چکیده
We report the synthesis and genetic encoding of a recently discovered post-translational modification, 2-hydroxyisobutyryl-lysine, to the genetic code of E. coli. The production of homogeneous proteins containing this amino acid will facilitate the study of modification in full-length proteins.

Genetic Incorporation of ε-N-2-Hydroxyisobutyryl-lysine into Recombinant Histones.
Here, we report the evolution of an orthogonal amber suppressor pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS)/tRNACUA(Pyl) pair that genetically encodes the post-translationally modified amino acid, ε-N-2-hydroxyisobutyryl-lysine (HibK), in bacteria and mammalian cells. HibK is a new type of histone mark that is widely distributed in histone proteins. The ability to site-specifically incorporate HibK into...
متن کاملHistone Acylation beyond Acetylation: Terra Incognita in Chromatin Biology
Histone acetylation, one of the first and best studied histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), as well as the factors involved in its deposition (writers), binding (readers) and removal (erasers), have been shown to act at the heart of regulatory circuits controlling essential cellular functions. The identification of a variety of competing histone lysine-modifying acyl groups includin...
متن کاملNovel lysine methyltransferases in hyperthermophilic crenarchaea
Background Methylation is a common post-translational modification. In proteins, it usually occurs at positively charged lysine or arginine residues and results in an increase to the residue’s pKa and therefore the strength of ionic interactions linked to this residue. Consequently, methylation can be seen as a means by which hydrophilicity, solubility and other protein characteristics can be c...
متن کاملPrediction of lysine post-translational modifications using bioinformatic tools.
Our understanding of the importance of lysine post-translational modifications in mediating protein function has led to a significant improvement in the experimental tools aimed at characterizing their existence. Nevertheless, it remains likely that at present we have only experimentally detected a small fraction of all lysine modification sites across the commonly studied proteomes. As a resul...
متن کاملLysine carboxylation: unveiling a spontaneous post-translational modification.
The carboxylation of lysine residues is a post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a critical role in the catalytic mechanisms of several important enzymes. It occurs spontaneously under certain physicochemical conditions, but is difficult to detect experimentally. Its full impact is unknown. In this work, the signature microenvironment of lysine-carboxylation sites has been characteriz...
