A chain mechanism for flagellum growth.
Bacteria swim by means of long flagella extending from the cell surface. These are assembled from thousands of protein subunits translocated across the cell membrane by an export machinery at the base of each flagellum. Unfolded...

A method for partitioning the information contained in a protein sequence between its structure and function.
Proteins employ the information stored in the genetic code and translated into their sequences to carry out well-defined functions in the cellular environment. The possibility to encode for such functions is controlled by the...

A Small Molecule Stabilizes the Disordered Native State of the Alzheimer's Aβ Peptide.
The stabilization of native states of proteins is a powerful drug discovery strategy. It is still unclear, however, whether this approach can be applied to intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we report a small molecule that...

Disordered domains in chromatin-binding proteins.
Chromatin comprises proteins, DNA and RNA, and its function is to condense and package the genome in a way that allows the necessary transactions such as transcription, replication and repair to occur in a highly organised and...

Common Functions of Disordered Proteins across Evolutionary Distant Organisms
Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions typically lack a well-defined structure and thus fall outside the scope of the classic sequence−structure−function relationship. Hence, classic sequence- or structure-based...

Protein disorder-to-order transition enhances the nucleosome-binding affinity of H1.
Intrinsically disordered proteins are crucial elements of chromatin heterogenous organization. While disorder in the histone tails enables a large variation of inter-nucleosome arrangements, disorder within the chromatin-binding...

Critical assessment of protein intrinsic disorder prediction.
Intrinsically disordered proteins, defying the traditional protein structure-function paradigm, are a challenge to study experimentally. Because a large part of our knowledge rests on computational predictions, it is crucial...

Targeted modulation of protein liquid-liquid phase separation by evolution of amino-acid sequence.
Rationally and efficiently modifying the amino-acid sequence of proteins to control their ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) on demand is not only highly desirable, but can also help to elucidate which...
