Low-complexity (LC) domains regulate the aggregation and phase transition of proteins in a modification-dependent manner. The study of LC domain modifications has now become feasible, as shown by genetic variants of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) that provide access to the type and position of modifications of a LC domain by mass spectrometry (MS).
低复杂度(LC)结构域以依赖修饰的方式调节蛋白质的聚集和相变。RNA 聚合酶 II(Pol II)羧基末端结构域(CTD)的遗传变异表明,LC 结构域修饰的研究现在已经成为可能,这些遗传变异可通过质谱(MS)获取 LC 结构域修饰的类型和位置。
