Protein hydrogen exchange at residue resolution by proteolytic fragmentation mass spectrometry analysis.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen exchange technology provides a uniquely powerful instrument for measuring protein structural and biophysical properties, quantitatively and in a nonperturbing way, and determining how these properties are implemented to produce protein function. A developing hydrogen exchange-mass spectrometry method (HX MS) is able to analyze large biologically important protein systems while requiring only minuscule amounts of experimental material. The major remaining deficiency of the HX MS method is the inability to deconvolve HX results to individual amino acid residue resolution. To pursue this goal we used an iterative optimization program (HDsite) that integrates recent progress in multiple peptide acquisition together with previously unexamined isotopic envelope-shape information and a site-resolved back-exchange correction. To test this approach, residue-resolved HX rates computed from HX MS data were compared with extensive HX NMR measurements, and analogous comparisons were made in simulation trials. These tests found excellent agreement and revealed the important computational determinants.

Stepwise protein folding at near amino acid resolution by hydrogen exchange and mass spectrometry.

Project description:The kinetic folding of ribonuclease H was studied by hydrogen exchange (HX) pulse labeling with analysis by an advanced fragment separation mass spectrometry technology. The results show that folding proceeds through distinct intermediates in a stepwise pathway that sequentially incorporates cooperative native-like structural elements to build the native protein. Each step is seen as a concerted transition of one or more segments from an HX-unprotected to an HX-protected state. Deconvolution of the data to near amino acid resolution shows that each step corresponds to the folding of a secondary structural element of the native protein, termed a "foldon." Each folded segment is retained through subsequent steps of foldon addition, revealing a stepwise buildup of the native structure via a single dominant pathway. Analysis of the pertinent literature suggests that this model is consistent with experimental results for many proteins and some current theoretical results. Two biophysical principles appear to dictate this behavior. The principle of cooperativity determines the central role of native-like foldon units. An interaction principle termed "sequential stabilization" based on native-like interfoldon interactions orders the pathway.

Differential hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry analysis of protein-ligand interactions.

Project description:Functional regulation of ligand-activated receptors is driven by alterations in the conformational dynamics of the protein upon ligand binding. Differential hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) coupled with mass spectrometry has emerged as a rapid and sensitive approach for characterization of perturbations in conformational dynamics of proteins following ligand binding. While this technique is sensitive to detecting ligand interactions and alterations in receptor dynamics, it also can provide important mechanistic insights into ligand regulation. For example, HDX has been used to determine a novel mechanism of ligand activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-?, perform detailed analyses of binding modes of ligands within the ligand-binding pocket of two estrogen receptor isoforms, providing insight into selectivity, and helped classify different types of estrogen receptor-? ligands by correlating their pharmacology with the way they interact with the receptor based solely on hierarchical clustering of receptor HDX signatures. Beyond small-molecule-receptor interactions, this technique has also been applied to study protein-protein complexes, such as mapping antibody-antigen interactions. In this article, we summarize the current state of the differential HDX approaches and the future outlook. We summarize how HDX analysis of protein-ligand interactions has had an impact on biology and drug discovery.

Analyzing protein dynamics using hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry.

Project description:All cellular processes depend on the functionality of proteins. Although the functionality of a given protein is the direct consequence of its unique amino acid sequence, it is only realized by the folding of the polypeptide chain into a single defined three-dimensional arrangement or more commonly into an ensemble of interconverting conformations. Investigating the connection between protein conformation and its function is therefore essential for a complete understanding of how proteins are able to fulfill their great variety of tasks. One possibility to study conformational changes a protein undergoes while progressing through its functional cycle is hydrogen-(1)H/(2)H-exchange in combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HX-MS). HX-MS is a versatile and robust method that adds a new dimension to structural information obtained by e.g. crystallography. It is used to study protein folding and unfolding, binding of small molecule ligands, protein-protein interactions, conformational changes linked to enzyme catalysis, and allostery. In addition, HX-MS is often used when the amount of protein is very limited or crystallization of the protein is not feasible. Here we provide a general protocol for studying protein dynamics with HX-MS and describe as an example how to reveal the interaction interface of two proteins in a complex.

Computational method allowing Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry at single amide Resolution.

Project description:Hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) coupled with mass spectrometry (HDXMS) is a rapid and effective method for localizing and determining protein stability and dynamics. Localization is routinely limited to a peptide resolution of 5 to 20 amino acid residues. HDXMS data can contain information beyond that needed for defining protein stability at single amide resolution. Here we present a method for extracting this information from an HDX dataset to generate a HDXMS protein stability fingerprint. High resolution (HR)-HDXMS was applied to the analysis of a model protein of a spectrin tandem repeat that exemplified an intuitive stability profile based on the linkage of two triple helical repeats connected by a helical linker. The fingerprint recapitulated expected stability maximums and minimums with interesting structural features that corroborate proposed mechanisms of spectrin flexibility and elasticity. HR-HDXMS provides the unprecedented ability to accurately assess protein stability at the resolution of a single amino acid. The determination of HDX stability fingerprints may be broadly applicable in many applications for understanding protein structure and function as well as protein ligand interactions.

Rapid analysis of protein structure and dynamics by hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry.

Project description:An automated approach for the rapid analysis of protein structure has been developed and used to study acid-induced conformational changes in human growth hormone. The labeling approach involves hydrogen/deuterium exchange (H/D-Ex) of protein backbone amide hydrogens with rapid and sensitive detection by mass spectrometry (MS). Briefly, the protein is incubated for defined intervals in a deuterated environment. After rapid quenching of the exchange reaction, the partially deuterated protein is enzymatically digested and the resulting peptide fragments are analyzed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The deuterium buildup curve measured for each fragment yields an average amide exchange rate that reflects the environment of the peptide in the intact protein. Additional analyses allow mapping of the free energy of folding on localized segments along the protein sequence affording unique dynamic and structural information. While amide H/D-Ex coupled with MS is recognized as a powerful technique for studying protein structure and protein-ligand interactions, it has remained a labor-intensive task. The improvements in the amide H/D-Ex methodology described here include solid phase proteolysis, automated liquid handling and sample preparation, and integrated data reduction software that together improve sequence coverage and resolution, while achieving a sample throughput nearly 10-fold higher than the commonly used manual methods.

Automated hydrogen/deuterium exchange electron transfer dissociation high resolution mass spectrometry measured at single-amide resolution.

Project description:Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a well established method for the measurement of solution-phase deuterium incorporation into proteins, which can provide insight into protein conformational mobility. However, most HDX measurements are constrained to regions of the protein where pepsin proteolysis allows detection at peptide resolution. Recently, single-amide resolution deuterium incorporation has been achieved by limiting gas-phase scrambling in the mass spectrometer. This was accomplished by employing a combination of soft ionization and desolvation conditions coupled with the radical-driven fragmentation technique electron transfer dissociation (ETD). Here, a hybrid LTQ-Orbitrap XL is systematically evaluated for its utility in providing single-amide deuterium incorporation for differential HDX analysis of a nuclear receptor upon binding small molecule ligands. We are able to show that instrumental parameters can be optimized to minimize scrambling and can be incorporated into an established and fully automated HDX platform making differential single-amide HDX possible for bottom-up analysis of complex systems. We have applied this system to determine differential single amide resolution HDX data for the peroxizome proliferator activated receptor bound with two ligands of interest.

Construct optimization for protein NMR structure analysis using amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry.

Project description:Disordered or unstructured regions of proteins, while often very important biologically, can pose significant challenges for resonance assignment and three-dimensional structure determination of the ordered regions of proteins by NMR methods. In this article, we demonstrate the application of (1)H/(2)H exchange mass spectrometry (DXMS) for the rapid identification of disordered segments of proteins and design of protein constructs that are more suitable for structural analysis by NMR. In this benchmark study, DXMS is applied to five NMR protein targets chosen from the Northeast Structural Genomics project. These data were then used to design optimized constructs for three partially disordered proteins. Truncated proteins obtained by deletion of disordered N- and C-terminal tails were evaluated using (1)H-(15)N HSQC and (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear NOE NMR experiments to assess their structural integrity. These constructs provide significantly improved NMR spectra, with minimal structural perturbations to the ordered regions of the protein structure. As a representative example, we compare the solution structures of the full length and DXMS-based truncated construct for a 77-residue partially disordered DUF896 family protein YnzC from Bacillus subtilis, where deletion of the disordered residues (ca. 40% of the protein) does not affect the native structure. In addition, we demonstrate that throughput of the DXMS process can be increased by analyzing mixtures of up to four proteins without reducing the sequence coverage for each protein. Our results demonstrate that DXMS can serve as a central component of a process for optimizing protein constructs for NMR structure determination.

HDfleX: Software for Flexible High Structural Resolution of Hydrogen/Deuterium-Exchange Mass Spectrometry Data.

Project description:Hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) experiments on protein structures can be performed at three levels: (1) by enzymatically digesting labeled proteins and analyzing the peptides (bottom-up), (2) by further fragmenting peptides following digestion (middle-down), and (3) by fragmenting the intact labeled protein (top-down) using soft gas-phase fragmentation methods, such as electron transfer dissociation (ETD). However, to the best of our knowledge, the software packages currently available for the analysis of HDX-MS data do not enable the peptide- and ETD-levels to be combined; they can only be analyzed separately. Thus, we developed HDfleX, a standalone application for the analysis of flexible high structural resolution of HDX-MS data, which allows data at any level of structural resolution (intact protein, peptide, fragment) to be merged. HDfleX features rapid experimental data fitting, robust statistical significance analyses, and optional methods for theoretical intrinsic calculations and a novel empirical correction for comparison between solution conditions.

Online Fully Automated System for Hydrogen/Deuterium-Exchange Mass Spectrometry with Millisecond Time Resolution.

Project description:Amide hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful tool for analyzing the conformational dynamics of proteins in a solution. Current conventional methods have a measurement limit starting from several seconds and are solely reliant on the speed of manual pipetting or a liquid handling robot. Weakly protected regions of polypeptides, such as in short peptides, exposed loops and intrinsically disordered the protein exchange on the millisecond timescale. Typical HDX methods often cannot resolve the structural dynamics and stability in these cases. Numerous academic laboratories have demonstrated the considerable utility of acquiring HDX-MS data in the sub-second regimes. Here, we describe the development of a fully automated HDX-MS apparatus to resolve amide exchange on the millisecond timescale. Like conventional systems, this instrument boasts automated sample injection with software selection of labeling times, online flow mixing and quenching, while being fully integrated with a liquid chromatography-MS system for existing standard "bottom-up" workflows. HDX-MS's rapid exchange kinetics of several peptides demonstrate the repeatability, reproducibility, back-exchange, and mixing kinetics achieved with the system. Comparably, peptide coverage of 96.4% with 273 peptides was achieved, supporting the equivalence of the system to standard robotics. Additionally, time windows of 50 ms-300 s allowed full kinetic transitions to be observed for many amide groups; especially important are short time points (50-150 ms) for regions that are likely highly dynamic and solvent- exposed. We demonstrate that information on structural dynamics and stability can be measured for stretches of weakly stable polypeptides in small peptides and in local regions of a large enzyme, glycogen phosphorylase.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry reveals folding and allostery in protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDXMS) has emerged as a powerful approach for revealing folding and allostery in protein-protein interactions. The advent of higher resolution mass spectrometers combined with ion mobility separation and ultra performance liquid chromatographic separations have allowed the complete coverage of large protein sequences and multi-protein complexes. Liquid-handling robots have improved the reproducibility and accurate temperature control of the sample preparation. Many researchers are also appreciating the power of combining biophysical approaches such as stopped-flow fluorescence, single molecule FRET, and molecular dynamics simulations with HDXMS. In this review, we focus on studies that have used a combination of approaches to reveal (re)folding of proteins as well as on long-distance allosteric changes upon interaction.
