In this article, a novel and sensitive analytical strategy for direct characterization of neuropeptides from the X-Organ-sinus gland neurosecretory system of the crayfish Orconectes limosus is presented. A desalted extract corresponding to 0.5 sinus gland equivalents was analyzed in a nanoflow liquid chromatography system coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-QTOF MS/MS). The existence and structural identity of four crustacean hyperglycemic hormone precursor-related peptide variants and two new genetic variants of the pigment-dispersing hormone, not detected by conventional chromatographic systems, molecular cloning, or immunochemical methods before, was revealed. The here-presented approach of the combined LC-QTOF MS/MS technique is a powerful tool to discover new peptide hormones in biological systems, due to its sensitivity, accuracy, and speed.
