Synthetic isotope labeled phosphopeptides are valuable tools for the quantification and validation of phosphoproteome data. Here, we report that the same set of phosphopeptides, which are used as spike-in standards, can be successfully applied for identification of stimulus specific protein-protein interactions mediated by the respective phosphorylation sites. As a proof-of-concept, binding of two γH2AX (pS139) phosphosite specific interaction partners, MDC1 and 53BP1, was confirmed and elevated binding affinity was revealed in response to ionizing radiation. Our strategy is generally applicable and enables multiplexed validation and functional analysis of phosphorylation sites offering great potential for the follow-up of phosphoproteome studies.

β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation represents a major mechanism of modulating cardiac output. In spite of its fundamental importance, its molecular basis on the level of cell signalling has not been characterised in detail yet. We employed mass spectrometry-based proteome and phosphoproteome analysis using SuperSILAC (spike-in stable isotope labelling by amino acids in cell culture) standardization to generate a comprehensive map of acute phosphoproteome changes in mice upon administration of isoprenaline (ISO), a synthetic β-AR agonist that targets both β1-AR and β2-AR subtypes.

Dicer is an essential ribonuclease involved in the biogenesis of miRNAs. Previous studies have reported downregulation of Dicer in multiple cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma. To identify signaling pathways that are altered upon Dicer depletion, we carried out quantitative phosphotyrosine profiling of liver tissue from Dicer knockout mice.

Investigation of receptor interacting protein (RIP3)-dependent protein phosphorylation by quantitative phosphoproteomics.

Mol Cell Proteomics

December 2012

State Key Laboratory of Cellular Stress Biology and School of Life Sciences, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian 361005, China.

Receptor interacting protein 3 (RIP3) is a protein kinase that plays a key role in programmed necrosis. Despite the importance of RIP3-dependent necrosis in many pathological processes, current knowledge on the function of RIP3 is very limited. Here we present the results of a proteome-wide analysis of RIP3-regulated phosphorylation sites using cells from wildtype (RIP3(+/+)) and RIP3 knockout (RIP3(-/-)) mice.
