A new method for proteolytic stable isotope labeling is introduced to provide quantitative and concurrent comparisons between individual proteins from two entire proteome pools or their subfractions. Two 18O atoms are incorporated universally into the carboxyl termini of all tryptic peptides during cleavage in first pool. Proteins second pool cleaved analogously with resulting containing 16O (i.e., no labeling). The peptide mixtures pooled fractionation separation, masses ratios each pair...

This study characterizes various features of the proteins that are detected in MALDI mass spectra when whole bacteria cells analyzed, an effort to understand why some successfully and many others not. Forty peaks observed range 4000−20 000 Da Escherichia coli K-12 11775 tentatively assigned a protein database, these characterized by cell location, copy number, pI, hydropathicity. Those originate cytosol generally share traits high abundance within cell, strong bacisity, medium hydrophilicity.
A method for rapid identification of microorganisms is presented, which exploits the wealth information contained in prokaryotic genome and protein sequence databases.

The MN strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 was grown in H9 cells, concentrated by centrifugation, and disrupted, proteins were purified reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Complete amino acid sequences determined for the mature Gag proteins, showing natural proteolytic cleavage sites order (p17-p24-p2-p7-p1-p6) precursors. At least two sequence variants p24 eight p17 detected. most abundant represented at 50% +/- 5% 20% their totals, respectively. These data suggest...
We present a building-block approach toward functionalized CB[7] derivatives by the condensation of methylene-bridged glycoluril hexamer 1 and bis(cyclic ethers) 2 12. The Me2CB[7] CyCB[7] are highly soluble in water (264 mM 181 mM, respectively). As result high intrinsic solubility Me2CB[7], it is able to solubilize insoluble benzimidazole drug albendazole. reaction with derivative 12, which bears primary alkyl chloride group, gives 18 16% isolated yield. Compound reacts NaN3 yield...

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are present in most cancer patients where they inhibit natural anti-tumor immunity and an obstacle to anti-cancer immunotherapies. They mediate immune suppression through their production of proteins soluble mediators that prevent the activation tumor-reactive T lymphyocytes, polarize macrophages toward a tumor-promoting phenotype, facilitate angiogenesis. The accumulation suppressive potency MDSC is regulated by inflammation within tumor...
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are immature myeloid that accumulate in the circulation and tumor microenvironment of most cancer patients. There, MDSC suppress both adaptive innate immunity, hindering immunotherapies. The inflammatory milieu often present cancers facilitates suppressive activity, causing aggressive progression metastasis. from tumor-bearing mice release exosomes, which carry biologically active proteins mediate some immunosuppressive functions characteristic MDSC....
Proteolytic labeling in H218O has been recently revived as a versatile method for proteomics research. To understand the molecular basis of process, we have dissected process into two separate events: cleavage peptide amide bonds and exchange terminal carboxyl oxygens. It was demonstrated that both oxygens can be catalytically labeled, independent step. Reaction kinetics tryptic 16O-to-18O YGGFMR, YGGFMK, digest apomyoglobin were studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier...

A novel class of lipopeptides was isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki HD-1. Four compounds (1−4) were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography and their primary structures determined using a combination chemical reactions mass spectrometry. The four found to have the same amino acid sequence, Thr-Gly-Ala-Ser-His-Gln-Gln, but different fatty acids. acyl chain is linked N-terminal residue via an amide bond. Each lipopeptide has lactone linkage between carboxyl terminal...
Recently, proteolytic 18O labeling has been demonstrated as a promising strategy for comparative proteomic studies (Yao, X.; Freas, A.; Ramirez, J.; Demirev, P. Fenselau, C. Anal. Chem. 2001, 73, 2836−42). In this approach, protein mixtures are digested in parallel H216O and H218O the ratios of isotopically distinct peptide products measured by mass spectrometry. initial report from laboratory, trypsin was shown to catalyze incorporation two atoms into carboxyl terminus each new formed...
