Propionylation is a post-translational modification of proteins, in which a propionyl-group is added to a lysine amino acid of a protein. Propionylation participates in crucial biological processes, including metabolic processes and cellular stress response.[1]

Lysine propionylation was first identified on histone proteins,[2] and since has also been identified on other proteins.[3] Histone propionylation is a mark of active chromatin.[4] The substrate for protein propionylation is propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA in the cell is metabolised by the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase. Accumulation of propionyl-CoA leads to increased protein propionylation.[5]

In patients with propionic acidemia, a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, propionyl-CoA levels elevated and increased propionylation,[6] which might contribute to the pathology in these patients.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
