REAGENTS FOR THE DETECTION OF PROTEIN ACETYLATION SIGNALING PATHWAYS

摘要

The invention discloses 426 novel acetylation sites identified in signal transduction proteins and pathways underlying human protein acetylation signaling pathways, and provides acetylation-site specific antibodies and heavy-isotope labeled peptides (AQUA peptides) for the selective detection and quantification of these acetylated sites/proteins, as well as methods of using the reagents for such purpose. Among the acetylation sites identified are sites occurring in the following protein types: Methyltransferases, Transcription factors, Transcription coactivators, Translation initiation complex proteins, Oxireductases, Protein kinases, RNA binding proteins, Secreted proteins, Transferases, Transporter proteins, Ubiquitin conjugating system proteins, Motor proteins, Phosphotases, Proteases, Phospholipases, Receptor proteins and Vesicle proteins.
