This work is focused on the interactome study of 14-3-3ζ protein, a regulatory protein found in all eucaryotic cells. An important 14-3-3 protein feature is the ability to bind a number of structurally and functionally distinct protein ligands. This link is usually implemented through phosphorylated serine and threonine motifs. The first aim of this work is the preparation of sufficient amount of recombinant 14-3-3ζ protein with incorporated photoactivatable analogue of methionine (foto-Met, L-2-amino-5,5- azihexan acid). The four different conditions of recombinant expression in auxotrophic E. coli B834 (DE3) strain were tested to obtain a protein with a maximal rate of photoactivatable methionine analogue incorporation into the sequence 14-3-3 protein. The second aim is to study the methionine 121, 160 and 218 participation in the 14-3-3ζ protein binding groove and finding of potential covalent bond with the phosphorylated peptide 251-266 of Raf-1 kinase (phosphorylation on Ser259). The photo-initiated cross-linking method was used (photolysis), to form a reactive biradical of methionine analogue capable to attack any amino acid residues in close vicinity (till 5Å). Finally, the products of photo-initiated cross-linking were analyzed by cross-linking reactions using MALDI-TOF MS, LC-MS and...
