摘要: Proteins with chemically regulatable phase separation are of great interest in the fields of biomolecular condensates and synthetic biology. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are the dominating building blocks of biomolecular condensates which often lack orthogonality and small-molecule regulation desired to create synthetic biomolecular condensates or membraneless organelles (MLOs). Here, we discover a well-folded globular protein, lipoate-protein ligase A (LplA) from E. coli involved in lipoylation of enzymes essential for one-carbon and energy metabolisms, that exhibits structural homomeric oligomerization and a rare LCST-type reversible phase separation in vitro. In both E. coli and human U2OS cells, LplA can form orthogonal condensates, which can be specifically dissolved by its natural substrate, the small molecule lipoic acid and its analogue lipoamide. The study of LplA phase behavior and its regulatability expands our understanding and toolkit of small-molecule regulatable protein phase behavior with impacts on biomedicine and synthetic biology.
