الوصف: The RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS) undergoes liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) both in vivo and in vitro . Self-assembled liquid droplets of FUS transform into reversible hydrogels and into more irreversible and toxic aggregates. Although LLPS can be a precursor of irreversible aggregates, a generic method to study kinetics of the formation of LLPS has not been developed. Here, we demonstrated the pressure-jump kinetics of phase transition between the 1-phase state and FUS-LLPS states observed at low pressure (<2 kbar, LP-LLPS) and high pressure (>2 kbar, HP-LLPS) using high-pressure UV/vis spectroscopy. Absorbance (turbidity) changes were reproduced repeatedly using pressure cycles. The Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov theory was used to understand droplet formation occurring via nucleation and growth. The Avrami exponent n , representing the dimensionality of growing droplets, and the reaction rate constant k were calculated. The HP-LLPS formation rate was ∼2-fold slower than that of LP-LLPS. The Avrami exponent obtained for both LLPS states could be explained by diffusion-limited growth. Nucleation and growth rates decreased during LP-LLPS formation ( n = 0.51), and the nucleation rate decreased with a constant growth rate in HP-LLPS formation ( n = 1.4). The HP-LLPS vanishing rate was ∼20-fold slower than that of LP-LLPS. This difference in vanishing rates indicates a stronger intermolecular interaction in HP-LLPS than in LP-LLPS, which might promote transformation into irreversible aggregates in the droplets. Further, direct transition from HP-LLPS to LP-LLPS was observed. This indicates that interconversion between LP-LLPS and HP-LLPS occurs in equilibrium. Formation of reversible liquid droplets, followed by phase transition into another liquid phase, could thus be part of the physiological maturation process of FUS-LLPS.
