Constitutive PB formation upon Pat1 overexpression is Dhh1 dependent. 

(A) Overexpression (OE) of Pat1 leads to constitutive PB formation but only in the presence of Dhh1. Cells co-expressing the indicated PB components were grown in synthetic complete (SC) raffinose media to exponential growth phase after which Pat1 was overexpressed via addition of galactose. Cells in both raffinose and galactose were observed by fluorescence microscopy. In all Pat1 OE strains the endogenous promoter of Pat1 was replaced by the galactose 1–10 promoter (p-GAL-PAT1). Scale bar: 5 µm. (B) Quantification of images in A depicting number of PBs/cell. N = 3 biological replicates with >800 cells/replicate. Error bars: SEM. (C) Pat1-NC (AA 5–79 + 456–587) is functional in vivo. Cartoon of the Pat1-NC construct (see text for details). (D) PAT1-NC induces PB formation upon stress in vivo. Cells co-expressing the indicated the PB components in PAT1 full length or PAT1-NC background were grown in synthetic complete (SCD) media to exponential growth phase then shifted to glucose-rich or glucose-starvation conditions for 30 min and observed by fluorescence microscopy. PBs induced in the PAT1-NC background were dissolved by addition of 2% glucose demonstrating reversibility. Scale bar: 5 µm. (E) Quantification of images shown in A depicting number of PBs/cell. Bars: SEM. N = 3 biological replicates with >800 cells/replicate. (F) PAT1-NC (AA 5–79 + 456–587) OE leads to constitutive PB induction. p(GAL)-PAT1 or p(GAL)-PAT1-NC cells expressing Dhh1-GFP were grown in SC raffinose media to exponential growth phase after which Pat1 OE was induced with galactose. Scale bar: 5 µm. (G) Graph depicts Dhh1 PBs/cell, SEM. N = 3 biological replicates with >800 cells/replicate. [Diatrack 3.05 and cell segmentation using in house Matlab code was used for the quantification of PB and cell numbers respectively for all the experiments shown in the manuscript].

Controls for Pat1 OE related to Figure 1 and growth rescue experiments of Pat1-NC.

(A) Controls for the Pat1 OE, relating to Figure 1. Upper panel: PAT1 (endogenous promoter) cells expressing Dhh1-GFP were grown in (SC) raffinose media to exponential growth phase after which galactose was added and cells were imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Lower Panel: p(GAL)-HA pat1Δ (Hemagglutinin tag) OE does not lead to constitutive PB formation. Scale bar: 5 µm. (B) PAT1-NC rescues the pat1Δ growth phenotype. PAT1, pat1Δ and PAT1-NC cells were grown overnight in SCD media to saturation and the next day the different strains were inoculated to OD 0.1 in SCD. Absorbance based growth measurements were recorded for 24 hrs. The growth curve depicts O.D. 600 nm versus time. (C) PAT1-NC rescues the thermosensitive growth phenotype of pat1Δ. Cells expressing PAT1-NC, PAT1 and cells lacking PAT1 were grown to saturation in SCD media overnight and the next day spotted on YPD plates at the indicated temperatures. Growth was monitored after 2–3 days of incubation. The phenotype was confirmed with three biological replicates. (D) PAT1-NC fully rescues the growth phenotype in pat1Δ edc3Δ scd6Δ cells at 37°C. Cells expressing PAT1 edc3Δ scd6Δ, pat1Δ edc3Δ scd6Δ and PAT1-NC edc3Δ scd6Δ were grown to saturation in SCD media overnight and the next day spotted on YPD plates at the indicated temperatures. Growth was monitored after 2–3 days of incubation. The phenotype was confirmed with three biological replicates. (E) Pat1-NC localizes to PBs upon stress in vivo. Cells co-expressing Pat1-NC-GFP and Dcp2-mCherry as an additional PB marker were grown in SCD media to exponential growth phase then shifted to glucose-rich or glucose-starvation conditions for 30 min and observed by fluorescence microscopy. After visualization 2% final concentration of glucose was added for one hour to demonstrate reversibility and dissolution of Pat1-NC PBs. Scale bar: 5 µm.

Pat1 WT but not Pat14A-Dhh1/EE mutant enhances the phase separation of Dhh1 and RNA in vitro.

(A) 4 µM Dhh1-mCherry was mixed with 3.2 mM ATP and 0.2 mg/ml polyU as RNA-analog in a 150 mM KCl buffer. Pat1-NC-GFP and mutants thereof were added in increasing concentrations, as indicated. mCherry and GFP intensities are scaled identically in all images displayed. Representative images, scale bar 25 µm.

Pat1 does not slow down the ATPase cycle of Dhh1.

(A) Pat1 does not inhibit the Not1MIF4G-stimulatd ATPase activity of Dhh1. ATPase reactions were performed under saturating concentrations of polyU using a Not1MIF4G concentration that stimulates Dhh1 to 0.75 Vmax. Pat1 was added to either 2- and 6-fold excess over Not1. Three biological replicates (each of three technical replicates); mean and standard deviation of kcat values. The values are corrected for blank (that is Pat1 alone or Not1 alone). P values are obtained from a two-tailed t-test. (B) Pat1 OE PBs are more dynamic than the Dhh1DQAD PBs. Cells expressing Dcp2-mCherry in the p(GAL)-PAT1 OE strain were grown in (SC) raffinose to exponential growth phase after which galactose was added to 2% final concentration for 2 hr to induce PBs. Then the cells were treated with 50 µg/ml cycloheximide (CHX) and disappearance of Dcp2-mCherry PBs per cell was monitored for 90 min by fluorescence microscopy. In order to study PB dynamics in the DHH1 and dhh1 DQAD background cells were grown as described before except PBs were induced by carbon starvation and their disassembly monitored by CHX. Each time point shows a representative image. (C) The graph shows the foci number per cell measurements for Dcp2-mCherry normalized to one to account for differences in PB formation under different PB induction conditions. Scale bar: 5 µm. N = 2 biological replicates with >200 cells counted per experiments. Error bars: SD.

PB formation was visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Graph depicts the ratio of Dhh1: Pat1 in PBs in vivo. N = 3 biological replicates, SEM. (B) Calibration curves to determine the protein concentration of Dhh1-mCherry and Pat1-NC-GFP within the droplets: the fluorescence intensity of homogeneous solutions of the respective proteins was measured at different protein concentrations (blue circles). The unknown protein concentration was determined by linear fitting of this calibration curve (violet circle). Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of phase-separated droplets of Dhh1-mCherry in the absence and presence of Pat1-GFP are shown. Scale bar: 20 µM. (C) Tug-of-war model between Pat1 and Not1 to regulate PB dynamics. Model depicting three inputs that cooperatively regulate PB formation. The solid black arrows on the left show interaction between the Pat1 N-terminus with the RecA2 core of Dhh1, Pat1 C-terminus with RNA, Dhh1 interaction with RNA and potential Dhh1-Dhh1 interactions via low-complexity unstructured tails. The dotted grey arrows on the right demonstrate multivalent interactions in a PB driven by the LLPS of Dhh1 and RNA (a process enhanced by Pat1). Colors: green: inputs that promote PB assembly, red factors that negatively regulate PB formation. Violet: Dhh1, light green: Pat1-NC, blue: RNA.

(A) Images of the Pat1-GFP and Dhh1-GFP stoichiometry. Cells expressing Pat1-GFP and Dhh1-GFP were grown in SCD media to exponential growth phase then shifted to glucose-starvation conditions for different time points as indicated and PBs were imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Images are representative for each times. Scale: 5 µM. (B) Dhh1-GFP and Pat1-GFP expressing cells (used for imaging in A) were grown in SCD media to exponential growth phase and protein levels were measured using Western blot with an anti-GFP antibody. Hexokinase was used as a loading control. The graph depicts the expression levels of Dhh1 and Pat1 normalized to the loading control. (C) Size distributions of in vitro assembled Dhh1 and Pat1 LLPS droplets (relating to Figure 6B). In presence of Pat1, the droplet size increases and the size distribution shifts to larger radii. Moreover, the number of droplets decreases, thereby indicating that the droplets have higher propensity to fuse in presence of Pat1. Scale bar: 20 µm.
