High-Throughput and Proteome-wide Discovery of Endogenous Biomolecular Condensates

ABSTRACT: Phase separation inside mammalian cells regulates the formation of biomolecular condensates that are related to gene expression, signalling, development, and diseases. However, a large population of endogenous condensates and their candidate phase separating proteins have yet to be discovered in a quantitative and high-throughput manner. Here, we demonstrate that endogenously-expressed biomolecular condensates can be identified across a cell's proteome by sorting proteins across varying oligomeric states. We employ volumetric compression to modulate the concentrations of intracellular proteins and the degree of crowdedness, which are physical regulators of cellular biomolecular condensates. The changes in degree of the partition of proteins into condensates or phase separation lead to varying oligomeric states of the proteins, which can be detected by coupling density gradient ultracentrifugation and quantitative mass spectrometry. In total, we identified 1,518 endogenous-expression condensate proteins, of which 538 have not been reported before. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our strategy can identify condensate proteins that respond to specific biological processes.

Molecular features driving condensate formation and gene expression by the BRD4-NUT fusion oncoprotein are overlapping but distinct [RNA-seq]

Project description:Aberrant formation of biomolecular condensates has been proposed to play a role in several cancers. The oncogenic fusion protein BRD4-NUT forms condensates and drives changes in gene expression in Nut Carcinoma (NC). Here we sought to understand the molecular elements of BRD4-NUT and its associated histone acetyltransferase (HAT), p300, that promote these activities. We determined that a minimal fragment of NUT (MIN) in fusion with BRD4 is necessary and sufficient to bind p300 and form condensates. Furthermore, a BRD4-p300 fusion protein also forms condensates and drives gene expression similarly to BRD4-NUT(MIN), suggesting the p300 fusion may mimic certain features of BRD4-NUT. The intrinsically disordered regions, transcription factor-binding domains, and HAT activity of p300 all collectively contribute to condensate formation by BRD4-p300, suggesting that these elements might contribute to condensate formation by BRD4-NUT. Conversely, only the HAT activity of BRD4-p300 appears necessary to mimic the transcriptional profile of cells expressing BRD4-NUT. Our results suggest a model for condensate formation by the BRD4-NUT:p300 complex involving a combination of positive feedback and phase separation, and show that multiple overlapping, yet distinct, regions of p300 contribute to condensate formation and transcriptional regulation.

Phosphorylation regulates viral biomolecular condensates to promote infectious progeny production

Project description:Biomolecular condensates play important roles in diverse biological processes. Many viruses form biomolecular condensates which have been implicated in various functions critical for productive infection of host cells. The adenovirus L1-52/55 kilodalton protein (52K) was recently shown to form viral biomolecular condensates that coordinate viral genome packaging and capsid assembly. Although critical for packaging, we do not know how viral condensates are regulated during adenovirus infection. Here we show that phosphorylation of serine residues 28 and 75 within the N-terminal intrinsically disordered region of 52K modulates viral condensates in vitro and in cells, promoting liquid-like properties over condensate hardening. Furthermore, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of 52K promotes viral genome packaging and production of infectious progeny particles. Collectively, our findings provide insights into how viral condensate properties are regulated and maintained in a state conducive to their function in viral progeny production. In addition, our findings have implications for antiviral strategies aimed at targeting the regulation of viral biomolecular condensates to limit viral multiplication.

Systematic investigation on the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on condensate formation under heat stress and recovery

Project description:O-GlcNAc is known to regulate the aggregation and condensate formation of several proteins, but how O-GlcNAc regulates protein solubilities globally has yet to be systematically investigated. Here, we employed a chemoproteomic workflow integrating selective enrichment and multiplex proteomics to quantify the solubilities of O-GlcNAcylated and non-modified proteins, as well as their role in RNA condensate formation. The solubilities were also quantified after heat stress and recovery to investigate the condensate formation during heat stress response. Surprisingly. we found O-GlcNAc leads to dramatic solubility decrease of the modified proteins, and the degree of solubility drop is related to the protein localization and functions. Site-specific analysis found the adjacent residues and secondary structures of the glycosites are pivotal for the effect of O-GlcNAc for solubility change, and the number of acidic residues is related to the different effect of O-GlcNAc in heat stress and recovery. Additionally, it was found that O-GlcNAc promotes the dissociation of RNA condensates during heat stress, while it enhances the formation of RNA condensates in the recovery phase. The glycosites that facilitate the dissociation or the formation of the RNA condensates are distinct, and the physiological properties of their surroundings residues are diverse. This work advances our understanding of the role of O-GlcNAc in regulating biomolecular condensates and will be a useful resource for future research in biomolecular condensates.

cAMP-induced nuclear condensation of CRTC2 promotes transcription elongation and cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Project description:Formation of biomolecular condensates by phase separation has recently emerged as a new principle for regulating gene expression in response to extracellular signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the coupling of signal transduction and gene activation through condensate formation, and how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to disease progression, remain elusive. Here we report that CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) translocates to the nucleus and forms phase-separated condensates upon activation of cAMP signaling. We show that intranuclear CRTC2 interacts with positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and activates P-TEFb by disrupting the inhibitory 7SK snRNP complex. Aberrantly elevated cAMP signaling plays central roles in the development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We find that CRTC2 localizes to the nucleus and forms condensates in cystic epithelial cells of both mouse and human ADPKD kidneys. Genetic depletion of CRTC2 suppresses cyst growth in an orthologous ADPKD mouse model. Using integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses, we identify CRTC2-regulated cystogenesis-associated genes, whose activation depends on CRTC2 condensate-facilitated P-TEFb recruitment and the release of paused RNA polymerase II. Together, our findings elucidate a mechanism by which CRTC2 nuclear condensation conveys cAMP signaling to transcription elongation activation and thereby promotes cystogenesis in ADPKD.

Formation of biomolecular condensates in bacteria by tuning protein electrostatics

Project description:While eukaryotic cells have a myriad of membrane-bound organelles enabling the isolation of different chemical environments, prokaryotic cells lack these defined reaction vessels. Biomolecular condensates—organelles that lack a membrane—provide a strategy for cellular organization without a physical barrier while allowing for the dynamic, responsive organization of the cell. It is well established that intrinsically disordered protein domains drive condensate formation via liquid–liquid phase separation; however, the role of globular protein domains on intracellular phase separation remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that the overall charge of globular proteins would dictate the formation and concentration of condensates and systematically probed this hypothesis with supercharged proteins and nucleic acids in E. coli. Within this study, we demonstrated that condensates form via electrostatic interactions between engineered proteins and RNA and that these condensates are dynamic and only enrich specific nucleic acid and protein components. Herein, we propose a simple model for the phase separation based on protein charge that can be used to predict intracellular condensate formation. With these guidelines, we have paved the way to designer functional synthetic membraneless organelles with tunable control over globular protein function.

Eukaryotic cytoplasm is widely structured via mesoscale condensates

Project description:Compartmentalization is an essential feature of eukaryotic life and is achieved both via membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, and membrane-less biomolecular condensates, such as the nucleolus. Known biomolecular condensates typically exhibit liquid-like properties and are visualized by microscopy on the scale of ~1µm. They have been studied mostly by microscopy, examining select individual proteins. So far, several dozen biomolecular condensates are known, serving a multitude of functions, for example, in the regulation of transcription, RNA processing or signalling and their malfunction can cause diseases. However, it remains unclear to what extent biomolecular condensates are utilized in cellular organization and at what length scale they typically form. Here we examine native cytoplasm from Xenopus egg extract on a global scale with quantitative proteomics, filtration, size exclusion and dilution experiments. These assays reveal that at least 18% of the proteome is organized into mesoscale biomolecular condensates at the scale of ~100nm and appear to be stabilized by RNA or gelation. We confirmed mesoscale sizes via imaging below the diffraction limit by investigating protein permeation into porous substrates with defined pore sizes. Our results show that eukaryotic cytoplasm organizes extensively via biomolecular condensates, but at surprisingly short length scales.

cAMP-induced nuclear condensation of CRTC2 promotes transcription elongation and cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Forming biomolecular condensates by phase separation has recently emerged as a new principle for regulating gene expression in response to extracellular signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the coupling of signaling transduction and gene activation through condensate formation and how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to disease progression remain elusive. Here we report that CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) translocates to nucleus and forms phase-separated condensates upon activation of cAMP signaling. We show that CRTC2 interacts with positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), and cAMP-induced CRTC2 condensate formation activates P-TEFb by extracting P-TEFb from its inhibitory complex. Aberrantly elevated cAMP signaling plays central roles in the development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We demonstrate that, in contrast to a dispersed cytosolic distribution in the normal tubular epithelia cells, CRTC2 localizes in nucleus and forms condensates in cystic epithelial cells of mouse and human ADPKD kidneys. We show that genetic depletion of CRTC2 markedly suppresses cyst growth in an orthologous ADPKD mouse model. Using integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses, we identify CRTC2-regulated cystogenic genes, whose activation depends on CRTC2 condensation-facilitated P-TEFb recruitment and RNA polymerase II pausing release. Together, our findings elucidate a mechanism by which CRTC2 nuclear condensation conveys cAMP signaling to transcription elongation activation and promotes cystogenesis in ADPKD.

HspB8 controls hardening and molecular aging of FUS condensates by domain-specific protein interactions Part 1

Project description:Biomolecular condensates formed by phase separation offer a confined space where protein-protein interactions (PPIs) facilitate distinct biochemical reactions. As their aberrant behavior is increasingly associated with disease, it is crucial to understand the molecular organization of PPIs within condensates. Using quantitative and time-resolved crosslinkingmass spectrometry we directly and specifically monitor PPIs and protein dynamics of fused in sarcoma (FUS) condensates and identify its RNA recognition motif (RRM) as a key player of condensate-specific PPIs and aging. We find that the chaperone HspB8, but not a disease-associated mutant, prevents FUS aging. The disordered region of HspB8 directs its α-crystallin domain (αCD) into FUS condensates. Here, RRM unfolding drives aggregation but binding of HspB8 via a droplet-specific αCD – RRM interface significantly delays the onset of aging. We propose that chaperones such as HspB8 prevent aberrant phase transitions by stabilizing aggregation prone RNA binding domains in times of cellular stress.
