Based on the monolithic silica gel materials with hierarchical pore structure and on the SPE devices (MonoTip) developed thereof, a trypsin-immobilized monolithic silica in a pipette tip (MonoTip Trypsin) suitable for digesting proteins has been newly developed. The surface of monolithic silica fixed into the tip was chemically modified with trypsin via an aminopropyl group. Trypsin-immobilized monolith successfully performed a rapid digestion of reduced and alkylated proteins with only a few times pipetting operation for the pre-treatment procedure of chromatographic analysis. The novel solid-phase digestion tool using monolithic silica allows a high-throughput trypsin proteolysis of bio-substances in proteomics. 相似文献

A metal‐ion chelate immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) supported on organic–inorganic hybrid silica monolith was developed for rapid digestion of proteins. The monolithic support was in situ prepared in a fused silica capillary via the polycondensation between tetraethoxysilane hydrolytic sol and iminodiacetic acid conjugated glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane. After activated by Cu2+, trypsin was immobilized onto the monolithic support via metal chelation. Proteolytic capability of such an IMER was evaluated by the digestion of myoglobin and BSA, and the digests were further analyzed by microflow reversed‐phase liquid chromatography with ESI‐MS/MS. Similar sequence coverages of myoglobin and BSA were obtained by IMER, in comparison to those obtained by in‐solution digestion (91 versus 92% for 200 ng myoglobin, and 26 versus 26% for 200 ng BSA). However, the digestion time was shortened from 12 h to 50 s. When the enzymatic activity was decreased after seven runs, the IMER could be easily regenerated by removing Cu2+ via EDTA followed by trypsin immobilization with fresh Cu2+ introduced, yielding the equal sequence coverage (26% for 200 ng BSA). For ~5 μg rat liver extract, even more proteins were identified with the immobilized trypsin digestion within 150 s in comparison to the in‐solution digestion for 24 h (541 versus 483), demonstrating that the IMER could be a promising tool for efficient and high‐throughput proteome profiling. 相似文献

Enzymatic digestion of proteins is a key step in protein identification by mass spectrometry (MS). Traditional solution-based protein digestion methods require long incubation times and are limitations for high throughput proteomics research. Recently, solid phase digestion (e.g. trypsin immobilization on solid supports) has become a useful strategy to accelerate the speed of protein digestion and eliminate autodigestion by immobilizing and isolating the enzyme moieties on solid supports. Monolithic media is an attractive support for immobilization of enzymes due to its unique properties that include fast mass transfer, stability in most solvents, and versatility of functional groups on the surfaces of monoliths. We prepared immobilized trypsin monolithic capillaries for on-column protein digestion, analyzed the digested peptides through LC/FTICR tandem MS, and compared peptide mass fingerprinting by MALDI-TOF-MS. To further improve the digestion efficiency for low abundance proteins, we introduced C4 functional groups onto the monolith surfaces to combine on-column protein enrichment and digestion. Compared with immobilized trypsin monolithic capillaries without C4, the immobilized trypsin-C4 monolith showed improved digestion efficiency. A mechanism for increased efficiency from the combination of sample enrichment and on-column digestion is also proposed in this paper. Moreover, we investigated the effects of organic solvent on digestion and detection by comparing the observed digested peptide sequences. Our data demonstrated that all columns showed good tolerance to organic solvents and maintained reproducible enzymatic activity for at least 30 days. 相似文献

Tryptic digestion of proteins in trypsin loaded porous silica has been shown to be highly efficient. Enzymatic silica-reactors were prepared by immobilizing trypsin into macroporous ordered siliceous foam (MOSF) and into mesoporous SBA-15 silica which has a smaller pore size. The tryptic products from the silica reactors were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and a higher proteolysis efficiency was obtained with MOSF. These results can be well interpreted by a sequential digestion model taking into account the confinement and concentration enrichment of both the substrates and enzymes within the silica pores. Proteins at low concentrations and proteins in urea and surfactant solutions were also successfully digested with the MOSF-based reactor and identified by MS. Considering that the immobilized trypsin could retain its enzymatic activity for weeks, this MOSF reactor provides many advantages compared to free enzyme proteolysis. As a proof-of-concept, the digest of a real complex sample extracted from the cytoplasm of mouse liver tissue using trypsin loaded MOSF yielded better results than the typical in-solution protocol. 相似文献

A monolithic enzymatic microreactor was prepared in a fused-silica capillary by in situ polymerization of acrylamide, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) in the presence of a binary porogenic mixture of dodecanol and cyclohexanol, followed by ammonia solution treatment, glutaraldehyde activation and trypsin modification. The choice of acrylamide as co-monomer was found useful to improve the efficiency of trypsin modification, thus, to increase the enzyme activity. The optimized microreactor offered very low back pressure, enabling the fast digestion of proteins flowing through the reactor. The performance of the monolithic microreactor was demonstrated with the digestion of cytochrome c at high flow rate. The digests were then characterized by CE and HPLC-MS/MS with the sequence coverage of 57.7%. The digestion efficiency was found over 230 times as high as that of the conventional method. In addition, for the first time, protein digestion carried out in a mixture of water and ACN was compared with the conventional aqueous reaction using MS/MS detection, and the former solution was found more compatible and more efficient for protein digestion. 相似文献

Affinity monolithic microcolumns with immobilized affinity ligands including protein A, protein G' and polyclonal antibodies were developed for the microscale depletion of the top eight most abundant proteins in human serum. These various affinity microcolumns were evaluated for their sample loading capacities with the standard protein substrates. In general, the sample loading capacity of protein A and protein G' was about 7-25 fold higher than that of the antibody-based affinity columns. The macroporous nature of the monolithic columns, which offers high permeability in pressure-driven flow, allowed the design of long tandem affinity columns for the simultaneous depletion of the top eight most abundant proteins in a single run. The tandem format could be extended to include additional affinity monolithic columns to deplete other proteins for which specific antibodies are available without running into high inlet pressure. Furthermore, the tandem affinity columns were integrated with immobilized trypsin monolithic columns to achieve the simultaneous depletion and digestion of proteins. The various formats investigated in this study could be down scaled to achieve nanoLC or up scaled to perform conventional HPLC depending on the size of the proteomic samples. 相似文献

Amino‐functionalized macroporous silica foam (NH2‐MOSF) has been developed as a host reactor to realize highly efficient proteolysis in acidic solutions where normal tryptic reactions cannot occur. The digestion protocol consists simply of adding the functionalized NH2‐MOSF into the protein and trypsin solutions without altering the bulk pH or preloading the enzymes on the materials. With this protocol, digestion of sample fractions from LC can be efficiently realized in the acidic solutions directly. Digestion of a protein fraction extracted from rat liver tissue after LC separation was performed to illustrate this principle, where 103 proteins were successfully identified at pH 3 after 1.5 h of tryptic digestion. 相似文献

A simple method for effective analysis of various proteins has been developed, including membrane proteins, with LC-MS/MS, using CNBr and acetic acid cleavage in one reaction for the digestion of both the M/ and /D/ positions within the target proteins. This dual chemical reaction has been compared with traditional CNBr or an acid cleavage method using a rat kidney membrane fraction and it showed an advantage of the dual reaction with respect to a high number of peptides detected and a high protein recovery. Furthermore, when this dual chemical reaction was combined with trypsin digestion, the number of proteins surprisingly increased approximately 3.0 times more than in the cases with the trypsin digestion only. It was also 1.9 times more than in cases dealing with Tube-Gel trypsin digestion, which is one of the most efficient digestion methods. In addition, it was shown that this dual chemical reaction could be applied to an in-gel digestion. Using the combination of the chemical and enzyme reaction, 172 proteins including 95 membrane proteins were identified. This indicated that this method is one of the efficient systems in single MS/MS analysis. In particular, many membrane proteins identified in this study were detected by a new combination, but not by a traditional trypsin digestion method. 相似文献

A novel open tubular nanoproteomic platform featuring accelerated on-line protein digestion and high-resolution nano liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been developed. The platform features very narrow open tubular columns, and is hence particularly suited for limited sample amounts. For enzymatic digestion of proteins, samples are passed through a 20 µm inner diameter (ID) trypsin + endoproteinase Lys-C immobilized open tubular enzyme reactor (OTER). Resulting peptides are subsequently trapped on a monolithic pre-column and transferred on-line to a 10 µm ID porous layer open tubular (PLOT) liquid chromatography LC separation column. Wnt/ß-catenein signaling pathway (Wnt-pathway) proteins of potentially diagnostic value were digested+detected in targeted-MS/MS mode in small cell samples and tumor tissues within 120 minutes. For example, a potential biomarker Axin1 was identifiable in just 10 ng of sample (protein extract of ∼1,000 HCT15 colon cancer cells). In comprehensive mode, the current OTER-PLOT set-up could be used to identify approximately 1500 proteins in HCT15 cells using a relatively short digestion+detection cycle (240 minutes), outperforming previously reported on-line digestion/separation systems. The platform is fully automated utilizing common commercial instrumentation and parts, while the reactor and columns are simple to produce and have low carry-over. These initial results point to automated solutions for fast and very sensitive MS based proteomics, especially for samples of limited size. 相似文献

The preparation of biocatalysts based on immobilized trypsin is of great importance for both proteomic research and industrial applications. Here, we have developed a facile method to immobilize trypsin on hydrophobic cellulose-coated silica nanoparticles by surface adsorption. The immobilization conditions for the trypsin enzyme were optimized. The as-prepared biocatalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. In comparison with free enzyme, the immobilized trypsin exhibited greater resistances against thermal inactivation and denaturants. In addition, the immobilized trypsin showed good durability for multiple recycling. The general applicability of the immobilized trypsin for proteomic studies was confirmed by enzymatic digestion of two widely used protein substrates: bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cytochrome c. The surface adsorption protocols for trypsin immobilization may provide a promising strategy for enzyme immobilization in general, with great potential for a range of applications in proteomic studies. 相似文献

An enzymatic microreactor with a volume of 470 nL has been prepared by immobilizing trypsin on a 10 cm long reactive porous polymer monolith located in a 100 microm i.d. fused silica capillary. This reactor affords suitable degrees of digestion of proteins even after very short residence times of less than 1 min. The performance is demonstrated with the digestion of eight proteins ranging in molecular mass from 2848 to 77 754. The digests were analyzed using mass spectrometry in two modes: off-line MALDI and in-line nanoelectrospray ionization. The large numbers of identified peptides enable a high degree of sequence coverage and positive identification of the proteins. The extent of sequence coverage decreases as the molecular mass of the digested protein increases. 相似文献

A nanoliter trypsin-based monolithic microreactor coupled with muRPLC-MS/MS was reported for shotgun proteome analysis. The proteins were rapidly digested by the microreactor, and the resulting protein digests were directly loaded onto a muRPLC column for separation followed with detection of the eluted peptides by tandem mass spectrometer. The digestion efficiency and stability of the microreactor was demonstrated by using bovine serum albumin as a model protein. When compared with an incubation time of more than 10 h by free trypsin in the conventional digestion approach, protein mixtures can be digested by the microreactor in several minutes. This system was applied to the analysis of the total cell lysate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After a Sequest database search, a total of 1578 unique peptides corresponding to 541 proteins were identified when 590 ng yeast protein was digested by the microreactor with an incubation time of only 1 min. 相似文献

A method for integrating nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry with a microreactor for on-line digestion and fast peptide mass mapping from dilute protein samples is presented. Fused silica capillaries (i.d. 50 microm, o.d. 360 microm) are employed as the digestion microreactor and the nanoelectrospray emitter by immobilizing trypsin onto the surface of the inner wall of the fused silica capillary tubing. The procedure is demonstrated using solutions of 1pmol/mul angiotensin II, cytochrome c, hemoglobin, and beta-casein. Because the inner walls of the capillaries are modified by covalent chemical bonds, the adsorption of peptides and proteins to the inner walls of the capillaries is suppressed. This procedure was performed with solutions as dilute as 1fmol/mul (1nM) cytochrome c. This method shows generation of tryptic peptides with sequence coverage up to 90% within minutes; trypsin autolysis products are not detected. In addition, the immobilized enzyme can be cleaned easily, enabling the microreactor to be reused for nanoelectrospray. 相似文献

We have developed a new protocol for digesting hydrophobic proteins using trypsin with the aid of phase-transfer surfactants (PTS), such as sodium deoxycholate (SDC). SDC increases the solubility of hydrophobic proteins, enhances the activity of trypsin, and improves the accessibility to trypsin of proteins denatured during the extraction process. After digestion, SDC was successfully removed from the acidified solution containing tryptic peptides by adding a water-immiscible organic solvent, into which SDC was predominantly transferred, while the digested peptides remained in the aqueous phase. Compared with a protocol using an acid-labile surfactant, this PTS protocol increased the number of identified proteins and the recovery of hydrophobic peptides in the analysis of 400 ng of a membrane-enriched fraction of Escherichia coli. Application of the PTS protocol to 9.0 microg of a membrane-enriched pellet from human cervical cancer HeLa cells resulted in identification of a total of 1450 proteins, of which 764 (53%) were membrane proteins, by two-dimensional strong cation exchange (SCX)-C18 LC-MSMS with 5 SCX fractions. The distribution of the number of transmembrane domains in proteins identified in this study was in agreement with that in the IPI human database, suggesting that the PTS protocol can provide unbiased digestion of the membrane proteome. 相似文献

Here we present a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight (MALDI–TOF/TOF)-based label-free relative protein quantification strategy that involves sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) separation of proteins followed by in-gel trypsin digestion. The main problem encountered in gel-based protein quantification is the difficulty in achieving complete and consistent proteolytic digestion. To solve this problem, we developed a high-pressure-assisted in-gel trypsin digestion method that is based on pressure cycling technology (PCT). The PCT approach performed at least as well as the conventional overnight in-gel trypsin digestion approach in parameters such as number of peaks detected, number of peptides identified, and sequence coverage, and the digestion time was reduced to 45 min. The gel/mass spectrometry (MS)-based label-free protein quantification method presented in this work proved the applicability of the signal response factor concept for relative protein quantification previously demonstrated by other groups using the liquid chromatography (LC)/MS platform. By normalizing the average signal intensities of the three most intense peptides of each protein with the average intensities of spiked synthetic catalase tryptic peptides, which we used as an internal standard, we observed spot-to-spot and lane-to-lane coefficients of variation of less than 10 and 20%, respectively. We also demonstrated that the method can be used for determining the relative quantities of proteins comigrating during electrophoretic separation. 相似文献

In this work, polydopamine‐coated magnetic graphene (MG@PDA) nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile method. Trypsin was then directly immobilized on the surface of the nanocomposites through simple PDA chemistry with no need for introducing any other coupling groups. The as‐made MG@PDA nanocomposites inherit not only the large surface area of graphene which makes them capable of immobilizing high amount of trypsin (up to 0.175 mg/mg), but also the good hydrophilicity of PDA which greatly improves their biocompatibility. Moreover, the strong magnetic responsibility makes them easy to be separated from the digested peptide solution when applying a magnetic field. The feasibility of the trypsin‐immobilized MG@PDA (MG@PDA‐trypsin) nanocomposites for protein digestion was investigated and the results indicated their high digestion efficiency in a short digestion time (10 min). In addition, the reusability and stability of the MG@PDA‐trypsin nanocomposites were also tested in our work. To further confirm the efficiency of MG@PDA‐trypsin nanocomposites for proteome analysis, they were applied to digest proteins extracted from skimmed milk, followed by nano RPLC‐ESI‐MS/MS analysis, and a total of 321 proteins were identified, much more than those obtained by 16‐h in‐solution digestion (264 proteins), indicating the great potential of MG@PDA‐trypsin nanocomposites as the supports for high‐throughput proteome study. 相似文献

An easily replaceable enzymatic microreactor has been fabricated based on the glass microchip with trypsin-immobilized magnetic silica microspheres (MS microspheres). Magnetic microspheres with small size (approximately 300 nm in diameter) and high magnetic responsivity to magnetic field (68.2 emu/g) were synthesized and modified with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde (GA) were then introduced to functionalize the MS microspheres for enzyme immobilization. Trypsin was stably immobilized onto the MS microspheres through the reaction of primary amines of the proteins with aldehyde groups on the MS microspheres. The trypsin-immobilized MS microspheres were then locally packed into the microchannel by the application of a strong field magnet to form an on-chip enzymatic microreactor. The digestion efficiency and reproducibility of the microreactor were demonstrated by using cytochrome c (Cyt-C) as a model protein. When compared with an incubation time of 12 h by free trypsin in the conventional digestion approach, proteins can be digested by the on-chip microreactor in several minutes. This microreactor was also successfully applied to the analysis of an RPLC fraction of the rat liver extract. This opens a route for its further application in top-down proteomic analysis. 相似文献

Whole mouse sciatic nerves were split and incubated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and in PBS containing various amounts of trypsin. After 24 hours of exposure to PBS alone there were no changes in the gel electrophoresis pattern of myelin proteins. During the same period of time, trypsin digested major amounts ofboth the main myelin protein (PO) and the two basic proteins of myelin (P1, P2). The basic proteins were undetectable after 24 hours of 1% trypsin digestion while the main myelin protein was not completely digested. The amount of digestion of the myelin proteins was related to the concentration of trypsin and the time of digestion. Myelin proteins were demonstrated by staining with Coomassie blue, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and by special indirect lighting techniques. 相似文献

In this study, a novel method of on-plate digestion using trypsin-immobilized magnetic nanospheres was developed followed by MALDI-TOF-MS for rapid and effective analysis and identification of proteins. We utilized a facile one-pot method for the direct preparation of amine-functionalized magnetic nanospheres with highly magnetic properties and the amino groups on the outer surface. Through the reaction of the aldehyde groups with amine groups, trypsin was simply and stably immobilized onto the magnetic nanospheres. The obtained trypsin-linked magnetic nanospheres were then applied for on-plate digestion of sample proteins (myoglobin and Cytochrome c). Moreover, after digestion, the trypsin-linked nanospheres could be easily removed from the plate due to their magnetic property, which would avoid causing contamination on the ion source chamber in MS. The effects of the temperature and incubation time on the digestion efficiency were characterized. Within only 5 min, proteins could be efficiently digested with the peptide sequence coverage higher than or equal to that of the traditional in-solution digestion for 12 h. Furthermore, RPLC fractions of rat liver extract were also successfully processed using this novel method. These results suggested that our improved on-plate digestion protocol for MALDI-MS may find further application in automated analysis of large sets of proteins. 相似文献

An optimization and comparison of trypsin digestion strategies for peptide/protein identifications by microLC-MS/MS with or without MS compatible detergents in mixed organic-aqueous and aqueous systems was carried out in this study. We determine that adding MS-compatible detergents to proteolytic digestion protocols dramatically increases peptide and protein identifications in complex protein mixtures by shotgun proteomics. Protein solubilization and proteolytic efficiency are increased by including MS-compatible detergents in trypsin digestion buffers. A modified trypsin digestion protocol incorporating the MS compatible detergents consistently identifies over 300 proteins from 5 microg of pancreatic cell lysates and generates a greater number of peptide identifications than trypsin digestion with urea when using LC-MS/MS. Furthermore, over 700 proteins were identified by merging protein identifications from trypsin digestion with three different MS-compatible detergents. We also observe that the use of mixed aqueous and organic solvent systems can influence protein identifications in combinations with different MS-compatible detergents. Peptide mixtures generated from different MS-compatible detergents and buffer combinations show a significant difference in hydrophobicity. Our results show that protein digestion schemes incorporating MS-compatible detergents generate quantitative as well as qualitative changes in observed peptide identifications, which lead to increased protein identifications overall and potentially increased identification of low-abundance proteins. 相似文献
