Fig. 5: Granules act as protein capacitors.

a Boxplots depicting ratio between granule protein fluorescence and median burst amplitude, providing a measure of the protein content inside the granules. b Boxplots depicting ratio between granule slncRNA fluorescence and mean burst amplitude providing a measure of the slncRNA content inside the granules. c Rate of net slncRNA loss for each granule type, showing a difference in trend between class I and class II slncRNA. d Boxplots depicting burst amplitudes measured from granules with different ratios of protein to slncRNA. Granules formed with ratio of 10:1 and 100:1 appear to have similar amplitudes, indicating slncRNA binding saturation. e Boxplots depicting distributions of durations between an entry event (green), and durations between shedding events (red), measured from granules with different ratios of protein to slncRNA. In (a, b, d, e) On each box, the central mark indicates the median, and the bottom and top edges of the box indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The value for ‘Whisker’ corresponds to ±1.5 IQR (interquartile rate) and extends to the adjacent value, which is the most extreme data value that is not an outlier. The outliers are plotted individually as plus signs. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
