文摘

Protein radicals are implicated in oxidative stress and are associated with a wide range of diseases and disorders. In the present work, we describe the specific application of a newly synthesized nitrone spin trap, Bio-SS-DMPO, for the detection of these highly reactive species by mass spectrometry (MS). Bio-SS-DMPO is a biotinylated analogue of the spin-trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) that allows for specific capture of the protein(s)/peptide(s) labeled by the spin-trap on a (strept)avidin-bound solid matrix. The disulfide bond in the linker arm joining biotin to DMPO can be cleaved to release captured spin-adduct peptide from the solid matrix. This (strept)avidin-based affinity purification reduces the complexity of the samples prior to MS analyses, thereby facilitating the location of the sites of spin trap addition. In addition, the biotin moiety on the spin-trap can efficiently be probed with (strept)avidin-conjugated reporter. This offers an effective means to visualize the presence of DMPO-adducted proteins in intact cells.
