Biomolecular condensates create phospholipid-enriched microenvironments (Part 1)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Proteins and RNA are able to phase separate from the aqueous cellular environment to form sub-cellular compartments called condensates. This process results in a protein-RNA mixture that is chemically distinct from the surrounding aqueous phase. Here we use mass spectrometry to characterize the metabolomes of condensates. To test this, we prepared mixtures of phase-separated proteins and cellular metabolites and identified metabolites enriched in the condensate phase. These proteins included SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid, as well as low complexity domains of MED1 and HNRNPA1.
