Ultrasensitive Top-Down Proteomics Analysis of Low Number of Mammalian Cells Using a Nanodroplet Sample Processing Platform

ABSTRACT: We developed an ultrasensitive top down platform by incorporating a microfluidic sample preparation system, termed nanoPOTS (Nanodroplet Processing in One pot for Trace Samples), into a top down workflow. We determined that a unique combination of a nonionic detergent DDM with urea as a protein extraction buffer can significantly improve both protein extraction efficiency and sample recovery. The nanoPOTS-based top down platform can reproducibly and quantitatively identify ~170 to ~620 proteoforms from ~70 to ~770 HeLa cells containing < ~100 ng total proteins. Data was searched with TopPIC and MSPathFinder.
