Reversible modifications of cysteine thiols play a significant role in redox signaling and regulation. A number of reversible redox modifications, including disulfide formation, S-nitrosylation, and S-glutathionylation, have been recognized for their significance in various physiological and pathological processes. Here we describe a procedure for the enrichment of peptides containing reversible cysteine modifications. Starting with tissue or cell lysate samples, all of the unmodified free thiols are blocked using N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). This is followed by the selective reduction of those cysteines bearing the reversible modification(s) of interest. The reduction is achieved by using different reducing reagents that react specifically with each type of cysteine modification (e.g., ascorbate for S-nitrosylation). This protocol serves as a general approach for enrichment of thiol-containing proteins or peptides derived from reversibly modified proteins. The approach utilizes a commercially available thiol-affinity resin (Thiopropyl Sepharose 6B) to directly capture free thiol-containing proteins through a disulfide exchange reaction followed by on-resin protein digestion and multiplexed isobaric labeling to facilitate LC–MS/MS based quantitative site-specific analysis of cysteine-based reversible modifications. The overall approach requires a simpler workflow with increased specificity compared to the commonly used biotinylation-based assays. The procedure for selective enrichment and analyses of S-nitrosylation and the level of total reversible cysteine modifications (or total oxidation) is presented to demonstrate the utility of this general strategy. The entire protocol requires approximately 3 days for sample processing with an additional day for LC-MS/MS and data analysis.
