Analysis of Protein Disorder Predictions in the Light of a Protein Structural Alphabet

Abstract: Intrinsically-disordered protein (IDP) characterization was an amazing change of paradigm in our classical sequence-structure-function theory. Moreover, IDPs are over-represented in major disease pathways and are now often targeted using small molecules for therapeutic purposes. This has had created a complex continuum from order-that encompasses rigid and flexible regions-to disorder regions; the latter being not accessible through classical crystallographic methodologies. In X-ray structures, the notion of o… Show more

“…This is the case when the available structure of the complex gives the form obtained by the protein when it interacts with another component of the complex. The form of the interface, which in the free protein takes the form of IDP, already represents a static form in the complex [ 10 12 ]. The participation of IDPs in the context of a specific biological process—often critical for functioning—is important [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…The height of letters indicates the relative frequency of PB at that position, i.e., one big letter means only one type of PB, and small and numerous letters show higher diversity. N eq values have been scaled in regard to flexible and disordered regions [ 30 , 31 ]. N eq value higher than 8 is considered as disordered position, whereas values less than 8 but greater than 6 are considered highly flexible, and values around 4 show inherent flexibility.…”

“…Figure 6 c,g show that these loops are not completely disordered, but they have specific regions. In regard to a specific rigid region encompassed between highly disordered regions [ 5 , 31 ], they were analyzed in depth [ 32 ]. The first completed loop begins with a slightly deformable region (before position 767, N eq is around 2), before going to the restricted disorder position 768, and the rest of the loop is between flexible and highly flexible.…”

“…Additionally, we wanted to verify our hypothesis that class E is only a polymorphism of CALRwt and is not associated with ET. To achieve this, we used molecular dynamics simulations to reproduce the theoretical dynamics of each CALRm class in monomeric and dimeric forms, and we analyzed them with Protein Blocks [ 71 , 84 ].…”
