Ded1p protin of baker's yeast

Caption

The Ded1p protein of baker's yeast changes from a diffuse state (unstressed green cells, left) to a state in which it forms dense structures (heat-stressed green cells, right). The transition is caused by the process of phase separation and is triggered by an increase in ambient temperature. The Ded1p protein was genetically labeled with a green fluorescent dye.
