Over 2 years ago I did a tip of the week on Phosida (links to Phosida). Phosida is a database of phosphorylation, acetylation, and N-glycosylation data. Since the last tip, Phosida has undergone significant growth and some changes, including the addition of much more data (80,000 phosphorylation, acetylation and N-glycosylated sites from 9 different species) and tools [...]

I recently read an article in Science entitled “Lysine Acetylation Targets Protein Complexes and Co-Regulates Major Cellular Functions” written by Choudhary et al. The research uses “high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify 3600 lysine acetylation sites on 1750 proteins” and “demonstrate[s] that the regulatory scope of lysine acetylation is broad and comparable with that of other [...]
