Abstract
Cytoplasm in living cells maintains a defined spatial organization. This crowded environment is thought to broadly affect the reaction kinetics of cellular processes, such as signal transduction. However, the extent to which cytoplasmic organization influences the dynamics of cytoplasmic proteins is unclear. Here, we used Xenopus laevis egg extracts as a model system to characterize reactions in organized versus disorganized cytoplasm. Such undiluted extracts are initially disorganized, and self-organize into cell-like units.
