Relative Retention Time Estimation Improves N-Glycopeptide Identifications by LC-MS/MS.

ABSTRACT: Glycopeptides identified by tandem mass spectrometry rely on the identification of the peptide backbone sequence and the attached glycan(s) by the incomplete fragmentation of both moieties. This may lead to ambiguous identifications where multiple structures could explain the same spectrum equally well due to missing information in the mass spectrum or incorrect precursor mass determination. To date, approaches to solving these problems have been limited, and few inroads have been made to address these issues. We present a technique to address some of these challenges and demonstrate it on previously published data sets. We use a linear modeling approach to learn the influence of the glycan composition on the retention time of a glycopeptide and use these models to validate glycopeptides within the same experiment, detecting over 400 incorrect cases during the MS/MS search and correcting 75 cases that could not be identified based on mass alone. We make this technique available as a command line executable program, written in Python and C, freely available at https://github.com/mobiusklein/glycresoft in source form, with precompiled binaries for Windows.

Alignstein: Optimal transport for improved LC-MS retention time alignment.

Project description:Reproducibility of liquid chromatography separation is limited by retention time drift. As a result, measured signals lack correspondence over replicates of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) experiments. Correction of these errors is named retention time alignment and needs to be performed before further quantitative analysis. Despite the availability of numerous alignment algorithms, their accuracy is limited (e.g., for retention time drift that swaps analytes' elution order). We present the Alignstein, an algorithm for LC-MS retention time alignment. It correctly finds correspondence even for swapped signals. To achieve this, we implemented the generalization of the Wasserstein distance to compare multidimensional features without any reduction of the information or dimension of the analyzed data. Moreover, Alignstein by design requires neither a reference sample nor prior signal identification. We validate the algorithm on publicly available benchmark datasets obtaining competitive results. Finally, we show that it can detect the information contained in the tandem mass spectrum by the spatial properties of chromatograms. We show that the use of optimal transport effectively overcomes the limitations of existing algorithms for statistical analysis of mass spectrometry datasets. The algorithm's source code is available at https://github.com/grzsko/Alignstein.

ReTimeML: a retention time predictor that supports the LC-MS/MS analysis of sphingolipids.

Project description:The analysis of ceramide (Cer) and sphingomyelin (SM) lipid species using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) continues to present challenges as their precursor mass and fragmentation can correspond to multiple molecular arrangements. To address this constraint, we developed ReTimeML, a freeware that automates the expected retention times (RTs) for Cer and SM lipid profiles from complex chromatograms. ReTimeML works on the principle that LC-MS/MS experiments have pre-determined RTs from internal standards, calibrators or quality controls used throughout the analysis. Employed as reference RTs, ReTimeML subsequently extrapolates the RTs of unknowns using its machine-learned regression library of mass-to-charge (m/z) versus RT profiles, which does not require model retraining for adaptability on different LC-MS/MS pipelines. We validated ReTimeML RT estimations for various Cer and SM structures across different biologicals, tissues and LC-MS/MS setups, exhibiting a mean variance between 0.23 and 2.43% compared to user annotations. ReTimeML also aided the disambiguation of SM identities from isobar distributions in paired serum-cerebrospinal fluid from healthy volunteers, allowing us to identify a series of non-canonical SMs associated between the two biofluids comprised of a polyunsaturated structure that confers increased stability against catabolic clearance.

Improved LC-MS identification of short homologous peptides using sequence-specific retention time predictors.

Project description:Peptides are an important group of compounds contributing to the desired, as well as the undesired taste of a food product. Their taste impressions can include aspects of sweetness, bitterness, savoury, umami and many other impressions depending on the amino acids present as well as their sequence. Identification of short peptides in foods is challenging. We developed a method to assign identities to short peptides including homologous structures, i.e. peptides containing the same amino acids with a different sequence order, by accurate prediction of the retention times during reversed phase separation. To train the method, a large set of well-defined short peptides with systematic variations in the amino acid sequence was prepared by a novel synthesis strategy called 'swapped-sequence synthesis'. Additionally, several proteins were enzymatically digested to yield short peptides. Experimental retention times were determined after reversed phase separation and peptide MS2 data was acquired using a high-resolution mass spectrometer operated in data-dependent acquisition mode (DDA). A support vector regression model was trained using a combination of existing sequence-independent peptide descriptors and a newly derived set of selected amino acid index derived sequence-specific peptide (ASP) descriptors. The model was trained and validated using the experimental retention times of the 713 small food-relevant peptides prepared. Whilst selecting the most useful ASP descriptors for our model, special attention was given to predict the retention time differences between homologous peptide structures. Inclusion of ASP descriptors greatly improved the ability to accurately predict retention times, including retention time differences between 157 homologous peptide pairs. The final prediction model had a goodness-of-fit (Q2) of 0.94; moreover for 93% of the short peptides, the elution order was correctly predicted.

LC-MS/MS-PRM Quantification of IgG Glycoforms Using Stable Isotope Labeled IgG1 Fc Glycopeptide Standard.

Project description:Targeted quantification of proteins is a standard methodology with broad utility, but targeted quantification of glycoproteins has not reached its full potential. The lack of optimized workflows and isotopically labeled standards limits the acceptance of glycoproteomics quantification. In this work, we introduce an efficient and streamlined chemoenzymatic synthesis of a library of isotopically labeled glycopeptides of IgG1 which we use for quantification in an energy optimized LC-MS/MS-PRM workflow. Incorporation of the stable isotope labeled N-acetylglucosamine enables an efficient monitoring of all major fragment ions of the glycopeptides generated under the soft higher-energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) conditions, which reduces the coefficients of variability (CVs) of the quantification to 0.7-2.8%. Our results document, for the first time, that the workflow using a combination of stable isotope labeled standards with intrascan normalization enables quantification of the glycopeptides by an electron transfer dissociation (ETD) workflow, as well as the HCD workflow, with the highest sensitivity compared to traditional workflows. This was exemplified by a rapid quantification (13 min) of IgG1 Fc glycoforms from COVID-19 patients.

Retention time prediction using neural networks increases identifications in crosslinking mass spectrometry.

Project description:Crosslinking mass spectrometry has developed into a robust technique that is increasingly used to investigate the interactomes of organelles and cells. However, the incomplete and noisy information in the mass spectra of crosslinked peptides limits the numbers of protein-protein interactions that can be confidently identified. Here, we leverage chromatographic retention time information to aid the identification of crosslinked peptides from mass spectra. Our Siamese machine learning model xiRT achieves highly accurate retention time predictions of crosslinked peptides in a multi-dimensional separation of crosslinked E. coli lysate. Importantly, supplementing the search engine score with retention time features leads to a substantial increase in protein-protein interactions without affecting confidence. This approach is not limited to cell lysates and multi-dimensional separation but also improves considerably the analysis of crosslinked multiprotein complexes with a single chromatographic dimension. Retention times are a powerful complement to mass spectrometric information to increase the sensitivity of crosslinking mass spectrometry analyses.

CharmeRT: Boosting Peptide Identifications by Chimeric Spectra Identification and Retention Time Prediction.

Project description:Coeluting peptides are still a major challenge for the identification and validation of MS/MS spectra, but carry great potential. To tackle these problems, we have developed the here presented CharmeRT workflow, combining a chimeric spectra identification strategy implemented as part of the MS Amanda algorithm with the validation system Elutator, which incorporates a highly accurate retention time prediction algorithm. For high-resolution data sets this workflow identifies 38-64% chimeric spectra, which results in up to 63% more unique peptides compared to a conventional single search strategy.

GlycoSLASH: Concurrent Glycopeptide Identification from Multiple Related LC-MS/MS Data Sets by Using Spectral Clustering and Library Searching.

Project description:Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry is commonly adopted in large-scale glycoproteomic studies involving hundreds of disease and control samples. The software for glycopeptide identification in such data (e.g., the commercial software Byonic) analyzes the individual data set and does not exploit the redundant spectra of glycopeptides presented in the related data sets. Herein, we present a novel concurrent approach for glycopeptide identification in multiple related glycoproteomic data sets by using spectral clustering and spectral library searching. The evaluation on two large-scale glycoproteomic data sets showed that the concurrent approach can identify 105%-224% more spectra as glycopeptides compared to the glycopeptide identification on individual data sets using Byonic alone. The improvement of glycopeptide identification also enabled the discovery of several potential biomarkers of protein glycosylations in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Prediction of Intact N-Glycopeptide Retention Time Windows in Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:Analysis of protein glycosylation is challenging due to micro- and macro-heterogeneity of the attached glycans. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a mode of choice for separation of intact glycopeptides, which are inadequately resolved by reversed phase chromatography. In this work, we propose an easy-to-use model to predict retention time windows of glycopeptides in HILIC. We constructed this model based on the parameters derived from chromatographic separation of six differently glycosylated peptides obtained from tryptic digests of three plasma proteins: haptoglobin, hemopexin, and sex hormone-binding globulin. We calculated relative retention times of different glycoforms attached to the same peptide to the bi-antennary form and showed that the character of the peptide moiety did not significantly change the relative retention time differences between the glycoforms. To challenge the model, we assessed chromatographic behavior of fetuin glycopeptides experimentally, and their retention times all fell within the calculated retention time windows, which suggests that the retention time window prediction model in HILIC is sufficiently accurate. Relative retention time windows provide complementary information to mass spectrometric data, and we consider them useful for reliable determination of protein glycosylation in a site-specific manner.

MRCQuant- an accurate LC-MS relative isotopic quantification algorithm on TOF instruments.

Project description:BackgroundRelative isotope abundance quantification, which can be used for peptide identification and differential peptide quantification, plays an important role in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based proteomics. However, several major issues exist in the relative isotopic quantification of peptides on time-of-flight (TOF) instruments: LC peak boundary detection, thermal noise suppression, interference removal and mass drift correction. We propose to use the Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) method to extract MS signal templates for interference detection/removal and LC peak boundary detection. In our method, MRCQuant, MS templates are extracted directly from experimental values, and the mass drift in each LC-MS run is automatically captured and compensated. We compared the quantification accuracy of MRCQuant to that of another representative LC-MS quantification algorithm (msInspect) using datasets downloaded from a public data repository.ResultsMRCQuant showed significant improvement in the number of accurately quantified peptides.ConclusionsMRCQuant effectively addresses major issues in the relative quantification of LC-MS-based proteomics data, and it provides improved performance in the quantification of low abundance peptides.
