Palmitoylation is the covalent modification of cysteine ( Cys ) residues via addition of hydrophobic acyl groups, and has the effect of targeting the receptor to cholesterol-and sphingolipid-rich microdomains of the plasma membrane called lipid rafts.

In addition to intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, keratins have large amounts of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine, required for the disulfide bridges that confer additional strength and rigidity by permanent, thermally-stable crosslinking — a role sulfur bridges also play in vulcanized rubber.

* glycosylation, the addition of a glycosyl group to either arginine, asparagine, cysteine, hydroxylysine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, or tryptophan resulting in a glycoprotein.

In addition, the tryptophan mutation rate was unaffected when the cells were deprived of another amino acid, cysteine, further suggesting that the mutation rate was specific to situations in which the mutation was advantageous.

Many of these complexes can bind to common proteins like serum albumin in addition to other proteins with amino acids that are common in protein-metal complex interactions like histidine, cysteine, and selenocysteine.

Like the insulin receptor, the IGF-1 receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase — meaning the receptor signals by causing the addition of a phosphate molecule on particular tyrosines.

) In addition, tyrosine, which is normally derived from phenylalanine, must be supplemented.

In addition, tyrosine kinase can sometimes function incorrectly in such a way that leads to non-small cell lung cancer.

The addition of a phosphate to particular amino acids — most commonly serine and threonine mediated by serine / threonine kinases, or more rarely tyrosine mediated by tyrosine kinases — causes a protein to become a target for binding or interacting with a distinct set of other proteins that recognize the phosphorylated domain.

** phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group, usually to serine, threonine, and tyrosine ( O-linked ), or histidine ( N-linked )

** adenylylation, the addition of an adenylyl moiety, usually to tyrosine ( O-linked ), or histidine and lysine ( N-linked )

* sulfation, the addition of a sulfate group to a tyrosine.

Within the last decade, many independent labs have demonstrated that, in addition to the classical ion transporting, this membrane protein can also relay extracellular ouabain-binding signalling into the cell through regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

In addition, renin binding results in phosphorylation of serine and tyrosine residues of ATP6AP2.

TrkB is a receptor tyrosine kinase ( meaning it mediates its actions by causing the addition of phosphate molecules on certain tyrosines in the cell, activating cellular signaling ).

Like the insulin receptor, the IGF-1 receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase-meaning it signals by causing the addition of a phosphate molecule on particular tyrosines.

In addition, GP1 amino acid position 259 also appears to be important, since all arenaviruses showing high-affinity alpha-DG binding possess a bulky aromatic amino acid ( tyrosine or phenylalanine ) at this position.

In addition, non-polar interactions are made between protein side-chains and the deoxyribose groups, and an arginine side-chain intercalates into the DNA minor groove at all 14 sites where it faces the octamer surface.

** methylation the addition of a methyl group, usually at lysine or arginine residues.

Two very useful ways for modifying a form-dictionary are the addition to the dictionary of complete paradigms rather than single forms and the application of a single change to more than one dictionary form.

In the new process impurities present in the solvent ( benzene ), the monomer, and in the reaction system which would cause deactivation of propagation centers, are rendered inactive prior to polymerization by gradual addition of initiator, a mixture of butyl-lithium and telomeric styryl-lithium, at a temperature low enough to suppress chain growth.
