Electron capture dissociation, electron detachment dissociation, and collision-induced dissociation of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer ions with amino, amidoethanol, and sodium carboxylate surface groups.

ABSTRACT: Here, we investigate the effect of the structure (generation) and nature of the surface groups of different polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers on electron-mediated dissociation, either electron capture dissociation (ECD) or electron detachment dissociation (EDD), and compare the fragmentation with that observed in collision-induced dissociation (CID). ECD and EDD of the PAMAM dendrimers resulted in simple mass spectra, which are straightforward to interpret, whereas CID produced complex mass spectra. The results show that electron-mediated dissociation (ECD and EDD) of PAMAM dendrimers does not depend on the nature of the surface group but tends to occur within the innermost generations. CID of the PAMAM dendrimers showed a strong dependence on the nature of the surface group and occurred mostly in the outer generation. The results demonstrate the potential utility of ECD and EDD as a tool for the structural analysis of PAMAM dendrimers.

Project description:Fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) footprinting is a structural mass spectrometry method that maps proteins by fast and irreversible chemical reactions. The position of oxidative modification reflects solvent accessibility and site reactivity and thus provides information about protein conformation, structural dynamics, and interactions. Bottom-up mass spectrometry is an established standard method to analyze FPOP samples. In the bottom-up approach, all forms of the protein are digested together by a protease of choice, which results in mixture of peptides from various subpopulations of proteins with varying degrees of photochemical oxidation. But, once the protein is already oxidized at least once, the spatial distribution of any consecutive oxidation no longer truly reflects initial protein solvent accessibility and residue reactivity, because the site preference of further oxidation may also be influenced by the changes caused by the prior oxidation. Thus, it would be interesting to obtain an assessment of the protein structure based on the FPOP data, by analyzing only singly oxidized protein populations. This requires utilization of more specific top-down mass spectrometry approaches. The key element of any top-down experiment is selection of a suitable method of ion isolation, excitation and fragmentation. Here we employ and compare collision-induced dissociation (CID), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), and electron-capture dissociation (ECD) combined with multi continuous accumulation of selected ions (CASI). Singly oxidized subpopulation of FPOP labeled ubiquitin was used to optimize the method. The usefulness was then demonstrated further by using it to visualize structural changes induced by cofactor removal from holo/apo myoglobin system. The top-down data were compared with the literature and with the bottom-up data set obtained on the same samples. The top-down results were found to be in a good agreement, which indicates that monitoring singly FPOP oxidized ion population by top-down is a functional workflow for oxidative protein footprinting.
