Post Translational Modifications
Post translational modifications (PTMs) are biochemical alterations to one or more amino acids of a protein. PTMs, which occur after protein translation, can have profound effects on the protein's function, interactions, half-life, and subcellular location. Thus, PTMs expand the human proteome from ~20,000 nonmodified canonical proteins to an estimated 1 million – 1 billion different protein species1,2,3.
RayBio® PTM Assays
RayBio® products enable high throughput analyses of PTMs, including phosphorylation, glycosylation, methylation, acetylation, nitration, hydroxylation, proteolytic cleavage (e.g., caspases), and carbonylation.
Phosphorylation
Covalent addition of a phosphoryl group (-PO3-), most often to a serine, threonine, or tyrosine residue.
Glycosylation
Covalent addition of a sugar molecule, often classified by the atom to which it binds (e.g., N-linked, O-linked).
Methylation
Covalent addition of one to three methyl groups to an amino acid.
Acetylation
Covalent addition of an acetyl group to primary amino groups, hydroxyl groups, or sulfhydryl groups.
Nitration
Covalent addition of a nitro group (-NO2) to tyrosine, tryptophan, cysteine, or methionine residues.
Hydroxylation
Covalent attachment of a hydroxyl group (-OH), which most often occurs on proline.
Proteolytic Cleavage
Formation of shorter protein chains by breaking peptide bonds.
Carbonylation
Covalent adduction of lipid aldehydes to lysine, histidine, or cysteine.
