Diffusion of a disordered protein on its folded ligand

F Wiggers, S Wohl, A Dubovetskyi… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Intrinsically disordered proteins often form dynamic complexes with their ligands. Yet, the
speed and amplitude of these motions are hidden in classical binding kinetics. Here, we …

[HTML][HTML] Allostery through DNA drives phenotype switching

G Rosenblum, N Elad, H Rozenberg, F Wiggers… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Allostery is a pervasive principle to regulate protein function. Growing evidence suggests
that also DNA is capable of transmitting allosteric signals. Yet, whether and how DNA-…

Membrane chemistry tunes the structure of a peptide transporter

…, K Bartels, J Jungwirth, F Wiggers… - Angewandte Chemie …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Membrane proteins require lipid bilayers for function. While lipid compositions reach enormous
complexities, high‐resolution structures are usually obtained in artificial detergents. To …

Diffusion of the disordered E-cadherin tail on β-catenin

F Wiggers, S Wohl, A Dubovetskyi, G Rosenblum… - BioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Specific protein interactions typically require well-shaped binding interfaces. Here, we
report a cunning exception. The disordered tail of the cell-adhesion protein E-cadherin …

[PDF][PDF] Observation of Allosteric Signaling through DNA with Single-Molecule FRET and Cryo-EM

G Rosenblum, N Elad, F Wiggers, H Hofmann - Biophysical Journal, 2019 - cell.com
Gene networks often obey complex dynamics such as pulsing and oscillations that require a
nearly binary “on” and “off” switch in gene activity. At a molecular level, a high cooperativity …

The conformational distribution of a major facilitator superfamily peptide transporter is modulated by the membrane composition

TL Male, K Bartels, F Wiggers, G Rosenblum… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
While structural biology aims at explaining the biological function of membrane proteins
with their structure, it is unclear how these proteins are modulated by the complex lipid …
