Abstract:

Objective  To investigate glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) lysine acetylated modification in the spinal cord tissue of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) model mouse.  Methods  After 3 ALS mice about 4 months old were sacrificed with anesthesia, total protein was extracted by RIPA lysis buffer; GFAP and Pan-AC protein expression were identified by immunoprecipitation and western blotting. Then IP-purified GFAP protein was analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results  IP-purified GFAP protein from ALS mice was acetylated in lysine residues, and the GFAP 394 and 402 lysine residues were confirmed by LC-MS/MS. Conclusion  The lysine residue of GFAP can be modified by acetylation, which may participate in the occurrence of ALS.

Key words: Glial fibrillary acidic protein; Acetylated modification; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; LC-MS/MS
