Post-translational modification of PII signal transduction proteins
The PII proteins constitute one of the most widely distributed families of signal transduction proteins in nature. They are pivotal players in the control of nitrogen metabolism in bacteria and archaea, and are also found in the plastids of plants. Quite remarkably PII proteins control the activities of a diverse range of enzymes, transcription factors and membrane transport proteins, and in al...
متن کاملPalmitoylation of endothelin receptor A. Differential modulation of signal transduction activity by post-translational modification.
Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and palmitoylation play important roles for the function and regulation of receptors coupled to heterotrimeric guanyl nucleotide-binding proteins. Here we demonstrate that the human endothelin receptor A (ETA) incorporates [3H]palmitate. Mutation of a cluster of five cysteine residues present in the cytoplasmic tail of ETA into serine or ...
متن کاملRARRES3 regulates signal transduction through post-translational protein modifications
We recently reported that retinoic acid receptor responder 3 (RARRES3)-mediated protein deacylation resulted in significant inhibition of the transformed properties of breast cancer cells. This finding suggests a key role of RARRES3 in the regulation of growth signaling and metastasis in cancer cells and as a potential therapeutic target for cancer therapy.
متن کاملComputational Prediction of Post-Translational Modification Sites in Proteins
The last several decades have witnessed rapid progresses in identification and functional analysis of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in proteins. Through temporal and spatial modification of proteins by covalent attachment of additional chemical groups and other small proteins, proteolytic cleavage or intein splicing, PTMs greatly expand the proteome diversity and play important roles ...
متن کاملPost-translational modification and folding of secreted proteins.
The production of a functional protein does not end with the termination of the growing polypeptide chain. This, while clearly true of all proteins, is particularly obvious in the case of secretory proteins. While all proteins must fold to a functional conformation, and many must assemble into some supramolecular structure, secretory proteins must also make their way across membranes and throug...
