Fig. 8. Probe-modified cysteines by NAIA-5 are ligandable as revealed by competitive MS-based ABPP experiment using scout ligand.

Fig. 8

a Schematic cartoon illustrating the workflow of competitive MS-based ABPP experiment to determine protein targets of covalent ligands, as read out by the large LFQ (control/treated samples). Created using ChemDraw and MS Powerpoint. b The scout ligand, CL-Sc, shows binding onto 1177 cysteines probed by NAIA-5, i.e., these cysteines are ligandable. Among them, 616 are uniquely profiled by NAIA-5 and have not been found in the reported study of DBIA. c The number of probe-modified proteins being liganded by CL-Sc. d A liganded Cys591 on POLRMT is located close to the promoter-binding domain; PDB ID: 3SPA. e Left: A ligandable Cys392 on RAD21 is located at the interface of RAD21 and SA2. Right: zoom-in image showing Cys392 and other key residues at the binding interface of RAD21 and SA2. PDB ID: 4PJU.
