Abstract
The size-exclusion (SEC) fractionation of Fe-binding biomolecules from the northern pike hepatic cytosol, using HPLC coupled to ICP-MS, revealed that numerous proteins participate in Fe-cellular metabolism. Since cytosolic Co/Mo-binding biomolecules have similar masses to those binding Fe, two-dimensional separation (anion-exchange (AEX) and SEC) was applied prior to mass spectrometry analyses. The Fe-fraction with AEX-maximum at 9.2 min (SEC-estimated molecular mass: 53.3 kDa) was revelaed by MALDI-TOF-MS to contain peaks at 16.05, 32.12, and 48.19 kDa, indicating hemoglobin monomer, dimer and trimer. LC-MS/MS investigation with database search confirmed presence of hemoglobin -subunit (comparable to subunits from Esox lucius and Oncorhyncus nerka). The Fe-fraction with AEX-maximum at 10.6 min (SEC-estimated molecular mass: 360 kDa) was, by comparison with apoferritin standard, hypothesized to contain ferritin, the primary Fe-storage protein. The combination of mass spectrometry analyses with multidimensional chromatographic separation proves to be promising tool for gaining better insight in cellular behaviour of metals.
