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.

Protein intrinsic disorder in plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
To some extent contradicting the classical paradigm of the relationship between protein 3D structure and function, now it is clear that large portions of the proteomes, especially in higher organisms, lack a fixed structure and still perform very important functions.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins and the Janus Challenge

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2018
To gain a new insight into the role of proteins in the origin of life on Earth, we present the Janus Challenge: identify an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP), naturally occurring or synthetic, that has catalytic activity.

Inferring function using patterns of native disorder in proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Natively unstructured regions are a common feature of eukaryotic proteomes. Between 30% and 60% of proteins are predicted to contain long stretches of disordered residues, and not only have many of these regions been confirmed experimentally, but they ...

Function, Regulation, and Dysfunction of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

open access: yesLife, 2021
The discovery that a considerable fraction of the eukaryotic proteins lacks a well-defined three-dimensional structure in their native state has revolutionised our general understanding of proteins [...]

New insights into disordered proteins and regions according to the FOD-M model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
A collection of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) having regions with the status of intrinsically disordered (IDR) according to the Disprot database was analyzed from the point of view of the structure of hydrophobic core in the structural unit ...

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.

Conformational Recognition of an Intrinsically Disordered Protein [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2014
There is a growing interest in understanding the properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs); however, the characterization of these states remains an open challenge. IDPs appear to have functional roles that diverge from those of folded proteins and revolve around their ability to act as hubs for protein-protein interactions.

Differences in the number of intrinsically disordered regions between yeast duplicated proteins, and their relationship with functional divergence. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Intrinsically disordered regions are enriched in short interaction motifs that play a critical role in many protein-protein interactions. Since new short interaction motifs may easily evolve, they have the potential to rapidly change protein ...

DisProt in 2024: improving function annotation of intrinsically disordered proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
International audienceDisProt (URL: https://disprot.org) is the gold standard database for intrinsically disordered proteins and regions, providing valuable information about their functions. The latest version of DisProt brings significant advancements,
