  • Automethylation : a response to enzyme aging

    Creator:
    Lindquist, Jonathan A.
    Abstract:
    This is the first study to explore the ability of an enzyme to recognize and repair spontaneous age-dependent damage to its own sequence. Protein (D-aspartyl/L-isoaspartyl) carboxyl methyltransferase (PCM) is known to repair damage that arises from a spontaneous isomerization of aspartyl and asparaginyl residues in other proteins during aging. As...
