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.

Association/dissociation Mechanisms of Intrinsically Disordered Region of Protein Beyond Conformational Selection and Induced Fit [PDF]

, 2019
We investigate association and dissociation mechanisms of a typical intrinsically disordered region (IDR), transcriptional activation subdomain of tumor repressor protein p53 (TAD-p53) with murine double-minute clone 2 protein (MDM2).

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

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]

PLoS 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.

Inferring function using patterns of native disorder in proteins [PDF]

, 2007
Natively unstructured regions are a common feature of eukaryotic proteomes. Between 30% and 60% of proteins are predicted to contain long stretches of disordered residues, and not only have many of these regions been confirmed experimentally, but they ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

Phosphorylation in intrinsically disordered regions regulates the activity of Neurogenin2 [PDF]

BMC Biochemistry, 2014
Neuronal differentiation is largely under the control of basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) proneural transcription factors that play key roles during development of the embryonic nervous system. In addition to well-characterised regulation of their expression, increasing evidence is emerging for additional post-translational regulation of proneural protein

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 ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

A blurry view of fuzzy objects: on the roles of low-resolution structural techniques in discovery and early characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins

Frontiers in Biophysics
The discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) (and, therefore, the establishment of the field of protein intrinsic disorder) was initially driven by low-resolution techniques, which overturned the established “lock-and-key” paradigm of ...
