Abstract
Abstract
The formation of biomolecular condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an advantageous strategy for cells to organize subcellular compartments for diverse functions. The involvement of LLPS is more widespread and overrepresented in RNA-related biological processes. This is in part because that RNAs are intrinsically multivalent macromolecules, and the presence of RNAs affects the formation, dissolution, and biophysical properties of biomolecular condensates formed by LLPS. Emerging studies have illustrated how LLPS participates in RNA transcription, splicing, processing, quality control, translation, and function. The interconnected regulation between LLPS and RNAs ensures tight control of RNA-related cellular functions.Keywords: Phase separation,
