<strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 31 st European Peptide SymposiumMichal Lebl, Morten Meldal, Knud J. Jensen, Thomas Hoeg-Jensen (Editors)European Peptide Society, 2010The Top-Down Analysis of Chemical Modification of Ubiquitinby ECD MethodPiotr Stefanowicz, Karolina Kowalewska, Monika Kijewska,Alicja Kluczyk, Marek Cebrat, and Zbigniew SzewczukUniversity of Wrocław, Wrocław, 50-137, PolandIntroductionThe ECD (electron-capture dissociation) is a method of choice for top-down analysis ofproteins and large polypeptides. In contrast to CID (collision-induced dissociation)fragmentation method, ECD preserves labile posttranslational modifications. Weinvestigated the nonspecific chemical modification of ubiquitin by ECD method. Theprotein was subjected for glycation [1] and N-phosphorylation [2]. Although thesemodifications are unstable in gas phase during CID experiments, the ECD fragmentation ofglycated and N-phosphorylated peptides provided high sequence coverage. The reactivityof ubiquitin toward glucose [3] and phosphoramidate [2] was investigated. The glycationlevel of lysine moieties as well as N-phosphorylation of histidine residues in ubiquitin wasinvestigated on the intact, chemically modified protein.Results and DiscussionThe high temperature glycation of ubiquitin was performed according to procedurepublished recently by us [3]. The N-phosphorylation of ubiquitin was performed using aA10010+884.98011+808.6311009+988.089RELATIVE ABUNDANCE (%)10+856.97011+844.09911+846.64710+7+7+10+852.569862.614873.175866.75410+889.380RELATIVE ABUNDANCE (%)9+983.1997+3+7+947.8529+973.091996.3858+957.63124+6+ 932.3723+ 1011.0478+922.3391001.8691029.80000840 850 860 870 8800920 940 960 980 1000 1020B600 700 800 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 1400m/z10+1+100390.227RELATIVE ABUNDANCE (%)2+434.2981+1+636.37442+768.487537.3012+693.4042+3+721.077568.8460400 500 600 700865.4999+961.5588+1001081.632RELATIVE ABUNDANCE (%)8+1047.2387+1012.7231+1136.7027+2+1112.2077+1175.6991196.8490 1000 1040 1080 1120 1160400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600m/zFig. 1.
