Studying noncovalent protein complexes by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry has been used to study protein interactions driven by noncovalent forces. The gentleness of the electrospray ionization process allows intact protein complexes to be directly detected by mass spectrometry. Evidence from the growing body of literature suggests that the ESI-MS observations for these weakly bound systems reflect, to some extent, the nature...
متن کاملAdvantages and drawbacks of nanospray for studying noncovalent protein-DNA complexes by mass spectrometry.
The noncovalent complexes between the BlaI protein dimer (wild-type and GM2 mutant) and its double-stranded DNA operator were studied by nanospray mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Reproducibility problems in the nanospray single-stage mass spectra are emphasized. The relative intensities depend greatly on the shape of the capillary tip and on the capillary-cone distance. ...
متن کاملA search for peroxisomal membrane protein complexes by BN- PAGE, Mass Spectrometry and Electron Microscopy
In the last decades many of the Pex proteins, involved in protein transport over the peroxisomal membrane, have been genetically and biochemically characterized in detail and models of their interactions have been proposed. However, the models are not based on direct structural studies, such as single particle electron microscopy, which means that there are still many unsolved problems related ...
متن کاملDynamic protein complexes: insights from mass spectrometry.
The recent sequencing of the human genome has revealed that the human cell contains only twice the number of genes as the worm or fly (1). This implies that the regulation of gene products as well as their interactions accounts for the increased biological complexity of higher organisms. Consequently to exploit the wealth of information provided by genome sequencing it is essential to be able t...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of plant protein complexes by mass spectrometry.
The components that enable cells and organisms to fulfill a plethora of chemical and physical reactions, including their ability to metabolize, replicate, repair and communicate with their environment are mostly based on the functioning of highly complex cellular machines which are to a large extent composed of proteins. With the development of MS techniques compatible with the analysis of minu...
