Posttranslational Modification of Proteins: Expanding Nature's Inventory

Book Description

More than five percent of the genes in higher eukaryotic genomes encode enzymes that posttranslationally modify proteins, greatly expanding the complexity and diversity of proteomes. This book examines the molecular logic of the major types of covalent modifications of proteins and their biological consequences.

Book Description

This work presents the general biological principles--and the chemical and physical concepts-- needed for an understanding of the post- and co-translational modification of proteins, a fundamental topic in the science of protein biochemistry and molecular biology. Examples of the different
types of modification reactions (glycosylation, phosphorylation, prenylation, etc.) are presented to illustrate specific points, and the book is intended to serve as a principles-based guide for studying the subject, whether in the classroom or research laboratory. In addition to its value as a
timely overview of a broad, vitally important area, the book can be used in advanced courses on signal transduction, enzymology, and protein chemistry, or as a supplementary text for biochemistry or molecular biology.

Book Description

Life on earth almost exclusively uses laevorotatory or left-handed amino acids (L-enantiomers), rather than D-enantiomers. Nevertheless, with improved analytical methods, D-amino acids have been detected in a variety of peptides of multicellular organisms during recent years. This book takes stock of our present knowledge in this rapidly expanding research area. In a series of chapters it discusses the characterization and analysis of D-amino acids, their occurrence and function in animal peptides and proteins, some possible biosynthetic pathways, and their appearance during ageing. Notably, one chapter approaches the puzzling question of homochirality and life.

Book Description

Recent developments have shown that proteins can undergo a diverse range of modifications by lipid which can dramatically effect their structural and functional properties. These modifications include acylation, isoprenylation, and the attachment of glycolipid. Lipid modifications of proteins play important roles in cellular signalling, protein targeting and cellular growth and differentiation - the enzymes which catalyse these reactions are alreadt being seen as novel therapeutic targets. The biochemical, cell biological, and molecular biological techniques being used in this rapidly expanding field are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Lipid Modification of Proteins: A Practical Approach is a unique guide to the latest methods in use, written by the acknowledged experts in the field. Detailed protocols are provided for all the key techniques, and the relevant background material is included. This book will be an essential manual for a wide range of scientists studying the modification of protein by lipids, including membrane and protein biochemists, cell biologists, immunologists, bacteriologists, parasitologists, and virologists.

Book Description

The only comprehensive one-volume work describing protein-bound lipids Lipid Modifications of Proteins is the first single-volume publication to provide a comprehensive discussion of the five major kinds of protein-bound lipids. The book examines the biochemical activities involved in covalent attachment of different kinds of lipids to proteins, and it indicates the extent of lipid modifications to proteins. The book also thoroughly evaluates current hypotheses on roles of covalent lipids in protein structure and function. This one-of-a-kind volume is essential for molecular biologists, cell biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, microbiologists, and other researchers interested in the effect of lipids on proteins.

Book Description

Mechanisms of Intracellular Trafficking and Processing of ProProteins provides an in-depth discussion of the cellular organization and current views of the molecular mechanisms underlying the trafficking, sorting, and processing of various classes of proproteins. The book covers the mechanisms of pro-protein translocation across the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane and subsequent transport to the Golgi apparatus, molecular sorting and retention signals involved in directing pro-proteins to various cellular compartments, and the specific enzymes mediating different posttranslational modification steps. It is the only book that covers the principles of intracellular trafficking and processing of proproteins using examples representative of different classes of proproteins in the cell. New classes of enzymes, especially proteases with unique specificities, are examined as well. Mechanisms of Intracellular Trafficking and Processing of ProProteins presents a wealth of information valuable to cell biologists, endocrinologists, neurobiologists, enzymologists, and biochemists. Students studying molecular endocrinology, neurobiology, and cell biology will also find the book to be a useful text.

Book Description

Post - Translational Modification: A Practical Approach and its companion volume Protein Expression: A Practical Approach form the final part of the PAS mini-series on protein synthesis and processing. This volume begins with a chapter on protein sequencing followed by a chapter on protein folding and import into organelles. The next three chapters cover the three major forms of covalent modification: phosphorylation, glycosylation, and lipid modification. Proteolytic processing the is the next topic and the final two chapters are concerned with protein turnover in mammalian cells and yeast. This book is a comprehensive volume of the best current methodology and is designed to be used at the bench or away from the bench to gain insight into future experimental approached.

Essential Grammar in Use.......2007-06-10

A very good explanation of various grammar points. The exercises that go with the explanations helps to reinforce the rules of grammar. An excellent homework resource, not just ESL students, but also for native speakers of English.

Excellent resource book to have.......2006-11-06

The book is great. Very useful for English learners and also teachers of English language. Its user friendly and I fully recommend it.

Very Good Book.......2006-07-03

I used this book in Brazil when I was learning english; now I bought the book to help a second language student! Thanks

disappointing.......2006-06-29

I was so disappointed by this book considering the reviews. Very little if any explanations, nearly all repetitive exercises of the most basic level and no progressive route. A student would struggle to see the point. A teacher would find it boring and simple to a level below elementary.As a teacher and student, I found it both.

Great resource, especially for beginning teachers.......2006-03-21

I used an earlier version of this book for several years while teaching English as a second language in Latvia and found it extremely helpful. It's well organized, so you can quickly find the construction you want to teach or understand better. The explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are good and easy to use with students.

Superb.......2007-07-05

I have been using the 2nd edition of this book to tutor my brother-in-law and his wife. They've enjoyed the book, but recently, I decided to "upgrade". The book arrived in the mail 2 days ago, and I am absolutely astounded. It's in colour. It's got nicer drawings. It's got the same great format. It's got an even better organization. It's still got a smattering of British-only usages, but I've always thought this more of a feature than a bug, and besides, how hard is it to just say, "Americans say it this way instead"?

I'm impressed with the book, and excited to start using it. Highly recommended for autodidacts and tutoring situations.
