Abstract

The Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) is a global project aimed to identify at least one protein isoform encoded by the approximately 20, 300 human genes. In addition, protein post-translational modifications will be characterized, with the initial goal of detecting phosphorylation, acetylation, and glycosylation sites in each protein. In this chapter, we provide an overview of known post-translational modifications, their known biological functions, and present strategies to detect them on both a single protein and proteomic scales. In future proteomic studies, global characterization of post-translation modifications, splice variants, and variants caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) will be necessary to fully understand the role of proteins in human biology and disease.
