Abstract
Advancements in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry over the last decades have led to a significant development in mass spectrometry-based proteome quantification approaches. An increasingly attractive strategy is multiplex isotope labeling, which significantly improves the accuracy, precision and throughput of quantitative proteomics in the data-dependent acquisition mode. Isotope labeling-based approaches can be classified into MS1-based and MS2-based quantification. In this review, we give an overview of approaches based on chemical isotope labeling and discuss their principles, benefits, and limitations with the goal to give insights into fundamental questions and provide a useful reference for choosing a method for quantitative proteomics. As a perspective, we discuss the current possibilities and limitations of multiplex, isotope labeling approaches for the data-independent acquisition mode, which is increasing in popularity.

Abstract
Protein synthesis and degradation responding to environmental cues is critical for understanding the mechanisms involved. Chemical proteomics introducing bioorthogonal tagging into proteins and isolation by biotin affinity purification is applicable for enrichment of newly synthesized proteins (NSPs). Current enrichment methods based on biotin-streptavidin interaction lack efficiency to release enriched NSPs under mild conditions. Here we designed a novel method for enriching newly synthesized peptides by click chemistry followed by release of enriched peptides via tryptic digestion based on cleavable bioorthogonal tagging (CBOT). CBOT-modified peptides can further enhance identification in mass spectrometry analysis and provide a confirmation by small mass shift. Our method achieved an improvement in specificity (97.1%) and sensitivity for NSPs in cell lysate, corresponding to profiling at a depth of 4335 NSPs from 2 mg of starting materials in a single LC-MS/MS run. In addition, the CBOT strategy can quantify NSPs when coupling a pair of isotope-labeled azidohomoalanine (AHA/hAHA) with decent reproducibility. Furthermore, we applied it to analyze newly synthesized proteomes in the autophagy process after 6 h rapamycin stimulation in cells, 2910 NSPs were quantified, and 337 NSPs among them were significantly up- and down-regulated. We envision CBOT as an effective and alternative approach for bioorthogonal chemical proteomics to study stimuli-sensitive subsets.

Abstract
A method has been established to map a bacterial colony to the ever-expanding database of publicly available bacterial genomes by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectra. To accomplish this, spectra are mapped to the predicted masses of ∼65 families of mostly ribosomal proteins. Each of the ∼40 000 bacterial strains in the database receives scores, together with tables listing identified protein sequences and how the highest ranking strains are related to one another. The approach was first confirmed with 16 distinct species of bacteria from the Vibrionales whose genome had been sequenced. Identifications of a few species of bacteria from environmental samples from compost, lakes, and streams in Massachusetts are also reported. Most of these organisms map to known species in the Gammaproteobacteria and Firmicutes. The clades of bacteria deducible from shared ribosomal protein sequences do not always correspond well to named bacterial species. Instead, the identifications made by this methodology indicate groupings of organisms that can readily be distinguished by MALDI-TOF and indicate which polymorphisms in highly conserved proteins demarcate the groupings. Successful identifications highlight organism interrelationships that can be deduced from the available genomes, sorting together genomes into new proposed clades typically consistent with relationships deduced from DNA sequence analysis. In contrast, if for a high-quality spectrum from a fresh colony, no group of related organisms receives high scores, one might infer that no closely related genome has yet been deposited into the database.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to determine whether trefoil factor family (TFF) peptides which were generally considered to be resistant to proteolysis could be digested by gingipains, a major proteinases produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Recombinant human TFF1, TFF2, and TFF3 peptides were used as substrates. Gingipains including arginine gingipain (RgpB) and lysine gingipain (Kgp) were used as enzymes. Trypsin was used as a control protease. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with time-of-flight / time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were used for analyzing peptide mass signals and amino acid sequences of digested TFF peptides. RESULTS MALDI-TOF/TOF analyses demonstrated that Kgp, RgpB, and trypsin were able to cleave TFF1 and TFF2 peptides, resulting in different patterns of digested fragments. However, impurity in recombinant TFF3 peptide substrates affected the interpretations of enzymatic reaction by MALDI-TOF/TOF. LC-MS analyses demonstrated that identified fragments of TFF1, TFF2, and TFF3 from digestion by gingipains were similar to those by trypsin. CONCLUSIONS Using MALDI-TOF/TOF and LC-MS, the present study provides new information that gingipains containing trypsin-like activities are able to digest TFF peptides. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The proteolytic effects of gingipains on TFF peptides may be responsible for reduction of salivary TFF peptides in chronic periodontitis patients. Further investigations to determine the pathological effects of gingipains on TFF peptides in saliva and periodontal tissues of patients with chronic periodontitis would be of interest.

Abstract
Muscle represents a large fraction of the human body mass. It is an extremely heterogeneous tissue featuring in its contractile structure various proportions of heavy- and light-chain slow type 1 and fast types 2A and 2X myosins, actins, tropomyosins, and troponin complexes as well as metabolic proteins (enzymes and most of the players of the so-called excitation-transcription coupling). Muscle is characterized by wide plasticity, i.e. capacity to adjust size and functional properties in response to endogenous and exogenous influences. Over the last decade, proteomics has become a crucial technique for the assessment of muscle at the molecular level and the investigation of its functional changes. Advantages and shortcomings of recent techniques for muscle proteome analysis are discussed. Data from differential proteomics applied to healthy individuals in normal and unusual environments (hypoxia and cold), in exercise, immobilization, aging and to patients with neuromuscular hereditary disorders (NMDs), inclusion body myositis and insulin resistance are summarized, critically discussed and, when required, compared with homologous data from pertinent animal models. The advantages as well as the limits of proteomics in view of the identification of new biomarkers are evaluated.

Abstract
MOTIVATION The qualitative and quantitative characterization of protein abundance profiles over a series of time points or a set of environmental conditions is becoming increasingly important. Using isobaric mass tagging experiments, mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics deliver accurate peptide abundance profiles for relative quantitation. Associated data analysis workflows need to provide tailored statistical treatment that (i) takes the correlation structure of the normalized peptide abundance profiles into account and (ii) allows inference of protein-level similarity. We introduce a suitable distance measure for relative abundance profiles, derive a statistical test for equality and propose a protein-level representation of peptide-level measurements. This yields a workflow that delivers a similarity ranking of protein abundance profiles with respect to a defined reference. All procedures have in common that they operate based on the true correlation structure that underlies the measurements. This optimizes power and delivers more intuitive and efficient results than existing methods that do not take these circumstances into account. RESULTS We use protein profile similarity screening to identify candidate proteins whose abundances are post-transcriptionally controlled by the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase that is a master regulator of the cell cycle. Results are compared with an established protein correlation profiling method. The proposed procedure yields a 50.9-fold enrichment of co-regulated protein candidates and a 2.5-fold improvement over the previous method.

Abstract
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory disease of skeletal muscle of unknown cause. To further understand the nature of the tissue injury in this disease, we developed methods for large-scale detection and quantitation of proteins in muscle biopsy samples and analyzed proteomic data produced by these methods together with histochemical, immunohistochemical, and microarray data. Twenty muscle biopsy samples from patients with inflammatory myopathies (n = 17) or elderly subjects without neuromuscular disease (n = 3) were profiled by proteomic studies using liquid chromatographic separation of peptides followed by mass spectrometry. Thirteen of the diseased samples additionally underwent microarray studies. Seventy muscle specimens from patients with a range of neuromuscular disorders were examined by ATPase histochemical methods. Smaller numbers of samples underwent immunohistochemical and immunoblot studies. Mass spectrometric studies identified and quantified approximately 300 total distinct proteins in each muscle sample. In IBM and to a lesser extent in polymyositis, proteomic studies confirmed by histochemical, immunohistochemical, and immunoblot studies showed loss of many fast-twitch specific structural proteins and glycolytic enzymes despite relative preservation of transcript levels. Increased abundance of a nuclear membrane protein, immunoglobulins, and two calpain-3 substrates were present. The atrophy present in IBM muscle is accompanied by preferential loss of fast-twitch structural proteins and glycolytic enzymes, particularly glycogen debranching enzyme, with relative preservation of the abundance of their respective transcripts. Although muscle atrophy has long been recognized in IBM, these studies are the first to report specific proteins which are reduced in quantity in IBM muscle.

Abstract
Eosinophilic inclusions in the cytoplasm of protoplasmic astrocytes of the neocortex, usually in the clinical setting of epilepsy and/or psychomotor retardation, were first recognized and illustrated by Alois Alzheimer in 1910. Traditional special stains have failed to elucidate the specific nature of these inclusions. Ultrastructurally, the material was composed predominantly of highly electron-dense, non-membrane-bound, granular material distinct from Rosenthal fibers. Immunohistochemical examination has been informative but also sometimes inconsistent; it has recently been suggested that they may represent a filaminopathy (filamin A). We examined 5 cases with neocortical eosinophilic inclusions (3 autopsies, 2 surgical resections) using a standardized immunohistochemical protocol at a single institution. The specimens were immunostained with 32 antibodies to 30 potentially relevant proteins using several antigen retrieval protocols. We confirmed the presence of filamin A in these inclusions, but several additional proteins, particularly cytoglobin and glutamate transporter 1, were also identified. By electron microscopy in 2 cases, the granular fine structure of the inclusions was confirmed; mitochondria adjacent to, and perhaps within, the inclusions that contained many pleomorphic vesicular and membranous elements were also noted in 1 case. The pathophysiologic relevance of these proteins and the clinical significance of the hyaline inclusions are discussed.

Abstract
In simplifying the evaluation and quantification of high-throughput label-free quantitative proteomic data, we introduce ProteinQuant Suite. It comprises three standalone complementary computer utilities, namely ProtParser, ProteinQuant, and Turbo RAW2MGF. ProtParser is a filtering utility designed to evaluate database search results. Filtering is performed according to different criteria that are defined by the end-user. ProteinQuant then utilizes this parsed list of peptides and proteins in conjunction with mzXML or mzData files generated from the raw files for quantification. This quantification is based on the automatic detection and integration of chromatographic peaks representative of the liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) elution profiles of identified peptides. Turbo RAW2MGF was developed to extend the applicability of ProteinQuant Suite to data collected from different types of mass spectrometers. It directly processes raw data files generated by Xcalibur, a ThermoElectron data acquisition software, and generates a MASCOT generic file (MGF). This file format is needed since the protein identification results generated by the database search employing this file format include information required for the precise identification and quantification of chromatographic peaks. The performance of ProteinQuant Suite was initially validated using LC/MS/MS generated for a mixture of standard proteins as well as standard proteins spiked in a complex biological matrix such as blood serum. Automated quantification of the collected data resulted in calibration curves with R(2) values higher than 0.95 with linearity spanning over more than 2 orders of magnitude with peak quantification reproducibility better than 15% (RSD). ProteinQuant Suite was also applied to confirm the binding preference of standard glycoproteins to Con A lectin using a sample consisting of both standard glycoproteins and proteins.

Abstract
PURPOSE To use proteomic analysis to identify up- and downregulated proteins in early venous stenosis formation in a porcine model of hemodialysis graft failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pigs had chronic renal insufficiency created by subtotal renal infarction caused by renal artery embolization. Arteriovenous polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were placed 28 days later and the animals were killed after a further 3 days (n = 4), 7 days (n = 4), or 14 days (n = 4). Proteomic analysis with isotope-coded affinity tags and multidimensional liquid chromatography followed by tandem mass spectrometry was performed on the venous stenosis and control vessels. Expression of proteins was further confirmed by Western blot analysis. The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were determined before renal artery embolization and at the time of graft placement. RESULTS At graft placement, mean BUN and creatinine levels were significantly higher than before embolization (P < .05). Six proteins were identified that were common to all four animals at the same time point. Five proteins (alpha-fetoprotein, fetuin A, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component, and lactoferrin) were upregulated and one protein (decorin) was downregulated. Expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor, alpha-fetoprotein, and lactoferrin was further validated with Western blotting. By day 14, lactoferrin and fetuin-A expression were increased significantly in early venous stenosis formation. CONCLUSIONS Significantly increased expression of lactoferrin and fetuin-A were observed in early venous stenosis by day 14. Understanding the role of lactoferrin and fetuin-A in hemodialysis vascular access failure could help in improving outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
An automated off-line liquid chromatography-matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (LC-MALDI) interface capable of coupling both capillary and microbore LC separations with MALDI mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been developed. The interface is a combination of two concepts: analyte concentration from heated hanging droplets and impulse-driven droplet deposition of LC fractions onto a MALDI sample plate. At room temperature the interface allows the coupling of capillary LC separations (i.e., flow rate of <5 microL/min) with MALDI MS. With heating, it can be used to combine microbore LC operated at a relatively high flow rate of up to 50 microL/min with MALDI MS. The collected fractions can be analyzed by MALDI MS and MS/MS instruments, such as time-of-flight (TOF) and quadrupole-TOF MS. Performance of the interface was examined using several peptide and protein standards. It was shown that, using MALDI-TOF MS, [GLU1]-fibrinopeptide B could be detected with a total injection amount of 5 fmol to microbore LC. Chromatographic performance was also monitored. A peak width of 12 s at half-height for [GLU1]-fibrinopeptide B showed no evidence of band broadening due to the interface. The ability of the interface to mitigate ion suppression was studied using a mixture of 100 fmol of [GLU1]-fibrinopeptide B and 10 pmol of cytochrome c tryptic digest. Although fully suppressed under direct MALDI conditions, LC-MALDI analysis was able to detect the 100 fmol peptide with 10 s fraction collection. Finally, the ability to inject relatively large sample amounts to improve detectability of low-abundance peptides was illustrated in the analysis of phosphopeptides from alpha-casein tryptic digests. A digest loaded on column to 2.4 microg and analyzed by LC-MALDI MS/MS resulted in 82% sequence coverage and detection of all nine phosphoserine residues. It is concluded that, being able to handle both high- and low-flow LC separations, the impulse-driven heated-droplet interface provides the flexibility to carry out MALDI analysis of peptides and proteins depending on the information sought after, analysis speed, and sample size.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal host from which to obtain high levels of posttranslationally modified eukaryotic proteins for x-ray crystallography. However, extensive replacement of methionine by selenomethionine for anomalous dispersion phasing has proven intractable in yeast. We report a general method to incorporate selenomethionine into proteins expressed in yeast based on manipulation of the appropriate metabolic pathways. sam1(-) sam2(-) mutants, in which the conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine is blocked, exhibit reduced selenomethionine toxicity compared with wild-type yeast, increased production of protein during growth in selenomethionine, and efficient replacement of methionine by selenomethionine, based on quantitative mass spectrometry and x-ray crystallography. The structure of yeast tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase was solved to 1.8 A by using multiwavelength anomalous dispersion phasing with protein that was expressed and purified from the sam1(-) sam2(-) strain grown in selenomethionine. Six of eight selenium residues were located in the structure.

Abstract
High-speed, high-resolution LC separations, using a poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) monolithic column, have been coupled to MALDI MS and MS/MS through an off-line continuous deposition interface. The LC eluent was mixed with alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid matrix solution and deposited on a MALDI plate that had been precoated with nitrocellulose. Deposition at subatmospheric pressure (80 Torr) formed a 250-microm-wide serpentine trace with uniform width and microcrystalline morphology. The deposited trace was then analyzed in the MS mode using a MALDI-TOF/TOF MS instrument. Continuous deposition allowed interrogation of the separation with a high data sampling rate in the chromatographic dimensions, thus preserving the high resolution of narrow peaks (3-5-s peak width at half-height) of the fast monolithic LC. No extracolumn band broadening due to the deposition process was observed. Over 2000 components were resolved in a 10-min linear gradient separation of the model sample, and 386 unique peptides were identified in the subsequent MS/MS analysis. The continuous deposition interface allows the coupling of high-resolution separations to MALDI MS without degradation in separation efficiency, thus enabling high-throughput proteome analysis.

Abstract
Proteomics addresses the important goal of determining the chemistry and composition of proteins in biological samples. Mass-spectrometry-based strategies have been highly successful in identifying and profiling proteins in complex mixtures; however, although depth of sampling continues to improve, a general recognition exists that no study has yet achieved complete protein coverage in any tissue, cell type, subcellular component, or fluid. The development of new approaches for comprehensively surveying highly complex protein mixtures, distinguishing protein isoforms, quantifying changes in protein abundance between different samples, and mapping post-translational modifications are areas of active research. These will be needed to achieve the "systems-wide" protein profiling goals of defining molecular responses to cell perturbations and obtaining biomarker information for disease detection, prognosis, and responses to therapy. We review recent progress in approaching these problems and present examples of successful applications and the outlook for the future.

Abstract
As proteomics matures from a purely descriptive to a function-oriented discipline of the life sciences, there is strong demand for novel methodologies that increase the depth of information that can be obtained from proteomic studies. MS has long played a central role for protein identification and characterization, often in combination with dedicated chemical modification reactions. Today, chemistry is helping to advance the field of proteomics in numerous ways. In this review, we focus on those methodologies that have a significant impact for the large-scale study of proteins and peptides. This includes approaches that allow the introduction of affinity tags for the enrichment of subclasses of peptides or proteins and strategies for in vitro stable isotope labeling for quantification purposes, among others. Particular attention is given to the study of PTMs where recent advancements have been promising, but many interesting targets are not yet being addressed.

Abstract
This study describes a methodology for performing relative quantitation in large-scale proteomic sample comparisons using an LC-MALDI mass spectrometry analytical platform without the use of isotope tagging reagents. The method utilizes replicate analyses of a sample to create a profile of constituent components that are aligned based on LC elution time and mass. Once components from individual runs have been grouped as common "features", the Student's t test is used to determine which components are systematically different between samples. In this study, five HPLC runs of human plasma were compared to five HPLC runs of human serum. About 3889 components were detected in all 10 runs. Of these, 1831 corresponded to approximately 100 known serum proteins, based on MS/MS analysis of one run each from serum and plasma. As expected, fibrinogen alpha, beta, and gamma chains accounted for many of the most significant differences. Therefore, using MALDI, samples containing thousands of peptides can be compared in a minimal amount of time. Moreover, the results of the comparison can be used to guide further MS/MS mode sample interrogation in a result dependent manner.

Abstract
A simple and robust impulse-driven droplet deposition system was developed for off-line liquid chromatography matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MALDI MS). The system uses a solenoid operated with a pulsed voltage power supply to generate impulses that dislodge the hanging droplets from the LC outlet directly to a MALDI plate via a momentum transfer process. There is no contact between the LC outlet and the collection surface. The system is compatible with solvents of varying polarity and viscosity, and accommodates the use of hydrophobic and hydrophilic MALDI matrices. MALDI spots are produced on-line with the separation, and do not require further processing before MS analysis. It is shown that high quality MALDI spectra from 5 fmol of pyro-Glu-fibrinopeptide deposition after LC separation could be obtained using the device, indicating that there was no sample loss in the interface. To demonstrate the analytical performance of the system as a proteome analysis tool, a range of BSA digest concentrations covering about 3 orders of magnitude, from 5 fmol to 1 pmol, were analyzed by LC-MALDI quadrupole time-of-flight MS, yielding 6 and 57% amino acid sequence coverage, respectively. In addition, a complex protein mixture of an E. coli cell extract was tryptically digested and analyzed by LC-MALDI MS, resulting in the detection of a total of 409 unique peptides from 100 fractions of 15-s intervals.

Abstract
Large-scale proteomic analyses frequently rely on high-resolution peptide separation of digested protein mixtures in multiple dimensions to achieve accuracy in sample detection and sensitivity in dynamic range of coverage. This study was undertaken to demonstrate the feasibility of MALDI MS/MS with off-line coupling to HPLC for the analysis of whole cell lysates of wild-type yeast by three different workflows: SCX-RPHPLC-MS/MS, high-pH SAX-RPHPLC-MS/MS and RP (protein)-SCX-RPHPLC-MS/MS. The purpose of these experiments was to demonstrate the effect of a workflow on the end results in terms of the number of proteins detected, the average peptide coverage of proteins, and the number of redundant peptide sequencing attempts. Using 60 microg of yeast lysate, minor differences were seen in the number of proteins detected by each method (800-1200). The most significant differences were observed in redundancy of MS/MS acquisitions.

Abstract
The analysis of tandem mass (MS/MS) data to identify and quantify proteins is hampered by the heterogeneity of file formats at the raw spectral data, peptide identification, and protein identification levels. Different mass spectrometers output their raw spectral data in a variety of proprietary formats, and alternative methods that assign peptides to MS/MS spectra and infer protein identifications from those peptide assignments each write their results in different formats. Here we describe an MS/MS analysis platform, the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline, which makes use of open XML file formats for storage of data at the raw spectral data, peptide, and protein levels. This platform enables uniform analysis and exchange of MS/MS data generated from a variety of different instruments, and assigned peptides using a variety of different database search programs. We demonstrate this by applying the pipeline to data sets generated by ThermoFinnigan LCQ, ABI 4700 MALDI-TOF/TOF, and Waters Q-TOF instruments, and searched in turn using SEQUEST, Mascot, and COMET.

Abstract
To enable the development of a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) based methodology for selective protein identification and differential quantitative analysis, a novel derivatization strategy is proposed, based on the formation of a "fixed-charge" sulfonium ion on the side-chain of a methionine amino acid residue contained within a protein or peptide of interest. The gas-phase fragmentation behavior of these side chain fixed charge sulfonium ion containing peptides is observed to result in exclusive loss of the derivatized side chain and the formation of a single characteristic product ion, independently of charge state or amino acid composition. Thus, fixed charge containing peptide ions may be selectively identified from complex mixtures, for example, by selective neutral loss scan mode MS/MS methods. Further structural interrogation of identified peptide ions may be achieved by subjecting the characteristic MS/MS product ion to multistage MS/MS (MS3) in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer, or by energy resolved "pseudo" MS3 in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The general principles underlying this fixed charge derivatization approach are demonstrated here by MS/MS, MS3 and "pseudo" MS3 analysis of side chain fixed-charge sulfonium ion derivatives of peptides containing methionine formed by reaction with phenacylbromide. Incorporation of "light" and "heavy" isotopically encoded labels into the fixed-charge derivatives facilitates the application of this method to the quantitative analysis of differential protein expression, via measurement of the relative abundances of the neutral loss product ions generated by dissociation of the light and heavy labeled peptide ions. This approach, termed "selective extraction of labeled entities by charge derivatization and tandem mass spectrometry" (SELECT), thereby offers the potential for significantly improved sensitivity and selectivity for the identification and quantitative analysis of peptides or proteins containing selected structural features, without requirement for extensive fractionation or otherwise enrichment from a complex mixture prior to analysis.

Abstract
Realization of the advantages of stable isotope labeling for proteomics has emerged gradually. However, many stable isotope label approaches rely on labeling in vitro using complex and sometimes expensive reagents. This review discusses strategies for labeling protein in vivo through metabolic incorporation of label into protein. This approach has many advantages, is particularly suited to single cells grown in culture (prokaryotic or eukaryotic), but is nonetheless subject to a number of complicating factors that must be controlled so that meaningful experiments can be conducted. Confounding issues include the metabolic lability of the amino acid precursor, incomplete labeling, and the role of protein turnover in labeling kinetics. All of these are controllable, provided that appropriate precautions are adopted.

Abstract
An important challenge for proteomics is to be able to compare absolute protein levels across biological samples. Here we introduce an approach based on the use of culture-derived isotope tags (CDITs) for quantitative tissue proteome analysis. We cultured Neuro2A cells in a stable isotope-enriched medium and mixed them with mouse brain samples to serve as internal standards. Using CDITs, we identified and quantified a total of 1,000 proteins, 97-98% of which were expressed in both mouse whole brain and Neuro2A cells. CDITs also allow comprehensive and absolute protein quantification. Synthetic unlabeled peptides were used to quantify the corresponding proteins labeled with stable isotopes in Neuro2A cells, and the results were used to obtain the absolute amounts of 103 proteins in mouse whole brain. The expression levels correlated well with those in Neuro2A cells. Thus, the use of CDITs allows both relative and absolute quantitative proteome studies.

Abstract
The information from genome sequencing provides new approaches for systems-wide understanding of protein networks and cellular function. DNA microarray technologies have advanced to the point where nearly complete monitoring of gene expression is feasible in several organisms. An equally important goal is to comprehensive survey cellular proteomes and profile protein changes under different cellular states. This presents a complex analytical problem, due to the chemical variability between proteins and peptides. Here, we discuss strategies to improve accuracy and sensitivity of peptide identification, distinguish represented protein isoforms, and quantify relative changes in protein abundance.

Abstract
We describe here a multiplexed protein quantitation strategy that provides relative and absolute measurements of proteins in complex mixtures. At the core of this methodology is a multiplexed set of isobaric reagents that yield amine-derivatized peptides. The derivatized peptides are indistinguishable in MS, but exhibit intense low-mass MS/MS signature ions that support quantitation. In this study, we have examined the global protein expression of a wild-type yeast strain and the isogenic upf1Delta and xrn1Delta mutant strains that are defective in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and the general 5' to 3' decay pathways, respectively. We also demonstrate the use of 4-fold multiplexing to enable relative protein measurements simultaneously with determination of absolute levels of a target protein using synthetic isobaric peptide standards. We find that inactivation of Upf1p and Xrn1p causes common as well as unique effects on protein expression.
