Our primary research interest lies in the field of phosphoproteomes (with a particular interest on acidic phosphoproteomes) and signaling pathways controlled by protein kinases. In the last years we are assisting to a rapid and enormous expansion of mass spectrometry technologies combined with innovative experimental strategies that have given a tremendous boost to the identification of phosphosites in proteins. This huge amount of phosphosites is largely uncharacterized and almost completely unknown is the impact of these modifications on protein and cell functions. Our current research projects all relate to work out regulatory mechanisms based on phosphorylation in different signal transduction pathways; this entails the analysis of phosphopeptide databases, the characterization of the cellular functions of phosphosites identified in key proteins implied in human diseases and the identification of the involved kinases. Knowledge of the functional link between kinase and specific phosphosites is indeed of keen interest as protein kinases could represent important pharmacological targets for the treatment of many human disorders.
