Protein S-glutathionylation is an important post-translational modification that maintains redox homeostasis in response to stress, but its physiological role is not well understood. In this study, the authors developed a robust and optimized methodology for high-accuracy quantification and identification of S-glutathionylated targets in an animal model. They also established a number of S-glutathionylation pathways related to energy metabolism.
Grx1 is used to derivatize free thiol groups from S-glutathionylated proteins, which are then isolated by binding to thiopropyl Sepharose 6B beads. Then they identified and quantified these in vivo targets of S-glutathionylation using isobaric tandem mass tags (TMTs) with six-fold multiplexing. After TMT labelling and nLC?MS/MS analysis, a total of 743 proteins were identified from mouse liver lysates. |
