Shotgun proteomics using the iTRAQ isobaric tags.

چکیده
Shotgun proteomic methods involving isobaric tagging of peptides enable high-throughput proteomic analysis. iTRAQ reagents allow simultaneous identification and quantitation of proteins in four different samples using tandem mass spectrometry (MS). In this article, we provide a brief description of proteome analysis using iTRAQ reagents and review the current applications of these reagents in proteomic studies. We also compare different aspects of protein identification including protein sequence coverage and proteome coverage obtained using iTRAQ reagents with those using other shotgun proteomic techniques. We briefly discuss the issue of isotope purity correction in measured peak areas during protein quantitation using iTRAQ reagents. Finally, we conclude with some of the current challenges in MS-based proteomic analysis that are limiting protein identifications obtained by different shotgun proteomic methods.

Peptide Labeling with Isobaric Tags Yields Higher Identification Rates Using iTRAQ 4-Plex Compared to TMT 6-Plex and iTRAQ 8-Plex on LTQ Orbitrap
Peptide labeling with isobaric tags has become a popular technique in quantitative shotgun proteomics. Using two different samples viz. a protein mixture and HeLa extracts, we show that three commercially available isobaric tags differ with regard to peptide identification rates: The number of identified proteins and peptides was largest with iTRAQ 4-plex, followed by TMT 6-plex, and smallest w...
متن کاملShotgun Identification of Structural Proteome of Shrimp White Spot Syndrome Virus and iTRAQ Differentiation of Envelope and Nucleocapsid Subproteomes
SUMMARY White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a major pathogen that causes severe mortality and economic losses to shrimp cultivation worldwide. The genome of WSSV contains a 305-kb double-stranded circular DNA, which encodes 181 predicted ORFs. Previous gel-based proteomic studies on WSSV have identified 38 structural proteins. In this study, we applied shotgun proteomics using offline coupling ...

Recent proteomic applications have demonstrated their potential for revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration. The present study quantifies cerebellar protein changes in mice that are deficient in plasma membrane calcium ATPase 2 (PMCA2), an essential neuronal pump that extrudes calcium from cells and is abundantly expressed in Purkinje neurons. PMCA2-null mice display mot...
