Polyglutamine tract‐binding protein 1 ( PQBP 1) is an intrinsically disordered protein composed of a small folded WW domain and a long disordered region. PQBP 1 binds to spliceosomal proteins WBP 11 and U5‐15kD through its N‐terminal WW domain and C‐terminal region, respectively. Here, we reveal that the binding between PQBP 1 and WBP 11 reduces the binding affinity between PQBP 1 and U5‐15kD. Our results suggest that the interaction between PQBP 1 and WBP 11 negatively modulates the U5‐15kD binding of PQBP 1 by an allosteric mechanism.
