Proteome-wide signatures of function in highly diverged intrinsically disordered regions

Abstract: Intrinsically disordered regions make up a large part of the proteome, but the sequence-to-function relationship in these regions is poorly understood, in part because the primary amino acid sequences of these regions are poorly conserved in alignments. Here we use an evolutionary approach to detect molecular features that are preserved in the amino acid sequences of orthologous intrinsically disordered regions. We find that most disordered regions contain multiple molecular features that are preserved, and we… Show more

“…IDRs are enriched in sites of posttranslational modifications and are often alternatively spliced [13], and may have conserved molecular features, such as subcellular localization, membrane transport, motor activity, ribosomal function, etc. [19]. Thus, IDPs/IDRs are good candidates for the conformational memory providing fast cellular learning ( Figure 1).…”
