Functional Implications of Dynamic Structures of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Revealed by High-Speed AFM Imaging

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The unique functions of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) depend on their dynamic protean structure that often eludes analysis. High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) can conduct this difficult analysis by directly visualizing individual IDP ...

Improved predictions of phase behaviour of intrinsically disordered proteins by tuning the interaction range

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
The formation and viscoelastic properties of condensates of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is dictated by amino acid sequence and solution conditions.

Illuminating Intrinsically Disordered Proteins with Integrative Structural Biology

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Intense study of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) did not begin in earnest until the late 1990s when a few groups, working independently, convinced the community that these ‘weird’ proteins could have important functions.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Wrecked regulation of intrinsically disordered proteins in diseases: Pathogenicity of deregulated regulators

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2014
Biologically active proteins without stable tertiary structure are common in all known proteomes. Functions of these intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are typically related to regulation, signaling and control.

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Hydrodynamic Radii of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Determined from Experimental Polyproline II Propensities. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2016
The properties of disordered proteins are thought to depend on intrinsic conformational propensities for polyproline II (PPII) structure. While intrinsic PPII propensities have been measured for the common biological amino acids in short peptides, the ...

Orchestrating vesicular and nonvesicular membrane dynamics by intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesEMBO Reports, 2023
Compartmentalization by membranes is a common feature of eukaryotic cells and serves to spatiotemporally confine biochemical reactions to control physiology.

Determining accurate conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins at atomic resolution

open access: yesNature Communications
Determining accurate atomic resolution conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is extremely challenging. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide atomistic conformational ensembles of IDPs, but their accuracy is highly ...

Salient Features of Monomeric Alpha-Synuclein Revealed by NMR Spectroscopy

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Elucidating the structural details of proteins is highly valuable and important for the proper understanding of protein function. In the case of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), however, obtaining the structural details is quite challenging, as ...
