<span style="font-size: 13px;" class=""><b class="">Abstract</b>: Phase separation of biological molecules has emerged as a key mechanism by which cells organize their components. Investigating the physical principles by which these biomolecular condensates
facilitate cellular functions, which are generically out-of-equilibrium, remains a grand challenge at the intersection of statistical physics and cell biology. The inherent complexity of biological systems has posed a significant obstacle to conceptual progress
in this field. We leverage the algal pyrenoid—an experimentally tractable condensate responsible for 30% of global CO2 fixation—as a powerful model system. Notably, during cell division, the pyrenoid, consisting of the CO2 -fixing enzyme Rubisco and the linker
protein EPYC1, undergoes rapid dissolution and recondensation. We identify a kinase, KEY1, that regulates pyrenoid dissolution and proves to be essential for maintaining pyrenoid number, size, and function. We develop a minimal mathematical model of kinase
activity that recapitulates the dynamic behaviors seen in vivo and suggests how molecular fluxes driven by kinase activity can robustly control condensate formation and localization.</span></p>
