Fairy tails: Flexibility and function of intrinsically disordered extensions in the photosynthetic world

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2015
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs), or protein fragments also called Intrinsically Disordered Regions (IDRs), display high flexibility as the result of their amino acid composition. They can adopt multiple roles.

Machine-learning analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins identifies key factors that contribute to neurodegeneration-related aggregation

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Protein structure is determined by the amino acid sequence and a variety of post-translational modifications, and provides the basis for physiological properties.

Structural characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins by NMR spectroscopy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent advances in NMR methodology and techniques allow the structural investigation of biomolecules of increasing size with atomic resolution. NMR spectroscopy is especially well-suited for the study of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and ...

NeProc predicts binding segments in intrinsically disordered regions without learning binding region sequences

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2020
Intrinsically disordered proteins are those proteins with intrinsically disordered regions. One of the unique characteristics of intrinsically disordered proteins is the existence of functional segments in intrinsically dis­ordered regions.

Intrinsic disorder in protein interactions: insights from a comprehensive structural analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
We perform a large-scale study of intrinsically disordered regions in proteins and protein complexes using a non-redundant set of hundreds of different protein complexes.

Polycation-π Interactions Are a Driving Force for Molecular Recognition by an Intrinsically Disordered Oncoprotein Family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Molecular recognition by intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) commonly involves specific localized contacts and target-induced disorder to order transitions.

Ordered disorder of the astrocytic dystrophin-associated protein complex in the norm and pathology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The abundance and potential functional roles of intrinsically disordered regions in aquaporin-4, Kir4.1, a dystrophin isoforms Dp71, α-1 syntrophin, and α-dystrobrevin; i.e., proteins constituting the functional core of the astrocytic dystrophin ...

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%.

Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins with Pathogenic Repeat Expansions

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
Intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions have been shown to be highly prevalent in disease. Furthermore, disease-causing expansions of the regions containing tandem amino acid repeats often push repetitive ...

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 ...
