Hotel Description

The Proteomics Center at Erasmus MC develops mass spectrometry based proteomics methodologies for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of (sub)proteomes and provides proteomics services for the Erasmus MC scientific community and for external researchers. Research projects in our laboratory focus on the elucidation of protein complex composition, the analysis of protein posttranslational modifications and on the analysis of proteomes and their dynamic behavior, both in cell cultures and tissue. For quantitation purposes we use SILAC, post-digestion (isobaric) labeling protocols and label free quantitation. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop analytical tools to better understand how cellular processes are controlled at the molecular level.

Expertise and Track Record

Customers are always welcome to discuss ideas and possibilities. If necessary, customers will be guided starting from the experimental design phase through the interpretation of data. For identification or your proteins and PTMs, we provide a vast array of different mass spectrometry analyses, including:

** Proteolytic digestion with a variety of proteases: in-gel, ‘in-tube-gel’, in-solution, whole cell lysate in high molar urea or MS compatible detergents, etc.

** Sample clean-up and pre-fractionation by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), isoelectric focusing (IEF), strong cation exchange (SCX), strong anion exchange (SAX), etc.

** Phosphopeptide enrichment by TiO2; diGly, methylated, acetylated, etc. peptide enrichment by antibodies

** Multidimensional nanoflow LC-MS/MS(/MS) (mass spectrometers: Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid, Q Exactive Plus, 2 x LTQ-Orbitrap XL (ETD), LTQ (all Thermo), Xevo Q-ToF, Xevo TQ (Waters))

** Intact protein mass spectrometry / native mass spectrometry

** Database searching (software: Mascot, MaxQuant, TheGPM, Scaffold, PEAKS, …)

** Data analysis, reporting and interpretation. Additional informatics services and use of in-house developed software are optional.

A comparison between transcriptomics and proteomics data was performed in a Drosophila cell system, which was stimulated with an insect hormone:
