Identification of an N-acetylated microsomal glutathione S-transferase by mass spectrometry.
Microsomal glutathione S-transferase (mGST) was purified to homogeneity from male Sprague-Dawley rat liver, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Removal of Triton X-100 and further separation by reversed phase HPLC revealed two proteins, mGST 1 and mGST 2, in a 1:3 ratio. Analysis of mGST 1 and mGST 2 by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry determined their molecular weights to be 17,354.2 +/- 6.6 and 17,397.9 +/- 6.6, respectively. mGST 1 was in close agreement with the calculated molecular weight of 17,348, as predicted by the previously reported cDNA sequence. Cyanogen bromide digestion and peptide mapping by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) localized the mass increase to the N-terminal peptide, 1-7. FAB-tandem mass spectrometry of this peptide in conjunction with Edman reactions on the intact protein demonstrated the N-terminal alanine to be acetylated.[1]References
