Abstract
Detection of endogenous ubiquitination sites by mass spectrometry has dramatically improved with the commercialization of anti-di-glycine remnant (K-ε-GG) antibodies. Here, we describe a number of improvements to the K-ε-GG enrichment workflow, including optimized antibody and peptide input requirements, antibody cross-linking, and improved off-line fractionation prior to enrichment. This refined and practical workflow enables routine identification and quantification of ∼20,000 distinct endogenous ubiquitination sites in a single SILAC experiment using moderate amounts of protein input.
