    Protocol

    Product Description

    PTMScan® HS (High Sensitivity) is an enhanced PTMScan methodology with improved identification of post-translationally modified (PTM) peptides. PTMScan technology employs a proprietary methodology from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) for peptide enrichment by immunoprecipitation using a specific magnetic bead-conjugated antibody in conjunction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for quantitative profiling of PTM sites in cellular proteins. PTMs analyzed using this technology include phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation, and methylation, among others. The methodology enables researchers to isolate, identify, and quantify large numbers of PTM cellular peptides with high specificity and sensitivity. The workflow provides a global, unbiased overview of PTMs across cell and tissue samples of any species, regardless of modification site location.

    Background

    Acetylation of lysine, like phosphorylation of serine, threonine or tyrosine, is an important reversible modification controlling protein activity. The conserved amino-terminal domains of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) contain lysines that are acetylated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) (1). Signaling resulting in acetylation/deacetylation of histones, transcription factors, and other proteins affects a diverse array of cellular processes including chromatin structure and gene activity, cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis (2-6). Recent proteomic surveys suggest that acetylation of lysine residues may be a widespread and important form of post-translational protein modification that affects thousands of proteins involved in control of cell cycle and metabolism, longevity, actin polymerization, and nuclear transport (7,8). The regulation of protein acetylation status is impaired in cancer and polyglutamine diseases (9), and HDACs have become promising targets for anti-cancer drugs currently in development (10).
