Abstract: | Summary. With the increasing importance of proteome analysis, studying the phosphoproteome is a priority for functional studies. Therefore, a rational approach to simplifying the proteome is needed. In this work, we examined the use of immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) using ferric ions-chelated column for enriching crude cell extracts in phosphoproteins. The adsorption of the proteins on Fe3+ was obtained at an acidic pH 5.6, and their elution at a more basic pH in Tris buffer. To evaluate the separation, western blots were performed with either anti-phosphotyrosine or anti-phosphoserine/threonine. The analysis of the eluates demonstrated the selectivity of the separation, particularly for proteins phosphorylated on serine or threonine. In conclusion, the advantages and the limits of this approach are discussed. |
