Post-translational Modifications of the Protein Termini
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Post-translational modifications (PTM) involve enzyme-mediated covalent addition of functional groups to proteins during or after synthesis. These modifications greatly increase biological complexity and are responsible for orders of magnitude change ...

Post-translational modifications of microtubules [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2010 Microtubules – polymers of tubulin – perform essential functions, including regulation of cell shape, intracellular transport and cell motility. How microtubules are adapted to perform multiple diverse functions is not well understood. Post-translational modifications of tubulin subunits diversify the outer and luminal surfaces of microtubules and ...

Oxidatively Modified Proteins: Cause and Control of Diseases
Applied Sciences, 2020 Proteins succumb to numerous post-translational modifications (PTMs). These relate to enzymatic or non-enzymatic reactions taking place in either the intracellular or extracellular compartment.

Post-translational modification by SUMO [PDF]
Toxicology, 2010 Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are chemical alterations to a protein following translation, regulating stability and function. Reversible phosphorylation is an example of an important and well studied PTM involved in a number of cellular processes.

Post translational modification of Parkin [PDF]
Biology Direct, 2017 Mutations in the gene encoding for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin are associated to a rare form of familiar autosomal recessive Parkinsonism. Despite decades of research on the Parkin protein, whose structure has been recently solved, little is known about the specific signalling pathways that lead to Parkin activation.

Post-translational modifications on the retinoblastoma protein
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2022 The retinoblastoma protein (pRb) functions as a cell cycle regulator controlling G1 to S phase transition and plays critical roles in tumour suppression. It is frequently inactivated in various tumours.

Post-translational modifications of tubulin [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Microtubules are the largest filamentous components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. In spite of their extraordinary level of structural conservation, microtubules fulfill a vast range of different functions in cells. How this functional diversity is achieved remains an open question; however, recent advances point towards post-translational ...

Post-translational modifications of EZH2 in cancer
Cell & Bioscience, 2020 Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), as a main component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, catalyzes histone H3K27me3 to silence its target gene expression. EZH2 upregulation results in cancer development and poor prognosis of cancer patients.

Post-translational protein modifications in schizophrenia [PDF]
npj Schizophrenia, 2020 AbstractResearch investigating the pathophysiology of schizophrenia has not yet precisely defined the molecular phenotype of this disorder. Many studies have investigated cellular dysfunction by examining expression levels of molecular targets in postmortem patient brain; however, inconsistencies between transcript and protein measures in schizophrenia
