Publication number: 20230295638Abstract: Provided herein are programmable condensate protein systems and nucleic acid constructs encoding the same. The protein system enables modular targeting of proteins of interest. Protein-peptide interaction domains (PPIDs) are incorporated to functionalize engineered condensates with the attributes of the recruited protein, resulting in a modular system that allows for diverse facile and reprogrammable applications, including in enzyme clustering of metabolic pathways. Colocalizing specific metabolic enzymes in these condensates results in functionalized organelles with which can be used to manipulate the output of engineered metabolic pathways for the production of a pharmaceutical precursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Clifford BRANGWYNNE, José L.
