#Proteome_Mysteries Asking any of the cognoscenti in proteomics & they will tell you that exons are only of interest to DNA/RNA nerds: it has no practical effect once you get to the protein level. Contrary to this old wife's tale, there are numerous examples […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Nance-Horan Syndrome protein like protein 1 is decorated dans la mode of a nuclear scaffold (a protein that assembles a complex when its PTM marks are favourable). There is no regular expression for this type of protein giving rise to its current very vague […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Topoisomerase 2 binding protein has 9 BRCT (BRca1 C-Terminal) domains. BRCTs are though to act in pairs to bind a pS/T containing sequence + an additional peptide domain for enhanced specificity. TOPBP1 has 2 isolated BRCTs, one of which is associated with adjacent pS/T acceptors of its own.

ZDHHC5:p (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 5) is named for its nward, structured, enzymatic domain that dominates all the discussion of the protein's function. But the cward pIDR looks like it has ~6 subdomains & it is hard to believe they aren't up to some sort of functional hijinks.
