TL;DR

QuPID-MS, which measures the propensity of proteins to phase separate in native cell extracts proteome-wide, finds that weak interactions drive condensation of half of the proteome in a crowding- and temperature-dependent manner and presents evidence that this proteome demixing occurs in cells.

High-throughput methods for studying protein self-assembly.

Emerging high-throughput strategies to study protein condensation and aggregation at scale are reviewed, emphasizing what they truly measure, their limitations, and how the cross-talk among these complementary approaches can provide a more accurate and mechanistic mapping of sequence-to-assembly relationships.

How Epitranscriptomic Machinery Senses Environmental Cues

A kinetics‐to‐sensors approach for interpreting time‐resolved epitranscriptomic datasets and prioritizing perturbations that discriminate among candidate upstream inputs is proposed and outline conceptual gaps and experimental practices needed to establish causal cue‐to‐mark chains.

On the Robustness of Biomolecular Systems to Perturbations in Translational Resources

It is shown that the constitutive circuit exhibits sensitivity to resource perturbations, and that redesigning it with negative autoregulatory feedback enhances the contraction rate and reduces the steady-state deviation bound, though at lower expression levels.
