Equine beta-casein is phosphorylated at variable degrees and isoforms carrying 3 to 7 phosphate groups (3P-7P) have been found in milk, but the phosphorylated amino acid residues of each isoform are not yet identified. In the present work, the different phosphorylation variants were first isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and then hydrolysed by trypsin to generate caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs), each containing all the potential phosphorylation sites. The equine CPPs were prepared by metal oxide affinity chromatography, a method based on the affinity of phosphate groups towards titanium dioxide immobilized onto a micro-column. This method turned out to be an efficient tool to separate the CPPs Arg(1)-Lys(34) and Glu(4)-Lys(34) from non-phosphorylated peptides. Purification was achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and each CPP was hydrolyzed by endoproteinase Glu-C. Finally, the digests were analyzed by RP-HPLC/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC/ESI-MS) and identified by nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nESI-MS/MS) to locate the phosphorylated sites of the beta-casein isoforms 4P-7P with accuracy. Thus, the isoform 4P was found to be phosphorylated on residues Ser(9), Ser(23), Ser(24), and Ser(25). Addition of phosphate groups on Ser(18), Thr(12), and Ser(10) led to the formation of the isoforms 5P-7P, respectively. The results indicated that the in vivo phosphorylation of the equine beta-casein follows a sequential way and is not randomly performed.

D021241 Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
