Programmable Zwitterionic Droplets as Biomolecular Sorters and Model of Membraneless Organelles

Umberto Capasso Palmiero et al.

Summary: Cells can regulate biochemical functions by generating membraneless compartments with well-defined mesoscopic properties, driven by associative disordered proteins that encode multivalent interactions. Inspired by this, programmable droplets based on responsive synthetic polymers mimicking the structure of biological disordered proteins have been developed to control emerging properties independently. This high programmability allows for the confinement of different molecules in space without physical barriers, demonstrating potential applications in bioseparation and diagnostics.

Deciphering how naturally occurring sequence features impact the phase behaviours of disordered prion-like domains

Anne Bremer et al.

Summary: This study uncovers how evolutionarily conserved compositional biases influence the phase behavior of Prion-like low-complexity domains (PLCDs). Tyrosine is identified as a stronger sticker, while lysine weakens sticker-sticker interactions. Additionally, glycine and serine residues act as non-equivalent spacers, impacting the driving forces for phase separation in PLCDs.

Analysis of biomolecular condensates and protein phase separation with microfluidic technology

Miriam Linsenmeier et al.

Summary: The increasing evidence shows that membraneless organelles are essential in cellular organization, and the physico-chemical rules underlying their assembly and functions still need further exploration. Microfluidic technologies are attractive tools for analyzing biomolecular phase transitions, providing high-throughput measurements and precise control over self-assembly in time and space.

Molecular determinants of protein-based coacervates

Rachel A. Kapelner et al.

Summary: Protein-polyelectrolyte coacervates have potential applications in stabilizing proteins, functioning as adhesives, and impacting the formation of membraneless organelles. Understanding the macromolecular properties that govern phase separation is essential, with key factors including nonspecific intermolecular interactions and specific biological interactions. Factors such as charge magnitude and distribution, polymer chemistry and structure, and post-translational modifications play crucial roles in protein phase separation.

Coacervates as models of membraneless organelles

N. Amy Yewdall et al.

Summary: Coacervates are condensed liquid-like droplets formed by oppositely charged polymeric molecules, with remarkable material properties that have been extensively studied. They play an important role in the formation of membraneless organelles in living cells. Well-characterized coacervates can serve as useful models to better understand specific aspects of membraneless organelles.

Can coacervation unify disparate hypotheses in the origin of cellular life?

Basusree Ghosh et al.

Summary: Coacervates as protocell models play a unique role in studies of the origin of life, with their ability to form, partition solutes, support RNA catalysis, and readily deform their shape believed to be important for the formation of the first membrane-bound cells, supporting RNA-peptide evolution and primitive metabolism, and in replicating and proliferating through growth and division processes.

Nucleation landscape of biomolecular condensates

Shunsuke F. Shimobayashi et al.

Summary: The process of nucleation in living cells is similar to that in non-living materials, but can be fine-tuned by biomolecular features. The dynamics of cellular processes can impact the rate and specificity of condensate nucleation sites. This quantitative framework provides insights into intracellular nucleation and opens the possibility of engineering synthetic condensates with precise spatial and temporal control.

Ligand effects on phase separation of multivalent macromolecules

Kiersten M. Ruff et al.

Summary: Biomolecular condensates concentrate biomolecules into non-stoichiometric assemblies, enabling spatial and temporal control over cellular processes. Ligands can modulate the phase behavior of scaffolds, affecting the formation and dissolution of condensates. Different types of ligands have varying effects on the stability of condensates, with monovalent ligands destabilizing condensates and multivalent ligands either stabilizing or destabilizing them.

Temperature-Responsive Peptide-Nucleotide Coacervates

Tiemei Lu et al.

Summary: By systematically investigating coacervates formed by different nucleoside triphosphates with poly-L-lysine and poly-L-arginine, the study revealed insights into their thermal stability, base stacking interactions, and effects on salt concentration and temperature. A simple relation between the critical temperature and salt concentration at the critical point can be derived. Mixing different NTPs with oppositely charged peptides can significantly impact the stability and bioavailability of the formed condensates.
