Nielsen YR 2020 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2020/01/28/2020.01.27.921650.abstract AB ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is a post-translational modification that plays pivotal roles in a wide range of cellular processes. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis of ADPr under physiological conditions, without relying on genetic or chemical perturbation, has been hindered by technical limitations. Here, we describe the applicability of Activated Ion Electron Transfer Dissociation (AI-ETD) for MS-based proteomics analysis of physiological ADPr using our unbiased Af1521 enrichment strategy. To benchmark AI-ETD, we profiled 9,000 ADPr peptides mapping to >5,000 unique ADPr sites from a limited number of cells exposed to oxidative stress, corresponding to 120% and 28% more ADPr peptides compared to contemporary strategies using ETD and EThcD, respectively. Under physiological conditions AI-ETD identified 450 ADPr sites on low-abundant proteins, including in vivo cysteine auto-modifications on PARP8 and tyrosine auto-modifications on PARP14, hinting at specialist enzymatic functions for these enzymes. Collectively, our data provides new insights into the physiological regulation of ADP-ribosylation.
