Mass spectrometry sequencing by fragmentation of peptides. Cell
surface expressed MX35 antigen was isolated from two different MX35
antigen-positive cell lines, OVCAR-3 and SK-RC-18, by immunoprecipitation
following metabolic labeling of proteins with 35S methionine
and 35S cysteine. (A) SDS-PAGE of MX35 immune complexes
labeled with 35S and visualized by autoradiofluorography
or by silver staining. Monoclonal antibody MX35 precipitated the
antigen in two forms, band #1 and #2, differing
in size. (B) Peptide mass fingerprinting of trypsin digested Lys-tagged
and sulfonated protein. (C) Sequence of the sodium-dependent phosphate
transporter 2b protein. Peptides detected by mass spectrometry are
shown in bold. The putative disulfide-bonded loop (aa 303-350) is
also shown. The region containing the epitope recognized by mAb
MX35 is shown in italics. Asparagine (N) residues that are probable N-linked
glycosylation sites are shown in capital letters.
