Protamine characterization by top-down proteomics: Boosting proteoform identification with DBSCAN


ABSTRACT: Protamines replace histones as the main nuclear protein in sperm cells having a crucial role in compacting the paternal genome. Human spermatozoa contain the protamine 1 (P1) and the family of protamine 2 (P2) proteins. Alterations in protamine PTMs or on the P1/P2 ratio could be associated with male infertility. Top-down proteomics enables large-scale analysis of intact proteforms derived from alternative splicing, missense or nonsense genetic variants or PTMs. In contrast to current gold standard techniques, top-down allows a more in-depth analysis of protamine PTMs and proteoforms, opening up new perspectives to unravel their impact on male fertility. We analyzed two normozoospermic semen samples by top-down and discussed in detail the difficulties we found in the data analysis and the suggested solutions, as this step is one of the current bottlenecks in top-down proteomics with currently available bioinformatic tools. Our strategy for the data analysis combines two different software, ProSight PD (PS) and TopPIC suite (TP), with a clustering algorithm to decipher protamine proteoforms. We identified up to 32 protamine proteoforms at different levels of characterization. This in-depth analysis of the protamine proteoform landscape of an individual boosts personalized diagnosis of male infertility.

Protamines replace histones as the main nuclear protein in the sperm cells of many species and play a crucial role in compacting the paternal genome. Human spermatozoa contain protamine 1 (P1) and the family of protamine 2 (P2) proteins. Alterations in protamine PTMs or the P1/P2 ratio may be associated with male infertility.
