Abstract
Isobaric peptide termini labeling (IPTL) is an approach for quantitative proteomics based on crosswise isotopic labeling of peptides at the N- and C-terminus. The labeling reagents are chosen in isotopic variations that the resulting mass of all labels per peptide is isobaric, but the individual label on each peptide terminus is different. Therefore, the quantitative difference of the peptide signal can be determined by the fragment ions of the corresponding MS2 spectra. Here, we describe an approach for triplex-IPTL to allow the comparison of three proteomes. This approach is based on digestion of the proteins by endoproteinase Lys-C, followed by three combinations of selective dimethylation of the peptide N-termini and subsequent dimethylation of the lysine residues at the C-termini. Data analysis is performed using Mascot for database searches and the freely available software package IsobariQ for quantification.
