    ABSTRACT: Bacterial single-stranded (ss)DNA-binding proteins (SSB) are essential for the replication and maintenance of the genome. SSBs share a conserved ssDNA-binding domain, a less conserved intrinsically disordered linker (IDL), and a highly conserved C-terminal peptide (CTP) motif that mediates a wide array of protein−protein interactions with DNA-metabolizing proteins. Here we show that the Escherichia coli SSB protein…

    ABSTRACT: Proteins, the drivers of machinery of cells and viruses, regulate their internal processes and interactions with the environment.Their shapes evolved to perform different roles across species, tightly linking structures to their functions. The collection of all proteins, known as the “Protein Universe” is vast and mostly unexplored, with few experimentally derived functions and structures.…
