The Human Thioredoxin System: Modifications and Clinical Applications
The thioredoxin system, comprising thioredoxin (Trx), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and NADPH, is one of the major cellular antioxidant systems, implicated in a large and growing number of biological functions. Trx acts as an oxidoreductase via a highly conserved dithiol/disulfide motif located in the active site ( Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro- Cys-Lys-). Different factors are involved in the regulation of T...
متن کاملAutomated Identification and Sequencing of Post-Translational Modifications Using PTM Discovery on the 4000 Q TRAP LC/MS/MS System
Overview Protein discovery research most commonly involves the identification and quantification of proteins that are relevant to a given biological state. Crucial to this is the characterization of the post-translational modifications on the proteins of interest. PTMs are covalent modification or processing events that change the properties of a protein through proteolytic cleavage or by addit...
متن کاملPost-Translational Modifications Mapping Protein Networks Disease Proteomics
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) allow the cell to regulate protein activity and play a crucial role in the response to changes in external conditions or internal states. Advances in mass spectrometry now enable proteome wide characterization of PTMs and have revealed a broad functional role for a range of different types of modifications. Here we review advances in the study of ...
متن کاملThe Emerging Immunological Role of Post-Translational Modifications by Reactive Nitrogen Species in Cancer Microenvironment
Under many inflammatory contexts, such as tumor progression, systemic and peripheral immune response is tailored by reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-dependent post-translational modifications, suggesting a biological function for these chemical alterations. RNS modify both soluble factors and receptors essential to induce and maintain a tumor-specific immune response, creating a "chemical barrie...
متن کاملChemical approaches for studying histone modifications.
Histones form the protein core around which genomic DNA is wrapped in eukaryotic chromatin. Numerous genetic studies have established that the structure and transcriptional state of chromatin are closely related to histone post-translational modifications. Further elucidation of the precise mechanistic roles for individual histone modifications requires the ability to isolate and study homogene...
