LC-MS/MS analysis on a linear ion trap LTQ mass spectrometer, combined with data processing, stringent, and sequence-similarity database searching tools, was employed in a layered manner to identify proteins in organisms with unsequenced genomes. Highly specific stringent searches (MASCOT) were applied as a first layer screen to identify either known (i.e. present in a database) proteins, or unknown proteins sharing identical peptides with related database sequences. Once the confidently matched spectra were removed, the remainder was filtered against a nonannotated library of background spectra that cleaned up the dataset from spectra of common protein and chemical contaminants. The rectified spectral dataset was further subjected to rapid batch de novo interpretation by PepNovo software, followed by the MS BLAST sequence-similarity search that used multiple redundant and partially accurate candidate peptide sequences. Importantly, a single dataset was acquired at the uncompromised sensitivity with no need of manual selection of MS/MS spectra for subsequent de novo interpretation. This approach enabled a completely automated identification of novel proteins that were, otherwise, missed by conventional database searches. 相似文献

Advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have encouraged interest in its deployment in urine biomarker studies, but success has been limited. Urine exosomes have been proposed as an ideal source of biomarkers for renal disease. However, the abundant urinary protein, uromodulin, cofractionates with exosomes during isolation and represents a practical contaminant that limits MS sensitivity. Uromodulin depletion has been attempted but is labor- and time-intensive and may remove important protein biomarkers. We describe the application of an exclusion list (ExL) of uromodulin-related peptide ions, coupled with high-sensitivity mass spectrometric analysis, to increase the depth of coverage of the urinary exosomal proteome. Urine exosomal protein samples from healthy volunteers were subjected to tandem MS and abundant uromodulin peptides identified. Samples were run for a second time, while excluding these uromodulin peptides from fragmentation to allow identification of peptides from lower-abundance proteins. Uromodulin exclusion was performed in addition to dynamic exclusion. Results from these two procedures revealed 222 distinct proteins from conventional analysis, compared with 254 proteins after uromodulin exclusion, of which 188 were common to both methods. By unmasking a previously unidentified protein set, adding the ExL increased overall protein identifications by 29.7% to a total of 288 proteins. A fixed ExL, used in combination with conventional methods, effectively increases the depth of urinary exosomal proteins identified by MS, reducing the need for uromodulin depletion. 相似文献

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen causing life-threatening invasive diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis and bacteraemia. Despite major advances in our understanding of pneumococcal mechanisms of pathogenicity obtained through genomic studies very little has been achieved on the characterisation of the proteome of this pathogen. The highly complex structure of its cell envelope particularly amongst the various capsular forms enables the cell to resist lysis by conventional mechanical methods. It is therefore highly desirable to develop a cellular lysis and protein solubilisation procedure that minimises protein losses and allows for maximum possible coverage of the proteome of S. pneumoniae. Here we have utilised various combinations of mechanical or enzymatic cell lysis with two protein solubilisation mixtures urea/CHAPS-based mixture or SDS/DTT-based mixture in order to achieve best quality protein profiles using two proteomic technologies surface-enhanced laser desorption ionisation (SELDI) TOF MS and 2-DE. While urea/CHAPS-based mixture combined with freeze/thawing provided enough material for good-quality SELDI TOF MS fingerprints, a combination of mechanical, enzymatic and chemical lysis was needed to be used to successfully extract the desired protein content for 2-DE analysis. The methods chosen were also assessed for reproducibility and tested on various capsular types of S. pneumoniae. As a result, good-quality and reproducible profiles were created using various ProteinChip arrays and more than 800 protein spots were separated on a single 2-D gel of S. pneumoniae. Twenty-five of the most abundant protein spots were identified using LC/MS/MS to create a reference map of S. pneumoniae. The proteins identified included glycolytic enzymes such as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase etc. Several fermentation enzymes were also present including two of the components of the arginine deiminase system. Proteins involved in protein synthesis, such as translation factors and ribosomal proteins, as well as several chaperone proteins were also identified. 相似文献

Analysis of the human serum proteome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Changes in serum proteins that signal histopathological states, such as cancer, are useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
Unfortunately, the large dynamic concentration range of proteins in serum makes it a challenging proteome to effectively characterize.
Typically, methods to deplete highly abundant proteins to decrease this dynamic protein concentration range are employed,
yet such depletion results in removal of important low abundant proteins.
A multi-dimensional peptide separation strategy utilizing conventional separation techniques combined with tandem mass spectrometry
(MS/MS) was employed for a proteome analysis of human serum. Serum proteins were digested with trypsin and resolved into 20
fractions by ampholyte-free liquid phase isoelectric focusing. These 20 peptide fractions were further fractionated by strong
cation-exchange chromatography, each of which was analyzed by microcapillary reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled
online with MS/MS analysis.
This investigation resulted in the identification of 1444 unique proteins in serum. Proteins from all functional classes,
cellular localization, and abundance levels were identified.
This study illustrates that a majority of lower abundance proteins identified in serum are present as secreted or shed species
by cells as a result of signalling, necrosis, apoptosis, and hemolysis. These findings show that the protein content of serum
is quite reflective of the overall profile of the human organism and a conventional multidimensional fractionation strategy
combined with MS/MS is entirely capable of characterizing a significant fraction of the serum proteome. We have constructed
a publicly available human serum proteomic database (http://bpp.nci.nih.gov) to provide a reference resource to facilitate
future investigations of the vast archive of pathophysiological content in serum.

Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) is an accurate quantitative technique, typically used for small-molecule mass spectrometry (MS). SRM has emerged as an important technique for targeted and hypothesis-driven proteomic research, and is becoming the reference method for protein quantification in complex biological samples. SRM offers high selectivity, a lower limit of detection and improved reproducibility, compared to conventional shot-gun-based tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) methods. Unlike LC-MS/MS, which requires computationally intensive informatic postanalysis, SRM requires preacquisition bioinformatic analysis to determine proteotypic peptides and optimal transitions to uniquely identify and to accurately quantitate proteins of interest. Extensive arrays of bioinformatics software tools, both web-based and stand-alone, have been published to assist researchers to determine optimal peptides and transition sets. The transitions are oftentimes selected based on preferred precursor charge state, peptide molecular weight, hydrophobicity, fragmentation pattern at a given collision energy (CE), and instrumentation chosen. Validation of the selected transitions for each peptide is critical since peptide performance varies depending on the mass spectrometer used. In this review, we provide an overview of open source and commercial bioinformatic tools for analyzing LC-MS data acquired by SRM. 相似文献

Protein identifications with the borderline statistical confidence are typically produced by matching a few marginal quality MS/MS spectra to database peptide sequences and represent a significant bottleneck in the reliable and reproducible characterization of proteomes. Here, we present a method for rapid validation of borderline hits that circumvents the need in, often biased, manual inspection of raw MS/MS spectra. The approach takes advantage of the independent interpretation of corresponding MS/MS spectra by PepNovo de novo sequencing software followed by mass spectrometry-driven BLAST (MS BLAST) sequence-similarity database searches that utilize all partially inaccurate, degenerate and redundant candidate peptide sequences. In a case study involving the identification of more than 180 Caenorhabditis elegans proteins by nanoLC-MS/MS analysis on a linear ion trap LTQ mass spectrometer, the approach enabled rapid assignment (confirmation or rejection) of more than 70% of Mascot hits of borderline statistical confidence. 相似文献

Global mass spectrometry (MS) profiling and spectral count quantitation are used to identify unique or differentially expressed proteins and can help identify potential biomarkers. MS has rarely been conducted in retrospective studies, because historically, available samples for protein analyses were limited to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archived tissue specimens. Reliable methods for obtaining proteomic profiles from FFPE samples are needed. Proteomic analysis of these samples has been confounded by formalin-induced protein cross-linking. The performance of extracted proteins in a liquid chromatography tandem MS format from FFPE samples and extracts from whole and laser capture microdissected (LCM) FFPE and frozen/optimal cutting temperature (OCT)–embedded matched control rat liver samples were compared. Extracts from FFPE and frozen/OCT–embedded livers from atorvastatin-treated rats were further compared to assess the performance of FFPE samples in identifying atorvastatin-regulated proteins. Comparable molecular mass representation was found in extracts from FFPE and OCT-frozen tissue sections, whereas protein yields were slightly less for the FFPE sample. The numbers of shared proteins identified indicated that robust proteomic representation from FFPE tissue and LCM did not negatively affect the number of identified proteins from either OCT-frozen or FFPE samples. Subcellular representation in FFPE samples was similar to OCT-frozen, with predominantly cytoplasmic proteins identified. Biologically relevant protein changes were detected in atorvastatin-treated FFPE liver samples, and selected atorvastatin-related proteins identified by MS were confirmed by Western blot analysis. These findings demonstrate that formalin fixation, paraffin processing, and LCM do not negatively impact protein quality and quantity as determined by MS and that FFPE samples are amenable to global proteomic analysis.

Two homologous 29 amino acid-long highly hydrophobic membrane miniproteins were identified in the Bligh–Dyer lipid extracts of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The amino acid sequences of the proteins were determined by collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry, in conjunction with a translating BLAST (tBLASTn) search, i.e., comparing the MS/MS-determined protein query sequence against the six-frame translations of the nucleotide sequences of the E. coli and S. typhimurium genomes. Further MS characterization revealed that both proteins retain the N-terminal initiating formyl-methionines. The methodologies described here may be amendable for detecting and characterizing small hydrophobic proteins in other organisms that are difficult to annotate or analyze by conventional methods. 相似文献

Abstract We compared the 2DE coupled to MALDI‐TOF‐MS and ESI‐MS/MS analysis (2DE‐MS) and the on‐line 2D nanoLC, followed by nanoESI‐MS/MS analysis (2DLC‐MS), for the separation and identification of proteins in high abundance protein‐depleted human plasma. Identification of proteins in the plasma by the two methods demonstrated that the majority of the identified protein set was unique to each method. Therefore, if a comprehensive coverage of the proteome identification is desired, it is ideal to apply both methods. The 2DE‐MS method is amenable to protein spot‐based quantitation, whereas the 2DLC‐MS method may provide an advantage of the high throughput application. 相似文献

Salinity is a major limiting factor for the proliferation of plants and inhibits central metabolic activities such as photosynthesis. The halotolerant green alga Dunaliella can adapt to hypersaline environments and is considered a model photosynthetic organism for salinity tolerance. To clarify the molecular basis for salinity tolerance, a proteomic approach has been applied for identification of salt-induced proteins in Dunaliella. Seventy-six salt-induced proteins were selected from two-dimensional gel separations of different subcellular fractions and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Application of nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry, combined with sequence-similarity database-searching algorithms, MS BLAST and MultiTag, enabled identification of 80% of the salt-induced proteins. Salinity stress up-regulated key enzymes in the Calvin cycle, starch mobilization, and redox energy production; regulatory factors in protein biosynthesis and degradation; and a homolog of a bacterial Na(+)-redox transporters. The results indicate that Dunaliella responds to high salinity by enhancement of photosynthetic CO(2) assimilation and by diversion of carbon and energy resources for synthesis of glycerol, the osmotic element in Dunaliella. The ability of Dunaliella to enhance photosynthetic activity at high salinity is remarkable because, in most plants and cyanobacteria, salt stress inhibits photosynthesis. The results demonstrated the power of MS BLAST searches for the identification of proteins in organisms whose genomes are not known and paved the way for dissecting molecular mechanisms of salinity tolerance in algae and higher plants. 相似文献

Post-translational modifications of proteins from the human pituitary gland play an important role in the regulation of different body functions. We report on the application of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) based approach to detect and characterize phosphorylated proteins in a whole human pituitary digest. By combining an immobilized metal affinity column-based enrichment method with MS/MS conditions that favor the neutral loss of phosphoric acid from a phosphorylated precursor ion, we identified several previously undescribed phosphorylated peptides. The identified peptides were matched to the sequences of six pituitary proteins: the human growth hormone, chromogranin A, secretogranin I, 60S ribosomal protein P1 and/or P2, DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 5, and galanin. The phosphorylation sites of these important regulatory proteins were determined by MS/MS and MS(3) analysis. 相似文献

Only a small fraction of spectra acquired in LC-MS/MS runs matches peptides from target proteins upon database searches. The remaining, operationally termed background, spectra originate from a variety of poorly controlled sources and affect the throughput and confidence of database searches. Here, we report an algorithm and its software implementation that rapidly removes background spectra, regardless of their precise origin. The method estimates the dissimilarity distance between screened MS/MS spectra and unannotated spectra from a partially redundant background library compiled from several control and blank runs. Filtering MS/MS queries enhanced the protein identification capacity when searches lacked spectrum to sequence matching specificity. In sequence-similarity searches it reduced by, on average, 30-fold the number of orphan hits, which were not explicitly related to background protein contaminants and required manual validation. Removing high quality background MS/MS spectra, while preserving in the data set the genuine spectra from target proteins, decreased the false positive rate of stringent database searches and improved the identification of low-abundance proteins. 相似文献

A combination of new mass spectrometric methods that can be used to determine the primary structures of proteins, including post-translational modifications, with unprecedented speed and accuracy is described. Structural characterization of alpha-crystallins from bovine lenses has been used to illustrate the methods. The molecular weights of alpha-crystallins fractionated, but not to homogeneity, by reversed-phase HPLC were determined with an uncertainty of 0.01% which is at least 100 times more accurate than is possible using conventional methods. This information was used to identify the primary gene product as well as its phosphorylated and truncated forms. Molecular weight maps of proteolytic digests of these proteins were determined by directly coupled capillary HPLC fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry. From these maps, the entire amino acid sequence was confirmed, and the phosphorylated peptide was identified. The MS/MS daughter ion mass spectrum of the phosphorylated peptide provided sufficient information to determine which residue was phosphorylated. Because protein structure, including post-translational modifications, is determined on the basis of molecular weight, this method has broad application and will be useful for a variety of diverse and challenging problems in protein structure elucidation. 相似文献

Exploring the proteome of Plasmodium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
With the entire genomic sequence of several species of Plasmodium soon to be available, researchers are now focusing on methods to study gene and protein expression at the whole organism level. Traditional methods of characterising and identifying large numbers of proteins from a complex protein mixture have relied predominantly on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with N-terminal sequencing or mass spectrometry of individually prepared proteins. New proteomics methods are now available that are based on resolving small peptides derived from complex protein mixtures by high-resolution liquid chromatography and directly identifying them by tandem mass spectrometry (LC/LC/MS/MS) and sophisticated computer search algorithms against whole genome sequence databases. These newer proteomic methods have the potential to accelerate the reproducible identification of large numbers of proteins from various life cycle stages of Plasmodium and may help to better understand parasite biology and lead to the identification of new targets of vaccines and drugs. 相似文献

The resolving power of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) combined with isoelectric focusing in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has made it one of the most important techniques for resolving complex mixtures, and it is of great importance for proteome mapping projects. As a result of this, methods for postelectrophoretic protein characterization are of great interest as exemplified by in situ protease digestion combined with mass spectrometry (MS), which is the method of choice for identification of proteins. In this study we have developed and compared methods for recovering intact proteins from polyacrylamide gels and electroblotting membranes to define efficient methods compatible with MS. These methods complement in situ digestion protocols and allow determination of the molecular mass of whole proteins separated by SDS-PAGE. Passive elution of proteins from SDS-PAGE gels was efficient only in the presence of SDS, whereas electroelution was achieved using buffers without SDS. Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization MS (SELDI-MS) analysis of proteins eluted in the presence of SDS was possible using ion exchange ProteinChip arrays for concentration of sample and removal of SDS. Comparison of different electroblotting methods verified that the different membranes and buffers were equally efficient for transfer of proteins in the range 20-100 kDa. Elution from polyvinyldifluoride membranes was most efficient using either concentrated solutions of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or combinations of 8M urea and 1% Triton X-100, 1% Tween 20, or 40% isopropanol. The same result was obtained using nitrocellulose membranes, except that these were incompatible with organic solvent and TFA. Elution by TFA was compatible with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS (MALDI-MS) but was complicated by a high degree of trifluoroacetylation of the proteins. Alternatively, elution by 8M urea+1% Triton X-100, 1% Tween 20, or 40% isopropanol was compatible with both SELDI-MS and MALDI-MS. Eluted proteins were identified in MS experiments by intact mass determination, by peptide mapping, and by MS/MS analysis. 相似文献

ADAR1 is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) editing enzyme that specifically converts adenosine to inosine. ADAR1 is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes and participate in various cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation and immune responses. We report here a new proteomics study of HEK293T cells with and without ADAR1 overexpression. The up- and down-regulated proteins by ADAR1 overexpression are identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) followed by label-free protein quantification. Totally 1,495 proteins (FDR < 0.01) are identified, among which 211 are up- and 159 are down-regulated for at least 1.5-fold (n = 3, p < 0.05). Gene ontology analysis reveals that these ADAR1-regulated proteins are involved in protein translation and cell cycle regulation. Bioinformatics analysis identifies a closely related network consistent for the protein translation machinery and a tightly connected network through proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-interactions. Up-regulation of the proteins in the PCNA-mediated cell proliferation network is confirmed by Western blotting. In addition, ADAR1 overexpression is confirmed to increase cell proliferation in HEK293T cells and A549 cells. We conclude that ADAR1 overexpression modulates the protein translation and cell cycle networks through PCNA-mediated protein-protein interaction to promote cell proliferation in HEK293 cells. 相似文献
