Abstract

The formation of zinc finger peptide−Zn2+ complexes in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) wasexamined using three different metal ion sources: ZnCl2, Zn(CH3COO)2, and Zn(OOC(CHOH)2COO). For the four zinc fingerpeptides (Sp1-1, Sp1-3, CF2II-4, and CF2II-6) that bind only a single Zn2+ in the native condition, electrospray of apo-zinc fingerin solution containing ZnCl2 or Zn(CH3COO)2 resulted in the formation of zinc finger−Zn2+ complexes with multiple zincions. This result suggests the formation of nonspecific zinc finger−Zn2+ complexes. Zn(tartrate), Zn(OOC(CHOH)2COO),mainly produced specific zinc finger−Zn2+ complexes with a single zinc ion. This study clearly indicates that tartrate is an excellentcounter ion in ESI-MS studies of zinc finger−Zn2+ complexes, which prevents the formation of nonspecific zinc finger−Zn2+complexes.
