Protein G3BP Under Stress

Caption

Model representing the behavior of the protein G3BP under stress: RNA molecules bind to G3BP, allowing multiple interactions that promote the clustering of G3BP and the assembly of dynamic stress granules (SG). The image on the left shows a cell in which stress granules were labeled with a fluorescent dye. The schematic on the right gives insight into the molecular structure and organization of stress granules.
