Problems solved by technology

However, the study of histone post-translational modifications based on mass spectrometry faces some difficulties
First, there are a large number of arginine and lysine in the amino acid sequence of histones. For example, 23% of the sequence of core histone H3 is basic amino acids, so the peptide fragments produced by traditional trypsin digestion are very small. It is very hydrophilic and cannot be retained by reverse chromatographic columns so that it cannot be detected by mass spectrometry; second, the abundant post-translational modifications on histone lysine and arginine will greatly reduce or even completely hinder the digestion efficiency of trypsin Thirdly, although chemical reagents such as acetic anhydride and propionic anhydride can derivatize and protect histones before cleavage, this method has the following disadvantages: propionylation is also an endogenous modification, and derivatization cannot It is distinguished from natural propionylation modification; secondly, some side chain side reactions will occur during histone propionylation derivatization, including methyl esterification, amidation, excessive propionylation and incomplete propionylation; finally , the two-step derivatization of histones is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poorly operable for some biomolecular laboratories

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of protein analysis, and in particular relates to a method for enzymolyzing histones by outer membrane protease T and performing mass spectrometry analysis. Background technique [0002] The prior art discloses a large number of post-translational modifications on histones, such as methylation, acetylation. These post-translational modifications play an important role in a variety of DNA-dependent biological processes. They mainly participate in many biological processes such as transcriptional activation, transcriptional repression, and chromatin depolymerization by changing the high-level structure of chromatin or recruiting specific binding proteins. According to research reports, more than 20 kinds of post-translational modifications have been found on histones, located on 130 different sites and variants. Using mass spectrometry to identify and quantify these post-modifications efficiently, quickly and ...
