Advances in Protein Expression and Post-Translational Modification Platforms

This session will highlight advances in protein expression coupled with post-translational protein modification in a wide variety of model and non-model platforms including bacteria, yeast, insect, mammalian, and plant cells as well as cell-free expression systems. Potential topics include but are not limited to glycosylation, lipidation, phosphorylation, nitrosylation, proteolysis, synthesis of spatially organized or scaffolded protein complexes, studies of protein biogenesis, protein folding, and the design of novel methods for protein display, editing and secretion, as well as advances in chemical biology that take advantage of post-translational modification techniques. Presentations that focus on both natural and unnatural post-translational processes that enable enhanced function, stability, or specificity of the protein of interest are particularly welcome.
