Do you know if a structure of any of these proteins is published anywhere? I checked the PDB, but didn't find anything.
People used to (very reasonably) assume that 'disordered' just meant totally random, so the thought was these disordered proteins behaved like a random polymer. However, just like in folded proteins, the amino acid sequence of these IDPs has a major impact on the way these clouds of conformations behave. Happy to discuss more here or 'offline' (see my profile for contact info) - this is basically my whole PhD, so, you know, I can go more in depth...
Check out http://kumamushi.org for a lot if technical detail in the genome. jfarlow in comments below points to one of the interesting proteins that apparently provides dna protection.
