Introduction of antibodies specific for acetylated lysine has significantly improved the
detection of endogenous acetylation sites by mass spectrometry. Here, we describe a new,
commercially available mixture of anti-lysine acetylation (Kac) antibodies and show its utility
for in-depth profiling of the acetylome. Specifically, seven complementary monoclones with
high specificity for Kac were combined into a final anti-Kac reagent which results in at least a
twofold increase in identification of Kac peptides over a commonly used Kac antibody. We …
