A Versatile Isobaric Tag Enables Proteome Quantification in Data-Dependent and Data-Independent Acquisition Modes.

ABSTRACT: Quantifying proteins based on peptide-coupled reporter ions is a multiplexed quantitative strategy in proteomics that alleviates the problem of ratio distortion caused by peptide cofragmentation, as commonly observed in other reporter-ion-based approaches, such as TMT and iTRAQ. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) is an attractive alternative to data-dependent acquisition (DDA) due to its better reproducibility. While multiplexed labeling is widely used in DDA, it is rarely used in DIA, presumably because current approaches lead to more complex MS2 spectra, severe ratio distortion, or to a reduction in quantification accuracy and precision. Herein, we present a versatile acetyl-alanine-glycine (Ac-AG) tag that conceals quantitative information in isobarically labeled peptides and reveals it upon tandem MS in the form of peptide-coupled reporter ions. Since the peptide-coupled reporter ion is precursor-specific while fragment ions of the peptide backbone originating from different labeling channels are identical, the Ac-AG tag is compatible with both DDA and DIA. By isolating the monoisotopic peak of the precursor ion in DDA, intensities of the peptide-coupled reporter ions represent the relative ratios between constituent samples, whereas in DIA, the ratio can be inferred after deconvoluting the peptide-coupled reporter ion isotopes. The proteome quantification capability of the Ac-AG tag was demonstrated by triplex labeling of a yeast proteome spiked with bovine serum albumin (BSA) over a 10-fold dynamic range. Within this complex proteomics background, BSA spiked at 1:5:10 ratios was detected at ratios of 1.00:4.87:10.13 in DDA and 1.16:5.20:9.64 in DIA.

Project description:Despite data-independent acquisition (DIA) has been increasingly used for relative protein quantification, DIA-based label-free absolute quantification method has not been fully established. Here we present a novel DIA method using the TPA algorithm (DIA-TPA) for the absolute quantification of protein expressions in human liver microsomal and S9 samples. To validate this method, both data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and DIA experiments were conducted on 36 individual human liver microsome and S9 samples. The MS2-based DIA-TPA was able to quantify approximately twice as many proteins as the MS1-based DDA-TPA method, whereas protein concentrations determined by the two approaches were comparable. To evaluate the accuracy of the DIA-TPA method, we absolutely quantified carboxylesterase 1 concentrations in human liver S9 fractions using an established SILAC internal standard-based proteomic assay; the SILAC results were consistent with those obtained from DIA-TPA analysis. Finally, we employed a unique algorithm in DIA-TPA to distribute the MS signals from shared peptides to individual proteins or isoforms and successfully applied the method to the absolute quantification of several drug-metabolizing enzymes in human liver microsomes. In sum, the DIA-TPA method not only can absolutely quantify entire proteomes and specific proteins, but also has the capability quantifying proteins with shared peptides. SIGNIFICANCE: Data independent acquisition (DIA) has emerged as a powerful approach for relative protein quantification at the whole proteome level. However, DIA-based label-free absolute protein quantification (APQ) method has not been fully established. In the present study, we present a novel DIA-based label-free APQ approach, named DIA-TPA, with the capability absolutely quantifying proteins with shared peptides. The method was validated by comparing the quantification results of DIA-TPA with that obtained from stable isotope-labeled internal standard-based proteomic assays.
