Ubiquitin-AQUA/PRM analysis of ubiquitin fragments with GG modifications in lysine residues
Amounts are shown in fmol, and the percentage for each fragment is shown in parentheses.

a Three independent reaction products were analyzed as described previously (33), and the averages are shown.
b The amounts of the TITLE (TITLEVESSDTIDNVLK) fragment were determined as internal controls.
c Total ubiquitin levels were assessed as the sum of TITLE, Lys11(GG), and Lys27(GG) fragments. Because the TITLE fragment is between Lys11 and Lys27, generation of these fragments is mutually exclusive.
d The amounts of unmodified ubiquitin were calculated by subtraction of the amount of total GG-modified fragments from that of total ubiquitin.
e ND, not detected.
f NA, not applicable because of the mutation.
