Making Broad Proteome Protein Measurements in 1−5 min Using High-Speed RPLC Separations and High-Accuracy Mass Measurements
2005
The throughput of proteomics measurements that provide broad protein coverage is limited by the quality and speed of both the separations as well as the subsequent mass spectrometric analysis; at present, analysis times can range anywhere from hours (high throughput) to days or longer (low throughput). We have explored the basis for proteomics analyses conducted on the order of minutes using high-speed capillary RPLC combined through on-line electrospray ionization interface with high-accuracy mass spectrometry (MS) measurements. Short 0.8-microm porous C18 particle-packed 50-microm-i.d. capillaries were used to speed the RPLC separations while still providing high-quality separations. Both…
Ultrahigh-Throughput Proteomics Using Fast RPLC Separations with ESI-MS/MS
2005
We describe approaches for proteomics analysis using electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry coupled with fast reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) separations. The RPLC separations used 50-microm-i.d. fused-silica capillaries packed with submicrometer-sized C18-bonded porous silica particles and achieved peak capacities of 130-420 for analytes from proteome tryptic digests. When these separations were combined with linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry measurements, approximately 1000 proteins could be identified in 50 min from approximately 4000 identified tryptic peptides; approximately 550 proteins in 20 min from approximately 1800 peptides; and approximately 250 prot…
The Genome of the Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
2006
We report the sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus , a model for developmental and systems biology. The sequencing strategy combined whole-genome shotgun and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequences. This use of BAC clones, aided by a pooling strategy, overcame difficulties associated with high heterozygosity of the genome. The genome encodes about 23,300 genes, including many previously thought to be vertebrate innovations or known only outside the deuterostomes. This echinoderm genome provides an evolutionary outgroup for the chordates and yields insights into the evolution of deuterostomes.
