However, the immutable nature of genetic encoding restricts the dynamic adaptability of nanostructures postexpression. To address this, we envisioned using a myristoyl switch, a protein that combines allostery and post-translational modifications─two strategies that modify protein properties without altering their sequence─to regulate intrinsically disordered protein (IDP)-driven nanoassembly. A typical myristoyl switch, allosterically activated by a stimulus, reveals a sequestered lipid for membrane association. We hypothesize that this conditional exposure of lipids can regulate the assembly of fusion proteins, a concept we term \"liposwitching\". We tested this by fusing recoverin, a calcium-dependent myristoyl switch, with elastin-like polypeptide, a thermoresponsive model IDP. Biophysical analyses confirmed recoverin's myristoyl-switch functionality, while dynamic light scattering and cryo-transmission electron microscopy showed distinct calcium- and lipidation-dependent phase separation and assembly. This study highlights liposwitching as a viable strategy for controlling DP-driven nanoassembly, enabling applications in synthetic biology and cellular engineering.</p>","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":"8058-8068"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11632658/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
