Current methods have limited ability in directly quantifying the extent of glutathionylation on specific protein-cysteines. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Ahn et al. report G-ICAT (glutathione-based isotope-coded affinity tag), aimed at addressing this limitation. G-ICAT identifies Cysteine-692 within p120-catenin-a member of cadherin complex essential for cell-cell-contact maintenance-where C692-specific glutathionylation promotes E-cadherin destabilization.

Identification of cysteines with high oxidation susceptibility is important for understanding redox-mediated biological processes. In this report, we report a chemical proteomic strategy that finds cysteines with high susceptibility to S-glutathionylation. Our proteomic strategy, named clickable glutathione-based isotope-coded affinity tag (G-ICAT), identified 1,518 glutathionylated cysteines while determining their relative levels of glutathionylated and reduced forms upon adding hydrogen peroxide.
