Methods, compositions, kits, and apparatus are provided wherein the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase system is used to analyze amino acids. The method allows very small devices for quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis of the amino acids in samples or in sequential or complete proteolytic digestions. The methods can be readily applied to the detection and / or quantitation of one or more primary amino acids by using cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and cognate tRNA. The basis of the method is that each of the 20 synthetases and / or a tRNA specific for a different amino acid is separated spatially or differentially labeled. The reactions catalyzed by all 20 synthetases may be monitored simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, or in parallel. Each separately positioned synthetase or tRNA will signal its cognate amino acid. The synthetase reactions can be monitored using continuous spectroscopic assays. Alternatively, since elongation factor Tu:GTP (EF-Tu:GTP) specifically binds all AA-tRNAs, the aminoacylation reactions catalyzed by the synthetases can be monitored using ligand assays. Microarrays and microsensors for amino acid analysis are provided. Additionally, amino acid analysis devices are integrated with protease digestions to produce miniaturized enzymatic sequenators capable of generating either N- or C-terminal sequence and composition data for a protein or peptide. The possibility of parallel processing of many samples in an automated manner is discussed.

This invention describes the use of peptide profiling to identify, characterize, and classify biological samples. In complex samples, many thousands of different peptides will be present at varying concentrations. The invention uses liquid chromatography and similar methods to separate peptides, which are then identified and quantified using mass spectrometry. By identification it is meant that the correct sequence of the peptide is established through comparisons with genome sequence databases, since the majority of peptides and proteins are unannotated and have no ascribed name or function. Quantification means an estimate of the absolute or relative abundance of the peptide species using mass spectrometry and related techniques including, but not limited to, pre- or post-experimental stable or unstable isotope incorporation, molecular mass tagging, differential mass tagging, and amino acid analysis.

Display of peptides or proteins in an ordered, repetitive array, such as on the surface of a virus-like particle, is known to induce an enhanced immune response relative to vaccination with the “free” protein antigen. The 2100 coat proteins comprising the rod-shaped capsid of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can accommodate short peptide insertions into the primary sequence, but the display of larger protein moieties on the virion surface by genetic fusions to the capsid protein has not been possible. Since TMV lacks surface exposed residues compatible with commonly available linker chemistries, we employed a randomized library approach to introduce a reactive lysine at the externally located at the amino-terminus of the coat protein. We found that we could easily control the extent of virion conjugation and demonstrated stoichiometric biotinylation of the introduced lysine. To characterize this modular platform for the display of heterologous proteins, we bound a model antigen (streptavidin (SA)-green fluorescent protein (GFP), expressed and purified from plants) to the surface of TMV, creating a GFP-SA decorated virus particle. Rapid and quantitative determination of the level of TMV capsid decoration was accomplished by subjecting the complex to amino acid analysis and solving the family of linear equations relating the pmoles of each residue to the known amino acid composition of the complex components. We obtained a GFP-SA tetramer loading of 26%, which corresponds to display of approximately 2200 GFP moieties per intact virion. We evaluated the immunogenicity of GFP decorated virions in both mice and guinea pigs, and found augmented humoral IgG titers in both species, relative to unbound GFP-SA tetramer. In mice, we observed a detectable humoral immune response after only a single immunization with the TMV-protein complex. By demonstrating the presentation of whole proteins, this study expands the utility of TMV as a vaccine scaffold beyond that which is possible by genetic manipulation.
