Proteins containing both intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) and RNA binding domains (RBDs) can phase separate in vitro, forming bodies similar to cellular biomolecular condensates. However, how IDR and RBD domains contribute to in vivo recruitment of proteins to biomolecular condensates remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the roles of IDRs and RBDs in L-bodies, biomolecular condensates present in Xenopus oocytes. We show that a cytoplasmic isoform of hnRNPAB, which contains two RBDs and an IDR, is highly enriched in L-bodies. While both of these domains contribute to hnRNPAB self-association and phase separation in vitro and mediate enrichment into L-bodies in oocytes, neither the RBDs nor the IDR replicate the localization of full-length hnRNPAB. Our results suggest a model where the additive effects of the IDR and RBDs regulate hnRNPAB partitioning into L-bodies. This model likely has widespread applications as proteins containing RBD and IDR domains are common biomolecular condensate residents.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
