RemovalofSilverStainBeforetheproteinsaredigested,theCoomassieorsilverstainmustberemovedfromthegel.- Ifproteinswerevisualizedbysilverstain,firstremovesilverstain(steps1-3).However,ifproteinswerevisualizedbyCoomassie,beginatstep4.Ifthesilver-stainedgelslicewasstoredinaceticacid,removethestoragesolutionandrinsetheslicewithwater.
- Foreachgelslice,preparea30-mMsolutionofK3Fe(CN)6anda100-mMsolutionofNa2S2O3·5H2O.Mix200µlofeachsolutiontogether(total400µl)andtransferthemixturetothemicrofugetubecontainingthegelpiece.Incubatefor5minwithgentlevortexing.
- Removetheliquidandwasheachgelslice3timeswith500µlofwater.Incubatetheslicesin100µlof100mMNH4HCO3for30min.Discardtheliquidandproceedwithstep4.
RemovalofCoomassieStainingandTreatmentofGelSlices - Atthispoint,thegelslicesareeitherstainedwithCoomassieorhavejusthadthesilverstainremoved.Ineithercase,washthegelsliceswithwaterfor15min.Allstepsshouldbeperformedwithlightvortexing.Thevolumeofsolventsaddedinthewashandelutionstepsshouldbetwicethatofthecutgelpieces(~100µl).
- Removetheliquidremainingfromstep4andadd100µlofwater,andthen100µlofacetonitriletothegelpieces.Incubatefor15minatroomtemperature.
- Removetheliquidandaddasufficientvolumeofacetonitriletocoverthegelpieces(~100µl).Thepieceswilldehydrate,shrinkingandturningwhiteandsticky.Afterthis,removetheacetonitrile.
- Rehydratetheslicesbyadding100µlof100mMNH4HCO3.Wait5min,andthenadd100µlofacetonitrile.Incubatefor15minatroomtemperature.IfCoomassiestainingwasusedtovisualizetheproteinsandastrongbluecolorpersists,incubateforafurther15minwithcontinuousgentlevortexing.Removetheliquidanddrydownthegelpiecesinaspeedvacuumfor15min.
Reduction,Alkylation,andIn-gelDigestion - Rehydratethegelpiecesusingasufficientvolumeof10mMTCEPin100mMNH4HCO3tocoverthem(~100µl).Incubatefor20-30minatroomtemperature.
- Removetheliquidandquicklyaddthesamevolume(~100µl)of55mMIAAin100mMNH4HCO3.Incubatefor30minatroomtemperatureinthedark.ItisimportantthattheIAAisfreshlyprepared.
- Removetheliquidanddehydratethegelbyadding100µlofacetonitrile.Afterthegelpieceshaveshrunkandturnedwhiteandsticky,removetheacetonitrile.Add100µlof100mMNH4HCO3andincubatefor5minatroomtemperaturetoallowrehydration.
- Add100µlofacetonitriletocreatea1:1mixof100mMNH4HCO3andacetonitrile,andincubatefor15min.
- Removetheliquidanddrythegelslicescompletelyinaspeedvacuum,foratleast30min.Rehydratein100µlofdigestionbuffercontaining12.5mg/mltrypsin.Incubteat37°Covernight.
ExtractionofPeptides - Centrifugethetrypsindigestsbrieflyinamicrocentrifugeandtransferthepeptides(inthesupernatant)toa0.5-mlmicrofugetubeandreserve.Inthemeantime,add100µlof25mMNH4HCO3tothegelpieces(makesuretheyarecoveredbythesolution)andincubatefor15min.Thenadd100µlofacetonitrileandincubateforafurther15min.
- Recovertheliquidandtransferittothe0.5-mltubecontainingthepeptides.Begindryingthepeptidesinaspeedvacuum,whilecontinuingwithsteps14and15.Add100µlof5%formicacidtothegelslicesandincubatefor15min.Next,add100µlofacetonitriletotheslicesandincubatefor15min.
- Recoverthesupernatantfromtheslicesandtransferittothe0.5-mltubecontainingthepeptides.Repeatstep14.Continuedryingthesampleinthe0.5-mlmicrofugetubeinthespeedvacuumfor~2hr,untilthereisonly10µlremaining.Atthispoint,thepeptidesarereadyforanalysis.AnalysiscanbedonebyESIMS,ESIMS/MS(tandemMS),orMALDI/TOF.
