This paper presents the recently introduced Off-Gel electrophoresis (OGE) technology as a versatile tool to reproducibly fractionate intact proteins and peptides into discrete liquid fractions. The coupling of two stages of OGE, i.e., the separation of intact proteins in a first-stage followed by fractionation of peptides derived from each protein fraction after proteolysis in a second stage, results in an array of 15 x 15 fractions that are directly amenable to additional peptide fractionation like reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPC). The analysis of all second-stage peptide fractions from only the first-stage protein fraction representing pH 5.0 -5.15 by on-line reverse-phase LC-tandem mass spectrometry resulted in the identification of 53 proteins (337 peptides), of which 10 were on different immunoglobulin (Ig) chains, with an input of only 1.5 mg human blood plasma proteins. Increasing the protein load to approximately 12 mg increased the number of identified proteins in the same protein fraction to 73 proteins (449 peptides), of which 15 were Ig-related. Immunodepletion of six of the most abundant proteins (albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, and alpha-1-antitrypsin) prior to first-stage OGE with an input of 1.5 mg of protein (equivalent to approximately 10 mg nondepleted plasma) resulted in the identification of 81 proteins (660 peptides), of which three were still Ig fragments. The pI-based separation of peptides appears to be nonuniform based on the theoretically determined pI values of identified peptides. This observation specifically accounts for the neutral zone (pI 5-8) and can be accounted for by the physicochemical properties of the peptides given by their amino acid composition. The power of OGE separation of proteins and peptides is discussed with a focus on the use of the knowledge about the pI of proteins and peptides that assist the validation of correct identifications together with the retention time of peptides on RPC. 相似文献

Peptide fractionation is extremely important for the comprehensive analysis of complex protein mixtures. Although a few comparisons of the relative separation efficiencies of 2‐D methodologies using complex biological samples have appeared, a systematic evaluation was conducted in this study. Four different fractionation methods, namely strong‐cation exchange, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, alkaline‐RP and solution isoelectric focusing, which can be used prior to LC‐MS/MS analysis, were compared. Strong‐cation exchange × RPLC was used after desalting the sample; significantly more proteins were identified, compared with the nondesalted sample (1990 and 1375). We also found that the use of a combination of analytical methods resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of unique peptides that could be identified, compared with only a small increase in protein levels. The increased number of distinct peptides that can be identified is especially beneficial, not only for unequivocally identifying proteins but also for proteomic studies involving posttranslational modifications and peptide‐based quantification approaches using stable isotope labeling. The identification and quantification of more peptides per protein provide valuable information that improves both the quantification of, and confidence of protein identification. 相似文献

In this study, we utilized a multidimensional peptide separation strategy combined with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the identification of proteins in human serum. After enzymatically digesting serum with trypsin, the peptides were fractionated using liquid-phase isoelectric focusing (IEF) in a novel ampholyte-free format. Twenty IEF fractions were collected and analyzed by reversed-phase microcapillary liquid chromatography (microLC)-MS/MS. Bioinformatic analysis of the raw MS/MS spectra resulted in the identification of 844 unique peptides, corresponding to 437 proteins. This study demonstrates the efficacy of ampholyte-free peptide autofocusing, which alleviates peptide losses in ampholyte removal strategies. The results show that the separation strategy is effective for high-throughput characterization of proteins from complex proteomic mixtures. 相似文献

A peptide mapping procedure was developed to identify and quantify methionine oxidation in recombinant human alpha1-antitrypsin. Due to the protein's complex structural biochemistry, chromatographic analysis of methionine containing digest peptides was a significant challenge. However, by using a combination of mass spectrometry, protein engineering, and high-temperature reversed-phase liquid chromatography, we were able to identify methionine residues that are susceptible to oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. and quantify their reactivity. Our results show that five of the protein's 10 methionine residues are susceptible to oxidation at neutral pH, four of which are localized to the active site region. 相似文献

High-throughput quantification with label-free methods has received considerable attention in electrospray ionization(ESI)-mass spectrometry(MS),but the manner by which MS signals respond to peptide concentration remains unclear in proteomics.We developed a new mathematical formula to describe the intrinsic log-log relationship between the MS intensity response and peptide concentration in an analytical ESI process.Experimental results showed that the calibration curve is fairly fit to the log-log formula with a linear dynamic range of approximate four to five orders of magnitude.However,we found that the ionization of analytical peptides can be severely suppressed by coexisting matrix peptides,such that the calibration curve can be poorly leveled off on both ends.Our study suggests that the interferences from coexisting matrix peptides should be reduced in the ESI process to use the log-log calibration curve successfully for the high-throughput quantification. 相似文献

Identification of nolR-regulated proteins in Sinorhizobium meliloti using proteome analysis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Extractable proteins from Sinorhizobium meliloti strains AK631 and EK698 (a Tn5-induced noIR-deficient mutant of AK631), grown in tryptone agar (TA) medium with or without the addition of the plant signal luteolin, were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and compared. Analysis of silver-stained gels showed that the noIR mutant had 189 proteins that were significantly altered in their levels (101 protein spots up- and 88 downregulated). Coomassie-stained preparative two-dimensional (2-D) gels or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes blotted from preparative gels showed that at least 52 of the altered proteins could be reproducibly detected and isolated from the noIR mutant. These 52 altered protein spots were classified into five groups based on an assessment of protein abundance by computer analysis and the effect of the presence or absence of luteolin addition to the growth medium. N-terminal microsequencing of 38 proteins revealed that the most striking feature of the consequence of the noIR mutation is the number and broad spectrum of cellular functions that are affected by the loss of the NoIR function. These include proteins involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, heat shock and cold shock proteins, protein synthesis, a translation elongation factor, oxidative stress and cell growth and maintenance functions. We propose that the NoIR repressor is a global regulatory protein which responds to environmental factors to fine-tune intracellular metabolism. 相似文献

Proteins "work together" by actually binding to form multicomponent complexes that carry out specific functions. Proteomic analyses based on the mass spectrum are now key methods to determine the components in protein complexes. The protein-protein interaction or functional association may be known to exist among the extracted protein spots while analyzing the proteins on the 2D gel. In this study, we develop an agent-based system, namely AgentMultiProtIdent, which integrated two protein identification tools and a variety of databases storing relations among proteins and used to discover protein-protein interactions and protein functional associations, and identify protein complexes and proteins with multiple peptide mass fingerprints as input. The system takes Multiple Peptide Mass Fingerprints (PMFs) as a whole in the protein complex or protein identification. With the relations among proteins, it may greatly improve the accuracy of identification of protein complexes. Also, possible relationship of the multiple peptide mass fingerprints, such as ontology relation, can be discovered by our system, especially in the identification of protein complexes. The agent-based system is now available on the Web at http://dbms104.csie.ncu.edu.tw/ approximately protein/NEW2/. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and its application to peptide analyses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been successfully interfaced on-line with liquid secondary-ion time-of-flight mass spectrometry, utilizing a continuous-flow interface. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) is a low-resolution, high-mass-range technique, compatible with extremely rapid data acquisition rates. Thus a TOF-MS system is extremely well suited for coupling with HPLC. This paper describes the interface used to couple the HPLC and TOF-MS as well as the basic operating principles of such a system. Using both standard and packed-capillary reversed-phase HPLC columns, the HPLC-TOF-MS system has been successfully used to separate and detect peptides, providing molecular weight information for the peptide analytes. Experimental data, including chromatograms (UV, reconstructed ion and selected ion) and mass spectra, are presented to demonstrate the ability of the HPLC-liquid secondary-ion TOF-MS system to resolve chromatographically analytes as well as to resolve mass spectrometrically analytes which are unresolved on the chromatographic column. 相似文献

Proteins extracted from green and etiolated shoots of rice were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and relative molecular weights and isoelectric points were determined. The separated proteins were electroblotted onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane and 85 proteins were analyzed by a gas-phase protein sequencer. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of 21 out of 85 proteins were determined in this manner. N-terminal regions of the remaining proteins could not be sequenced. The internal amino acid sequences of proteins were determined by sequence analysis of peptides obtained by the Cleveland peptide mapping method and compared with those of known plant and animal protein sequences to understand the nature of the proteins. Green shoots revealed the presence of photosynthetic proteins as expected; however, as etiolated shoots were not photosynthetic, only precursors of the photosynthetic proteins were identified. Interestingly, the presence of L-ascorbate peroxidase only in etiolated shoots suggests a cellular protectant function for this antioxidant enzyme in the etiolating shoots. Using this experimental approach, we could identify the major proteins involved in growth regulation in photosynthetic green shoots as well as in etiolating rice seedlings. 相似文献

A recently developed proteomic strategy, the “GG‐azide”‐labeling approach, is described for the detection and proteomic analysis of geranylgeranylated proteins. This approach involves metabolic incorporation of a synthetic azido‐geranylgeranyl analog and chemoselective derivatization of azido‐geranylgeranyl‐modified proteins by the “click” chemistry, using a tetramethylrhodamine‐alkyne. The resulting conjugated proteins can be separated by 1‐D or 2‐D and pH fractionation, and detected by fluorescence imaging. This method is compatible with downstream LC‐MS/MS analysis. Proteomic analysis of conjugated proteins by this approach identified several known geranylgeranylated proteins as well as Rap2c, a novel member of the Ras family. Furthermore, prenylation of progerin in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells was examined using this approach, demonstrating that this strategy can be used to study prenylation of specific proteins. The “GG‐azide”‐labeling approach provides a new tool for the detection and proteomic analysis of geranylgeranylated proteins, and it can readily be extended to other post‐translational modifications. 相似文献

Mass spectrometric identification of proteins and characterization of their post-translational modifications in proteome analysis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
High-throughput DNA sequencing has resulted in increasing input in protein sequence databases. Today more than 20 genomes have been sequenced and many more will be completed in the near future, including the largest of them all, the human genome. Presently, sequence databases contain entries for more than 425.000 protein sequences. However, the cellular functions are determined by the set of proteins expressed in the cell--the proteome. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics have become important tools in correlating the proteome with the genome. The current dominant strategies for identification of proteins from gels based on peptide mass spectrometric fingerprinting and partial sequencing by mass spectrometry are described. After identification of the proteins the next challenge in proteome analysis is characterization of their post-translational modifications. The general problems associated with characterization of these directly from gel separated proteins are described and the current state of art for the determination of phosphorylation, glycosylation and proteolytic processing is illustrated. 相似文献

A fast new approach to pharmacophore mapping and its application to dopaminergic and benzodiazepine agonists 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary In the absence of a 3D structure of the target biomolecule, to propose the 3D requirements for a small molecule to exhibit a particular bioactivity, one must supply both a bioactive conformation and a superposition rule for every active compound. Our strategy identifies both simultaneously. We first generate and optimize all low-energy conformations by any suitable method. For each conformation we then use ALAD-DIN to calculate the location of points to be considered as part of the superposition. These points include atoms in the molecule and projections from the molecule to hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors or charged groups in the binding site. These positions and the relative energy of each conformation are the input to our new program DISCO. It uses a clique-detection method to find superpositions that contain a least one conformation of each molecule and user-specified numbers of point types and chirality. DISCO is fast; for example, it takes about 1 min CPU to propose pharmacophores from 21 conformations of seven molecules. We typically run DISCO several times to compare alternative pharmacophore maps. For D2 dopamine agonists DISCO shows that the newer 2-aminothiazoles fit the traditional pharmacophore. Using site points correctly identifies the bioactive enantiomers of indoles to compare with catechols whereas using only ligand points leads to selecting the inactive enantiomer for the pharmacophore map. In addition, DISCO reproduces pharmacophore maps of benzodiazepines in the literature and proposes subtle improvements. Our experience suggests that clique-detection methods will find many applications in computational chemistry and computer-assisted molecular design. 相似文献

[structure: see text] An efficient solid-phase synthesis of trifunctional probes containing a photoreactive group, a reporter tag, and a carbohydrate ligand was developed. Labeling studies with these probes demonstrate that specific lectins can be labeled with high sensitivity and selectivity.

PEGylated core-shell type resin (PEG-AM SURE) was developed by modifying the surface of AM SURE™ resin with diamino PEG. The conditions for the PEG coupling reaction were optimized by adjusting PEG chain cross-linking and the amount of free amino groups to ensure a enough loading level of functional groups on the resin (>0.30-0.39 mmol NH2/g). The resulting PEG-AM SURE resin showed better performance than conventional resins during solid-phase peptide synthesis of JR10-mer and β2m58-69 12-mer. 相似文献

蛋白质组学研究在生物学、精准医学等方面发挥着重要的作用。然而研究面临的巨大挑战来自生物样品的复杂性,因此在质谱(MS)鉴定技术不断革新的同时,发展分离技术以降低样品复杂度尤为重要。毛细管电泳(CE)技术具有上样体积小、分离效率高、分离速度快等优势,其与质谱的联用在蛋白质组学研究中越来越受到关注。低流速鞘流液和无鞘流液接口的发展及商品化推动了CE-MS技术的发展。目前毛细管区带电泳(CZE)、毛细管等电聚焦(CIEF)、毛细管电色谱(CEC)等分离模式已与质谱联用,其中CZE-MS应用最广泛。目前被广泛采用的蛋白质组学研究策略主要是基于酶解肽段分离鉴定的"自下而上(bottom-up)"策略。首先,CE-MS技术对酶解肽段的检测灵敏度高达1 zmol,已成功应用于单细胞蛋白质组学;其次,毛细管电泳技术与反相液相色谱互补,为疏水性质相近的肽段(尤其是翻译后修饰肽段)的分离鉴定提供了新的途径。基于整体蛋白质分离鉴定的自上而下"top-down"策略可以直接获得更精准、更完整的蛋白质信息。CE技术在蛋白质大分子的分离方面具有分离效率高、回收率高的优势,其与质谱的联用提高了整体蛋白质的鉴定灵敏度和覆盖度。非变性质谱(native MS)是一种在近生理条件下从完整蛋白质复合物水平上进行分析的质谱技术。CE与非变性质谱联用已被尝试用于蛋白质复合体的分离鉴定。该文引用了与CE-MS和蛋白质组学应用相关的93篇文献,综述了以上介绍的CE-MS的研究进展以及在蛋白质组学分析中的应用优势,并总结和展望了其应用前景。 相似文献

A hydrophilic basic polysaccharide, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) as a capillary coating is presented with a simple preparation procedure. The CMC-coated capillary showed a long lifetime of more than 100 runs, and had good tolerance to some organic solvents, 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH, and 5 M urea. The run-to-run, day-to-day, and capillary-to-capillary RSDs for the CMC-coated capillary were all below 2.0% for the determination of EOF. Moreover, the coatings with different concentrations and molecular weights of CMC were also investigated. The CMC-coated capillary was successfully applied to separate basic proteins and recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO). Furthermore, several experimental parameters, such as the concentration and pH of the running buffer, temperature, and applied voltage, were optimized for the separation of rhEPO glycoforms. Comparison of an uncoated capillary with chitosan- and CMC-coated capillaries for the separation of rhEPO glycoforms was also discussed. The results demonstrated that rhEPO glycoforms can be well separated by a CMC-coated capillary within 8 min with good reproducibility and resolution. Finally, the volatile BGE HAc-NH4Ac was utilized to separate rhEPO for its further application with CE-MS, achieving a satisfactory result. 相似文献
