Multivalent electrostatic pi–cation interaction between synaptophysin and synapsin is responsible for the coacervation

Abstract We recently showed that synaptophysin (Syph) and synapsin (Syn) can induce liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) to cluster small synaptic-like microvesicles in living cells which are highly reminiscent of SV cluster. However, as there is no physical interaction between them, the underlying...
