MtoZ Biolabs Developed Acetyl-proteomics Analysis Platform

MtoZ Biolabs, a biotech-company specialized in quantitative proteomics and metabolomics services, developed acetyl-proteomics analysis platform based on Thermo Fisher's Q ExactiveHF mass spectrometry platform, Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometry platform, Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometry platform and Nano-LC.

Acetylation is a highly conserved, reversible protein modification in vivo that plays an important role in the activation of transcriptional regulators in the nucleus. In addition, a large number of non-histone acetylation modifications are involved in the regulation of metabolic pathways and metabolic enzyme activities.

Due to the low content and wide dynamic range of acetylated proteins in biological samples, the acetylated peptides need to be enriched to improve their abundance before mass spectrometry, and then the enriched acetylated groups are obtained by traditional quantitative proteomics analysis. The peptide samples are subjected to quantitative analysis. MtoZ Biolabs uses peptide pre-separation to reduce the effect of high-abundance histones on protein acetylation identification, and then combines immunoprecipitation with high-efficiency antibody-enriched acetylated peptides to identify and quantify large-scale acetylation. The selected kit is an internationally accepted acetylated peptide-specific enrichment kit supplied by CST. In order to identify and quantify more acetylated peptides, they use 2-3 different enzymes to digest the protein samples during the digestion process, ensuring that the peptides with acetylation sites can entered into the mass spectrometer for analysis with the way of high-efficiency ionization to eliminate the loss of acetylation information due to the inappropriate peptide length and low ionization efficiency.

Thermo Fisher's Q ExactiveHF mass spectrometry platform, Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometry platform, Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometry platform and Nano-LC are used by MtoZ Biolabs to launch the acetylated quantitative proteome analysis service. Researchers only need to tell them the purpose of their experiment, and send out the samples. The company will be responsible for all subsequent matters of the project, including protein extraction, protease digestion, acetylation peptide enrichment, peptide separation, mass spectrometry, mass spectrometry analysis, and bioinformatics analysis.

Practice of N-terminal Sequencing by Edman Degradation Technology in Protein and Peptide Sequence Analysis

Image
The N-terminal amino acid sequence of protein is one of the key quality attributes of biological drugs. N-terminal sequencing by Edman degradation  is a routine method to analyze this property. The analysis of 15 amino acid sequences on the N-terminal by Edman degradation method is usually a necessary item when applying for biological drugs . At  the same time, it is also an annual inspection item of many listed biological drugs (see Pharmacopoeia 2015). In scientific research, N-terminal sequencing can be used to provide key information for the confirmation of unknown or uncertain theoretical sequences. So this method is widely used in scientific research and industry.  W hat are its principles ? H ow to analyze the results ? Advice for sample delivery? P rinciples In short, we can understand it from these two aspects: The first step  is Edman degradation . T hrough the reaction of PITC (Phenylisothiocyanate), an organic reagent, and α - amino acid at the N-terminal of pr

Part I: Basic Knowledge of Quantitative Analysis of Protein Acetylation Modification

Image
After the protein is translated in the cell, it is processed through a very important step before being transported to the corresponding organelle and undergoing specific biological effects. The role of protein   post-translational modification   ( PTM ) is primarily to alter the activity, localization or function of the protein. Protein PTM  also further increases the diversity and complexity of cellular pathway mechanisms and life activities. Except for acetylation , c ommon protein PTM  include s   phosphorylation , glycosylation , ubiquitination , and the like. Protein  A cetylation  M odification Protein acetylation modification, as the name suggests, refers to the grafting of acetylated groups on the original basis of the protein. In cells, the acetylation modification reaction is catalyzed by an acetyltransferase, and the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA is transferred and added to the protein lysine residue. In earlier studies, acetylation has been considered to be a pos

De Novo Protein Sequencing Procedures and Features

Image
The sequence of a protein molecule is the basis for the function of a protein. Accurate determinat ion of protein sequence plays an important role in the study of protein functional epitopes, detection of commercial monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and kits. Although there are many studies on protein sequencing, accurate sequencing of proteins is still not as fast and accurate as that of DNA. Protein sequencing is mainly hampered by the purification of protein samples, and the complexity of factors that make up the amino acid com position of proteins. De novo   protein sequencing  is  also called novel protein sequencing. This technique deduces t he amino acid sequence based on the difference in mass between a series of regular fragment ions generated by the peptide collision with an inert gas. We can guess the amino acid sequence and post-translational modifications based on the y ion and b ion at the cleavage of the peptide bond. De novo  sequencing has a unique advantage that t
