Future outlook of PTMs research. To date, there are several PTM databases, and each one contains thousands of proteins and overlapping parts. PTM crosstalk regulates multiple PTMs on the same or different protein substrates. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a commonly used tool to study PTMs, and MS-based different PTM omics indicate the potential crosstalk. Recently, the proteolysis-targeted chimerism (PROTAC) technology for targeted protein degradation is an innovative strategy to treat various diseases. PhosTAC focuses on recruiting Ser/Thr phosphatase into phosphate matrices to mediate, which can uniquely provide targeted function gain opportunities to manipulate protein activity. PhosTAC works similarly to PROTAC and has great potential as biological and pharmacological tools. The figure is generated with BioRender (https://biorender.com)
