A new method to determine N-terminal amino acid sequences of multiple proteins at low pmol level by a parallel processing has been developed. The method contains the following five steps: (1) reduction, S-alkylation and guanidination for targeted proteins; (2) coupling with sulfosuccci-midyl-2-(biotinamido)ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate(sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin) to N-alpha-amino groups of proteins; (3) digestion of the modified proteins by an appropriate protease; (4) specific isolation of N-terminal fragments of proteins by affinity capture using the biotin-avidin system; (5) de novo sequence analysis of peptides by MALDI-TOF-/MALDI-TOF-PSD mass spectrometry with effective utilization of the CAF (chemically assisted fragmentation) method.(1) This method is also effective for N-terminal sequencing of each protein in a mixture of several proteins, and for sequencing components of a multiprotein complex. It is expected to become an essential proteomics tool for 2,3 identifying proteins, especially when used in combination with a C-terminal sequencing method. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
