Extended Data Fig. 7. IAP RNA facilitates droplet formation of transcriptional activators in vitro.

Extended Data Fig. 7

a. IAP RNA facilitates RNAPII CTD droplet formation in vitro. Displayed are representative images of droplet formation by purified RNAPII CTD-mCherry fusion proteins in the presence of in vitro transcribed IAP RNA fragments. Scale bar: 10 μm. b. IAP RNA facilitates MED1 IDR droplet formation in vitro. Displayed are representative images of droplet formation by purified MED1 IDR-mCherry fusion proteins in the presence of in vitro-transcribed IAP RNA. c. Partitioning ratio of MED1 IDR-mCherry into droplets at the indicated IAP RNA concentrations. Every dot represents a detected droplet. Data for the quantification was acquired from at least five images of two independent image series per condition. P value is a from a two-tailed t test. d. IAP RNA is enriched within MED1 IDR droplets. Displayed are representative images of the enrichment of fluorescein-labeled IAP RNA in MED1 IDR-mCherry droplets. e. Quantification of the enrichment of fluorescein-labeled IAP RNA in MED1 IDR-mCherry droplets. Data for the quantification was acquired from at least five images of two independent image series per condition. P value is from a two-tailed t test. f. (left) Schematic model of the heterotrimeric NFY transcription factor. (right) Graphs plotting intrinsic disorder in the NFYA, NFYB and NFYC proteins. The NFYC-IDR cloned for subsequent experiments is highlighted with a blue bar. g. Concentration-dependent droplet formation by purified recombinant NFYC IDR-mEGFP. Scale bar: 10 μm. h. Representative images of droplet formation by purified NFYC IDR-mEGFP and MED1 IDR-mCherry fusion proteins. MED1 IDR-mCherry mixed with purified mGFP is included as a control. Scale bar: 10 μm. i. Partitioning ratio of NFYC IDR-mEGFP or mEGFP in MED1 IDR-mCherry droplets. Every dot represents a detected droplet. Data for the quantification was acquired from at least five images of two independent image series per condition. P value is a from a two-tailed t test.
