Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin, including acetylation, glutamylation and detyrosination, play a critical role in dictating the dynamic behaviour and specialised functions of ...

Protein AMPylation represents a specialised post‐translational modification (PTM) in which an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) moiety is covalently attached to specific amino acid residues on target ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular ...

An Iowa State University research team has discovered a method for modifying the function of an enzyme crucial to fat production, which could lead to more effective treatments for childhood obesity ...

One of the first things that students learn when they enter a biology class is the central dogma: DNA → messenger RNA → proteins. Only about 3% of the human genome directly codes for proteins, which ...
