Deamidation of human proteins.

چکیده
Deamidation of asparaginyl and glutaminyl residues causes time-dependent changes in charge and conformation of peptides and proteins. Quantitative and experimentally verified predictive calculations of the deamidation rates of 1,371 asparaginyl residues in a representative collection of 126 human proteins have been performed. These rates suggest that deamidation is a biologically relevant phenomenon in a remarkably large percentage of human proteins.

Control of Cellular Bcl-xL Levels by Deamidation-Regulated Degradation
The cellular concentration of Bcl-xL is among the most important determinants of treatment response and overall prognosis in a broad range of tumors as well as an important determinant of the cellular response to several forms of tissue injury. We and others have previously shown that human Bcl-xL undergoes deamidation at two asparaginyl residues and that DNA-damaging antineoplastic agents as w...
متن کاملStructural Effects of Protein Aging: Terminal Marking by Deamidation in Human Triosephosphate Isomerase
Deamidation, the loss of the ammonium group of asparagine and glutamine to form aspartic and glutamic acid, is one of the most commonly occurring post-translational modifications in proteins. Since deamidation rates are encoded in the protein structure, it has been proposed that they can serve as molecular clocks for the timing of biological processes such as protein turnover, development and a...
متن کاملDeamidation of human erythrocyte protein 4.1: possible role in aging.
The human erythrocyte membrane protein 4.1 exists in two major electrophoretic forms: 4.1a (80 Kd) and 4.1b (78 Kd). Mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis of the proteolytic peptides derived from carboxyl-terminal regions of these proteins indicate that they differ by deamidation of two aspargine residues at positions 478 and 502. Electrophoretic analysis of carboxyl-terminal peptides has s...
متن کاملPeptidoglutaminase Deamidation of Proteins and Protein Hydrolysates for Improved Food
The limited deamidating ability of peptidoglutaminase {PGase) toward intact food proteins (0-6% deamidation) can be significantly enhanced by prior protein hydrolysis and altering protein conformation by such means as moist heat. PGase deamidation increases protein solubility and improves emulsifying and other physical properties under mildly acidic conditions. A batch reactor method was develo...
متن کاملA chimeric IgE that mimics IgE from patients allergic to acid-hydrolyzed wheat proteins is a novel tool for in vitro allergenicity assessment of functionalized glutens
BACKGROUND Acid-hydrolyzed wheat proteins (acid-HWPs) have been shown to provoke severe allergic reactions in Europe and Japan that are distinct from classical wheat allergies. Acid-HWPs were shown to contain neo-epitopes induced by the deamidation of gluten proteins. However, products with variable rates of deamidation can be found. OBJECTIVES In this work, we studied the effect of the exten...
