Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
Sbim2115 is a prerequisite
Main themes
This course helps to deepen the knowledge on post-translational modifications of proteins. It is the perfect continuation of wsbim2115.
Content
General introduction on the importance of post-translational modifications of proteins in their regulation and function (1h L.Bertrand)
- Mechanisms of disulfide bond formation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes (3h J.-F. Collet)
- Protein phosphorylations (4h M. Rider)
- The new world of other post-translational modifications (Acetylation, O-GlcNacylation) (4h L. Bertrand)
- Mechanisms of targeted proteolysis, protein ubiquitination and related post-translational modifications (J.B. Demoulin)
- Protein and metabolite repair mechanisms. (G. Bommer)

Teaching methods
The different parts of the course will be given by lecturers who are specialists in their domains using powerpoint slides. The slides will be available for the students.
Evaluation methods
Written exam on all parts of the course
Online resources
There is no formal syllabus ! PDF versions of slides presented in the course, which cover the subject in a comprehensive way, will be made available on MoodleUCL (https://moodleucl.uclouvain.be/).
In addition, a tablet will be used to explain certain aspects of the course. The "Tablet" PDF versions of the PowerPoint files will also be made available to students via MoodleUCL.
