This study investigates the phosphorylation sites of the FOXO3a protein using Edman degradation and mass spectrometry. Four peaks were identified, each corresponding to specific phosphorylated regions: Peak 1 (residues 291-298 at S294), Peak 2 (residues 420-444 at S425), Peak 3 (residues 324-368 at S344), and Peak 4 (12 C-terminal residues of the GST tag and residues 1-27 at S12). Notably, the apparent release of 32P at cycle 17 in Peak 3 suggests that coupling to the solid phase support may occur through the aspartic acid side-chain carboxyl group.

A B C D Supplementary Figure S3. Edman degradation and mass spectrometry analysis of 32P phosphorylated FOXO3a peptides A. Peak 1 contained a peptide corresponding to residues 291-298 of FOXO3a phosphorylated at S294. B. Peak 2 contained a peptide corresponding to residues 420-444 of FOXO3a phosphorylated at S425. C. Peak 3 contained a peptide corresponding to residues 324-368 of FOXO3a phosphorylated at S344. D. Peak 4 contained a peptide corresponding to the 12 C-terminal residues of the GST tag and residues 1-27 of FOXO3a phosphorylated at S12. The apparent release of 32P at cycle 17 in peak 3 can be explained by the coupling of a proportion of the peptide to the solid phase support solely through the side-chain carboxyl group of the aspartic acid residue.
