Denaturing mass photometry for rapid optimization of chemical protein-protein cross-linking reactions

ABSTRACT: Chemical cross-linking reactions (XL) are an important strategy for studying protein-protein interactions (PPIs), including low abundant sub-complexes, in structural biology. However, choosing XL reagents and conditions is laborious and mostly limited to analysis of protein assemblies that can be resolved using SDS-PAGE. To overcome these limitations, we develop here a denaturing mass photometry (dMP) method for fast, reliable and user-friendly optimization and monitoring of chemical XL reactions. The dMP is a robust 2-step protocol that ensures 95 % of irreversible denaturation within only 5 min. We show that dMP provides accurate mass identification across a broad mass range (30 kDa-5 MDa) along with direct label-free relative quantification of all coexisting XL species (sub-complexes and aggregates). We compare dMP with SDS-PAGE and observe that, unlike the benchmark, dMP is time-efficient (3 min/triplicate), requires significantly less material (20-100x) and affords single molecule sensitivity. To illustrate its utility for routine structural biology applications, we show that dMP affords screening of 20 XL conditions in 1 h, accurately identifying and quantifying all coexisting species. Taken together, we anticipate that dMP will have an impact on ability to structurally characterize more PPIs and macromolecular assemblies, expected final complexes but also sub-complexes that form en route.

Expanding the depth and sensitivity of cross-link identification by differential ion mobility using FAIMS

Project description:In cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), the depth and sensitivity of cross-link detection is often limited by the low abundance of cross-links compared to non-cross-linked peptides in the digestion mixture. To improve the identification efficiency of cross-links, here we present a gas-phase separation strategy using high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) coupled to the Orbitrap Tribrid mass spectrometers. By enabling an additional peptide separation step in gas phase using the FAIMS device, we increase the number of cross-link identification by 22% for a medium complex sample and 59% for strong cation exchange-fractionated HEK293T cell lysate in XL-MS experiments using disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO) cross-linker. When disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) cross-linker is in use, we are able to boost cross-link identification by 89% for the medium and 100% for the highly complex sample comparing to the analyses without FAIMS . Furthermore, we show that for medium complex samples, FAIMS enables the collection of single-shot XL-MS data with comparable depth to the corresponding sample fractionated by chromatography-based approaches. Altogether, we demonstrate FAIMS is highly beneficial for XL-MS studies by expanding the proteome coverage of cross-links while improving the efficiency and confidence of cross-link identification.

Optimized TMT-based quantitative cross-linking mass spectrometry strategy for large-scale interactomic studies

Project description:Cross-linking mass spectrometry is a powerful method for the investigation of protein-protein interactions from highly complex samples. XL-MS combined with tandem mass tag labeling holds the promise of large-scale PPI quantification. However, a robust and efficient TMT-based XL-MS quantification method has not yet been established due to the lack of a benchmarking dataset and thorough evaluation of various MS parameters. To tackle these limitations, we generate a two-interactome dataset by spiking-in TMT-labeled cross-linked E. coli lysate into TMT-labeled cross-linked HEK293T lysate using a defined mixing scheme. Using this benchmarking dataset, we assess the efficacy of cross-link identification and accuracy of cross-link quantification using different MS acquisition strategies. For identification, we compare various MS2- and MS3-based XL-MS methods, and optimize stepped HCD energies for TMT-labeled cross-links. We observed a need for notably higher fragmentation energies compared to unlabeled cross-links. For quantification, we assess the quantification accuracy and dispersion of MS2-, MS3- and synchronous precursor selection-MS3-based methods. We show that a stepped HCD-MS2 method with stepped collision energies 36-42-48 provides a vast number of quantifiable cross-links with high quantification accuracy. This widely applicable method paves the way for multiplexed quantitative PPI characterization from complex biological systems.

Real-time library search assisted identification of cross-links increases resolution for structural modeling and interactome mapping

Project description:Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is a universal tool of molecular and structural biology for probing structural dynamics and protein-protein interactions in vitro and in vivo. Although cross-linked peptides are naturally less abundant than their unlinked counterparts, recent experimental advances improved cross-link identification by enriching the cross-linker modified peptides chemically with the use of enrichable cross-linkers. However, mono-links (i.e., peptides modified with a hydrolyzed cross-linker) still hinder efficient cross-link identification because a large proportion of measurement time is spent on MS2 acquisitions of mono-links. Currently, cross-links and mono-links cannot be separated by sample preparation techniques or chromatography because they are chemically almost identical. Here, we found that based on the intensity ratios of four diagnostic peaks when using PhoX/tert-butyl-PhoX cross-linkers, cross-links and mono-links can be partially distinguished. Harnessing their characteristic intensity ratios for real-time library search (RTLS)-based triggering of full scans increased the number of cross-link identifications from both single protein samples and intact E. coli cells. Furthermore, RTLS improves cross-link identification from unenriched samples and short gradients, which is beneficial in high-throughput approaches and when instrument time or sample amount is limited.

The structures of R124H and R555W TGFBIp suggest a direct role of the mutated residues in the aggregation of TGFBIp in granular corneal dystrophy

Project description:Protein aggregation in the outermost layers of the cornea, leading to cloudy vision and in severe cases blindness, is linked to mutations in the extracellular matrix protein, transforming growth factor-β-induced protein (TGFBIp). Among the most frequent disease-causing mutations are R124H and R555W, both associated with granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) characterized by early-onset amorphous aggregation. The molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation in GCD are largely unknown. In this study, we determined the crystal structures of R124H and R555W. Whereas no structural changes of mutated monomeric TGFBIp can explain its aggregation propensity, the two mutations facilitate a new dimer interface in the crystal packing, not appearing in the wild-type structure. The interface in both R124H and R555W structures are centered on residue 124 in one TGFBIp molecule and 555 in a second TGFBIp molecule. This unique interface of R124H and R555W is not compatible with arginines at positions 124 and 555 as seen in wild-type TGFBIp. Hence, this intermolecular interaction may underlie the similar aggregation behavior exhibited by the two TGFBIp mutants in vivo. Using cross-linking mass spectrometry, we identified and characterized a dimer of TGFBIp wild-type and mutants in solution. The soluble dimers also involve interactions between the N- and C-terminal domains of two TGFBIp molecules but is not identical to the crystal packing dimer interface involving R124H and R555W. Targeting of the crystal packing dimer interface might offer new opportunities for therapeutic intervention to treat patients with GCD.

HAP40 orchestrates huntingtin structure for differential interaction with polyglutamine expanded exon 1

Project description:Huntington’s disease results from expansion of a glutamine-coding CAG tract in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, producing an aberrantly functioning form of HTT. Both wildtype and disease-state HTT form a hetero-dimer with HAP40 of unknown functional relevance. We demonstrate in vivo and in cell models that HTT and HAP40 cellular abundance are coupled. Integrating data from a 2.6 Å cryo-electron microscopy structure, cross-linking mass spectrometry, small-angle X-ray scattering, and modeling, we provide a near-atomic-level view of HTT, its molecular interaction surfaces and compacted domain architecture, orchestrated by HAP40. Native mass-spectrometry reveals a remarkably stable hetero-dimer, potentially explaining the cellular inter-dependence of HTT and HAP40. The exon 1 region of HTT is dynamic but shows greater conformational variety in the polyglutamine expanded mutant than wildtype exon 1. Our data provide a foundation for future functional and drug discovery studies targeting Huntington’s disease and illuminate the structural consequences of HTT polyglutamine expansion.

Enabling Photoactivated Cross-linking Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Protein Complexes by Novel MS-cleavable Cross-linkers

Project description:Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is a powerful tool for studying protein-protein interactions and elucidating architectures of protein complexes. While residue-specific XL-MS studies have been very successful, accessibility of interaction regions non-targetable by specific chemistries remain difficult. Photochemistry has shown great potential in capturing those regions due to nonspecific reactivity, but low yields and high complexities of photocross-linked products have hindered their identification, limiting current studies predominantly to single proteins. Here, we describe the development of three novel MS-cleavable heterobifunctional cross-linkers, namely SDASO (Succinimidyl diazirine sulfoxide), to enable fast and accurate identification of photocross-linked peptides by MSn. The MSn-based workflow allowed SDASO XL-MS analysis of the yeast 26S proteasome, demonstrating the feasibility of photocross-linking of large protein complexes for the first time. Comparative analyses have revealed that SDASO cross-linking is robust and captures interactions complementary to residue-specific reagents, providing the foundation for future applications of photocross-linking in complex XL-MS studies.

Notch-Jagged signaling complex defined by an interaction mosaic

Project description:The Notch signaling system links cellular fate to that of its neighbors, driving proliferation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation in metazoan organisms, whereas dysfunction leads to debilitating developmental disorders and cancers. Here we probe the molecular architecture of mammalian Notch1 full ectodomain in complex with the canonical ligand Jagged1 using cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS). Our data reveals that three Jagged1 sites, C2-epidermal growth factor (EGF) 1, EGF10 and cysteine-rich domain (CRD), are in proximity to the Notch1 negative regulatory region (NRR) in the Notch1-Jagged1 full ectodomain complex. We verified direct interactions and identified additional interacting regions by quantitative-binding experiments. In addition, XL-MS and structural analysis reveal Notch1 and Jagged1 ectodomain intramolecular interactions and structural flexibility that support the formation of backfolded architectures. Together the data suggest a direct and intricate role for the different extracellular regions of Notch1 and Jagged1 in the activation and regulation of Notch1 signaling.

Structural Assessment of the Full-Length Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 by Mass Spectrometry-Guided Computational Modeling

Project description:The tetrameric tumor suppressor p53 represents a great challenge for 3D structural analysis due to its high degree of intrinsic disorder (ca. 40%). We developed and applied an integrative structural biology approach combining complementary techniques of structural mass spectrometry (MS), namely cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), protein footprinting, and hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), with advanced protein structure prediction approaches to gain insights into the disordered C-terminal region of p53. Additionally, we evaluate possible differences in p53 regarding solvent accessibility and topology upon DNA binding. Our quantitative XL-MS and lysine labeling data show no major conformational differences in p53 between DNA-bound and DNA-free states. Integration of experimental data generate p53 models for p53’s intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) that reflect substantial compaction of the molecule. Our models provide the most detailed description of the relationship between p53’s folded regions and IDRs that is available to date. The synergies between complementary structural MS techniques and computational modeling as pursued in our integrative approach is envisioned to serve as general strategy for studying intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and IDRs.
