Project description:Group contribution (GC) methods are conventionally used in thermodynamics analysis of metabolic pathways to estimate the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔrG'o) of enzymatic reactions from limited experimental measurements. However, these methods are limited by their dependence on manually curated groups and inability to capture stereochemical information, leading to low reaction coverage. Herein, we introduce an automated molecular fingerprint-based thermodynamic analysis tool called dGPredictor that enables the consideration of stereochemistry within metabolite structures and thus increases reaction coverage. dGPredictor has comparable prediction accuracy compared to existing GC methods and can capture Gibbs energy changes for isomerase and transferase reactions, which exhibit no overall group changes. We also demonstrate dGPredictor's ability to predict the Gibbs energy change for novel reactions and seamless integration within de novo metabolic pathway design tools such as novoStoic for safeguarding against the inclusion of reaction steps with infeasible directionalities. To facilitate easy access to dGPredictor, we developed a graphical user interface to predict the standard Gibbs energy change for reactions at various pH and ionic strengths. The tool allows customized user input of known metabolites as KEGG IDs and novel metabolites as InChI strings (https://github.com/maranasgroup/dGPredictor).

Project description:Site-specific characterization of glycosylation requires intact glycopeptide analysis, and recent efforts have focused on how to best interrogate glycopeptides using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Beam-type collisional activation, i.e., higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD), has been a valuable approach, but stepped collision energy HCD (sceHCD) and electron transfer dissociation with HCD supplemental activation (EThcD) have emerged as potentially more suitable alternatives. Both sceHCD and EThcD have been used with success in large-scale glycoproteomic experiments, but they each incur some degree of compromise. Furthermore, N-glycoproteomics has made significant progress in the last few years, and there is growing interest in extending this progress to O-glycoproteomics, which necessitates comparisons of method performance for the two classes of glycopeptides. Here, we systematically explore the advantages and disadvantages of conventional HCD, sceHCD, ETD, and EThcD for intact glycopeptide analysis and comment on their suitability for both N- and O-glycoproteomic applications. For N-glycopeptides, HCD and sceHCD generate similar numbers of identifications, although sceHCD generally provides higher quality spectra. Both significantly outperform EThcD methods, indicating that ETD-based methods are not required for routine N-glycoproteomics. Conversely, ETD-based methods, especially EThcD, are indispensable for site-specific analyses of O-glycopeptides. Our data show that O-glycopeptides cannot be robustly characterized with HCD-centric methods that are sufficient for N-glycopeptides, and glycoproteomic methods aiming to characterize O-glycopeptides must be constructed accordingly.

Project description:Soluble ectodomains of Epstein Barr Virus glycoproteins gH/gL and gp42 were expressed in HEK293F cells for structural characterization by cryo electron microscopy. The purified material was additionally analyzed by LC-MS/MS after digestion with trypsin or chymotrypsin to identify N-linked glycosylation from EThcD glycopeptide fragmentation spectra.

Project description:Studying protein O-glycosylation remains an analytical challenge. Different from N-linked glycans, the O-glycosylation site is not within a known consensus sequence. Additionally, O-glycans are heterogeneous with numerous potential modification sites. Electron transfer dissociation (ETD) is the method of choice in analyzing these glycopeptides since the glycan side chain remains intact in ETD, and the glycosylation site can be localized on the basis of the c and z fragment ions. Nonetheless, new software is necessary for interpreting O-glycopeptide ETD spectra in order to expedite the analysis workflow. To address the urgent need, we studied the fragmentation of O-glycopeptides in ETD and found useful rules that facilitate their identification. By implementing the rules into an algorithm to score potential assignments against ETD-MS/MS data, we applied the method to glycopeptides generated from various O-glycosylated proteins including mucin, erythropoietin, fetuin, and an HIV envelope protein, 1086.C gp120. The site-specific O-glycopeptide composition was correctly assigned in every case, proving the merits of our method in analyzing glycopeptide ETD data. The algorithm described herein can be easily incorporated into other automated glycomics tools.

Project description:Collagens are the most abundant glycoproteins in the body. One characteristic of this protein family is that the amino acid sequence consists of repeats of three amino acids -(X-Y-Gly)n. Within this motif, the Y residue is often 4-hydroxyproline (HyP) or 5-hydroxylysine (HyK). Glycosylation in collagen occurs at the 5-OH group in HyK in the form of two glycosides, galactosylhydroxylysine (Gal-HyK) and glucosyl galactosylhydroxylysine (GlcGal-HyK). In collision induced dissociation (CID), collagen tryptic glycopeptides exhibit unexpected gas-phase dissociation behavior compared to typical N- and O-linked glycopeptides (i.e., in addition to glycosidic bond cleavages, extensive cleavages of the amide bonds are observed). The Gal- or GlcGal- glycan modifications are largely retained on the fragment ions. These features enable unambiguous determination of the amino acid sequence of collagen glycopeptides and the location of the glycosylation site. This dissociation pattern was consistent for all analyzed collagen glycopeptides, regardless of their length or amino acid composition, collagen type or tissue. The two fragmentation pathways-amide bond and glycosidic bond cleavage-are highly competitive in collagen tryptic glycopeptides. The number of ionizing protons relative to the number of basic sites (i.e., Arg, Lys, HyK, and N-terminus) is a major driving force of the fragmentation. We present here our experimental results and employ quantum mechanics calculations to understand the factors enhancing the labile character of the amide bonds and the stability of hydroxylysine glycosides in gas phase dissociation of collagen glycopeptides.

Project description:How specific protein associations regulate the function of membrane receptors remains poorly understood. Conformational flexibility currently hinders the structure determination of several classes of membrane receptors and associated oligomers. Here we develop EFDOCK-TM, a general method to predict self-associated transmembrane protein helical (TMH) structures from sequence guided by co-evolutionary information. We show that accurate intermolecular contacts can be identified using a combination of protein sequence covariation and TMH binding surfaces predicted from sequence. When applied to diverse TMH oligomers, including receptors characterized in multiple conformational and functional states, the method reaches unprecedented near-atomic accuracy for most targets. Blind predictions of structurally uncharacterized receptor tyrosine kinase TMH oligomers provide a plausible hypothesis on the molecular mechanisms of disease-associated point mutations and binding surfaces for the rational design of selective inhibitors. The method sets the stage for uncovering novel determinants of molecular recognition and signalling in single-spanning eukaryotic membrane receptors.

Project description:In this study, we used electron-transfer/higher energy collision dissociation (EThcD) fragmentation to develop a mass-spectrometric (MS) method for distinguishing between Ile and Leu in Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and a SARS-CoV-1 anti-receptor binding domain (RBD) Spike monoclonal antibody (mAb). Supplemental activation normalized collision energy (SA-NCE) values were optimized. Combinations of multiple enzyme digestions, coupled with higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) and EThcD fragmentation, were used to increase coverage of all amino acid residues of the antibody. The data was searched with Supernovo™, which generated a complete de novo sequence for the test mAb and two additional SARS-CoV-2 human mAbs, giving correct sequences for the variable regions and selection between Ile and Leu residues. We then used the method on an additional set of twenty-five anti-hemagglutinin (HA) influenza antibodies of unknown sequence and determined high confidence sequences for >99% of the complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Importantly, the recombinant expression of these mAbs verified their binding and specificity to the HA influenza antigen. Unique glycosylation sites were also identified for eight antibodies. Our findings indicate this methodology results in almost complete antibody sequence coverage with >90% of residues determined with high confidence. Ile/Leu residues can be differentiated and glycosylation sites can be reliably identified.

Project description:We estimated the reproducibility of tandem mass spectra for the widely used collision-induced dissociation (CID) of peptide ions. Using the Pearson correlation coefficient as a measure of spectral similarity, we found that the within-experiment reproducibility of fragment ion intensities is very high (about 0.85). However, across different experiments and instrument types/setups, the correlation decreases by more than 15% (to about 0.70). We further investigated the accuracy of current predictors of peptide fragmentation spectra and found that they are more accurate than the ad-hoc models generally used by search engines (e.g., SEQUEST) and, surprisingly, approaching the empirical upper limit set by the average across-experiment spectral reproducibility (especially for charge +1 and charge +2 precursor ions). These results provide evidence that, in terms of accuracy of modeling, predicted peptide fragmentation spectra provide a viable alternative to spectral libraries for peptide identification, with a higher coverage of peptides and lower storage requirements. Furthermore, using five data sets of proteome digests by two different proteases, we find that PeptideART (a data-driven machine learning approach) is generally more accurate than MassAnalyzer (an approach based on a kinetic model for peptide fragmentation) in predicting fragmentation spectra but that both models are significantly more accurate than the ad-hoc models.

Project description:MotivationRecent technological advances have made high-resolution mass spectrometers affordable to many laboratories, thus boosting rapid development of top-down mass spectrometry, and implying a need in efficient methods for analyzing this kind of data.ResultsWe describe a method for analysis of protein samples from top-down tandem mass spectrometry data, which capitalizes on de novo sequencing of fragments of the proteins present in the sample. Our algorithm takes as input a set of de novo amino acid strings derived from the given mass spectra using the recently proposed Twister approach, and combines them into aggregated strings endowed with offsets. The former typically constitute accurate sequence fragments of sufficiently well-represented proteins from the sample being analyzed, while the latter indicate their location in the protein sequence, and also bear information on post-translational modifications and fragmentation patterns.Availability and implementationFreely available on the web at http://bioinf.spbau.ru/en/twisterContactvyatkina@spbau.ru or ppevzner@ucsd.eduSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:Dissecting site-specific functions of O-glycosylation requires simultaneous identification and quantification of differentially ex-pressed O-glycopeptides by mass spectrometry. However, different dissociation methods have not been systematically compared in their performance in terms of identification, glycosite localization and quantification with isobaric labeling. Here, we conducted this comparison with higher-energy collision dissociation (HCD), electron-transfer/collision-induced dissociation (ETciD) and electron transfer/higher-energy collisional dissociation (EThcD), concluding that ETciD with optimal supplemental activation re-sulted in most identifications and unambiguous site localizations. We later described a pseudo EThcD strategy that in silico com-bines ETciD spectrum with HCD spectrum acquired sequentially for the same precursor, which combines the identification ad-vantage of ETciD with the superior reporter ion quality of HCD. We demonstrated its improvements in identifications and quantification of isobaric mass tag-labeled O-glycopeptides and showcased the discovery of the specific glycosylation sites of GalNAc tansferase 11 (GalNAc-T11) in HepG2 cells.
