🧵 I’m thrilled to share our new preprint! We uncovered a mechanism explaining how mitotic divisions are coordinated with early gene expression during embryogenesis. Here's the story: (1/7) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cyclin B3-CDK1 couples translational de-repression to embryonic mitoses via OMA protein degradation in C. elegans.
During early embryogenesis, gene expression relies on maternally loaded mRNAs whose translation is controlled by RNA binding proteins. Here, we identify a critical role for the cyclin B3-CDK1 complex,...

The nucleolus is the largest condensate in the nucleus and the site where ribosomes are built. It has no membrane. It assembles by phase separation, components demixing from the nucleoplasm into a droplet. So what decides when it forms? 🧵🪱💧 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
