Endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores are essential to myriad cellular processes, however, the structure of these stores is largely unknown and existing models do not address all literature observations. We investigate CASQ1 - the major Ca2+ binding protein of skeletal muscle - and discover Ca2+-dependent liquid-liquid phase separation activity. The intrinsic disorder of CASQ1 underlies this activity and is regulated via phosphorylation by the secretory pathway kinase FAM20C. This divalent cation driven condensation demonstrates liquid-liquid phase separation occurs within the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum, mechanistically explains efficient Ca2+ buffering and storage, and represents a largely unexplored mechanism of divalent-cation driven protein association.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
