The S-palmitoylated and S-farnesylated signal transducing H-and N-Ras GTPases play important roles in cell growth, division and differentiation and are frequently mutated in melanoma, leukemia and cancers of the bladder, liver and kidney.[1-3] Dynamic S-palmitoylation and S-depalmitoylation of H-and N-Ras by palmitoyl transferases and thioesterases determines proper Ras localization and signalling in cells.[4] Interference with the Ras-de/reacylation cycle by inhibition of depalmitoylation with the ß-lactone acyl protein thioesterase 1 (APT1) inhibitors Palmostatin B[5] or Palmostatin M [6](Figure 1) disturbs H-and N-Ras precise steady-state localization, and results in down regulation of global Ras signalling. Palmostatin B does not inhibit several phosphodiesterases with potential relevance to Ras signalling.[5] However, it remains unclear whether APT1 is the only Ras-depalmitoylating enzyme in cells and whether Palmostatin B and M target additional proteins relevant to the Ras cycle, in particular the related isoenzyme APT2.[7]Since the Palmostatins are acylating reagents and, as in the case of APT1, inhibit their target proteins through reversible acylation of active-site nucleophiles,[5] their chemical nature offers an opportunity for target identification by means of activity-based proteome profiling (ABPP) through slow reactive proteomics.[8-9] In ABPP, chemical probes with balanced reactivity are employed to tag, isolate and identify enzyme targets based on their mechanism of enzymatic catalysis. Typically, the reaction of a nucleophile in the enzyme active site with an electrophile embedded in a selective probe is employed. Previously, ß-lactone-based probes have successfully been used for profiling of bacterial [10-11] plant,[12] as well as mammalian proteomes.[13] A frequently applied strategy to facilitate target isolation by means of reactive proteomics is a bioorthogonal ligation of
