Visualizing single-molecule conformational transition and binding dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play crucial roles in cellular processes and hold promise as drug targets. However, the dynamic nature of IDPs remains poorly understood.

Actinidia DRM1--an intrinsically disordered protein whose mRNA expression is inversely correlated with spring budbreak in kiwifruit. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a relatively recently defined class of proteins which, under native conditions, lack a unique tertiary structure whilst maintaining essential biological functions.

Dynamics and interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2023
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widespread in eukaryotes and participate in a variety of important cellular processes. Numerous studies using state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods have advanced our understanding of IDPs and ...

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Design of Different Degrees of Secondary Structure in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2015
In recent experimental studies of coupled folding and binding of IDPs investigators have adapted methods from the protein folding literature whereby point mutations are used to identify the degree to which different regions are pre-folded prior to the rate limiting step in binding and folding. These approaches assume a one-to-one correspondence between

Designing and repurposing drugs to target intrinsically disordered proteins for cancer treatment: using NUPR1 as a paradigm

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not have a well-defined structure, but they have key biological tasks in cancer development. By using the disordered cancer-related protein NUPR1 as a proof-of-concept, we have developed a new multidisciplinary

Diffusing protein binders to intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesNature
Proteins that bind to intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with high affinity and specificity could be useful for therapeutic and diagnostic applications1, 2, 3–4.

Conformational entropy in molecular recognition of intrinsically disordered proteins.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2023
Broad conformational ensembles make intrinsically disordered proteins or regions entropically intriguing. Although methodologically challenging and understudied, emerging studies into their changes in conformational entropy (ΔS°conf) upon complex ...

Downsizing Electrophilic MAX‐Derived Helical Zipper Peptides to Covalently Bind and Degrade Oncogenic MYC

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Oncogenic MYC is a transcription factor that is difficult to inhibit. However, precise positioning of an acrylamide electrophile in MAX to covalently bond to the unique Cys438 in MYC, enabled shortening and optimizing of MAX‐derived, helix‐constrained peptides with high‐affinity and selectivity.

Adenoviral E1A Exploits Flexibility and Disorder to Target Cellular Proteins

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Direct interaction between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is often difficult to characterize hampering the elucidation of their binding mechanism.

Deciphering Mode of Action of Functionally Important Regions in the Intrinsically Disordered Paxillin (Residues 1-313) Using Its Interaction with FAT (Focal Adhesion Targeting Domain of Focal Adhesion Kinase). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play a major role in various cellular functions ranging from transcription to cell migration. Mutations/modifications in such IDPs are shown to be associated with various diseases.
