Spatiotemporal Dynamic Assembly/Disassembly of Organelle-Mimics Based on Intrinsically Disordered Protein-Polymer Conjugates.

Résumé

Design of reversible organelle-like microcompartments formed by liquid-liquid phase separation in cell-mimicking entities has significantly advanced the bottom-up construction of artificial eukaryotic cells. However, organizing the formation of artificial organelle architectures in a spatiotemporal manner within complex primitive compartments remains scarcely explored. In this work, thermoresponsive hybrid polypeptide-polymer conjugates are rationally engineered and synthesized, resulting from the conjugation of an intrinsically disordered synthetic protein (IDP), namely elastin-like polypeptide, and synthetic polymers (poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran) that are widely used as macromolecular crowding agents. Cell-like constructs are built using droplet-based microfluidics that are filled with such bioconjugates and an artificial cytoplasm system that is composed of specific polymers conjugated to the IDP. The distinct spatial organizations of two polypeptide-polymer conjugates and the dynamic assembly and disassembly of polypeptide-polymer coacervate droplets in response to temperature are studied in the cytomimetic protocells. Furthermore, a monoblock IDP with longer length is concurrently included with bioconjugates individually inside cytomimetic compartments. Both bioconjugates exhibit an identical surfactant-like property, compartmentalizing the monoblock IDP coacervates via temperature control. These findings lay the foundation for developing hierarchically structured synthetic cells with interior organelle-like structures which could be designed to localize in desired phase-separated subcompartments.
