Generating Ensembles of Dynamic Misfolding Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The early stages of protein misfolding and aggregation involve disordered and partially folded protein conformers that contain a high degree of dynamic disorder.

Intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions in neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesBiophysical Reviews, 2022
Many different intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. These types of proteins including amyloid-β, tau, α-synuclein, CHCHD2, CHCHD10, and G-protein coupled receptors are increasingly becoming evaluated as potential drug targets in the pharmaceutical-based ...

Introducing Protein Intrinsic Disorder [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Reviews, 2014
Central to this model is the notion that the correct shape of the substrate can fit into the active site of the enzyme for enabling an efficient and specific catalysis, as observed for enzymes that hydrolyze β-but not α-glycosidic bonds. 1 Throughout the 20 th century, tens of thousands of structures have been solved and deposited in the Protein Data ...

Transient Unfolding and Long-Range Interactions in Viral BCL2 M11 Enable Binding to the BECN1 BH3 Domain

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Viral BCL2 proteins (vBCL2s) help to sustain chronic infection of host proteins to inhibit apoptosis and autophagy. However, details of conformational changes in vBCL2s that enable binding to BH3Ds remain unknown.

NMR illuminates intrinsic disorder. [PDF]

open access: yesCurr Opin Struct Biol, 2021
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has long been instrumental in the characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). This method continues to offer rich insights into the nature of IDPs in solution, especially in combination with other biophysical methods such as small-angle scattering, single ...

CAID prediction portal: a comprehensive service for predicting intrinsic disorder and binding regions in proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Res, 2023
Intrinsic disorder (ID) in proteins is well-established in structural biology, with increasing evidence for its involvement in essential biological processes.

Protein flexibility and intrinsic disorder [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Science, 2004
AbstractComparisons were made among four categories of protein flexibility: (1) low‐B‐factor ordered regions, (2) high‐B‐factor ordered regions, (3) short disordered regions, and (4) long disordered regions. Amino acid compositions of the four categories were found to be significantly different from each other, with high‐B‐factor ordered and short ...

Databases for intrinsically disordered proteins [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D Structural Biology, 2022
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) lacking a fixed three-dimensional protein structure are widespread and play a central role in cell regulation. Only a small fraction of IDRs have been functionally characterized, with heterogeneous experimental evidence that is largely buried in the literature.

IndiSPENsable for X Chromosome Inactivation and Gene Silencing

open access: yesEpigenomes, 2023
For about 30 years, SPEN has been the subject of research in many different fields due to its variety of functions and its conservation throughout a wide spectrum of species, like worms, arthropods, and vertebrates.
