Project description:Limited proteolysis coupled with mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) has emerged as a powerful technique for detecting protein structural changes and drug-protein interactions on a proteome-wide scale. However, there is no consensus on the best quantitative proteomics workflow for analyzing LiP-MS data. In this study, we comprehensively benchmarked two major quantification approaches—data-independent acquisition (DIA) and tandem mass tag (TMT) isobaric labeling—in combination with LiP-MS, using a drug-target deconvolution assay as a model system. Our results show that while TMT labeling enabled the quantification of more peptides and proteins with lower coefficients of variation (CVs), DIA-MS exhibited greater accuracy in identifying true drug targets and stronger dose-response correlation in protein targets peptides. Additionally, we evaluated the performance of freely available (FragPipe) versus commercial (Spectronaut) software tools for DIA-MS analysis, revealing that the choice between precision (FragPipe) and sensitivity (Spectronaut) largely depends on the specific experimental context. Our findings underscore the importance of selecting the appropriate LiP-MS quantification strategy based on the study objectives. This work provides valuable guidelines for researchers in structural proteomics and drug discovery, and highlights how advancements in mass spectrometry instrumentation, such as the Astral mass spectrometer, may further improve sensitivity and protein sequence coverage, potentially reducing the need for TMT labeling.

Project description:Here, we present FLiPPR, or FragPipe LiP (limited proteolysis) Processor, a tool that facilitates the analysis of data from limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) experiments following primary search and quantification in FragPipe. LiP-MS has emerged as a method that can provide proteome-wide information on protein structure and has been applied to a range of biological and biophysical questions. Although LiPMS can be carried out with standard laboratory reagents and mass spectrometers, analyzing the data can be slow and poses unique challenges compared to typical quantitative proteomics workflows. To address this, we leverage the fast, sensitive, and accurate search and label-free quantification algorithms in FragPipe and then process its output in FLiPPR. FLiPPR formalizes a specific data imputation heuristic that carefully uses missing data in LiP-MS experiments to report on the most significant structural changes. Moreover, FLiPPR introduces a new data merging scheme (from ions to cut-sites) and a protein-centric multiple hypothesis correction scheme, collectively enabling processed LiP-MS datasets to be more robust and less redundant. These improvements substantially strengthen statistical trends when previously published data are reanalyzed with the FragPipe/FLiPPR workflow. As a final feature, FLiPPR facilitates the collection of structural metadata to identify correlations between experiments and structural features. We hope that FLiPPR will lower the barrier for more users to adopt LiP-MS, standardize statistical procedures for LiP-MS data analysis, and systematize output to facilitate eventual larger-scale integration of LiP-MS data.

Project description:Limited proteolysis combined with mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) facilitates probing structural changes on a proteome-wide scale. This method leverages differences in the proteinase K accessibility of native protein structures to concurrently assess structural alterations for thousands of proteins in situ. Distinguishing different contributions to the LiP-MS signal, such as changes in protein abundance or chemical modifications, from structural protein alterations remains challenging. Here, we present the first comprehensive computational pipeline to infer structural alterations for LiP-MS data using a two-step approach. (1) We remove unwanted variations from the LiP signal that are not caused by protein structural effects and (2) infer the effects of variables of interest on the remaining signal. Using LiP-MS data from three species we demonstrate that this approach outperforms previously employed approaches. Our framework provides a uniquely powerful approach for deconvolving LiP-MS signals and separating protein structural changes from changes in protein abundance, post-translational modifications and alternative splicing. Our approach may also be applied to analyse other types of peptide-centric structural proteomics data, such as FPOP or molecular painting data.

Project description:Proteins regulate biological processes by changing their structure or abundance to accomplish a specific function. In response to any perturbation or stimulus, protein structure may be altered by a variety of molecular events, such as post translational modification, protein-protein interaction, aggregation, allostery, or binding to other molecules. The ability to probe these structural changes in thousands of proteins simultaneously in cells or tissues can provide valuable information about the functional state of a variety of biological processes and pathways. Here we present an updated protocol for LiP-MS, a proteomics technique combining limited proteolysis with mass spectrometry, to detect protein structural alterations in complex backgrounds and on a proteome-wide scale (Cappelletti et al., 2021; Piazza et al., 2020; Schopper et al., 2017). We describe advances in the throughput and robustness of the LiP-MS workflow and implementation of data-independent acquisition (DIA) based mass spectrometry, which together achieve high reproducibility and sensitivity, even on large sample sizes. In addition, we introduce MSstatsLiP, an R package dedicated to the analysis of LiP-MS data for the identification of structurally altered peptides and differentially abundant proteins. Altogether, the newly proposed improvements expand the adaptability of the method and allow for its wide use in systematic functional proteomic studies and translational applications.
