The formation of cellular condensates, akin to membraneless organelles, is typically mediated by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), during which proteins and RNA molecules interact with each other via multivalent interactions. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these interactions holds significance in unraveling the mechanisms underlying condensate formation and the pathology of related diseases. In an attempt toward this end, fluorescence microscopy is often used to examine the colocalization of target proteins/RNAs. However, fluorescence colocalization is inadequate to reliably identify protein interaction due to the diffraction limit of traditional fluorescence microscopy. In this study, we achieve this goal through adopting a novel chemical biology approach via the dimerization-dependent fluorescent proteins (ddFPs). We succeeded in utilizing ddFPs to detect protein interaction during LLPS both in vitro and in living cells. The ddFPs allow us to investigate the interaction between two important LLPS-associated proteins, FUS and TDP-43, as cellular condensates formed. Importantly, we revealed that their interaction was associated with RNA binding upon LLPS, indicating that RNA plays a critical role in mediating interactions between RBPs. More broadly, we envision that utilization of ddFPs would reveal previously unknown protein-protein interaction and uncover their functional roles in the formation and disassembly of biomolecular condensates.
