Profiling constitutive proteolytic events in vivo.
Most known organisms encode proteases that are crucial for constitutive proteolytic events. In the present paper, we describe a method to define these events in proteomes from Escherichia coli to humans. The method takes advantage of specific N-terminal biotinylation of protein samples, followed by affinity enrichment and conventional LC (liquid chromatography)-MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometry) ...
متن کاملAnalyzing protease specificity and detecting in vivo proteolytic events using tandem mass spectrometry.
Although trypsin remains the most commonly used protease in MS, other proteases may be employed for increasing peptide coverage or generating overlapping peptides. Knowledge of the accurate specificity rules of these proteases is helpful for database search tools to detect peptides, and becomes crucial when label-free MS is used to discover in vivo proteolytic cleavages. Since in vivo cleavages...
متن کاملEvaluation of In Vivo Proteolytic Activity
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative articular disease primarily observed in older adults, and is the leading cause of physical disability and impaired quality of life. OA is characterized by softening, fibrillation, erosion, defect of the articular cartilage, bone hypertrophy at the margins with osteophyte formation, subchondral sclerosis, and chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane and...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of proteolytic activity in atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque rupture, the most important cause of acute cardiovascular incidents, has been strongly associated with vascular inflammation. On the basis of the hypothesis that the inflammatory response and proteolysis lead to plaque rupture, we have examined the role of cathepsin B as a model proteolytic enzyme. METHODS AND RESULTS Using western-type diet-fed apoE and apoE...
متن کاملIn vivo Overhauser-enhanced MRI of proteolytic activity.
There is an increasing interest in developing novel imaging strategies for sensing proteolytic activities in intact organisms in vivo. Overhauser-enhanced MRI (OMRI) offers the possibility to reveal the proteolysis of nitroxide-labeled macromolecules thanks to a sharp decrease of the rotational correlation time of the nitroxide moiety upon cleavage. In this paper, this concept is illustrated in...
