Improving Sequence Alignments For Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Here we analyze sequence alignments for intrinsically disordered proteins. For 55 disordered protein families we measure the performance of different scoring matrices and propose one adjusted to disordered regions. An iterative algorithm of realigning sequences and recalculating matrices is designed and tested. For each matrix we also test a wide range of gap penalties. Results show an improvem...
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...
متن کاملInfluence of Sequence Changes and Environment on Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Many large-scale studies on intrinsically disordered proteins are implicitly based on the structural models deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Yet, the static nature of deposited models supplies little insight into variation of protein structure and function under diverse cellular and environmental conditions. While the computational predictability of disordered regions provides practical evid...
متن کاملSequence Complexity of Amyloidogenic Regions in Intrinsically Disordered Human Proteins
An amyloidogenic region (AR) in a protein sequence plays a significant role in protein aggregation and amyloid formation. We have investigated the sequence complexity of AR that is present in intrinsically disordered human proteins. More than 80% human proteins in the disordered protein databases (DisProt+IDEAL) contained one or more ARs. With decrease of protein disorder, AR content in the pro...
