Description
Summary:To date, the effects of specific modification types and sites on protein lifetime have not been systematically illustrated. Here, we describe a proteomic method, DeltaSILAC, to quantitatively assess the impact of site-specific phosphorylation on the turnover of thousands of proteins in live cells. Based on the accurate and reproducible mass spectrometry-based method, a pulse labeling approach using stable isotope-labeled amino acids in cells (pSILAC), phosphoproteomics, and a unique peptide-level matching strategy, our DeltaSILAC profiling revealed a global, unexpected delaying effect of many phosphosites on protein turnover. We further found that phosphorylated sites accelerating protein turnover are functionally selected for cell fitness, enriched in Cyclin-dependent kinase substrates, and evolutionarily conserved, whereas the glutamic acids surrounding phosphosites significantly delay protein turnover. Our method represents a generalizable approach and provides a rich resource for prioritizing the effects of phosphorylation sites on protein lifetime in the context of cell signaling and disease biology. [Display omitted] •A proteomic method reveals site-specific phosphorylation impacts protein degradation•Many phosphorylation sites delay protein turnover in growing cells•Phosphosites involved in cell cycle and cell fitness destabilize protein expression•Glutamic acids surrounding phosphosites significantly delay protein turnover By developing and applying a large-scale mass spectrometry-based method, Wu and Ba et al. quantitatively assessed the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of phosphorylation on protein expression. The findings revealed that phosphorylation impacts protein degradation in a site-specific manner, which is associated with surrounding amino acids, local structure, and phosphoprotein functions.
