Phosphorylation of TET proteins is regulated via O-GlcNAcylation by the glycosyltransferase OGT.
Published: January, 2015

Abstract: TET proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine (mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC), 5-formylcytosine (fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (caC) and thus provide a possible means for active DNA demethylation in mammals. Although their catalytic mechanism is well c...

Sequestration by IFIT1 impairs translation of 2'O-unmethylated capped RNA.
Published: October, 2013

Abstract: Viruses that generate capped RNA lacking 2'O methylation on the first ribose are severely affected by the antiviral activity of Type I interferons. We used proteome-wide affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry to identify human and mous...

Mutant IDH1 promotes leukemogenesis in vivo and can be specifically targeted in human AML.
Published: August, 2013

Abstract: Mutations in the metabolic enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and 2 (IDH2) are frequently found in glioma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), melanoma, thyroid cancer and chondrosarcoma patients. Mutant IDH produces 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), whi...

The complete targeted profile of the organic acid intermediates of the citric acid cycle using a single stable isotope dilution analysis, sodium borodeuteride reduction and selected ion monitoring GC/MS
Published: April, 2013

Abstract: The quantitative profiling of the organic acid intermediates of the citric acid cycle (CAC) presents a challenge due to the lack of commercially available internal standards for all of the organic acid intermediates. We developed an analytical met...

The oxidized thiol proteome in fission yeast--optimization of an ICAT-based method to identify H2O2-oxidized proteins.
Published: October, 2011

Abstract: Major intracellular disulfide formation is prevented in the cytosol by potent reducing systems. However, protein thiols can be oxidized as a consequence of redox-mediated physiological reactions or due to the unwanted toxicity of reactive oxygen s...

Simultaneous quantitative analysis of N-acylethanolamides in clinical samples.
Published: December, 2009

Abstract: A simple and rapid analytical method is described for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of three different N-acylethanolamides in human biological samples: anandamide (AEA), oleoylethanolamide (OEA), and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). The metho...
