Functional roles of intrinsic disorder in CRISPR-associated protein Cas9
Mol. BioSyst., 2017, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C7MB00279C, PaperZhihua Du, Vladimir N. Uversky Protein intrinsic disorder is an important characteristic commonly detected in multifunctional or RNA- and DNA-binding proteins. We show here that the CRISPR-associated Cas9 proteins of different origin contain functionally important intrinsically disordered regions.
