A recently developed titanium dioxide (TiO2) based on-target method for phosphopeptide enrichment and matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) analysis was used to investigate phosphorylations in the Adenovirus type 2 structural protein pIIIa. Lysates of purified virus particles were separated on 1-D SDS-PAGE and the band for the pIIIa protein was excised for tryptic digestion into peptides that were enriched with the on-target method. The enrichment provided by the method clearly improved the detectability of phosphorylated peptides and the results show for the first time evidence for multi-phosphorylated peptides in pIIIa. Moreover, three novel phosphorylations were identified in the protein sequence, even though the precise positions could not be determined. These results illustrate the potential of the method for the characterization of novel phosphoproteomes in biological samples of medical relevance.

Phosphorylation of proteins is important for controlling cellular signaling and cell cycle regulatory events. The process is reversible and phosphoproteins normally constitute a minor part of the global proteome in a cell. Thus, sample preparation techniques tailored for phosphoproteome studies are continuously invented and evaluated. This paper aims at evaluating the performances of the most popular techniques for phospho-enrichments in sub-proteome analysis, such as viral proteomes expressed in human cells during infection. A two-species sample of Adenovirus type 2 infected human cells was used, and in-solution digestion, strong cation exchange (SCX), and electrostatic repulsion hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) fractionation, and subsequent enrichment by TiO2, were compared with SDS-PAGE fractionation and in-gel digestion. Evaluation was focused on phosphopeptide detection in the sub-proteome. The results showed that the SCX+TiO2 or ERLIC+TiO2 combinations had the highest enrichment efficiencies, but SDS-PAGE fractionation and in-gel digestion resulted in the highest number of identified proteins and phosphopeptides. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the usefulness of applying as many orthogonal techniques as possible in deep phosphoproteome analysis, since the overlap between approaches was low.
