![]() Where studied, only a few residents are typically necessary to form theĬondensate. Residents rapidly exchange between the condensate and the surrounding cytoplasm or Vary dramatically under different cellular conditions and can rapidly changeĮven in the absence of stimuli, most (but not all) Particularly among the various RNA-containing structures. Unique to a specific condensate, but others can be shared between different types, Proteins as well as over 1,000 RNA transcripts. Individual condensates can contain hundreds of distinct molecular components.įor example, PML bodies can contain over 200 unique proteins, the nucleolus canĬontain over 4500 unique proteins, and stress granules can contain over 100 Models for compositional control of condensates Ultimately discerning their cellular and organismic functions. Information is essential to understanding condensates as biochemical entities and Here we will discuss current models and data regarding a less well-understoodĪspect of biomolecular condensates-their compositions.Ĭondensate, which molecules are concentrated within the structure and which areĭepleted (and to what quantitative degree for both), what physical factors determineĬoncentration/depletion, and how can the collection of molecules be regulated? Such Material properties, and potentially give rise to new biochemical and cellular functions Of biomolecules drive LLPS, enable regulation of the process, dictate condensate Recent reviews have focused on how these features Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins, and repetitive base-pairingĮlements in RNA and DNA.
