A bacterial nucleolus for cold adaptation
Compartmentalisation enables cells to spatially organise essential biochemical processes. This is exemplified by the eukaryotic nucleolus, which concentrates the machinery for ribosome biogenesis. Bacteria are generally thought to lack an equivalent compartment. Here we discover a nucleolus-like condensate in Escherichia coli that emerges at rDNA loci during cold adaptation to spatially organise…
