Our latest work on #phaseseparation! We know changing environments can alter protein phase separation in cells, but can genetic changes do so as well? We addressed this by analyzing the phase-separation of a synthetic system in the yeast KO library 👇 https://t.co/bUnSoMTRhP
Huge kudos to @WeizmannScience's @Sys_Immunology Yifat Merbl, included in @Nature's 10.
This scientist found a new trick of the immune system by digging through cellular rubbish https://t.co/yEfSQc3XfB
Our new AI model CLSS that can co-embed protein sequences and structures is out at https://t.co/b03jvIrQOl.
We use a CLIP-like lean contrastive model (~35M million trained parameters!) and have super-exciting results.
With Guy Yanai, Gaby Axel, @LiamLongo, and Nir Ben-Tal.
Years ago, we discovered that missense mutations in homomeric proteins can induce their supramolecular assembly, as in the 📽️👇 - Question: how are such aberrant assemblies of *folded* proteins handled in a eukaryotic cell? The answer here: https://t.co/WyLwfeDPLQ + 🧵 below

I am thrilled to say that our work is now online @CellCellPress ! I've analysed protein structures for quite some time, but @Robb_Mallik, who co-led this work, took these analyses to yet another level - 🧵👇

🔥Cell biology meets structuromics🔥 1000s of proteins assemble co-translationally but we don't know why🤷♂️ @Robb_Mallik found it’s all about protein 🧩structure🧩, with implications for #gene_expression, #proteostasis, #evolution & #mRNAlocalization 🧵👇

Super cool simulations from the HarmonLab model a synthetic system from our lab that exhibits phase-boundaries measurable in cells. The simulations relate PS behavior to protein shape/conformation. Now I want to design conformation-regulated PS! https://t.co/A0XoP1CpPm
Accelerated computing is revolutionizing protein structure prediction, starting with lightning-fast multiple sequence alignments.

Anecdotally, we identified an ORF of unknown function (YLR402W) as an influencer of phase separation and cell size - it could be called AIS1 for "Altered Intracellular phase Separation 1"
