Disordered binding regions (DBRs), which are embedded within intrinsically disordered proteins or regions (IDPs or IDRs), enable IDPs or IDRs to mediate multiple protein-protein interactions. DBR-protein complexes were collected from the Protein Data Bank for which two or more DBRs having different amino acid sequences bind to the same (100% sequence identical) globular protein partner, a type of interaction herein called many-to-one binding. Two distinct binding profiles were identified: independent and overlapping. For the overlapping binding profiles, the distinct DBRs interact by means of almost identical binding sites (herein called "similar"), or the binding sites contain both common and divergent interaction residues (herein called "intersecting"). Further analysis of the sequence and structural differences among these three groups indicate how IDP flexibility allows different segments to adjust to similar, intersecting, and independent binding pockets.

Binding of the feature in the auditory domain: S-R or S-S binding; or both?

Perceiving and reacting to multidimensional objects creates so-called event files via feature binding. Bogon, Thomaschke, and Dreisbach provided the first evidence for the integration of the feature into such event files. However, their paradigm did not allow for differentiation between stimulus-stimulus and stimulus-response binding.

The investigation is the first report on genome-wide identification and characterization of NBLRR genes in pearl millet. We have shown the role of gene loss and purifying selection in the divergence of NBLRRs in Poaceae lineage and candidate CaNBLRR genes for resistance to Magnaporthe grisea infection. Plants have evolved multiple integral mechanisms to counteract the pathogens' infection, among which plant immunity through NBLRR (nucleotide-binding site, leucine-rich repeat) genes is at the forefront.

Introduction: Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) are active in different cellular procedures like ordered assembly of chromatin and ribosomes, interaction with membrane, protein, and ligand binding, molecular recognition, binding, and transportation nuclear pores, microfilaments and microtubules process and disassembly, protein functions, RNA chaperone, and nucleic acid binding, modulation of the central dogma, cell cycle, and other cellular activities, post-translational qualification and substitute splicing, and flexible entropic linker and management of signaling pathways.
Methods: The intrinsic disorder is a precise structural characteristic that permits IDPs/IDPRs to be involved in both one-to-many and many-to-one signaling. IDPs/IDPRs also exert some dynamical and structural ordering, being much less constrained in their activities than folded proteins.
Fast decoding cell type-specific transcription factor binding landscape at single-nucleotide resolution.

Decoding the cell type-specific transcription factor (TF) binding landscape at single-nucleotide resolution is crucial for understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying many fundamental biological processes and human diseases. However, limits on time and resources restrict the high-resolution experimental measurements of TF binding profiles of all possible TF-cell type combinations. Previous computational approaches either cannot distinguish the cell context-dependent TF binding profiles across diverse cell types or can only provide a relatively low-resolution prediction.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and regions (IDRs) are commonly found in all proteomes analyzed so far. These proteins/regions are subject to numerous posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and alternative splicing, are involved in a wide range of cellular functions, and often facilitate protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Some of these proteins contain molecular recognition features (MoRFs), which are IDRs that bind to partner proteins and undergo disorder-to-order transitions.
