1 To whom correspondence should be addressed. e-mail: tvaisar{at}u.washington.edu There is intense interest in comprehensive proteomic approaches for analyzing integral membrane proteins and lipoproteins. Key features of mass spectrometric analysis center on enriching biological material for proteins of interest, efficiently digesting them, extracting the resulting peptides, and using fractionation methods to comprehensively sample proteins or peptides by tandem mass spectrometry. However, lipid-associated proteins are generally rich in hydrophobic domains and are often low in abundance. These features, together with the associated lipid, make their mass spectrometric analysis technically challenging. In this article, we review analytical strategies for successful proteomic analysis of lipid-associated proteins.
Supplementary key words integral membrane proteins lipoproteins mass spectrometry Abbreviations: apo, apolipoprotein; 2DE, two-dimensional electrophoresis; IDL, intermediate density lipoprotein; LC, liquid chromatography; MS, mass spectrometry; MS/MS, tandem mass spectrometry; SELDI, surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization
