A conceptual framework for understanding phase separation and addressing open questions and challenges

Tanja Mittag et al.

Summary: Macromolecular phase separation plays an important role in the spatial organization within cells. By understanding the synergy between networking and density transitions, we can explain the process of phase separation coupled to percolation (PSCP). This process forms viscoelastic network fluids with specific internal network structures, allowing for time-dependent interactions between viscous and elastic properties. PSCP provides insights into the role of macromolecular phase separation in biology by connecting different observations and addressing related challenges.

Formation of β-Lactoglobulin Self-Assemblies via Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation for Applications beyond the Biological Functions

Tuo-Di Zhang et al.

Summary: Proteins can form assemblies with specific structures in the presence of monosaccharides, ethylene glycols, and amino acids, starting from solute-rich liquid droplets via liquid-liquid phase separation. These assemblies exhibit significantly better performances than the protein itself in terms of autofluorescence, antioxidant activity, and metal ion absorption, indicating broad applications in bioimaging, biodetection, biodiagnosis, health maintenance, and pollution treatment.

Impact of Alginate Mannuronic-Guluronic Acid Contents and pH on Protein Binding Capacity and Complex Size

Mikkel Madsen et al.

Summary: Alginates were studied for their ability to form complexes with beta-lactoglobulin at different pH levels and varying ratios of M and G residues. The results showed that pH and M content influenced the binding capacity and size of the particles, providing insights for designing alginate-protein particles in acidic environments.

Binding Sites for Oligosaccharide Repeats from Lactic Acid Bacteria Exopolysaccharides on Bovine β-Lactoglobulin Identified by NMR Spectroscopy

Johnny Birch et al.

Summary: This study identified two binding sites on the whey protein BLGA for oligosaccharides derived from lactic acid bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS), revealing the multivalency of BLGA for EPS. The affinities of LY03-OS and 1187-OS for BLGA were determined to be in the mM range, and molecular docking suggested that the interactions between BLGA and EPS complexes rely on hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.

Uncharged Components of Single-Stranded DNA Modulate Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation With Cationic Linker Histone H1

Masahiro Mimura et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the roles of DNA components in liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and DNAs, including electrostatic interactions between phosphate groups and deoxyribose, as well as interactions involving nucleobases and deoxyriboses. These interactions promote the generation of spherical liquid droplets and modulate the density of DNA within the droplets under low-salt conditions. Additionally, non-spherical assemblies with both mobile and immobile fractions were observed at higher concentrations of a polycationic peptide, linker histone H1, for all DNA oligomers.
