The covalent modifications of proteins with phosphates, lipids, sugars or other residues confer on these proteins additional structural and functional diversity. For instance, protein phosphorylation is involved in a wide range of cellular processes including signal transduction. Protein glycosylation is one of the most abundant PTMs and more than 50% of all human proteins are glycosylated. Glycoproteins are involved in many biological events, such as cell-cell adhesion, communication, immune response and development.展开更多
