Membraneless organelles (MLOs) are vital and dynamic reaction centers in cells that compartmentalize the cytoplasm in the absence of a membrane. Multivalent interactions between protein low-complexity domains contribute to MLO organization. Previously, we used computational methods to identify structural motifs termed low-complexity amyloid-like reversible kinked segments (LARKS) that promote phase transition to form hydrogels and that are common in human proteins that participate in MLOs. Here, we searched for LARKS in the proteomes of six model organisms: Homo sapiens, Drosophila melanogaster, Plasmodium falciparum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Escherichia coli to gain an understanding of the distribution of LARKS in the proteomes of various species. We found that LARKS are abundant in M. tuberculosis, D. melanogaster, and H. sapiens but not in S. cerevisiae or P. falciparum. LARKS have high glycine content, which enables kinks to form as exemplified by the known LARKS-rich amyloidogenic structures of TDP43, FUS, and hnRNPA2, three proteins that are known to participate in MLOs. These results support the idea of LARKS as an evolved structural motif. Based on these results, we also established the LARKSdb Web server, which permits users to search for LARKS in their protein sequences of interest.
