Enhanced Characterization of Membrane Protein Complexes by Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Development of chemical chaperones to solubilize membrane protein complexes in aqueous solutions has allowed for gas-phase analysis of their native-like assemblies, including rapid evaluation of stability and interacting partners. Characterization of protein primary sequence, however, has thus far been limited. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) generates a multitude of sequence ions for the E. coli ammonia channel (AmtB), provides improved localization of a possible post-translational modification of aquaporin Z (AqpZ), and surpasses previous reports of sequence coverage for mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL). Variations in UVPD sequence ion abundance have been shown to correspond to structural changes induced upon some perturbation. Preliminary results are reported here for elucidating increased rigidity or flexibility of MscL when bound to various phospholipids.

Characterization of native protein complexes using ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) mass spectrometry (MS) was used to characterize the sequences of proteins in native protein-ligand and protein-protein complexes and to provide auxiliary information about the binding sites of the ligands and protein-protein interfaces. UVPD outperformed collisional induced dissociation (CID), higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD), and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) in terms of yielding the most comprehensive diagnostic primary sequence information about the proteins in the complexes. UVPD also generated noncovalent fragment ions containing a portion of the protein still bound to the ligand which revealed some insight into the nature of the binding sites of myoglobin/heme, eIF4E/m(7)GTP, and human peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase 1 (Pin1) in complex with the peptide derived from the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (CTD). Noncovalently bound protein-protein fragment ions from oligomeric ?-lactoglobulin dimers and hexameric insulin complexes were also produced upon UVPD, providing some illumination of tertiary and quaternary protein structural features.

Structural Characterization of Carbonic Anhydrase-Arylsulfonamide Complexes Using Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Numerous mass spectrometry-based strategies ranging from hydrogen-deuterium exchange to ion mobility to native mass spectrometry have been developed to advance biophysical and structural characterization of protein conformations and determination of protein-ligand interactions. In this study, we focus on the use of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) to examine the structure of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) and its interactions with arylsulfonamide inhibitors. Carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate, has been the target of countless thermodynamic and kinetic studies owing to its well-characterized active site, binding cavity, and mechanism of inhibition by hundreds of ligands. Here, we showcase the application of UVPD for evaluating structural changes of hCAII upon ligand binding on the basis of variations in fragmentation of hCAII versus hCAII-arylsulfonamide complexes, particularly focusing on the hydrophobic pocket. To extend the coverage in the midregion of the protein sequence, a supercharging agent was added to the solutions to increase the charge states of the complexes. The three arylsulfonamides examined in this study largely shift the fragmentation patterns in similar ways, despite their differences in binding affinities.

Complete protein characterization using top-down mass spectrometry and ultraviolet photodissociation.

Project description:The top-down approach to proteomics offers compelling advantages due to the potential to provide complete characterization of protein sequence and post-translational modifications. Here we describe the implementation of 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer for characterization of intact proteins. Near-complete fragmentation of proteins up to 29 kDa is achieved with UVPD including the unambiguous localization of a single residue mutation and several protein modifications on Pin1 (Q13526), a protein implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease and in cancer pathogenesis. The 5 ns, high-energy activation afforded by UVPD exhibits far less precursor ion-charge state dependence than conventional collision- and electron-based dissociation methods.

Structural Evaluation of Protein/Metal Complexes via Native Electrospray Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has emerged as a promising tool to characterize proteins with regard to not only their primary sequences and post-translational modifications, but also their tertiary structures. In this study, three metal-binding proteins, Staphylococcal nuclease, azurin, and calmodulin, are used to demonstrate the use of UVPD to elucidate metal-binding regions via comparisons between the fragmentation patterns of apo (metal-free) and holo (metal-bound) proteins. The binding of staphylococcal nuclease to calcium was evaluated, in addition to a series of lanthanide(III) ions which are expected to bind in a similar manner as calcium. On the basis of comparative analysis of the UVPD spectra, the binding region for calcium and the lanthanide ions was determined to extend from residues 40-50, aligning with the known crystal structure. Similar analysis was performed for both azurin (interrogating copper and silver binding) and calmodulin (four calcium binding sites). This work demonstrates the utility of UVPD methods for determining and analyzing the metal binding sites of a variety of classes of proteins.

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.

Structural characterization of gangliosides and glycolipids via ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) mass spectrometry was used to characterize the structures of amphiphilic glycosphingolipids and gangliosides in comparison to collision induced dissociation (CID) and higher energy collision dissociation (HCD) in a high performance Orbitrap mass spectrometer. UVPD produced the widest array of fragment ions diagnostic for both the ceramide base and oligosaccharide moieties. CID and HCD generated mainly glycosidic B/Y and C/Z cleavages of the oligosaccharides moieties and very few informative fragments related to the hydrophobic ceramide base. Several unique cleavages at the sphingoid base and the fatty acid chain occurred upon UVPD, as well as a wider variety of cross ring cleavages (A/X ions), thus affording differentiation of isobaric gangliosides. An LC-UVPD-MS strategy allowed the elucidation of 27 gangliosides among five different classes.

193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry of Tetrameric Protein Complexes Provides Insight into Quaternary and Secondary Protein Topology.

Project description:Protein-protein interfaces and architecture are critical to the function of multiprotein complexes. Mass spectrometry-based techniques have emerged as powerful strategies for characterization of protein complexes, particularly for heterogeneous mixtures of structures. In the present study, activation and dissociation of three tetrameric protein complexes (streptavidin, transthyretin, and hemoglobin) in the gas phase was undertaken by 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) for the characterization of higher order structure. High pulse energy UVPD resulted in the production of dimers and low charged monomers exhibiting symmetrical charge partitioning among the subunits (the so-called symmetrical dissociation pathways), consistent with the subunit organization of the complexes. In addition, UVPD promoted backbone cleavages of the monomeric subunits, the abundances of which corresponded to the more flexible loop regions of the proteins.

Ultraviolet Photodissociation Mass Spectrometry for Analysis of Biological Molecules.

Project description:The development of new ion-activation/dissociation methods continues to be one of the most active areas of mass spectrometry owing to the broad applications of tandem mass spectrometry in the identification and structural characterization of molecules. This Review will showcase the impact of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) as a frontier strategy for generating informative fragmentation patterns of ions, especially for biological molecules whose complicated structures, subtle modifications, and large sizes often impede molecular characterization. UVPD energizes ions via absorption of high-energy photons, which allows access to new dissociation pathways relative to more conventional ion-activation methods. Applications of UVPD for the analysis of peptides, proteins, lipids, and other classes of biologically relevant molecules are emphasized in this Review.

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.

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.
