Structural characterization of the molten globule state of apomyoglobin by limited proteolysis and HPLC-mass spectrometry.
A method to characterize the structural conformation of an acidic molten globule apomyoglobin (apoMb) at pH 4.2 was developed using limited proteolysis and HPLC-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Endoproteinase Glu-C, which has a double maximum activity at pH 4.0 and pH 7.8 toward glutamic acid (Glu), was used as a proteolytic enzyme. Using this method enabled us to compare the proteolytic cleavages ...
متن کاملA comparison of the folding characteristics of free and ribosome-tethered polypeptide chains using limited proteolysis and mass spectrometry
The kinetics and thermodynamics of protein folding are commonly studied in vitro by denaturing/renaturing intact protein sequences. How these folding mechanisms relate to de novo folding that occurs as the nascent polypeptide emerges from the ribosome is much less well understood. Here, we have employed limited proteolysis followed by mass spectrometry analyses to compare directly free and ribo...
متن کاملMass spectrometry in viral proteomics.
Mass spectrometry is a valuable tool in structural and functional viral proteomics, where it has been used to identify viral capsid proteins, viral mutants, and posttranslational modifications. Further, mass-based approaches combined with time-resolved proteolysis (mass mapping) have revealed the dynamic nature of viral particles in solution; this method is contributing to an understanding of t...
متن کاملProteolysis in mixed organic-aqueous solvent systems: applications for peptide mass mapping using mass spectrometry.
The rate of protein digestion imposes significant limitations on high-throughput protein identification using mass spectrometry. In this report, we demonstrate that proteins are readily digested by trypsin in the presence of organic solvents such as methanol, acetone, 2-propanol, and acetonitrile. The rates of protein digestion in organic solvents, as indicated by the abundances of digest fragm...
متن کاملIdentification of viral mutants by mass spectrometry.
A method to identify mutations of virus proteins by using protein mass mapping is described. Comparative mass mapping was applied to a structural protein of the human rhinovirus Cys1199 --> Tyr mutant and to genetically engineered mutants of tobacco mosaic virus. The information generated from this approach can rapidly identify the peptide or protein containing the mutation and, in cases when n...
