Enrichment strategy of protein N-termini based on dioctyl labeling
2017
The analysis of protein N-termini provides valuable
information for protein structure and function annotation, and helps
the profiling of proteases substrates and cleavage sites. However,
most of the current N-terminal enrichment approaches involve multiple
chromatographic separation processes and require a large amount of
scavenger materials, which make it time and labor consuming and may
induce significant sample loss. Herein, we develop a negative N-termini
enrichment strategy based on dioctyl labeling. With yeast lysate digests
as the sample, the strategy showed a high efficiency in dioctyl labeling
and retention shift. Such a strategy was applied for the enrichment
of N-terminal peptides from yeast cell lysates and enabled the identification
of 237 original N-termini and 133 neo-N-termini, which was improved
by 100% and 480% compared with direct analysis. Furthermore, with
the combination of multi-proteases digestion, the number of protein
N-termini and neo-N-termin was improved by 50% and 90%, respectively,
facilitating the in-depth N-terminome analysis.
