Proteins of generalist and specialist pathogens differ in their amino acid composition
Life Science Alliance, 2018 Primitive amino acids and disorder content in secreted proteins are distinctively enriched in generalist compared with host-specific pathogens. Pathogens differ in their host specificities, with species infecting a unique host (specialist pathogens) and ...

Entropy, 2019 We propose a framework to convert the protein intrinsic disorder content to structural entropy (H) using Shannon’s information theory (IT). The structural capacity (C), which is the sum of H and structural information (I), is equal to the amino acid ...

Order, Disorder, and Everything in Between
Molecules, 2016 In addition to the “traditional” proteins characterized by the unique crystal-like structures needed for unique functions, it is increasingly recognized that many proteins or protein regions (collectively known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs)

Evolutionarily conserved network properties of intrinsically disordered proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a stable tertiary structure in isolation. Remarkably, however, a substantial portion of IDPs undergo disorder-to-order transitions upon binding to their cognate partners.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins [PDF]
Cell, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
