Analysis of the Saccharomyces spindle pole by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry.

Project description:A highly enriched spindle pole preparation was prepared from budding yeast and fractionated by SDS gel electrophoresis. Forty-five of the gel bands that appeared enriched in this fraction were analyzed by high-mass accuracy matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization (MALDI) peptide mass mapping combined with sequence database searching. This identified twelve of the known spindle pole components and an additional eleven gene products that had not previously been localized to the spindle pole. Immunoelectron microscopy localized eight of these components to different parts of the spindle. One of the gene products, Ndc80p, shows homology to human HEC protein (Chen, Y., D.J. Riley, P-L. Chen, and W-H. Lee. 1997. Mol. Cell Biol. 17:6049-6056) and temperature-sensitive mutants show defects in chromosome segregation. This is the first report of the identification of the components of a large cellular organelle by MALDI peptide mapping alone.

Three-Dimensional Imaging with Infrared Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Mass spectrometry imaging as a field has pushed its frontiers to three dimensions. Most three-dimensional mass spectrometry imaging (3D MSI) approaches require serial sectioning that results in a loss of biological information between analyzed slices and difficulty in reconstruction of 3D images. In this contribution, infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) was demonstrated to be applicable for 3D MSI that does not require sectioning because IR laser ablates material on a micrometer scale. A commercially available over-the-counter pharmaceutical was used as a model to demonstrate the feasibility of IR-MALDESI for 3D MSI. Depth resolution (i.e., z-resolution) as a function of laser energy levels and density of ablated material was investigated. The best achievable depth resolution from a pill was 2.3 μm at 0.3 mJ/pulse. 2D and 3D MSI were performed on the tablet to show the distribution of pill-specific molecules. A 3D MSI analysis on a region of interest of 15 × 15 voxels across 50 layers was performed. Our results demonstrate that IR-MALDESI is feasible with 3D MSI on a pill, and future work will be focused on analyses of biological tissues.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry applied to virus identification.

Project description:Virus detection and/or identification traditionally rely on methods based on cell culture, electron microscopy and antigen or nucleic acid detection. These techniques are good, but often expensive and/or time-consuming; furthermore, they not always lead to virus identification at the species and/or type level. In this study, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was tested as an innovative tool to identify human polioviruses and to identify specific viral protein biomarkers in infected cells. The results revealed MALDI-TOF MS to be an effective and inexpensive tool for the identification of the three poliovirus serotypes. The method was firstly applied to Sabin reference strains, and then to isolates from different clinical samples, highlighting its value as a time-saving, sensitive and specific technique when compared to the gold standard neutralization assay and casting new light on its possible application to virus detection and/or identification.

Coupling supported lipid bilayer electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging.

Project description:Herein, we describe a new analytical platform utilizing advances in heterogeneous supported lipid bilayer (SLB) electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) imaging. This platform allowed for the separation and visualization of both charged and neutral lipid membrane components without the need for extrinsic labels. A heterogeneous SLB was created using vesicles containing monosialoganglioside GM1, disialoganglioside GD1b, POPC, as well as the ortho and para isomers of Texas Red-DHPE. These components were then separated electrophoretically into five resolved bands. This represents the most complex separation by SLB electrophoresis performed to date. The SLB samples were flash frozen in liquid ethane and dried under vacuum before imaging with MALDI-MS. Fluorescence microscopy was employed to confirm the position of the Texas Red labeled lipids, which agreed well with the MALDI-MS imaging results. These results clearly demonstrate this platform's ability to isolate and identify nonlabeled membrane components within an SLB.

Developing transmission mode for infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging.

Project description:RationaleThe development and characterization of the novel NextGen infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) source catalyzed new advancements in IR-MALDESI instrumentation, including the development of a new analysis geometry.MethodsA vertically oriented transmission mode (tm)-IR-MALDESI setup was developed and optimized on thawed mouse tissue. In addition, glycerol was introduced as an alternative energy-absorbing matrix for tm-IR-MALDESI because the new geometry does not currently allow for the formation of an ice matrix. The tm geom was evaluated against the optimized standard geometry for the NextGen source in reflection mode (rm).ResultsIt was found that tm-IR-MALDESI produces comparable results to rm-IR-MALDESI after optimization. The attempt to incorporate glycerol as an alternative matrix provided little improvement to tm-IR-MALDESI ion abundances.ConclusionsThis work has successfully demonstrated the adaptation of the NextGen IR-MALDESI source through the feasibility of tm-IR-MALDESI mass spectrometry imaging on mammalian tissue, expanding future biological applications of the method.

Remote Atmospheric Pressure Infrared Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Mass Spectrometry (Remote IR-MALDI MS) of Proteins.

Project description:Remote Infrared Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (Remote IR-MALDI) system using tissue endogenous water as matrix was shown to enable in vivo real-time mass spectrometry analysis with minimal invasiveness. Initially the system was used to detect metabolites and lipids. Here, we demonstrate its capability to detect and analyze peptides and proteins. Very interestingly, the corresponding mass spectra show ESI-like charge state distribution, opening many applications for structural elucidation to be performed in real-time by Top-Down strategy. The charge states show no dependence toward laser wavelength or length of the transfer tube. Indeed, remote analysis can be performed 5 m away from the mass spectrometer without modification of spectra. On the contrary, addition of glycerol to water shift the charge state distributions toward even higher charge states. The desorption/ionization process is very soft, allowing to maintain protein conformation as in ESI. Observation of proteins and similar spectral features on tissue, when protein standards are deposited on raw tissue pieces, could potentially open the way to their direct analysis from biological samples. This also brings interesting features that could contribute to the understanding of IR MALDI ionization mechanism.

Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging identifies markers of ageing and osteoarthritic cartilage.

Project description:IntroductionCartilage protein distribution and the changes that occur in cartilage ageing and disease are essential in understanding the process of cartilage ageing and age related diseases such as osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the peptide profiles in ageing and osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage sections using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI).MethodsThe distribution of proteins in young, old and OA equine cartilage was compared following tryptic digestion of cartilage slices and MALDI-MSI undertaken with a MALDI SYNAPT™ HDMS system. Protein identification was undertaken using database searches following multivariate analysis. Peptide intensity differences between young, ageing and OA cartilage were imaged with Biomap software. Analysis of aggrecanase specific cleavage patterns of a crude cartilage proteoglycan extract were used to validate some of the differences in peptide intensity identified. Immunohistochemistry studies validated the differences in protein abundance.ResultsYoung, old and OA equine cartilage was discriminated based on their peptide signature using discriminant analysis. Proteins including aggrecan core protein, fibromodulin, and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein were identified and localised. Fibronectin peptides displayed a stronger intensity in OA cartilage. Age-specific protein markers for collectin-43 and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein were identified. In addition potential fibromodulin and biglycan peptides targeted for degradation in OA were detected.ConclusionsMALDI-MSI provided a novel platform to study cartilage ageing and disease enabling age and disease specific peptides in cartilage to be elucidated and spatially resolved.

Acidic Methanol Treatment Facilitates Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Energy Metabolism.

Project description:Detection of small molecule metabolites (SMM), particularly those involved in energy metabolism using MALDI-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), is challenging due to factors including ion suppression from other analytes present (e.g., proteins and lipids). One potential solution to enhance SMM detection is to remove analytes that cause ion suppression from tissue sections before matrix deposition through solvent washes. Here, we systematically investigated solvent treatment conditions to improve SMM signal and preserve metabolite localization. Washing with acidic methanol significantly enhances the detection of phosphate-containing metabolites involved in energy metabolism. The improved detection is due to removing lipids and highly polar metabolites that cause ion suppression and denaturing proteins that release bound phosphate-containing metabolites. Stable isotope infusions of [13C6]nicotinamide coupled to MALDI-MSI ("Iso-imaging") in the kidney reveal patterns that indicate blood vessels, medulla, outer stripe, and cortex. We also observed different ATP:ADP raw signals across mouse kidney regions, consistent with regional differences in glucose metabolism favoring either gluconeogenesis or glycolysis. In mouse muscle, Iso-imaging using [13C6]glucose shows high glycolytic flux from infused circulating glucose in type 1 and 2a fibers (soleus) and relatively lower glycolytic flux in type 2b fiber type (gastrocnemius). Thus, improved detection of phosphate-containing metabolites due to acidic methanol treatment combined with isotope tracing provides an improved way to probe energy metabolism with spatial resolution in vivo.
