Post-translational modifications of protein biopharmaceuticals.
نویسنده
چکیده
The majority of therapeutic proteins display one or more post-translational modifications (PTMs). These modifications normally influence the biochemical and therapeutic properties of such proteins. Choosing an expression system capable of generating an appropriate product PTM profile remains one of the most crucial decisions a drug developer must make. This review considers the PTMs most often associated with therapeutic proteins and focuses upon more recent advances in engineering PTMs with the aim of improving the application-relevant functional characteristics of these drugs.

Post-Translational Modifications in the Context of Therapeutic Proteins: An Introductory Overview
Many proteins, particularly those derived from eukaryotic sources, undergo covalent modification either during their ribosomal synthesis or (more usually) after synthesis is complete, giving rise to the concept of co-translational and post-translational modification. While the stage during protein synthesis/maturation at which the coor post-translational modification occurs obviously differs, b...

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 کاملAuthor's personal copy Moss bioreactors producing improved biopharmaceuticals
Plants may serve as superior production systems for complex recombinant pharmaceuticals. Current strategies for improving plant-based systems include the development of large-scale production facilities as well as the optimisation of protein modifications. While post-translational modifications of plant proteins generally resemble those of mammalian proteins, certain plant-specific protein-link...
