摘要
Because UV irradiation of proteins can produce reactive oxygen species and exposure to UV light has been implicated in cataractogenesis, the sites of photooxidation of bovine alpha-crystallin, a major lens protein with molecular chaperone activity, were identified using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), Bovine alpha-crystallin was irradiated with UV light (>293 nm) for 1, 4 and 8 h, digested with trypsin and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI) to identify the oxidized sequences, Tryptic peptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and oxidized peptides were sequenced by MS/MS to determine the sites of oxidation, Tryptophan fluorescence decreased exponentially with increasing time of UV exposure and peptides containing residues 1-11 of alpha A-crystallin and 1-11, 12-22 and 57-69 of alpha B-crystallin were determined to be oxidized by shifts of 16 D or multiples of 16 Da above the mass of the unmodified peptide, The MALDI analysis revealed single oxidation of all four sequences, which increased with increasing time of UV exposure and possible double oxidation of alpha B 12-22, The specific sites of photooxidation indicate that the N-terminal regions of alpha A- and alpha B-crystallin are exposed to an aqueous environment and are in the vicinity of tryptophan residues from neighboring subunits.
