Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have devised a new experimental approach to explore the time-dependent change in the protein-protein interaction network inside protein droplets, named ‘time-resolved proteomics (TRP)’. The TRP method was applied to the stress granules (SGs) formed in the cells exposed to stress. In this work, we focused on two proteins engaging in SGs, TIA1, and G3BP1, to explore how they change their interacting partner proteins in SGs time-dependently after exposing cells to stresses. In the TRP analyses, we found TIA1 and G3BP changed the interacting partners according to the time after the stress, which may explain the functional regulation of the SGs as membraneless organelles. Our data provide the first observations of how the protein-protein interaction network changes inside droplets time-dependently.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

タンパク質が液液相分離により細胞内に形成する液滴構造は,膜を持たない細胞内小器官として細胞内反応制御に係わる.しかし,200以上のタンパク質・核酸から構成される複雑な液滴構造内部で,どのように機能制御が実現されるかは明らかになっていない.本研究は,液滴構造内部におけるタンパク質間相互作用ネットワークが時間と共に変化する様子を,近接標識法を基にした時分割プロテイミクス法により明らかにした.時間とともに変化するタンパク質間相互作用ネットワークの観測に成功した.時間と共に液滴内部で動的に制御されるタンパク質間相互作用の変化が,ドロップレット内部の機能制御を実現するという新たな機構を明らかにした.
