After heating N alpha-acetyllysine and glucose for 4 h at 90 degrees C in the dry state and subsequent acid hydrolysis with 7.8 N HCl, preparative fractionation of the dihydrochlorides of furosine and pyridosine was achieved by cation-exchange chromatography. The

N(epsilon)-acetylation of lysine (1) is a reversible post-translational modification with a regulatory role that rivals that of phosphorylation in eukaryotes. No general methods exist to synthesize proteins containing N(epsilon)-acetyllysine (2) at defined sites. Here we demonstrate the site-specific incorporation of

We have previously shown that incubation of the model protein glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glu-6-PDH) from the bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major product of lipid peroxidation, results in the formation of cross-linked protein. HNE-modified protein is resistant to proteolytic

By overexpressing the C-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L11 to decrease release factor 1-mediated termination of protein translation, enhanced amber suppression is achieved in E. coli. This enhanced amber suppression efficiency allows the genetic incorporation of three N(epsilon)-acetyl-l-lysines into

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a powerful tool for characterization of post-translationally modified proteins, including epsilon-N-acetyllysine-containing species. Previous reports indicate that epsilon-N-acetyllysine immonium ions are useful marker ions for peptides containing epsilon-N-acetyllysine, but the specificity and sensitivity of these ions
