Protein Kinase Balpha(PKBalpha, or Akt1) is believed to play a crucial role in programmed cell death, cancer progression and the insulin-signaling cascade. The protein is activated by phosphorylation at multiple sites and subsequently phosphorylates and activates eNOS. Free cysteine residues of the protein may capture reactive, endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) as S-nitrosothiols. Site-specific detection of S-nitrosylated cysteine residues, usually at low stoichiometry, has been a major challenge in proteomic research largely due to the lack of mass marker for S-nitrosothiols that are very labile under physiologic conditions. In this report we describe a sensitive and specific MS method for detection of S-nitrosothiols in PKB alpha/Akt1 in rat soleus muscle. PKB alpha/Akt1 was isolated by immunoprecipitation and 2D-gel electrophoresis, subjected to in-gel tryptic digestion, and cysteinyl nitrosothiols were reacted with iodoacetic acids [2-C(12)/C(13) = 50/50] under ascorbate reduction conditions. This resulted in the production of relatively stable carboxymethylcysteine (CMC) immonium ions (m/z 134.019 and m/z 135.019) within a narrow argon collision energy (CE = 30 +/- 5 V) in the high MS noise region. In addition, free and disulfide-linked cysteine residues were converted to carboxyamidomethylcysteines (CAM). Tryptic S-nitrosylated parent ion was detected with a mass accuracy of 50 mDa for the two CMC immonium ions at the triggered elution time during capillary liquid chromatography (LC) separation. A peptide containing Cys(296) was discriminated from four co-eluting tryptic peptides under lock mass conditions (m/z 785.8426). S-nitrosothiol in the tryptic peptide, ITDFGLBKEGIK (B: CAM, [M + 2H](2+) = 690.86, Found: 690.83), is believed to be present at a very low level, since the threshold for the CMC immonium trigger ions was set at 3 counts/s in the MS survey. The high levels of NO that are produced under stress conditions may result in increased S-nitrosylation of Cys(296) which blocks disulfide bond formation between Cys(296) and Cys(310) and suppresses the biological effects of PKB alpha/Akt1. With the procedures developed here, this process can be studied under physiological and pathological conditions. 相似文献

The kinetics of oxidation of amino acids (Arg, His, Lys, Phe, Thr and Tyr), a dipeptide (Gly-His), and BSA (bovine serum albumin) by two persistent water soluble free radicals of the hydrazyl type has been studied.The rate decreases in the order Arg>Lys>Tyr>Thr>HisBSAPheGly-His with bothfree radicals. Addition to the reaction mixture of - and -cyclodextrin decreases the oxidation rate, probably due to amino acidencapsulation in the cyclodextrin cavity. -Cyclodextrin protects more efficiently against oxidation than -cyclodextrin. 相似文献

We have used a variety of microscopic techniques to reveal the structure and motion of flux line arrangements, when the flux
lines in low T
c type II superconductors are caused to move by a transport current. Using small-angle neutron scattering by the flux line
lattice (FLL), we are able to demonstrate directly the alignment by motion of the nearest-neighbor FLL direction. This tends
to be parallel to the direction of flux line motion, as had been suspected from two-dimensional simulations. We also see the
destruction of the ordered FLL by plastic flow and the bending of flux lines. Another technique that our collaboration has
employed is the direct measurement of flux line motion, using the ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy of the neutron spin-echo
technique to observe the energy change of neutrons diffracted by moving flux lines. The muon spin rotation (μSR) technique gives the distribution of values of magnetic field within the FLL. We have recently succeeded in performing
μSR measurements while the FLL is moving. Such measurements give complementary information about the local speed and orientation
of the FLL motion. We conclude by discussing the possible application of this technique to thin film superconductors. 相似文献

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is currently one of the most sensitive methods available for the trace detection of DNA adducts and is particularly valuable for measuring adducts in humans or animal models. However, the standard approach requires administration of a radiolabeled compound. As an alternative, we have developed a preliminary 14C-postlabeling assay for detection of the highly mutagenic O6-methyldeoxyguanosine (O6-MedG), by AMS. Procedures were developed for derivatising O6-MedG using unlabeled acetic anhydride. Using conventional liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis, the limit of detection (LOD) for the major product, triacetylated O6-MedG, was 10 fmol. On reaction of O6-MedG with 14C-acetic anhydride, using a specially designed enclosed system, the predominant product was 14C-di-acetyl O6-MedG. This change in reaction profile was due to a modification of the reaction procedure, introduced as a necessary safety precaution. The LOD for 14C-di-acetyl O6-MedG by AMS was determined as 79 amol, approximately 18,000-fold lower than that achievable by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). Although the assay has so far only been carried out with labeled standards, the degree of sensitivity obtained illustrates the potential of this assay for measuring O6-MedG levels in humans. 相似文献

Phenotypically pure subpopulations of lymphocytes can provide valuable insights into the immune response to injury and disease. The isolation of these subpopulations presents unique challenges, particularly when preprocessing incubation to attach fluorescent or antibody tags is to be minimized. This paper examines the separation of T and B lymphocytes from mixtures using microfluidic chambers coated with antibodies, focusing on flow conditions and surface chemistry. The adhesion of both cell types decreases as shear stress increases irrespective of the surface chemistry. The incorporation of poly(ethylene glycol) chains along with the antibodies on the chamber surface is shown to significantly improve the reproducibility of cell adhesion and is thus an important part of the overall system design. Furthermore, this technique is shown to be an effective way of isolating highly pure subpopulations of lymphocytes from model mixtures, even when the target cell concentration is low. 相似文献

This paper describes the investigation of the potential of a quadrupole orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Q-TOF) equipped with an atmospheric pressure ionisation interface for quantitative measurements of small molecules separated by reversed phase liquid chromatography. To this end, the detection limits and linear dynamic range in particular were studied in an LC/MS/MS experiment using 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine standards and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine for internal standardisation. In a second phase, the experiment was repeated with real biological extracts (whole blood, serum, and vitreous humour). A calibration for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine and its metabolite 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine was prepared in each of these matrices again using 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine as internal standard. The resulting quantitative data were compared with those obtained by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection for the same extracts. The Q-TOF results revealed excellent sensitivity and a linear dynamic range of nearly four decades (2-10 000 pg on-column, r(2) = 0.9998, 1/x weighting). Furthermore, all the calibration curves prepared in biological material were superimposable, LC/MS/MS and LC-fluorescence, and the quantitative results for actual samples compared very favourably. It was concluded that the Q-TOF achieves a linear dynamic range for quantitative LC/MS/MS work exceeding that of fluorescence detection and at much better absolute sensitivity.
