Phosphorylation toggles the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein between two membrane-associated condensate states

Abstract The Nucleocapsid protein (N) of SARS-CoV-2 plays a critical role in the viral lifecycle by regulating RNA replication and by packaging the viral genome. N and RNA phase separate to form condensates that may be important for these functions. Both functions occur at membrane surfaces, but how...
