Artificial Compartments Encapsulating Enzymatic Reactions: Towards the Construction of Artificial Organelles
Abstract: Cells have used compartmentalization to implement complex biological processes involving thousands of enzyme cascade reactions. Enzymes are spatially organized into the cellular compartments to carry out specific and efficient reactions in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. These compartments are divided into membrane‐bound and membraneless organelles. Mimicking such cellular compartment systems has been a challenge for years. A variety of artificial scaffolds, including liposomes, polymersomes, proteins, nucleic acids, or hybrid materials have been used to construct artificial membrane‐bound or membraneless compartments. These artificial compartments may have great potential for applications in biosynthesis, drug delivery, diagnosis and therapeutics, among others. This review first summarizes the typical examples of cellular compartments. In particular, the recent studies on cellular membraneless organelles (biomolecular condensates) are reviewed. We then summarize the recent advances in the construction of artificial compartments using engineered platforms. Finally, we provide our insights into the construction of biomimetic systems and the applications of these systems. This review article provides a timely summary of the relevant perspectives for the future development of artificial compartments, the building blocks for the construction of artificial organelles or cells.
