“…Phase separation is driven by multivalent interactions, which may be triggered by proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) 1,2 or by interactions with binding partners. 3,4 In addition, phase separation is regulated by active processes, including posttranslational modifications, [5][6][7] and is affected by environmental variables, such as temperature, 8 salt type and concentration, 9 and pH. 10,11 Phaseseparated condensates play an essential role in various biological processes, including the formation of heterochromatin, 12,13 gene expression, [14][15][16] cell division, 17,18 synaptic complex formation, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and autophagic degradation.…”
