Mirror-image trypsin digestion and sequencing of D-proteins


ABSTRACT: The development of mirror-image biology systems and related applications is hindered by the lack of effective methods to sequence mirror-image (D-) proteins. Although natural-chirality (L-) proteins can be sequenced by bottom–up liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), the sequencing of long D-peptides and D-proteins with the same strategy requires digestion by a site-specific D-protease before mass analysis. Here we apply solid-phase peptide synthesis and native chemical ligation to chemically synthesize a mirror-image version of trypsin, a widely used protease for site-specific protein digestion. Using mirror-image trypsin digestion and LC–MS/MS, we sequence a mirror-image large subunit ribosomal protein (L25) and a mirror-image Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4), and distinguish between different mutants of D-Dpo4. We also perform writing and reading of digital information in a long D-peptide of 50 amino acids. Thus, mirror-image trypsin digestion in conjunction with LC–MS/MS may facilitate practical applications of D-peptides and D-proteins as potential therapeutic and informational tools.
