A proteomic analysis of bovine amniotic and allantoic fluids collected around Day 45 of gestation was performed using gel-based and LC-based MS workflows. A depletion/enrichment protocol using ultrafiltration under denaturing and reducing conditions produced an enriched fraction containing protein species predominantly between 5 and 50 kDa molecular weight. The analyses of conceptus fluid proteins were performed using two strategies; first, 2-DE coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS/MS and LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis of individual protein spots and second, a global protein snapshot of the enriched 5-50 kDa protein fraction by LC-ESI-MS/MS and LC-MALDI-TOF-MS/MS. Allocation of bovine specific protein identities was achieved by searching the Interactive Bovine In Silico SNP (IBISS) and NCBInr protein sequence databases resulting in the confident PMF identification and MS/MS confirmation of >200 2-DE generated allantoic fluids protein spots (74 individual protein species identified) and the MS/MS peptide identification of 105 LC-ESI-MS/MS generated protein identities. In total, the identity of 139 individual protein species from allantoic fluids was confirmed with peptide sequence probability MOWSE scores at the p<0.05 level or better. The comparison of bovine Day 45 amniotic and allantoic fluids protein profiles revealed differences between these two conceptus fluids in early pregnancy. 相似文献

The abundance profile of the human urinary proteome is known to change as a result of diseases or drug toxicities, particularly of those affecting the kidney and the urogenital tract. A consequence of such insults is the ability to identify proteins in urine, which may be useful as quantitative biomarkers. To succeed in discovering them, reproducible urine sample preparation methods and good protein resolution in two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gels for parallel semiquantitative protein measurements are desirable. Here, we describe a protein fractionation strategy enriching proteins of molecular masses (M(r)) lower than 30 kDa in a fraction separate from larger proteins. The fraction containing proteins with M(r)s higher than 30 kDa was subsequently subjected to immunoaffinity subtraction chromatography removing most of the highly abundant albumin and immunoglobulin G. Following 2-DE display, superior protein spot resolution was observed. Subsequent high-throughput mass spectrometry analysis of ca. 1400 distinct spots using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight peptide mass fingerprinting and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry lead to the successful identification of 30% of the proteins. As expected from high levels of post-translational modifications in most urinary proteins and the presence of proteolytic products, ca. 420 identified spots collapsed into 150 unique protein annotations. Only a third of the proteins identified in this study are described as classical plasma proteins in circulation, which are known to be relatively abundant in urine despite their retention to a large extent in the glomerular blood filtration process. As a proof of principle that our urinary proteome display effort holds promise for biomarker discovery, proteins isolated from the urine of a renal cell carcinoma patient were profiled prior to and after nephrectomy. Particularly, the decrease in abundance of the kininogen 2-DE gel spot train in urine after surgery was striking. 相似文献

Constitutive expression of human pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 in Pichia pastoris 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

High-level constitutive expression of the human pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 (HPLRP1) was achieved using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The HPLRP1 cDNA, including its original leader sequence, was subcloned into the pGAPZB vector and further integrated into the genome of P. pastoris X-33 under the control of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) constitutive promoter. A major protein with a molecular mass of 50 kDa was found to be secreted into the culture medium and was identified using anti-HPLRP1 polyclonal antibodies as HPLRP1 recombinant protein. The level of expression reached 100-120 mg of HPLRP1 per liter of culture medium after 40 h, as attested by specific and quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A single cation-exchange chromatography sufficed to obtain a highly purified recombinant HPLRP1 after direct batch adsorption onto S-Sepharose of the HPLRP1 present in the culture medium, at pH 5.5. N-terminal sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis were carried out to monitor the production of the mature protein and to confirm that its signal peptide was properly processed. 相似文献

A novel asparaginase-like protein is a sperm autoantigen in rats 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A novel asparaginase-like protein (ALP) of spermatozoa was cloned from rat and human testis cDNA libraries on the basis of reactivity with antibodies produced after vasectomy. Although obstruction of the male reproductive tract is known to cause an immunologic response, few of the sperm antigens responsible for the generation of autoantibodies have been characterized. We are identifying proteins of interest by coring autoantigenic protein spots from two-dimensional (2-D) gels of rat sperm extracts and microsequencing them by mass spectrometry. The peptide sequences from ALP, a 28 kDa, pI 5.7 protein, matched to a single partial length rat EST. These peptide sequences were used to clone a cDNA encoding a novel 333 amino acid open reading frame. The new protein had a similarity to portions of L-asparaginases of plants (43%) and to glycosylasparaginases in animal cells (32%). Human ALP cDNA was subsequently cloned. It showed 77% identity to the rat ALP sequence and the gene, ASRGL1 (asparaginase-like 1), mapped to chromosome locus 11q12.3. Purified recombinant rat ALP (rALP), expressed in E. coli, was used to raise polyclonal antiserum in guinea pigs. Two observations verified that the correct protein had been cloned: 1) the anti-rALP antibody reacted with both rALP and rat sperm; and 2) post-vasectomy sera bound rALP. Anti-rALP antibody stained the midpiece of rat and human sperm coincident with staining by MitoTracker Green FM, suggesting that ALP is associated with the mitochondria. Northern analysis revealed that rat ALP message was abundantly expressed in the testis but was also present in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney. 相似文献

We describe a proteomics approach that identifies antigen-specific antibody sequences directly from circulating polyclonal antibodies in the serum of an immunized animal. The approach involves affinity purification of antibodies with high specific activity and then analyzing digested antibody fractions by nano-flow liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. High-confidence peptide spectral matches of antibody variable regions are obtained by searching a reference database created by next-generation DNA sequencing of the B-cell immunoglobulin repertoire of the immunized animal. Finally, heavy and light chain sequences are paired and expressed as recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Using this technology, we isolated monoclonal antibodies for five antigens from the sera of immunized rabbits and mice. The antigen-specific activities of the monoclonal antibodies recapitulate or surpass those of the original affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies. This technology may aid the discovery and development of vaccines and antibody therapeutics, and help us gain a deeper understanding of the humoral response. 相似文献

A quantitative method for the determination of proteins in complex biological matrices has been developed based on the selectivity of antibodies for sample purification followed by proteolytic digestion and quantitative mass spectrometry. An immunosorbent of polyclonal anti-bovine serum albumin (BSA) antibodies immobilized on CNBR agarose is used in the on-line mode for selective sample pretreatment. Next, the purified sample is trypsin digested to obtain protein specific peptide markers. Subsequent analysis of the peptide mixture using a desalination procedure and a separation step coupled, on-line to an ion-trap mass spectrometer, reveals that this method enables selective determination of proteins in biological matrices like diluted human plasma. This approach enhances substantially the selectivity compared to common quantitative analysis executed with immunoassays and colorimetry, fluorimetry or luminescence detection. Hyphenation of the immunoaffinity chromatography with on-line digestion and chromatography-mass spectrometry is performed and a completely on-line quantification of the model protein BSA in bovine and human urine was established. A detection limit of 170 nmol/l and a quantification limit of 280 nmol/l is obtained using 50 microl of either standard or spiked biological matrix. The model system allows fully automated absolute quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of intact proteins in biological matrices without time-consuming labeling procedures. 相似文献

Gel-based proteomics are the most useful method for protein separation, even when compared with gel-free proteomics. Proteomic analysis by 2D gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradients is in turn the best approach to large-scale protein-expression screening. Spots visualization is pivotal for protein identification by mass spectrometry. Commonly used staining methods with excellent mass spectrometry compatibility are coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) or fluorescent dyes. In this study, an implementation of ‘blue silver’ colloidal CBB staining, characterized by high sensitivity and immediate low background, is discussed. The sensitivity of classical, colloidal and ‘blue silver’ CBB staining methods was compared on monodimensional and 2-DE gels. The implementation of the ‘blue silver’ method performs better, provided the physical state of the micelles is respected. An example of a 2-DE of human urine treated with combinatorial peptide ligand libraries demonstrates that implemented ‘blue silver’ can evidence the complexity of the sample. 相似文献

Enzyme activities such as of fructose bisphosphatase, malate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase were analyzed after cytosol proteins in the mouse liver and were separated using nondenaturing two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). The activities of both fructose bisphosphatase and malate dehydrogenase were inhibited by thyroxine, and fructose bisphosphatase activity was specifically inhibited by adenosine monophosphate in nondenaturing 2-DE. Furthermore, polypeptides of the separated proteins were analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or by peptide sequencing using electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry, or both. Proteins separated by 2-DE were identified. These results indicate that the function of proteins such as enzyme activity, and their sequence structure can be analyzed, for example by peptide mapping and peptide sequencing, after the proteins have been separated by nondenaturing 2-DE. Present results also indicate analysis of enzyme activity using nondenaturing 2-DE can be applied to screen substances which affect enzyme activity. 相似文献

Lipocalins form a widespread class of proteins involved in the transport of weakly soluble vitamins, hormones or hydrophobic molecules. β-lactoglobulin (BLG-col), a major lipocalin present in whey was purified and characterized from buffalo colostrum. The molecular weight of BLG-col as determined by Liquid chromatography -electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) was 18.257 kDa and the peptide mass fingerprint of the purified protein revealed 67% sequence homology to buffalo milk β-lg. The N-terminal-IIVTQ and LC-ESI-collision-induced dissociation-Electron transfer dissociation mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analyses of doubly (m/z 1156(+2)) and triply (m/z 546(+3)) charged ion pairs corresponding to VYVEELKPTPEGDLEILLQK (41-60) and TPEVDDEALEKFDK (125-138) sequences confirmed the identity of BLG-col. Using these peptide sequences, the location of a gene encoding for BLG-col was identified on chromosome 11 at 11q28 loci of bovine genome. The unique property of the BLG-col isolated from buffalo colostrum was its strong and specific haemagglutinating activity with 'O' blood of human erythrocytes with 10,309 HAU/mg protein. The cell surface localization of BLG-col on human erythrocytes was confirmed by immunocytochemistry and the specificity of interaction was established by immunoblot analysis of human erythrocyte membrane proteins. Based on these observations, we suggest the presence of lipocalin receptor (70 kDa) on human erythrocyte membrane and the multiple sequence alignment supported structural diversity among lipocalin receptors. 相似文献

CFP10 discriminates between nonacetylated and acetylated ESAT-6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by differential interaction 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

ESAT-6 (the 6 kDa early secreted antigenic target) protein species in short-term culture filtrate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were separated in a 4-5 narrow range pI gradient two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Eight ESAT-6 protein species were analyzed in detail by peptide mass fingerprinting matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry as well as by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. An N-terminal Thr acetylation was identified in four species and a C-terminal truncation was identified in two species. In 2-DE blot overlay assays, the recombinant 10 kDa culture filtrate protein (CFP10) discriminated N-terminal acetylated and nonacetylated ESAT-6 by differential interaction, whereas removal of the C-terminal 11 residues of ESAT-6 had no effects thereon. This example shows that the access to the protein species level can be a prerequisite to understand regulation of protein-protein interaction. 相似文献

Characterization of wheat gliadin proteins by combined two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A proteomics-based approach was used for characterizing wheat gliadins from an Italian common wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivar. A two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) map of roughly 40 spots was obtained by submitting the 70% alcohol-soluble crude protein extract to isoelectric focusing on immobilized pH gradient strips across two pH gradient ranges, i.e., 3-10 or pH 6-11, and to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis in the second dimension. The chymotryptic digest of each spot was characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and nano electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis, providing a "peptide map" for each digest. The measured masses were subsequently sought in databases for sequences. For accurate identification of the parent protein, it was necessary to determine de novo sequences by MS/MS experiments on the peptides. By partial mass fingerprinting, we identified protein molecules such as alpha/beta-, gamma-, omega-gliadin, and high molecular weight-glutenin. The single spots along the 2-DE map were discriminated on the basis of their amino acid sequence traits. alpha-Gliadin, the most represented wheat protein in databases, was highly conserved as the relative N-terminal sequence of the components from the 2-DE map contained only a few silent amino acid substitutions. The other closely related gliadins were identified by sequencing internal peptide chains. The results gave insight into the complex nature of gliadin heterogeneity. This approach has provided us with sound reference data for differentiating gliadins amongst wheat varieties. 相似文献

Using Ca2+-dependent hydrophobic interaction chromatography we have identified a novel bovine brain Ca2+-binding protein (CaBP) composed of 21 kDa and 23 kDa polypeptides. This calciprotein was further purified by heat-treatment in the presence of Ca2+ and ion-exchange chromatography. The isolated protein exhibits a number of properties in common with proteins belonging to the calmodulin family of CaBPs, including a Ca2+-dependent electrophoretic mobility shift on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, retention of the ability to bind 45Ca2+ after electrophoresis and Western blotting, and a high content of acidic amino acids. We have recently isolated and characterized a 21 kDa CaBP from bovine brain and conclude that the 21 kDa and 21/23 kDa CaBPs are isoforms since they have very similar U.V. absorption spectra and amino acid compositions, and polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits against the 21 kDa CaBP cross-react to an identical degree with the 21/23 kDa CaBP as determined by the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Both proteins contain carbohydrate, but they differ in the degree of glycosylation. Tissue distribution studies indicate the presence of both 21 kDa and 23 kDa Ca2+-binding polypeptides in bovine trachea, aorta, kidney, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, and chicken gizzard smooth muscle. 相似文献

A proteomic map for human urine on two-dimensional (2-D) gels has been developed. Initial studies demonstrated that the urine proteins prepared by conventional methods showed interference and poor reproducibility in 2-D electrophoresis (2-DE). To address this issue, urine samples were dialyzed to remove any interfering molecules. The dialysis of urine proteins and the concentration by lyophilization without fractionation significantly improved the reproducibility and resolution and likely represents the total urine proteins on a 2-D gel. In addition, removing albumin from urine using Affi-Gel Blue helped to identify the low-abundant proteins. Using the developed method, we prepared proteins from urine collected from healthy females and males. The large inter- and intra-subject variation in protein profiles on 2-D gels made it difficult to establish a normal human urine proteomic 2-D map. To resolve this problem, urinary proteins were prepared from the pooled urine collected from 20 healthy females and males, respectively. The established male and female urine proteomes separated on 2-D gels were almost identical except for some potential sex-dependent protein spots. We have annotated 113 different proteins on the 2-D gel by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). We propose that the established total urine proteome can be used for 2-DE analysis, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and identification of novel disease-specific biomarkers. 相似文献

Timely classification and identification of bacteria is of vital importance in many areas of public health. Mass spectrometry-based methods provide an attractive alternative to well-established microbiologic procedures. Mass spectrometry methods can be characterized by the relatively high speed of acquiring taxonomically relevant information. Gel-free mass spectrometry proteomics techniques allow for rapid fingerprinting of bacterial proteins using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or, for high-throughput sequencing of peptides from protease-digested cellular proteins, using mass analysis of fragments from collision-induced dissociation of peptide ions. The latter technique uses database searching of product ion mass spectra. A database contains a comprehensive list of protein sequences translated from protein-encoding open reading frames found in bacterial genomes. The results of such searches allow the assignment of experimental peptide sequences to matching theoretical bacterial proteomes. Phylogenetic profiles of sequenced peptides are then used to create a matrix of sequence-to-bacterium assignments, which are analyzed using numerical taxonomy tools. The results thereof reveal the relatedness between bacteria, and allow the taxonomic position of an investigated strain to be inferred. 相似文献

旨在探讨N端测序作为单克隆抗体常规放行分析方法的适用性。应用Edman降解法、质量肽图法对两个针对不同靶点的单抗进行N端测序,用肽图法寻找二者的特征性鉴别肽段,用离子色谱、毛细管区带电泳和成像毛细管等点聚焦电泳进行异质性分析。Edman降解法显示两个单抗轻链和重链的15个氨基酸分别完全一致,质量肽图法显示二者轻重链的T1肽段分别完全一致,而肽图法和3种异质性分析方法则可对两个抗体进行有效鉴别。由于人源化或人源单抗序列框架数量较为有限,两个单抗的N末端序列完全相同,运用Edman降解法进行N端测序是否能作为单抗的常规放行分析方法值得进一步商榷,同时上述多种方法可运用于单抗的鉴别分析,并可对其异质性进行控制,较N端测序分析更具有客观性。 相似文献

Quantitative profiling of plasma peptides in asthmatic mice using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Asthma is increasing in prevalence worldwide as a result of factors associated with a Western lifestyle. However, simple and reliable diagnostic and prognostic markers are yet to be found. In an attempt to identify protein biomarker profiles among small molecular weight ranges, we employed an approach combining liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, instead of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), which has previously been used to analyze protein expression patterns. Here we described its application to compare plasma peptides from control and chronic asthma mice. Peptides were quantitatively profiled as a multidimensional peptide mass fingerprint by a combination of reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. They were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. In this study, we quantitatively identified the fragment f of complement 3 (C3f), which is important in inflammation. C3f was significantly higher in controls than chronic asthma mice. Our strategy allowed the detection and identification of different plasma peptides between control and chronic asthma mice on a proteomic scale. Therefore, these results suggest that native small peptides detected by non-2-DE techniques may be useful and specific biomarkers of disease. 相似文献

We propose two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry to define the protein components of regulons and
stimulons in bacteria, including those organisms where genome sequencing is still in progress. The basic 2-DE protocol allows
high resolution and reproducibility and enables the direct comparison of hundreds or even thousands of proteins simultaneously.
To identify proteins that comprise stimulons and regulons, peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) with matrix-assisted laser desorption
ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis is the first option and, if results from this tool are
insufficient, complementary data obtained with electrospray ionization tandem-MS (ESI-MS/MS) may permit successful protein
identification. ESI-MS/MS and MALDI-TOF-MS provide complementary data sets, and so a more comprehensive coverage of a proteome
can be obtained using both techniques with the same sample, especially when few sequenced proteins of a particular organism
exist or genome sequencing is still in progress. 相似文献

We present here a new approach that enabled the identification of a new protein from a bacterial strain with unknown genomic background using a combination of inverted PCR with degenerate primers derived from N-terminal protein sequences and high resolution peptide mass determination of proteolytic digests from two-dimensional electrophoretic separation. Proteins of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans specifically induced in the presence of phosphite were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis as a series of apparent soluble and membrane-bound isoforms with molecular masses of approximately 35 kDa. Inverted PCR based on N-terminal sequences and high resolution peptide mass fingerprinting by Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry provided the identification of a new NAD(P) epimerase/dehydratase by specific assignment of peptide masses to a single ORF, excluding other possible ORF candidates. The protein identification was ascertained by chromatographic separation and sequencing of internal proteolytic peptides. Metal ion affinity isolation of tryptic peptides and high resolution mass spectrometry provided the identification of five phosphorylations identified in the domains 23-47 and 91-118 of the protein. In agreement with the phosphorylations identified, direct molecular weight determination of the soluble protein eluted from the two-dimensional gels by mass spectrometry provided a molecular mass of 35,400 Da, which is consistent with an average degree of three phosphorylations. 相似文献
