Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered new insights into how the proteins GRB2 and SOS1 in cells pass signals from membrane receptors to nuclei. They used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study how and which specific regions of GRB2 and SOS1 bind together, specifically how they trigger liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Signal transduction issues are a major cause of cancers: understanding how it works could lead to radical new treatments. Biological cells function through a complex network of signal pathways, where reactions in specific parts of the cell lead sequentially to others through structural changes in proteins, a vast…
