Method to Purify Phase-Separated p62 Bodies Using Fluorescence-Activated Particle Sorting

p62 bodies are ubiquitin-positive cytoplasmic condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation. They are targeted by selective autophagy and play important roles in intracellular quality control and stress responses. However, little is known about their constituents. In this chapter, we describe a method for purifying p62 bodies using fluorescence-activated particle sorting. This method contributes to the identification of novel components of p62 bodies under various physiological and stress conditions.
