Abstract

Diverse functions of proteins, including synthesis, catalysis, and signaling, result from their highly variable amino acid sequences. The technology allowing for direct analysis of protein sequences, however, is still unsatisfactory. Recent developments of nanopore sequencing of DNA or RNA have motivated attempts to realize nanopore sequencing of peptides in a similar manner. The core challenge has been to achieve a controlled ratcheting motion of the target peptide, which is currently restricted to a limited choice of compatible enzymes. By constructing peptide–oligonucleotide conjugates (POCs) and measurements with nanopore-induced phase-shift sequencing (NIPSS), direct observation of the ratcheting motion of peptides has been successfully achieved. The generated events show a clear sequence dependence on the peptide that is being tested. The method is compatible with peptides with either a conjugated N- or C-terminus. The demonstrated results suggest a proof of concept of nanopore sequencing of peptide and can be useful for peptide fingerprinting.
