Large-scale top-down proteomics of the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf and chloroplast proteomes.

ABSTRACT: We present a large-scale top-down proteomics (TDP) study of plant leaf and chloroplast proteins, achieving the identification of over 4700 unique proteoforms. Using capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with tandem mass spectrometry analysis of offline size-exclusion chromatography fractions, we identify 3198 proteoforms for total leaf and 1836 proteoforms for chloroplast, with 1024 and 363 proteoforms having post-translational modifications, respectively. The electrophoretic mobility prediction of capillary zone electrophoresis allowed us to validate post-translational modifications that impact the charge state such as acetylation and phosphorylation. Identified modifications included Trp (di)oxidation events on six chloroplast proteins that may represent novel targets of singlet oxygen
