Hepatocytes were boiled at 95 °C for 5 min, followed by three rounds of sonication for 10 s. The protein concentration of the lysate was determined using Pierce™ BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific, #23225, USA). 100 μg of protein was reduced with 10 mmol/L tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) for 20 min at 65 °C and alkylated with 40 mmol/L chloroacetamide for 20 min in the dark. Proteins were digested with 1 μg trypsin at 37 °C in a shaking water bath overnight, the peptides acidified with formic acid to a pH of 3, diluted 1:1 (v:v) with ethyl acetate, centrifuged at 15,000×g for 5 min, and peptides purified with Millipore® C18 Ziptips (Sigma Aldrich, USA). Peptides were dried using a Speedvac concentrator (Eppendorf Concentrator Plus, Germany), reconstituted in 0.1% formic acid and 2% acetonitrile (ACN), then sonicated in a water bath for 10 min. Samples were centrifuged at 16,000×g for 5 min and, the supernatant was transferred into mass spectrometry vials and stored at 4 °C.

Phosphopeptide Enrichment and LC-MS/MS Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The enriched phosphopeptides were dissolved in NETN buffer (consisting of 0.5% NP-40, 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl and 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) and incubated with pre-washed IMAC antibody beads (CST, Danvers, USA) with gentle shaking at 4 °C overnight. The beads were then washed with NETN buffer four times and with H2O twice. Then, 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid was used to elute the bound peptides from the beads and the eluted vacuum-dried fractions were combined. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was performed on the resulting peptides, desalted with Millipore C18 ZipTips (Sigma-Aldrich, Shanghai, China). All the experiments were conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The results were analyzed using two-dimensional LC-MS/MS [20 (link)].

To establish the cleavage sites within FBG and human glucagon, peptides (20 µM) were hydrolyzed by IDE in PBS for varying lengths of time, and the reactions were terminated by addition of 1% formic acid. Excess salts were removed using Millipore® C18 Ziptips (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) according to manufacturer’s recommendations. The intact and digested peptides were eluted in a 1:3 mixture of water:acetonitrile supplemented with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, spotted 1:1 with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid or alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid onto a steel sample plate, and subjected to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy using positive reflection mode on an AB SCIEX TOF/TOF™ 5800 System (AB Sciex Pte. Ltd., Framingham, MA, USA). Observed masses were compared to monoisotopic [M+H]+ masses predicted using PEPTIDEMASS8 (link).

The samples were mixed in a saturated aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid
(1:1 v/v) and synergistic acid (90% of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 10% of
α-cyano-4-hydroxycarnamic acid) as described by da Silva et al. [26 (link)]. Briefly, a cation exchange step was
added immediately before the analysis on an AnchorChip 600/384 MTP plates. This
was co-crystallized at ambient temperature, and the samples were processed with
reagents from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). The α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid MALDI
matrix was processed with Millipore® C18 Ziptips. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
was performed on an Axima Performance MALDI-TOF/TOF (Shimadzu, Japan) using an
α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as the matrix. The peptide profile was acquired
in linear mode with 75 V laser power.

Frozen mycelia from PDB cultures were ground in liquid N2 and protein extracted as described previously [21 (link)] with some alterations. Briefly, 1 g of crushed mycelia was resuspended in 6 mL of lysis buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 6 M GdnHCl, 10 mM DTT pH 8.6) and sonicated. Protein extraction from PDA agar plates was performed as described previously [19 (link)]. All lysates were clarified twice by centrifugation, and resulting supernatants were brought to 15% TCA. Precipitated protein was pelleted by centrifugation after 30 min, and pellets were washed twice with ice-cold acetone. Pellets were finally resuspended in UT buffer (6 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH8). Protein concentration was determined using a Bradford protein assay, and all samples were adjusted to 1 mg/mL in advance of digestion. Trypsin digestion of protein samples was carried out as described previously [22 (link)], and sample clean-up was performed using Millipore C18 Ziptips® (Billerica, MA, USA), as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
