The kinome is a dynamic system of kinases regulating signaling networks in cells and dysfunction of protein kinases contributes to many diseases. Regulation of the protein expression of kinases alters cellular responses to environmental changes and perturbations. We configured a library of 672 proteotypic peptides to quantify >300 kinases in a single LC-MS experiment using ten micrograms protein from human tissues including biopsies. This enables absolute quantitation of kinase protein abundance at attomole-femtomole expression levels, requiring no kinase enrichment and less than ten micrograms of starting protein from flash-frozen and formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Breast cancer biopsies, organoids, and cell lines were analyzed using the SureQuant method, demonstrating the heterogeneity of kinase protein expression across and within breast cancer clinical subtypes. Kinome quantitation was coupled with nanoscale phosphoproteomics, providing a feasible method for novel clinical diagnosis and understanding of patient kinome responses to treatment.
