Protein methylation protects proteins in two ways

Protein methylation protects proteins in two ways
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: 1. By blocking sites of ubiquitination, methylation evidently helps protect proteins from turnover.

2. Spontaneous damage of protein molecules during aging causes deamidation, isomerization, and racemization of their asparagine and aspartate residues.

A methylation reaction can initiate the repair of these damaged residues.
