Potential protein post-translational modification in ERp57: A phenotype marker for male fertility
1Wiwanitkit House, Bangkhae, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background:
In protein expression, post-translational modification is an important process. It is also an important process in human reproductive science. ERp57 is a molecule that is mentioned for post-translational modification. ERp57 is a component of human sperm acrosome proteins. However, the data on post-translational modifications of ERp57 is limited.
Aim:
The aim of this work is to assess potential protein post-translational modifications in ERp57 protein.
Settings And Design:
A descriptive computational bioinformatics study.
Materials And Methods:
In this work, potential protein post-translational modifications in ERp57 protein were assessed via a standard bioinformatics technique.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Bioinformatics analysis.
Results:
There are three post-translational modifications within ERp57 from bioinformatics analysis.
Conclusion:
This new knowledge can be useful for better realization on molecular process of male infertility.

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.
