  • 摘要:SummaryThe Balbiani body (Bb), an organelle comprised of mitochondria, ER, and RNA, is found in the oocytes of most organisms. InXenopus, the structure is initially positioned immediately adjacent to the nucleus, extends toward the vegetal pole, and eventually disperses, leaving behind a region highly enriched in mitochondria. This area is later transversed by RNP complexes that are being localized to the vegetal cortex. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis prevents perinuclear formation of the transport complexes that can be reversed by a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, indicating the nucleotide is acting as a hydrotrope. The protein composition, sensitivity to hexanediol, and coalescence in the absence of transport provide evidence that the transport RNP complexes are biocondensates. The breakdown of the Bb engenders regions of clustered mitochondria that are used not to meet extraordinary energy demands, but rather to promote a liquid-liquid phase separation.Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights•Mitochondria in remnants of the Bb generate locally elevated levels of ATP•Mitochondrial activity needed for formation of RNA transport complexes•Transport complexes are RNP condensates•ATP functions as a hydrotrope to support the LLPS of RNP transport condensatesMolecular biology; Cell biology; Biophysics
