Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Chemical modification of proteins enables the development of proteins with novel functions and properties and has industrial and pharmacological applications. Modified proteins can exhibit improved ...

Explore the complexities of tauopathies and how new research could change their diagnosis and treatment approaches.

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

"For histones, the time window for modifications is incredibly tight because their protein chains are very short," explains first author Denis Yudin, a doctoral student in Nenad Ban's lab. "NAC ...

A new study on fatty acid acylation, or attachment, patterns onto proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans, a type of roundworm, provides a foundation for future discoveries around protein function and its ...

Cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory, require rapid changes to proteins at synapses, such as protein synthesis, degradation, and trafficking. How protein post-translational modifications ...

Protein palmitoylation and lipid modifications are essential post‐translational processes that regulate protein localisation, stability and function by the covalent attachment of fatty acid chains.

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...
