Abstract
A model system for selective solubilization and fast separation of proteins from the rat liver membrane fraction and purified rat liver plasma membranes for their further proteomic analysis is presented. For selective solubilization, high-pH solutions and a concentrated urea solution, combined with different detergents, are used. After extraction, proteins are separated by anion-exchange chromatography or a combination of anion- and cation-exchange chromatography with convective interaction monolithic supports. This separation method enables fast and effective prefractionation of membrane proteins based on their hydrophobicity and charge prior to one-dimensional (1-D) and 2-D electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. By use of this sample preparation method, the less-abundant proteins can be detected and identified.

Abstract
Identification of multiple and novel posttranslational modifications remains a major challenge in proteomics. The present approach uses comparative analysis by matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI) MS of proteolytic digests from control and treated proteins to target differences due to modifications, without initial assumption as to type or residue localization. Differences between modified and unmodified digest MS spectra highlight peptides of interest for subsequent tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. Targeted HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS/MS is then used to fragment peptides, and manual de novo sequencing is used to determine the amino acid sequence and type of modification. This strategy for identifying posttranslational modifications in an unbiased manner is particularly useful for finding modifications produced by exogenous chemicals. Successful characterization of chemically induced posttranslational modifications and novel chemical adducts is given as an example of the use of this strategy. Histone H4 from butyrate-treated LLC-PK1 cells is separated on a gel into bands representing different overall charge state. Bands are analyzed by comparative MALDI-MS and LC-MS/MS to identify the sites of methylation and acetylation. Previous attempts to identify chemically adducted proteins in vivo have been unsuccessful in part due to a lack of understanding of the final adduct form. Cytochrome c is adducted in vitro with benzoquinone, an electrophilic metabolite of benzene capable of interacting with nucleophilic sites within proteins. De novo sequencing identifies a novel cyclized diquinone adduct species as the major reaction product, targeting Lys and His residues at two specific locations on the protein surface. This unpredicted reaction product is characterized using our unbiased methods for detection and demonstrates the important influence of protein structure on chemical adduction.

Abstract
In the last few years there has been an increased effort to develop technologies capable of identifying and quantifying large numbers of proteins expressed within a cell system (i.e., the proteome). The complexity of the mixtures being analyzed has made the development of effective fractionation and separation methods a critical component of this effort. This review highlights many of the protein and peptide fractionation and separation methods, such as electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which have experienced significant development over the past forty years. Modern instrumental strategies for the resolution of cell proteins, based on separations employing a single high-resolution or multidimensional approach, and the relative merits of each, will be discussed. The focus of this manuscript will be on the development of multidimensional separations such as two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), HPLC/HPLC, and HPLC-capillary electrophoresis and their application to the characterization of complex proteome mixtures.

Abstract
In the last few years there has been an increased effort into the separation, quantification and identification of all proteins in a cell or tissue. This is a review of the role gel electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE) play in proteomics research. The capabilities and limitations of each separation technique have been pointed out. Instrumental strategies for the resolution of cell proteins which are based on efficient separation employing either a single high-resolution procedure or a multidimensional approach on-line or off-line, and a mass spectrometer for protein identification have been reviewed. A comparison of the advantages of multi-dimensional separations such as two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, HPLC-HPLC, and HPLC-CE to the separation of cell and tissue proteins are discussed. Also, a discussion of novel approaches to protein concentration, separation, detection, and quantification is given.

Abstract
This paper describes a procedure in which cysteine containing peptides from tryptic digests of complex protein mixtures were selected by covalent chromatography based on thiol-disulfide exchange. identified by mass spectrometry, and quantified by differential isotope labeling. Following disruption of disulfide bridges with 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide, all proteins were digested with trypsin and acylated with succinic anhydride. Cysteine containing peptides were then selected from the acylated digest by disulfide interchange with sulfhydryl groups on a thiopropyl Sepharose gel. Captured cysteine containing peptides were released from the gel with 25 mM dithiothreitol (pH 7.5) containing 1 mM (ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid disodium salt and alkylated with iodoacetic acid subsequent to fractionation by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Fractions collected from the RPLC column were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry. Based on isotope ratios of peptides from experimental and control samples labeled with succinic and deuterated succinic anhydride, respectively, it was possible to determine the relative concentration of each peptide species between the two samples. Peptides obtained from proteins that were up-regulated in the experimental sample were easily identified by an increase of the relative amount of the deuterated peptide. The results of these studies indicate that by selecting cysteine containing peptides, the complexity of protein digest could be reduced and database searches greatly simplified. When coupled with the isotope labeling strategy for quantification it was possible to determine proteins that were up-regulated in plasmid bearing Escherichia coli when expression of plasmid proteins was induced. Up-regulation of several proteins of E. coli origin was also noted.

Abstract
This review describes the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to carbohydrate analysis and covers the period 1991-1998. The technique is particularly valuable for carbohydrates because it enables underivatised, as well as derivatised compounds to be examined. The various MALDI matrices that have been used for carbohydrate analysis are described, and the use of derivatization for improving mass spectral detection limits is also discussed. Methods for sample preparation and for extracting carbohydrates from biological media prior to mass spectrometric analysis are compared with emphasis on highly sensitive mass spectrometric methods. Quantitative aspects of MALDI are covered with respect to the relationship between signal strength and both mass and compound structure. The value of mass measurements by MALDI to provide a carbohydrate composition is stressed, together with the ability of the technique to provide fragmentation spectra. The use of in-source and post-source decay and collision-induced fragmentation in this context is described with emphasis on ions that provide information on the linkage and branching patterns of carbohydrates. The use of MALDI mass spectrometry, linked with exoglycosidase sequencing, is described for N-linked glycans derived from glycoproteins, and methods for the analysis of O-linked glycans are also covered. The review ends with a description of various applications of the technique to carbohydrates found as constituents of glycoproteins, bacterial glycolipids, sphingolipids, and glycolipid anchors.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was combined on-line with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for structural analysis of a synthetic osteocalcin derivative and its degradation products. Initial determination of amino acid sequence of the synthetic peptide was performed after tryptic degradation. Hydrolytic degradation of the osteocalcin derivative was studied under different pH conditions: pH 2, pH 7 and pH 10 at 60 degrees C up to 20 h. According the HPLC-ESI-MS results, the chemical stability was dependent on pH. Two major degradation products and a number of other fragments were obtained in acidic solution, whereas the osteocalcin molecule was rather stable in neutral and alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Neurolin is a growth-associated cell surface glycoprotein from goldfish and zebra fish which has been shown to be involved in axonal path-finding in the goldfish retina and suggested to function as a receptor for axon guidance molecules. Being a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion proteins, neurolin consists of five N-terminal extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a transmembrane and a short cytoplasmatic domain. Repeated injections of polyclonal Fab fragments against neurolin and of monoclonal antibodies against either Ig domains cause path-finding errors and disturbance of axonal fasciculation. In order to obtain a complete structural characterization and a molecular basis for structure-function determination, recombinant neurolin with the complete extracellular part but lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmatic domain was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (CHO-neurolin). The isolation of CHO-neurolin was carried out by Ni-affinity chromatography and subsequent high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An exact molecular mass determination was obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI/MS) and revealed 60.9 kDa, which suggested that approximately 10 kDa are due to glycosylation. The predicted molecular mass is 51.5 kDa, whereas sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) yielded an apparent molecular mass of 72 kDa. Gel shift assays using SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis with anti-neurolin antibodies provided consistent molecular mass data. The complete primary structure and N-glycosylation patterns were identified using specific lectin assays, MALDI/MS peptide mapping analysis by proteolytic and in-gel digestion, electrospray ionization MS and MALDI/MS in combination with specific glycosidase degradation. HPLC isolation of glycosylated peptide fragments and MS after selective deglycosylation revealed heterogeneous glycosylations at all five N-glycosylation consensus sites. All attached N-glycans are of the complex type and show a mainly biantennary structure; they are fucosylated with alpha(2,3)-terminal neuraminic acid. These data serve as a first detailed model to characterize the molecular recognition structures exhibited by the extracellular domains.

Abstract
A chromatographic method was developed for quantitative analysis of site-specific microheterogeneity of the two N-linked glycosylation sites in recombinant human interferon-gamma produced from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture. After the interferon-gamma was harvested by affinity chromatography, the tryptic digestion was carried out. The two glycopeptide pools, isolated from reversed-phase chromatography of tryptic digestion of interferon-gamma, were subjected to further separation by hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Each peak in the chromatograms was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The overall elution order of the glycopeptides was the following: neutral glycopeptides, monosialylated glycopeptides, bisialylated glycopeptides, trisialylated glycopeptide and tetrasialylated glycopeptides. Based on the integrated peak area for each compound in the chromatograms, the percentage for each glycan was utilized to quantify the glycosylation pattern of the interferon-gamma. Finally, sialylation and antennarity structure percentages at the two glycosylation sites were chosen as the quality indicators in process monitoring of interferon-gamma production from a serum-free suspension-batch CHO culture.

Abstract
An automated tryptic mapping method was developed for characterization of disulfide linkages in recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). The hormone was trypsin digested and the peptide fragments concentrated by eluting rhGH through an immobilized trypsin column and transferring the peptides directly to a reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) column where they were collected. Reaction time was controlled by the flow-rate. Following tryptic digestion of a sample, the immobilized enzyme column was uncoupled from the flow train by a switching valve and the RP-LC column eluted with a solvent gradient ranging from 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) with 1% acetonitrile (ACN) to ACN with 0.1% TFA and 5% water. This two-step mapping process was achieved within 2 h on both native and reduced rhGH samples. The chromatographic elution position and mass spectra matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry of native rhGH and sulfur-containing peptides were determined with standards. Standards of the individual sulfhydryl (-SH) containing peptides and all possible disulfide linked peptides that could result from coupling the -SH peptides in disulfide linkages were obtained by synthesis and chromatographic purification. This approach allowed the chromatographic elution position of all possible mismatched disulfide containing peptides to be established and samples of rhGH to be examined for improper folding.

Abstract
The release of sub-picomole levels of N-linked oligosaccharides directly from 1-5 micrograms of protein in a band on an SDS PAGE gel, coupled with recent advances in mass spectrometry and HPLC, opens the way for the analysis of biologically important glycoproteins that are difficult to purify or are available only in limited amounts. A straightforward HPLC strategy enables the structures of both neutral and sialylated components of the N-glycan pool to be predicted from a single run. The entire pool of sugars may then be sequenced simultaneously, using exoglycosidase arrays.

Abstract
Preparative two-dimensional polyacrylamide electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) is a method of separation which for the first time allows protein isoforms to be readily purified for subsequent analysis. The profile of the 2-D separation of the protein complement (proteome) of eukaryotic cells and tissues typically contains obvious 'trains' of spots which differ in pI and/or apparent molecular mass. These are usually isoforms of the same protein and result from post-translational modifications. There is growing evidence that alterations to the glycosylation and/or phosphorylation of a protein can be correlated with developmental and pathological changes; these changes can be visualised on the 2-D separation. It is not clear, however, how these modifications alter the structural properties of the protein and affect their migration in this mode of separation. Strategies need to be developed to obtain a more detailed understanding of the reason for the appearance of isoforms as discrete spots on 2-D PAGE. Standard proteins, fetuin and ovalbumin, were used to monitor the effect of the removal of glycans and phosphates on the migration of the glycoproteins in the 2-D system. The isoforms were not simply explained by the presence or absence of a single modification. To further investigate the reasons for the different migration of the isoforms it is necessary to characterise the modifications in more detail. Unlike protein analysis, until recently the available methodology for the analysis of the glycans attached to proteins has not been sensitive enough to allow analysis of single spots in gels or blots resulting from 2-D electrophoresis. In this paper we review current and future strategies for characterisation of protein modifications using single spots from 2-D gels.

Abstract
This paper describes the analysis of glycoform populations of the glycoproteins ovalbumin and Desmodus salivary plasminogen activator (DSPA alpha 1) by a combination of capillary electrophoresis (CE) and off-line matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Ovalbumin has a single N-linked glycosylation site and DSPA alpha 1 has six sites for potential glycosylation, 2 N-linked and four O-linked. The conditions used for the electrophoretic separation of ovalbumin include a borate buffer system, together with a diamine additive such as 1,4-diaminobutane (DAB). An electropherogram of DSPA glycoforms could be obtained at pH 3.0 (phosphate buffer) using a bovine serum albumin (BSA) coated capillary. Fraction collection was performed by controlled application of pressure [5000 Pa (50 mbar)] for zone elution and MALDI-TOF-MS was performed on samples prepared by a 1:1 dilution with the UV absorbing matrix sinapinic acid. Both electrophoretic separations were successfully characterized by good quality mass spectra and distinct mass trends were observed for the collected fractions. It is likely that each of the collected fractions are still mixtures of glycoforms and explanation of relative mobilities or masses of different fractions is not possible at this stage. The ability to perform rapid off-line MALDI-TOF-MS of fractions from complex electropherograms will be a powerful tool to demonstrate product consistency in the manufacture of glycoprotein pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Preliminary results are presented using a combination of affinity chromatography, reversed-phase HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to produced peptide maps for N-linked, O-linked and non-glycosylated peptides from an endoproteinase LysC digest of DSPA alpha 1, a recombinant DNA derived glycoprotein. Although the system was used to identify a number of major N-linked structures, notably complex biantennary structures attached to asparagine 362, no O-linked glycopeptides from the possible 4 attachment sites were identified. The system did, however, demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and the applicability of the instrumental system.
