Intrinsically disordered regions regulate both catalytic and non-catalytic activities of the MutLα mismatch repair complex

From a publication in Oxford Academic

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in at least 30% of the eukaryotic proteome and are enriched in chromatin-associated proteins. Using a combination of genetics, biochemistry and single-molecule biophysics, we characterize how IDRs regulate the functions of the yeast MutLα (Mlh1–Pms1) mismatch repair (MMR) complex.
