  • Publication number: 20150147765
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing cancer using information on the aberrant glycosylation of a glycoprotein involved in cancer progress. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cancer diagnosis peptide marker which is screened by the steps of: separating a glycoprotein aberrantly glycosylated according to the occurrence and progress of cancer from the blood of a lung cancer patient by using lectin; and selecting a marker peptide produced by the hydrolysis of the glycoprotein isolated by lectin. The marker peptide can be effectively used as a cancer diagnosis marker and for the diagnosis of cancer.

  • Publication number: 20120107858
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cancer diagnosis method using peptides containing information on the glycosylation of a glycoprotein involving cancer development. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cancer diagnosis method which obtains peptides from the glycoprotein involving cancer development through a hydrolysis process using an enzyme, and quantitatively detects, from among the thus-obtained peptides, glycosylation-related specific peptides which are influenced by the glycosylation of proteins and show specific quantitative changes in the hydrolysis process, to thereby select glycosylation-related specific peptides which show specific quantitative changes in accordance with cancer development. The cancer diagnosis method of the present invention uses the thus-selected glycosylation-related specific peptides as a marker.

  • Patent number: 7629744
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for phosphorylation site-specific labeling of phosphoproteome with a site-specific tagging reagent and analyzing of the resulting labeled one, more especially, a method for in-situ tagging of phosphorylation sites of phosphoproteins retained in polymeric gel with a nucleophilic tagging reagent. It also relates a method for generating new proteolytic cleavable sites at formerly phosphorylation sites by a proper choice of a nucleophilic tagging reagent. It also relates to a method for phosphopeptides analysis and phosphorylation site identification by in-gel digestion of the previously in-gel tagged proteins and subsequent mass analysis of the resulting peptides. The invention provides in-gel chemical tagging method for phosphoaminoacid residue of phosphoproteins retained in polymeric gel matrix. Phosphoprotein can be immobilized into gel matrix by a variety of methods such as gel electrophoresis.

  • Patent number: 7250266
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of analyzing mass of the phosphoproteins or phosphopeptides and of analyzing phosphorylated positions at a phosphoprotein or phosphopeptide, comprising the steps of: 1) dephosphorylating at least one Ser and/or Thr residue of the phosphoprotein or phosphopeptide; 2) tagging the dephosphorylated amino acid residues with a tag having a R-L-G moiety wherein R is a nucleophilic functional group that selectively bind with dephosphorylated amino acid residues, G is selected from the group consisting of guanidine moiety or protected guanidine moiety such as a mono-N-protected guanidino group, a di-N,N?-protected guanidino group and an N?-protected guanidino group, and L is a linker linking the R and the G; and 3) subjecting the tagged proteins or peptides to mass spectrometry. The method is capable of precisely analyzing mass of phosphoproteins of trace amounts as well as positions of phosphoryated amino acids.
