Quantitative proteome-based guidelines for intrinsic disorder characterization.
Intrinsically disordered proteins fail to adopt a stable three-dimensional structure under physiological conditions. It is now understood that many disordered proteins are not dysfunctional, but instead engage in numerous cellular processes, including signaling and regulation. Disorder characterization from amino acid sequence relies on computational disorder prediction algorithms. While numero...
متن کاملIntrinsic Disorder in the Human Spliceosomal Proteome
The spliceosome is a molecular machine that performs the excision of introns from eukaryotic pre-mRNAs. This macromolecular complex comprises in human cells five RNAs and over one hundred proteins. In recent years, many spliceosomal proteins have been found to exhibit intrinsic disorder, that is to lack stable native three-dimensional structure in solution. Building on the previous body of prot...
متن کاملQuantitative characterization of intrinsic disorder in polyglutamine: insights from analysis based on polymer theories.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are unfolded under physiological conditions. Here we ask if archetypal IDPs in aqueous milieus are best described as swollen disordered coils in a good solvent or collapsed disordered globules in a poor solvent. To answer this question, we analyzed data from molecular simulations for a 20-residue polyglutamine peptide and concluded, in accord with experi...
متن کاملVariants of intrinsic disorder in the human proteome
In this paper we propose a straightforward operational definition of variants of disordered proteins, taking the human proteome as a case study. The focus is on a distinction between mostly unstructured proteins and proteins which contain long unstructured regions accommodated in an overall folded structure. Two parameters control our distinction: dr, the percentage of disordered residues and L...
متن کاملGuidelines for quantitative rt-PCR.
Something I notice often in supervising new graduate students is their frustration with the irreproducibility of their biological data. For example, I am asked frequently ‘‘how many biological replicates do I need for qRT-PCR’’? The answer, of course, lies first with the students themselves. They need as many replicates as will persuade them of the validity of their observations. However, for m...
