Poly(ADP-ribose) in Condensates : The PARtnership of Phase Separation and Site-Specific Interactions

Biomolecular condensates are nonmembrane cellular compartments whose formation in many cases involves phase separation (PS). Despite much research interest in this mechanism of macromolecular self-organization, the concept of PS as applied to a live cell faces certain challenges. In this review, we discuss a basic model of PS and the role of site-specific interactions and percolation in cellular PS-related events. Using a multivalent poly(ADP-ribose) molecule as an example, which has high PS-driving potential due to its structural features, we consider how site-specific interactions and network formation are involved in the formation of phase-separated cellular condensates.
