Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently fractionate the subject fragment by acetylating epsilon-amino group of Lys of a peptide in which the N-terminal a-amino group is blocked, subsequently applying an enzymatic treatment thereto, fractionating the resultant fragment onto a membrane, etc., and fixing it using a condensation agent. CONSTITUTION:epsilon-amino group of Lys of a peptide in which the amino-terminal (N-terminal) alpha-amino group is blocked is acetylated and the acetylated peptide is chemically and/or enzymatically treated. The respective obtained fragments are reacted with a solid having functional groups capable of forming a covalent bond through a reaction with an alpha-amino group or epsilon-amino group of Lys in each fragment. Free-N-terminal fragments are then fractionated on a polymer membrane or a glass-fiber filter medium respectively modified with an allylamine type functional group and the fractionated N-terminal fragments are fixed by a covalent bond through a carboxylic group in the N-terminal fragment to the polymer membrane or the glass-fiber filter medium by using a water-soluble carbodiimide, etc. Thus, the objective, N-terminal fragment of the peptide can be obtained.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the fractionation of peptide-terminal fragments for the purpose of analyzing the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid sequences of peptides, mechanical loss and contamination have been There are problems that it is easy to occur, that the operation is complicated, that a relatively large amount of sample is required, and that there is uncertainty in sequencing. As an improved method that overcomes these drawbacks, a method for fractionating the C-terminal peptide is as follows:
After the peptide is cleaved with a Lys-C specific cleaving enzyme, it is bound to a solid having a functional group capable of reacting with the α-amino group and the ε-amino group of each resulting fragment to form a covalent bond, and then the α of each peptide is bound. A method is known in which a peptide bond between an amino-terminal amino acid residue and an adjacent amino acid residue is cleaved by acid treatment to separate a free C-terminal peptide (JP-A-1-235600),
Further, the same publication discloses that the C-terminal peptide obtained by this fractionation method can be used for amino acid sequence analysis by various amino acid sequence analysis methods.

According to the fractionation method of the present invention, it is possible to fractionate an N-terminal fragment even from a very small amount of sample, and the sequence can be directly analyzed by mass spectrometry without immobilizing it on a membrane. It is possible to determine, and it is also possible to perform subsequent treatment with an acylamino acid-releasing enzyme before amino acid sequence analysis. In addition, since fractionation and immobilization of fragments can be performed rapidly in the same container and the obtained immobilization product can be directly attached to the reactor of the analyzer used for amino acid sequence analysis, there is no risk of contamination. It has the advantage that it is extremely small and also has little mechanical loss. That is, by providing the method of the present invention, it became possible to fractionate and immobilize the N-terminal fragment of a sample semi-automatically.

1. A peptide obtained by acetylating the ε-amino group of Lys in a peptide in which the α-amino group at the amino terminus (N-terminus) is blocked, and chemically and / or enzymatically treating the acetylated product. Each fragment was reacted with a solid having a functional group capable of reacting with the α-amino group of each fragment and the ε-amino group of Lys to form a covalent bond, and then the free N-terminal fragment was derivatized with an allylamine type functional group. The polymer film or the glass fiber is separated on a polymer film or a glass fiber filter paper, and the separated N-terminal fragment is subjected to a carboxyl group in the N-terminal fragment using a water-soluble carbodiimide or the like. A method for fractionating a peptide N-terminal fragment, which comprises immobilizing it on a filter paper by a covalent bond.
