Budding yeast cells with high levels of ATP do not lead to abnormal aggregation of proteins (magenta), while mutant cells with low levels of ATP exhibit clumps of proteins (magenta). Taken together, Takaine et al.’s results suggest that ATP plays a role in stopping proteins from sticking together, explaining why cells may store excess ATP, since it could aid survival. https://elifesciences.org/digests/6...witter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic
