Abstract

Methods for the rapid separation of phosphopeptide isomers (peptides with the same sequence but with phosphates on different residues) were developed using capillary zone electrophoresis with ultraviolet (CZE-UV) detection. Uncoated, cationic and neutral capillaries were used with both acidic and basic peptides. These methods enabled the assay of several protein kinases (mitogen activated protein kinase, protein kinase A, GST-tyrosine kinase) and phosphatases (acid, alkaline, and protein tyrosine phosphatase) and the determination of the sites of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Incubations of nonphosphorylated or phosphorylated peptide with kinases or phosphatases took place directly in the instrument's autosampler and were monitored over several hours using CZE-UV.
