Finding one's way in proteomics: a protein species nomenclature
TL;DR: A systematic nomenclature for the comprehensive description of protein species is proposed, flexible and adaptable to every level of knowledge and of experimental data in accordance with the exact chemical composition of individual protein species.

Abstract: Our knowledge of proteins has greatly improved in recent years, driven by new technologies in the fields of molecular biology and proteome research. It has become clear that from a single gene not only one single gene product but many different ones - termed protein species - are generated, all of which may be associated with different functions. Nonetheless, an unambiguous nomenclature for describing individual protein species is still lacking. With the present paper we therefore propose a systematic nomenclature for the comprehensive description of protein species. The protein species nomenclature is flexible and adaptable to every level of knowledge and of experimental data in accordance with the exact chemical composition of individual protein species. As a minimum description the entry name (gene name + species according to the UniProt knowledgebase) can be used, if no analytical data about the target protein species are available.

Proteoform: a single term describing protein complexity
Lloyd M. Smith,Neil L. Kelleher +1 more
TL;DR: The term ‘proteoform’ is proposed to be used to designate all of the different molecular forms in which the protein product of a single gene can be found, including changes due to genetic variations, alternatively spliced RNA transcripts and posttranslational modifications.

TL;DR: Identification of 1,043 gene products from human cells that are dispersed into more than 3,000 protein species created by post-translational modification, RNA splicing and proteolysis is shown, using a new four-dimensional separation system.
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins and Their “Mysterious” (Meta)Physics
TL;DR: With their exceptional spatio-temporal heterogeneity and high conformational flexibility, IDPs/IDPRs represent complex systems that act at the edge of chaos and are specifically tunable by various means.
Intrinsic Disorder and Posttranslational Modifications: The Darker Side of the Biological Dark Matter.
TL;DR: This review considers some of the aspects of IDPs/IDPRs and their normal and aberrant regulation by PTMs, ranging from cancer and neurodegeneration to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
p53 Proteoforms and Intrinsic Disorder: An Illustration of the Protein Structure–Function Continuum Concept
TL;DR: Considering p53 in the light of a proteoform-based structure–function continuum represents a non-canonical and conceptually new contemplation of structure, regulation, and functionality of this important protein.

High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins.
TL;DR: This technique provides a method for estimation of the number of proteins made by any biological system and can resolve proteins differing in a single charge and consequently can be used in the analysis of in vivo modifications resulting in a change in charge.

The language of covalent histone modifications.
Brian D. Strahl,C D Allis +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that distinct histone modifications, on one or more tails, act sequentially or in combination to form a ‘histone code’ that is, read by other proteins to bring about distinct downstream events.

TL;DR: During 2004, tens of thousands of Knowledgebase records got manually annotated or updated; the UniProt keyword list got augmented by additional keywords; the documentation of the keywords and are continuously overhauling and standardizing the annotation of post-translational modifications.

Hsp70 chaperones: cellular functions and molecular mechanism.
Matthias P. Mayer,Bernd Bukau +1 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that for specific tasks the Hsp70 cycle is coupled to the action of other chaperones, such as Hsp90 and Hsp100, and this ATPase cycle is controlled by co-chaperones of the family of J-domain proteins, which target H Sp70s to their substrates, and by nucleotide exchange factors, which determine the lifetime of the HSp70-substrate complex.
New insights into an old protein: the functional diversity of mammalian glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
TL;DR: The mechanisms through which mammalian cells may utilize GAPDH amino acid sequences to provide new functions and to determine its intracellular localization are considered and the interrelationship between new GAPDh activities and its role in cell pathologies is addressed.
