Phosphorylation of G3BP1-S149 does not influence stress granule assembly

J Cell Biol. 2019 Jul 1;218(7):2425-2432. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201801214. Epub 2019 Jun 6.

Abstract

Tourrière et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.200212128) reported that G3BP1-S149 dephosphorylation promotes stress granule formation. We show that constructs used to establish this conclusion contain additional mutations causing these phenotypes, and that S149 phosphorylation status does not change upon stress.
