Signature Ions in MS/MS Spectra for Dansyl-Aminohexyl-QQIV Adducts on Lysine.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial transglutaminase was used to label human plasma proteins with fluorescent tags. Protein lysines were modified with dansyl-epsilon-aminohexyl-Gln-Gln-Ile-Val-OH (dansylQQIV), while protein glutamines were modified with dansyl cadaverine. Labeled proteins included human butyrylcholinesterase, apolipoprotein A-1, haptoglobin, haptoglobin-related protein, immunoglobulin heavy chain, and hemopexin. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer. Modified residues were identified in Protein Prospector and Proteome Discoverer searches of mass spectrometry data. The MS/MS fragmentation spectra from dansylQQIV-modified peptides gave intense peaks at 475.2015, 364.1691, 347.1426, 234.0585, and 170.0965 m/z. These signature ions are useful markers for identifying modified peptides. Human butyrylcholinesterase retained full activity following modification by dansylQQIV or dansyl cadaverine.

Characteristic fragment ions associated with dansyl cadaverine and biotin cadaverine adducts on glutamine.

Project description:Glutamine residues susceptible to transglutaminase-catalyzed crosslinking can be identified by incorporation of dansyl cadaverine or biotin cadaverine. Bacterial transglutaminase and human transglutaminase 2 were used to modify residues in beta-casein with dansyl cadaverine. Bacterial transglutaminase was used to modify residues in human butyrylcholinesterase with biotin cadaverine. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer. Modified residues were identified in Protein Prospector searches of mass spectrometry data. The MS/MS spectra from modified casein included intense peaks at 336.2, 402.2, and 447.2 for fragments of dansyl cadaverine adducts on glutamine. The MS/MS spectra from modified butyrylcholinesterase included intense peaks at 329.2, 395.2, and 440.2 for fragments of biotin cadaverine adducts on glutamine. No evidence for transglutaminase-catalyzed adducts on glutamic acid, aspartic acid, or asparagine was found. Consistent with expectation, it was concluded that bacterial transglutaminase and human transglutaminase 2 specifically modify glutamine. The characteristic ions associated with dansyl cadaverine and biotin cadaverine adducts on glutamine are useful markers for modified peptides.

Acetonitrile Adducts of Tranexamic Acid as Sensitive Ions for Quantification at Residue Levels in Human Plasma by UHPLC-MS/MS.

Project description:The quantitative analysis of pharmaceuticals in biomatrices by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is often hampered by adduct formation. The use of the molecular ion resulting from solvent adducts for quantification is uncommon, even if formed in high abundance. In this work, we propose the use of a protonated acetonitrile adduct for the quantitative analysis of tranexamic acid (TXA) by LC-MS/MS. The high abundance of the protonated acetonitrile adduct [M + ACN + H]+ was found to be independent of source-dependent parameters and mobile phase composition. The results obtained for TXA analysis in clinical samples were comparable for both [M + ACN + H]+ and [M + H]+, and no statistically significant differences were observed. The relative stability and structure of the [M + ACN + H]+ ions were also studied by analyzing probable structures from an energetic point of view and by quantum chemical calculations. These findings, and the studied fragmentation pathways, allowed the definition of an acetimidium structure as the best ion to describe the observed acetonitrile protonated adduct of TXA.

Comparison of MS/MS methods for characterization of DNA/cisplatin adducts.

Project description:The development of activation/dissociation techniques such as ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) as alternatives to collision induced dissociation (CID) has extended the range of strategies for characterizing biologically relevant molecules. Here, we describe a comprehensive comparison of CID, IRMPD, UVPD, ETD, and hybrid processes termed ETcaD and ET-IRMPD (and analogous hybrid methods in the negative mode NETcaD and NET-IRMPD) for generating sequence-specific fragment ions and allowing adduction sites to be pinpointed for DNA/cisplatin adducts. Among the six MS/MS methods, the numerous products generated by the IRMPD and UVPD techniques resulted in the most specific and extensive backbone cleavages. We conclude that IRMPD and UVPD methods generally offer the best characteristics for pinpointing the cisplatin adduction sites in the fragment-rich spectra.

A Dual Perspective of the Action of Lysine on Soybean Oil Oxidation Process Obtained by Combining 1H NMR and LC-MS: Antioxidant Effect and Generation of Lysine-Aldehyde Adducts.

Project description:Little is still known about both the effect of amino acids on the oxidation course of edible oils and the modifications that the former may undergo during this process. Bearing this in mind, the objective of this work was to study the evolution of a system consisting of soybean oil with 2% of l-lysine under heating at 70 °C and stirring conditions, analyzing how the co-oxidation of the oil and of the amino acid affects their respective evolutions, and trying to obtain information about the action mechanism of lysine on soybean oil oxidation. The study of the oil progress by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) showed that the presence of lysine noticeably delays oil degradation and oxidation products generation in comparison with a reference oil without lysine. Regarding lysine evolution, the analysis by 1H NMR and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry of a series of aqueous extracts obtained from the oil containing lysine over time revealed the formation of lysine adducts, most of them at the position, with n-alkanals, malondialdehyde, (E)-2-alkenals, and toxic oxygenated α β-unsaturated aldehydes. However, this latter finding does not seem enough to explain the antioxidant action of lysine.

Expert system for computer-assisted annotation of MS/MS spectra.

Project description:An important step in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the identification of peptides by their fragment spectra. Regardless of the identification score achieved, almost all tandem-MS (MS/MS) spectra contain remaining peaks that are not assigned by the search engine. These peaks may be explainable by human experts but the scale of modern proteomics experiments makes this impractical. In computer science, Expert Systems are a mature technology to implement a list of rules generated by interviews with practitioners. We here develop such an Expert System, making use of literature knowledge as well as a large body of high mass accuracy and pure fragmentation spectra. Interestingly, we find that even with high mass accuracy data, rule sets can quickly become too complex, leading to over-annotation. Therefore we establish a rigorous false discovery rate, calculated by random insertion of peaks from a large collection of other MS/MS spectra, and use it to develop an optimized knowledge base. This rule set correctly annotates almost all peaks of medium or high abundance. For high resolution HCD data, median intensity coverage of fragment peaks in MS/MS spectra increases from 58% by search engine annotation alone to 86%. The resulting annotation performance surpasses a human expert, especially on complex spectra such as those of larger phosphorylated peptides. Our system is also applicable to high resolution collision-induced dissociation data. It is available both as a part of MaxQuant and via a webserver that only requires an MS/MS spectrum and the corresponding peptides sequence, and which outputs publication quality, annotated MS/MS spectra (www.biochem.mpg.de/mann/tools/). It provides expert knowledge to beginners in the field of MS-based proteomics and helps advanced users to focus on unusual and possibly novel types of fragment ions.

Synthesis of a novel fluorescent sensor bearing dansyl fluorophores for the highly selective detection of mercury (II) ions.

Project description:A new macromolecule possessing two dansyl moieties and based on 2-[4-(2-aminoethylthio)butylthio]ethanamine was prepared as a fluorescent sensor and its mercury sensing properties toward various transition metal, alkali, and alkali earth ions were investigated. The designed compound exhibited pronounced Hg2+-selective ON-OFF type fluorescence switching upon binding. The new compound provided highly selective sensing to Hg2+ in acetonitrile-water solvent mixtures with a detection limit of 2.49 x 10(-7) M or 50 ppb. The molecular modeling results indicated that ions-recognition of the sensor originated from a self assembly process of the reagent and Hg2+ to form a helical wrapping structure with the favorable electrostatic interactions of Hg2+coordinated with sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen atoms and aromatic moieties.

Electronic spectra of ions of astrochemical interest: from fast overview spectra to high resolution.

Project description:The combination of cryogenic ion traps with suitable light sources and standard tools of mass spectrometry has led to many innovative applications in previous years. This paper presents the combination of our versatile instrument with a supercontinuum laser for the rapid identification of ions that might be of special interest, e.g. as candidates for diffuse interstellar bands carriers. Using a linear wire quadrupole ion trap at 3 K, routine He-tagging, long irradiation times, and the brilliance and wide spectral range of a crystal fiber laser, mass selected ions have been exposed to spectral fluencies larger than 10 mJ (nm cm2)-1. These conditions result in an unsurpassed sensitivity, allowing us to find out within a few minutes and with nm accuracy, where photo absorption occurs with cross sections above 10-18 cm2. In this contribution, we present a variety of ions, probed between 420 and 720 nm. They have been generated by electron- or electrospray ionization of (polycyclic) aromatic hydrocarbons. For selected candidates, we recorded spectra with higher resolution and in the IR range. The anthracene dication has been selected to present a detailed analysis of our new results.

A database of high-resolution MS/MS spectra for lichen metabolites.

Project description:While analytical techniques in natural products research massively shifted to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, lichen chemistry remains reliant on limited analytical methods, Thin Layer Chromatography being the gold standard. To meet the modern standards of metabolomics within lichenochemistry, we announce the publication of an open access MS/MS library with 250 metabolites, coined LDB for Lichen DataBase, providing a comprehensive coverage of lichen chemodiversity. These were donated by the Berlin Garden and Botanical Museum from the collection of Siegfried Huneck to be analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Spectra at individual collision energies were submitted to MetaboLights (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS999) while merged spectra were uploaded to the GNPS platform (CCMSLIB00004751209 to CCMSLIB00004751517). Technical validation was achieved by dereplicating three lichen extracts using a Molecular Networking approach, revealing the detection of eleven unique molecules that would have been missed without LDB implementation to the GNPS. From a chemist's viewpoint, this database should help streamlining the isolation of formerly unreported metabolites. From a taxonomist perspective, the LDB offers a versatile tool for the chemical profiling of newly reported species.

Comprehensive analyses of oxidized phospholipids using a measured MS/MS spectra library.

Project description:Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are widely held to be associated with various diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer. To characterize the structure-specific behavior of OxPLs and their physiological relevance, we developed a comprehensive analytical method by establishing a measured MS/MS spectra library of OxPLs. Biogenic OxPLs were prepared by the addition of specific oxidized fatty acids to cultured cells, where they were incorporated into cellular phospholipids, and untargeted lipidomics by LC-quadrupole/TOF-MS was applied to collect MS/MS spectra for the OxPLs. Based on the measured MS/MS spectra for about 400 molecular species of the biogenic OxPLs, we developed a broad-targeted lipidomics system using triple quadrupole MS. Separation precision of structural isomers was optimized by multiple reaction monitoring analysis and this system enabled us to detect OxPLs at levels as low as 10 fmol. When applied to biological samples, i.e., mouse peritoneal macrophages, this system enabled us to monitor a series of OxPLs endogenously produced in a 12/15-lipoxygenase-dependent manner. This advanced analytical method will be useful to elucidate the structure-specific behavior of OxPLs and their physiological relevance in vivo.

Detecting diagnostic features in MS/MS spectra of post-translationally modified peptides.

Project description:Post-translational modifications are an area of great interest in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, with a surge in methods to detect them in recent years. However, post-translational modifications can introduce complexity into proteomics searches by fragmenting in unexpected ways, ultimately hindering the detection of modified peptides. To address these deficiencies, we present a fully automated method to find diagnostic spectral features for any modification. The features can be incorporated into proteomics search engines to improve modified peptide recovery and localization. We show the utility of this approach by interrogating fragmentation patterns for a cysteine-reactive chemoproteomic probe, RNA-crosslinked peptides, sialic acid-containing glycopeptides, and ADP-ribosylated peptides. We also analyze the interactions between a diagnostic ion's intensity and its statistical properties. This method has been incorporated into the open-search annotation tool PTM-Shepherd and the FragPipe computational platform.
