Methylation of lysine 4 of histone H3 (K4/H3) is linked to transcriptional activity, whereas methylation of K9/H3 is tightly associated with gene inactivity. These are well characterized sites of methylation within histones, but there are numerous other, less characterized, sites

Journal of proteome research, 7(6), 2320-2331 (2008-04-18)
Recent developments in shotgun proteomics have enabled high-throughput studies of a variety of microorganisms at a proteome level and provide experimental validation for predicted open reading frames in the corresponding genome. More importantly, advances in mass spectrometric data analysis now

For the investigation of the metabolism and biosynthesis of carnitine, sensitive determination of carnitine and its metabolic precursors, trimethyllysine and gamma-butyrobetaine, is required. We present here a new simplified method for the analysis of carnitine, its acetyl- and propyl esters

The Journal of nutrition, 116(5), 751-759 (1986-05-01)
Rates of carnitine biosynthesis in mammals depend on the availability of substrates and the activity of enzymes subserving the pathway. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that the availability of epsilon-N-trimethyllysine is rate-limiting for synthesis of carnitine in

The water-soluble zwitterion carnitine is an essential metabolite in eukaryotes required for fatty acid oxidation as it functions as a carrier during transfer of activated acyl and acetyl groups across intracellular membranes. Most eukaryotes are able to synthesize carnitine endogenously
