Fig. 8. A schematic diagram showing an active function of Lsm7 phase separation in regulating SG formation under 2-DG treatment.

Fig. 8

a Prior to stress treatment, Lsm7-GFP and Pab1-RFP are diffusely distributed in the cytosol. b Upon 2-DG treatment, Lsm7 quickly phase separates, creating condensates in conjunction with available RNA and supported by PB components. c Pab1 is recruited and starts to demix, aided by PBs and/or specific PB components. The subsequent SGs associate on the side of the Lsm7 condensates. d Over time SGs increase in size whereas the Lsm7 condensates remain similar in size. e Lsm7 condensates might not be needed for maintenance of already formed SGs, and SG core maturation. Hence, it might be that Lsm7 condensates and SGs dissociate (indicated by dotted arrows). Created with BioRender.com.
