Divergence in a eukaryotic transcription factor's co-TF dependence involves multiple intrinsically disordered regions.

Nature communications
Combinatorial control by transcription factors (TFs) is central to eukaryotic gene regulation, yet its mechanism, evolution, and regulatory impact are not well understood. Here we use natural variation in the yeast phosphate starvation (PHO) response...

Deciphering disordered regions controlling mRNA decay in high-throughput.

Nature
Intrinsically disordered regions within proteins drive specific molecular functions despite lacking a defined structure. Although disordered regions are integral to controlling mRNA stability and translation, the mechanisms underlying these regulator...

Deep learning tools predict variants in disordered regions with lower sensitivity.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: The recent AI breakthrough of AlphaFold2 has revolutionized 3D protein structural modeling, proving crucial for protein design and variant effects prediction. However, intrinsically disordered regions-known for their lack of well-defined ...

Deep Learning-Based Comparative Prediction and Functional Analysis of Intrinsically Disordered Regions in SARS-CoV-2.

International journal of molecular sciences
This study explores the role of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome and their potential as targets for small-molecule drug discovery. Experimentally validated intrinsic disordered regions from the literature were utiliz...

Machine learning methods to study sequence-ensemble-function relationships in disordered proteins.

Current opinion in structural biology
Recent years have seen tremendous developments in the use of machine learning models to link amino-acid sequence, structure, and function of folded proteins. These methods are, however, rarely applicable to the wide range of proteins and sequences th...

Accelerated Missense Mutation Identification in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Using Deep Learning.

Biomacromolecules
We use a combination of Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation results and deep learning (DL) strategies for the rapid identification of large structural changes caused by missense mutations in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). We used ∼6500 IDP s...

PredIDR2: Improving accuracy of protein intrinsic disorder prediction by updating deep convolutional neural network and supplementing DisProt data.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or regions (IDRs) are widespread in proteomes, and involved in several important biological processes and implicated in many diseases. Many computational methods for IDR prediction are being developed to decre...

Sampling Conformational Ensembles of Highly Dynamic Proteins via Generative Deep Learning.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Proteins are inherently dynamic, and their conformational ensembles play a crucial role in biological function. Large-scale motions may govern the protein structure-function relationship, and numerous transient but stable conformations of intrinsical...

An integrated machine learning approach delineates an entropic expansion mechanism for the binding of a small molecule to α-synuclein.

eLife
The mis-folding and aggregation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) such as α-synuclein (αS) underlie the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. However, targeting αS with small molecules faces challenges due to the lack of defi...

PICNIC accurately predicts condensate-forming proteins regardless of their structural disorder across organisms.

Nature communications
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles that can concentrate hundreds of different proteins in cells to operate essential biological functions. However, accurate identification of their components remains challenging and biased towards p...
