One of the most fundamental queries is the extent to which the combinations of DNA-, RNA- and PTM-level variations explode the complexity of the human proteome. Here, we outline what we know from current databases and measurement strategies including mass spectrometry–based proteomics. In doing so, we examine prevailing notions about the number of modifications displayed on human proteins and how they combine to generate the protein diversity underlying health and disease.

Understanding the occurrence and patterns of mutations is necessary to identify the sequence of events enabling tumor growth and diffusion. Yet, while much is known about mutations in proteins whose actions are exerted inside the cells, much less is known about the extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-associated proteins (collectively Citation: Holstein, E.; Dittmann, A.; known as the “matrisome”) whose actions are exerted outside the cells.

A few years ago, the re-sequencing and de novo assembling of the L. infantum (JPCM5 strain) genome was accomplished, and now we aimed to describe and characterize the experimental proteome of this species. In this work, we performed a proteomic analysis from axenic cultured promastigotes and carried out a detailed comparison with other Leishmania experimental proteomes published to date. We identified 2352 proteins based on a search of mass spectrometry data against a database built from the six-frame translated genome sequence of L. infantum. We detected many proteins belonging to organelles such as glycosomes, mitochondria, or flagellum, as well as many metabolic enzymes and many putative RNA binding proteins and molecular chaperones.

Scope of review: In this review emphasis is given on the PTMs already reported on the human sperm proteins Keywords: under normal and pathologic conditions with particular reference to sperm function such as motility and fertil- Spermatozoa Proteome ization. An attempt has been made to summarize different protocols and methods used for analysis of PTMs on Post-translational modifications sperm proteins and the newer trends those were emerging. Infertility Major conclusions: Deciphering the differential occurrence of PTM on protein at ultrastructural level would give Male factor us a better insight of structure-function relationship of the particular protein.
