Chemical modifications of proteins in vivo: selected examples important to cellular regulation.
The synthesis and degradation pathways for individual proteins and functional peptides often involve numerous co- and post-translational modifying steps. This review focuses on the diversity of such reactions. The reactions are organized into functional categories. An overall goal is to highlight post-translational events as often having the same importance to functional protein production as the transcriptional and translational events that initiate their synthesis.
