Abstract
The specific enrichment of multi-phosphopeptides in the presence of non-phosphopeptides and mono-phosphopeptides was still a challenge for phosphoproteomics research. Most of these enrichment materials relied on Zn, Ti, Sn, and other rare precious metals as the bonding center to enrich multi-phosphopeptides while ignoring the use of common metal elements. The addition of rare metals increased the cost of the experiment, which was not conducive to their large-scale application in biomedical proteomics laboratories. In addition, multiple high-speed centrifugation steps also resulted in the loss of low-abundance multi-phosphopeptides in the treatment procedure of biological samples. This study proposed the use of calcium, a common element, as the central bonding agent for synthesizing magnetic calcium phosphate materials (designated as CaP-Fe3O4). These materials aim to capture multi-phosphopeptides and identifying phosphorylation sites. The current results demonstrate that CaP-Fe3O4 exhibited excellent selection specificity, high sensitivity, and stability in the enrichment of multi-phosphopeptides and the identification of phosphorylation sites. Additionally, the introduction of magnetic separation not only reduced the time required for multi-phosphopeptides enrichment but also prevented the loss of these peptides during high-speed centrifugation. These findings contribute to the widespread application and advancement of phosphoproteomics research.
