Abstract
Ageing is a complex process that is greatly influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Ageing at the cellular and molecular level is characterized by the accumulation of post-translationally modified proteins that are derogative to cells, termed Degenerative protein modification (DPM). A particular class of DPM, occurring under the impact of urea, termed brain ureido degenerative post-translational modifications (uDPM) has also been implicated in the molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. These modifications can disrupt normal protein functions by altering their conformation, enzymatic activities, receptor recognitions, and physiological capabilities. Carbamylation is an age-related uDPM that results from the non-enzymatic modification of amino groups of ε-amino groups on lysine in proteins. The significance of carbamylation in some age-related disorders such as cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis,and cardiovascular diseases is well documented.However, the role of carbamylation in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, which are also age-dependent, has not been explored much. The aim of the current article is a retrospection of carbamylation, its effect on proteins, and its implications in ageing and neurodegenerative diseases. Carbamylation is one such age-related uDPM, which results from the non-enzymatic modification of amino groups of ε-amino groups on lysines or N-terminal amino groups present in proteins or peptides by isocyanate. The significance of carbamylation in some age-related disorders such as cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular diseases is well documented. However, the role of carbamylation in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, which are also age-dependent, has not been explored much. This mini-review will focus on the relationship between carbamylation and neurodegenerative disorders and provide an overview of the process of carbamylation, its contribution towards molecular ageing of protein, and the involvement of carbamylation in neurodegeneration and related diseases associated with ageing.
期刊介绍:
Started in 1964, this journal publishes original research articles in the following areas: structure-function relationships of biomolecules; biomolecular recognition, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions; gene-cloning, genetic engineering, genome analysis, gene targeting, gene expression, vectors, gene therapy; drug targeting, drug design; molecular basis of genetic diseases; conformational studies, computer simulation, novel DNA structures and their biological implications, protein folding; enzymes structure, catalytic mechanisms, regulation; membrane biochemistry, transport, ion channels, signal transduction, cell-cell communication, glycobiology; receptors, antigen-antibody binding, neurochemistry, ageing, apoptosis, cell cycle control; hormones, growth factors; oncogenes, host-virus interactions, viral assembly and structure; intermediary metabolism, molecular basis of disease processes, vitamins, coenzymes, carrier proteins, toxicology; plant and microbial biochemistry; surface forces, micelles and microemulsions, colloids, electrical phenomena, etc. in biological systems. Solicited peer reviewed articles on contemporary Themes and Methods in Biochemistry and Biophysics form an important feature of IJBB.
Review articles on a current topic in the above fields are also considered. They must dwell more on research work done during the last couple of years in the field and authors should integrate their own work with that of others with acumen and authenticity, mere compilation of references by a third party is discouraged. While IJBB strongly promotes innovative novel research works for publication as full length papers, it also considers research data emanating from limited objectives, and extension of ongoing experimental works as ‘Notes’. IJBB follows “Double Blind Review process” where author names, affiliations and other correspondence details are removed to ensure fare evaluation. At the same time, reviewer names are not disclosed to authors.
