Surfactin is a mixture of cyclic lipopeptides built from variants of a heptapeptide and a ${\beta}-hydroxy$ fatty acid produced by several strains of Bacillus sp. Surfactin isoforms produced by endophytic Bacillus sp. CY22 from a balloon flower were isolated and characterized. It was found that the purified surfactin had three isoforms with protonated masses of m/z 1,008, 1,022, and 1,036, and different structures in combination with Na, K, Ca ions using MALDI-TOF MS, ESI-MS/MS, and ICP MS, respectively. In the MS/MS analysis, the isolated surfactin had the identical amino acid sequence (LLVDLL) and hydroxy fatty acids (with 13 to 15 carbons in length), even though isolated from different Bacillus strains. The sfp22 gene, required for producing the surfactin, consisted of an open reading frame (ORF) of 675 bp encoding 224 amino acid residues with a signal peptide of 20 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence of sfp22 was very similar to that of Ipa-8.

인삼 모상근의 프로테옴 분석에 의해 얻은 질량분석 스펙트럼 데이터는 MALDI/TOF/MS에서 얻는 질량 스펙트럼과 ESI/Q-TOF/MS에서 얻는 탄뎀 질량 스펙트럼으로 구분된다. 질량 스펙트럼은 단백질이 효소에 의해 분해된 펩타이드들의 분자량 정보를 제공하며, 탄뎀 질량 스펙트럼에서는 아미노산 단위로 분해된 절편 단백질의 분자량으로부터 아미노산 서열을 결과로 얻는다. 펩타이드의 아미노산 서열을 BLAST로 검색하면 유사한 단백질을 GenBank에서 검색할 수 있다. 이러한 단백질 동정 방법은 완전한 유전체 서열이 알려진 생물체의 경우 높은 정확도로 단백질을 동정할 수 있으나, 그렇지 않은 경우는 유사한 단백질이 데이터베이스에 존재하지 않아 분석이 용이하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 질량 스펙트럼 및 절편 단백질의 아미노산 서열을 EST (expressed sequence tag) 서열과 비교하여 프로테옴 데이터와 일치하는 EST 서열을 찾아내고 이를 BLAST검색에 의해 단백질 동정에 활용하였다. ESI/Q-TOF/MS 에서 얻은 아미노산 서열은 길이는 짧지만 데이터의 신뢰도가 높으므로 EST 서열과의 연관 관계를 밝힘으로써 단백질에 대한 정보를 보완할 수 있었다. ESI/Q-TOF/MS에서 얻은 펩타이드의 아미노산 서열을 EST 서열과 비교한 결과 90%의 아미노산 서열이 EST DB에서 발견되었다. NCBI의 nr 데이터베이스에서 아미노산 서열을 검색하여 찾은 단백질이 68%임에 비하여, 인삼 EST 서열에 의한 검색이 22% 더 많은 결과를 얻었다. MALDI/TOF/MS의 질량 스펙트럼에서 nr 데이터베이스로 검색한 결과와 인삼 EST 데이터베이스를 검색한 결과가 일치하는 경우는 47개 중 9개인 19%에 불과하여, 탄뎀 질량 분석으로 아미노산 서열을 얻지 않고, 단지 질량 스펙트럼으로부터 단백질을 동정하는 방법으로는 단백질 동정의 정확한 결과를 기대하기 어려움을 확인하였다.

가금 추백리와 밀접한 관계가 있는 단백질을 동정하기 위하여 인위적으로 추백리를 유도한 개체와 정상인 개체의 간에서 단백질을 추출하였으며, 2차원 전기영동(2DE)과 mass spectrometry(MS)를 이용하여 차등 발현되는 단백질을 조사하였다. 총 300여개의 단백질 spot들이 관찰되었으며, 이중 발현양에 현저한 차이를 보이는 spot을 MALDI-TOF MS와 protein database search를 통해 분석한 결과, 가금 APOAI (Apolipoprotein A1)으로 확인되었다. 추백리가 감염된 닭의 간에서 APOA1 단백질의 증가는 손상된 혈관의 재생과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 추백리의 감염 여부를 나타내 주는 Bio-marker로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

An extracellular protease was identified from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 by N-terminal sequencing and mass spectral analysis. The molecular mass of the extracellular protease was estimated to be 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Sequencing of the N-terminal of the protease revealed the sequence of A(G,S,R)QXVPYG(A)V(P,L)SQ. The N-terminal sequence exhibited close similarity to the sequence of other proteases from Bacillus sp. A mass list of the monoisotopic peaks in the MALDI-TOF spectrum was searched after peptide fragmentation of the protease. Six peptide sequences exhibiting monoisotopic masses of 1,276.61, 1,513.67, 1,652.81, 1,661.83, 1,252.61, and 1,033.46 were observed from the fragmented protease. These monisotopic masses corresponded to the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168, and the Mowse score was found to be 75. A doubly charged Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 exhibiting a molecular mass of 1034.6 was further analyzed by de novo sequencing using a PE Sciex QSTAR Hybrid Quadropole-TOF (MS/MS) mass spectrometer. MS/MS spectra of the Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 obtained from the fragmented peptide mixture of protease with Q-star contained the b-ion series of 114.2, 171.2, 286.2, 357.2, 504.2, 667.4, 830.1, and 887.1 and y-ion series of 147.5, 204.2, 367.2, 530.3, 677.4, 748.4, 863.4, and 920.5. The sequence of analyzed peptide ion was identified as LGDAFYYG from the b- and y-ion series by de novo sequencing and corresponded to the results from the MALDI-TOF spectrum. From these results the extracellular protease from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 was successfully identified with the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168.

Since the emergence of proteomics methods, many proteins specific for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been identified. Despite their usefulness for the specific diagnosis of RCC, such proteins do not provide spatial information on the diseased tissue. Therefore, the identification of cancer-specific proteins that include information on their specific location is needed. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) based imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has emerged as a new tool for the analysis of spatial distribution as well as identification of either proteins or small molecules in tissues. In this report, surgical tissue sections of papillary RCC were analyzed using MALDI-IMS. Statistical analysis revealed several discriminative cancer-specific m/z-species between normal and diseased tissues. Among these m/z-species, two particular proteins, S100A11 and ferritin light chain, which are specific for papillary RCC cancer regions, were successfully identified using LC-MS/MS following protein extraction from independent RCC samples. The expressions of S100A11 and ferritin light chain were further validated by immunohistochemistry of human tissues and tissue microarrays (TMAs) of RCC. In conclusion, MALDI-IMS followed by LC-MS/MS analysis in human tissue identified that S100A11 and ferritin light chain are differentially expressed proteins in papillary RCC cancer regions.

In this study, we measured the complex efficiency of a physiologically active antibody, a chelator and radiosiotopes using the ESI-TOF/Ms system for develop good radiopharmaceuticals. For a precise measurement, TLC is a low accuracy method. Loading of same amount of sample is difficult for each test, and work to quantify accurately the results obtained through TLC cannot be afforded compared to the use of other analytical instruments. The method of analysis using a mass spectrometer is capable of a mass analysis of proteins for quantitative analysis. The conjugates of the chelator (CHX-A- DTPA) and the antibody (IgG) were separated through MWCO, and were analyzed using ESI-TOF and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The analysis using MALDI-TOF is roughly divided into measurements on mass spectrometry. When conjugating a small molecular weight of CHX-A-DTPA and a large molecular weight of IgG, distinguishing the peak of the conjugate and the peak of IgG was difficult. However, an ESI-TOF mass spectrometer system is capable of an analysis of mass by decentralizing the IgG. It is utilized as a technique for measuring the metabolic processes during conjugation and the stability evaluation of radiopharmaceuticals. When establishing this technique, the accuracy of the overall radiophar-maceutical analysis is expected to be able to be improved.

Structural analyses of oligosaccharide-malononitrile derivatives were conducted by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization post-source decay (MALDI-PSD) analysis in positive ion mode. The malononitrile derivatives of oligosaccharides, which were developed for highly sensitive detection of multi-component oligosaccharides by negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS), were detected by positive-ion MALDI with the detection limit of 2 pmol level from the crude derivatization sample. The used matrix affected drastically the analytical results of oligosaccharide-malononitrile derivative by matrix-assisted laser desoprtion/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). The malononitrile derivatization of oligosaccharide also affect the patterns of MALDI-PSD spectra and give much more structural information than the free oligosaccharide.
