Abstract
The functional amyloid Orb2 belongs to the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding (CPEB) protein family and plays an important role in long-term memory formation in Drosophila. The Orb2 domain structure combines RNA recognition motifs with low-complexity sequences similar to many RNA-binding proteins shown to form protein droplets via liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vivo and in vitro. This similarity suggests that Orb2 might also undergo LLPS. However, cellular Orb2 puncta have very little internal protein mobility, and Orb2 forms fibrils in Drosophila brains that are functionally active indicating that LLPS might not play a role for Orb2. In the present work, we reconcile these two views on Orb2 droplet formation. Using fluorescence microscopy, we show that soluble Orb2 can indeed phase separate into protein droplets. However, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) data shows that these droplets have either no or only an extremely short-lived liquid phase and appear maturated right after formation. Orb2 fragments that lack the C-terminal RNA-binding domain (RBD) form fibrils out of these droplets. Solid-state NMR shows that these fibrils have well-ordered static domains in addition to the Gln/His-rich fibril core. Further, we find that full-length Orb2B, which is by far the major component of Orb2 fibrils in vivo, does not transition into fibrils but remains in the droplet phase. Together, our data suggest that phase separation might play a role in initiating the formation of functional Orb2 fibrils.

Orb2 is a cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding (CPEB) protein that can form functional cross-β (amyloid) fibrils with a regulatory role for long-term memory (LTM) formation in Drosophila (1Si K. Kandel E.R. The role of functional prion-like proteins in the persistence of memory.Cold Spring Harb. Perspect. Biol. 2016; 8a021774Crossref PubMed Scopus (69) Google Scholar). In its monomeric form, it promotes the deadenylation of target messenger mRNA. When aggregating into cross-β fibrils, it becomes an activator of the polyadenylation and thereby the translation of mRNAs resulting in a stabilization of memories past 48 h (2Keleman K. Krüttner S.

Orb2 has two isoforms, Orb2A and Orb2B, which both share two C-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), a C-terminal zinc finger, a central Gly-rich region, and a Gln/His-rich domain that forms the core of Orb2 fibrils (see Fig. 1) (2Keleman K.

Hervás and coworkers recently determined the structure of the Orb2 fibril core, which is located in the Gln/His-domain, using cryo-EM (6Hervás R. Murzin A.G. Si K.

The domain structure of Orb2 that combines low-complexity sequences with RNA-binding domains (RBDs) is reminiscent of a whole class of RNA-binding proteins, such as fused in sarcoma (FUS), that are able to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) (10King O.D.
