What determines the specificity of DDR protein recruitment to dilncRNA-induced condensates?

While the study shows 53BP1 forms phase-separated foci driven by dilncRNAs, it's unclear what molecular features determine which DDR proteins are selectively recruited versus excluded from these condensates. This selectivity mechanism could be relevant to protein aggregation diseases where specific proteins aberrantly phase separate.
