Tunable membrane binding of the intrinsically disordered dehydrin Lti30, a cold-induced plant stress protein.
Dehydrins are intrinsically disordered plant proteins whose expression is upregulated under conditions of desiccation and cold stress. Their molecular function in ensuring plant survival is not yet known, but several studies suggest their involvement in membrane stabilization. The dehydrins are characterized by a broad repertoire of conserved and repetitive sequences, out of which the archetypi...
متن کاملThe contribution of intrinsically disordered regions to protein function, cellular complexity, and human disease
In the 1960s, Christian Anfinsen postulated that the unique three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by its amino acid sequence. This work laid the foundation for the sequence-structure-function paradigm, which states that the sequence of a protein determines its structure, and structure determines function. However, a class of polypeptide segments called intrinsically disordered ...
متن کاملIntrinsically Disordered Proteins Adaptively Reorganize Cellular Matter During Stress.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can protect cells from diverse stresses by forming higher order assemblies such as reversible aggregates or granules. Recently, Boothby et al. show that IDPs protect tardigrades against desiccation by forming a glass-like amorphous matrix, highlighting that material properties of disordered proteins can confer adaptation during stress.

Proteins can exist in a trinity of structures: the ordered state, the molten globule, and the random coil. The five following examples suggest that native protein structure can correspond to any of the three states (not just the ordered state) and that protein function can arise from any of the three states and their transitions. (1) In a process that likely mimics infection, fd phage converts ...
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 ...
