Abstract

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or regions (IDRs) in proteins hold many functions but their biological roles are still not fully understood. Here we describe a new role of such regions. Using the HIV-1 Rev protein, we show that disordered domains have a role in maintaining the correct oligomeric state and the thermodynamic stability of proteins.
