Validation of protein post-translational modification

Issues in Validation of Post-Translational Modifications.

Why are proteins, detected by mass spectrometry, not validated by site-specific antibodies?

The modified motif could be detected by mass spectrometry (MS) after affinity enrichment, then the modified protein should be affinity-enriched for western-blotting validation, ELISA analysis with the the sequence-specific, modified

Can the sequece-specific modifed peptide antibody used for affinity-enrichment?

Yes !

Only if this modified peptide antibody is able to immunoprecipitation (IP) the modified proteins.

No!

Not all the peptide antibodies are able to perform IP studies, even if it could be utilized for Western blotting (WB).

By using the pan-specific modified amino acid antibodies to affinity-enrich all the modified proteins, you may selectively detect the target modified proteins by WB using modified sequence-specific antibodies.

For WB, you could only resolve maximum 100 ug/lane of crude proteins in SDS-PAGE, your target modified proteins in 100 ug of crude lysates may not be detectable and may also interfere with other abundant proteins, but you could enrich your target modified Proteins only from 1-10 mg of crude proteins, the enriched modified proteins could immediately be resolved in SDS-PAGE and become detectable level for WB.

Application Examples:

Three trimethylated sites of histone H3 enriched with 100 uL of the pan trimethyl lysine specific antibodies (ICP0610) Agarose (1 mg of the antibodies) from 5 mg crude proteins, detected by WB with three site-specific antibodies.
