Zusammenfassung:Protein carbonylation is a common oxidative stress (OS)-driven post-translational modification (PTM). Proteome-wide carbonylation events can best be characterized using a combination of analytical approaches. Immunoblotting of carbonylated proteins provides data on the extent of modifications within complex samples, as well as a broad comparison of carbonylation profiles between different biological states (e.g., disease versus control), while mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis provides information on proteins susceptible to carbonylation, as well as the potential for quantitative characterization of specific sites of amino acid modification. Here, we present a novel use for aminoxyTMT, a derivative of the Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) isobaric labeling reagent, which utilizes an aminooxy functional group for covalent labeling of reactive carbonyls in proteins. When coupled with anti-TMT antibody, we demonstrate the use of aminoxyTMT for immunoblot profiling of protein carbonylation in complex mixtures, as well as enrichment of modified peptides from these mixtures. Proof-of-principle experiments also show the amenability of aminoxyTMT-labeled carbonylated peptides enriched from complex mixtures to identification using tandem MS (MS/MS) and database searching, as well as quantitative analysis using TMT-based reporter ion intensity measurements
