1. ADP-ribosylation: from molecular mechanisms to human disease
Abstract Post-translational modification of proteins by ADP-ribosylation, catalysed by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) using NAD+ as a substrate, plays central roles in DNA damage signalling and repair, modulates a range of cellular signalling cascades and initiates programmed cell death by parthanatos. Here, we present mechanistic aspects of ADP-ribos

2. The modular nature of bradykinin-potentiating peptides isolated from snake venoms
Abstract Bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs) are molecules discovered by Sergio Ferreira – who found them in the venom of Bothrops jararaca in the 1960s – that literally potentiate the action of bradykinin in vivo by, allegedly, inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzymes. After administration, the global physiological effect of BPP is the decrease

3. A S-nitrosação do mTORC1 reduz a proliferação de linhagens tumorais humanas / S-nitrosation of mTORC1 reduces cancer cell proliferation
S-Nitrosation is a dynamic and reversible post-translational modification of proteins that controls important cellular functions through the modification of cysteine thiol side chains by nitric oxide (NO). mTOR signaling pathway deregulation is involved in various cancer types and contributes to cancer cell proliferation as well as growth factor independence

4. Estudos funcionais da proteína reguladora humana Ki-1/57 e seus parceiros de interação / Functional studies of the human regulatory protein Ki-1/57 and its interaction partners
The protein Ki-1/57 was discovered through cross reactivity of the monoclonal antibody Ki-1 in cells of Hodgkin lymphoma. Previously studies demonstrated that Ki-1/57 interacts with RACK-1 protein, undergoes phosphorylation by PKCs and methylation by PRMT1, an arginine methyltransferase that modulates several RNA binding proteins. Studies have shown that Ki-

5. Estudos funcionais e estruturais da proteina humana hnRNP Q/NSAP1 / Funcional and structural studies of human protein hnRNPQ
The members of the hnRNPs family (heterogenous nuclear ribonuclein proteins) play important roles in gene expression control and mRNAs metabolism. The proteins hnRNPD (AUF1) and hnRNPQ (NSAP1) were the main targets of this study. AUF1 has two RNA recognition motifs (RRM) and participates in the process of destabilization of a class of mRNAs that contain AU-r

6. Analise das proteinas Ki-1/57 e PRMT1 : identificação, mapeamento e caracterização funcional da interação com outras proteinas / Analysis of the proteins Ki-1/57 and PRMT1: identification, mapping and characterization of the interaction with other proteins
The protein Ki-1/57 that is found both in the cytoplasm and nucleus is associated with serine/threonine protein kinase activity and gets phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues upon cellular activation. We demonstrated that Ki-1/57 interacts with the Chromatin-Helicase-DNA-binding domain protein 3 (CHD3) and with the adaptor/signaling protein RACK1 i

7. Protein 3-nitrotyrosine formation during Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice
Nitric oxide (·NO) is a diffusible messenger implicated in Trypanosoma cruzi resistance. Excess production of ·NO and oxidants leads to the generation of nitrogen dioxide (·NO2), a strong nitrating agent. Tyrosine nitration is a post-translational modification resulting from the addition of a nitro (-NO2) group to the ortho-position of tyrosine residues.

8. Regulation of endothelial derived nitric oxide in health and disease
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is the primary physiological source of nitric oxide (NO) that regulates cardiovascular homeostasis. Historically eNOS has been thought to be a constitutively expressed enzyme regulated by calcium and calmodulin. However, in the last five years it is clear that eNOS activity and NO release can be regulated by post-tran

9. Flagellar regeneration of the trypanosome Crithidia fasciculata involves post-translational modification of cytoplasmic alpha tubulin.
Deflagellation of Crithidia fasciculata stimulated formation of new flagella and maximized production of alpha 3 tubulin. Continuous labeling during reflagellation revealed that alpha 1, 2, and 3 tubulins were formed, whereas the polyadenylated RNA translation products lacked alpha 3 isoform. Pulse-chase labeling experiments demonstrated that alpha 3 was a p

10. Methylation of high molecular weight fibroblast growth factor-2 determines post-translational increases in molecular weight and affects its intracellular distribution.
The high molecular weight (HMW) forms (24, 22.5, and 22 kDa) of basic fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) contain an N-terminal extension responsible for their predominantly nuclear localization. These forms of FGF-2 are post-translationally modified, resulting in a 1- to 2-kDa increase in apparent molecular mass. Here we show that this post-translational mod

11. Barium modulates c-fos expression and post-translational modification.
The addition of exogenous barium ions to PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells elicits a transient induction of the c-fos gene. Induction is antagonized by extracellular calcium and the dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and it is attenuated in the presence of calmodulin inhibitors. Thus, barium appears to enter the cell through a voltage-dependent calcium

12. Post-Translational Modification as a Potential Explanation of High Levels of Enzyme Polymorphism: Xanthine Dehydrogenase and Aldehyde Oxidase in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) in Drosophila melanogaster require for their activity the action of another unlinked locus, maroon-like (mal). While the XDH and AO loci are on chromosome 3, mal maps to the X chromosome. Although functional mal gene product is required for XDH and AO activity, it is possible to examine the effects of mu
