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.

On the Origins of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2010
A large number of proteins are sufficiently unstable that their full three dimensional structure cannot be resolved. The origins of this intrinsic disorder are not well understood, but its ubiquitous presence undercuts the principle that a protein's structure determines its function.

DisBind: A database of classified functional binding sites in disordered and structured regions of intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Intrinsically unstructured or disordered proteins function via interacting with other molecules. Annotation of these binding sites is the first step for mapping functional impact of genetic variants in coding regions of human and other genomes,

Evolutionary Study of Disorder in Protein Sequences

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) contain regions lacking intrinsic globular structure (intrinsically disordered regions, IDRs). IDPs are present across the tree of life, with great variability of IDR type and frequency even between closely ...

How multisite phosphorylation impacts the conformations of intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesPLoS Comput. Biol., 2021
Phosphorylation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can produce changes in structural and dynamical properties and thereby mediate critical biological functions.

Intrinsically disordered proteins and biomineralization [PDF]

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2016
In vertebrates and invertebrates, biomineralization is controlled by the cell and the proteins they produce. A large number of these proteins are intrinsically disordered, gaining some secondary structure when they interact with their binding partners.

Open questions: Reflections on intrinsically disordered proteins [PDF]

open access: yesNetwork Biology, 2021
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins or Regions (IDPs) are proteins that lack a predetermined 3D structure playing key cellular functions including regulation, signaling, and protein-protein/DNA interaction.

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.

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 ...

Roles, Characteristics, and Analysis of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: A Minireview

open access: yesLife, 2020
In recent years, there has been a growing understanding that a significant fraction of the eukaryotic proteome is intrinsically disordered, and that these conformationally dynamic proteins play a myriad of vital biological roles in both normal and ...
