Description
PTMScan® Technology employs a proprietary methodology from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) for peptide enrichment by immunoprecipitation using a specific bead-conjugated antibody in conjunction with liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for quantitative profiling of post-translational modification (PTM) sites in cellular proteins. These include phosphorylation (PhosphoScan®), ubiquitination (UbiScan®), acetylation (AcetylScan®), and methylation (MethylScan®), among others. PTMScan® Technology enables researchers to isolate, identify, and quantitate large numbers of post-translationally modified cellular peptides with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, providing a global overview of PTMs in cell and tissue samples without preconceived biases about where these modified sites occur (1).

Background
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is highly conserved from yeast to plants and animals and plays a key role in the regulation of energy homeostasis (2). The kinase is activated by an elevated AMP/ATP ratio due to cellular and environmental stress, such as heat shock, hypoxia, and ischemia (2). Several mutations in AMPKγ subunits have been identified, most of which are located in the putative AMP/ATP binding sites (CBS or Bateman domains). Mutations at these sites lead to reduction of AMPK activity and cause glycogen accumulation in heart or skeletal muscle (2,3). Accumulating evidence indicates that AMPK not only regulates the metabolism of fatty acids and glycogen, but also modulates protein synthesis and cell growth through EF2 and TSC2/mTOR pathways, as well as blood flow via eNOS/nNOS (2).AMPK Substrate Motif (LXRXXS

Revision 4
The Motif Logo shows the amino acid distributions around the sites recognized by the antibody.
Chart showing the proportion of underlying sequence motifs found in a PTMScan® study using AMPK substrate antibody and Orbitrap LC-MS analysis. Analysis of peptides from H1650 cells gave 187 non-redundant sites containing AMPK substrate and related motifs. The primary motifs are highlighted in white. 83% of these sites contain phosphoserine, and the proportion with leucine or methionine residues at the -5 position and arginine at the -3 position (AMPK substrate motif) was 41%. Although this antibody has a preference for the AMPK substrate motif, it also recognizes peptides with just an arginine residue at the -3 position.
