Working in tandem with kinases via a dynamic interplay of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins, phosphatases regulate many cellular processes and thus represent compelling therapeutic targets. Here we leverage ultraviolet photodissociation to shed light on the binding characteristics of two covalent phosphatase inhibitors, T65 and rabeprazole, and their respective interactions with the human small C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (SCP1) and its single-point mutant C181A, in which a nonreactive alanine replaces one key reactive cysteine. Top-down MS/MS analysis is used to localize the binding of T65 and rabeprazole on the two proteins and estimate the relative reactivities of each cysteine residue.
