LcFAX-MS-Powered Biomolecular Condensate Analysis Reveals TRIM28-Mediated G3BP1/2 SUMOylation in Regulating Stress Granule Dynamics

ABSTRACT: Membraneless organelles are formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) without the need for lipid membranes. Various membraneless organelles, such as stress granules (SGs), nucleoli, and P-bodies, play critical roles in regulating cellular homeostasis, and proteins undergoing LLPS have been linked to numerous human diseases. However, due to their transient, heterogeneous, and membraneless nature, capturing their states with preserved integrity is challenging. In this study, we introduce a low-concentration formaldehyde crosslinking (lcFAX) method that effectively stabilizes membraneless organelles, including arsenite (AS)-induced G3BP1 SGs and TDP43 formed nuclear bodies. Using lcFAX-MS, we identified hundreds of new SG proteins. Specifically, we demonstrate that TRIM28 SUMOylates G3BP1 at K287 and G3BP2 at K281, respectively, a crucial mechanism for regulating SG dynamics. Furthermore, lcFAX-seq provides insights into the RNA composition of SGs. Altogether, lcFAX is a powerful tool for stabilizing membraneless organelles, facilitating comprehensive proteomic and transcriptomic analyses that reveal new regulatory mechanisms. Notably, lcFAX-MS highlights the critical role of TRIM28-mediated SUMOylation in modulating SG dynamics.
