Rapid and Label-Free Structural Proteomics Using One-Step Swift Trypsin LiP-MS.

ABSTRACT: Limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) is a powerful approach for probing protein conformational changes on a proteome-wide scale. However, conventional workflows rely on a two-step digestion with proteinase K and trypsin, which increases complexity and reduces reproducibility and sensitivity. This study aimed to develop a simplified one-step protocol, termed Swift Trypsin LiP-MS (STLiP-MS), which uses a trypsin-immobilized spin column and high-speed centrifugation to achieve rapid and reproducible surface-limited proteolysis. Using HEK293 cell extracts, STLiP-MS identified 286 proteins exhibiting conformational changes upon phosphatase inhibition, including 37 enriched in phosphatase-related Gene Ontology categories. The method improvements, including suppression of predigestion a
