چکیده

We present here a neural network based method for prediction of N-terminal acetylation-by far the most abundant post-translational modification in eukaryotes. The method was developed on a yeast dataset for N-acetyltransferase A (NatA) acetylation, which is the type of N-acetylation for which most examples are known and for which orthologs have been found in several eukaryotes. We obtain correlation coefficients close to 0.7 on yeast data and a sensitivity up to 74% on mammalian data, suggesting that the method is valid for eukaryotic NatA orthologs.

A Novel Method for N-terminal Acetylation Prediction

The NetAcet method has been developed to make predictions of N-terminal acetylation sites, but more information of the data set could be utilized to improve the performance of the model. By employing a new way to extract patterns from sequences and using a sample balancing mechanism, we obtained a correlation coefficient of 0.85, and a sensitivity of 93% on an independent mammalian data set. A ...

Enrichment of N-alpha Terminal Acetylation proteins and their predictions

N-terminal alpha acetylation of proteins belongs to one of the numerous Post– translational modifications. However few study attempted to enrich them at a large scale from eukaryotic cells. We proposed here to use offline SCX chromatography approach to enrich those peptides for further characterization by online RP-LCMS/MS. Using several tissues from Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Saccharomyces ce...

Mining, Analysis and Prediction of Non-Terminal Protein Acetylation Sites

Protein acetylation of lysine residues is a reversible posttranslational modification associated with the substitution of a hydrogen in the -amino group of the side chain by the acetyl group. Lysine acetylation has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular functions, most prominently gene regulation and transcription in eukaryotes. However, its full extent, sequence biases and function...

Prediction of N-acetylation on internal lysines implemented in Bayesian Discriminant Method

Protein acetylation is an important and reversible post-translational modification (PTM), and it governs a variety of cellular dynamics and plasticity. Experimental identification of acetylation sites is labor-intensive and often limited by the availability of reagents such as acetyl-specific antibodies and optimization of enzymatic reactions. Computational analyses may facilitate the identific...

Protein Acetylation in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes

Proteins can be acetylated at the alpha-amino group of the N-terminal amino acid (methionine or the penultimate amino acid after methionine removal) or at the epsilon-amino group of internal lysines. In eukaryotes the majority of proteins are N-terminally acetylated, while this is extremely rare in bacteria. A variety of studies about N-terminal acetylation in archaea have been reported recentl...
