以标准蛋白质α-酪蛋白的酶解液作为研究对象,考察流动相pH值对磷酸化肽在Click OEG-CD材料上富集选择性的影响。首先以磷酸苯二钠作为模型化合物考察流动相pH值对其在Click OEG-CD材料上的保留影响,结果表明当pH值低于磷酸根的pK_a值时,磷酸苯二钠难以电离,与材料的离子交换作用较弱,因而保留也较弱。然后在亲水模式下流动相pH值分别为2, 4, 6时考察Click OEG-CD材料对α-酪蛋白的酶解液中磷酸化肽的富集选择性影响。结果表明,当流动相pH为2时,磷酸化肽不能被材料富集;当pH为4时,磷酸化肽能够被富集,而且洗脱窗口较窄;当pH为6时,磷酸化肽也能够被富集,但是洗脱窗口较宽。因此适合亲水模式下富集磷酸化肽的流动相pH值为4。本研究结果能够为今后将Click OEG-CD材料更好的应用于磷酸化肽富集提供有意义的借鉴。

Highly specific enrichment of phosphopeptides by zirconium dioxide nanoparticles for phosphoproteome analysis

Large-scale characterization of phosphoproteins requires highly specific methods for the purification of phosphopeptides because of the low abundance of phosphoproteins and substoichiometry of phosphorylation. A phosphopeptide enrichment method using ZrO2 nanoparticles is presented. The high specificity of this approach was demonstrated by the isolation of phosphopeptides from the digests of model phosphoproteins. The strong affinity of ZrO2 nanoparticles to phosphopeptides enables the specific enrichment of phosphopeptides from a complex peptide mixture in which the abundance of phosphopeptides is two orders of magnitude lower than that of nonphosphopeptides. Superior selectivity of ZrO2 nanoparticles for the enrichment of phosphorylated peptides than that of conventional immobilized metal affinity chromatography was observed. Femtomole phosphopeptides from digestion products could be enriched by ZrO2 nanoparticles and can be well detected by MALDI mass spectrometric analysis. ZrO2 nanoparticles were further applied to selectively isolate phosphopeptides from the tryptic digestion of mouse liver lysate for phosphoproteome analysis by nanoliter LC MS/MS (nano-LC-MS/MS) and MS/MS/MS. A total of 248 defining phosphorylation sites and 140 phosphorylated peptides were identified by manual validation using a series of rigid criteria.     

Rapid enrichment of phosphopeptides by BaTiO3 nanoparticles after microwave-assisted tryptic digest of phosphoproteins, and their identification by MALDI-MS

We show that BaTiO₃ nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as a novel substrate for the rapid enrichment of phosphopeptides from microwave tryptic digests of α-casein and non-fat milk prior to their identification by MALDI-MS. Protein digestion is achieved by microwave tryptic digest for 50?s, and the resulting phosphopeptides can be effectively adsorbed on the surfaces of the NPs. The phosphopeptides were selectively detected via MALDI-MS. Digestion, enrichment and detection are accomplished within ～60?min. The method was applied to the indentification of 24 phosphopeptides from α-casein and of 21 phosphopeptides (of the α-casein type) from nonfat milk.

Isolation of phosphopeptides using zirconium-chlorophosphonazo chelate-modified silica nanoparticles

Due to the low abundance of phosphoproteins and substoichiometry of phosphorylation, the elucidation of protein phosphorylation requires highly specific materials for isolation of phosphopeptides from biological samples prior to mass spectrometric analysis. In this study, chlorophosphonazo type derivatives of chromotropic acid including p-hydroxychlorophosphonazo (HCPA) and chlorophosphonazo I (CPA I), traditionally used in the photometric determination of transition metal ions, have been employed as chelating ligands in the preparation of novel affinity materials for phosphopeptide enrichment. The chromogenic reagents of HCPA and CPA I were chemically modified on the surface of silica nanoparticles, and the functionalized materials were charged with zirconium ions through the strong complexation between chelating ligands and Zr(4+). The obtained zirconium-chlorophosphonazo chelate-modified silica nanoparticles (Zr-HCPA-SNPs and Zr-CPA I-SNPs) were applied to the selective enrichment of phosphopeptides, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis. The purification procedures were optimized using α-casein digest at first, and then the performance of these two affinity materials for efficient and specific enrichment of phosphopeptides was evaluated with the tryptic digests of standard proteins (α-casein, β-casein, ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin). It is found that Zr-HCPA-SNPs are superior to Zr-CPA I-SNPs in phosphopeptide enrichment. Using Zr-HCPA-SNPs to trap phosphopeptides in α-casein digest, the detection limit was close to 50fmol based on MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Finally, Zr-HCPA-SNPs were used to directly isolate phosphopeptides from diluted human serum of healthy, diabetes and hypertension persons, respectively. Our results show that the constitution and level of phosphopeptides are remarkably different among the three groups, which indicate the powerful potentials of Zr-HCPA-SNPs in disease diagnosis and biomarker screening.     

Use of polyethylenimine-modified magnetic nanoparticles for highly specific enrichment of phosphopeptides for mass spectrometric analysis

Phosphopeptides have been isolated and concentrated by use of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified magnetic nanoparticles as an extremely specific affinity probe. The particles specifically captured phosphopeptides from a tryptic digest of a protein mixture that contained 0.07% (mole/mole) phosphoproteins, which is the highest specificity obtained to date. The time required for enrichment of the phosphopeptides was 1 min only. PEI-modified magnetic nanoparticles carry positive charges over a wide range of pH—between 3 and 11. This feature means the particles are effectively dispersed in solution during phosphopeptide capture. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the very high efficiency of enrichment of phosphopeptides that contain both single and multiply-phosphorylated sites. The detection limit in the analysis of phosphopeptides obtained from both bovine α-casein and β-casein by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was 5 fmol. This approach was also used to enrich the phosphopeptides in a protein digest obtained from non-fat milk.     

Zirconium arsenate-modified silica nanoparticles for specific capture of phosphopeptides and direct analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

In this paper, we report, as far as we are aware, the first use of zirconium arsenate-modified silica nanoparticles (ZrAs-SNPs) for specific capture of phosphopeptides, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (MALDI MS) analysis. Under the optimized enrichment conditions, the efficiency and specificity of ZrAs-SNPs were evaluated with tryptic digests of four standard proteins (α-casein, β-casein, ovalbumin, and bovine serum albumin) and compared with those of titanium arsenate-modified silica nanoparticles (TiAs-SNPs). The results showed that more selective enrichment of multiply phosphorylated peptides was observed with ZrAs-SNPs than with TiAs-SNPs whereas TiAs-SNPs resulted in slightly better recovery of singly phosphorylated peptides. ZrAs-SNPs were chosen for direct capture of phosphopeptides from diluted human serum of healthy and adenocarcinoma individuals. Our experimental profiling of serum phosphopeptides revealed that the level of phosphorylated fibrinogen peptide A was up-regulated in the serum of adenocarcinoma patients in comparison with healthy adults. This suggests the possibility of using ZrAs-SNPs for discovery of biomarkers of the pathogenesis process of tumors.

Two-step on-particle ionization/enrichment via a washing- and separation-free approach: multifunctional TiO2 nanoparticles as desalting, accelerating, and affinity probes for microwave-assisted tryptic digestion of phosphoproteins in ESI-MS and MALDI-MS: comparison with microscale TiO2

We introduce a simplified sample preparation method using bare TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) to serve as multifunctional nanoprobes (desalting, accelerating, and affinity probes) for effective enrichment of phosphopeptides from microwave-assisted tryptic digestion of phosphoproteins (α-casein, β-casein and milk) in Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The results demonstrate that TiO₂ NPs can effectively enrich and accelerate the digestion reactions of phosphoproteins in aqueous solutions and also from complex real samples. After the microwave experiments, we directly injected the resulting solutions into the ESI-MS and MALDI-MS systems for analysis, and excellent sensitivity was achieved without the need for any washing procedure or separation process. The reasons are attributed to the high binding affinity and selectivity of TiO₂ NPs toward phosphopeptides. Thus, phosphopeptides can be adsorbed onto the TiO₂ NP surface. The digested or partially digested phosphoproteins can be concentrated onto the TiO₂ NP surface. This results in the effective or complete digestion of phosphoproteins in a short period of time (45 s). In addition, high sensitivity and sequence coverage of phosphopeptide can be obtained using TiO₂ NPs as microwave absorbers and affinity probes in MALDI-MS and ESI-MS. This is due to the photocatalytic nature of the TiO₂ NPs because the absorption of microwave radiation that can accelerate the activation of trypsin for efficient digestion of phosphoproteins and enhances the ionization of phosphopeptides. The lowest concentrations detected for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS were 0.1 μM and 10 fmol, respectively, for α-casein. Comparing the two-step approach of TiO₂ NPs with microscale TiO₂ particles, the microscale TiO₂ particles shows no effect on the microwave-assisted tryptic digestion of phosphoproteins. The current approach offers multiple advantages, such as great simplicity, high sensitivity and selectivity, straightforward and separation/washing-free technique for phosphorpeptide enrichment analysis.

Nanoparticle-modified monolithic pipette tips for phosphopeptide enrichment

We have developed nanoparticle-modified monoliths in pipette tips for selective and efficient enrichment of phosphopeptides. The 5 μL monolithic beds were prepared by UV-initiated polymerization in 200 μL polypropylene pipette tips and either iron oxide or hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were used for monolith modification. Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method and stabilized by citrate ions. A stable coating of iron oxide nanoparticles on the pore surface of the monolith was obtained via multivalent electrostatic interactions of citrate ions on the surface of nanoparticles with a quaternary amine functionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were incorporated into the poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith by simply admixing them in the polymerization mixture followed by in situ polymerization. The nanoparticle-modified monoliths were compared with commercially available titanium dioxide pipette tips. Performance of the developed and commercially available sorbents was demonstrated with the efficient and selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from peptide mixtures of α-casein and β-casein digests followed by off-line MALDI/MS analysis.
