Do Moonlighting Proteins Belong to the Intrinsically Disordered Protein Class?
Moonlighting proteins refer to those proteins presenting two or more functions performed by a single polypeptide chain. They were initially reported by Wistow and Piatigorsky in the late 1980s when lens crystallins turned out to be previously known metabolic enzymes [1,2]. Moonlighting proteins present alternative functions which are mostly related to cellular localization, cell type, oligomeri...
متن کاملSerine/arginine-rich splicing factors belong to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins
Serine/arginine-rich (SR) splicing factors play an important role in constitutive and alternative splicing as well as during several steps of RNA metabolism. Despite the wealth of functional information about SR proteins accumulated to-date, structural knowledge about the members of this family is very limited. To gain a better insight into structure-function relationships of SR proteins, we pe...
متن کاملEPR in protein science : intrinsically disordered proteins.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) form a unique protein category characterized by the absence of a well-defined structure and by remarkable conformational flexibility. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy combined with site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) is amongst the most suitable methods to unravel their structure and dynamics. This review summarizes the tremendous method...
متن کاملIntrinsically disordered proteins.
Our understanding of protein function has been predominated by the view that proteins need to adopt a defined three dimensional structure to be able to carry out their function. Indeed, crystal structures of numerous proteins have been instrumental in establishing the structure– function paradigm. For example, the structures of numerous enzymes have highlighted the need for particular chemical ...
متن کاملIntrinsically Disordered Proteins
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’s most productive multitaskers, proteins wh...
