The protocol here describes the nitropeptide enrichment and profiling. Using Angiotensin II as the model peptide, we illustrated the procedure shown in Figure 1. After obtaining the nitro-Angiotensin II, the primary amine on the peptide should be blocked to avoid the further amine conjugation, which is one of the most critical steps within the protocol. In the current protocol, dimethyl labeling is used to block the primary amines for two reasons: first, it enables the acquisition of quantit...

Nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins to form 3-nitrotyrosine regulates many biological processes. Due to the different chemical properties between tyrosine and 3-nitrotyrosine, a nitrated protein may have perturbed signaling activity1,2. Therefore, it is important to develop methods that can enrich and identify nitration sites on proteins efficiently. As 3-nitrotyrosine is a low abundance modification on proteins compared to other forms of PTM, such as phosphorylation and acetylation, it is challenging to identify endogenous nitration sites directly from cell lines or tissue samples. Nevertheless, the methodology of using mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize the fragmentation pattern of nitrotpeptide has been developed (for example, Zhan &#38; Desiderio3), which lays the foundation for new methods of nitroproteomics.&#160;
Currently, an enrichment step followed by MS is the most powerful strategy for nitropeptide profiling4,5. The enrichment methods can be classified into two classes. One class is based on antibodies that can recognize 3-nitrotyrosine specifically, whereas the other class is based on the chemical derivation that reduces a nitro group to an amine group4,5. For the antibody-based method, nitrotyrosine affinity column is used for the enrichment, from which the eluted material is further resolved and analyzed by high resolution MS6,7. For the chemical derivation-based method, the amine groups at the N-terminus of the peptide or lysine should be blocked in the first step either by acetylation, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), or tandem mass tags (TMT) reagents. Next, a reducer is used to reduce nitrotyrosine to aminotyrosine followed by modifying the newly formed amine group, which includes biotin ligation, sulphydryl peptide conversion, or other types of tagging systems8,9,10,11. Most of the protocols established so far are based on in vitro over-nitrated proteins, instead of endogenously nitrated proteins.
In the present study, a modified procedure of the chemical derivation of nitrotyrosine is developed for the nitropeptide enrichment and identification, which shows enhanced sensitivity during MS detection and is suitable for quantification purpose. Our recent study employing this method in biological systems identified that nitration of lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) at Tyr394 by RNS produced from myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) plays an important role in the immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment12. Therefore, our method of nitropeptide identification can be applied to complex biological samples as well. Here, we describe our protocol by using the model peptide Angiotensin II, of which the fragmentation pattern is known and widely used in nitroproteomic studies8,9,10,11, as an example.

nitropeptide profiling and identification illustrated by angiotensin ii

Protein nitration is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTM) on tyrosine residues and it can be induced by chemical actions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in eukaryotic cells. Precise identification of nitration sites on proteins is crucial for understanding the physiological and pathological processes related to protein nitration, such as inflammation, aging, and cancer. Since the nitrated proteins are of low abundance in cells even under induced conditions, no universal and efficient methods have been developed for the profiling and identification of protein nitration sites. Here we describe a protocol for nitropeptide enrichment by using a chemical reduction reaction and biotin labeling, followed by high resolution mass spectrometry. In our method, nitropeptide derivatives can be identified with high accuracy. Our method exhibits two advantages compared to the previously reported methods. First, dimethyl labeling is used to block the primary amine on nitropeptides, which can be used to generate quantitative results. Second, a disulfide bond containing NHS-biotin reagent is used for the enrichment, which can be further reduced and alkylated to enhance the detection signal on a mass spectrometer. This protocol has been successfully applied to the model peptide Angiotensin II in the current paper.

The flowchart for nitropeptide profiling in this manuscript is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2, 3, 4 and 5 show the mass spectra of Angiotensin II, nitro-Angiotensin II, dimethyl labeled nitro-Angiotensin II and dimethyl labeled amino Angiotensin II, respectively. The molecular weight of the compound can be reflected by the m/z values of the mono-isotope peak in each figure, indicating the chemical modification on A...
