Lysine post-translational modifications of collagen.
Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein in vertebrates. It is a heterotrimeric molecule composed of two α1 chains and one α2 chain, forming a long uninterrupted triple helical structure with short non-triple helical telopeptides at both the N- and C-termini. During biosynthesis, collagen acquires a number of post-translational modifications, including lysine modifications, that ...
متن کاملLysine post-translational modifications and the cytoskeleton.
PTMs (post-translational modifications) of lysine residues have proven to be major regulators of gene expression, protein-protein interactions, and protein processing and degradation. This is of particular importance in regulating the cytoskeleton, an enormously complex system of proteins responsible for cell motility, intracellular trafficking, and maintenance of cell form and structure. The c...
متن کاملPrediction of lysine post-translational modifications using bioinformatic tools.
Our understanding of the importance of lysine post-translational modifications in mediating protein function has led to a significant improvement in the experimental tools aimed at characterizing their existence. Nevertheless, it remains likely that at present we have only experimentally detected a small fraction of all lysine modification sites across the commonly studied proteomes. As a resul...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications of lysine in DNA-damage repair.
DNA damage in cells is often the result of constant genotoxic insult. Nevertheless, efficient DNA repair pathways are able to maintain genomic integrity. Over the past decade it has been revealed that it is not only kinase signalling pathways which play a central role in this process, but also the different post-translational modifications at lysine residues of histone (chromatin) and non-histo...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications of tubulin
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 modifications (PTMs) of tubulin as a potent mechanism ...
