TLDR
This work frames central issues regarding determination of protein-level variation and PTMs, including some paradoxes present in the field today, and uses this framework to assess existing data and ask the question, "How many distinct primary structures of proteins (proteoforms) are created from the 20,300 human genes?"
Abstract
Despite decades of accumulated knowledge about proteins and their post-translational modifications (PTMs), numerous questions remain regarding their molecular composition and biological function O

Functions and mechanisms of non-histone protein acetylation

TL;DR: Recent progress is discussed in the understanding of the scope, functional diversity and mechanisms of non-histone protein acetylation, which regulates many cellular processes, such as transcription, DNA repair, signal transduction, protein folding and autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global view of human protein glycosylation pathways and functions

TL;DR: This work predicts that use of (single-cell) transcriptomics, genetic screens, genetic engineering of cellular glycosylation capacities and custom design of glycoprotein therapeutics are advancements that will ignite wider integration of gly cosylation in general cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

mRNAs, proteins and the emerging principles of gene expression control.

TL;DR: How large-scale comparative studies are characterizing the degree to which mRNA and protein levels correlate is discussed, and how transcriptomics and proteomics provide useful non-redundant readouts of gene expression is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial proteomics: a powerful discovery tool for cell biology.

TL;DR: Spatial proteomics improves the understanding of protein function by revealing the subcellular localizations of proteins and their movement between compartments, and ways to improve integration of spatial proteomics data are discussed.

Translating the Histone Code

TL;DR: It is proposed that this epigenetic marking system represents a fundamental regulatory mechanism that has an impact on most, if not all, chromatin-templated processes, with far-reaching consequences for cell fate decisions and both normal and pathological development.

UniProt: the Universal Protein knowledgebase

TL;DR: The Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL and PIR protein database activities have united to form the Universal Protein Knowledgebase (UniProt), which is to provide a comprehensive, fully classified, richly and accurately annotated protein sequence knowledgebase, with extensive cross-references and query interfaces.

Alternative Isoform Regulation in Human Tissue Transcriptomes

TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of 15 diverse human tissue and cell line transcriptomes on the basis of deep sequencing of complementary DNA fragments yielding a digital inventory of gene and mRNA isoform expression suggested common involvement of specific factors in tissue-level regulation of both splicing and polyadenylation.

A draft map of the human proteome

Min-Sik Kim, +73 more
- 29 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: A draft map of the human proteome is presented using high-resolution Fourier-transform mass spectrometry to discover a number of novel protein-coding regions, which includes translated pseudogenes, non-c coding RNAs and upstream open reading frames.
