Mammal sirtuins are NAD + - dependent deacetylases that use NAD + as cofactor for catalyzed reactions to cleave acetyl groups from acetylated
lysine residues of target proteins, generating nicotinamide (NAM) and 2 ′ - O - acetyl - ADP - ribose.
Not exact matches
Another important histone modification is acetylation (ac), which is the addition
of an acetyl group to a
lysine residue.
The simplest structure
of glucosepane is a
lysine residue linked to a arginine
residue by a degraded form
of glucose (which has turned into the imadazolium ring, etc).
They next undertook targeted sequencing
of the
lysine - 27
residue in all 16 genes that code for H3 isoforms in a validation cohort comprising 43 DIPGs and 36 non-brainstem glioblastomas.
Substrate peptides used in this assay were: the first 25
residues of histone 3 [H3 (1 - 25)-RSB- for G9a, EHMT1 and SETD7 at 10, 20 and 100 µM respectively; the first 24
residues of histone 4 [H4 (1 - 24)-RSB- at 10 and 500 µM for PRMT3 and SETD8 respectively; and H3K9Me1 [H3 (1 - 15), monomethylated at
lysine 9] at 200 µM for SUV39H2.
This occurrence could have hindered the detection
of junction - spanning peptides, since most mass spectrometry experiments involve digesting proteins with the enzyme trypsin, which cuts peptide chains exclusively after arginine and
lysine residues.
HMT family

of enzymes that methylate
lysine or arginine
residues on histone tails as well as other proteins.
He introduced a number
of important techniques in chemical modification
of proteins, in particular based on reversible amidination and trifluoroacetylation
of lysine residues.
Biotin, an essential water - soluble B vitamin, has been known to modify tails
of histone H2A, H3, and H4 through a covalent attachment
of biotin to specific
lysine residues catalyzed by the enzymes biotinidase and holocarboxylase synthase.»
