The discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) has opened up a new era in understanding cellular compartmentalization. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a major role in the spatial-temporal organization of intracellular space, leading to the formation of membrane-less organelles (MLOs). MLOs are highly dynamic, multicomponent biological condensates that fine-tune the regulation of intracellular processes. IDPs are essential for the assembly and functioning of MLOs. Stress-induced MLOs and the modification of existing MLOs in response to stress factors are described in this review.
The discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that do not have an ordered structure and nevertheless perform essential functions has opened a new era in the understanding of cellular compartmentalization. It threw the bridge from the mostly mechanistic model of the organization of the living matter to the idea of highly dynamic and functional soft matter. This paradigm is based on the notion of the major role of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers in the spatial-temporal organization of intracellular space. The LLPS leads to the formation of self-assembled membrane-less organelles (MLOs). MLOs are multicomponent and multifunctional biological condensates, highly dynamic in structure and composition, that allow them to fine-tune the regulation of various intracellular processes. IDPs play a central role in the assembly and functioning of MLOs. The LLPS importance for the regulation of chemical reactions inside the cell is clearly illustrated by the reorganization of the intracellular space during stress response. As a reaction to various types of stresses, stress-induced MLOs appear in the cell, enabling the preservation of the genetic and protein material during unfavourable conditions. In addition, stress causes structural, functional, and compositional changes in the MLOs permanently present inside the cells. In this review, we describe the assembly of stress-induced MLOs and the stress-induced modification of existing MLOs in eukaryotes, yeasts, and prokaryotes in response to various stress factors.
