“…For example, a key feature of intrinsically disordered proteins is their ability to interact with multiple partners (Okoye et al, 2022;Sipko et al, 2024). This multivalency could explain variously reported interactions (in addition to those explored in this paper) with: DNA (Ham et al, 1999;Sueda et al, 2010), a catalase (Inaba et al, 2011) and a calmodulin-like factor in tobacco (Nakahara et al, 2012), cucumber RNA-directed RNA polymerase 1 (Kumari et al, 2021), an A. thaliana zinc finger protein HB27 (Rattan et al, 2022), and A. thaliana jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins 1, 3, 6 and 10 ( Wu et al, 2017). Intrinsically disordered proteins, including at least one plant viral protein (the p26 movement protein of pea enation mosaic virus 2), can phase separate and enter membrane-free organelles composed of protein-rich droplets (Brangwynne et al, 2009;Brady et al, 2017;Mitrea and Kriwacki, 2016;Wallmann and Kesten, 2020;Brown et al, 2021).…”
