A Method for Large-scale Identification of Protein Arginine Methylation*
The lack of methods for proteome-scale detection of arginine methylation restricts our knowledge of its relevance in physiological and pathological processes. Here we show that most tryptic peptides containing methylated arginine(s) are highly basic and hydrophilic. Consequently, they could be considerably enriched from total cell extracts by simple protocols using either one of strong cation e...
متن کاملLysine methylation as a routine rescue strategy for protein crystallization.
Crystallization remains a critical step in X-ray structure determination. Because it is not generally possible to rationally predict crystallization conditions, commercial screens have been developed which sample a wide range of crystallization space. While this approach has proved successful in many cases, a significant number of proteins fail to crystallize despite being soluble and monodispe...
متن کاملPost-crystallization treatments for improving diffraction quality of protein crystals.
X-ray crystallography is the most powerful method for determining the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules. One of the major obstacles in the process is the production of high-quality crystals for structure determination. All too often, crystals are produced that are of poor quality and are unsuitable for diffraction studies. This review provides a compilation of post-crysta...
متن کاملDevelopment of an automated large-scale protein-crystallization and monitoring system for high-throughput protein-structure analyses.
Protein crystallization remains one of the bottlenecks in crystallographic analysis of macromolecules. An automated large-scale protein-crystallization system named PXS has been developed consisting of the following subsystems, which proceed in parallel under unified control software: dispensing precipitants and protein solutions, sealing crystallization plates, carrying robot, incubators, obse...
متن کاملAutomated large scale evaluation of protein structure predictions.
Evaluation and assessment are critical issues in CASP experiments. Automated procedures are necessary to compare a large number of predictions with the target folds. The evaluation has to reveal the maximum extent of similarity between predictions and targets, it should be applicable across prediction categories, and it should be transparent and accessible to a wide community. Here we present a...
