Role of Ordered Proteins in the Folding-Upon-Binding of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Abstract
In this work, we quantitatively investigate the thermodynamic analogy between the folding of monomeric proteins and the interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Motivated by the hypothesis that similar hydrophobic forces guide both globular protein folding and also IDP interactions, we present a unified experimental and computational investigation of the coupling between the folding and binding of the intrinsically disordered tail of FCP1 when interacting with the cooperatively folding winged-helix domain of Rap74. Our calorimetric measurements quantitatively demonstrate the significance of hydrophobic interactions for this binding event. Our computational studies indicate that IDPs relieve frustration at the surface of ordered proteins to generate a minimally frustrated complex that is strikingly similar to a globular monomeric protein. In summary, these results not only quantify the thermodynamic forces driving disordered protein interactions but also highlight the role of ordered proteins for IDP function.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
IDPs are expected to have higher heat capacity than well-defined proteins, potentially 2-4 times that of globular proteins of equal mass.
“Proteins with very flexible conformations, such as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP), are expected to have larger heat capacity than well-defined proteins.96–98”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
