Abstract excerpt
ATP is the universal energy currency but mysteriously its cellular concentration is much higher than that needed for providing energy. Recently ATP was decoded to act as a hydrotrope to dissolve liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of FUS whose aggregation leads to ALS/FTD. By DIC microscopy and NMR, here we characterized the effect of ATP on LLPS of FUS and its N-/C-terminal domains. Very unexpectedly, we found...
