A novel universal neuropeptide display approach in the mass range of 300-5000 Da was developed to complement two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in the analysis of peptides and small proteins from brain tissue samples. For the analysis of neuropeptides we utilized on-line nanoscale capillary reversed phase liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. The method was employed for the analysis of a large number of peptides from three specific rat brain regions. Approximately 1500 peptides from each brain region were detected in the same analysis. Several of these peptides were sequenced using collision-induced dissociation and identified by database search tools. In addition, a method for comparing peptide elution profiles between samples was developed, to provide two- and three-dimensional computer graphics of the profiles and to pinpoint differences for statistical measurements. Among the characterized peptides were fragments from proteins such as hemoglobin, alpha-synuclein, stathmin, cyclophilin, actin, NADH dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase and prosomatostatin, as well as the bioactive neuropeptides W-hemorphin-4, and LW-hemorphin-7. The present study showed that the combination of nanoscale reversed phase liquid chromatography and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry provides a novel and powerful approach to investigate a large number of peptides and protein fragments in the brain. 相似文献

A two-dimensional liquid chromatography separation scheme coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (2-D LC-MS/MS) was utilized to profile the proteome of human CSF. Ventricular CSF samples acquired post-mortem from 10 cognitively normal elderly subjects (mean +/- SEM Braak stage = 1.7 +/- 0.2) were analyzed to determine their protein composition. Raw CSF samples were subjected to an immunobased processing method to remove highly abundant albumin and immunoglobulin (Ig), allowing better detection of lower-abundance proteins. Samples were subjected to trypsin proteolysis followed by C18 solid-phase extraction. Tryptic CSF peptides were separated using a 2-D LC column, in which both strong cation exchange (SCX) and C18 phases were packed into a single capillary. MS/MS spectra of CSF peptides were searched against a human sub-database of the NBCI nonredundant database using the SEQUEST algorithm. Search results were further filtered using DTAselect, and individual samples were compared to one another using Contrast. Using this method, we were able to unambiguously identify 249 CSF proteins from 10 subjects. Of these proteins, 38% were unique to individual subjects, whereas only 6% were common to all 10 subjects. These results suggest considerable subject-to-subject variability in the CSF proteome. 相似文献

Immobilized pH gradients isoelectric focusing (IPG-IEF) is the first dimension typically used in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). It can also be used on its own in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the analysis of proteins. Here, we described a strategy combining isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradient strips, and mass spectrometry to create a new high-throughput and sensitive detection method. Protein mixture is separated by in-gel IEF, then the entire strip is cut into a set of gel sections. Proteins in each gel section are digested with trypsin, and the resulted peptides are subjected to reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography followed by electrospray-linear ion-trap tandem mass analysis. Using this optimized strategy, we have identified 744 distinct human proteins from an IPG strip loaded only 300 microg of plasma proteins. When compared with other works in published literatures, this study offered a more convenient and sensitive method from gel to mass spectrometry for the separation and identification proteins of complex biological samples. 相似文献

Analysis of the adenovirus type 5 proteome by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry methods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We compared detection sensitivity and protein sequence coverage of the adenovirus type 5 proteome achievable by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS) using three sample preparation and clean up methods. Tryptic digestion was performed on either purified viral proteins or whole virus, and followed by shotgun sequencing using tandem mass spectrometry for peptide identification. We used a recombinant adenovirus type 5 as a test system. The methods included separation of adenoviral proteins by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography followed by tryptic digestion and analysis by LC/MS/MS. Alternatively, the purified whole virus was digested with trypsin and the peptides separated either by one-dimensional (reversed-phase) or by two-dimensional (cation exchange and reversed-phase) chromatography and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 11 protein species were identified from 154 peptides. All of the major viral proteins were found. In addition, two minor proteins, the 23 kDa viral protease and the late L1 protein, were identified for the first time by chromatography based assays. The 23 kDa viral protease, present at only 10 copies per virus, and representing 0.2% of the protein content of the virus, was detected by the 2D LC/MS/MS analysis of the whole virus digest from a sample containing only 70 fmols of the protein. This demonstrates the high sensitivity and selectivity of the method. The 2D LC/MS/MS analysis of the whole virus digest was also able to detect all viral proteins with copy numbers at or above 10/virus particle, with broad coverage of the amino acid sequences. Coverage ranged from 2 to 54%, a majority between 20 and 35%, suggesting the possibility of using this analysis to assess the purity of the virus preparations. This broad coverage may also provide a useful approach to identify posttranslational modifications on the structural proteins of the adenovirus. 相似文献

Human saliva contains a large number of proteins and peptides (salivary proteome) that help maintain homeostasis in the oral cavity. Global analysis of human salivary proteome is important for understanding oral health and disease pathogenesis. In this study, large-scale identification of salivary proteins was demonstrated by using shotgun proteomics and two-dimensinal gel electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (2-DE-MS). For the shotgun approach, whole saliva proteins were prefractionated according to molecular weight. The smallest fraction, presumably containing salivary peptides, was directly separated by capillary liquid chromatography (LC). However, the large protein fractions were digested into peptides for subsequent LC separation. Separated peptides were analyzed by on-line electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using a quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer, and the obtained spectra were automatically processed to search human protein sequence database for protein identification. Additionally, 2-DE was used to map out the proteins in whole saliva. Protein spots 105 in number were excised and in-gel digested; and the resulting peptide fragments were measured by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry and sequenced by LC-MS/MS for protein identification. In total, we cataloged 309 proteins from human whole saliva by using these two proteomic approaches. 相似文献

A prototype linear octopole ion trap/ion mobility/tandem mass spectrometer has been coupled with a nanoflow liquid chromatography separation approach and used to separate and characterize a complicated peptide mixture from digestion of soluble proteins extracted from human urine. In this approach, two dimensions of separation (nanoflow liquid chromatography and ion mobility) are followed by collision induced dissociation (CID) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. From a preliminary analysis of the most intense CID-MS features in a part of the dataset, it is possible to assign 27 peptide ions which correspond to 13 proteins. The data contain many additional CID-MS features for less intense ions. A limited discussion of these features and their potential utility in identifying complicated peptide mixtures required for proteomics study is presented. 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

In order to identify and compare the protein content of very low quantity samples of high complexity, a protocol has been established that combines the differential profiling strength of a new cleavable 13C isotope-coded affinity tag (cICAT) reagent with the high sequence coverage provided by multidimensional liquid chromatography and two modes of tandem mass spectrometry. Major objectives during protocol optimization were to minimize sample losses and establish a robust procedure that employs volatile buffer systems that are highly compatible with mass spectrometry. Cleavable ICAT-labeled tryptic peptides were separated from nonlabeled peptides by avidin affinity chromatography. Subsequently, peptide samples were analyzed by nanoflow liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The use of two ionization/instrumental configurations led to complementary peptide identifications that increased the confidence of protein assignments. Examples that illustrate the power of this strategy are taken from two different projects: i) immunoaffinity purified complexes containing the prion protein from the murine brain, and ii) human tracheal epithelium gland secretions. In these studies, a large number of novel proteins were identified using stringent match criteria, in addition to many that had been identified in previous experiments. In the latter case, the ICAT method produced significant new information on changes that occur in protein expression levels in a patient suffering from cystic fibrosis. 相似文献

A methodology for the rapid and quantitative analysis of phosphorylation sites in proteins is presented. The coupling of capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) allowed one to distinguish phosphorylation sites based on retention time and mass difference from complex peptide mixtures. The methodology was first evaluated and validated for a mixture of non-, mono-, and dityrosine-phosphorylated synthetic peptides, corresponding to the tryptic fragment 485–496 (ALGADDSYYTAR) of the human protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. The limits of detection for the non-, mono- and diphosphorylated peptides were about 15, 40 and 100 fmol, respectively, when using a 300 μm I.D. column. Application of the method was extended to identify phosphopeptides generated from a trypsin digest of recombinant autophosphorylated ZAP-70, in particular with respect to quantifying the status at the regulatory phosphorylation sites Tyr-492 and Tyr-493. Combination of chromatographic and on-line tandem mass spectrometry data allowed one to ascertain the identity of the detected peptides, a prerequisite to analyses in more complex biological samples. As an extension to the methodology described above, we evaluated the feasibility of interfacing capillary HPLC to matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), using a micromachined piezoelectric flow-through dispenser as the interface. This enabled direct arraying of chromatographically separated components onto a target plate that was precoated with matrix for subsequent analysis by MALDI-TOF-MS without further sample handling. 相似文献

A biphasic monolithic capillary column with 10 cm segment of strong-cation exchange monolith and 65 cm segment of reversed-phase monolith was prepared within a single 100 microm i.d. capillary. Separation performance of this column was evaluated by a five-cycle online multidimensional separation of 10 microg tryptic digest of yeast proteins using nanoflow liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, and it took 12 h for whole separation under the operating pressure only approximately 900 psi. Totally, 780 distinct proteins were positively identified through assignment of 2953 unique peptides at false-positive rate less than 1%. The good separation performance of this biphasic column was largely attributed to the good orthogonality of the strong-cation exchange monolith and reversed-phase monolith for multidimensional separation. 相似文献

与脑脊液和血液不同,尿液不受到稳态机制的调节,更倾向于积累和反应机体生理和病理状态下的变化。生物标志物的本质特征是变化,因此尿液是寻找疾病早期标志物的更好来源。在世界范围内,细菌性脑膜炎依然是引起新生儿和儿童疾病的主要原因。为了降低死亡率和致残率,需要用无创的方法寻找细菌性脑膜炎的相关线索。本研究中,使用大鼠脑室内注射大肠杆菌模型模拟细菌性脑膜炎,在第1天和第3天的大鼠尿液中寻找尿液蛋白谱的差异变化,为进一步寻找大肠杆菌性脑膜炎的早期生物标记物研究进行初步的探索。通过膜上酶切和胶内酶切将尿蛋白切成肽段并通过液相色谱串联质谱技术(LC-MS/MS)分析肽段信息。第1天的尿液通过胶内酶切方法鉴定到17个差异蛋白,通过膜上酶切鉴定到20个差异蛋白;第3天的尿液通过膜上酶切方法鉴定到5个差异蛋白。这些差异蛋白为寻找细菌性脑膜炎早期生物标志物的初步探索奠定了基础。 相似文献

Shedding (i.e. proteolysis of ectodomains of membrane proteins) plays an important pathophysiological role. In order to study the feasibility of identifying shed proteins, we analyzed serum-free media of human mammary epithelial cells by mass spectrometry following induction of shedding by the phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Different means of sample preparation, including biotinylation of cell surface proteins, isolation of glycosylated proteins, and preparation of crude protein fractions, were carried out to develop the optimal method of sample processing. The collected proteins were digested with trypsin and analyzed by reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography interfaced to an ion-trap mass spectrometer. The resulting peptide spectra were interpreted using the program SEQUEST. Analyzing the sample containing the crude protein mixture without chemical modification or separation resulted in the greatest number of identifications, including putatively shed proteins. Overall, 45 membrane-associated proteins were identified including 22 that contain at least one transmembrane domain and 23 that indirectly associate with the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. Of the 22 transmembrane proteins, 18 were identified by extracellular peptides providing strong evidence they originate from regulated proteolysis or shedding processes. We combined results from the different experiments and used a peptide count method to estimate changes in protein abundance. Using this approach, we identified two proteins, syndecan-4 and hepatoma-derived growth factor, whose abundances increased in media of cells treated with PMA. We also detected proteins whose abundances decreased after PMA treatment such as 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein and lactate dehydrogenase A. Further analysis using immunoblotting validated the abundance changes for syndecan-4 and 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein as a result of PMA treatment. These results demonstrate that tandem mass spectrometry can be used to identify shed proteins and to estimate changes in protein abundance. 相似文献

We report upon a novel procedure to specifically isolate cysteine-containing peptides from a complex peptide mixture. Cysteines are converted to hydrophobic residues by mixed disulfide formation with Ellman's reagent. Proteins are subsequently digested with trypsin and the generated peptide mixture is a first time fractionated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Cysteinyl-peptides are isolated out of each primary fraction by a reduction step followed by a secondary peptide separation on the same column, performed under identical conditions as for the primary separation. The reducing agent removes the covalently attached group from the cysteine side chain, making cysteine-peptides more hydrophilic and, thereby, such peptides can be specifically collected during the secondary separation and are finally used to identify their precursor proteins using automated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We show that this procedure efficiently isolates cysteine-peptides, making the sample mixture less complex for further analysis. This method was applied for the analysis of the proteomes of human platelets and enriched human plasma. In both proteomes, a significant number of low abundance proteins were identified next to extremely abundant ones. A dynamic range for protein identification spanning 4-5 orders of magnitude is demonstrated. 相似文献

The analysis by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry of complex peptide mixtures, generated by proteolysis of protein samples, is the main proteomics method used today. The approach is based on the assumption that each protein present in a sample reproducibly and predictably generates a relatively small number of peptides that can be identified by mass spectrometry. In this study this assumption was examined by a targeted peptide sequencing strategy using inclusion lists to trigger peptide fragmentation attempts. It was found that the number of peptides observed from a single protein is at least one order of magnitude greater than previously assumed. This unexpected complexity of proteomics samples implies substantial technical challenges, explains some perplexing results in the proteomics literature, and prompts the need for developing alternative experimental strategies for the rapid and comprehensive analysis of proteomes. 相似文献

Quantitative profiling of differentiation-induced microsomal proteins using isotope-coded affinity tags and mass spectrometry 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
An approach to the systematic identification and quantification of the proteins contained in the microsomal fraction of cells is described. It consists of three steps: (1) preparation of microsomal fractions from cells or tissues representing different states; (2) covalent tagging of the proteins with isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) reagents followed by proteolysis of the combined labeled protein samples; and (3) isolation, identification, and quantification of the tagged peptides by multidimensional chromatography, automated tandem mass spectrometry, and computational analysis of the obtained data. The method was used to identify and determine the ratios of abundance of each of 491 proteins contained in the microsomal fractions of na?ve and in vitro- differentiated human myeloid leukemia (HL-60) cells. The method and the new software tools to support it are well suited to the large-scale, quantitative analysis of membrane proteins and other classes of proteins that have been refractory to standard proteomics technology. 相似文献

De novo peptide sequencing and quantitative profiling of complex protein mixtures using mass-coded abundance tagging 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Proteomic studies require efficient, robust, and practical methods of characterizing proteins present in biological samples. Here we describe an integrated strategy for systematic proteome analysis based on differential guanidination of C-terminal lysine residues on tryptic peptides followed by capillary liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. The approach, termed mass-coded abundance tagging (MCAT), facilitates the automated, large-scale, and comprehensive de novo determination of peptide sequence and relative quantitation of proteins in biological samples in a single analysis. MCAT offers marked advantages as compared with previously described methods and is simple, economic, and effective when applied to complex proteomic mixtures. MCAT is used to identify proteins, including polymorphic variants, from complex mixtures and measure variation in protein levels from diverse cell types. 相似文献

A simplified strategy is described for the assignment of disulfide bonds in proteins of medium to high molecular mass (10-30 kDa). The method combines the use of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) and HPLC with UV diode-array detection (HPLC diode array). The denatured protein is subjected to proteolysis and the peptide mixture is divided into three fractions: (i) underivatized peptides, (ii) ethylpyridylated peptides, and (iii) reduced and ethylpyridylated peptides. The three peptide ensembles are then subjected to chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis. A systematic methodology is described to analyze the large amount of data obtained. The method was applied to the localization of disulfide bonds in alpha-L-fucosidase from pea. The two disulfide bonds were located between residues Cys64 and Cys109 and between Cys162 and Cys169, while Cys127 was free. 相似文献

Four analytical protocols for the extraction and preconcentration of organic residues in natural or purified drinking water were investigated and compared: closed loop stripping analysis; simultaneous extraction—distillation; purge and trap analysis; continuous liquid—liquid extraction. Organic extracts were submitted to a variety of separation and identification techniques. Volatiles were determined by conventional capillary column gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, using triple-stage quadrupole instruments. Non-volatile and thermally labile molecules were investigated by several different techniques (high-temperature gas chromatography, capillary column supercritical fluid chromatography, pyrolysis gas chromatography—mass spectrometry, thermospray liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and conventional fast-atom bombardment with tandem mass spectrometry). Several samples recently examined in the laboratory provide examples of this multitechnique approach for a more complete knowledge of the organic carbon distribution in water-dissolved organic matter, taking into account organic substances with widely different volatilities, polarities and thermal stabilities. 相似文献

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC), combined with gas phase fractionation tandem mass spectrometry, was used to identify 13 naturally processed peptides originating from measles virus that were presented by HLA-DRB1*03 class II molecules. The peptides are from three of the six measles structural proteins: phosphoprotein, nucleocapsid, and hemagglutinin. These peptides provide an important first step toward understanding the mechanism of immune response to measles virus and development of a new generation of peptide-based vaccines. 相似文献
