Post-translation or Post-translational regulation refers to the control of the levels of active protein either by means of reversible events (Post-translational modifications, such as Phosphorylation or sequestration) or by means of irreversible events (proteolysis).

modifications that occur to proteins after they have been translated such as glycosilation, lipid attachments, proteolytic cleavage, disulphide bonds, hydroxylation of proline residues (in collagen) and phosphorylation of serine, threonine or tyrosine residues

Post translational modifications which is PTM is a step in protein biosynthesis. Proteins are created by robosomes translating mRNa into polypeptide chains.

Post translational modification occurs in which cell organelle?

Post translational modification occurs in ribosomes.


What is DNAse?

DNase (deoxyribonuclease) is an enzyme. It is manufactured by ribosomes and can undergo post translational modifications or cotranslational modifications. DNase catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in the DNA backbone. A wide variety of is known, which differ in their substrate specificities, chemical mechanisms, and biological functions.


Why prokaryotic cells are not prefer for eukaryotic gene expression?

Actually, for some uses prokaryotic cells are just fine for eukaryotic gene expression. That said bacteria are deficient in quite a lot of the post-translational modification systems that eukaryotes use, such as glycosylation. Since those post-translational modifications can actually be important to the protein's function you might choose a eukaryotic expression system to preserve them.

Why the bacteria don't have post translational modifications?

They in fact do. Check out a review "Postranslational Protein Modification in Archaea" by Jerry Eichler. The problem is that took a long time to discover this so it was assumed that they don't have any PTMs but this is wrong.
