Distribution of the identified 14 PTMs in the sequence of human serum albumin
Panels show the distribution of PTMs annotated in Table 1. The upper panel shows 8 PTMs observed in HSA exposed to aggressive breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-468. The lower panel shows 6 PTMs identified in HSA exposed to conditionally tumorigenic MCF7 cells, or kept in water, or in the cell culture medium. The sequence of HSA (accession number P02768) corresponds to a pro-form of albumin of 609 amino acids length. PTMs are colour coded, the same colour coding is used in Figures 3 and 4.
