Residue-Level Energetic Analysis of Transient Misfolding in the Whirlin PDZ Tandem Reveals a Possible Connection to an AlphaFold-Predicted Alternative Topology

Multidomain proteins may populate transient misfolded states that compete with productive folding, but the molecular determinants of these intermediates remain poorly understood. Using the tandem PDZ domains of the scaffolding protein whirlin, in which a misfolded intermediate ac...

In the wisdom of Odin: modular architecture, receptor trafficking and therapeutic implications

Odin (ANKS1A) is a multidomain adaptor protein originally identified as a substrate of receptor tyrosine kinases. Over the past two decades, studies have revealed functions that extend beyond canonical growth factor signaling. At the molecular level, Odin participates in receptor...
