Protein Modifications in the RER

Protein Modifications in the RER

Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
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...

Area of Science:

Biochemistry
Proteomics
Molecular Biology

Background:

Cysteine residues in proteins can exist in multiple redox states, forming diverse cysteine redox proteoforms.
The theoretical number of proteoforms increases exponentially with the number of cysteine residues, creating a vast and complex landscape.
Despite their biological importance, the full extent of cysteine redox proteoforms and their regulatory roles are poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To advance the theory of cysteine redox proteoforms.
To scrutinize existing methodological challenges in their detection.
To propose innovative technologies and a community-wide project for systematic exploration.

Main Methods:

Review and synthesis of current knowledge on cysteine redox proteoforms.
Discussion of limitations in existing analytical techniques.
Elaboration of chemistry-enabled hybrid approaches, combining top-down mass spectrometry (TD-MS) and bottom-up mass spectrometry (BU-MS).

Main Results:

The theoretical cysteine redox proteoform landscape is vast and largely uncharted.
Existing methods face significant challenges in comprehensively detecting unique residue-defined proteoforms.
Hybrid TD-MS and BU-MS approaches offer a technological pathway to map this complex redox terrain.

Conclusions:

Exploring the cysteine redox proteoform landscape is crucial for understanding redox biology.
Innovative technologies and collaborative efforts like the proposed Human Cysteine Redox Proteoform Project are needed.
Mapping cysteine redox proteoforms could reveal novel regulatory mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets.
