Special Issue on Post Translational Modifications
Protein
post-translational modification (PTM) which is an important step in protein biosynthesis increases
the functional diversity of the proteome by the covalent addition of functional
groups or proteins, proteolytic cleavage of regulatory subunits or degradation
of entire proteins. These modifications include phosphorylation, glycosylation,
ubiquitination and so on which influence almost all aspects of normal cell
biology and pathogenesis. Therefore, identifying and understanding PTM is critical in the study of cell
biology and disease treatment and prevention.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring post translational modifications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Addition of unique groups (phosphorylation,
glycosylation, etc.)
-
Addition of other proteins or
peptides (ubiquitination, etc.)
-
Structural changes (disulfide bridges,
etc.)
-
Lipidation
-
Proteolysis
-
Other modifications
-
Case examples
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Post
Translational Modifications” should be chosen during your submission.
According to the following timetable:
