Proteomic studies have shown that cellular condensates are frequently enriched in diverse RNA molecules, which is suggestive of mechanistic links between phase separation and transcriptional activities. Here, we report a systematic experimental and computational study of thermodynamic landscapes and interfacial properties of protein-RNA condensates. We have studied the affinity of protein-RNA condensation as a function of variable RNA sequence length and RNA-protein stoichiometry under different ionic environments and external crowding. We have chosen the PolyU sequences for RNA and arginine/glycine-rich intrinsically disordered peptide (RGG) for proteins as a model system of RNA-protein condensates, which we t... More
