A Topical Collection on plant intrinsic disordered protein
of journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067), MDPI
JCR IF = 3.687, NAAS Score = 9.69
Summary:
This Topical Collection aims to collect high-quality review and original papers in the research field of plant protein intrinsic disorder. That intrinsically disordered proteins and regions, which lack a stable tertiary structure, participate in biological complexes, challenges our current perceptions of molecular interactions. Intrinsic disorder (ID) is especially prevalent in proteins involved in transcriptional regulation and cellular signaling but it also plays significant roles in other functional systems involving, e.g., chaperones and receptors and in physical phenomena such as the formation of membraneless organelles through phase separation. The flexibility and conformational plasticity of ID regions represent obvious functional advantages, making them readily accessible for various interactions and post-translational modifications. ID is challenging to investigate, but the recent rapid development of methods and strategies that can be specifically applied in studies of ID has dramatically increased the understanding of ID. Within recent years, ID has also emerged as important to plant biology, as documented by an increasing number of publications focusing on plant protein ID. Therefore, a topical collection on plant protein disorder is timely and highly relevant, broadly, to all fields within plant biology.
