Peroxide bond driven dissociation of hydroperoxy-cholesterol esters following collision induced dissociation.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative modification of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which occurs through enzymatic and nonenzymatic processes, is typically initiated by the attachment of molecular oxygen to an unsaturated fatty acyl chain forming a lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH). Enzymatic pathways are critical for cellular homeostasis but aberrant lipid peroxidation has been implicated in important pathologies. Analysis of primary oxidation products such as hydroperoxides has proven to be challenging for a variety of reasons. While negative ion electrospray ionization has been used for the specific detection of some LOOH species, hydroperoxide dehydration in the ion source has been a significant drawback. Here we describe positive ion electrospray ionization of ammoniated 13-hydroperoxy-9Z, 11E-octadecadienoyl cholesterol and 9-hydroperoxy-10E, 12Z-octadecadienoyl cholesterol, [M + NH(4)](+), following normal phase high-pressure liquid-chromatography. Dehydration in the ion source was not prevalent and the ammoniated molecular ion was the major species observed. Collisionally induced dissociation of the two positional isomers yielded unique product ion spectra resulting from carbon-carbon cleavages along their acyl chains. Further investigation of this behavior revealed that complex collision induced dissociations were initiated by scission of the hydroperoxide bond that drove subsequent acyl chain cleavages. Interestingly, some of the product ions retained the ammonium nitrogen through the formation of covalent carbon-nitrogen or oxygen-nitrogen bonds. These studies were carried out using hydroperoxy-octadecadienoate cholesteryl esters as model compounds, however the observed mechanisms of [LOOH + NH(4)](+) ionization and dissociation are likely applicable to the analysis of other lipid hydroperoxides and may serve as the basis for selective LOOH detection as well as aid in the identification of unknown lipid hydroperoxides.

Project description:We present a workflow using an ETD-optimised version of Mascot Percolator and a modified version of SLoMo (turbo-SLoMo) for analysis of phosphoproteomic data. We have benchmarked this against several database searching algorithms and phosphorylation site localisation tools and show that it offers highly sensitive and confident phosphopeptide identification and site assignment with PSM-level statistics, enabling rigorous comparison of data acquisition methods. We analysed the Plasmodium falciparum schizont phosphoproteome using for the first time, a data-dependent neutral loss-triggered-ETD (DDNL) strategy and a conventional decision-tree method. At a posterior error probability threshold of 0.01, similar numbers of PSMs were identified using both methods with a 73% overlap in phosphopeptide identifications. The false discovery rate associated with spectral pairs where DDNL CID/ETD identified the same phosphopeptide was <1%. 72% of phosphorylation site assignments using turbo-SLoMo without any score filtering, were identical and 99.8% of these cases are associated with a false localisation rate of <5%. We show that DDNL acquisition is a useful approach for phosphoproteomics and results in an increased confidence in phosphopeptide identification without compromising sensitivity or duty cycle. Furthermore, the combination of Mascot Percolator and turbo-SLoMo represents a robust workflow for phosphoproteomic data analysis using CID and ETD fragmentation.Biological significanceProtein phosphorylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that regulates protein function. Mass spectrometry-based approaches have revolutionised its analysis on a large-scale but phosphorylation sites are often identified by single phosphopeptides and therefore require more rigorous data analysis to unsure that sites are identified with high confidence for follow-up experiments to investigate their biological significance. The coverage and confidence of phosphoproteomic experiments can be enhanced by the use of multiple complementary fragmentation methods. Here we have benchmarked a data analysis pipeline for analysis of phosphoproteomic data generated using CID and ETD fragmentation and used it to demonstrate the utility of a data-dependent neutral loss triggered ETD fragmentation strategy for high confidence phosphopeptide identification and phosphorylation site localisation.
