Abstract excerpt
The EFA6 protein family, originally identified as Sec7 guanine nucleotide exchange factors, has also been found to regulate cortical microtubule (MT) dynamics. Here, we find that in the mature C. elegans epidermal epithelium, EFA-6 forms punctate foci in specific regions of the apical cortex, dependent on its intrinsically disordered region (IDR). The EFA-6 IDR can form biomolecular condensates in vitro. In...
