Intrinsically 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...
متن کاملMolecular signaling involving intrinsically disordered proteins in prostate cancer
Investigations on cellular protein interaction networks (PINs) reveal that proteins that constitute hubs in a PIN are notably enriched in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) compared to proteins that constitute edges, highlighting the role of IDPs in signaling pathways. Most IDPs rapidly undergo disorder-to-order transitions upon binding to their biological targets to perform their functio...
متن کاملIntrinsically Disordered Proteins in Biomineralization
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) have the potential to play a unique role in the study of proteins and the relationships between structure and function. Intrinsic disorder affects chemical and cellular events such as cell signaling, macromolecular self-assembly, protein removal and crystal nucleation and growth. This chapter explores the structural principles by which IDPs act and revea...
متن کاملWhat's in a name? Why these proteins are intrinsically disordered: Why these proteins are intrinsically disordered.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." From "Romeo and Juliet", William Shakespeare (1594) This article opens a series of publications on disambiguation of the basic terms used in the field of intrinsically disordered proteins. We start from the beginning, namely from the explanation of what the expression "intrinsically disordered protein" actuall...
