Evaluation of Machine Learning Models for Proteoform Retention and Migration Time Prediction in Top-Down Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) are two primary proteoform separation methods in mass spectrometry (MS)-based top-down proteomics. Proteoform retention time (RT) prediction in RPLC and migration time (MT) prediction in CZE provide additional information for accurate proteoform identification and quantification. While existing methods are mainly focused on peptide RT and MT prediction in bottom-up MS, there is still a lack of methods for proteoform RT and MT prediction in top-down MS. We systematically evaluated eight machine learning models and a transfer learning method for proteoform RT prediction and five models and the transfer learning method for proteoform MT prediction. Experimental results showed that a gated recurrent unit (GRU)-based model with transfer learning achieved a high accuracy (R = 0.978) for proteoform RT prediction and that the GRU-based model and a fully connected neural network model obtained a high accuracy of R = 0.982 and 0.981 for proteoform MT prediction, respectively.

Proteoform Identification by Combining RNA-Seq and Top-Down Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:In proteogenomic studies, genomic and transcriptomic variants are incorporated into customized protein databases for the identification of proteoforms, especially proteoforms with sample-specific variants. Most proteogenomic research has been focused on combining genomic or transcriptomic data with bottom-up mass spectrometry data. In the last decade, top-down mass spectrometry has attracted increasing attention because of its capacity to identify various proteoforms with alterations. However, top-down proteogenomics, in which genomic or transcriptomic data are combined with top-down mass spectrometry data, has not been widely adopted, and there is still a lack of software tools for top-down proteogenomic data analysis. In this paper, we introduce TopPG, a proteogenomic tool for generating proteoform sequence databases with genetic alterations and alternative splicing events. Experiments on top-down proteogenomic data of DLD-1 colorectal cancer cells showed that TopPG coupled with database search confidently identified proteoforms with sample-specific alterations.

TopPIC: a software tool for top-down mass spectrometry-based proteoform identification and characterization.

Project description:Top-down mass spectrometry enables the observation of whole complex proteoforms in biological samples and provides crucial information complementary to bottom-up mass spectrometry. Because of the complexity of top-down mass spectra and proteoforms, it is a challenging problem to efficiently interpret top-down tandem mass spectra in high-throughput proteome-level proteomics studies. We present TopPIC, a tool that efficiently identifies and characterizes complex proteoforms with unknown primary structure alterations, such as amino acid mutations and post-translational modifications, by searching top-down tandem mass spectra against a protein database.Availability and implementationhttp://proteomics.informatics.iupui.edu/software/toppic/ CONTACT: xwliu@iupui.eduSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Systematic Evaluation of Protein Sequence Filtering Algorithms for Proteoform Identification Using Top-Down Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Complex proteoforms contain various primary structural alterations resulting from variations in genes, RNA, and proteins. Top-down mass spectrometry is commonly used for analyzing complex proteoforms because it provides whole sequence information of the proteoforms. Proteoform identification by top-down mass spectral database search is a challenging computational problem because the types and/or locations of some alterations in target proteoforms are in general unknown. Although spectral alignment and mass graph alignment algorithms have been proposed for identifying proteoforms with unknown alterations, they are extremely slow to align millions of spectra against tens of thousands of protein sequences in high throughput proteome level analyses. Many software tools in this area combine efficient protein sequence filtering algorithms and spectral alignment algorithms to speed up database search. As a result, the performance of these tools heavily relies on the sensitivity and efficiency of their filtering algorithms. Here, we propose two efficient approximate spectrum-based filtering algorithms for proteoform identification. We evaluated the performances of the proposed algorithms and four existing ones on simulated and real top-down mass spectrometry data sets. Experiments showed that the proposed algorithms outperformed the existing ones for complex proteoform identification. In addition, combining the proposed filtering algorithms and mass graph alignment algorithms identified many proteoforms missed by ProSightPC in proteome-level proteoform analyses.

Top-Down and Intact Protein Mass Spectrometry Data Visualization for Proteoform Analysis Using VisioProt-MS.

Project description:The rise of intact protein analysis by mass spectrometry (MS) was accompanied by an increasing need for flexible tools allowing data visualization and analysis. These include inspection of the deconvoluted molecular weights of the proteoforms eluted alongside liquid chromatography (LC) through their representation in three-dimensional (3D) liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) maps (plots of deconvoluted molecular weights, retention times, and intensity of the MS signal). With this aim, we developed a free and open-source web application named VisioProt-MS (https://masstools.ipbs.fr/mstools/visioprot-ms/). VisioProt-MS is highly compatible with many algorithms and software developed by the community to integrate and deconvolute top-down and intact protein MS data. Its dynamic and user-friendly features greatly facilitate analysis through several graphical representations dedicated to MS and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of proteoforms in complex samples. Here, we will illustrate the importance of LC-MS map visualization to optimize top-down acquisition/search parameters and analyze intact protein MS data. We will go through the main features of VisioProt-MS using the human proteasomal 20S core particle as a user-case.

A Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method for Estimating the Statistical Significance of Proteoform Identifications by Top-Down Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Top-down mass spectrometry is capable of identifying whole proteoform sequences with multiple post-translational modifications because it generates tandem mass spectra directly from intact proteoforms. Many software tools, such as ProSightPC, MSPathFinder, and TopMG, have been proposed for identifying proteoforms with modifications. In these tools, various methods are employed to estimate the statistical significance of identifications. However, most existing methods are designed for proteoform identifications without modifications, and the challenge remains for accurately estimating the statistical significance of proteoform identifications with modifications. Here we propose TopMCMC, a method that combines a Markov chain random walk algorithm and a greedy algorithm for assigning statistical significance to matches between spectra and protein sequences with variable modifications. Experimental results showed that TopMCMC achieved high accuracy in estimating E-values and false discovery rates of identifications in top-down mass spectrometry. Coupled with TopMG, TopMCMC identified more spectra than the generating function method from an MCF-7 top-down mass spectrometry data set.

Construction of Human Proteoform Families from 21 Tesla Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry Top-Down Proteomic Data.

Project description:Identification of proteoforms, the different forms of a protein, is important to understand biological processes. A proteoform family is the set of different proteoforms from the same gene. We previously developed the software program Proteoform Suite, which constructs proteoform families and identifies proteoforms by intact-mass analysis. Here, we have applied this approach to top-down proteomic data acquired at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory 21 tesla Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (data available on the MassIVE platform with identifier MSV000085978). We explored the ability to construct proteoform families and identify proteoforms from the high mass accuracy data that this instrument provides for a complex cell lysate sample from the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. There were 2830 observed experimental proteforms, of which 932 were identified, 44 were ambiguous, and 1854 were unidentified. Of the 932 unique identified proteoforms, 766 were identified by top-down MS2 analysis at 1% false discovery rate (FDR) using TDPortal, and 166 were additional intact-mass identifications (∼4.7% calculated global FDR) made using Proteoform Suite. We recently published a proteoform level schema to represent ambiguity in proteoform identifications. We implemented this proteoform level classification in Proteoform Suite for intact-mass identifications, which enables users to determine the ambiguity levels and sources of ambiguity for each intact-mass proteoform identification.

Expanding Proteoform Identifications in Top-Down Proteomic Analyses by Constructing Proteoform Families.

Project description:In top-down proteomics, intact proteins are analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry and proteoforms, which are defined forms of a protein with specific sequences of amino acids and localized post-translational modifications, are identified using precursor mass and fragmentation data. Many proteoforms that are detected in the precursor scan (MS1) are not selected for fragmentation by the instrument and therefore remain unidentified in typical top-down proteomic workflows. Our laboratory has developed the open source software program Proteoform Suite to analyze MS1-only intact proteoform data. Here, we have adapted it to provide identifications of proteoform masses in precursor MS1 spectra of top-down data, supplementing the top-down identifications obtained using the MS2 fragmentation data. Proteoform Suite performs mass calibration using high-scoring top-down identifications and identifies additional proteoforms using calibrated, accurate intact masses. Proteoform families, the set of proteoforms from a given gene, are constructed and visualized from proteoforms identified by both top-down and intact-mass analyses. Using this strategy, we constructed proteoform families and identified 1861 proteoforms in yeast lysate, yielding an approximately 40% increase over the original 1291 proteoform identifications observed using traditional top-down analysis alone.

Characterization of modified RNA by top-down mass spectrometry.

Project description:Characteristic mass differences between fragment ions from backbone cleavage of RNA by electron detachment (d, w) and fragment ions from collisionally activated dissociation (c, y) provide extensive sequence information. Structure analysis by this approach should be especially useful for the detailed characterization of synthetic or post-transcriptionally modified RNA.

Top-Down Analysis of Branched Proteins Using Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Post-translational modifications by the covalent attachment of Rub1 (NEDD8), ubiquitin, SUMO, and other small signaling proteins have profound impacts on the functions and fates of cellular proteins. Investigations of the relationship of these bioactive structures and their functions are limited by analytical methods that are scarce and tedious. A novel strategy is reported here for the analysis of branched proteins by top-down mass spectrometry and illustrated by application to four recombinant proteins and one synthetic peptide modified by covalent bonds with ubiquitin or Rub1. The approach allows an analyte to be recognized as a branched protein; the participating proteins to be identified; the site of conjugation to be defined; and other chemical, native, and recombinant modifications to be characterized. In addition to the high resolution and high accuracy provided by the mass spectrometer, success is based on sample fragmentation by electron-transfer dissociation assisted by collisional activation and on software designed for graphic interpretation and adapted for branched proteins. The strategy allows for structures of unknown, two-component branched proteins to be elucidated directly the first time and can potentially be extended to more complex systems.

Quantifying Positional Isomers (QPI) by Top-Down Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Proteomics has exposed a plethora of posttranslational modifications, but demonstrating functional relevance requires new approaches. Top-down proteomics of intact proteins has the potential to fully characterize protein modifications in terms of amount, site(s), and the order in which they are deposited on the protein; information that so far has been elusive to extract by shotgun proteomics. Data acquisition and analysis of intact multimodified proteins have however been a major challenge, in particular for positional isomers that carry the same number of modifications at different sites. Solutions were previously proposed to extract this information from fragmentation spectra, but these have so far mainly been limited to peptides and have entailed a large degree of manual interpretation. Here, we apply high-resolution Orbitrap fusion top-down analyses in combination with bioinformatics approaches to attempt to characterize multiple modified proteins and quantify positional isomers. Automated covalent fragment ion type definition, detection of mass precision and accuracy, and extensive use of replicate spectra increase sequence coverage and drive down false fragment assignments from 10% to 1.5%. Such improved performance in fragment assignment is key to localize and quantify modifications from fragment spectra. The method is tested by investigating positional isomers of Ubiquitin mixed in known concentrations, which results in quantification of high ratios at very low standard errors of the mean (<5%), as well as with synthetic phosphorylated peptides. Application to multiphosphorylated Bora provides an estimation of the so far unknown stoichiometry of the known set of phosphosites and uncovers new sites from hyperphosphorylated Bora.
