Lysine methylation is an important post-translational modification of histone proteins that defines epigenetic status and controls heterochromatin formation, X-chromosome inactivation, genome imprinting, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation. Despite considerable efforts by chemical biologists to synthesize modified histones for use in

The gas-phase structures of protonated and alkali-metal-cationized lysine (Lys) and epsilon-N-methyllysine (Lys(Me)) are investigated using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser, in conjunction with ab initio calculations. IRMPD spectra of Lys.Li(+) and

The complete amino acid sequence of glutamate dehydrogenase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus has been determined. The sequence was reconstructed by automated sequence analysis of peptides obtained after cleavage by trypsin, cyanogen bromide, Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease and pepsin.
