A prion-like domain in ELF3 functions as a thermosensor in Arabidopsis

Nature, Published online: 26 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2644-7

The adaptability of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana to different temperatures is regulated by the ability of its ELF3 protein to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation, in a manner that is dependent on the protein’s prion-like domain.
