== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins often regulate function upon post-translational modification (PTM) through interactions with folded domains. An IDR linking two alpha-helices (alpha1-alpha2) of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL experiences several PTMs that reduce antiapoptotic activity. Here, we report that PTMs within the alpha1-alpha2 IDR promote its interaction with the folded core of Bcl-xL that inhibits the proapoptotic activity of two types of regulatory targets, BH3-only proteins and p53. This autoregulation utilizes an allosteric pathway whereby, in one direction, the IDR induces a direct displacement of p53 from Bcl-xL coupled to allosteric displacement of simultaneously bound BH3-only partners. This pathway operates in the opposite direction when the BH3-only protein PUMA binds to the BH3 binding groove of Bcl-xL, directly displacing other bound BH3-only proteins, and allosterically remodels the distal site, displacing p53. Our findings show how an IDR enhances functional versatility through PTM-dependent allosteric regulation of a folded protein domain. | |||
