Edman degradation and Q-TOF analyses of spots 4, 5 and 6.
(A) Edman degradation of protein spots 4, 5 and 6 showed that these proteins share the same 20 N-terminal amino acids, which indicated that Hsc70 may be truncated at 271 amino acids. The twenty sequenced amino acids are bolded. The peptide TACERAK detected by MS/MS and its m/z values (835.39) are indicated. (B) Representative CID MS/MS peak view of the precursor 599.35. The sequence identified was the 465–475 peptide of GhHsc70, with the b and y ions shown. The Y1 ion had a MW of 189.14 kDa, which was 13.98 kDa greater than the theoretical MW of arginine, indicating a potential methylation modification on R475.
