Fragmentations of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected tri-peptide ethyl esters containing proline at the P2 site were compared with those of the corresponding peptide derivatives containing no proline in field desorption mass spectrometry. The fragment ion [M-107]+ due to a loss of the benzyloxy group from a molecular ion was observed in the field desorption mass spectra for the peptides containing no proline, while it was not found in the peptides containing proline at all. These results suggest that the conformational difference of the peptide derivatives attributable to the existence of proline has an effect upon fragmentations in the field desorption ionizing process. 相似文献

The dramatic progress in mass spectrometry-based methods of protein identification has triggered a new quest for disease-associated biomarkers. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and its variant surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, provide effective means to explore the less studied information slice of the human serum proteome -- low-molecular-weight proteins and peptides. These low-molecular-weight proteins and peptides are promising for the detection of important biomarkers. Due to the significant experimental problems imposed by high-abundance and high-molecular-weight proteins, it is important to effectively remove these species prior to mass spectrometry analysis of the low-molecular-weight serum and plasma proteomes. In this review, the advantages afforded by recently introduced methods for prefractionation of serum, as they pertain to the detection and identification of biomarkers, will be discussed. 相似文献

Direct matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis of human serum yielded ion signals from only a fraction of the total number of peptides and proteins expected to be in the sample. We increased the number of peptide and protein ion signals observed in the MALDI-TOF mass spectra analysis of human serum by using a prefractionation protocol based on liquid phase isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. This pre-fractionation technique facilitated the MALDI-TOF MS detection of as many as 262 different peptide and protein ion signals from human serum. The results obtained from three replicate fractionation experiments on the same serum sample indicated that 148 different peptide and protein ion signals were reproducibly detected using our isoelectric focusing and MALDI-TOF MS protocol. 相似文献

Nanoporous surfaces as harvesting agents for mass spectrometric analysis of peptides in human plasma
Gaspari M Ming-Cheng Cheng M Terracciano R Liu X Nijdam AJ Vaccari L di Fabrizio E Petricoin EF Liotta LA Cuda G Venuta S Ferrari M 《Journal of proteome research》2006,5(5):1261-1266
Silica-based nanoporous surfaces have been developed in order to capture low molecular weight peptides from human plasma. Harvested peptides were subjected to mass spectrometric analysis by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as a means of detecting and assessing the bound molecules. Peptide profiles consisting of about 70 peaks in the range 800-10,000 m/z were generated. The method could allow detection of small peptides at ng/mL concentration levels, either in standard solutions or in plasma. The same molecular cutoff effect was observed for mixtures of standard proteins and peptides incubated with silicon-based nanoporous surfaces. 相似文献

In this article we present preliminary results of the application of potassium cationized field desorption mass spectrometry as an additional technique for the elucidation of structure and evaluation of purity of oligopeptides such as C-terminal penta- and hexapeptide analogs of substance P. In the resultant mass spectra both a protonated and a cationized molecular ion, MH+ and MK+ respectively, were observed. The m/z values of the two peaks were in agreement with the calculated molecular weights. The ratio between the relative abundancies of these ions (MH+/MK+) was found to be characteristic of the particular peptide and thus useful in the assessment of their purity. Among the 13 peptides studied, only two gave pyrolytic fragmentation leading to a more complex spectra. 相似文献

A technique for the detection of biotransformation products of xenobiotics in crude urine extracts by field desorption mass spectrometric profile analysis is described. The method comprises determination of peak profiles of a series of blank and test samples using low resolution field desorption mass spectrometry, comparison of averaged peak profiles and noise reduction by means of Fisher and ratio weighting of peak intensities. Application of the technique to 3,5-dinitro-2-hydroxytoluene has resulted in the detection of two hitherto unknown metabolites in rat urine. By thin-layer co-chromatography, high resolution electron impact mass spectrometry and thin-layer chromatographic/field desorption mass spectrometric analysis they could be identified as 3,5-dinitro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol and 3,5-diacetamido-2-hydroxytoluene. 相似文献

Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP III) was purified from rat and human erythrocytes using an identical procedure. Electrophoretic analyses revealed the same molecular size and pI for both enzymes. The molecular mass of the human enzyme, measured by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS, was 82500+/-60 Da. Its tryptic peptide mass profile was determined using the same technique, and the amino acid sequence of two internal peptides was obtained by tandem MS and Edman degradation. A search of databases revealed a high similarity between the human erythrocyte and rat liver DPP III: 21 matches out of 34 detected peptides were found, covering 40% of the total sequence. Matched peptides included the peptide harboring the characteristic HELLGH sequence motif, and a stretch of 19 identical amino acids, containing Glu, a putative ligand of active site zinc. Both enzymes preferred Arg-Arg-2-naphthylamide, and were activated by micromolar Co2+, differing in their pH optima and kcat/Km. Zn2+ ions, sulfhydryl reagents, and aminopeptidase inhibitors, especially probestin, inhibited the rat DPP III more potently. The two enzymes showed the highest affinity for angiotensin III (Ki < 1 microM) and a preference for ahydrophobic residue at the P1' site. However, significant differences in the binding constants for several peptides indicated non-identity in the active site topography of human and rat erythrocyte DPP III. 相似文献

Salivary agglutinin, which binds Streptococcus mutans and Helicobacter pylori, is the lung scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein gp-340 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Prakobphol A Xu F Hoang VM Larsson T Bergstrom J Johansson I Frängsmyr L Holmskov U Leffler H Nilsson C Borén T Wright JR Strömberg N Fisher SJ 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2000,275(51):39860-39866
Salivary agglutinin is a high molecular mass component of human saliva that binds Streptococcus mutans, an oral bacterium implicated in dental caries. To study its protein sequence, we isolated the agglutinin from human parotid saliva. After trypsin digestion, a portion was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), which gave the molecular mass of 14 unique peptides. The remainder of the digest was subjected to high performance liquid chromatography, and the separated peptides were analyzed by MALDI-TOF/post-source decay; the spectra gave the sequences of five peptides. The molecular mass and peptide sequence information showed that salivary agglutinin peptides were identical to sequences in lung (lavage) gp-340, a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein family. Immunoblotting with antibodies that specifically recognized either lung gp-340 or the agglutinin confirmed that the salivary agglutinin was gp-340. Immunoblotting with an antibody specific to the sialyl Le(x) carbohydrate epitope detected expression on the salivary but not the lung glycoprotein, possible evidence of different glycoforms. The salivary agglutinin also interacted with Helicobacter pylori, implicated in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, Streptococcus agalactiae, implicated in neonatal meningitis, and several oral commensal streptococci. These results identify the salivary agglutinin as gp-340 and suggest it binds bacteria that are important determinants of either the oral ecology or systemic diseases. 相似文献

S-Aminoethylated-alpha A and -beta A globin tryptic peptides separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography have been analysed by plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Almost all the expected alpha A and beta A tryptic fragments were tentatively assigned relative to the known globin chain sequences based on the molecular weight obtained by plasma desorption mass spectrometric analysis of the purified peptides. The application of plasma desorption mass spectrometry for structure elucidation of a haemoglobin alpha-chain variant revealed the first case of Hb Hasharon in Hungary. 相似文献

Off-line coupling of capillary IEF (CIEF) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was utilized for the analysis of human blood serum. Serum proteins were initially separated by CIEF, and fractions of the isoelectric separation were eluted sequentially to a MALDI-TOF MS sample target. During pressure elution of the CIEF sample, voltage was maintained across the capillary system utilizing a sheath flow arrangement to minimize band broadening induced by the laminar flow field. Both pI and mass information were obtained from the complex biological sample, similar to traditional 2-DE techniques, and the platform was faster (hours versus days), more automatable, and simpler than 2-DE. The volume of raw sample present in the actual analysis was approximately 100 nL, making this technique well suited for very rare specimens. Additionally, the speed and simplicity of the technology make it an attractive technique for performing initial comparative analyses of complex samples. 相似文献

Electrospray ionization (ESI) has been an indispensable ion generation technique for mass spectrometric analysis of biopolymers such as intact proteins and protein digests operated at atmospheric pressure. Since its advent in 1998, atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (AP-MALDI) quickly became a popular alternative for the analysis of peptides. Although AP-MALDI sources typically share the same vacuum interface and ion transmission hardware with ESI, it is generally found that ESI is superior in detection sensitivity. Here we present a method based on solid phase extraction and elution with surface-functionalized diamond nanocrystals (which we previously referred to as "SPEED") that not only streamlines AP-MALDI mass spectrometric analyses of peptides and other small biomolecules under typical operational conditions but also outruns ESI in ultimate detectable concentration by at least one order of magnitude. 相似文献

The ability to obtain the accurate mass of a protein in a complex sample mixture aids in determining its correct in vivo form. This is important when identifying post-translationally modified proteins, protein variants or isoforms. The central technique used to separate proteins, 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis offers excellent separation capabilities but does not provide adequate mass accuracy. In this study, an alternative method, liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF)-MS (LC-MALDI) is described. LC-MALDI-MS was used to separate and determine the mass of proteins and peptides in a complex biological sample (i.e., human pituitary gland homogenate). Peptides and proteins were first separated by capillary chromatography and the eluent mixed post-column with sinapinic acid matrix. The flow was then deposited directly onto a standard MALDI target via a capillary nebulizer. In addition to offering high mass accuracy, this method can be applied to peptide and protein quantification. 相似文献

The main ionization methods in a mass spectrometer for isotope ratio determinations of the elements are discussed in this review. These methods are thermal ionization, spark source, electron impact, inductively coupled plasma and field desorption. As concerns thermal ionization, electron impact and field desorption, a survey of the possibilities of isotope analyses in the periodic table of the elements is given. Besides kinetic studies, trace element determination by isotope dilution technique is the main application for isotope ratio measurements of the elements. The definitive method, isotope dilution mass spectrometry, is discussed as a potential tool for achieving accurate and precise trace analyses. Using field desorption mass spectrometry, one example of calcium kinetics in man and one example of thallium trace determination in an animal tissue are given. Other metal trace analyses with the isotope dilution technique are presented for biological and medical samples using positive thermal ionization mass spectrometry. Negative thermal ions are formed for the mass spectrometric analysis of non-metals and non-metal compounds in food samples, e.g. for iodine and nitrate in milk powder. Preliminary results with the isotope dilution technique are presented for a new quadrupole thermal ionization mass spectrometer which is a low-cost instrument and can be easily handled. 相似文献

Mass spectrometric techniques for identification of proteins by "mass fingerprinting" (matching the masses of tryptic peptides from a protein digest to the theoretical peptides in a database) such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) are rapidly growing in popularity as the demand for high throughput analysis of the proteome increases. This is due, in part, to the ability to automate the technique and the rapid rate with which mass spectra may be acquired. An important factor in the accuracy of the technique is the number of tryptic peptides that are identified in the various searching algorithms that exist. The greater sequence coverage of the parent protein that is obtained, the higher the level of confidence in the identification that is determined. One impediment to high levels of sequence coverage is the bias of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to arginine-containing peptides. Increasing the sensitivity to lysine-containing peptides should increase the sequence coverage obtained. In order to achieve this result we have developed conditions to modify the epsilon-amine group of lysine in tryptic peptides with O-methylisourea. The conditions utilized result in the conversion of lysine to homoarginine with no modification of the amine terminus of the peptides. The sensitivity of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry detection of peptides was increased dramatically following modification. The modification chemistry may be applied to tryptic peptide mixtures prior to desalting and spotting onto MALDI-TOF plates. This technique will be particularly useful for identifying proteins with a high lysine/arginine ratio. 相似文献

Laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MS) is rapidly growing in popularity as an analytical characterization method in several fields. The technique shot to prominence using matrix-assisted desorption/ionization for large biomolecules (>700 Da), such as proteins, peptides and nucleic acids. However, because the matrix, which consists of small organic molecules, is also ionized, the technique is of limited use in the low-molecular-mass range (<700 Da). Recent advances in surface science have facilitated the development of matrix-free laser desorption/ionization MS approaches, which are referred to here as surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI) MS. In contrast to traditional matrix-assisted techniques, the materials used for SALDI-MS are not ionized, which expands the usefulness of this technique to small-molecule analyses. This review discusses the current status of SALDI-MS as a standard analytical technique, with an emphasis on potential applications in proteomics. 相似文献

A technique is described for identifying and locating posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in peptides and proteins of known sequence by interpretation of c(n) ion signals generated by in-source decay during delayed ion extraction in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Sites of phosphorylation in seven synthetic peptides were determined, as was the location of both the heme group and N,N,N-trimethyllysine in yeast cytochrome c. A semi-automated data analysis process facilitates the identification of segments of the sequence on each side of the PTM, permitting its placement at the junction of the segments and definition of the added mass. A graphical display facilitates illustration of both the location and mass of the PTM. 相似文献
