This is all part of a bigger story related to the IDR "specificity code" and the IDR sequence-function relationship, and provides compelling evidence that specificity can be encoded within the chemical patterns of amino acids and the multivalent networks they enable.

This work builds off of my lab's 2023 paper that demonstrated selective and functional partitioning of positive regulators of transcription by patterened charge blocks

Functional partitioning of transcriptional regulators by patterned charge blocks
Charge patterning in disordered regions of transcriptional regulators mediates selective partitioning into MED1IDR condensates for gene activation.

As the model only accounts for multivalent interactions among polymers, the accuracy of its predictions demonstrates that specificity can arise directly from multivalent contacts among disordered regions without needing to invoke ordered-structure-mediated interactions
