Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are proteins or protein regions that fail to get folded into definite three-dimensional structures but participate in various biological processes and perform specific functions. Defying the traditional protein "sequence-structure-function" paradigm, they enrich the protein "structure-function" diversity. Ubiquitous in organisms, they show extreme hydrophilicity, charged amino acids, and highly repetitive amino acid sequences, with simple arrangement. As a result, they feature highly variable binding affinities and high coordination, which facilitate their functions. IDPs play an important role in cell stress response, which can improve the tolerance to a variety of stresses, such as freezing, high salt, heat shock, and desiccation. In this study, we briefed the characteristics, classifications, and identification of IDPs, summarized the molecular mechanism in improving cell stress resistance, and described the potential applications.

s Objective: The characteristics of locoregional rectal cancer recurrences following total mesorectal excision (TME) were not clear previously. This study aimed to analyze and help determine the optimal radiotherapy clinical target volume. Methods: The clini-cal data of 134 patients who had recurrence and metastasis following TME without radiotherapy between January 2012 and Novem-ber 2018 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The Chi-square test was used to evaluate the relationship between lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological factors, such as the location of primary tumors and tumor stage. The correlations between different types of lymphatic drainage of rectal cancer were also tested. Results: In total, 134 patients were enrolled in this study. The median time to relapse was 15 months. The incidences of anastomotic, rectal and mesorectal, pelvic presacral space, abdominal presacral space, internal iliac node, external iliac node, obturator node, inguinal node, and ischiorectal fossa recurrences were 42.5% (57/134), 26.9% (36/134), 25.4% (34/134), 7.5% (10/134), 34.3% (46/134), 3.7% (5/134), 0.7% (1/134), 9.7% (13/134), and 8.2% (11/134), re-spectively. Compared with mid-lower rectal cancer, upper rectal cancer was more prone to metastasis in the abdominal presacral space (19.0% vs. 5.6%, P=0.028). Patients with inguinal lymph node metastasis were more likely to harbor external iliac node metasta-sis (23.1% vs. 1.7%, P=0.006). Conclusions: There is a great difference in the recurrence patterns between upper and mid-lower rectal cancer. As a result, the clinical target volumes of radiation therapy for upper and mid-lower rectal cancer should be defined separately. Optimizing the clinical target volume of radiotherapy will be of great value in the future.
