The RNA-binding protein TDP-43 forms intranuclear or cytoplasmic aggregates in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Here we show that RNA-binding deficient TDP-43 (produced by neurodegeneration-causing mutations or post-translational acetylation in its RNA recognition motifs) drove TDP-43 de-mixing into intranuclear liquid spherical shells with liquid cores. We proposed the name anisosomes for these droplets, whose shells exhibited birefringence, evidence of liquid crystal formation. Guided by mathematical modeling, we identified the major components of the liquid core to be HSP70 family chaperones, whose ATP-dependent activity maintained the liquidity of shells and cores. In vivo proteasome inhibition within neurons, to mimic aging-related reduction of proteasome activity, induced TDP-43-containing spherical shells, which converted into aggregates when ATP levels were reduced. Thus, acetylation, HSP70, and proteasome activities regulate TDP-43 phase separation and conversion into a gel/solid phase. Aggregation of the RNA binding protein TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) is a common pathological hallmark shared by several age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The predominantly nuclear TDP-43 normally undergoes Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS), in which a homogenous solution separates in two compartments resembling oil droplets in vinegar. Intranuclear TDP-43 can phase separate under physiological conditions. Cellular stress can induce cytoplasmic TDP-43 liquid droplets, which can transition to a solid state, suggesting that TDP-43 aggregation observed in neurodegeneration could be initiated by LLPS. Mechanisms driving phase separation and aggregation were not known. We identified key regulatory mechanisms of TDP-43 phase separation in cultured cells and in neurons in the rodent nervous system. We found that RNA-binding deficient TDP-43, produced by ALS/FTD-causing mutations or post-translational acetylation in its RNA recognition motifs, phase-separated into anisosomes, droplets with symmetrical liquid spherical shells and liquid cores. RNA-free TDP-43 was found to be enriched in anisosomal shells at concentrations 50-fold higher than surrounding nucleoplasm. Acetylation promoted anisosomal formation by abolishing RNA interaction with TDP-43. Anisosomal shells exhibited birefringence, evidence of a liquid crystal compartment formed from proteins within living cells. Shells were densely packed, as determined with cryo-electron tomography, producing a membraneless, selective barrier to some nuclear proteins and RNAs. Our mathematical modeling predicted that anisosomes were driven by a core component that self-interacted, weakly bound TDP-43, and did not bind RNA. Guided by this, we used proximity labeling and quantitative proteomics to identify HSP70 chaperones as the major anisosomal core components. HSP70 chaperones selectively bound to and stabilized RNA-unbound TDP-43. Inhibiting ATP-dependent chaperone activity of the HSP70 family or reducing cellular ATP levels induced rapid conversion of TDP-43 anisosomes into uniform gels. Transient proteasome inhibition, mimicking the known reduction in proteasome activity during aging, provoked TDP-43 de-mixing into anisosomes in neurons in rodents. Postmortem ATP reduction was sufficient to convert anisosomes into aggregates similar to those found in neurodegenerative disease. We identified how phase separation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 can be regulated through RNA binding, disease-causing mutation, post-translational modification, or chaperone activity inside cells. RNA binding deficient TDP-43 de-mixed into anisosomes whose cores were a “liquid-inside-a-liquid-inside-a-liquid”. Chaperone activity of the HSP70 family was required to maintain liquidity of anisosomal shells and cores. When ATP levels fell, anisosomes converted into protein aggregates, consistent with being precursors of the pathological aggregates found in patient brain tissues. These findings suggest an essential partnership between TDP-43 and HSP70 chaperones in driving RNA-unbound TDP-43 phase separation into anisosomes and preventing TDP-43 aggregation.
