Abstract

In this chapter, we describe a rapid workflow for the shotgun global phosphoproteomics analysis. The strategy is based on the use of accelerated in-solution trypsin digestion under an ultrasonic field by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) coupled to titanium dioxide (TiO2) selective phosphopeptide enrichment, fractionation by strong cation exchange chromatography (SCX), and analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a high-resolution mass spectrometer (LTQ-Orbitrap XL). The strategy was optimized for the global phosphoproteome analysis of Jurkat T-cells. Using this accelerated workflow, HIFU-TiO2-SCX-LC-MS/MS, 15,367 phosphorylation sites from 13,029 different phosphopeptides belonging to 3,163 different phosphoproteins can be efficiently identified in less than 15h.
