Knr4, recently characterized as an intrinsically disordered Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, participates in cell wall formation and cell cycle regulation. It is constituted of a functional central globular core flanked by a poorly structured N-terminal and large natively unfolded C-terminal domains. Up to now, about 30 different proteins have been reported to physically interact with Knr4....
