Selective Enrichment of Histidine Phosphorylated Peptides Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Protein histidine phosphorylation (pHis) is involved in molecular signaling networks in bacteria, fungi, plants, and higher eukaryotes including mammals and is implicated in human diseases such as cancer. Detailed investigations of the pHis modification are hampered due to its acid-labile nature and consequent lack of tools to study this post-translational modification (PTM). We here demonstrate three molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based reagents, MIP1-MIP3, for enrichment of pHis peptides and subsequent characterization by chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The combination of MIP1 and β-elimination provided some selectivity for improved detection of pHis peptides. MIP2 was amenable to larger pHis peptides, although with poor selectivity. Microsphere-based MIP3 exhibited improved selectivity and was amenable to enrichment and detection by LC-MS of pHis peptides in tryptic digests of protein mixtures. These MIP protocols do not involve any acidic solvents during sample preparation and enrichment, thus preserving the pHis modification. The presented proof-of-concept results will lead to new protocols for highly selective enrichment of labile protein phosphorylations using molecularly imprinted materials.

Project description:The application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as molecular scavengers for ambient plasma ionization mass spectrometry has been reported for the first time. MIPs were synthesized using methacrylic acid as functional monomer; nicotine, propyphenazone, or methylparaben as templates; ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker; and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as polymerization initiator. To perform ambient plasma ionization experiments, a setup consisting of the heated crucible, a flowing atmospheric-pressure afterglow (FAPA) plasma ion source, and a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer has been used. The heated crucible with programmable temperature allows for desorption of the analytes from MIPs structure which results in their direct introduction into the ion stream. Limits of detection, linearity of the proposed analytical procedure, and selectivities have been determined for three analytes: nicotine, propyphenazone, and methylparaben. The analytes used were chosen from various classes of organic compounds to show the feasibility of the analytical procedure. The limits of detections (LODs) were 10 nM, 10, and 0.5 μM for nicotine, propyphenazone, and methylparaben, respectively. In comparison with the measurements performed for the non-imprinted polymers, the values of LODs were improved for at least one order of magnitude due to preconcentration of the sample and reduction of background noise, contributing to signal suppression. The described procedure has shown linearity in a broad range of concentrations. The overall time of single analysis is short and requires ca. 5 min. The developed technique was applied for the determination of nicotine, propyphenazone, and methylparaben in spiked real-life samples, with recovery of 94.6-98.4%. The proposed method is rapid, sensitive, and accurate which provides a new option for the detection of small organic compounds in various samples.
