Quantification of Protein Palmitoylation by Cysteine-SILAC

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2603:59-69. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2863-8_5.

Abstract

Cysteine-SILAC enables the detection and quantification of protein S-palmitoylation, an important protein posttranslational modification. Here we describe the cell culture, protein extraction, selective enrichment, mass spectrometry, and data analysis for palmitoylated proteins from cell samples by this method.

Keywords: Cysteine-SILAC; Mass spectrometry; Metabolic labeling; Protein palmitoylation; Selective enrichment.
