Abstract
Poster PresentationConference theme: Proteomics: Better for lifeMultidimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) which multiples the resolution power of individual dimension with high orthogonality
is a very efficient front-end separation method for analyzing the digests of complex biological samples. Among the existing two
dimensional liquid chromatography (2DLC) systems, the combination of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)
followed by low-pH reversed-phase (RP)LC (HILIC-RP) has very high orthogonality and is a very promising 2DLC method. Herein,
a fully automatable two-dimensional (2D) liquid chromatography system was developed for shotgun proteomics analyses, which
coupling the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) TSKgel Amide 80 (a non-ionic type) with the low-pH reversedphase
(RP) chromatography. The performance of the 2D HILIC-RP LC platform was investigated at both pH 6.8 (neutral pH) and
pH 2.7 (acidic pH) of the first dimension HILIC column by duplicate analyses of a Rat pheochromocytoma lysates.Online coupling
of the neutral-pH HILIC and RP systems outperformedthe acidic HILIC–RP combination,resulting in 18.4% (1914 versus 1617 nonredundant
proteins) and 41.6% (12,989 versus 9172unique peptides) increases in the number of identified proteins and peptides.
To further test the established 2D HILIC-RP platform, we identified 2648 non-redundant proteins from triplicate analyses of a
Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysate, with the detected protein abundances spanning from approximately41 to 106 copies per cell,
which contained up to 2164 different validated protein species with a dynamic range of concentrations up to approximately 104.
Herein, this studyestablished a fully automated 2D liquid chromatography platform to enable onlinecoupling of different HILIC and
RP chromatography systems, thereby expanding the choice and application of multidimensional liquid chromatography for shotgun
proteomics.published_or_final_versio
