| Abstract |
Posttranslational modifications have emerged in recent years as the major biological regulators responsible for the orders of magnitude increase in complexity of protein functions. These "molecular switches" affect nearly every protein in vivo by modulating their protein structure, activity, molecular interactions, and homeostasis. While over 350 protein modifications have been described, only a handful of them have been characterized. Until recently, protein arginylation has belonged to the list of obscure, poorly understood posttranslational modifications, before the recent explosion of studies has put arginylation on the map of intracellular metabolic pathways and biological processes. This chapter contains an overview of all the major milestones in the protein arginylation field, from its original discovery in 1963 to this day. |
