Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Fuzzy recognition by the prokaryotic transcription factor HigA2 from Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesNature Communications
Disordered protein sequences can exhibit different binding modes, ranging from well-ordered folding-upon-binding to highly dynamic fuzzy binding. The primary function of the intrinsically disordered region of the antitoxin HigA2 from Vibrio cholerae is ...

Combining a PagP fusion protein system with nickel ion-catalyzed cleavage to produce intrinsically disordered proteins in E. coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Many proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions that are highly solvent-exposed and susceptible to post-translational modifications. Studying these protein segments is critical to understanding their physiologic regulation, but proteolytic ...

The function of intrinsically disordered selenoproteins

open access: yes, 2023
Rozovsky, SharonSELENOS and SELENOK are intrinsically disordered selenoproteins that take part in the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, which degrades misfolded proteins and maintains cellular protein hemostasis.

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

The disordered boundary of the cell: emerging properties of membrane-bound intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2019
We define the disordered boundary of the cell (DBC) as the system formed by membrane tethered intrinsically disordered protein regions, dynamically coupled to the underlying membrane.

Self-Assembling Micelles Based on an Intrinsically Disordered Protein Domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Herein, we describe a new series of fusion proteins that have been developed to self-assemble spontaneously into stable micelles that are 27 nm in diameter after enzymatic cleavage of a solubilizing protein tag. The sequences of the proteins are based on

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2013
In the same way that neither a messy lab bench nor a clean one is a reliable indicator of a researcher’s productivity, a protein’s function cannot be judged solely on the basis of its neatly folded and stable domains. As evidenced by recent work discussed in this Select, we are learning that intrinsically disordered regions feature in many of the cell ...
