Tristetraprolin (TTP) is a member of the CCCH zinc finger proteins and is an anti-inflammatory protein. Mice deficient in TTP develop a profound inflammatory syndrome with erosive arthritis, autoimmunity and myeloid hyperplasia. UP binds to mRNA AU-rich elements with high affinity for UUAUUUAUU nucleotides and causes destabilization of those mRNA molecules. UP is phosphorylated extensively in vivo and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases in vitro. A number of approaches have been used to identity its phosphorylation sites. This article highlights the recent progress and different approaches utilized for the identification of phosphorylation sites in mammalian UP Important but limited results are obtained using traditional methods, including in vivo labeling, site-directed mutagenesis, phosphopeptide mapping and protein sequencing. Mass spectrometry (MS), including MALDI/MS, MALDI/MS/MS, liquid chromatography/MS/MS, immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC)/MALDI/MS/MS and multidimensional protein identification technology has led the way in identifying TTP phosphorylation sites. The combination of these approaches has identified multiple phosphorylation sites in mammalian TTP, some of which are predicted by motif scanning to be phosphorylated by several protein kinases. This information should provide the molecular basis for future investigation of TTP's regulatory functions in controlling proinflammatory cytokines.
