The nuclear localization sequence mediates hnRNPA1 amyloid fibril formation revealed by cryoEM structure

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm to regulate gene expression and RNA metabolism and its low complexity (LC) C-terminal domain facilitates liquid–liquid phase separation and amyloid aggregation. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM struc...
