Project description:Chemical cross-linking coupled with mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful strategy which enables global profiling of protein interactome with direct interaction interfaces in complex biological systems. The alkyne-tagged enrichable cross-linkers are preferred to improve the coverage of low-abundance cross-linked peptides, combined with click chemistry for biotin conjugation to allow the cross-linked peptides enrichment. However, a systematic evaluation on the efficiency of click approaches (protein-based or peptide-based) and diverse cleavable click chemistry ligands (acid, reduction, photo) for cross-linked peptides enrichment and release is lacking. Herein, together with in vivo chemical cross-linking by alkyne-tagged cross-linker, we explored the click chemistry-based enrichment approaches on protein and peptide level with three cleavable click chemistry ligands, respectively. By comparison, the approach of protein-based click chemistry conjugation with acid-cleavable tag was demonstrated to permit the most cross-linked peptides identification. The advancement of this strategy enhanced the proteome-wide cross-linking analysis, constructing a 5,518 protein-protein interactions network among 1,871 proteins with wide abundance distribution in cell. Therefore, all these results demonstrated a guideline value of our work for efficient cross-linked peptides enrichment, thus facilitated the in-depth profiling of protein interactome for functional analysis.
Project description:Acidic residues (Asp and Glu) have a high prevalence on protein surfaces, but cross-linking reactions targeting these residues are limited. Existing methods either require high-concentration coupling reagents or have low structural compatibility. Here we extended our previously reported “plant-and-cast” strategy to develop two heterobifunctional cross-linkers DE1 and OPAAZ. These cross-linking reaction proceeds at neutral pH and room temperature without coupling reagents.
Project description:We wanted to see where and how the protein p97 interacts with its partner proteins p37, PPI,Sds22 and I3. To this end a p97 derivative with genetically encoded crosslinking amino acid (p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine) was generated. After incubation with the partner proteins, photocross-linking and tryptic digest the resulting cross-linked peptides were analysed by mass spectrometry.
Project description:These data sets are part of a large study aimed at the comparison of experimental and computational workflows used in chemical cross-linking coupled to mass spectrometry. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein. Two different cross-linking chemistries were used: disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) and a combination of pimelic acid dihydrazide (PDH) and the coupling reagent, DMTMM.
