TLDR
In this review, it is suggested that there might be over a million instances of peptide motifs in the human proteome, a staggering number that suggests that peptides are numerous and the most understudied functional module in the cell.

Intrinsically disordered proteins in cellular signalling and regulation.

TL;DR: Experimental, computational and bioinformatic analyses combine to identify and characterize disordered regions of proteins, leading to a greater appreciation of their widespread roles in biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Phase Separation: A New Phase in Cell Biology.

TL;DR: A combination of techniques from cell biology, biophysics, physical chemistry, structural biology, and bioinformatics are starting to help establish the molecular principles of an emerging field, thus paving the way for exciting discoveries, including novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of age-related disorders.

A reference map of the human binary protein interactome

Katja Luck, +94 more
- 08 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: The utility of HuRI is demonstrated in identifying the specific subcellular roles of protein–protein interactions and in identifying potential molecular mechanisms that might underlie tissue-specific phenotypes of Mendelian diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Function by Post-translational Modifications

TL;DR: Diverse biological processes that are dependent on PTM regulation of IDPs are discussed and recent tools for generating homogenously modified IDPs for studies of PTM-mediated IDP regulatory mechanisms are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Ensembles of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Depend Strongly on Force Field: A Comparison to Experiment

TL;DR: This work compared the IDP ensembles generated by eight all-atom empirical force fields against primary small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and NMR data and found that changing the force field is found to have a stronger effect on secondary structure content than changing the entire peptide sequence.

The Protein Kinase Complement of the Human Genome

TL;DR: The protein kinase complement of the human genome is catalogued using public and proprietary genomic, complementary DNA, and expressed sequence tag sequences to provide a starting point for comprehensive analysis of protein phosphorylation in normal and disease states and a detailed view of the current state of human genome analysis through a focus on one large gene family.
Journal ArticleDOI

From molecular to modular cell biology.

TL;DR: General principles that govern the structure and behaviour of modules may be discovered with help from synthetic sciences such as engineering and computer science, from stronger interactions between experiment and theory in cell biology, and from an appreciation of evolutionary constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsically unstructured proteins and their functions.

TL;DR: Many gene sequences in eukaryotic genomes encode entire proteins or large segments of proteins that lack a well-structured three-dimensional fold, whereas others constitute flexible linkers that have a role in the assembly of macromolecular arrays.

Activities at the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt)

Rolf Apweiler, +133 more
TL;DR: The mission of the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequences and functional annotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase transitions in the assembly of multivalent signalling proteins

TL;DR: Interactions between diverse synthetic, multivalent macromolecules (including multi-domain proteins and RNA) produce sharp liquid–liquid-demixing phase separations, generating micrometre-sized liquid droplets in aqueous solution.
