Peptide Synthesis> | Protein/RNA samples and labeling. Salmon protamine (P4005) was purchased from SigmaAldrich and used without any further purification. The third RGG box of FUS (RGG3; AA: 472- 505), protamine-lysine variant (PRM-K with 21 R-to-K substitutions), and [RGRGG]5 were synthesized by GenScript USA Inc. (NJ, USA; ≥ 90% purity) and used without further purification | Get A Quote |
Liquid-liquid phase separation of multivalent intrinsically disordered protein-RNA complexes is ubiquitous in both natural and biomimetic systems. So far, isotropic liquid droplets are the most commonly observed topology of RNA-protein condensates in experiments and simulations. Here, by systematically studying the phase behavior of RNA-protein complexes across varied mixture compositions, we report a hollow vesicle-like condensate phase of nucleoprotein assemblies that is distinct from RNA-protein droplets. We show that these vesicular condensates are stable at specific mixture compositions and concentration regimes within the phase diagram and are formed through the phase separation of anisotropic protein-RNA...
