Abstract: | A method for identifying modified lysine residues in a protein, using lysine-specific endopeptidase treatment followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) peptide mapping, is described. As a model protein, the photoprotein aequorin was chosen and the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of biotin was employed to chemically modify the lysine residues. After digestion with lysine-specific endopeptidase, the biotinylated residues of an amino terminus and five potential lysine residues were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS without any other separation procedure. |
