Targeted Analysis of Mitochondrial Protein Conformations and Interactions by Endogenous ROS-Triggered Cross-Linker Release.

ABSTRACT: The study of in situ conformations and interactions of mitochondrial proteins plays a crucial role in understanding their biological functions. Current chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (CX-MS) has difficulty in achieving in-depth analysis of mitochondrial proteins for cells without genetic modification. Herein, this work develops the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive cross-linker delivery nanoparticles (R-CDNP) targeting mitochondria. R-CDNP contains mitochondria-targeting module triphenylphosphine, ROS-responsive module thioketal, loading module poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG), and cross-linker module disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). After targeting mitochondria, ROS-triggered cross-linker release improves the cross-linking coverage of mito
