IGF2BP1 phosphorylation regulates ribonucleoprotein condensate formation by impairing low-affinity protein and RNA interactions (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein (IGF2BP1) is a conserved RNA-binding protein that regulates RNA stability, localization, and translation. IGF2BP1 is part of various ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensates. However, the mechanism that regulates its assembly into condensates remains unknown. Here we found, using proteomics, that IGF2BP1 phosphorylation at S181 in a disordered linker is regulated in a stress-dependent manner. Phosphomimetic mutations in two disordered linkers, S181E and Y396E, modulated RNP condensate formation by IGF2BP1 without impacting its binding affinity for RNA. Intriguingly, the S181E mutant, which lies in linker 1, impaired IGF2BP1 condensate formation in vitro and in cells, whereas a Y396E mutant in the second linker increased condensate size and dynamics. Structural approaches showed that the first linker binds RNAs nonspecifically through its RGG/RG motif, an interaction weakened in the S181E mutant. Notably, linker 2 interacts with IGF2BP1’s folded domains and these interactions were partially impaired in the Y396E mutant. Our data reveal how phosphorylation modulates low affinity interaction networks in disordered linkers to regulate RNP condensate formation.

Coactivator condensation drives cell lineage specification

Project description:During development, cells make switch-like decisions to activate new gene programs specifying cell lineage. The mechanisms underlying these decisive choices remain unclear. Here we show that the cardiovascular transcriptional coactivator, Myocardin (MYOCD), activates cell identity genes by concentration-dependent and switch-like formation of transcriptional condensates. MYOCD forms such condensates and activates cell identity genes at critical concentration thresholds achieved during smooth muscle cell and cardiomyocyte differentiation. The C-terminal disordered region of MYOCD is necessary and sufficient for condensate formation. Disrupting this region’s ability to form condensates disrupts gene activation. Rescuing condensate formation by replacing this region with disordered regions from functionally unrelated proteins rescues gene activation. Our findings demonstrate that MYOCD condensate formation is required for gene activation during differentiation. We propose that the formation of transcriptional condensates at critical concentrations of cell type-specific regulators provides a molecular switch underlying the activation of key cell identity genes during cell lineage specification.

Coactivator condensation drives lineage specification

Project description:During development, cells make switch-like decisions to activate the expression of new gene programs leading to lineage specification1. The mechanisms underlying these decisive choices remain unclear2. Here we find that Myocardin (MYOCD), a cardiomyocyte and smooth muscle cell-specific transcriptional coactivator3-6, activates lineage-specific gene programs by concentration-dependent and switch-like formation of nuclear condensates. While compartmentalization of the transcriptional machinery by condensates has been associated with gene activation7,8, directly linking the two processes has been a major challenge for the field9,10. By modeling the natural changes in MYOCD concentration during development, coupled with quantitative fluorescence microscopy, single-cell resolution reporter assays, and cellular differentiation assays, we demonstrate that condensate formation is directly linked to transcriptional activation and lineage specification. During cardiomyocyte and smooth muscle cell differentiation, the formation of MYOCD condensates precedes activation of cell identity genes and these condensates are present at sites of cell identity gene transcription. MYOCD condensates form, activate gene expression, and specify cell state at critical concentration thresholds, dependent upon the C-terminal disordered region of MYOCD. Disrupting condensate formation by manipulating the sequence of this region impairs gene activation which can be rescued by replacing this region with condensate-forming disordered regions from functionally unrelated proteins. These results demonstrate that coactivator condensation at critical concentrations enables switch-like changes in gene expression programs crucial for lineage specification.

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.

Stress-induced nuclear condensation of NELF drives global transcriptional downregulation

Project description:In response to stress, human cells actively downregulate ongoing gene expression programs. Translational downregulation is accompanied by the assembly of stress granules which are cytosolic condensates containing ribosomes and mRNA. Transcriptional downregulation is caused by an increased recruitment of Negative Elongation Factors (NELF) to promoters, inhibiting RNA Pol II elongation. We report here that NELF forms nuclear condensates upon stress which can be recapitulated by liquid-liquid phase separation of recombinant NELF in vitro. Stress leads to rapid dephosphorylation and SUMOylation of NELF in cells facilitating condensate formation driven by intrinsically disordered domains of NELFA and NELFE subunits. Using NELF mutants that do not form condensates we provide evidence that condensation is required for increased recruitment of NELF to downregulated promoters and cellular survival in stress. Thus, our study has uncovered a novel nuclear condensate that is conceptually similar to cytosolic stress granule in downregulating gene expression during stressful conditions.

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.
