title: Identification of a new gene product of PKIbeta by HPLC-ESIMS.
abstract: An identification method using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESIMS) has been developed to verify an expressed gene product of kinase inhibitor (PKIbeta). This protein was expressed in this university for the first time from a newly cloned gene in the cDNA library of human fetal brain. The measured MW (8468.9 Da) of PKIbeta-78 was consistent with expectations. The gene product of PKIbeta-78 was monitored by ESIMS to ensure there was no mis-expressed PKIbeta-70 in the process of gene engineering. The peptide mapping of PKIbeta-78 and its partial sequence were, furthermore, determined. By database searching based on the experimental MWs and partial sequences provided, it was verified that this gene product is a new protein. The pseudosubstrate site and leucine-rich site for the function region of PKIbeta-78 are also confirmed.
