Crosstalk of intracellular post-translational modifications in cancer

Zheng Wu et al. Arch Biochem Biophys. .

Abstract

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been reported to play pivotal roles in numerous cellular biochemical and physiological processes. Multiple PTMs can influence the actions of each other positively or negatively, termed as PTM crosstalk or PTM code. During recent years, development of identification strategies for PTMs co-occurrence has revealed abundant information of interplay between PTMs. Increasing evidence demonstrates that deregulation of PTMs crosstalk is involved in the genesis and development of various diseases. Insight into the complexity of PTMs crosstalk will help us better understand etiology and provide novel targets for drug therapy. In the present review, we will discuss the important functional roles of PTMs crosstalk in proteins associated with cancer diseases.

Keywords: Cancer-related proteins; Drug target; PTMs crosstalk; Tumorigenesis.
