Abstract:

Protein ubiquitination plays critical roles in many biological  processes. However, functional studies of protein ubiquitination in  eukaryotic cells are limited by the ability to identify protein  ubiquitination sites. Unbiased high-throughput screening methods are  necessary to discover novel ubiquitination sites that play important  roles in cellular regulation. Here, we describe an immunopurifi cation  approach that enriches ubiquitin remnant-containing peptides to  facilitate downstream mass spectrometry (MS) identifi cation of lysine  ubiquitination sites. This approach can be utilized to identify  ubiquitination sites from proteins in a complex mixture.
