Binding induced folding: Lessons from the kinetics of interaction between NTAIL and XD

Abstract

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) are a class of protein that exert their function despite lacking a well-defined three-dimensional structure, which is sometimes achieved only upon binding to their natural ligands. This feature implies the folding of IDPs to be generally coupled with a binding event, representing an interesting challenge for kinetic studies. In this review, we recapitulate some of the most important findings of IDPs binding-induced folding mechanisms obtained by analyzing their binding kinetics. Furthermore, by focusing on the interaction between the Measles virus NTAIL protein, a prototypical IDP, and its physiological partner, the X domain, we recapitulate the major theoretical and experimental approaches that were used to describe binding induced folding.
