An optogenetic proximity labeling approach to probe the composition of inducible biomolecular condensates in cultured cells.

ABSTRACT: Inducible biomolecular condensates play fundamental roles in cellular responses to intracellular and environmental cues. Knowledge about their composition is crucial to understand the functions that arise specifically from the assembly of condensates. This protocol combines an optogenetic and an efficient proximity labeling approach to analyze protein modifications driven by protein condensation in cultured cells. Low endogenous biotin level ensures sharp signals. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Frattini et al. (2021).

Off-the-shelf proximity labeling

Project description:In this study we developed a new assay to perform proximity biotinylation in cells without the requirement for genetic manipulation or transfection to fuse a biotin ligase to a protein of interest. We show the specificity by targeting H3K9me3 and performing ChIP-seq for the biotin modification. Targeting IgG was used as a control. By doing so, we identified flywch1 as a new protein binding to H3K9me3 regions, which we validated using ChIP-seq (IgG ChIP was used as a control)

Material properties of biomolecular condensates regulates RNA splicing and tumorigenesis

Project description:It remains largely unclear how material properties of biomolecular condensates impact physiological and pathological processes such as cancer. Here we show that AKAP95, a nuclear protein involved in gene regulation, plays an important role in tumorigenesis through directly regulating mRNA splicing. We show that AKAP95, through an intrinsic disordered region (IDR), forms liquid-like droplets in vitro and dynamic foci in nucleus. We have also identified key residues in IDR whose mutations to different residues perturb AKAP95 condensation in opposite directions. Importantly, the biological activity of AKAP95 in splice regulation is affected by either disruption of liquid condensation or enhancing the gelation of the assembly. We then show that the ability of AKAP95 in overcoming oncogene-induced senescence requires AKAP95 in an appropriate window of liquidity. These results thus link phase separation to tumorigenesis and uncover an important role of regulating the material property of protein condensates in disease including cancer.
