The fitness cost and benefit of phase separated protein deposits

2019-03-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Phase separation of soluble proteins into insoluble deposits is associated with numerous diseases. However, protein deposits can also function as membrane-less compartments for many cellular processes. What are the fitness costs and benefits of forming such deposits in different conditions? Using a model protein that phase separates into deposits, we distinguish and quantify the fitness contribu...
