PARIS undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation and poly(ADP-ribose)-mediated solidification.

ABSTRACT: ZNF746 was identified as parkin-interacting substrate (PARIS). Investigating its pathophysiological properties, we find that PARIS undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and amorphous solid formation. The N-terminal low complexity domain 1 (LCD1) of PARIS is required for LLPS, whereas the C-terminal prion-like domain (PrLD) drives the transition from liquid to solid phase. In addition, we observe that poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) strongly binds to the C-terminus of PARIS near the PrLD, accelerating its LLPS and solidification. N-Methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced PAR formation leads to PARIS oligomerization in human iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons that is prevented by the PARP inhibitor, ABT-888. Furthermore, SDS-resistant PARIS species are observed in the substantia ni
