🚨Condensate of the Month is Stress Granule!

#StressGranules (#SGs) are dynamically forming cytoplasmic condensates that form in response to various cellular stresses.
🤩In CD-CODE there are more than 10 species and more than 1300 #protein associations described for SGs.

It's out! 🎉 Excited to share our latest paper in @plos.org Pathogens!

We set out to understand the role of #StressGranules in the #antiviral response against #RNAviruses, using #FMDV as our model. Here's what we found:

Very much similar to stress granule condensates in animal cells, mRNA storage within aggresomes confers an advantage for bacterial survival and recovery from stress.

🧵3/6 - N* is a double-stranded RNA binding protein that blunts various human antiviral pathways.

Most interestingly, N* is VERY good at blocking #StressGranules and #RLBs, and it does so by sequestering double-stranded RNAs.
