ExercisesProteomicsIII Exercise 1 The Phosphosite Plus datatabasecontains a large amountofdatafromvariousmodification-proteomicsstudies. Start withsome simple operations: I am currentlyworking on a proteincalled RNF216. Which PTMs of RNF216 havebeenobserved, andwhichoneshavebeenseen multiple times? Consideronlythe PTMs seenat least 5 times: howdoesthemodifiedposition in thesequencerelatetohomologydomains (askInterpro). Comparethesituationof human andmurine RNF216. Have a lookatthetargetsofprotein kinases CDK2, PKA, CK2A1 and CK2A2. Comparethesequencelogos. Exercise 2 UsePhosphosite Plus tosearchfor MS-Proteomicsprojectsthatstudy phosphorylation in endothelialcelllines. What was themostfrequentlyusedstimulus in thesestudies? Select two different studiesandcomparethelistofidentified phosphorylation targets. Create a VENN diagramofthetwoprojects (on theproteinlevel - duplicatesremoved). Howbigistheoverlapofthetwodatasets? Whatoverlapwouldhavebeenexpected in a randomizedsituation, assuming 20.000 detectableproteins? Exercise3 Therearetwoeukarotic linear motifswith a conserved Tyr-phosphorylation sitecalled 'ITAM' and 'ITIM'. Searchtheinternet, theliterature, or a suitable linear motifdatabasefor a definitionofthesetwomotifs, includingtheconservationpatternandsomeexampleproteinsthatcontainthesemotifs.
