Understanding Viral Transmission Behavior via Protein Intrinsic Disorder Prediction: Coronaviruses
Besides being a common threat to farm animals and poultry, coronavirus (CoV) was responsible for the human severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2002-4. However, many aspects of CoV behavior, including modes of its transmission, are yet to be fully understood. We show that the amount and the peculiarities of distribution of the protein intrinsic disorder in the viral shell can be...
متن کاملIntrinsic Protein Disorder and Protein-Protein Interactions
Intrinsically disordered proteins often bind to more than one partner. In this study, we focused on 11 sets of complexes in which the same disordered segment becomes bound to two or more distinct partners. For this collection of protein complexes, two or more partners of each disordered segment were selected to have less than 25% amino acid identity at structurally aligned positions. As it tur...
متن کاملProtein intrinsic disorder in plants
To some extent contradicting the classical paradigm of the relationship between protein 3D structure and function, now it is clear that large portions of the proteomes, especially in higher organisms, lack a fixed structure and still perform very important functions. Proteins completely or partially unstructured in their native (functional) form are involved in key cellular processes underlain ...
متن کاملProtein flexibility and intrinsic disorder.
Comparisons were made among four categories of protein flexibility: (1) low-B-factor ordered regions, (2) high-B-factor ordered regions, (3) short disordered regions, and (4) long disordered regions. Amino acid compositions of the four categories were found to be significantly different from each other, with high-B-factor ordered and short disordered regions being the most similar pair. The hig...
متن کاملIntrinsic disorder and protein function.
2 The dominant view of protein structure-function is that an amino acid sequence specifies a (mostly) fixed three-dimensional (3-D) structure that is a prerequisite to protein function. In contrast to the dominant view, many proteins display functions requiring the disordered state. Our purpose here is to provide a catalogue of disorder-function relationships. The very important molecular detai...
