Identification of peptide-binding sites within BSA using rapid, laser-induced covalent cross-linking combined with high-performance mass spectrometry.


ABSTRACT: We are developing a rapid, time-resolved method using laser-activated cross-linking to capture protein-peptide interactions as a means to interrogate the interaction of serum proteins as delivery systems for peptides and other molecules. A model system was established to investigate the interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2 peptides, the tridecapeptide budding-yeast mating pheromone (?-factor) and the decapeptide human gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Cross-linking of ?-factor, using a biotinylated, photoactivatable p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine (Bpa)-modified analog, was energy-dependent and achieved within seconds of laser irradiation. Protein blotting with an avidin probe was used to detect biotinylated species in the BSA-peptide complex. The cross-linked complex was trypsinized and then interrogated with nano-LC-MS/MS to identify the peptide cross-links. Cross-linking was greatly facilitated by Bpa in the peptide, but some cross-linking occurred at higher laser powers and high concentrations of a non-Bpa-modified ?-factor. This was supported by experiments using GnRH, a peptide with sequence homology to ?-factor, which was likewise found to be cross-linked to BSA by laser irradiation. Analysis of peptides in the mass spectra showed that the binding site for both ?-factor and GnRH was in the BSA pocket defined previously as the site for fatty acid binding. This model system validates the use of laser-activation to facilitate cross-linking of Bpa-containing molecules to proteins. The rapid cross-linking procedure and high performance of MS/MS to identify cross-links provides a method to interrogate protein-peptide interactions in a living cell in a time-resolved manner.

We are developing a rapid, time-resolved method using laser-activated cross-linking to capture protein-peptide interactions as a means to interrogate the interaction of serum proteins as delivery systems for peptides and other molecules. A model system was established to investigate the interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2 peptides, the tridecapeptide budding-yeast mating pheromone (α-factor) and the decapeptide human gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
