    Current strategies and findings in clinically relevant post-translational modification-specific proteomics
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2015) Pagel, Oliver; Loroch, Stefan; Sickmann, Albert; Zahedi, René P.
    Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has considerably extended our knowledge about the occurrence and dynamics of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). So far, quantitative proteomics has been mainly used to study PTM regulation in cell culture models, providing new insights into the role of aberrant PTM patterns in human disease. However, continuous technological and methodical developments have paved the way for an increasing number of PTM-specific proteomic studies using clinical samples, often limited in sample amount. Thus, quantitative proteomics holds a great potential to discover, validate and accurately quantify biomarkers in body fluids and primary tissues. A major effort will be to improve the complete integration of robust but sensitive proteomics technology to clinical environments. Here, we discuss PTMs that are relevant for clinical research, with a focus on phosphorylation, glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage; furthermore, we give an overview on the current developments and novel findings in mass spectrometry-based PTM research.

    The potential of fractional diagonal chromatography strategies for the enrichment of post-translational modifications
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2014) Venne, A. Saskia; Zahedi, René P.
    More than 450 post-translational modifications (PTMs) are known, however, currently only some of those can be enriched and analyzed from complex samples such as cell lysates. Therefore, we need additional methods and concepts to improve our understanding about the dynamic crosstalk of PTMs and the highly context-dependent regulation of protein function by so-called ‘PTM codes’. The mere focus on affinity-based enrichment techniques may not be sufficient to achieve this ambitious goal. However, the complementary use of two-dimensional chromatography-based strategies such as COFRADIC and ChaFRADIC might open new avenues for enriching a variety of so far inaccessible PTMs for large-scale proteome studies.
