Comparison of 2-D LC and 3-D LC with post- and pre-tryptic-digestion SEC fractionation for proteome analysis of normal human liver tissue.
The current "shotgun" proteomic analysis, strong cation exchange-RPLC-MS/MS system, is a widely used method for proteome research. Currently, it is not suitable for complicated protein sample analysis, like mammal tissues or cells. To increase the protein identification confidence and number, an additional separation dimension for sample fractionation is necessary to be coupled prior to current multi-dimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). In this work, SEC was elaborately selected and applied for sample prefractionation in consideration of its non-bias against sample and variety of choice of mobile phases. The analysis of the global lysate of normal human liver tissue sample provided by the China Human Liver Proteome Project, were performed to compare the proteome coverage, sequence coverage (peptide per protein identification) and protein identification efficiency in MudPIT, 3-D LC-MS/MS identification strategy with preproteolytic and postproteolytic fractionation. It was demonstrated that 3-D LC-MS/MS utilizing protein level fractionation was the most effective method. A MASCOT search using the MS/MS results acquired by QSTAR(XL) identified 1622 proteins from 3-D LC-MS/MS identification approaches. A primary analysis on molecular weight, pI and grand average hydrophobicity value distribution of the identified proteins in different approaches was made to further evaluate the 3-D LC-MS/MS analysis strategy.
