The relative abundance of proteins present in the wild type versus mutant yeast cells is reported and the use of this approach for the quantification of phosphorylation sites of the protein Ste20 is described.

Electrophoresis. 22:2001;1652-1658 This study used isotopically enriched media for labeling the proteome of a microorganism and FT-ICR MS for the identification and quantification of the total cell lysate tryptic digest. The same approach was also used for the quantification of intact proteins that were separated by capillary isoelectrofocusing before analysis by FT-ICR.

Proteomics. 2:2002;513-523 Deinococcus radiodurans cells were grown in isotopically enriched media for quantitation. For each identified protein, an accurate mass tag AMT is generated by MS-MS (using an LCQ or FT-ICR instrument) and used for a later high-throughput identification using a single-stage MS. In this study, several proteins were identified and quantified from the tryptic digest of the whole cell lysate.

15. 15N -enriched media and labeling cysteines with an affinity tag for purification of cysteine-containing peptides is described. The cysteine-containing peptides were analysed by LC-FT-ICR MS. They showed that this approach can be used for bacterial cultures as well as mammalian cultures.
16. 15N -enriched media. These two cultures were mixed and the proteins extracted from the whole cell lysate were digested with trypsin. This complex peptide mixture is first separated by multidimensional LC and then analysed using an LCQ instrument. The identification of more than 800 proteins in a single experiment indicates the great potential of this approach for high-throughput quantitative proteomics.
17. 15N -enriched media. The advantage of this approach is that the use of isotopically labeled leucine is more suitable to cells of mammalian origin. Although it seems to be of general use for culture cells it could not be applied to body fluids or tissues.

However the affinity purification and therefore the affinity tags are not needed in this kind of experiment and other, simpler procedures would be more suitable.

Chem. 72:2000;4047-4057 Complex protein mixtures were separated by 2D- or 1D-PAGE and the spots to be identified/quantified were selected from two gels (e.g. treated and control). The proteins were succinilated with a heavy (D4) or light (D0) reagent before digestion with Asp/Glu-C. The conditions for succinilation of the lysine were improved and optimized to avoid secondary unwanted reactions. An added benefit of this procedure is that the labeling of the N-terminus facilitates de novo sequencing because the b-ion intensities are greatly increased. Although this approach has several advantages, it does not overcome the issue of reproducibility that is inherent to 2DE.

Chem. 73:2001;5142-5149 In this study, the elution times between the heavy and the light forms of acetylated peptides are compared with the retention time of peptides modified with ICAT reagents. Acetylated peptides co-elute independently from the label, whereas the light and heavy forms of the ICAT-modified peptides have different retention times.

A. 949:2002;153-162 The novelty of this procedure is that a purification step for isolating cysteine- and/or histidine-containing peptides is used. The quantification procedure is the same as previously described for succinic anhydride. The approach seems reasonable, although the copper affinity column might not be exclusively selecting for histidine-containing peptides.

Lysine guanidination, previously employed to facilitate sequencing by post-source decay (PSD), was used to facilitate sequencing by LC-MS/MS. The comparison of the isotopic distribution of unlabeled peptides with guanidinilated peptides was used for relative quantitation of yeast proteins. Although the average errors are within 25%, some peptides have errors as big as 62%, perhaps due to changes in ionization between lysine and guanidil-lysine.

However, using the described method, O-glycosylation sites would be also labeled and the procedure for avoiding the labeling of these sites has not been developed.
