Project description:We took advantage of a novel highly sensitive timsTOF PRO mass spectrometer, based on trapped ion mobility spectrometry with parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation. Combined with three alternative methods for sporozoite purification, this approach allowed us to identify the deep proteome of P. berghei sporozoites using low numbers of parasites. This study provides a reference proteome for P. berghei sporozoites, identifying a core set of proteins expressed accross species, and illustrates how the unprecedented sensitivity of the timsTOF PRO system enables deep proteomic analysis from limited sample amounts.

Project description:Spatial separation of ions in the gas-phase, providing information about their size as collisional cross-sections, can readily be achieved through ion mobility. The timsTOF Pro combines a trapped ion mobility device with a quadrupole, collision cell and a time-of-flight analyser to enable the analysis of ions at great speed. Here, we show that the timsTOF Pro is capable of physically separating N-glycopeptides from non-modified peptides and producing high-quality fragmentation spectra, both beneficial for glycoproteomics analyses of complex samples. The glycan moieties enlarge the size of glycopeptides compared to non-modified peptides, yielding a clear cluster in the mobilogram that, next to increased dynamic range from the physical separation of glycopeptides and non-modified peptides, can be used to make an effective selection filter for directing the mass spectrometer to analytes of interest. This new approach was applied to selected glycoproteins, human plasma- and neutrophil-derived glycopeptides. We show that the achieved physical separation, combined with the focussing of the mass spectrometer, allows for improved extraction of information from the samples, even at shorter LC gradients of 15 min. We validated our approach on human neutrophil and plasma samples of known make-up, in which we captured the anticipated glycan heterogeneity (paucimannose, phosphomannose, high mannose, hybrid and complex glycans) from diverse biological samples (plasma and neutrophils) at the expected abundances. As the method is compatible with off-the-shelve data acquisition routines and data analysis software, it can readily be applied by any laboratory with a timsTOF Pro and is reproducible as demonstrated by an inter-laboratory comparison between two laboratories.

Project description:In bottom-up proteomics, peptides are separated by liquid chromatography with elution peak widths in the range of seconds, while mass spectra are acquired in about 100 microseconds with time-of-fight (TOF) instruments. This allows adding ion mobility as a third dimension of separation. Among several formats, trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) is attractive due to its small size, low voltage requirements and high efficiency of ion utilization. We have recently demonstrated a scan mode termed parallel accumulation – serial fragmentation (PASEF), which multiplies the sequencing speed without any loss in sensitivity (Meier et al., PMID: 26538118). Here we introduce the timsTOF Pro instrument, which optimally implements online PASEF. It features an orthogonal ion path into the ion mobility device, limiting the amount of debris entering the instrument and making it very robust in daily operation. We investigate different precursor selection schemes for shotgun proteomics to optimally allocate in excess of 100 fragmentation events per second. More than 800,000 fragmentation spectra in standard 120 min LC runs are easily achievable, which can be used for near exhaustive precursor selection in complex mixtures or re-sequencing weak precursors. MaxQuant identified more than 6,000 proteins in single run HeLa analyses without matching to a library, and with high quantitative reproducibility (R > 0.97). Online PASEF achieves a remarkable sensitivity with more than 2,000 proteins identified in 30 min runs of only 10 ng HeLa digest. We also show that highly reproducible collisional cross sections can be acquired on a large scale (R > 0.99). PASEF on the timsTOF Pro is a valuable addition to the technological toolbox in proteomics, with a number of unique operating modes that are only beginning to be explored.

Project description:Data provided report the use of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) to fractionate ions in the gas phase based on their ion mobility (V⋅s/cm2) followed by parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) in a quadrupole time-of-flight instrument. TIMS fractionation coupled to DDA-PASEF allowed for the detection of approximately 7,000 proteins and over 70,000 peptides per overall run from 200ng of human (HeLa) cell lysate per injection using a commercial UPLC column with a 90-minute gradient. This project also explored the utility of TIMS fractionation to generate a DDA library for downstream DIA analysis using shorter LC gradients (20 minutes) as well as lower sample input. Using a 20min gradient, we identified 4,092 and 6,654 proteins on average per run, respectively, from 10ng and 200ng of human (HeLa) cell lysate input based on a TIMS-fractionated library consisting of 82,214 peptides derived from 7,615 proteins.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a biofluid in direct contact with the brain and as such constitutes a sample of choice in the study of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer or Parkinson. Human CSF has still been less studied using proteomic technologies compared to other biological fluids such as blood plasma or serum. In this work, a pool of “normal” human CSF samples was analysed using a shotgun proteomic workflow that combined removal of highly abundant proteins by immunoaffinity depletion and isoelectric focussing electrophoresis fractionation of tryptic peptides to alleviate the complexity of the biofluid. The resulting 24 fractions were analysed using liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution and high-accuracy timsTOF Pro mass spectrometry instrument. This state-of-the-art protocol allowed the identification of 3’174 proteins in CSF.

Project description:The combination of cross-linking/mass spectrometry (XL-MS) and ion mobility is still underexplored for conducting protein conformational and protein-protein interaction studies. We present a method for analyzing cross-linking mixtures on a timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer that allows separating ions based on their gas phase mobilities. Cross-linking was performed with three urea-based MS-cleavable cross-linkers that deliver distinct fragmentation patterns for cross-linked species upon collisional activation. The discrimination of cross-linked species from non-cross-linked peptides was readily performed based on their collisional cross sections. We demonstrate the general feasibility of our combined XL-MS/ion mobility approach for three protein systems of increasing complexity: (i) Bovine serum albumin, (ii) E. coli ribosome, and (iii) HEK293T cell nuclear extracts. We identified a total of 623 unique cross-linking sites for BSA, 670 for the E. coli ribosome, and 1,617 unique cross-links for nuclear extracts, corresponding to 1,088 intra- and 529 interprotein interactions and yielding 564 distinct protein-protein interactions. Our results underline the strength of combining XL-MS with ion mobility not only for deriving 3D-structures of single proteins, but also for performing system-wide protein interaction studies.

Project description:This project employed ultrasensitive proteomics in the discovery setting utilizing microanalytical capillary electrophoresis electrospray ionization (CE-ESI) and trapped ion mobility high-resolution mass spectrometry (TimsTOF HRMS) to quantify proteomic changes during development in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), before and after the onset of photoreceptor-dependent visual function. Results from this work highlight the maturation of oligodendrocyte myelination as well as extracellular matrix proteins with implications for critical-period plasticity. This work marks the first integration of ultrasensitive proteomics by CE-ESI TimsTOF HRMS with super-resolution STORM microscopy provide, expanding analytical resources to help better understand the brain and vision.

Project description:Although single cell RNA-seq has had a tremendous impact on biological research, a corresponding technology for unbiased mass spectrometric analysis of single cells has only recently become available. Significant technological breakthroughs including miniaturized sample handling have enabled proteome profiling of single cells. Further, a trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) in combination with parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation operated with data-dependant acquisition mode has allowed improved proteome coverage from low-input samples. It has been demonstrated that modulating ion flux in TIMS affects overall performance of proteome profiling. However, the effect of TIMS settings for analyzing low-input samples has been less investigated. Thus, we sought to optimize conditions of TIMS in regards of ion accumulation/ramp times and ion mobility range for low-input samples. We observed that ion accumulation times of 180 ms and monitoring a narrower ion mobility range from 0.7 to 1.3 Vs cm-2 resulted in a substantial gain in the depth of proteome coverage and in detecting proteins with low abundance. We applied these optimized conditions for proteome profiling of sorted human primary T cells, which yielded an average of 365, 804, 1,116, and 1,651 proteins from single, five, ten, and forty T cells, respectively. Notably, we demonstrated that the depth of proteome coverage from low number of cells was sufficient to delineate several essential metabolic pathways and T cell receptor signaling pathway. Finally, we showed the feasibility of detecting post-translational modifications including phosphorylation and acetylation from single cells. We believe that these parameters could be applied to label-free analysis of single cells obtained from clinically relevant samples.

Project description:The digital revolution sets a milestone in the progressive miniaturization of working devices and in the underlying advent of molecular machines. Foldamers involving mechanically entangled components with modular secondary structures are among the most promising designs for molecular switch-based applications. Characterizing the nature and dynamics of their intramolecular network following the application of a stimulus is the key to their performance. Here, we use non-dissociative electron transfer as a reductive stimulus in the gas phase and probe the consecutive co-conformational transitions of a donor-acceptor oligorotaxane foldamer using electrospray mass spectrometry interfaced with ion mobility and infrared ion spectroscopy. A comparison of collision cross section distributions for analogous closed-shell and radical molecular ions sheds light on their respective formation energetics, while variations in their respective infrared absorption bands evidence changes in intramolecular organization as the foldamer becomes more compact. These differences are compatible with the advent of radical-pairing interactions.
