In this study, we showed the occurrence of phosphatidyl-L-threonine (PThr), phosphatidyl-L-aspartate (PAsp), and phosphatidyl-L-glutamate (PGlu) in rat brain. Analyses using an HPLC-ESI-MS and an amino acid analyzer showed the presence of L-threonine, L-aspartate, and L-glutamate in the acid-hydrolysates of phospholipids from porcine cerebrum, rat cerebrum, and rat liver. Results of ESI-MS/MS analyses with neutral loss scanning and product ion scanning suggest the presence of PThr-(18:0, 18:1), PThr-(18:0, 22:6), PAsp-(18:0, 18:1), PAsp-(18:0, 22:6), PGlu-(18:0, 18:1), and PGlu-(18:0, 22:6) in rat brain. This is the first study to identify 2 novel phospholipids, PAsp and PGlu, with a carboxylate-phosphate anhydride bond, in living organisms.
在这项研究中,我们展示了磷脂酰-L-苏氨酸(PThr)、磷脂酰-L-天冬氨酸(PAsp)和磷脂酰-L-谷氨酸(PGlu)在大鼠脑中的存在。使用 HPLC-ESI-MS 和氨基酸分析仪的分析表明,猪脑、鼠脑和鼠肝磷脂酸水解产物中存在 L-苏氨酸、L-天冬氨酸和 L-谷氨酸。中性丢失扫描和产物离子扫描的 ESI-MS/MS 分析结果表明,大鼠脑中存在 PThr-(18:0,18:1)、PThr-(18:0,22:6)、PAsp-(18:0,18:1)、PAsp-(18:0,22:6)、PGlu-(18:0,18:1)和 PGlu-(18:0,22:6)。这是首次在活生物体中鉴定出具有羧酸盐-磷酸酐键的 2 种新型磷脂,PAsp 和 PGlu。
