Generation of Multiply Charged Protein Anions from Multiply Charged Protein Cations via Gas-Phase Ion/Ion Reactions.

ABSTRACT: We report a novel charge inversion ion/ion reaction that converts multiply charged protein cations to multiply charged protein anions via a single ion/ion collision using highly charged anions derived from nanoelectrospray ionization (nESI) of hyaluronic acids (HAs). This type of charge inversion reaction is demonstrated with cations derived from cytochrome c, apo-myoglobin, and carbonic anhydrase (CA) cations. For example, the reaction has been demonstrated to convert the [CA+22H]²²⁺ carbonic anhydrase cation to a distribution of anions as high in absolute charge as [CA-19H]^19-. Ion/ion reactions involving multiply charged ions of opposite polarity have previously been observed to result predominantly in the attachment of the reactant ions. All mechanisms for ion/ion charge inversion involving low energy ions proceed via the formation of a long-lived complex. Factors that underlie the charge inversion of protein cations to high anionic charge states in reaction with HA anions are hypothesized to include: (i) the relatively high charge densities of the HA anions that facilitate the extraction of multiple protons from the protein leading to multiply charged protein anions, (ii) the relatively high sum of absolute charges of the reactants that leads to high initial energies in the ion/ion complex, and (iii) the relatively high charge of the ion/ion complex following the multiple proton transfers that tends to destabilize the complex.

Ion/ion reactions with "onium" reagents: an approach for the gas-phase transfer of organic cations to multiply-charged anions.

Project description:The use of ion/ion reactions to effect gas-phase alkylation is demonstrated. Commonly used fixed-charge "onium" cations are well-suited for ion/ion reactions with multiply deprotonated analytes because of their tendency to form long-lived electrostatic complexes. Activation of these complexes results in an SN2 reaction that yields an alkylated anion with the loss of a neutral remnant of the reagent. This alkylation process forms the basis of a general method for alkylation of deprotonated analytes generated via electrospray, and is demonstrated on a variety of anionic sites. SN2 reactions of this nature are demonstrated empirically and characterized using density functional theory (DFT). This method for modification in the gas phase is extended to the transfer of larger and more complex R groups that can be used in later gas-phase synthesis steps. For example, N-cyclohexyl-N'-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMC) is used to transfer a carbodiimide functionality to a peptide anion containing a carboxylic acid. Subsequent activation yields a selective reaction between the transferred carbodiimide group and a carboxylic acid, suggesting the carbodiimide functionality is retained through the transfer process. Many different R groups are transferable using this method, allowing for new possibilities for charge manipulation and derivatization in the gas phase.

Gas-phase transformation of phosphatidylcholine cations to structurally informative anions via ion/ion chemistry.

Project description:Gas-phase transformation of synthetic phosphatidylcholine (PC) monocations to structurally informative anions is demonstrated via ion/ion reactions with doubly deprotonated 1,4-phenylenedipropionic acid (PDPA). Two synthetic PC isomers, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC(16:0/18:1)) and 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC(18:1/16:0)), were subjected to this ion/ion chemistry. The product of the ion/ion reaction is a negatively charged complex, [PC + PDPA - H](-). Collisional activation of the long-lived complex causes transfer of a proton and methyl cation to PDPA, generating [PC - CH3](-). Subsequent collisional activation of the demethylated PC anions produces abundant fatty acid carboxylate anions and low-abundance acyl neutral losses as free acids and ketenes. Product ion spectra of [PC - CH3](-) suggest favorable cleavage at the sn-2 position over the sn-1 due to distinct differences in the relative abundances. In contrast, collisional activation of PC cations is absent of abundant fatty acid chain-related product ions and typically indicates only the lipid class via formation of the phosphocholine cation. A solution phase method to produce the gas-phase adducted PC anion is also demonstrated. Product ion spectra derived from the solution phase method are similar to the results generated via ion/ion chemistry. This work demonstrates a gas-phase means to increase structural characterization of phosphatidylcholines via ion/ion chemistry.

Multiply Charged Helium Droplet Anions.

Project description:The detection of multiply charged helium droplet anions is reported for the first time. By ionizing droplets of superfluid helium with low energy electrons (up to 25 eV), it was possible to produce droplets containing up to five negative charges, which remain intact on the timescale of the experiment. The appearance sizes for different charge states are determined and are found to be orders of magnitude larger than for the equivalent cationic droplets, starting at 4 million He atoms for dianions. Droplets with He*- as charge carriers show signs of being metastable, but this effect is quenched by the pickup of water molecules.

Charge transfer dissociation of phosphocholines: gas-phase ion/ion reactions between helium cations and phospholipid cations.

Project description:Phospholipid cations formed by electrospray ionization were subjected to excitation and fragmentation by a beam of 6 keV helium cations in a process termed charge transfer dissociation (CTD). The resulting fragmentation pattern in CTD is different from that of conventional collision-induced dissociation, but analogous to that of metastable atom-activated dissociation and electron-induced dissociation. Like collision-induced dissociation, CTD yields product ions indicative of acyl chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation in the fatty acyl moieties but also provides additional structural diagnostic information, such as double bond position. Although CTD has not been tested on a larger lipid sample pool, the extent of structural information obtained demonstrates that CTD is a useful tool for lipid structure characterization, and a potentially useful tool in future lipidomics workflows. CTD is relatively unique in that it can produce a relatively strong series of 2+ product ions with enhanced abundance at the double bond position. The generally low signal-to-noise ratios and spectral complexity of CTD make it less appealing than OzID or other radical-induced methods for the lipids studies here, but improvements in CTD efficiency could make CTD more appealing in the future.

Gas-phase bioconjugation of peptides via ion/ion charge inversion: Schiff base formation on the conversion of cations to anions.

Project description:The selective covalent modification of singly protonated peptides in the gas-phase via ion/ion charge inversion reactions is demonstrated. Doubly deprotonated 4-formyl-1,3-benzene disulfonic acid serves as a reagent anion for forming a Schiff base via the reaction of a primary amine on the peptide and the aldehyde functionality of the reagent anion. The process is initiated by the formation of an ion/ion complex comprised of the two reactants. Ion trap collisional activation of the complex results in loss of water from the intermediate that gives rise to Schiff base formation. N-terminally acetylated peptides with no lysine residues do not undergo covalent bond formation upon reaction with the reagent anion. Rather, the adduct species simply loses the reagent either as a neutral species or as a deprotonated species. The ability to modify singly protonated peptide ions covalently and selectively opens up new possibilities for the analysis of peptides and, possibly, other analyte species with primary amine functionalities.

Gas-Phase Oxidation via Ion/Ion Reactions: Pathways and Applications.

Project description:Here, we provide an overview of pathways available upon the gas-phase oxidation of peptides and DNA via ion/ion reactions and explore potential applications of these chemistries. The oxidation of thioethers (i.e., methionine residues and S-alkyl cysteine residues), disulfide bonds, S-nitrosylated cysteine residues, and DNA to the [M+H+O]+ derivative via ion/ion reactions with periodate and peroxymono-sulfate anions is demonstrated. The oxidation of neutral basic sites to various oxidized structures, including the [M+H+O]+, [M-H]+, and [M-H-NH3]+ species, via ion/ion reactions is illustrated and the oxidation characteristics of two different oxidizing reagents, periodate and persulfate anions, are compared. Lastly, the highly efficient generation of molecular radical cations via ion/ion reactions with sulfate radical anion is summarized. Activation of the newly generated molecular radical peptide cations results in losses of various neutral side chains, several of which generate dehydroalanine residues that can be used to localize the amino acid from which the dehydroalanine was generated. The chemistries presented herein result in a diverse range of structures that can be used for a variety of applications, including the identification and localization of S-alkyl cysteine residues, the oxidative cleavage of disulfide bonds, and the generation of molecular radical cations from even-electron doubly protonated peptides.

C-terminal peptide extension via gas-phase ion/ion reactions.

Project description:The formation of peptide bonds is of great importance from both a biological standpoint and in routine organic synthesis. Recent work from our group demonstrated the synthesis of peptides in the gas-phase via ion/ion reactions with sulfo-NHS reagents, which resulted in conjugation of individual amino acids or small peptides to the N-terminus of an existing 'anchor' peptide. Here, we demonstrate a complementary approach resulting in the C-terminal extension of peptides. Individual amino acids or short peptides can be prepared as reagents by incorporating gas phase-labile protecting groups to the reactive C-terminus and then converting the N-terminal amino groups to the active ketenimine reagent. Gas-phase ion/ion reactions between the anionic reagents and doubly protonated "anchor" peptide cations results in extension of the "anchor" peptide with new amide bond formation at the C-terminus. We have demonstrated that ion/ion reactions can be used as a fast, controlled, and efficient means for C-terminal peptide extension in the gas phase.

Transformation of [M + 2H](2+) Peptide Cations to [M - H](+), [M + H + O](+), and M(+•) Cations via Ion/Ion Reactions: Reagent Anions Derived from Persulfate.

Project description:The gas-phase oxidation of doubly protonated peptides is demonstrated here using ion/ion reactions with a suite of reagents derived from persulfate. Intact persulfate anion (HS2O8(-)), peroxymonosulfate anion (HSO5(-)), and sulfate radical anion (SO4(-•)) are all either observed directly upon negative nanoelectrospray ionization (nESI) or easily obtained via beam-type collisional activation of persulfate into the mass spectrometer. Ion/ion reactions between each of these reagents and doubly protonated peptides result in the formation of a long-lived complex. Collisional activation of the complex containing a peroxymonosulfate anion results in oxygen transfer from the reagent to the peptide to generate the [M + H + O](+) species. Activation of the complex containing intact persulfate anion either results in oxygen transfer to generate the [M + H + O](+) species or abstraction of two hydrogen atoms and a proton to generate the [M - H](+) species. Activation of the complex containing sulfate radical anion results in abstraction of one hydrogen atom and a proton to form the peptide radical cation, [M](+•). This suite of reagents allows for the facile transformation of the multiply protonated peptides obtained via nESI into a variety of oxidized species capable of providing complementary information about the sequence and structure of the peptide.

Gas-phase intramolecular protein crosslinking via ion/ion reactions: ubiquitin and a homobifunctional sulfo-NHS ester.

Project description:Gas-phase intra-molecular crosslinking of protein ubiquitin cations has been demonstrated via ion/ion reactions with anions of a homobifunctional N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS) ester reagent. The ion/ion reaction between multiply-protonated ubiquitin and crosslinker monoanions produces a stable, charge-reduced complex. Covalent crosslinking is indicated by the consecutive loss of 2 molecules of sulfo-NHS under ion trap collisional activation conditions. Covalent modification is verified by the presence of covalently crosslinked sequence ions produced by ion-trap collision-induced dissociation of the ion generated from the losses of sulfo-NHS. Analysis of the crosslinked sequence fragments allows for the localization of crosslinked primary amines, enabling proximity mapping of the gas-phase 3-D structures. The presence of two unprotonated reactive sites within the distance constraint of the crosslinker is required for successful crosslinking. The ability to covalently crosslink is, therefore, sensitive to protein charge state. As the charge state increases, fewer reactive sites are available and protein structure is more likely to become extended because of intramolecular electrostatic repulsion. At high charge states, the reagent shows little evidence for covalent crosslinking but does show evidence for 'electrostatic crosslinking' in that the binding of the sulfonate groups to the protein is sufficiently strong that backbone cleavages are favored over reagent detachment under ion trap collisional activation conditions.

193-nm photodissociation of singly and multiply charged peptide anions for acidic proteome characterization.

Project description:193-nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) was implemented to sequence singly and multiply charged peptide anions. Upon dissociation by this method, a-/x-type, followed by d and w side-chain loss ions, were the most prolific and abundant sequence ions, often yielding 100% sequence coverage. The dissociation behavior of singly and multiply charged anions was significantly different with higher charged precursors yielding more sequence ions; however, all charge states investigated (1- through 3-) produced rich diagnostic information. UVPD at 193 ?nm was also shown to successfully differentiate and pinpoint labile phosphorylation modifications. The sequence ions were produced with high abundances, requiring limited averaging for satisfactory spectral quality. The intact, charge-reduced radical products generated by UV photoexcitation were also subjected to collision-induced dissociation (termed, activated-electron photodetachment dissociation (a-EPD)), but UVPD alone yielded more predictable and higher abundance sequence ions. With the use of a basic (pH?11.5), piperidine-modified mobile phase, LC-MS/UVPD was implemented and resulted in the successful analysis of mitogen-activated pathway kinases (MAPKs) using ultrafast activation times (5 ?ns).
