- 6. A LITTLE BACKGROUND: PROTEINS Plays a very significant role in the structural and functional organization of any cell. Translation is the final stage of gene expression and synthesize the immature protein. Many transmembrane or secretory preproteins have an N-terminal signal peptide. A signal peptide is recognized by a SRP that binds the translocon. 6
- 7. WHAT THE POST TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION IS??? Post translational modification (PTM) is the chemical modification of a protein after its translation. OR The chemical modifications that take place at certain amino acid residues after the protein is synthesized by translation are known as post-translational modifications. These are essential for normal functioning of the protein. PTMS occur mostly in E.R and golgi apparatus. 7

Editor's Notes
- Protein translation: The process by which the mRNA template is read by ribosomes to synthesize the corresponding protein molecule on the basis of the three letter codons, which code for specific amino acids.
- SRP: Signal Recognition Particle. N terminal signal peptide is also known as Leader sequence. It is hydrophobic amino acid chain present in nascent state configuration of proteins. After formation, a protein moves from ribosome to ER where SRP recognizes the signal peptide. Protein passes through a channel of proteins called TRANSLOCON present on the ER membrane and in prokaryotes it is present on plasma membrane. Here in ER the signal peptide is cleaved by signal peptidase.
- Stability of protein is done mainly by folding process in which nascent state is converted into native state of protein. Biochemical activity regulation means proteins are activated inside the cell whenever they are required otherwise they remain inactive. This is only possible by post translational modifications.
- N-glycosylation is the addition of carbohydrate occurs on amino group of amino acids. O-glycosylation is the addition of carbohydrate occurs on hydroxyl group of amino acids. GPI: glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol
- Enzymatic Cleavage by the use of enzymes i.e. Trypsin, Chymotrypsin Non-enzymatic cleavage by the use of chemicals or heat i.e Cyanogen Bromide is often used to cleave the peptide bond after a methionine.
- 1st step: disulphide bond formation 2nd step: Removal of leader sequence by signal peptidase. 3rd step: Cleavage of C peptide (C for connecting) and formation of active fragment insulin.
- The peptide bond of Proline with other amino acids is in cis form. During folding this cis bond is converted to trans form by an enzyme prolyl isomerase.
- Prenylation: Addition of isoprenoid units. It is also called lipidation. ADP Ribosylation: Addition of one or more ADP ribose moieties to a protein.Cholera toxin ADP-ribosylates G proteins causing massive fluid secretion from the lining of the small intestine, resulting in life-threatening diarrhea.
- Phosphorylation is done by protein kinases and it mainly activates the proteins like in case of signaling proteins. While phosphatases dephosphorylate the protein mainly resulting in inactivation of protein. Ubiquitin is small 8.5 kDa protein that attaches preferably at lusine residue by help of E3 ligase. i.e. ubiquitination of histone protein
- PAD: peptidyl arginine deiminase
- There are two classes of chaperons: Molecular chaperones that only prevent improper folding. Chaperonins or Heat shock proteins which are also involved in proper folding of a protein.
- The DNA with coding regions for inteins are transcribed into mRNA and translated into a premature protein. A protein is not fully mature until a intein is excised from the protein.
- DOD = dodecapeptide The type of the splicing proteins is categorized into four classes: maxi-intein, mini-intein, trans-splicing intein, and alanine intein. The maxi-inteins are N- and C-terminal splicing domains containing an endonuclease domain. The mini-inteins are typical N- and C-terminal splicing domains; however, the endonuclease domain is not present. The trans-splicing inteins are split inteins which are divided into N-termini and C-termini. Alanine inteins have the splicing junction of an alanine instead of a cysteine or a serine, in both of which the protein splicing occurs.
- Like introns within an RNA precursor, inteins are found within a mRNA strand. Just as introns are connected to RNA splicing, inteins are connected to protein splicing.
- One of the best understood posttranslational modifications is the reversible phosphorylation of proteins at serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues. These phosphoamino acids are relatively stable in acidic solutions.
- 2. Immunoblotting: This process, also known as Western blotting, is a commonly used analytical technique for detection of specific proteins in a given mixture by means of specific antibodies to the given target protein. Protein mixture containing phosphorylated as well as other unmodified proteins can be separated by a suitable electrophoresis technique. SDS-PAGE and two dimensional gel electrophoresis are most commonly used for protein separation. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D electrophoresis) separate proteins in two steps, according to two independent properties: the first-dimension is isoelectric focusing (IEF), which separates proteins according to their isoelectric points (pI); the second-dimension is SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), which separates proteins according to their molecular weights (MW).
- The separated protein bands are then blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. These membranes are then probed by means of specific anti-phospho-amino acid antibodies that specifically bind to proteins having phosphorylation at a particular amino acid residue. This binding interaction can then be detected by means of suitably labeled secondary antibodies or by autoradiography using a radioactive probe.
- MALDI-TOF-MS: A mass spectrometry instrument that produces charged molecular species in vacuum, separates them by means of electric and magnetic fields and measures the mass-to-charge ratios and relative abundances of the ions thus produced. In MALDI-TOF-MS, the ion source used is MALDI. The Time-of-Flight mass analyzer correlates the flight time of the ion from the source to the detector with the m/z of the ion. The modified protein of interest is digested into smaller peptide fragments using a suitable enzyme like trypsin. This digest is then mixed with a suitable organic matrix such as a-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, sinapinic acid etc. and then spotted on to a MALDI plate.
- The target plate containing the spotted matrix and analyte is placed in a vacuum chamber with high voltage . The laser energy gets absorbed by the matrix and is transferred to the analyte molecules which undergo rapid sublimation resulting in gas phase ions. These ions are accelerated and travel through the flight tube at different rates. The lighter ions move rapidly and reach the detector first while the heavier ions migrate slowly. The ions are resolved and detected on the basis of their m/z ratios and a mass spectrum is generated.
- Protein microarrays: These are miniaturized arrays normally made of glass, onto which small quantities of many proteins can be simultaneously immobilized and analyzed. Potential substrates for protein phosphorylation are immobilized on a suitably coated array surface. To this, kinase enzyme and gamma P-32 labeled ATP are then added and the array is incubated at 30oC. The phosphorylation reaction occurs at those sites containing proteins that can be modified.
- After sufficient incubation, excess unbound ATP and enzyme are washed off the array surface. Detection is carried out by means of autoradiography. The radioactive emissions from the phosphate label present at the phosphorylated protein sites strike the film. Upon development, the positions at which phosphorylation has occurred can be clearly determined.
- “Classical system” utilizes NTPs as phosphoryl donors and leads to protein modification at Ser/Thr or Tyr residues. “Two-component system” requires first a sensor kinase which autophosphorylates at a His residue at the expense of ATP, then in turn a response regulator is modified at an Asp residue and thereafter induces a metabolic change within cell. “PTS system” use PEP to generate a phosphoryl group which is passed down a chain of several proteins and finally transferred to a sugar. Cleavages of N-terminal f- methionine residues: the formyl group of f-met is removed by deformylase. The initiating met residue of some polypeptides may also be removed by methionine aminopeptidase.
