Myofilament proteins are responsible for cardiac contraction. The myofilament subproteome, however, has not been comprehensively analyzed thus far. In the present study, cardiomyocytes were isolated from rodent hearts and stimulated with endothelin-1 and isoproterenol, potent inducers of myofilament protein phosphorylation. Subsequently, cardiomyocytes were "skinned," and the myofilament subproteome was analyzed using a high mass accuracy ion trap tandem mass spectrometer (LTQ Orbitrap XL) equipped with electron transfer dissociation. As expected, a small number of myofilament proteins constituted the majority of the total protein mass with several known phosphorylation sites confirmed by electron transfer dissociation. More than 600 additional proteins were identified in the cardiac myofilament subproteome, including kinases and phosphatase subunits. The proteomic comparison of myofilaments from control and treated cardiomyocytes suggested that isoproterenol treatment altered the subcellular localization of protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B56alpha. Immunoblot analysis of myocyte fractions confirmed that beta-adrenergic stimulation by isoproterenol decreased the B56alpha content of the myofilament fraction in the absence of significant changes for the myosin phosphatase target subunit isoforms 1 and 2 (MYPT1 and MYPT2). Furthermore, immunolabeling and confocal microscopy revealed the spatial redistribution of these proteins with a loss of B56alpha from Z-disc and M-band regions but increased association of MYPT1/2 with A-band regions of the sarcomere following beta-adrenergic stimulation. In summary, we present the first comprehensive proteomics data set of skinned cardiomyocytes and demonstrate the potential of proteomics to unravel dynamic changes in protein composition that may contribute to the neurohormonal regulation of myofilament contraction.

Centralized, standards compliant, public data repository for proteomics data, including protein and peptide identifications, post-translational modifications and supporting spectral evidence. Originally it was developed to provide a common data exchange format and repository to support proteomics literature publications. This remit has grown with PRIDE, with the hope that PRIDE will provide a reference set of tissue-based identifications for use by the community. The future development of PRIDE has become closely linked to HUPO PSI. PRIDE encourages and welcomes direct user submissions of protein and peptide identification data to be published in peer-reviewed publications. Users may Browse public datasets, use PRIDE BioMart for custom queries, or download the data directly from the FTP site. PRIDE has been developed through a collaboration of the EMBL-EBI, Ghent University in Belgium, and the University of Manchester.
View all literature mentionsA software package and server used to identify and characterize proteins from primary sequence databases using mass spectrometry data. Mascot integrates peptide mass fingerprinting, sequence querying, and MS/MS ion searching in order to search for proteins in databases like SwissProt, NCBInr, EMBL EST divisions, contaminants, and cRAP. If a license is purchased, users may: search data sets that exceed the 1200 spectrum limit of the free version; set up automated, high throughput work; add and edit proteins and quantification methods; and search a preferred collection of sequence databases. The software package works with instruments from AB Sciex, Agilent, Bruker, Jeol, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and Waters.
View all literature mentionsA a configurable software package for peptide and protein mass spectrometry analyses. It includes the SEQUEST search algorithm to identify separate proteins in complex mixtures, interactive navigation tools to filter and sort protein summaries, customized spectral plots, and chromatograms using the PEPMATCH and PEPMAP tools. This software also has batch processing capabilities to improve throughput by queuing up several files, and custom-build proprietary databases, index databases, and retrieve databases through a public server.
