In large scale mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics, a current bottleneck is the unambiguous assignment of the phosphorylation site within the peptide. An additional problem is that it has been reported that under conditions wherein peptide ions are collisionally activated the phosphate group may migrate to a nearby phosphate group acceptor, thus causing ambiguity in site assignment. Here, we generated and analyzed a statistically significant number of phosphopeptides. Starting with a human cell lysate, we obtained via strong cation exchange fractionation nearly pure phosphopeptide pools from trypsin and Lys-N digestions. These pools were subjected to nano-LC-MS using an Orbitrap mass spectrometer that is equipped with both CID and electron transfer dissociation with supplemental activation (ETcaD) functionality. We configured a method to obtain sequentially both ETcaD and CID spectra for each peptide ion. We exploited the resistant nature of ETcaD toward rearrangement of phosphate groups to evaluate whether there is potentially phosphate group relocation occurring during CID. We evaluated a number of peptide and spectral annotation properties and found that for ∼75% of the sequenced phosphopeptides the assigned phosphosite was unmistakably identical for both the ETcaD and CID spectra. For the remaining 25% of the sequenced phosphopeptides, we also did not observe evident signs of relocation, but these peptides exhibited signs of ambiguity in site localization, predominantly induced by factors such as poor fragmentation, sequences causing inefficient fragmentation, and generally poor spectrum quality. Our data let us derive the conclusion that both for trypsin- and Lys-N-generated peptides there is little relocation of phosphate groups occurring during CID.

Signaling events, many of which are regulated by dynamic protein phosphorylation, form the basis of inter- and intracellular communication. Cellular activation, for instance, by a specific activation of a membrane receptor often induces changes in phosphorylation in that receptor but also in hundreds of other proteins connected to that receptor in downstream pathways. Obtaining in-depth phosphopeptide profiles consisting of significant numbers of sites on thousands of proteins has now become accessible to the specialized proteomics community (1Reinders J. Sickmann A. State-of-the-art in phosphoproteomics.Proteomics. 2005; 5: 4052-4061Crossref PubMed Scopus (299) Google Scholar). A number of key technologies and strategies have led to this breakthrough. Peptide complexity reduction and/or phosphopeptide enrichment can be considered to be one of the most improved aspects of these phosphoproteomics profiling methodologies. A classic strategy for a phosphoproteome screen is to perform a fractionation of the sample followed by enrichment using a reagent with affinity for the phosphate group (2Gruhler A. Olsen J.V.
