Proteomics Identification of Acyl-acceptor and Acyl-donor Substrates for Transglutaminase in a Human Intestinal Epithelial Cell Line

Abstract

Transglutaminase (TG)-catalyzed cross-linking of both intracellular and extracellular proteins is an important biochemical event. However, increased concentrations of cross-linked proteins have been observed in many disorders. Moreover, TG-catalyzed modification of proteins might generate new self-antigens responsible for the autoimmune response, as in celiac disease. The identification of available substrates may offer an understanding of how the TG-catalyzed post-translational modification has an impact on physiology and disease. We used a proteomic approach to identify TG-modified protein targets in human intestinal epithelial cells to determine the extent to which transglutaminase specifically contributes to celiac disease. Two probes used for which the and a which the approach which to and as for of transglutaminase been targets proteins in of and Transglutaminase (TG)-catalyzed cross-linking of both intracellular and extracellular proteins is an important biochemical event. However, increased concentrations of cross-linked proteins have been observed in many disorders. Moreover, TG-catalyzed modification of proteins might generate new self-antigens responsible for the autoimmune response, as in celiac disease. The identification of available substrates may offer an understanding of how the TG-catalyzed post-translational modification has an impact on physiology and disease.
