摘要
A recent study published in Science by Krypotou et al.reported the role of an intrinsically disordered region(IDR)in the transcription termination Rho protein from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron:in response to starvation Rho phase separated,which triggered an increase in Rho activity and expression changes.1 These results demonstrate that a highly conserved protein can acquire new regulatory properties in evolution by gaining an IDR that leads to protein phase separation.
