Abstract Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are integral to the regulation of protein function, characterising their role in this process is vital to understanding how cells work in both healthy and diseased states. Mass spectrometry (MS) facilitates the mass determination and sequencing of peptides, and thereby also the detection of site-specific PTMs. However, numerous challenges in this field continue to persist. The diverse chemical properties, low abundance, labile nature and instability of many PTMs, in combination with the more practical issues of compatibility with MS and bioinformatics challenges, contribute to the arduous nature of their analysis. In this review, we present an overview of the established MS-based approaches for analysing PTMs and the common complications associated with their investigation, including examples of specific challenges focusing on phosphorylation, lysine acetylation and redox modifications.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) catalyzes the reversible NADP+-dependent oxidation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (αKG). IDH1 mutations, primarily R132H, drive > 80% of low-grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas and facilitate the NADPH-dependent reduction of αKG to the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG). While the biochemical features of human WT and mutant IDH1 catalysis have been well-established, considerably less is known about mechanisms of regulation. Proteomics studies have identified lysine acetylation in WT IDH1, indicating post-translational regulation. Here, we generated lysine to glutamine acetylation mimic mutants in IDH1 to evaluate the effects on activity. We show that mimicking lysine acetylation decreased the catalytic efficiency of WT IDH1, with less severe catalytic consequences for R132H IDH1.

Histone acetylation is an important, reversible post-translational protein modification and a hallmark of epigenetic regulation. However, little is known about the dynamics of this process, due to the lack of analytical methods that can capture site-specific acetylation and deacetylation reactions. We present a new approach that combines metabolic and chemical labeling (CoMetChem) using uniformly 13C-labeled glucose and stable isotope labeled acetic anhydride. Thereby, chemically equivalent, fully acetylated histone species are generated enabling accurate relative quantification of site-specific lysine acetylation in tryptic peptides using high-resolution mass spectrometry. We show that CoMetChem enables site-specific quantification of the incorporation or loss of lysine acetylation over time, allowing the determination of reaction rates for acetylation and deacetylation. Thus, the CoMetChem methodology provides a comprehensive description of site-specific acetylation dynamics. <br>
