N2 - Complete phosphorylation mapping of protein kinases was successfully undertaken using an automated LC/MS/MS approach. This method uses the direct combination of triple quadrupole and ion trapping capabilities in a hybrid triple quadrupole linear ion trap to selectively identify and sequence phosphorylated peptides. In particular, the use of a precursor ion scan of m/z -79 in negative ion mode followed by an ion trap high resolution scan (an enhanced resolution scan) and a high sensitivity MS/MS scan (enhanced product ion scan) in positive mode is a very effective method for identifying phosphorylation sites in proteins at low femtomole levels. Coupling of this methodology with a stable isotope N-terminal labeling strategy using iTRAQ™ reagents enabled phosphorylation mapping and relative protein phosphorylation levels to be determined between the active and inactive forms of the protein kinase MAPKAPK-1 in the same LC/MS run.
