Optimized fragmentation schemes and data analysis strategies for proteome-wide cross-link identification.

ABSTRACT: We describe optimized fragmentation schemes and data analysis strategies substantially enhancing the depth and accuracy in identifying protein cross-links using non-restricted whole proteome databases. These include a novel hybrid data acquisition strategy to sequence cross-links at both MS2 and MS3 level and a new algorithmic design XlinkX v2.0 for data analysis. As proof-of-concept we investigated proteome-wide protein interactions in E. coli and HeLa cell lysates, respectively, identifying 1,158 and 3,301 unique cross-links at ?1% false discovery rate. These protein interaction repositories provide meaningful structural information on many endogenous macromolecular assemblies, as we showcase on several protein complexes involved in translation, protein folding and carbohydrate metabolism.

Project description:Background:Autoantibodies are produced when tolerance to self-antigens is broken and they can be mediators of tissue injury and systemic inflammation. They are excellent biomarkers because they are minimally invasive to screen and are highly abundant in serum due to limited proteolysis and slow clearance. Conventionally used methods of identifying autoantibodies in patient sera include indirect immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays (ELISAs) and protein microarrays. Here we present a novel proteome-wide immuno-mass spectrometric method to identify serum autoantibody targets. Methods:Serum samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were analyzed by ELISA for the presence of autoantibodies to CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1 (CUZD1). Protein was extracted from the human pancreas as well as 16 other human tissues to make a complex tissue lysate protein mixture. Antibodies in patient sera were immobilized and purified on protein G magnetic beads and subsequently incubated with pancreatic lysate containing CUZD1 or the aforementioned complex tissue lysate. After extensive washing, antibody-bound protein antigens were trypsin-digested and identified using shotgun mass spectrometry. Results:The protocol was optimized for the immunoaffinity purification of autoantibody targets from tissue lysate, using CUZD1 from pancreatic lysate and anti-CUZD1 autoantibodies present in IBD patient serum as a proof-of-concept. Pancreatic secretory granule membrane major glycoprotein 2, whose autoantibodies are a known biomarker of Crohn's disease, was also immunoprecipitated from IBD patient serum, as an additional internal positive control. Conclusions:This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a proteomic approach to identify serum autoantibody targets, using immunoaffinity purification followed by tandem mass spectrometry. Our methodology is applicable for proteome-wide analysis of autoantibody targets in a wide variety of clinical settings.
