Introduction
Proteomics important technology
Large-scale study of proteins
Structure
Functions
“Omics” revolution: shift in strategy
piece-by-piece -> global analysis
hypothesis-driven -> discovery-based research
Expression proteomics
analysis of differential protein expression
Functional proteomics
posttranslational modifications
protein-protein, protein-ligand interactions
sequence-structure-function relationships

Why proteomics?
Why proteomics?
Protein alterations cannot be fully deduced from DNA.
RNA expression does not always reflect protein levels:
translational control
degradation
turnover
Some tissues not suitable for RNA expression analysis.
Proteins are the physiological/pathological active key players.
General goal:
better understanding of genesis and progression of diseases
Clinical goals:
early disease detection (biomarkers)
identification of therapeutic targets
therapy monitoring
Multidisciplinary
Cells, tissue
HPLC
MALDI, ESI
TOF, Q, IT
Algorithms
Typical stages
Aebersold R, Mann M, Nature. 2003
Internal standards
Tandem mass tags
Isotope dilution
Quantification strategies

peptides
MS/MS
Proteolytic digest

Protein & peptide fractionation
Complex mixtures
Proteins
Molecules
Works only if mixture has equal amounts
Abundant species suppress signals from less abundant ones
Difficult to interpret
Enyzmatic digestion -> many peptide products
2-D electrophoresis
Protein fractionation
High performance liquid chromatography
Peptide fractionation

Proteins Peptides Fragments
Proteases, e.g. trypsin, break protein into peptides
Tandem MS breaks peptides into fragment ions
Measures the mass of each piece.
MS accelerates the fragmented ions;
heavier ions accelerate slower than lighter ones
MS measure mass/charge ratio of an ion
Collision Induced Dissociation
H+
H...-HN-CH-CO
Ri-1
Prefix Fragment
. . . NH-CH-CO-NH-CH-CO-…OH
Ri
Ri+1
Suffix Fragment
Peptides tend to fragment along the backbone.
Fragments can also loose neutral chemical groups like NH 3 and H2O.

Thermally unstable
Ionisation transfers analyte into

Whole protein mass analysis

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR).
Mass analysis of proteolytic peptides more popular
Low costs
Sample preparation is
MALDI time-of-flight instruments
Multiple stage quadrupole-time-of-flight and
quadrupole ion trap also find use in this application.

Post-translational modifications using mass spectrometry
www.draptis.eu/proteomics.ppt
The Mass Spectrometer (MS)
Moving ions are separated
in a magnetic field according
to their mass-charge-ratio
Importance for modern Proteomics
Molecular weight determination of peptides and proteins
Amino acid sequencing of peptides
Detection of post-translational modifications (ptm)
Protein phosphorylation
Phosphoregulation
Common regulation of protein function
Phosphorylaion -> Activation
Mostly Ser, Thr, Tyr are phosphorylated by
protein kinases
Mann & Jensen, Nature Biotech, 2003
Identification of a Phosphorylation-site
1.
Isolation of known protein
2.
Enrichment with Metal Affinity Complexation
3.
Digestion with Trypsin
4.
Mass Spectrometry with peptides
Identification of a Phosphorylation-site
Modification is proven to be in a peptide of certain mass
Identification of a Phosphorylation-site
Further fragmentation of peptide in collision chamber
Second analysis with MS and comparison to databank will lead
to a shifted aa in the MS screen
