We report a fast and easy-to-use procedure that combines polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of fight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and nanoelectrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (nES-MS/MS) analysis for the identification of casein components and defined phosphorylated sites. This methodology ensured identification of more than 30 phosphorylated proteins, five beta-, fifteen alpha(s1)-, ten alpha(s2)-, and four kappa-casein (CN) components, including nonallelic, differently phosphorylated, and glycosylated forms. The sugar motif covalently bound to kappa-CN was identified as chains, trisaccharide GalNAc, Gal, NeuGc, and tetrasaccharide 1 GalNAc, 1Gal, 2NeuGc. Also identified was a biantennary chain made up of both chains of trisaccharide 1GaINAc, 1Gal, 1NeuGc, and tetrasaccharicle 1GalNAC, 1 Gal, 2NeuGc moiety on a single kappa-CN component. The phosphate group on site Ser12 of tryptic peptide 8-22 of most phosphorylated alpha(s1)-CN (11 phosphate groups) was localized and the oligosaccharide sequence of the main tryptic glycopeptides of two kappa-CN components was determined by means of MS/MS analysis.
