Online nanoflow RP-RP-MS reveals dynamics of multicomponent Ku complex in response to DNA damage.

ABSTRACT: Tandem affinity purification (TAP) coupled with mass spectrometry has become the technique of choice for characterization of multicomponent protein complexes. While current TAP protocols routinely provide high yield and specificity for proteins expressed under physiologically relevant conditions, analytical figures of merit required for efficient and in-depth LC-MS analysis remain unresolved. Here we implement a multidimensional chromatography platform, based on two stages of reversed-phase (RP) separation operated at high and low pH, respectively. We compare performance metrics for RP-RP and SCX-RP for the analysis of complex peptide mixtures derived from cell lysate, as well as protein complexes purified via TAP. Our data reveal that RP-RP fractionation outperforms SCX-RP primarily due to increased peak capacity in the first dimension separation. We integrate this system with miniaturized LC assemblies to achieve true online fractionation at low (?5 nL/min) effluent flow rates. Stable isotope labeling is used to monitor the dynamics of the multicomponent Ku protein complex in response to DNA damage induced by ? radiation.

Project description:Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is a powerful label-free assay for detecting noncovalent biomolecular complexes in vitro and is increasingly used to quantify binding thermochemistry. A common assumption made in ESI-MS affinity measurements is that the relative ion signals of free and bound species quantitatively reflect their relative concentrations in solution. However, this is valid only when the interacting species and their complexes have similar ESI-MS response factors (RFs). For many biomolecular complexes, such as protein-protein interactions, this condition is not satisfied. Existing strategies to correct for nonuniform RFs are generally incompatible with static nanoflow ESI (nanoESI) sources, which are typically used for biomolecular interaction studies, thereby significantly limiting the utility of ESI-MS. Here, we introduce slow mixing mode (SLOMO) nanoESI-MS, a direct technique that allows both the RF and affinity (K d) for a biomolecular interaction to be determined from a single measurement using static nanoESI. The approach relies on the continuous monitoring of interacting species and their complexes under nonhomogeneous solution conditions. Changes in ion signals of free and bound species as the system approaches or moves away from a steady-state condition allow the relative RFs of the free and bound species to be determined. Combining the relative RF and the relative abundances measured under equilibrium conditions enables the K d to be calculated. The reliability of SLOMO and its ease of use is demonstrated through affinity measurements performed on peptide-antibiotic, protease-protein inhibitor, and protein oligomerization systems. Finally, affinities measured for the binding of human and bacterial lectins to a nanobody, a viral glycoprotein, and glycolipids displayed within a model membrane highlight the tremendous power and versatility of SLOMO for accurately quantifying a wide range of biomolecular interactions important to human health and disease.
