Abstract:methods. Here, we developed a rational design method to obtain a peptide that can bind an IDR using only sequence information (Sci. Rep. 2019). We applied the method to the disordered C-terminal disordered domain of a tumor suppressor p53. The designed peptide showed the suppression of binding to DNA and sliding along DNA by p53 based on NMR, MD, and single molecule measurements (Nucleic Acid Res. 2018). Also, we recently found that p53 itself induces liquid-liquid phase separation through multivalent electros… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
