Regulatory potential of post-translational modifications in bacteria
Bacteria are often viewed as simple organisms, with very basic and robust cellular regulation, optimized for rapid growth. While they certainly fit that description, bacteria also possess an amazing capacity for adaptation, and diversity of survival strategies, including variations of cell morphology, size, mode of growth and developmental behavior. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of pr...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications of transthyretin affect the triiodonine-binding potential
Transthyretin (TTR) is a visceral protein, which facilitates the transport of thyroid hormones in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. The homotetrameric structure of TTR enables the simultaneous binding of two thyroid hormones per molecule. Each TTR subunit provides a single cysteine residue (Cys10 ), which is frequently affected by oxidative post-translational modifications. As Cys10 is part of the...
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 ...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications in nitrile hydratase family
Fe-type nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus sp. N771 has a novel non-heme iron active center with two post-translationally modified cysteine residues, cysteine-sulfenic and -sulfinic acids. The modified residues are involved in the sequence motif, Cys-Xxx-Leu-Cys-Ser-Cys (Xxx = Ser(Fetype)/Thr(Co-type)), which is conserved among all known NHases as well as in the homologous enzyme, thioc...
متن کاملTranslation and post-translational modifications in Plasmodium
Malaria is one of the most important human parasitic diseases in the world, affecting about 400 million people and killing about 1 million children every year. Our relationship with the malarial parasite has been a long one on the evolutionary scale, and the methods adopted by the parasite to thrive and colonize our bodies are truly fascinating. In order to control the disease, it is of fundame...
