Electroosmotic pump-assisted capillary electrophoresis of proteins

A new method for protein analysis, that is, electroosmotic pump-assisted capillary electrophoresis (EOPACE), is developed and demonstrated to possess several advantages over other CE-based techniques. The column employed in EOPACE consists of two linked sections, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-coated and uncoated capillaries. The PVA-coated capillary column is the section for protein electrophoresis in EOPACE. Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is almost completely suppressed in this hydrophilic polymer coated section, so protein electrophoresis in the PVA-modified capillary is free of irreversible protein adsorption to the capillary inner wall. The uncoated capillary section serves as an electroosmotic pump, since EOF towards cathode occurs at neutral pH in the naked silica capillary. By the separation of a protein mixture containing cytochrome c (Cyt-c), myoglobin and trypsin inhibitor, we have demonstrated the advantages of EOPACE method over other relevant ones such as pressure assisted CE, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with naked capillary and CZE with PVA-coated capillary. A significant feature of EOPACE is that simultaneous separation of cationic, anionic and uncharged proteins at neutral pH can be readily accomplished by a single run, which is impossible or difficult to realize by the other CE-based methods. The high column efficiency and good reproducibility in protein analysis by EOPACE are verified and discussed. In addition, separation of tryptic digests of Cyt-c with the EOPACE system is demonstrated.     

Development of a Capillary Electrophoresis Method to Monitor Protein Oxidation and Antioxidant Protection

The development of a new capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for the determination of protein oxidation by free radicals is described. The effects of various experimental conditions, such as type of capillary, pH, buffer concentration, capillary dimensions, temperature, applied voltage, and addition of some organic solvents, were investigated. The sample injection procedure was also optimized. Target proteins investigated here (lysozyme, human serum albumin, and β-lactoglobulin A) were effectively damaged by free radicals generated in the aqueous phase from 2,2′-azobis[2-amidinopropane] (AAPH). The new method allowed global protein fragmentation to be quantified as a function of time by monitoring the decrease in peak height of the native protein. Furthermore, the protective efficacy of antioxidants was assessed by concentration-inhibition curves against protein fragmentation. The method is thus suitable to screen compounds able to protect proteins against oxidative damage.

Whole-column imaging capillary electrophoresis of proteins with a short capillary

Whole-column imaging capillary electrophoresis with a short capillary is discussed. A short capillary (3-6 cm) coated with either fluorocarbon or polyacrylamide was used as a separation capillary. The whole capillary was illuminated with 280 nm light, and the transmitted light was monitored by a linear charge-coupled device (CCD). For the short capillary, hydrodynamic flow caused by a subtle height difference between the anodic and cathodic reservoirs affected the sample migration in the capillary greatly. Several sample injection methods, including use of a cross connection, sealing of the capillary ends with a gel, and use of a gel-filled capillary, have been discussed. The experimental results showed that the peak height decreased and peak width increased with the electromigration distance. Therefore, higher sensitivity was obtained in a short capillary rather than a long capillary. The whole-column imaging CE with the short capillary has been applied for the study of conjugation reactions of protein cytochrome c with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the dye Congo Red. The method has also been used for in situ monitoring of the electrophoretic protein desorption process. Our technique is a unique tool for the study of protein binding reactions and the interaction between analyte and inner wall of the capillary.     

毛细管电泳-激光诱导荧光检测法分析胃癌组织及癌旁正常组织蛋白质的差异性

胃癌是临床常见的恶性肿瘤之一。近年来寻找肿瘤相关特异蛋白质是蛋白质组学研究的热点。本文通过考察毛细管动态涂层方法、筛分介质聚环氧乙烷(PEO)的浓度、缓冲液的pH值、分离电压、温度及荧光染料对分离效果的影响,建立了毛细管电泳-激光诱导荧光法分离胃癌组织及癌旁正常组织蛋白质的方法;通过分离检测,获得两者的蛋白质指纹图谱。经分析,两者的指纹图谱相似度达到0.8以上,差异蛋白质分子质量集中在50000~100000 Da之间,提示某些小分子蛋白质可能是和肿瘤发生相关的特异蛋白质,从而缩小了特异性分子标记物的筛选范围。病理组织学分型及蛋白质电泳峰数目的统计结果验证了该方法的可靠性。该方法具有临床应用的潜力。     

Characterization of each isoform of a F(ab')2 by capillary electrophoresis.

Free solution capillary electrophoresis was investigated for the characterization of an M(r) 100 000 purified F(ab')2. Optimization of the experimental conditions allowed the identification of five separated peaks, suggesting the presence of isoforms which differed by only 0.2 pH unit. This heterogeneity was still detectable with 80 amol of protein. After a preparative separation by chromatofocusing, identification of each form was performed for the first time by capillary electrophoresis. A quantitative and qualitative correlation with isoelectric focusing showed that free solution capillary electrophoresis represents a sensitive method for revealing subtle differences in charge, even for large proteins.     

Determination of protein-ligand affinity constants from direct migration time in capillary electrophoresis

A simple method to calculate dissociation constants for protein-ligand interactions by partial-filling capillary electrophoresis is demonstrated. The method uses raw migration time data for the ligand and needs only additional information about capillary inner radius and the absolute amount of protein loaded. A theoretical study supported by experimental data also demonstrates that the retention of analyte in affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) using the partial-filling technique depends linearly on the absolute amount of selector added but is independent of both selector zone length and selector mobility. Factors such as field strength and electroosmotic flow are also cancelled out if they are kept constant. The theory is confirmed and the usefulness of the method is demonstrated by enantioseparations using alpha-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and cellulase (Cel 7A) as chiral selectors.     

Analysis of non-covalent protein complexes by capillary electrophoresis--time-of-flight mass spectrometry

A capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-TOF-MS) method for characterisation of non-covalent protein complexes is described using a coaxial liquid sheath-flow sprayer. The CE capillary was connected to the mass spectrometer using a commercial CE-MS sprayer mounted on a ceramic holder of the ESI interface of the mass spectrometer. Using myoglobin (Mb) as an example of non-covalent protein complex, the effect on complex stability caused by organic modifiers added to the sheath liquid was analysed. Depending on the amount of methanol, either intact Mb or the apoprotein and the prosthetic heme group were detected.     

A novel diazoresin/poly(N‐vinyl aminobutyric acid) covalent capillary coating for the analysis of proteins by capillary electrophoresis

A novel method for the preparation of covalently linked capillary coatings of poly(N‐vinyl aminobutyric acid) (PVAA) obtained from hydrolyzed polyvinylpyrrolidone was demonstrated using photosensitive diazoresin (DR) as a coupling agent. A layer‐by‐layer self‐assembled film of DR and PVAA based on ionic bonding was first fabricated on the inner wall of capillary, then ionic bonding was converted into covalent bonding after treatment with UV light through a unique photochemical reaction of DR. The covalently bonded coatings suppressed protein adsorption on the inner surface of the capillary, and thus a baseline separation of lysozyme, cytochrome c, BSA, amyloglucosidase, and myoglobin was achieved using CE. Compared with bare capillary or noncovalently bonded DR/PVAA coatings, the covalently linked DR/PVAA capillary coatings not only improved the CE separation performance for proteins, but also exhibited good stability and repeatability. Due to the replacement of the highly toxic and moisture‐sensitive silane coupling agent by DR in the covalent coating preparation, this method may provide a green and easy way to make covalently coated capillaries for CE.
