MS/MS analysis of HBZ ubiquitination sites. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with S-tagged HBZ, FLAG-UB, and FLAG-UBR5 expression vectors. S-tagged HBZ was purified from lysates of transfected HEK293T cells using S beads. The purified HBZ was resolved by SDS-PAGE prior to MS/MS analysis. Representative MS/MS fragmentation spectra are shown for the following two HBZ peptides: (A) DKEEEAVLDGLLSLEEES where lysine 37 is ubiquitinated. Mascot Ion score = 144.5. and (B) KLLQEKEDLMGEVNYWQ where lysines 181 and 186 are ubiquitinated. Mascot Ion score = 52.2. (C) Summary of MS results. The complete HBZ sequence is shown and the protein segments detected by MS/MS analysis are underlined. A schematic is provided to indicate ubiquitination sites on HBZ with respect to individual protein domains.
