Proteolytic post-translational modification of proteins: proteomic tools and methodology
Abstract
Proteolytic processing is a ubiquitous and irreversible post-translational modification involving limited and highly specific hydrolysis of peptide and isopeptide bonds of a protein by a protease. Cleavage generates shorter protein chains displaying neo-N and -C termini, often with new or modified biological activities. Within the past decade, degradomics and terminomics have emerged as significant proteomics subfields dedicated to characterizing proteolysis products as well as natural protein N and C termini. Here we provide an overview of contemporary proteomics-based methods, including specific quantitation, data analysis, and curation considerations, and highlight exciting new and emerging applications within these fields enabling in vivo analysis of proteolytic events.
