We reconstitute a phosphotyrosine-mediated protein condensation phase transition of the [~]200 residue cytoplasmic tail of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the adaptor protein, Grb2, on a membrane surface. The phase transition depends on phosphorylation of the EGFR tail, which recruits Grb2, and the dimerization of Grb2, which provides the crosslinking element for condensation with EGFR. The Grb2 Y160 residue plays a structurally critical role in dimer formation, and phosphorylation or mutation of Y160 prevents EGFR:Grb2 condensation. By extending the reconstitution experiment to include the guanine nucleotide exchange factor, SOS, and its substrate Ras, we further find that EGFR condensation controls the ability of SOS to activate Ras. These results identify an EGFR:Grb2 protein condensation phase transition as a regulator of signal propagation from EGFR to the MAPK pathway.
