    Treacle’s ability to form liquid-like phase condensates is essential for nucleolar fibrillar center assembly, efficient rRNA transcription and processing, and rRNA gene repair

    Artem K Velichko, Nadezhda V Petrova ... Omar L Kantidze
    Treacle condensation, driven by alternating charge blocks, facilitates interactions with transcription factors to spatially segregate ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing, while also recruiting TOPBP1 for activation of the rDNA damage response.
