摘要:
There are provided a peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence for simultaneously quantifying absolute amounts of metabolizing enzyme proteins in a biological sample at high sensitivity and a method for using the same. A peptide which can be detected at high sensitivity with a mass spectrometer that enables highly sensitive simultaneous quantification of metabolizing enzymes, intracellular proteins, is selected, and the amino acid sequence thereof is identified. Using a stable-isotope-labeled peptide having the same amino acid sequence as the amino acid sequence of this peptide to be quantified, a mass spectrometry by LC-MS/MS is performed at predetermined concentration levels of the stable-isotope-labeled peptide to create a calibration curve. The stable-isotope-labeled peptide is added to a peptide fragment obtained by fragmenting metabolizing enzyme proteins to be quantified in a sample with trypsin, amass spectrometry by LC-MS/MS is performed to calculate amass spectrum area ratio of the metabolizing enzyme protein peptides to be quantified and the stable-isotope-labeled peptide, and a quantitative value is obtained from the area ratio using the calibration curve.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment in mass spectrometry, which achieves inexpensive and convenient production. As a solution to attain the object, the stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment in mass spectrometry is produced using a method comprising the steps of: expressing a DNA conjugate in a system having a stable isotope-labeled amino acid to thereby prepare a stable isotope-labeled protein, wherein the DNA conjugate comprises: a tandemly linked DNA in which two or more DNAs encoding one or more types of target peptide fragments are linked in tandem; and a DNA encoding a peptide fragment for concentration measurement; subjecting the stable isotope-labeled protein to fragmentation treatment with trypsin to prepare a stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement and stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragments; quantifying the stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement using a liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS); and calculating the concentration of the stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment of each type from the quantification value of the stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement.
