Posttranslational Modifications of Proopiomelanocortin in Vertebrates and Their Biological Significance
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several peptide hormones generated in the pituitary gland. After biosynthesis, POMC undergoes several posttranslational modifications, including proteolytic cleavage, acetylation, amidation, phosphorylation, glycosylation, and disulfide linkage formation, which generate mature POMC-derived peptides. Therefore, POMC is a useful model for the investi...
متن کاملPosttranslational heterocyclization of cysteine and serine residues in the antibiotic microcin B17: distributivity and directionality.
To produce the antibiotic Microcin B17, four Cys and four Ser residues are converted into four thiazoles and four oxazoles by the three subunit Microcin B17 synthetase. High-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) was used to monitor the kinetics of posttranslational heterocyclic ring formation (-20 Da per ring) and demonstrated the accumulation of all intermediates, from one to seven rings, indicati...
متن کاملFragments of the Bacterial Toxin Microcin B17 as Gyrase Poisons
Fluoroquinolones are very important drugs in the clinical antibacterial arsenal; their success is principally due to their mode of action: the stabilisation of a gyrase-DNA intermediate (the cleavage complex), which triggers a chain of events leading to cell death. Microcin B17 (MccB17) is a modified peptide bacterial toxin that acts by a similar mode of action, but is unfortunately unsuitable ...
متن کاملTranscriptional and posttranslational modifications of titin: implications for diastole.
Myocardial diastolic stiffness has been variably attributed to extracellular matrix composition, cytoskeletal properties of cardiomyocytes, or residual diastolic crossbridge cycling because of incomplete relaxation or cytosolic calcium removal.1 Extracellular matrix and cardiomyocyte cytoskeleton are presumed to mediate chronic rises in myocardial diastolic stiffness, as occur during aging, pre...
متن کاملPosttranslational modifications of Rab GTPases help their insertion into membranes.
G TPases of the Rab family, which comprises more than 60 members in mammals, have emerged as key regulators of virtually all transport steps between intracellular compartments. By interacting with a diverse range of effector proteins, such as lipid kinases and phosphatases, molecular motors, tethering factors, and scaffolding proteins, they regulate the formation of transport carriers from dono...
