Unequivocal Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins [PDF]

, 2012
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are predicted to represent about one third of the eukaryotic proteome. The dynamic ensemble of conformations of this steadily growing class of proteins has remained hardly accessible for bulk biophysical ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS 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 ...

New technologies to analyse protein function: an intrinsic disorder perspective [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2020
Functions of intrinsically disordered proteins do not require structure. Such structure-independent functionality has melted away the classic rigid “lock and key” representation of structure–function relationships in proteins, opening a new page in ...

Intrinsic disorder in the open reading frame 2 of hepatitis E virus: a protein with multiple functions beyond viral capsid

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the cause of a liver disease hepatitis E. The translation product of HEV ORF2 has recently been demonstrated as a protein involved in multiple functions besides performing its major role of a viral capsid.

Empirical predictions of an intrinsically disordered protein theory approach to glycan/lectin reaction kinetics [PDF]

, 2012
Newly-developed methods from the theory of intrinsically disordered proteins can be applied to the flexible glycan structures that coat cellular surfaces and provide rich channels for biological information transmission.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Intrinsically Disordered Regions Can Contribute Promiscuous Interactions to RNP Granule Assembly

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Eukaryotic cells contain large RNA-protein assemblies referred to as RNP granules, whose assembly is promoted by both traditional protein interactions and intrinsically disordered protein domains.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Ubiquitin Interacting Motifs: Duality Between Structured and Disordered Motifs

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Ubiquitin is a small protein at the heart of many cellular processes, and several different protein domains are known to recognize and bind ubiquitin. A common motif for interaction with ubiquitin is the Ubiquitin Interacting Motif (UIM), characterized ...

Enhancing Binding Affinity of an Intrinsically Disordered Protein by α-Methylation of Key Amino Acid Residues [PDF]

, 2019
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which undergo folding upon binding to their targets, are critical players in protein interaction networks.
