DARUMA: a gateway to fast and easy prediction of intrinsically disordered regions [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ Computer Science
Background Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are proteins that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), which lack stable three-dimensional structures under physiological conditions.

Abelson kinase’s intrinsically disordered region plays essential roles in protein function and protein stability

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2021
Background The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Abelson (Abl) is a key player in oncogenesis, with kinase inhibitors serving as paradigms of targeted therapy.

Entropy and Information within Intrinsically Disordered Protein Regions [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
Bioinformatics and biophysical studies of intrinsically disordered proteins and regions (IDRs) note the high entropy at individual sequence positions and in conformations sampled in solution. This prevents application of the canonical sequence-structure-function paradigm to IDRs and motivates the development of new methods to extract information from ...

Order, Disorder, and Everything in Between

open access: yesMolecules, 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)

The intrinsically disordered region of coronins fine-tunes oligomerization and actin polymerization

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Coronins play critical roles in actin network formation. The diverse functions of coronins are regulated by the structured N-terminal β propeller and the C-terminal coiled coil (CC).

Large extent of disorder in Adenomatous Polyposis Coli offers a strategy to guard Wnt signalling against point mutations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Mutations in the central region of the signalling hub Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) cause colorectal tumourigenesis. The structure of this region remained unknown.

Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins with Pathogenic Repeat Expansions

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
Intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions have been shown to be highly prevalent in disease. Furthermore, disease-causing expansions of the regions containing tandem amino acid repeats often push repetitive ...

DisoMCS: Accurately Predicting Protein Intrinsically Disordered Regions Using a Multi-Class Conservative Score Approach. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The precise prediction of protein intrinsically disordered regions, which play a crucial role in biological procedures, is a necessary prerequisite to further the understanding of the principles and mechanisms of protein function.
