Sequence-encoded material properties dictate the structure and function of nuclear bodies

Highlights • Nuclear bodies (NBs) are phase-separated membraneless organelles. • Amino acid sequences of NB components confer liquid-like or solid-like behavior. • Differences in material properties of immiscible phases drive core/shell structure. • Concentration of enzymes within NBs can enhance or...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Nuclear bodies (NBs) are phase-separated membraneless organelles. • Amino acid sequences of NB components confer liquid-like or solid-like behavior. • Differences in material properties of immiscible phases drive core/shell structure. • Concentration of enzymes within NBs can enhance or inhibit their function.
