Selective Enrichment of Histidine Phosphorylated Peptides Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Protein histidine phosphorylation (pHis) is involved in molecular signaling networks in bacteria, fungi, plants, and higher eukaryotes including mammals and is implicated in human diseases such as cancer. Detailed investigations of the pHis modification are hampered due to its acid-labile nature and consequent lack of tools to study this post-translational modification (PTM). We here demonstrate three molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based reagents, MIP1-MIP3, for enrichment of pHis peptides and subsequent characterization by chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The combination of MIP1 and β-elimination provided some selectivity for improved detection of pHis peptides. MIP2 was amenable to larger pHis peptides, although with poor selectivity. Microsphere-based MIP3 exhibited im
