The intrinsically disordered regions of eukaryotic proteomes are enriched in short linear
motifs ( SL iMs), which are of crucial relevance for cellular signaling and protein regulation; …

Cotton fiber is a specialized unicellular structure useful for the study of cellular differentiation
and development. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been shown to be involved in various …

Developmentally programmed formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by Spo11
initiates a recombination mechanism that promotes synapsis and the subsequent segregation …

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a major Ser/Thr phosphatase; it forms diverse heterotrimeric
holoenzymes that counteract kinase actions. Using a peptidome that tiles the disordered …

Insect damage to plants can have several impacts on plant biochemical composition and
such changes may influence the insect performances. Here, we examined herbivore-…

Higher-order chromatin structure undergoes striking changes in response to various
developmental and environmental signals, causing distinct cell types to adopt specific chromatin …

There are many efficient ways to connect proteins at termini. However, connecting at a loop
is difficult because of lower flexibility and variable environment. Here, we have developed …

Short linear motifs (SLiMs) drive dynamic protein-protein interactions essential for signaling,
but sequence degeneracy and low binding affinities make them difficult to identify. We …

Background Imprinted genes are epigenetically modified during gametogenesis and maintain
the established epigenetic signatures after fertilization, causing parental-specific gene …

The ERM (ezrin, radixin, and moesin) family of proteins and the related protein merlin
participate in scaffolding and signaling events at the cell cortex. The proteins share an N-terminal …
