| Popis: | Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become the most utilized tool to characterize histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). Since histones are highly enriched in lysine and arginine residues, lysine derivatization has been developed to prevent the generation of short peptides (3-6 residues) during trypsin digestion. One of the most adopted protocols applies propionic anhydride for derivatization. However, the propionyl group is not sufficiently hydrophobic to fully retain the shortest histone peptides in reversed-phase liquid chromatography, and such procedure also hampers the discovery of natural propionylation events. In this work we tested 12 commercially available anhydrides, selected based on their safety and hydrophobicity. Performance was evaluated in terms of yield of the reaction, MS/MS fragmentation efficiency and drift in retention time by using the following samples: (i) a synthetic unmodified histone H3 tail, (ii) synthetic modified histone peptides and (iii) a histone extract from cell lysate. Results highlighted that 7 of the selected anhydrides increased peptide retention time as compared to propionic, and several anhydrides such as benzoic and valeric led to high MS/MS spectra quality. However, propionic anhydride derivatization still resulted in our opinion as the best protocol to achieve high MS sensitivity and more even ionization efficiency among the analyzed peptides. |
