Acetyl groups are transferred from Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) to protein N-termini and lysine side chains by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), respectively. Building on lysine-CoA conjugates as KAT probes, we have synthesized peptide probes with CoA conjugate...
Acetylation of amino groups is a prevalent protein modification in all kingdoms of life. Acetyl groups are transferred from Coenzyme A (CoA) to protein N-termini and lysine side chains by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), respectively. Building on lysine-CoA ...
N-terminal acetylation is a conserved protein modification among eukaryotes, and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a valuable model system for studying this modification. The enzymes responsible for the bulk of protein N-terminal acetylation in S. cerevisiae are the N-terminal acetyltransferases...
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...
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...
Proteogenomics is a research field where proteome data is used to improve gene annotation. To achieve this, customized protein databases are constructed to match proteomic data. We perform a proteogenomic analysis using N-terminal COFRADIC data in order to identify novel translational initiation sta...
To understand the impact of alternative translation initiation on a proteome, we performed the first large-scale study of protein turnover rates in which we distinguish between N-terminal proteoforms pointing to translation initiation events. Using pulsed SILAC combined with N-terminal COFRADIC we m...
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...
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.
