Protein phosphorylation is the most important type of reversible post-translational modification involved in the regulation of cellular signal-transduction processes. In addition to controlling normal cellular physiology on the molecular level, perturbations of phosphorylation-based signaling networks and cascades have been implicated in the onset and progression of various human diseases. Recent advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics helped to overcome many of the previous limitations in protein phosphorylation analysis. Improved isotope labeling and phosphopeptide enrichment strategies in conjunction with more powerful mass spectrometers and advances in data analysis have been integrated in highly efficient phosphoproteomics workflows, which are capable of monitoring up to several thousands of site-specific phosphorylation events within one large-scale analysis. Combined with ongoing efforts to define kinase-substrate relationships in intact cells, these major achievements have considerable potential to assess phosphorylation-based signaling networks on a system-wide scale. Here, we provide an overview of these exciting developments and their potential to transform signal-transduction research into a technology-driven, high-throughput science.
