We have used electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) in combination with protein chemistry and genetics to delineate post-translational modifications in yeast of barley alpha-amylase 1 (AMY1), a 45 kD enzyme crucial for production of malt, an important starting material in the manufacture of beer and whisky. In addition to signal peptide processing these modifications are: (1) removal of C-terminal Arg-Ser by Kex1p, (2) glutathionylation of Cys95, (3) O-glycosylation, and (4) additional degradation of the C-terminus.
我们结合蛋白质化学和遗传学方法,使用电喷雾质谱法(ESMS)来描绘大麦α-淀粉酶1(AMY1)在酵母中的翻译后修饰情况。AMY1是一种45kD的酶,对麦芽的生产至关重要,麦芽是啤酒和威士忌酿造过程中的重要起始原料。除了信号肽加工外,这些修饰包括:(1)Kex1p去除C末端的精氨酸-丝氨酸;(2)半胱氨酸95的谷胱甘肽化;(3)O-糖基化;(4)C末端的额外降解。
