Simulation of FUS Protein Condensates with an Adapted Coarse-Grained Model

Zakarya Benayad et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers developed a strategy to fine-tune the potential energy function for molecular dynamics simulations of biopolymer phase separation. By rebalancing protein-protein interactions against solvation and entropic contributions, they were able to simulate the liquid droplet formation of FUS low-complexity domain (LCD) with a rebalanced MARTINI model. The simulations successfully captured the phase separation of FUS-LCD droplets and provided insights into their physicochemical properties and dynamics.

Sequence-encoded and composition-dependent protein-RNA interactions control multiphasic condensate morphologies

Taranpreet Kaur et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of multivalent protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions in driving biological phase separation, demonstrating how competition between different molecules can lead to the demixing of condensates into stable coexisting phases. The biphasic condensates formed by a minimal system of PLP, RRP, and RNA exhibit diverse morphologies that are tunable through mixture stoichiometry and hierarchy of intermolecular interactions. The findings provide insights into the composition and spatial organization of multicomponent biomolecular condensates.

Reentrant liquid condensate phase of proteins is stabilized by hydrophobic and non-ionic interactions

Georg Krainer et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that cellular proteins that form condensates at low salt concentrations can reenter a phase-separated regime at high salt concentrations, driven by hydrophobic and non-ionic interactions. This sheds light on the cooperation of hydrophobic and non-ionic interactions as general driving forces in the condensation process, with implications for biomolecular condensates.

Physics-based computational and theoretical approaches to intrinsically disordered proteins

Joan-Emma Shea et al.

Summary: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a special class of proteins that do not fold into specific 3D shapes, making experimental studies challenging and requiring theoretical and computational methods. Recent progress has been made in developing new computational and theoretical approaches to study the structure and dynamics of IDPs, particularly their phase separation into protein-rich condensates.
