Protonated peptides derived from proline-rich proteins (PRP) are often difficult to sequence by standard collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry (MS) due to preferential amide bond cleavage N-terminal to proline. In connection with bovine spongiform encephalopathy regulations, proteolytic products derived from the PRP collagen have been suggested as markers for contamination of animal feedstuffs with processed animal protein (Fernandez Ocaña, M. et al., Analyst 2004, 129, 111-115). Herein, we report the identification of these marker peptides using the strategy of C-terminal sequencing by CID MS from their sodium and lithium adducts. Upon fragmentation a new cationized peptide was produced that is one C-terminal amino acid shorter in length. This dissociation pathway allowed for the facile identification of the C-terminal residue by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Each newly formed cationized peptide was further fragmented by up to seven stages of electrospray ionization ion trap MS. Proline-rich C-terminal sequence tags were established which permitted successful database identification of collagen alpha type I proteins.

D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
