"A novel mode of interaction between intrinsically disordered proteins"
【Significance】
The “coupled folding and binding mechanism” has been suggested to be important for intrinsically disordered proteins/regions (IDPs/IDRs) in order to interact with multiple interaction partners in cells. We have studied the structure and interaction of eukaryotic transcription factors Sp1 and TAF4, and found that both of them have several IDRs. One of the IDRs in Sp1 exhibited homo-oligomer formation. The same region was also used for the heteromolecular interaction with TAF4. In both cases, no significant conformational change was detected, suggesting a prominent and novel binding mode for IDPs/IDRs.
