Protein enrichment encompasses numerous techniques to isolate cellular proteins based on their sequence, antibody epitope, post-translational modification (PTM) or active binding site. Protein enrichment is essential for isolating low-abundant proteins and/or reducing sample complexity for proteomic analysis. Enrichment of specific proteins or protein complexes can most easily be accomplished using immunoaffinity techniques such as immunoprecipitation, or through PTM specific affinity binding, such as phosphoprotein enrichment. The novel Thermo Scientific ActivX™ probes and enrichment kits enable the specific targeting of several enzyme classes, including kinases, GTPases, and serine hydrolases.

Enrichment of medium- to low-abundant EGFR-AKT pathway targets using Thermo Scientific Pierce Streptavidin Magnetic Beads for MS analysis. EGFR-AKT pathway targets were immunoprecipitated from two cell lines (A431 and HEK293) with biotinylated antibodies and captured with Pierce Streptavidin Magnetic Beads. IP eluates were digested in-solution, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS to assess sequence coverage and identify isoform-specific peptides.
Western blot and MS workflows for targeted capture and analysis of enzymes. The schematic depicts two parallel workflows for the profiling, capture and detection of kinases, GTPases or serine hydrolases with ActivX Probes. Preincubation of enzymes with inhibitors allows for the determination of inhibitor specificity, binding affinity and potency by Western blot (or fluorescent SDS-PAGE for serine hydrolases only) of probe-labeled proteins or MS of probe-labeled peptides.
