Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Chronic Diseases
Biomolecules, 2019 It is now increasingly evident that a large fraction of the human proteome comprises proteins that, under physiological conditions, lack fixed, ordered 3D structures as a whole or have segments that are not likely to form a defined 3D structure [...]

Self‐recognition by an intrinsically disordered protein [PDF]
FEBS 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 ...

Targeting Intrinsically Disordered Proteins through Dynamic Interactions
Biomolecules, 2020 Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are over-represented in major disease pathways and have attracted significant interest in understanding if and how they may be targeted using small molecules for therapeutic purposes.

Functionally Relevant Macromolecular Interactions of Disordered Proteins [PDF]
, 2020 Disordered proteins are relatively recent newcomers in protein science. They were first described in detail by Wright and Dyson, in their J. Mol. Biol. paper in 1999.

Frontiers 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
Frontiers 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
Biomolecules, 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.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Biophysical 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.

Function, Regulation, and Dysfunction of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Life, 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 [...]

The N-terminal intrinsically disordered domain of mgm101p is localized to the mitochondrial nucleoid. [PDF]
, 2013 The mitochondrial genome maintenance gene, MGM101, is essential for yeasts that depend on mitochondrial DNA replication. Previously, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been found that the carboxy-terminal two-thirds of Mgm101p has a functional core ...
