Widespread interest in protein phosphorylation has led to the development of a variety of methods for the analysis of phosphoproteomes of different types of organisms. Many applications involve pretreatment of the sample before mass spectrometric measurement and can crucially improve the detection efficiency of individual phosphopeptides. Despite intense research efforts, separation and extraction of phosphorylated peptides, especially multiphosphorylated ones, remain challenging tasks and need to be further explored and expanded with unconventional approaches. In this study, we describe the application of nonretentive solid-phase extraction (SPE) to the analysis of phosphopeptides using the highly cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene material Strata-X. This study indicates that the procedure allows for the preferential extraction of phosphopeptides regardless of their extent of phosphorylation. The Strata-X material primarily retains nonphosphorylated peptides by hydrophobic interaction, whereas the inherent hydrophilicity of phosphorylated peptides leads to their partitioning into the aqueous phase. Phosphopeptides that were rapidly segregated out of tryptic digest mixtures and collected in the early aqueous fractions generated intense signals in mass spectra. The method was developed using SPE Strata-X columns, then suited for detection and sequencing of phosphopeptides by miniaturizing the system to the scale of custom-made microcolumns. This provided fast isolation of phosphopeptides from protein digests along with direct MALDI on-target deposition. The possibility of on-target washing during sample preparation is also presented.
