The underlying recognition motifs (linear motifs, LMs) are usually short and evolutionarily variable segments, which in several cases, such as phosphorylation sites or SH3-binding regions, fall into locally disordered regions. We probed the generality of this phenomenon by predicting the intrinsic disorder of all LM-containing proteins enlisted in the Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) database.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: We demonstrated that LMs in average are embedded in locally unstructured regions, while their amino acid composition and charge\/hydropathy properties exhibit a mixture characteristic of folded and disordered proteins. Overall, LMs are constructed by grafting a few specificity-determining residues favoring structural order on a highly flexible carrier region. These results establish a connection between LMs and molecular recognition elements of intrinsically unstructured proteins (IUPs), which realize a non-conventional mode of partner binding mostly in regulatory functions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0simon@enzim.hu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btm035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,27]],"date-time":"2007-03-27T00:27:57Z","timestamp":1174955277000},"page":"950-956","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":356,"title":["Local structural disorder imparts plasticity on linear motifs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Fuxreiter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Enzymology, BRC, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 1518 Budapest, P.O.
