| description | Biomolecular condensates help cells organise their content in space and time. Cells harbour a variety of condensate types with diverse composition and many are likely yet to be discovered. Here, we develop a methodology to predict the composition of biomolecular condensates. We first analyse available proteomics data of cellular condensates and find that the biophysical features that determine protein localisation into condensates differ from known drivers of homotypic phase separation processes, with charge mediated protein-RNA and hydrophobicity mediated protein-protein interactions playing a key role in the former process. We then develop a machine learning model that links protein sequence to its propensity to localise into heteromolecular condensates. We apply the model across the proteome and find many of the top-ranked targets outside the original training data to localise into condensates as confirmed by orthogonal immunohistochemical staining imaging. Finally, we segment the condensation-prone proteome into condensate types based on an overlap with biomolecular interaction profiles to generate a Protein Condensate Atlas. Several condensate clusters within the Atlas closely match the composition of experimentally characterised condensates or regions within them, suggesting that the Atlas can be valuable for identifying additional components within known condensate systems and discovering previously uncharacterised condensates. |
