본 논문은 단백질 동정에 이용하는 펩타이드-매스 핑거프린팅 툴 중 하나인 Mowse의 성능을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. Mowse에서 빈발 요소 행렬은 단백질과 펩타이드 질량에 대하여 일정한 간격으로 생성되어 행렬의 각 원소의 값은 펩타이드의 빈발횟수에 따라 계산된다. 현재 이러한 행렬을 생성하는데 있어서 정해진 간격으로 생성되는데 이러한 간격의 값이 작아질수록 스코어링 값은 정확해진다. 그러나 이러한 간격의 값이 작아질수록 행렬의 크기는 증가하게 되며 이에 따라 스코어링 계산의 복잡도도 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 행렬의 크기를 현재와 같이 유지하면서 스코어 링 값을 정확하게 계산하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 현재 Mowse에서 검색 대상이 되는 단백질 데이터베이스의 분포를 고려하여 비선형적으로 행렬의 간격의 값을 정하는 방법 즉, 임의의 단백질 질량 값이 많은 곳에서는 행렬의 간격을 작게 결정하는 반면 단백질 질량 값이 적은 곳에서는 행렬의 간격을 크게 결정하는 방법을 새롭게 제안하였다. 또한, 성능평가는 Mowse 스코어링 방법과 본 논문에서 제안한 새로운 스코어링 방법에 관하여 수행하고 분석결과를 제시하였다.

With the rapid development of MS technologiesy, the demands for a more sophisticated MS interpretation algorithm haves grown as well. We have developed a new protein fingerprinting method using a binomial distribution, (fBIND). With the fBIND, we improved the performance accuracy of protein fingerprinting up to the maximum 49% (more than MOWSE) and 2% than(at a previous binomial distribution approach studied by of Wool et al.) as compared to the established algorithms. Moreover, we also suggest a the statistical approach to define the significance of transcription factors and motifs in the identified proteins based on the Gene Ontology (GO). Abbreviations: fBIND, fingerprinting using binomial distribution; GO, Gene Ontology; MS, Mass Spectrometry; PMF, peptide mass fingerprinting; nr, nonredundant; SGD, Saccharomyces Genome Database

The purpose of this study was to analyze myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms in bovine longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle by liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). LT muscles taken from Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) steer (n=3) used to separate myosin bands by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The peptide queries were obtained from the myosin bands by LC-MS/MS analysis following in-gel digestion with trypsin. A total of 33 and 43 queries were identified as common and unique peptides, respectively, of MHC isoforms (individual ions scores >43 indicate identity or extensive homology, p<0.05). MHC-1 (IIx), -2 (IIa), -4 (IIb), and -7 (slow/I) were identified based on the Mowse score (5118, 3951, 2526, and 2541 for MHC-1, -2, -4, and -7, respectively). However, more analysis is needed to confirm the expression of MHC-4 in bovine LT muscle because any query identified as a unique peptide of MHC-4 was not found. The queries that were identified as unique peptides could be used as peptide markers to confirm MHC-1 (14 queries), -2 (8 queries), and -7 (21 queries) in bovine LT muscle; no query identified as a unique peptide of MHC-4 was found. LC-MS/MS analysis is a useful approach to study MHC isoforms at the protein level.

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.
