Stress granules (SGs) and processing bodies (PBs) are membraneless cytoplasmic assemblies regulating mRNAs under environmental stress such as viral infections, neurological disorders, or cancer. Upon antigen stimulation, T lymphocytes mediate their immune functions under regulatory mechanisms involving SGs and PBs. However, the impact of T cell activation on such complexes in terms of formation, constitution, and relationship remains unknown. Here, by combining proteomic, transcriptomic, and immunofluorescence approaches, we simultaneously characterized the SGs and PBs from primary human T lymphocytes pre and post stimulation. The identification of the proteomes and transcriptomes of SGs and PBs indicate an unanticipated molecular and functional complementarity. Notwithstanding, these granules keep distinct spatial organizations and abilities to interact with mRNAs. This comprehensive characterization of the RNP granule proteomic and transcriptomic landscapes provides a unique resource for future investigations on SGs and PBs in T lymphocytes.

Stress triggers the formation of two distinct cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates: stress granules (SGs) and processing bodies (PBs), both of which may contribute to stress-responsive translation regulation. Though PBs can be present constitutively, stress can increase their number and size and lead to their interaction with stress-induced SGs. The mechanism of such interaction, however, is largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Bacterial cells organize their cytoplasm using biomolecular condensates (BMCs), which are nonmembrane-bound organelles formed through phase separation.
- Bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) are a key example of BMCs that house RNA decay machinery, showing functional similarities to eukaryotic structures like P-bodies and stress granules.
- Despite differences in mRNA decay processes, recent studies indicate evolutionary convergence in the types of enzymes found in these condensates across bacteria and eukaryotes.
Polarity-dependent expression and localization of secretory glucoamylase mRNA in filamentous fungal cells.

In multinuclear and multicellular filamentous fungi little is known about how mRNAs encoding secreted enzymes are transcribed and localized spatiotemporally. To better understand this process we analyzed mRNA encoding GlaA, a glucoamylase secreted in large amounts by the industrial filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, by the MS2 system, in which mRNA can be visualized in living cells. We found that glaA mRNA was significantly transcribed and localized near the hyphal tip and septum, which are the sites of protein secretion, in polarity-dependent expression and localization manners.

The membrane-less organelles in cytoplasm that are presented as cytoplasmic foci were successively identified. Although multiple CCCH zinc-finger proteins have been found to be localized in cytoplasmic foci, the relationship between their specific localization and functions still needs further clarification. Here, we report that the heterologous expression of two CCCH zinc-finger protein genes ( and ) in can affect microgametogenesis by involving the formation of cytoplasmic foci.

The CCCH proteins play important roles in plant growth and development, hormone response, pathogen defense and abiotic stress tolerance. However, the knowledge of their roles in thermotolerance are scarce. Here, we identified a heat-inducible CCCH gene LlC3H18 from lily.
