文摘
The goal of this study was to detect and quantify by MALDI-TOF MS the phosphorylation of a peptide containing the recognition motif of the Protein Kinase C (PKC). Such model peptide can be used as a phosphorylation probe to follow intracellular kinase/phosphatase activities. This study allowed us to establish relationships between sequence specificities and affinity for TiO2 or IMAC media. The peptide has the sequence biotin-GGGGCFRTPSFLKK-NH2 in which the serine residue can be phosphorylated. Enrichment of the corresponding phosphopeptide, by the dedicated IMAC and TiO2 affinity chromatography methods, proved inefficient. By combining MALDI-TOF and NMR data, we first showed that the lack of affinity of the phosphopeptide for TiO2 was partly related to the basic property of its peptide sequence. Furthermore, the peptide shows local structuration around the P9鈭?S10 segment, with formation of a salt bridge between the guanidinium group of the R7 side chain and the phosphate moiety. In conjunction with an inadequate position of the {biotin-G4} N-terminal tag, this local structure could shield the phosphate group, preventing interaction with TiO2. To improve TiO2 affinity, the peptide sequence was modified accordingly. The new sequences retained the biological properties while their enrichment by IMAC or TiO2 became possible.
