A Simplified and Ultrafast Pipeline for Site-specific Quantitative Chemical Proteomics

ABSTRACT: Activity-based proteome profiling (ABPP) is a powerful chemoproteomic technology for global profiling of protein reactivity and modifications. The tandem orthogonal proteolysis-ABPP (TOP-ABPP) strategy utilizes a clickable enrichment tag with cleavable linkers to enable direct identification of probe-labeled residue sites within the target proteins. However, such a site-specific chemoproteomic workflow requires long operation time and complex sample preparation procedures, limiting its wide applications. In the current study, we developed a Simplified and Ultrafast Peptide Enrichment and Release TOP-ABPP (superTOP-ABPP) pipeline for site-specific quantitative chemoproteomic analysis with special agarose resins that are functionalized with azide groups and acid-cleavable linkers. The azide groups allow enrichment of the alkynyl probe labeled peptides through one-step click reaction, which can be conveniently released by acid cleavage for subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis. In comparison with the traditional TOP-ABPP method, superTOP-ABPP cuts down the averaged sample preparation time from 25 to 9 h, and significantly improves the sensitivity and coverage of site-specific cysteinome profiling. The method can also be seamlessly integrated with reductive dimethylation to enable quantitative chemoproteomic analysis with high accuracy. The simplified and ultrafast superTOP-ABPP will become a valuable tool for site-specific quantitative chemoproteomic studies.

Project description:Numerous reagents have been developed to enable chemical proteomic analysis of small molecule-protein interactomes. However, the performance of these reagents has not been systematically evaluated and compared. Herein, we report our efforts to conduct a parallel assessment of two widely-used chemically-cleavable linkers equipped with dialkoxydiphenylsilane (DADPS linker) and azobenzene (AZO linker) moieties. Profiling a cellular cysteinome using iodoacetamide alkyne probe demonstrated a significant discrepancy between the experimental results obtained through the application of each of the reagents. To better understand the source of observed discrepancy, a mass tolerant database search strategy using MSFragger software was performed. This resulted in identifying a previously unreported artifactual modification on the residual mass of the azobenzene linker. Furthermore, we conducted a comparative analysis of enrichment modes using both cleavable linkers. This effort determined that enrichment of proteolytic digests yielded a far greater number of identified cysteine residues than the enrichment conducted prior to protein digest. Inspired by recent studies where multiplexed quantitative labeling strategies were applied to cleavable biotin linkers, we combined this further optimized protocol using the DADPS cleavable linker with tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling to profile the FDA-approved covalent EGFR kinase inhibitor dacomitinib against the cysteinome of an epidermoid cancer cell line. Our analysis resulted in the detection and quantification of over 10,000 unique cysteine residues, a nearly 3-fold increase over previous studies that used cleavable biotin linkers for enrichment. Critically, cysteine residues corresponding to proteins directly as well as indirectly modulated by dacomitinib treatment were identified. Overall, our study suggests that the dialkoxydiphenylsilane linker could be broadly applied wherever chemically cleavable linkers are required for chemical proteomic characterization of cellular proteomes.
