Abstract:
Thioredoxin-1 is a 12-kDa protein with anti-oxidative, antiapoptotic and pro-proliferative functions, and it offers protection against cardiac hypertrophy. It has been found that the physiological regulation of thioredoxin-1 requires post-translational modifications and this may be an important step in the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy. In this study, the potential protein post-translational modifications in thioredoxin-1 were determined with a standard bioinformatics technique, FindMod. No potential protein posttranslational modifications were found, which may indicate that they are not an important step in the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy.

Protein Modifications in the RER
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal sequences.
Covalently Linked Protein Regulators
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein.
Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
