The intrinsically disordered protein NUPR1 binds to phospholipids

The nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1) is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) involved in stress-mediated cellular conditions, with an interactome including many other partner proteins, as well as nucleic acids. We wondered whether its great conformational flexibility and biological versatility could i...
