A challenge for shotgun proteomics is the identification of low abundance proteins, which is always hampered owing to the extreme complexity of protein digests and highly dynamic concentration range of proteins. To reduce the complexity of the peptide mixture, we developed a novel method to selectiv...
The study was conducted to elucidate potential cleavage sites of GPR125 which are known to undergo N-terminal shedding through autoproteolysis in a region different to other GRPs. To do these different enzymatic strategies as well as enrichment of both N-terminal and C-terminal peptides, was conduct...
N-terminal (Nt) acetylation, catalyzed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), has emerged as an important co-translational modification in eukaryotes, and involves the transfer of the acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA) to the α-amino group of a nascent polypeptide. Here, we report the first gl...
An extended ChaFRADIC workflow was applied to analyze the N-terminal proteome of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Using iTRAQ protein labeling, a multi-enzyme digestion approach including trypsin, GluC, and subtilisin, a total of 200 μg per enzyme were used, and only 1/3 of each ChaFRADIC-enriched fr...
Excision of the N-terminal initiator methionine (iMet) from nascent peptide chains is an essential and omnipresent protein modification carried out by Methionine aminopetidases (MetAPs) and accounting for a major source of N-terminal proteoform diversity. While MetAP2 is known to be implicated in pr...
Protein N-termini provide valuable information such as half-life of protein, but one of hurdles to study N-terminome is that it requires large amount of sample, but this requirement might be problematic for analyzing the limited samples such as low number of cells of clinical biopsies. In this regar...
Protein ⍺-N-methylation is a cryptic and relatively unexplored post-translational modification involving the covalent addition of methyl groups to the free a-amino group at protein N-termini. To systematically explore the extent of ⍺-N-terminal methylation in yeast and humans, we utilized a repurpos...
A simple and straightforward method (CHAMP) for protein N-terminal peptide enrichment. This method was applied to enriching protein N-terminal peptides from the HEK293T human cell line and E. coli.
ORGANISM(S): Homo Sapiens (human) Escherichia Coli
SMAC/DIABLO and HTRA2 are mitochondrial proteins whose N-termina sequences, known as inhibitor of apoptosis binding motifs (IBMs), bind and activate ubiquitin ligases knwon as inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), unleashing a cell´s poteintial.IBMs comprise a 4-residue, loose consensus sequence, ...
N-terminal proteoforms stem from the same gene but differ at their N-terminus, and most of these are found to be truncated, though some are N-terminally extended caused by ribosomes starting translation from codons in the annotated 5’UTR, and/or carry modified N-termini different from those of the c...
