Post Translational Modifications

of Proteins
Introduction
• It is the chemical modification of protein after
its translation.
• Key role in functional Proteomics.
• They regulate activity, localization and
interaction with other cellular molecules such
as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and cofactors.
Types of Post Translational
Modifications of Proteins
• Phosphorylation
• Glycosylation
• Ubiquitination
• S-Nitrosylation
• Methylation
• N-Acetylation
• Lipidation
• Proteolysis
Phosphorylation
• Addition of phosphate group to a protein.
• Principally on serine, threonine or tyrosine
residues.
• Also known as Phospho regulation.
• Critical role in cell cycle, growth, apoptosis
and signal transduction pathways.

Protein kinases
ATP + protein ———————> phosphoprotein + ADP
Phosphorylation
Example
Glycosylation
• The covalent attachment of oligosaccharides
• Addition of glycosyl group or carbohydrate
group to a protein.
• Principally on Asparagine, hydroxylysine,
serine or threonine.
• Significant effect on protein folding,
conformation, distribution, stability and
activity.
Example
Classes of Glycans
• N-Linked glycans
– attached to nitrogen of Asparagine or arginine side
chains.
• O-Linked glycans
– attached to hydroxy oxygen of serine,threonine
• Phospho glycans
– linked through the phosphate of serine.
• C-Linked glycans
– Rare form, Sugar is added to a carbon on tryptophan
side chain.
Ubiquitination
• Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein that can
be attached to the proteins and label them for
destruction.
• Effects in cell cycle regulation, control of
proliferation and differentiation, programmed
cell death (apoptosis), DNA repair, immune
and inflammatory processes and organelle
biogenesis.
Ubiquitin cycle
S-Nitrosylation

• Nitrosyl (NO) group is added to the protein.


• NO a chemical messanger that reacts with free
cysteine residues to form S-nitrothiols.
• Used by cells to stabilize proteins, regulate
gene expression.
Alkylation/Methylation
• Addition of methyl group to a protein.
• Usually at lysine or arginine residues.
• Binds on nitrogen and oxygen of proteins
• Methyl donor is S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)
• Enzyme for this is methyltransferase
• Methylation of lysine residues in histones in
DNA is important regulator of chromatin
structure
Example

Where SAM (S-adenosyl methionine) is converted into SAH(S-adenosyl homocysteine)


N-Acetylation
• Addition of acetyl group to the nitrogen.
• Histones are acetylated on lysine residues in
the N-terminal tail as a part of gene
regulation.
• Involved in regulation of transcription factors,
effector proteins, molecular chaperons and
cytoskeletal proteins.
• Methionine aminopeptidase (MAP) is an
enzyme responsible for N-terminal acetylation
Example
Where,
HDACs = Histone deactyllase ,
KATs = N-acetyltransferase.
Lipidation

• Lipidation attachment of a lipid group, such as


a fatty acid, covalently to a protein.
• In general, lipidation helps in cellular
localization and targeting signals, membrane
tethering and as mediator of protein-protein
interactions.
Types of lipidation

• C-terminal glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)


anchor
• N-terminal myristoylation
• S-palmitoylation
• S-prenylation
C-terminal glycosyl
phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

• GPI anchors tether cell surface proteins to the


plasma membrane
• GPI-anchored proteins are often localized to
cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich lipids, which
act as signaling platforms on the plasma
membrane.
N-myristoylation

• It is the attachment of myristoyl group a 14-


carbon saturated fatty acid (C14) to a protein.
• It is facilitated by N-myristoyltransferase (NMT)
and uses myristoyl-CoA as the substrate.
S-palmitoylation

• It is addition of C16 palmitoyl group from


palmitoyl-CoA
• Palmitoyl acyl transferases (PATs) enzyme
favors this step.
• Reversed by thioesterases
S-prenylation

• Addition of a farnesyl (C15) or geranylgeranyl


(C20) group to proteins.
• Enzyme involved in this reaction is farnesyl
transferase (FT) or geranylgeranyl transferases
(GGT I and II).
Disulfide Bonding

• Disulfide bonds are covalent bonds formed


between two cysteine residues (R-S-S-R).
• These bonds contribute to the correct folding of
proteins as other elements of secondary
structure
Disulfide Bonding
Proteolysis

• Cleavage of peptide bonds by proteases.


• Examples of Proteases- Serine Proteases,
Cysteine Proteases, Aspartic acid Proteases.
• Involved in Antigen processing, Apoptosis, Cell
signalling
Identification of modifications

• Mass spectrometry
• HPLC analysis
• Incorporation of radioactive groups by addition to
growing cells
– e.g., 75Se-labeling and chromatographic
isolation of proteins
• Antibody cross-reactivity
– e.g., antibody against phosphotyrosine
• Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)
Identification of modifications

use 2D gel electrophoresis to


detect modified proteins in
whole-cell (or partly purified)
lysates

O-GlcNAc is an abundant modification of nucleocytoplasmic proteins.


Nucleo-cytoplasmic proteins from HeLa cells were immunopurified with an
O-GlcNAc-specific antibody and stringently washed, and the O-GlcNAc-
containing proteins were specifically eluted with free GlcNAc. The resulting
proteins were separated on two-dimensional gels and visualized by silver
staining. pI, isoelectric point; MW, molecular weight.

proteins, much as ligands such as ATP can affect the activity and structure of proteins
