Laboratory exercise:
The participants will be divided into smaller groups of 3-4 people. As shown above, the laboratory course will be executed with as much hands on for the participants as possible. However, operation of expensive mass spectrometers will be performed by skilled operators. The participants will be performing a large variety of phosphopeptide enrichment methods, including IMAC, TiO2, SIMAC and PAC on standard peptide samples originating from 12 proteins. The purified phosphopeptides will be analyzed by the participants on our MALDI MS instruments. The participants will be performing a large scale phosphoproteomics experiments where they will purify, identify and quantify phosphopeptides from un-stimulated HeLa cells and HeLa cells after 5 min stimulation with EGF. These cells will be labeled with SILAC for quantitation using various software’s. The participants will become familiar with bioinformatics tools for phosphopeptide identification and quantitation and in addition they will be testing various software’s for pathway analysis and kinase prediction.
