Abstract

Current methods have limited ability in directly quantifying the extent of glutathionylation on specific protein-cysteines. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Ahn etal.1 report G-ICAT (glutathione-based isotope-coded affinity tag), aimed at addressing this limitation. G-ICAT identifies Cysteine-692 within p120-catenin-a member of cadherin complex essential for cell-cell-contact maintenance-where C692-specific glutathionylation promotes E-cadherin destabilization.
