Some detected PTM sites may represent molecular noise caused by spurious reactions rather than functional regulation.
Targeted proteomics has generated many candidate PTM-regulated mitochondrial proteins, but the functional importance of only a few PTMs is currently understood.
Redox-associated PTMs participate both in repair of stress-induced damage and in adjustment of mitochondrial metabolic functions to environmental variation such as light irradiance or oxygen availability.
Different PTMs on the same protein or on different proteins in the same metabolic pathway can interact to fine-tune metabolic regulation.
PTMs form a multidimensional regulatory system that provides speed and flexibility for mitochondrial coordination beyond changes in nuclear gene expression alone.
