2011R-Mass Spectrometry Reviews-TANDEM MASS SPECTROMETRY STRATEGIES FOR PHOSPHOPROTEOME ANALYSIS

从生物化学原理的角度讲述了怎样将质谱应用于磷酸化蛋白质组学的研究，需要一张一张地看图，识别磷酸化修饰位点。这需要借助于高精度的质谱

磷酸化修饰最常见于 serine, threonine and tyrosine

The major goals of mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic analysis

(i) identify the presence of phosphorylated peptides,
(ii) determine the identity of phosphopeptides by their amino acid sequences,
(iii) localize the specific sites of phosphorylation, and
(iv) quantitatively determine any temporal dependence to the phosphorylation site occupancies, under the specific biological conditions from which the phosphoprotein
was isolated.

Multiple MS/MS dissociation methods have been used for the analysis of phosphopeptide precursor ions. Commonly applicable phosphopeptide precursor ion charge states (n) are specified for each MS/MS technique. Some techniques, namely CID-, PSD-, and IRMPD-MS/MS, may involve formation of nonsequence product ions that diagnostically indicate the presence of phosphorylated peptide ions (indicated with arrows connecting ‘‘MS/MS’’ methods to ‘‘diagnostic ions’’). Observation of these diagnostic product ions has also been used to trigger precursor ion activation by other MS/MS methods (i.e., ECD) or MS/MS activation of the resultant neutral loss product ion (e.g., MS3; indicated with arrows connecting ‘‘diagnostic ions’’ to ‘‘MS/MS’’ or ‘‘MS3’’ methods).

B:Negative ion mode precursor ion ESI-MS scan for m/z 79 of the LC–MS-fractionated material marked with an ‘‘*’’ in the chromatogram shown in panel A. The presence of five phosphopeptides, each marked with a unique symbol,
were identified in this fraction.
