Abstract

Significance: The cell is divided into compartments where specific biochemical functions are performed. These compartments can be delineated by membranes or through phase separation of proteins or protein and nucleic acids to form membraneless organelles. The latter situation occurs with an intrinsically disordered region of Ddx4, a major constituent of germ granules. The nature of the interior of membraneless organelles is poorly understood. Here, we use NMR to show that the intrinsically disordered Ddx4 region remains disordered and highly dynamic in the phase-separated state, while diffusing as slowly as a particle the size of a bacterial cell. Ddx4 molecules form a network of interactions on phase separation, providing an alternative environment to that found in membrane-encapsulated organelles.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
