ABSTRACT
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most common and important post-translational modifications that regulates almost all life processes. In particular, protein phosphorylation regulates the development of major diseases such as tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. For example, excessive phosphorylation of Tau protein can cause neurofibrillary tangles, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, large-scale methods for identifying protein phosphorylation must be developed. Rapid developmentin efficient enrichment methods and biological mass spectrometry technologies have enabled the large-scale identification of low-abundance protein O-phosphorylation modifications in, allowing for a more thorough study of their biological functions. The N-phosphorylation modifications that occur on the side-chain amino groups of histidine, arginine, and lysine have recently received increased attention. For example, the biological function of histidine phosphorylation in prokaryotes has been well studied; this type of modification regulates signal transduction and sugar metabolism. Two mammalian pHis kinases (NME1 and NME2) and three pHis phosphatases (PHPT1, LHPP, and PGAM5) have been successfully identified using various biological methods. N-Phosphorylation is involved in multiple biological processes, and its functions cannot be ignored. However, N-phosphorylation is unstable under acidic and thermal conditions owing to the poor chemical stability of the P-N bond. Unfortunately, the current O-phosphorylation enrichment method, which relies on acidic conditions, is unsuitable for N-phosphorylation enrichment, resulting in a serious lag in the large-scale identification of protein N-phosphorylation. The lack of enrichment methods has also seriously hindered studies on the biological functions of N-phosphorylation. Therefore, the development of efficient enrichment methods that target protein N-phosphorylation is an urgent undertaking. Research on N-phosphorylation proteome enrichment methods is limited, hindering functional research. Thus, summarizing such methods is necessary to promote further functional research. This article introduces the structural characteristics and reported biological functions of protein N-phosphorylation, reviews the protein N-phosphorylation modification enrichment methods developed over the past two decades, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. In this study, both antibody-based and nonantibody-dependent methods are described in detail. Owing to the stability of the molecular structure of histidine, the antibody method is currently limited to histidine phosphorylation enrichment research. Future studies will focus on the development of new enrichment ligands. Moreover, research on ligands will promote studies on other nonconventional phosphorylation targets, such as two acyl-phosphates (pAsp, pGlu) and S-phosphate (pCys). In summary, this review provides a detailed analysis of the history and development directions of N-phosphorylation enrichment methods.
