Consequences of Disease-causing Mutations on Lubricin Protein Synthesis, Secretion, and Post-translational Processing [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Lubricin, a protein product of the gene PRG4, is a secreted mucin-like proteoglycan that is a major lubricant in articulating joints. Mutations in PRG4 cause the autosomal recessive, human disorder camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome.

Inflammasome activation controlled by the interplay between post-translational modifications: emerging drug target opportunities

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2021
Controlling the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by post-translational modifications (PTMs) of critical protein subunits has emerged as a key determinant in inflammatory processes as well as in pathophysiology. In this review, we put into context the

Poly ADP-ribosylation of proteins. Processivity of a post-translational modification.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 1989
The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) participates in DNA excision repair by post-translational selfmodification ("automodification") and the modification of other chromatin proteins ("heteromodification") with ADP-ribose polymers.

How can platelet proteomics best be used to interrogate disease?

Platelets, 2023
Various modifications of proteins and the resulting proteoforms of a protein can associate with many diseases and are also significantly involved in the rapid regulation of hemostasis and thrombosis.

STAT3 as a mediator of oncogenic cellular metabolism: Pathogenic and therapeutic implications

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2021
The oncogenic transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated constitutively in a wide array of human cancers. It is an appealing molecular target for novel therapy as it directly regulates expression of genes

Nonsynonymous Mutations in Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder Gene PTCHD1 Disrupt N-Glycosylation and Reduce Protein Stability

Cells
PTCHD1 has been implicated in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) and/or intellectual disability, where copy-number-variant losses or loss-of-function coding mutations segregate with disease in an X-linked recessive fashion. Missense variants of PTCHD1 have

Mass spectrometry quantification of clusterin in the human brain

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2012
Background The multifunctional glycoprotein clusterin has been associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Further investigation to define the role of clusterin in AD phenotypes would be aided by the development of techniques to quantify level ...

Glycosylation and S-palmitoylation regulate SARS-CoV-2 spike protein intracellular trafficking

iScience, 2022
Summary: Post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as glycosylation and palmitoylation, are critical to protein folding, stability, intracellular trafficking, and function.

New mechanism for post-translational processing during assembly of a cytoplasmic membrane protein? [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1981
Insertion of nitrate reductase into the Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane was examined by following the fate of pulse-labeled enzyme in both the membrane and cytoplasm during various times after the addition of an unlabeled chase. The polypeptide composition of this labeled enzyme was determined by autoradiography of immunoprecipitated material ...

Rescue of Heart Failure by Mitochondrial Recovery [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal, 2016
Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial disease brought about by numerous, and oftentimes complex, etiological mechanisms. Although well studied, HF continues to affect millions of people worldwide and current treatments can only prevent further ...
