Abstract: O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) performed by O-GlcNAc trans- ferase (OGT) is a nutrient-responsive post-translational modification (PTM) via the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). Various transcription factors (TFs) are O-GlcNAcylated, affecting their activities and significantly contributing to cellular processes ranging from survival to cellular dif- ferentiation. Given the pleiotropic functions of O-GlcNAc modification, it has been studied in various fields; however, the role of O-GlcNAcylation during osteoclast differentiation remains to be explored. Kinetic transcriptome analysis during receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation revealed that the nexus of major nutri- ent metabolism, HBP was critical for this process. We observed that the critical genes related to HBP Citation: Kim, M.J.; Kim, H.S.; activation, including Nagk, Gfpt1, and Ogt, were upregulated, while the global O-GlcNAcylation was Lee, S.; Min, K.Y.; Choi, W.S.; You, J.S.

  • 5 Inhibitors of Protein Synthesis
    5 Inhibitors of protein synthesis Many antimicrobial substances inhibit protein biosynthesis. In most cases the inhibition involved one or other of the events which take place on the ribosomes. Only a few agents inhibit either amino acid activation or the attachment of the activated amino acid to the terminal adenylic acid residue of transfer RNA (tRNA). There are many chemical types to be found among the inhibitors of prolein synthesis, a fa ct which has increased the difficulty of unders tanding the molecular nature of their inhibitory effects. Indeed, while the reaction which is inhibited has been ideIHified with some precision in certain instances, the nature of the molecular interaction between the sensitive site and inhibi tor remains generally elusive. The reason lies in the complexity of the reactions leading to the for mation of correctly sequenced polypeptides on the ribosome and also in the complex. ity of the structure of the ribosome itself. Our intention is to provide an outline of the current knowledge of the steps in protein biosynthesis. More detailed discussion is given to those specific reactions which are blocked by the inhibitors of protein biosynthesis. RIBOSOMES These remarkable organelles are the machines upon which polypeptides are elaborated. There are three main classes of ribosomes identified by their sedimentation coefficients. The 80S ribosomes are apparently confined to eukaryotic cells, while 70S ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and euk aryotic cells. A unique species of50-55S ribosome found only in mamma· tian mitochondria resembles bacterial ribosomes in functional organization and antibiotic sensitivity. The 80S particle dissociates reversibly into 60S and 405 subunits and the 70S into 505 and 305 subunits as the Mg:2+ concentration of the solution is reduced.

  • Techniques for Study of Protein Synthesis
    283. TECHNIQUES FOR STUDY OF PROTEIN SYNTHE'SIS F. C. PARRISH, JR. IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY ............................................................................... A study of skeletal muscle protein biosynthesis requires a number of both simple and sophisticated techniques because it involves a study of cellu- lar subunits and molecules and their reactions. Many of these techniques h?-ve already been successfully used to acquire a considerable body of knowledge about muscle biochemistry and ultrastructure. Consequently, adaptation of these techniques provides a strong potential for obtaining some very inter- esting and illuminating information about muscle protein biosynthesis and development. Other aids in the study of muscle protein biosynthesis hwe been the knowledge supplied by the molecular biologist on the biosynthetic mecha- nism of cells and on the behavior of actin and myosin in solution. Recent research, utilizing many of the same techniques as those used for the study of protein chemistry and structure, has provided us with some very profound information about myof ibrillogenesis of mammalian skeletal muscle. Naturally, the subject of myofibrillogenesis is of much interest and concern to the muscle biologist and meat scientist because the proteins of the myofibril are the ones that most directly affect muscle growth and development, contraction, rigor mortis, meat tenderness, water binding, emulsification and human nutri- tion. If we are able to make substantial improvement in the quantitative, qualitative, and nutritive characteristics of meat we must turn to the use of techniques that will yield information on how muscle proteins are synthesized and formed into meat at the cellular and molecular level. With knowledge gained at these levels we can then begin to regulate those mechanisms and compounds affecting muscle growth and composition.

  • Review Article Intracellular Protein Biosynthesis
    Review Article Intracellular Protein Biosynthesis: A Review Abstract Proteins are macromolecules made up of many amino acids that linked together by peptide bond to make a protein molecule. The sequence and the number of amino acids determines each protein unique structure and specific function. Proteins play a vital role in living systems and play important biological functions. Biosynthesis of protein occur in our body cells in order to support the biological function in our body. Intracellular protein synthesis is a complex process that involve the transformation of information and instructions from a genetic material DNA inside the nucleus to form mRNA molecules that transferred to the cytoplasm and liked to the cytoplasmic ribosome. Subsequently, the m RNA and further encode a sequence of amino acid in a specific order and number to form a polypeptide chains that finally undergoes conformational changes and folding to form a particular structure protein. This review will focus on the tow consecutive stages of protein biosynthesis; transcription and translation, and their substage processes; initiation, elongation, and termination. Briefly, overview the role of protein in the biological function and the different types of protein structure. Keywords: Proteins;Amino Acids; Peptide; Transcription; Translation. 1. INTRODUCTION Proteins are macromolecules that consist of one or more chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide boundaries in a specific order. There are 20 different types of amino acids, and the order and number in which the different amino acids are arranged helps to determine the role of this particular protein. Proteins play a crucial role in the normal functioning of cells.

  • PROTEIN SYNTHESIS and PROCESSING Protein Biosynthesis
    PROTEIN SYNTHESIS AND PROCESSING Protein biosynthesis is the process whereby biological cells generate new proteins; it is balanced by the loss of cellular proteins via degradation or export. Translation, the assembly of amino acids by ribosomes, is an essential part of the biosynthetic pathway, along with generation of messenger RNA (mRNA), aminoacylation of transfer RNA (tRNA), co- translational transport, and post-translational modification. Protein biosynthesis is strictly regulated at multiple steps. They are principally during transcription (phenomena of RNA synthesis from DNA template) and translation (phenomena of amino acid assembly from RNA). The cistron DNA is transcribed into the first of a series of RNA intermediates. The last version is used as a template in synthesis of a polypeptide chain. Protein will often be synthesized directly from genes by translating mRNA. However, when a protein must be available on short notice or in large quantities, a protein precursor is produced. A proprotein is an inactive protein containing one or more inhibitory peptides that can be activated when the inhibitory sequence is removed byproteolysis during posttranslational modification. A preprotein is a form that contains a signal sequence (an N-terminal signal peptide) that specifies its insertion into or through membranes, i.e., targets them for secretion. The signal peptide is cleaved off in the endoplasmic reticulum.[1] Preproproteins have both sequences (inhibitory and signal) still present. In protein synthesis, a succession of tRNA molecules charged with appropriate amino acids are brought together with an mRNA molecule and matched up by base-pairing through the anti-codons of the tRNA with successive codons of the mRNA.

  • Repertoire of Genetic Control of Gene Expression in Procaryotes
    STADLER SYMPOSIA VOL. 3 (1971) University of Missouri, Columbia -25- REPERTOIRE OF GENETIC CONTROL OF GENE EXPRESSION IN PROCARYOTES DAVID SCHLESSINGER, DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI Writing 18 years ago, DR. STADLER pointed out that because of limitations in the knowledge and definition of the gene, questions about undetermined properties of the gene--the nature of the unit of reproduction, the unit of action of the "gene-string," the indivisible unit of the gene, the boundaries of a gene--were all still unanswer­ able. But these were the "all-important questions that we hope ultimately to answer by the ... development of new experimental operations." Through the application of STADLER's prescription to analyze single gene loci, and through the simultaneous development of bio­ chemical genetics, many of the previously unanswered questions about the gene now seem easy to answer. But only very recently has there been a start on some of the other problems about genes. In particu­ lar, one feature that preoccupied DR. STADLER was the category of what he called "expression effects", and what now would be called regulation of gene activity. Included are such varied phenomena as position effects, gene activation during development, and mutations in regulatory genes. Much of the work of the last decade on the way genes work in bacteria seems more and more a prelude to the really serious action just beginning with eucaryotes. Nevertheless, as the curtain rises on the eucaryotic stage, the increase in information

    O-GLCNAC IS A GLUCOSE SENSOR IN THE PANCREATIC β CELL by SEAN PATRICK DURNING (Under the Direction of Lance Wells) ABSTRACT O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a ubiquitous post-translational protein modification found on serine and threonine amino acid residues of intracellular proteins. This inducible and dynamic PTM is mediated by two cycling enzymes, O- GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) in response to environmental stimuli. The nucleotide-sugar donor UDP-GlcNAc is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and is responsive to glucose levels entering the cell. Provided its proposed role as a cellular nutrient sensor, O-GlcNAc has been implicated in contributing to the progression of type II diabetes. However, the molecular role for this PTM in the glucose-responsive, insulin secreting pancreatic β cell remains unclear. In this dissertation, I set out to study the role of O-GlcNAc in regulating molecular events in the β cell, specifically at the levels of insulin secretion and transcription. Using directed pharmacological approaches in the mouse insulinoma-6 (Min6) cell line, I demonstrate that elevating nuclear O-GlcNAc preserves glucose stimulated insulin secretion during chronic hyperglycemia. This observed secretory effect directly correlates with O- GlcNAc-induced elevation in perinuclear insulin under basal and prolonged hyperglycemic conditions. The molecular mechanism for these observed changes appears to be, at least in part, due to elevated O-GlcNAc-dependent increases in Ins1 and Ins2 mRNA levels via elevations in histone H3 transcriptional activation marks. Further, whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing reveals that hyperglycemia altered gene transcription is restricted to a subset of genes and that the majority of genes regulated by inhibiting OGA levels are similarly regulated by a shift from euglycemic to hyperglycemic conditions.

  • First Comprehensive Proteome Analysis of Lysine Crotonylation In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN First comprehensive proteome analysis of lysine crotonylation in seedling leaves of Nicotiana Received: 12 January 2017 Accepted: 25 April 2017 tabacum Published: xx xx xxxx Hangjun Sun1, Xiaowei Liu1, Fangfang Li1, Wei Li2, Jing Zhang2, Zhixin Xiao3, Lili Shen1, Ying Li1, Fenglong Wang1 & Jinguang Yang1 Histone crotonylation is a new lysine acylation type of post-translational modification (PTM) enriched at active gene promoters and potential enhancers in yeast and mammalian cells. However, lysine crotonylation in nonhistone proteins and plant cells has not yet been studied. In the present study, we performed a global crotonylation proteome analysis of Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) using high- resolution LC-MS/MS coupled with highly sensitive immune-affinity purification. A total of 2044 lysine modification sites distributed on 637 proteins were identified, representing the most abundant lysine acylation proteome reported in the plant kingdom. Similar to lysine acetylation and succinylation in plants, lysine crotonylation was related to multiple metabolism pathways, such as carbon metabolism, the citrate cycle, glycolysis, and the biosynthesis of amino acids. Importantly, 72 proteins participated in multiple processes of photosynthesis, and most of the enzymes involved in chlorophyll synthesis were modified through crotonylation. Numerous crotonylated proteins were implicated in the biosynthesis, folding, and degradation of proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Several crotonylated proteins related to chromatin organization are also discussed here. These data represent the first report of a global crotonylation proteome and provide a promising starting point for further functional research of crotonylation in nonhistone proteins. Post-translational modification (PTM) is a covalent modification process resulting from the proteolytic cleavage or addition of a functional group to one amino acid.
