چکیده

In this report, the effectiveness of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in conjunction with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is examined as a tool for identifying the sites of crosslinking in a protein that has been photoreacted with a non-photolabeled oligonucleotide. ESI-MS and MALDI-MS analyses preceded by off-line microflow and nanoflow HPLC, on-line microflow HPLC/ESI, and on-line nanoflow HPLC/ESI interfaces were performed in order to determine their relative effectiveness in separating mixtures of nucleopeptides and identifying sites of crosslinking on the individual components. The characteristics of these four techniques as well as possibilities for improving the analysis of nucleopeptides by ESI-MS are compared and discussed.

Enrichment of protein-RNA crosslinks from crude UV-irradiated mixtures for MS analysis by on-line chromatography using titanium dioxide columns.

UV crosslinking is an appropriate method to identify proteins that directly contact nucleic acid, e.g., RNA. In combination with modern mass spectrometric (MS) analysis such an approach provides the opportunity to reveal not only the nature of the crosslinked proteins but also to identify the actual crosslinking sites between the protein and the nucleic acid. However, the relatively low yield i...
