Abstract
DNA regulation, replication and repair are processes fundamental to all known organisms and the sliding clamp proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is central to all these processes. S-phase delaying protein 1 (Spd1) from S. pombe, an intrinsically disordered protein that causes checkpoint activation by inhibiting the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, has one of the most divergent PCNA binding motifs known. Using NMR spectroscopy, in vivo assays, X-ray crystallography, calorimetry, and Monte Carlo simulations, an additional PCNA binding motif in Spd1, a PIP-box, is revealed. The two tandemly positioned, low affinity sites exchange rapidly on PCNA exploiting the same binding sites. Increasing or decreasing the binding affinity between Spd1 and PCNA through mutations of either motif compromised the ability of Spd1 to cause checkpoint activation in yeast. These results pinpoint a role for PCNA in Spd1-mediated checkpoint activation and suggest that its tandemly positioned short linear motifs create a neatly balanced competition-based system, involving PCNA, Spd1 and the small ribonucleotide reductase subunit, Suc22R2. Similar mechanisms may be relevant in other PCNA binding ligands where divergent binding motifs so far have gone under the PIP-box radar.

Abstract
Class 1 cytokine receptors transmit signals through the membrane by a single transmembrane helix to an intrinsically disordered cytoplasmic domain that lacks kinase activity. While specific binding to phosphoinositides has been reported for the prolactin receptor (PRLR), the role of lipids in PRLR signalling is unclear. Using an integrative approach combining NMR spectroscopy, cellular signalling experiments, computational modelling and simulation, we demonstrate co-structure formation of the disordered intracellular domain of the human PRLR, the membrane constituent phosphoinositide-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and the FERM-SH2 domain of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). We find that the complex leads to accumulation of PI(4,5)P2 at the transmembrane helix interface and that mutation of residues identified to interact specifically with PI(4,5)P2 negatively affects PRLR-mediated activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). Facilitated by co-structure formation, the membrane-proximal disordered region arranges into an extended structure. We suggest that the co-structure formed between PRLR, JAK2 and PI(4,5)P2 locks the juxtamembrane disordered domain of the PRLR in an extended structure, enabling signal relay from the extracellular to the intracellular domain upon ligand binding. We find that the co-structure exists in different states which we speculate could be relevant for turning signalling on and off. Similar co-structures may be relevant for other non-receptor tyrosine kinases and their receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Class 1 cytokine receptors (C1CRs) are single-pass transmembrane proteins responsible for transmitting signals between the outside and the inside of cells. Remarkably, they orchestrate key biological processes such as proliferation, differentiation, immunity and growth through long disordered intracellular domains (ICDs), but without having intrinsic kinase activity. Despite these key roles, their characteristics remain rudimentarily understood. METHODS The current paper asks the question of why disorder has evolved to govern signaling of C1CRs by reviewing the literature in combination with new sequence and biophysical analyses of chain properties across the family. RESULTS We uncover that the C1CR-ICDs are fully disordered and brimming with SLiMs. Many of these short linear motifs (SLiMs) are overlapping, jointly signifying a complex regulation of interactions, including network rewiring by isoforms. The C1CR-ICDs have unique properties that distinguish them from most IDPs and we forward the perception that the C1CR-ICDs are far from simple strings with constitutively bound kinases. Rather, they carry both organizational and operational features left uncovered within their disorder, including mechanisms and complexities of regulatory functions. CONCLUSIONS Critically, the understanding of the fascinating ability of these long, completely disordered chains to orchestrate complex cellular signaling pathways is still in its infancy, and we urge a perceptional shift away from the current simplistic view towards uncovering their full functionalities and potential.

Abstract
The prolactin receptor is an archetype member of the class I cytokine receptor family, comprising receptors with fundamental functions in biology as well as key drug targets. Structurally, each of these receptors represent an intriguing diversity, providing an exceptionally challenging target for structural biology. Here, we access the molecular architecture of the monomeric human prolactin receptor by combining experimental and computational efforts. We solve the NMR structure of its transmembrane domain in micelles and collect structural data on overlapping fragments of the receptor with small-angle X-ray scattering, native mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Along with previously published data, these are integrated by molecular modelling to generate a full receptor structure. The result provides the first full view of a class I cytokine receptor, exemplifying the architecture of more than 40 different receptor chains, and reveals that the extracellular domain is merely the tip of a molecular iceberg.

Abstract
Cytokine receptors elicit several signaling pathways, but it is poorly understood how they select and discriminate between them. We have scrutinized the prolactin receptor as an archetype model of homodimeric cytokine receptors to address the role of the extracellular membrane proximal domain in signal transfer and pathway selection. Structure-guided manipulation of residues involved in the receptor dimerization interface identified one residue (position 170) that in cell-based assays profoundly altered pathway selectivity and species-specific bio-characteristics. Subsequent in vitro spectroscopic and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses revealed that this residue was part of a residue quartet responsible for specific local structural changes underlying these effects. This included alteration of a novel aromatic T-stack within the membrane proximal domain, which promoted selective signaling affecting primarily the MAPK (ERK1/2) pathway. Importantly, activation of the MAPK pathway correlated with in vitro stabilities of ternary ligand·receptor complexes, suggesting a threshold mean lifetime of the complex necessary to achieve maximal activation. No such dependence was observed for STAT5 signaling. Thus, this study establishes a residue quartet in the extracellular membrane proximal domain of homodimeric cytokine receptors as a key regulator of intracellular signaling discrimination.

Abstract
PRLR(I146L) is the first identified gain-of-function variant of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) that was proposed to be associated with benign breast tumorigenesis. Structural investigations suggested this hydrophobic core position in the extracellular D2 domain to be linked to receptor dimerization. Here, we used a mutational approach to address how the conservative I-to-L substitution induced constitutive activity. Using cell-based assays of different I146-PRLR variants in combination with spectroscopic/nuclear magnetic resonance analyses we found that chemical manipulation of position 146 profoundly altered folding, PRL-responsiveness, and ligand-independent activity of the receptor in a mutation-specific manner. Together, these data further add to the critical role of position 146, showing it to also be crucial to structural integrity thereby imposing on the biological PRLR properties. When stably introduced in MCF-7 (luminal) and MDA-MB231 (mesenchymal) breast cancer cells, the most potent of the PRL-insensitive mutants (PRLR(I146D)) had minimal impact on cell proliferation and cell differentiation status.

Abstract
With the increasing need to integrate different areas of science in the study of intrinsically disordered proteins we arranged a meeting entitled “Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Connecting Computation, Physics and Biology” in Zürich in September 2013. The aim of the meeting was to bring together scientists from a range of disciplines to provide a snapshot of the field, as well as to promote future interdisciplinary studies that link the fundamental physical and chemical properties of intrinsically disordered proteins with their biological function. A range of important topics were covered at the meeting including studies linking structural studies of intrinsically disordered proteins with their function, the effect of post-translational modifications, studies of folding-upon-binding, as well as presentation of a number of systems in which intrinsically disordered proteins play a central role in important biological processes. A recurring theme was how computation, including various forms of molecular simulations, can be integrated with experimental and theoretical studies to help understand the complex properties of intrinsically disordered proteins. With this Meeting Report we hope to give a brief overview of the inspiration obtained from presentations, discussions and conversations held at the workshop and point out possible future directions within the field of intrinsically disordered proteins.
