Native mass spectrometric analysis of TPR2A and GrpE with unpurified peptides derived from limited proteolysis of their respective PPI partners (HSP90 C-terminus and DnaK) facilitated efficient, qualitative identification of interfacial epitopes involved in transient PPI formation. Application of this approach can assist in elucidating interfaces of currently uncharacterised transient PPIs.
利用未经纯化的肽段(分别来自 HSP90 C 端和 DnaK 与 TPR2A 和 GrpE 的部分酶解产物)进行天然质谱分析,有助于高效、定性地鉴定瞬时蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用形成过程中涉及的界面表位。该方法的应用有助于阐明目前尚未明确的瞬时蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用界面。
