Abstract

A novel method using QconCAT protein combined with 18O-labeling technique and multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry was established to quantify proteins involved in the pathway of adipose synthesis and β-oxidation. Firstly, the QconCAT proteins were constructed, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The digestion and the 18O labeling efficiency were optimized. Secondly, the novel method of quantifying adipose synthesis and β-oxidation was developed. Lastly, target proteins of obesity and control groups were quantified by MRM. The results showed that the abundance of the enoyl ACP reductase and malonyl-COA ACP transferase increased significantly in the obesity group with P<0.05. It is consistent to previous reports and means the method had its reliability to analyze the biological sample.
