Proteins methylation

Histone methylation participates in the regulation of gene expression patterns. Unlike histone acetylation, histone methylation does not alter the charge of the amino acid and hence the histone tail. There are changes in the basicity and the hydrophobicity which are relatively small when viewed at the scale of the histone but still influence the affinity of the histone tails to certain proteins, for example transcription factors, which in turn result in certain signaling events. The histone methyltransferases are usually subdivided into three classes SET domain lysine methyltransfeases, nonSET domain lysine methyltransferases and arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). All of them utilize S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as cosubstrate for the methylation reaction [Pg.251]

N-terminal methylation of proteins is possible and can play a major role in mitosis. Chen etal. discovered that the N-terminal serine or proline of regulator of chromatin condensation 1 (RCCl) is methylated. RCCl associates with chromatin, binding to histones H2 A and H2B, regulated by Ran, a GTPase. " For methylation to occur, the initiating methionine must be removed and a proline and lysine must be at positions 3 and 4, respectively. If RCCl is N-terminal methylation deficient, its binding to histones loses efficiency, which can cause spindle pole defects and ultimately cause problems in cell division. This work suggests the first known function for N-terminal protein methylation. ... [Pg.446]

Protein methylation is one of the most common protein modifications found in a wide range of prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins that are involved either in regulation of transcription or in translation. Several amino acids can be modified, mainly by either N-methylation or C-methylation. Protein methylation has been... [Pg.35]

Conventional uses of methanol account for 90% of present consumption and include formaldehyde, dimethyl terephthalate, methyl methacrylate, methyl halides, methylamines and various solvent and other applications. Newer uses for methanol that have revitalized its growth and outlook include a new technology for acetic acid, single cell protein, methyl tertiary butyl ether-(MTBE), and water denitrification. Potential uses for methanol include its use as a carrier for coal in pipelines, as a source of hydrogen or synthesis gas used in direct reduction of iron ore, as a direct additive to or a feedstock for gasoline, peak power shaving and other fuel related possibilities. Table II lists the world methanol demand by end use in 1979. [Pg.31]

Fig. 3.1 Metabolomics of Hey. During gene and protein methylation, S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) is generated by methyl transferase and methionine. SAH hydrolase (SAHH) generates Hey. DZA blocks SAHH, otherwise Hey induces NOS, NADH oxidase and decreases thioredoxin in mitochondria. Hey inhibits DDAH and increases ADMA causing decrease in NO. Deficiency in MTHFR and CBS increases Hey. The decrease in kidney ability to filter increases Hey. Fig. 3.1 Metabolomics of Hey.

The effect of protein methylation (20% modification) on the stability of casein micelles was evaluated. The stability of the clJk micelle system towards Ca2+ precipitation was decreased when either or both proteins were methylated (see Figure 1). Methylation also resulted in a slight reduction in the stability of the /3-k casein micelle system (see Figure 2). [Pg.129]

Outside of yeast, evidence for the importance of CAAX protein methylation was more difficult to come by, due to the fact that the farnesylated and proteolyzed Ras would be methylated immediately making it difficult to assess the functional impact of methylation [23]. Most evidence before the mammalian genes were identified and disrupted came from inhibition of this methylation step by using substrate mimics such as A-acetyl-5-famesylcysteine (AFC). [Pg.262]

Protein methylation reactions can be separated into two major classes. The first class involves methyl ester formation on carboxylic acid groups. These methylation reactions are generally reversible and at least one of their functions is similar to that of protein phosphorylation reactions in switching a modified species from one type of activity to another. However, other types of methyl esterification reactions appear to play more novel roles in the metabolism of aging proteins and in the targeting of proteins to membranes. [Pg.288]

Much of the work in this area prior to 1980 has been reviewed by Woon Ki Paik and Sangduk Kim in a monograph Protein Methylation (Paik and Kim, 1980). This work remains an excellent source for both a historical view of this field and for a discussion of the results obtained in the initial investigations. [Pg.289]
