Palmitoylation
Covalent attachment of fatty acid palmitate to cysteine residues, affects protein membrane association and signaling pathways.
Glycosylation
Attachment of carbohydrate chains to proteins, essential for proper protein folding and stability; involved in cell-cell recognition.
Ubiquitination
Attachment of ubiquitin molecules to a protein, typically signals for protein degradation via the proteasome.
Phosphorylation
Addition of a phosphate group (PO4) to an amino acid, often leads to changes in protein function and signal transduction.
Acetylation
Addition of an acetyl group to the N-terminus of a protein or at lysine residues, often modulates protein function and interaction.
Nitrosylation
Addition of a nitric oxide group to cysteine residues, critical for regulating protein function and cell signaling.
Methylation
Addition of methyl groups to amino acids like lysine and arginine, can affect gene expression and protein interactions.
Sumoylation
Attachment of SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) proteins to other proteins, regulates protein localization, stability, and activity.
Hydroxylation
Addition of hydroxyl groups (OH) to amino acids like proline and lysine, important for collagen stability and oxygen sensing.
ADP-Ribosylation
Addition of ADP-ribose polymers to amino acids, altering protein function and is involved in DNA repair and cell signaling.
