Non-histone protein methylation as a regulator of cellular signalling and function

Biggar, Kyle K., Li, Shawn S.-C.·2015·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

Methylation of Lys and Arg residues on non-histone proteins has emerged as a prevalent post-translational modification and as an important regulator of cellular signal transduction mediated by the MAPK, WNT, BMP, Hippo and JAK-STAT signalling pathways. Crosstalk between methylation and other types of post-translational modifications, and between histone and non-histone protein methylation frequently occurs and affects cellular functions such as chromatin remodelling, gene transcription, protein synthesis, signal transduction and DNA repair. With recent advances in proteomic techniques, in particular mass spectrometry, the stage is now set to decode the methylproteome and define its functions in health and disease.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • m6A in Xist RNA is required for it to mediate transcriptional repression.

    “The effect may even be trans -acting, as exemplified by m6A in Xist RNA that is required for it to mediate transcriptional repression 40 .”
  • Tumour-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance to epigenetic therapies appear to be quite different from the paradigm of acquired resistance reported for other targeted therapies such as kinase inhibitors.

    “Thus far the tumour-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance appear to be quite different to the paradigm of acquired resistance reported for other targeted therapies such as kinase inhibitors 188 .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
