    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 peptide enrichment by immunoprecipitation using a specific bead-conjugated antibody in conjunction with liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for quantitative profiling of post-translational modification (PTM) sites in cellular proteins. These include phosphorylation (PhosphoScan®), ubiquitination (UbiScan®), acetylation (AcetylScan®), and methylation (MethylScan®), among others. PTMScan® Technology enables researchers to isolate, identify, and quantitate large numbers of post-translationally modified cellular peptides with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, providing a global overview of PTMs in cell and tissue samples without preconceived biases about where these modified sites occur.

    Background

    The CMGC super family of proline-directed protein kinases is a highly conserved and ancient group of proteins that phosphorylate a wide array of substrates involved in stress response, growth and differentiation, and cell division cycle. The consensus sequences targeted by MAPK, SAPK/JNK, CDK, CKII, ERK, and GSK all include a serine or threonine phosphorylation site followed by a proline (1-3). Cell Signaling Technology has developed antibodies that specifically bind to phospho-(S/T)P motifs to enable the study of a large proportion of the phospho-proteome and to identify new substrates of the CMGC kinases.
