Multiple post-translational modification (PTM) proteomics typically combines PTM enrichment with multiplex isobaric labeling and peptide fractionation. However, effective methods for sequentially enriching multiple PTMs from a single sample for data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) remain lacking. We present SDS-cyclodextrin-assisted sample preparation (SCASP)-PTM, an approach that enables desalting-free enrichment of diverse PTMs, including phosphopeptides, ubiquitinated peptides, acetylated peptides, glycopeptides, and biotinylated peptides. SCASP-PTM uses SDS for protein denaturation, which is sequestered by cyclodextrins before trypsin digestion, facilitating sequential PTM enrichment without additional purification steps. Combined with DIA-MS, SCASP-PTM quantifies the proteome, ubiquitinome, phosphoproteome, and glycoproteome in HeLa-S3 cell samples, identifying serine 28 phosphorylation as a key driver of poly(I:C)-induced p62 degradation. This method also quantifies PTMs in clinical tissue samples, revealing the critical role of ALDOA K330 ubiquitination/acetylation in tumor progression. SCASP-PTM offers a streamlined workflow for comprehensive PTM analysis in both basic research and clinical applications.

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are efficient biological mechanisms for expanding the genetic code and for regulating cellular physiology. However, there have been no systematic approaches to profile all the PTMs critical for autoreactive neoantigen production or the etiology and pathology of autoimmune diseases. In the present study, to gain insight into protein PTMs associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we applied a mass spectrometry-based method for the comprehensive analysis of modified amino acids ("adductome").

KasA and KasB are promising drug targets against and infectious nontuberculous mycobacteria, while most lead compounds are in the preclinical development stage. Herein, a platensimycin (PTM) analogue library consisting of 340 members was first screened to identify 46 PTM thioethers with superior activity compared to that of PTM against . Next, 19 PTM thioethers were chosen and semisynthesized from PTM oxirane (), together with seven PTM ether derivatives and 6-ido, 6-bromo-, and 6-thiocyanato PTM.

Cdc37 is a kinase-specific co-chaperone that scaffolds protein kinase clients to the Hsp90 chaperone system. Although phosphorylation at residues S14 and S17 is known to regulate Cdc37 function, the broader role of phosphorylation across the protein remains unclear. To systematically investigate this, we created a "Cdc37 code collection," a set of 46 yeast strains expressing single phospho-site mutants of Cdc37, and performed phenotypic profiling across a wide panel of environmental and chemical stressors.

Background: Sepsis originates from the host's dysregulated response to pathogens, and its pathophysiological mechanisms are extremely complex. Recent research has found that post-translational modifications (PTMs) can regulate gene transcription without altering the genetic sequence, thereby playing a key role in the occurrence and development of sepsis.
Objective: This review aims to systematically categorize the main types of PTMs and elucidate their roles in the pathogenesis of sepsis, thereby providing new perspectives for a deeper understanding of the complex pathophysiological processes of this disease.

This systematic review evaluates the management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks following traumatic skull base fractures and examines the associated risk of post-traumatic meningitis (PTM). It also critically investigates the debated hypothesis that meningitis may promote spontaneous closure of defects in the dura mater through inflammation-induced healing. A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
