Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses intrinsically disordered, fast evolving proteins to interact with conserved host factors
23 Nov 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) are implicated in diverse cellular processes in eukaryotes and, in these organisms, they cover up to 40% of the proteome. Surprisingly little is known about IDRs in bacterial proteomes. Specifically, a number of questions remain unanswered, such as the role of these regions in host-pathogen interactions, their adaptive potential and evolutionary...
