Reentrant condensation, liquid–liquid phase separation and crystallization in protein solutions induced by multivalent metal ions1
We briefly summarize the recent progress in tuning protein interactions as well as phase behavior in protein solutions using multivalent metal ions. We focus on the influence of control parameters and the mechanism of reentrant condensation, the metastable liquid–liquid phase separation and classical vs. nonclassical pathways of protein crystallization.
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase separation of a surfactant-solubilized membrane protein.
Solubilization of membrane proteins requires surfactants, whose structural properties play a crucial role in determining the protein phase behavior. We show that ionization of a pH-sensitive surfactant, lauryldymethylamino-N-oxide, bound to the bacterial photosynthetic Reaction Center, induces protein phase segregation in micrometric "droplets." Liquid-liquid phase separation takes place in a n...
متن کاملKinetics of liquid-liquid phase separation in protein solutions exhibiting LCST phase behavior studied by time-resolved USAXS and VSANS.
We study the kinetics of the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and its arrest in protein solutions exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behavior using the combination of ultra-small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) and very-small angle neutron scattering (VSANS). We employ a previously established model system consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) solutions with YC...
متن کاملPhase Separation in Multicomponent Aqueous-Protein Solutions
published in Advance ACS Abstracts, December 1, 1994. 0022-3654/95/2099-0454$09.00/0 we present here the results of experimental and theoretical studies of a ternary solution constituted of the proteins yma (designated as protein A), a “high-Tc” protein, and yw (designated as protein B), a “low-Tc” protein, in aqueous solution. The solution pH was kept constant at 7.1 by a 100 mM phosphate buff...
متن کاملTau protein liquid–liquid phase separation can initiate tau aggregation
The transition between soluble intrinsically disordered tau protein and aggregated tau in neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Here, we propose that soluble tau species can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) under cellular conditions and that phase-separated tau droplets can serve as an intermediate toward tau aggregate formation. We demonstrate that phosphoryla...
