Proteomic Analysis of Post-translational
Modifications
 Post-translational modifications (PTMs)
 Covalent processing events that change the properties
of a protein
 proteolytic cleavage
 addition of a modifying group to one or more amino
acids
 Determine its activity state, localization, turnover,
interactions with other proteins
 Mass spectrometry and other biophysical methods can
be used to determine and localize potential PTMs
 However, PTMs are still challenging aspects of
proteomics with current methodologies
Complexity of the Proteome
 Protein processing and modification comprise an important third
dimension of information, beyond those of DNA sequence and
protein sequence.
 Complexity of the human proteome is far beyond the more than
30,000 human genes.
 The thousands of component proteins of a cell and their posttranslational modifications may change with the cell cycle,
environmental conditions, developmental stage, and metabolic state.
 Proteomic approaches that advance beyond identifying proteins to
elucidating their post-translational modifications are needed.
 Use MS to

Glycoprotein Gel Stain
Detection of glycoproteins and total protein on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel
using the Pro-Q Fuchsia Glycoprotein Gel Stain Kit.
CandyCane glycoprotein molecular weight standards
containing alternating glycosylated and nonglycosylated
proteins were electrophoresed through a 13% polyacrylamide
gel. After separation, the gel was stained with SYPRO Ruby
protein gel stain to detect all eight marker proteins (left).
Subsequently, the gel was stained by the standard periodic
acid–Schiff base (PAS) method in the Pro-Q Fuchsia
Glycoprotein Gel Stain Kit to detect the glycoproteins alpha2macroglobulin, glucose oxidase, alpha1-glycoprotein and
avidin.

Nitro-Tyrosine Modification
 Oxidative modification of amino acid side chains include
methionine oxidation to the corresponding sulfone, S-nitrosation
or S-nitrosoglutationylation of cysteine residues, and tyrosine
modification to yield o,o’-dityrosine, 3-nitrotyrosine and 3chlorotyrosine.
 Nitric oxide (NO) synthases provide the biological precursor for
nitrating agents that perform this modification in vivo. NO can
form nitrating agents in a number of ways including reacting with
superoxide to make peroxynitrite (HOONO) and through
enzymatic oxidation of nitrite to generate NO·2
 Tyrosine nitration is a well-established protein modification that
occurs in disease states associated with oxidative stress and
increased nitric oxide synthase activity.
 The combination of 2D-PAGE, western blotting, and mass
spectrometry has been the more typical strategy to identify 3nitrotyrosine-modified proteins.

Phosphorylation
 Analysis of the entire complement of phosphorylated proteins in cells:
“phosphoproteome”
 Qualitative and quantitative information regarding protein phosphorylation
important
 Important in many cellular processes
 signal transduction, gene regulation, cell cycle, apoptosis
 Most common sites of phosphorylation: Ser, Thr, Tyr
 MS can be used to detect and map
locations for phosphorylation
 MW increase from addition of
phosphate group
 treatment with phosphatase allows
determination of number of
phosphate groups
 digestion and tandem MS allows for
determination of phosphorylation
sites
MS/MS and Phosphorylation
 Detection of phosphopeptides in complex mixtures can be
facilitated by neutral loss and precurson ion scanning using
tandem mass spectrometers
 Allow selective visualization of peptides containing phosphorylated
residues
 Most commonly performed with triple quadrupole mass
spectrometers

MS/MS and Phosphorylation
 Precursor ion scan


Q1 is set to allow all the components of the mixture to enter the
collision cell and undergo CAD
Q3 is fixed at a specific mass value, so that only analytes which
fragment to give a fragment ion of this specific mass will be
detected
Phospho-peptide fragments by CAD to give an ion at m/z 79 (PO3)
Set Q3 to m/z 79: only species which fragment to give a fragment
ion of 79 reach the detector and hence indicating phosphorylation
detector

Q3
MS/MS and Phosphorylation
 Neutral loss scan
 Q1 and Q3 are scanned synchronously but with a
specific m/z offset
 The entire mixture is allowed to enter the collision cell,
but only those species which fragment to yield a
fragment with the same mass as the offset will be
observed at the detector
 pSer and pThr peptides readily lose phosphoric acid
during CAD (98 Da)
 For 2+ ion set offset at 49
 Any species which loses 49 from a doubly charged ion
would be observed at the detector and be indicative of
phosphorylation
Enrichment strategies to analyze
phosphoproteins/peptides
 Phosphospecific antibodies
 Anti-pY quite successful
 Anti-pS and anti-pT not as successful, but may be used (M.
Grønborg, T. Z. Kristiansen, A. Stensballe, J. S. Andersen, O.

Identification of Serine/Threonine-phosphorylated Proteins by
Enrichment with Phospho-specific Antibodies.” Mol. Cell.
Proteomics 2002, 1:517–527.
 Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC)
 Negatively charged phosphate groups bind to postively
charged metal ions (e.g., Fe3+, Ga3+) immobilized to a
chromatographic support
 Limitation: non-specific binding to acidic side chains (D, E)
 Derivatize all peptides by methyl esterification to reduce
non-specific binding by carboxylate groups.

Two peptides of identical chemical structure that differ in mass
because they differ in isotopic composition are expected to
generate identical specific signals in a mass spectrometer.
Methods coupling mass spectrometry and stable isotope tagging
have been developed for quantitative proteomics.
ICAT: Isotope-Coded Affinity Tag
 Alkylating group covalently attaches the reagent to reduces Cys-
residues.
 A polyether mass-encoded linker contains 8 hydrogens (d0) or 8
deuteriums (d8) that represents the isotope dilution.
 A biotin affinity tag is used to selectively isolate tagged peptides
(by avidin purification).
ICAT: Isotope-Coded Affinity Tag
MS/MS
identifies
the protein
 The Cys-residues in sample 1 is labeled with d0-ICAT and sample 2 is labeled
with d8-ICAT.
 The combined samples are digested, and the biotinylated ICAT-labeled peptides
are enriched by avidin affinity chromatography and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
 Each Cys-peptide appears as a pair of signals differing by the mass differential
encoded in the tag. The ratio of the signal intensities indicates the abundance
ratio of the protein from which the peptide originates.
Stable Isotope Amino Acid or 15N- in vivo
Labeling
 Metabolic stable isotope coding
of proteomes
 An equivalent number of cells
from 2 distinct cultures are grown
on media supplemented with
either normal amino acids or 14Nminimal media, or stable isotope
amino acids (2D/13C/15N) or 15Nenriched media.
 These mass tags are
incorporated into proteins during
translation.
Enzymatic Stable Isotope Coding of
Proteomes
 Enzymatic digestion in the
presence of 18O-water
incorporates 18O at the carboxyterminus of peptides
 Proteins from 2 different samples
are enzymatically digested in
normal water or H218O.

Identification of Low Abundance Proteins
 The identification of low abundance
proteins in the presence of high
abundance proteins is problematic
(e.g., “needle in a haystack”)
 Pre-fractionation of complex protein
mixtures can alleviate some
difficulties

gel electrophoresis, chromatography,
etc
 Removal of known high abundance
proteins allows less abundant
species to be visualized and
detected
