    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    Cells are lysed in a urea-containing buffer, cellular proteins are digested by proteases, and the resulting peptides are purified by reversed-phase, solid-phase extraction. Peptides are then subjected to immunoaffinity purification using a PTMScan® Motif antibody conjugated to protein A agarose beads. Unbound peptides are removed through washing, and the captured PTM-containing peptides are eluted with dilute acid. Reversed-phase purification is performed on microtips to desalt and separate peptides from antibody prior to concentrating the enriched peptides for LC-MS/MS analysis. CST recommends the use of PTMScan® IAP Buffer #9993 included in the kit.

    Storage

    Antibody beads supplied in IAP buffer containing 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Product Description

    PTMScan® technology employs a proprietary methodology from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) for post-translationally modified (PTM) peptide enrichment by immunoprecipitation using a specific agarose 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. The workflow provides a global, unbiased overview of PTMs across cell and tissue samples of any species, regardless of modification site location.

    Background

    Akt plays a central role in mediating critical cellular responses including cell growth and survival, angiogenesis, and transcriptional regulation (2-4). It is a member of an important class of kinases, referred to as Arg-directed kinases or AGC-family kinases, which includes cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), protein kinase C, Akt, p70 S6 kinase, and RSK. These kinases share a substrate specificity characterized by Arg at position -3 relative to the phosphorylated Ser or Thr (5,6). Akt, p70S6 kinase and RSK additionally share specificity for Arg at position -5 (recognition sequence RXRXXS/T) (7) In a recent phosphoproteomic study (8) co-authored by scientists in the CST Site Discovery Group over 300 downstream substrates for AGC family kinases recognizing the RXRXXS/T motif were identified with PhosphoScan Technology using Phospho-Akt substrate antibodies. These CST™ antibodies are powerful tools for investigating the regulation of phosphorylation by Akt and other Arg-directed kinases, as well as for high throughput kinase drug discovery.In this assay, PTMScan® (RXXS
