Table I. O-GlcNAc-modified peptides from rat and human IRS-1.

Phosphorylated forms of these peptides are also shown. p, phosphorylation, g, O-GlcNAc modification. References previously reporting sites of posttranslational modification are indicated in parentheses. The following chemical modifications occurred during sample preparation (data not shown). Peptides with N-terminal glutamine were partially cyclized to pyroglutamic acid. Peptides were observed with and without oxidation of methionine. Residues 892–922 were observed with +126 Da at Tyr895 most likely due to iodination occurring during alkylation of Cys with iodoacetamide. BEMAD, β-elimination and Michael addition with dithiothreitol.
