Intrinsic disorder in putative protein sequences [PDF]

open access: yesProteome Science, 2011
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and regions (IDRs) perform a variety of crucial biological functions despite lacking stable tertiary structure under physiological conditions in vitro. State-of-the-art sequence-based predictors of intrinsic disorder are achieving per-residue accuracies over 80%.

Calcium-Binding Proteins with Disordered Structure and Their Role in Secretion, Storage, and Cellular Signaling

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2018
Calcium is one of the most important second messengers and its intracellular signaling regulates many aspects of cell physiology. Calcium ions, like phosphate ions, are highly charged and thus are able to alter protein conformation upon binding; thereby ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Unreported Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins: Disorder Emergency Room

open access: yes, 2015
This article continues an “Unreported Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins” series, the goal of which is to expose some interesting cases of missed (or overlooked, or ignored) disorder in proteins.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2016
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) have gained wide recognition due to their versatile roles in cell physiology and pathology. A large repertoire of IDPs has been implicated in numerous diseases, making them potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Self‐recognition by an intrinsically disordered protein [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2008
The intrinsically disordered translocation domain (T‐domain) of the protein antibiotic colicin N binds to periplasmic receptors of target Escherichia coli cells in order to penetrate their inner membranes. We report here that the specific 27 consecutive residues of the T‐domain of colicin N known to bind to the helper protein TolA in target cells also ...

Dual-Family Peptidylprolyl Isomerases (Immunophilins) of Select Monocellular Organisms

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2018
The dual-family peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) represent a naturally occurring chimera of the classical FK506-binding protein (FKBP) and cyclophilin (CYN), connected by a flexible linker.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Intrinsic disorder in E1B 55K.

open access: yes, 2019
PONDR VLXT, PONDR XL1_XT, PONDR VL3-BA, PONDR VSL2, IUPred and DISOPRED predictors were used for disorder analysis. All predictors indicate a high level of intrinsic disorder in the N- and C-terminus.
