Abstract excerpt
Intrinsically disordered proteins must compete for binding to common regulatory targets to carry out their biological functions. Previously, we showed that the activation domains of two disordered proteins, the transcription factor HIF-1α and its negative regulator CITED2, function as a unidirectional, allosteric molecular switch to control transcription of critical adaptive genes under conditions of oxygen...
