Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs) may occur at any stage following the translation process in the lifecycle of specific proteins. PTMs regulate several cellular processes including protein stability, subcellular localization, and protein-protein interactions. In recent years, more and more target proteins of PTMs have been proved to be related to epigenetic regulation and cell fate. Some enzymes that catalyze PTMs have also been found to be involved in human diseases. This book intends to provide the reader with an overview of the current state of the art in this research field, which focuses on the recent advances, new findings and perspectives in cellular functions, and their clinical significance in human diseases. We hope this book will help researchers in this area.

This volume details novel and popular approaches to decipher the Ubiquitin Code. Chapters guide readers through ubiquitin chain complexity, methods to generate non-hydrolysable ubiquitin-NEDD8, a fully synthetic method for the linear synthesis of fluorescently labelled rhodamine LC3A and LC3B, a HECT ligase-mediated ubiquitylation in vitro, a RNAi-based screening to identify DUBs, a Yuh1 activity assay, a pull-down to isolate K48 and K63 chains using specific nanobodies, identification of NeDDylated protein based in a NEDD8R74K mutant, in vivo identification of NEDDylated proteins from liver diseases, UbL-ID method to identify ubiquitin-like modified proteins, a LC3/GABARAP capturing system, and methods to isolate peptides that are closely associated with proteasomes or trapped inside the core particle of proteasomes in eukaryotic cells, among others. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, The Ubiquitin Code aims to to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field. .

Post-translational modification of proteins, or what occurs after a protein has been synthesized by the cell, are now known to play a fundamental role in regulating the activity, location and function of a wide range of proteins. In plant cells work on different types of post-translational modifications has progressed largely along independent lines. This book brings research workers together to allow an exchange of ideas, and reflects a diversity of interest while also revealing common ground. An introductory chapter reviewing recent progress in the field is followed by reviews of protein phosphorylation in bacteria and animals, which provide a useful perspective on this subject in plants. Consideration is then given to plant protein kinases and the processes they control. Acylation and glycosylation, and their functions in protein targeting and folding are reviewed, along with the roles of glycoproteins in plant development and of ubiquitination in plant senescence.
