Statistical Examination of the a and a + 1 Fragment Ions from 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation Reveals Local Hydrogen Bonding Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Dissociation of proteins and peptides by 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has gained momentum in proteomic studies because of the diversity of backbone fragments that are produced and subsequent unrivaled sequence coverage obtained by the approach. The pathways that form the basis for the production of particular ion types are not completely understood. In this study, a statistical approach is used to probe hydrogen atom elimination from a + 1 radical ions, and different extents of elimination are found to vary as a function of the identity of the C-terminal residue of the a product ions and the presence or absence of hydrogen bonds to the cleaved residue.

Hybrid 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry Localizes Cardiolipin Unsaturations.

Project description:Developing alternative MS/MS strategies to distinguish isomeric lipids has become a high impact goal in shotgun lipidomics. Novel approaches have been developed to resolve structural features that are not discernible by traditional shotgun methods and have consequently promoted the discovery of new disease biomarkers. However, these methods have largely been limited to characterizing lipids with low structural complexity. Here, ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) strategies for phospholipid characterization are expanded for analysis of cardiolipins (CL), a class of phospholipids that exhibits a higher degree of structural complexity. A hybrid collision induced dissociation/193 nm UVPD (CID/UVPD) approach was implemented to pinpoint the location of both double bond and cyclopropyl unsaturations on the four acyl chains of CLs. This strategy was complemented with CID for the de novo elucidation of unknown CLs in biological extracts.

Structural Characterization of Phosphatidylcholines Using 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Advances in mass spectrometry have made it a preferred tool for structural characterization of glycerophospholipids. Collisional activation methods commonly implemented on commercial instruments do not provide fragmentation patterns that allow elucidation of certain structural features, including acyl chain positions on the glycerol backbone and double bond positions within acyl chains. In the present work, 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) implemented on an Orbitrap mass spectrometer is used to localize double bond positions within phosphatidylcholine (PC) acyl chains. Cleavage of the carbon-carbon bonds adjacent to the double bond provides a diagnostic mass difference of 24 Da and enables differentiation of double-bond positional isomers. The UVPD method was extended to the characterization of PCs in a bovine liver extract via a shotgun strategy. Positive mode higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) and UVPD, and negative mode HCD were undertaken in a complementary manner to identify species as PCs and to localize double bonds, respectively.

Impact of charge state on 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation of protein complexes.

Project description:As applications in mass spectrometry continue to expand into the field of structural biology, there have been an increasing number of studies on noncovalent biological assemblies. Ensuring that protein complexes maintain native-like conformations and architectures during the transition from solution to the gas phase is a key aim. Probing composition and arrangement of subunits of multi-charged complexes via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) may lead to protein unfolding and the redistribution of charges on the constituent subunits, leading to asymmetric charge partitioning and ejection of a high-charged monomer. Additionally, the overall dissociation efficiency of many ion activation methods is often suppressed for low charge states, hindering the effectiveness of MS/MS for complexes that have low charge density. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) of proteins using 193 nm photons is a high-energy alternative to collisional activation and demonstrates little to no charge state dependence. Here the symmetry of charge partitioning upon UVPD is evaluated for an array of multimeric protein complexes as a function of initial charge state. The results demonstrate that high laser energies (3 mJ) for UVPD induces more symmetric charge partitioning and ejection of low-charged, presumably compact monomers than higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD).

Ultrafast ultraviolet photodissociation at 193 nm and its applicability to proteomic workflows.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 193 nm was implemented on a linear ion trap mass spectrometer for high-throughput proteomic workflows. Upon irradiation by a single 5 ns laser pulse, efficient photodissociation of tryptic peptides was achieved with production of a, b, c, x, y, and z sequence ions, in addition to immonium ions and v and w side-chain loss ions. The factors that influence the UVPD mass spectra and subsequent in silico database searching via SEQUEST were evaluated. Peptide sequence aromaticity and the precursor charge state were found to influence photodissociation efficiency more so than the number of amide chromophores, and the ion trap q-value and number of laser pulses significantly affected the number and abundances of diagnostic product ions (e.g., sequence and immonium ions). Also, photoionization background subtraction was shown to dramatically improve SEQUEST results, especially when peptide signals were low. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/UVPD strategy was implemented and yielded comparable or better results relative to LC-MS/collision induced dissociation (CID) for analysis of proteolyzed bovine serum albumin and lysed human HT-1080 cytosolic fibrosarcoma cells.

Characterization of Disulfide Linkages in Proteins by 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation (UVPD) Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Deciphering disulfide bond patterns in proteins remains a significant challenge. In the present study, interlinked disulfide bonds connecting peptide chains are homolytically cleaved with 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD). Analysis of insulin showcased the ability of UVPD to cleave multiple disulfide bonds and provide sequence coverage of the peptide chains in the same MS/MS event. For proteins containing more complex disulfide bonding patterns, an approach combining partial reduction and alkylation mitigated disulfide scrambling and allowed assignment of the array of disulfide bonds. The 4 disulfide bonds of lysozyme and the 19 disulfide bonds of serotransferrin were characterized through LC/UVPD-MS analysis of nonreduced and partially reduced protein digests.

Coupling 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation and Ion Mobility for Sequence Characterization of Conformationally-Selected Peptides.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has emerged as a useful technique for characterizing peptide, protein, and protein complex primary and secondary structure. 193 nm UVPD, specifically, enables extensive covalent fragmentation of the peptide backbone without the requirement of a specific side chain chromophore and with no precursor charge state dependence. We have modified a commercial quadrupole-ion mobility-time-of-flight (Q-IM-TOF) mass spectrometer to include 193 nm UVPD following ion mobility. Ion mobility (IM) is a gas-phase separation technique that enables separation of ions by their size, shape, and charge, providing an orthogonal dimension of separation to mass analysis. Following instrument modifications, we characterized the performance of, and information that could be generated from, this new setup using the model peptides substance P, melittin, and insulin chain B. These experiments show extensive fragmentation across the peptide backbone and a variety of ion types as expected from 193 nm UVPD. Additionally, y-2 ions (along with complementary a+2 and b+2 ions) N-terminal to proline were observed. Combining the IM separation and mobility gating capabilities with UVPD, we demonstrate the ability to accomplish both mass- and mobility-selection of bradykinin des-Arg9 and des-Arg1 peptides followed by complete sequence characterization by UVPD. The new capabilities of this modified instrument demonstrate the utility of combining IM with UVPD because isobaric species cannot be independently selected with a traditional quadrupole alone.

Localization of Double Bonds in Bacterial Glycerophospholipids Using 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation in the Negative Mode.

Project description:The need for detailed structural characterization of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) for many types of biologically motivated applications has led to the development of novel mass spectrometry-based methodologies that utilize alternative ion activation methods. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has shown great utility for localizing sites of unsaturation within acyl chains and to date has predominantly been used for positive mode analysis of GPLs. In the present work, UVPD is used to localize sites of unsaturation in GPL anions. Similar to UVPD mass spectra of GPL cations, UVPD of deprotonated or formate-adducted GPLs yields diagnostic fragment ions spaced 24 Da apart. This method was integrated into a liquid chromatography workflow and used to evaluate profiles of sites of unsaturation of lipids in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). When assigning sites of unsaturation, E. coli was found to contain all unsaturation elements at the same position relative to the terminal methyl carbon of the acyl chain; the first carbon participating in a site of unsaturation was consistently seven carbons along the acyl chain when counting carbons from the terminal methyl carbon. GPLs from A. baumannii exhibited more variability in locations of unsaturation. For GPLs containing sites of unsaturation in both acyl chains, an MS3 method was devised to assign sites to specific acyl chains.

193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry for Phosphopeptide Characterization in the Positive and Negative Ion Modes.

Project description:Advances in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) have permitted phosphoproteomic analysis on a grand scale, but ongoing challenges specifically associated with confident phosphate localization continue to motivate the development of new fragmentation techniques. In the present study, ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 193 nm is evaluated for the characterization of phosphopeptides in both positive and negative ion modes. Compared to the more standard higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD), UVPD provided more extensive fragmentation with improved phosphate retention on product ions. Negative mode UVPD showed particular merit for detecting and sequencing highly acidic phosphopeptides from alpha and beta casein, but was not as robust for larger scale analysis because of lower ionization efficiencies in the negative mode. HeLa and HCC70 cell lysates were analyzed by both UVPD and HCD. While HCD identified more phosphopeptides and proteins compared to UVPD, the unique matches from UVPD analysis could be combined with the HCD data set to improve the overall depth of coverage compared to either method alone.

193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry for the structural elucidation of lipid A compounds in complex mixtures.

Project description:Here we implement ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) in an online liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) strategy to support analysis of complex mixtures of lipid A combinatorially modified during development of vaccine adjuvants. UVPD mass spectrometry at 193 nm was utilized to characterize the structures and fragment ion types of lipid A from Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using an Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The fragment ions generated by UVPD were compared to those from collision induced dissociation (CID) and higher energy collision dissociation (HCD) with respect to the precursor charge state. UVPD afforded the widest array of fragment ion types including acyl chain C-O, C-N, and C-C bond cleavages and glycosidic C-O and cross ring cleavages, thus providing the most comprehensive structural analysis of the lipid A. UVPD exhibited virtually no dependence on precursor ion charge state and was best at determining lipid A structure including acyl chain length and composition, giving it an advantage over collision based methods. UVPD was incorporated into an LC-MS/MS methodology for the analysis of a number of structural variants in a complex mixture of combinatorially engineered Escherichia coli lipid A.

Top-down 193-nm ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of polyubiquitin chain length and topology.

Project description:Protein ubiquitin modifications present a vexing analytical challenge, because of the dynamic changes in the site of modification on the substrate, the number of ubiquitin moieties attached, and the diversity of linkage patterns in which they are attached. Presented here is a method to confidently assign size and linkage type of polyubiquitin modifications. The method combines intact mass measurement to determine the number of ubiquitin moieties in the chain with backbone fragmentation by 193-nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) to determine the linkage pattern. UVPD fragmentation of proteins leads to reproducible backbone cleavage at almost every inter-residue position, and in polyubiquitin chains, the N-terminally derived fragments from each constituent monomer are identical, up to the site of conjugation. The N-terminal ubiquitin fragment ions are superimposed to create a diagnostic pattern that allows easy recognition of the dominant chain linkages. The method is demonstrated by achieving almost-complete fragmentation of monoubiquitin and then, subsequently, fragmentation of dimeric, tetrameric, and longer Lys48- and Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains. The utility of the method for the analysis of mixed linkage chains is confirmed for mixtures of Lys48 and Lys63 tetramers with known relative concentrations and for an in vitro-formulated ubiquitin chain attached to a substrate protein.
