Project description:As applications in mass spectrometry continue to expand into the field of structural biology, there have been an increasing number of studies on noncovalent biological assemblies. Ensuring that protein complexes maintain native-like conformations and architectures during the transition from solution to the gas phase is a key aim. Probing composition and arrangement of subunits of multi-charged complexes via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) may lead to protein unfolding and the redistribution of charges on the constituent subunits, leading to asymmetric charge partitioning and ejection of a high-charged monomer. Additionally, the overall dissociation efficiency of many ion activation methods is often suppressed for low charge states, hindering the effectiveness of MS/MS for complexes that have low charge density. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) of proteins using 193 nm photons is a high-energy alternative to collisional activation and demonstrates little to no charge state dependence. Here the symmetry of charge partitioning upon UVPD is evaluated for an array of multimeric protein complexes as a function of initial charge state. The results demonstrate that high laser energies (3 mJ) for UVPD induces more symmetric charge partitioning and ejection of low-charged, presumably compact monomers than higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD).

Project description:Characterization of all gas-phase charge sites of natively sprayed proteins and peptides is demonstrated using 193 nm UVPD. The high sequence coverage offered by UVPD is exploited for the accurate determination of charge sites in protein systems up to 18 kDa, allowing charge site to be studied as a function of protein conformation and the presence of disulfide bonds. Charging protons are found on both basic sidechains and on the amide backbone of less basic amino acids such as serine, glutamine, and proline. UVPD analysis was performed on the 3+ charge state of melittin, the 5+ to 8+ charge states of ubiquitin, and the 8+ charge state of reduced and oxidized β-lactoglobulin. The location of charges in gas-phase proteins is known to impact structure; molecular modeling of different charge site motifs of 3+ melittin demonstrates how placement of protons in simulations can dramatically impact the predicted structure of the molecule. The location of positive charge sites in ubiquitin and β-lactoglobulin are additionally found to depend on the presence or absence of salt-bridges, columbic repulsion across the length of the peptide, and protein conformation. Charge site isomers are demonstrated for ubiquitin and β-lactoglobulin but found to be much less numerous than previously predicted.

Project description:We analyzed the backbone fragmentation behavior of tryptic peptides of a four protein mixture and of E. coli lysate subjected to Ultraviolet Photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm on a commercially available UVPD-equipped tribrid mass spectrometer. We obtained 15,178 high-confidence peptide-spectrum matches by additionally recording a reference beam-type collision-induced dissociation (HCD) spectrum of each precursor. Type a, b and y ions were most prominent in UVPD spectra and median sequence coverage ranged from 5.8% (at 5 ms laser excitation time) to 45.0% (at 100 ms). Overall sequence fragment intensity remained relatively low (median: 0.4% (5 ms) to 16.8% (100 ms) of total intensity) and remaining precursor intensity high. Sequence coverage and sequence fragment intensity ratio correlated with precursor charge density, suggesting that UVPD at 213 nm may suffer from newly formed fragments sticking together due to non-covalent interactions. UVPD fragmentation efficiency therefore might benefit from supplemental activation, as was shown for ETD. Aromatic amino acids, most prominently tryptophan, facilitated UVPD. This points at aromatic tags as possible enhancers of UVPD. Data are available via ProteomeXchange and on spectrumviewer.org/db/UVPD_213nm_trypPep

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has emerged as a useful technique for characterizing peptide, protein, and protein complex primary and secondary structure. 193 nm UVPD, specifically, enables extensive covalent fragmentation of the peptide backbone without the requirement of a specific side chain chromophore and with no precursor charge state dependence. We have modified a commercial quadrupole-ion mobility-time-of-flight (Q-IM-TOF) mass spectrometer to include 193 nm UVPD following ion mobility. Ion mobility (IM) is a gas-phase separation technique that enables separation of ions by their size, shape, and charge, providing an orthogonal dimension of separation to mass analysis. Following instrument modifications, we characterized the performance of, and information that could be generated from, this new setup using the model peptides substance P, melittin, and insulin chain B. These experiments show extensive fragmentation across the peptide backbone and a variety of ion types as expected from 193 nm UVPD. Additionally, y-2 ions (along with complementary a+2 and b+2 ions) N-terminal to proline were observed. Combining the IM separation and mobility gating capabilities with UVPD, we demonstrate the ability to accomplish both mass- and mobility-selection of bradykinin des-Arg9 and des-Arg1 peptides followed by complete sequence characterization by UVPD. The new capabilities of this modified instrument demonstrate the utility of combining IM with UVPD because isobaric species cannot be independently selected with a traditional quadrupole alone.

Project description:Nuclear speckles (NSs) are viscoelastic network fluids formed via phase separation coupled to percolation (PSCP). Intermolecular cross-links of SRRM2, a key scaffold of NSs lead to the emergence of system-spanning networks, although the physiochemical grammar governing SRRM2 PSCP remains poorly decoded. Here, we demonstrate that SRRM2 is extensively phosphorylated within the intrinsically disordered domain (IDR) that are prominently positively charged. Rather than attaching phosphate groups to specific sites, the purpose of phosphorylation is to create alternating charge blocks. Employing a suite of biophysical approach, we show that in contrast to the leading theories that charge blocks lower condensation threshold of biopolymers, this specific charge pattern does not markedly alter the percolation threshold of SRRM2 in cells. Instead, SRRM2 charge blocks intensify intra-network molecular interactions to modulate the material properties of mesoscopic SRRM2 condensates. We further identify casein kinase 2 (CK2) as the upstream enzyme to catalyze SRRM2 phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of SRRM2 IDR by CK2 facilitates NS relaxation under physiological condition, but can be employed to safeguard genome stability in times of DNA damage. Our findings reveal important regulatory mechanisms of charge blocks and functionality in modulating the material properties of biomolecular condensates in cells. We interpretate our observation in the theoretical framework of stickers-and-spacers model. In addition to the chemistry- or sequence-specific associative interaction, spacers (e.g. SRRM2 IDR) can also engage in charge pattern-specific molecular interactions, which are spatiotemporally regulated, to dictate the biophysical properties of percolated macromolecular assemblies.

Project description:Components of the transcriptional machinery are dynamically compartmentalized by weak multivalent interactions, yet we know little about how specificity or selectivity of partitioning is achieved. Here we show that condensates composed of the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of MED1 (MED1_IDR) selectively partition positive regulators of transcription(SPT6, CTR9, IWS1) with RNA Pol II while excluding negative regulators of transcription (NELF and HP1a).This selective compartmentalization by MED1_IDR is sufficient to activate transcription and is required for gene activation during a cell state transition. Surprisingly, the IDRs of partitioned proteins are sufficient to recapitulate selective compartmentalization. We find that IDR-mediated selective partitioning requires multivalent blocks of positive and negative charge on MED1_IDR and IDRs of partitioned proteins. The charge patterns required for partitioning are also required for gene activation. These findings demonstrate that proteins can be functionally compartmentalized by specific multivalent interactions driven by the charge patterning within disordered regions.

Project description:Structural characterization of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) by mass spectrometry has long been a formidable analytical challenge owing to their high structural variability and the propensity for sulfate decomposition upon activation with low-energy ion activation methods. While derivatization and complexation workflows have aimed to generate informative spectra using low-energy ion activation methods, alternative ion activation methods present the opportunity to obtain informative spectra from native GAG structures. Both electron- and photon-based activation methods, including electron detachment dissociation (EDD), negative electron transfer dissociation (NETD), and extreme ultraviolet photon activation, have been explored previously to overcome the limitations associated with low-energy activation methods for GAGs and other sulfated oligosaccharides. Further, implementation of such methods on high-resolution mass spectrometers has aided the interpretation of the complex spectra generated. Here, we explore ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) implemented on an Orbitrap mass spectrometer as another option for structural characterization of GAGs. UVPD spectra for both dermatan and heparan sulfate structures display extensive fragmentation including both glycosidic and cross-ring cleavages with the extent of sulfate retention comparable to that observed by EDD and NETD. In addition, the relatively short activation time of UVPD makes it promising for higher throughput analysis of GAGs in complex mixtures.
