Protein methylation protects proteins in two ways

Description
1. By blocking sites of ubiquitination, methylation evidently helps protect proteins from turnover.

2. Spontaneous damage of protein molecules during aging causes deamidation, isomerization, and racemization of their asparagine and aspartate residues.

A methylation reaction can initiate the repair of these damaged residues.
