Quantitative analysis of newly synthesized proteins.

ABSTRACT: Measuring proteome response to perturbations is critical for understanding the underlying mechanisms involved. Traditional quantitative proteomic methods are limited by the large numbers of proteins in the proteome and the mass spectrometer's dynamic range. A previous method uses the biorthogonal reagent azidohomoalanine (AHA), a methionine analog, for labeling, enrichment and detection of newly synthesized proteins (NSPs). Newly synthesized AHA proteins can be coupled to biotin via CuAAC-mediated click chemistry and enriched using avidin-based affinity purification. The combination of AHA-mediated NSP labeling with metabolic stable isotope labeling allows quantitation of low-abundant, newly secreted proteins by mass spectrometry (MS). However, the resulting multiplicity of labeling compli
