Oh this is so good, please read it.
"If we want literate citizens, we will have to rebuild the conditions for literacy deliberately, against the grain of every incentive currently pointed the other way. I know the academy has the will to do that. It also has the obligation." ๐

Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3โฒUTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.

Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants - PGRP2026
The TPJ Fellowship scheme was first launched in 2020, and we are pleased to announce that we have now opened applications for the 2026 TPJ Fellowship scheme.

Highly conserved mRNA 3โฒ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically
disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis
of fully active proteins.
