Drs. HC Hodges @hodgeshc, @chanyuensan, K Cermakova @katacermaku et al discovered a molecular bridge that facilitates interactions among disordered proteins involved in regulating gene expression. #BetaCatenin #geneExpression @bcmhouston @MolecularCell blogs.bcm.edu/2025/07/24/fro…

BCMFromtheLabs's tweet card. The findings reveal that despite their disordered nature, the protein interactions that drive gene expression are surprisingly modular and even have an underlying organization.
