Palmitoylation

StarStarStarStar

Covalent attachment of fatty acid palmitate to cysteine residues, affects protein membrane association and signaling pathways.

StarStarStarStar

Glycosylation

StarStarStarStar

Attachment of carbohydrate chains to proteins, essential for proper protein folding and stability; involved in cell-cell recognition.

StarStarStarStar

Ubiquitination

StarStarStarStar

Attachment of ubiquitin molecules to a protein, typically signals for protein degradation via the proteasome.

StarStarStarStar

Phosphorylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of a phosphate group (PO4) to an amino acid, often leads to changes in protein function and signal transduction.

StarStarStarStar

Acetylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of an acetyl group to the N-terminus of a protein or at lysine residues, often modulates protein function and interaction.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrosylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of a nitric oxide group to cysteine residues, critical for regulating protein function and cell signaling.

StarStarStarStar

Methylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of methyl groups to amino acids like lysine and arginine, can affect gene expression and protein interactions.

StarStarStarStar

Sumoylation

StarStarStarStar

Attachment of SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) proteins to other proteins, regulates protein localization, stability, and activity.

StarStarStarStar

Hydroxylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of hydroxyl groups (OH) to amino acids like proline and lysine, important for collagen stability and oxygen sensing.

StarStarStarStar

ADP-Ribosylation

StarStarStarStar

Addition of ADP-ribose polymers to amino acids, altering protein function and is involved in DNA repair and cell signaling.
