Biomolecular condensation is emerging as a thermo-sensing mechanism, but the underlying molecular basis remains elusive. Here we show that an intrinsically disordered protein FUST1 senses heat via its condensation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Heat-dependent condensation of FUST1 is primarily determined by its prion-like domain (PrLD). All-atom molecular dynamics simulation and experimental validation reveal that PrLD encodes a thermo-switch, experiencing lock-to-open conformational changes that control the intermolecular contacts. FUST1 interacts with integral stress granule (SG) components and localizes in the SGs. Importantly, FUST1 condensation is autonomous and precedes condensation of several known SG markers and is indispensable for SG assembly. Loss of FUST1 significantly delays SG assembly and impairs both basal and acquired heat tolerance. These findings illuminate the molecular basis for thermo-sensing by biomolecular condensation and shed light on the molecular mechanism of heat stress granule assembly.","PeriodicalId":9926,"journal":{"name":"Cell Research","volume":"35 7","pages":"483-496"},"PeriodicalIF":25.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41422-025-01125-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its potential role in disease diagnosis has yet to be fully explored. Here we analyzed DNA remnants in mature red blood cells (rbcDNA) from both healthy individuals and cancer patients. Our study unveiled distinct genomic profiles in rbcDNA from cancer patients with early-stage solid tumors compared to those of healthy donors. Significant changes in read counts at specific genomic regions within rbcDNA were identified in patients, which were termed tumor-associated rbcDNA features. These features demonstrated potential for highly accurate early-stage cancer detection, proposing a novel approach for cancer detection. Moreover, tumor-associated rbcDNA features were observed in tumor mouse models, with some features being conserved between mice and humans. Chronic, but not transient, up-regulation of interleukin-18 is essential for the development of these features by promoting DNA damage in bone marrow hematopoietic cells through the up-regulation of NR4A1. These results underscore the remote regulation of chromosomal stability in hematopoietic cells by solid tumors and propose tumor-associated rbcDNA features as a promising strategy for early cancer detection.","PeriodicalId":9926,"journal":{"name":"Cell Research","volume":"35 8","pages":"568-587"},"PeriodicalIF":25.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143926856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
