Abstract
Noninherited diseases and age-associated vision loss are often associated with retinal degeneration. The retina is a postmitotic neural tissue lacking endogenous regeneration capacity. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of retinal degeneration in diseases is pivotal. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) determine protein function during physiological and pathological processes, including signal transduction, protein localization, and protein activation. Advanced detection technologies have revealed over 400 different PTMs including acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination and SUMOylation. Here, we discuss PTMs in retinal degeneration diseases to aid in our understanding of their molecular basis and suggest potential future clinical treatment.
