Download or read book Coupling Liquid Chromatography to Capillary Zone Electrophoresis Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Deep Top down Proteomics written by Elijah Neal McCool and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomes are very complex with a large number of unique proteoforms spread across a wide concentration dynamic range. This means that an MS-based platform with highly efficient separation and highly sensitive detection of proteoforms is required. Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has been suggested as one such platform. When coupled to offline liquid chromatography-based fractionation, CZE-MS/MS has proven to be invaluable to the TDP community.In Chapter 2, the first optimization of dynamic pH junction-based sample stacking for TDP is provided along with one of the first comparisons of reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) and CZE-MS/MS. Optimization of dynamic pH junction is performed with a standard protein mixture, and this platform was ultimately applied to an Eschericia coli (E. coli) whole cell lysate. This resulted in the largest TDP dataset for single-shot CZE-MS/MS. The comparison of RPLC-MS/MS and CZE-MS/MS also included analysis of an E. coli cell lysate and resulted in high numbers of identifications and highlighted the various pros and cons of each method.In Chapter 3, two dimensional LC fractionation (size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and RPLC) was coupled to CZE-MS/MS for deep TDP of E. coli cells. This study resulted in the largest TDP dataset, at the time, for E. coli, identifying 5700 proteoforms and 850 proteins. We were also able to identify and localize various interesting PTMs and estimate protein abundances using a spectral counting method. From this study it was clear thatour platform was comparable to other RPLC-MS/MS methods for deep TDP in terms of number of proteoform identifications and total instrument time.In Chapter 4, we applied our TDP platform to two isogenic colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, SW480 and SW620, from primary and metastatic tumors. Genetic changes have been known for a long time to affect CRC progression but this was the first proteoform-level deep TDP study of CRC metastasis. In total, we identified over 23000 proteoforms and over 2000 proteins, for the largest TDP dataset of any cell type and was a 400% increase in terms of identifications over previous deep TDP studies. We used a special database searching tool to identify single amino acid variants (SAAVs) for the largest dataset of proteoforms containing SAAVs. Quantitative analysis identified 460 proteoforms with significant differences in abundance between SW480 and SW620. Several of these proteoforms were also phosphorylated which could further impact disease progression and outcome for a specific patient phenotype and could serve as biomarkers for deciding how to treat a patient or for drug development.In Chapter 5, both activated ion electron transfer dissociation (AI-ETD) and ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm were coupled to CZE for deep TDP of E. coli and zebrafish brain samples, respectively. Optimized CZE-AI-ETD and CZE-UVPD resulted in large numbers of proteoform identifications, and many important modifications were identified and localized using these effective fragmentation techniques. This included N-terminal acetylation, methylation, S-thiolation, disulfide bonds, and lysine succinylation.In Chapter 6, a variety of insights into the future of TDP are provided. This includes important applications for TDP, such as personalized medicine, drug development, embryonic development, and pathogen identification. Also, a few advancements to the TDP workflow that may have increased focus on in the future are mentioned.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with online liquid-phase separation is the major tool for large-scale bottom-up proteomics (peptide-centric), top-down proteomics (proteoform-centric), and native proteomics (protein complex-centric). While liquid chromatography (LC)-MS is the dominant method for proteomics at different levels, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS has emerged as a valuable and complementary technique, which provides high-capacity separation and highly sensitive detection of peptides, proteoforms and even protein complexes under native conditions. This work focuses on developing novel CZE-MS/MS methods for multi-level proteomics (bottom-up, top-down, and native).In Chapter 2, a high-throughput bottom-up proteomics workflow was developed by coupling immobilized trypsin-based speedy protein digestion with fast CZE-MS/MS. Immobilized trypsin produced almost the same digestion performance as free trypsin for complex proteomes with about 50-times higher speed (15 min vs. 12 h). Integration of immobilized trypsin (IM)-based rapid protein cleavage and fast CZE-MS/MS enables the identification of thousands of proteins from the mouse brain proteome in only 3 h, which is significantly faster than the typical LC-MS-based bottom-up proteomics workflow (3 h vs. >12 h). The high-throughput workflow was expected to be useful for bottom-up proteomics of human clinical samples (e.g., serum and urine).Chapter 3 presents the first example of CZE-MS/MS with activated ion-electron capture dissociation (AI-ECD) on a high-end quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer for top-down proteomics, enabling high-resolution separation, highly sensitive detection, and extensive gas-phase backbone cleavages of proteoforms. The CZE-AI-ECD method will be useful to the top-down proteomics community for the comprehensive characterization of proteoforms in complex proteomes. Chapter 4 and 5 focus on the development of novel CZE-MS methods for native proteomics, delineating proteins and protein complexes under native conditions. In Chapter 4, a native CZE-MS/MS platform with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer was established for native proteomics of a complex proteome (E. coli), leading to the identification of 23 protein complexes in discovery mode. The work represents the first example of native proteomics via coupling online liquid-phase separation to native MS and MS/MS. The characterization of large protein complexes (up to 200 kDa) was also achieved with a new CZE-MS system on a high-end Q-TOF mass spectrometer.In Chapter 5, a novel native capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF)-assisted CZE-MS method is presented for the characterization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with large sample loading capacity and high separation resolution. Using the method, the potential separations of different conformations of the SigmaMAb and the detection of its various glyco-proteoforms and homodimer were documented. The method separated the NISTmAb into three peaks with a microliter sample loading volume, corresponding to its different proteoforms. In addition, eight glyco-proteoforms of the NISTmAb and its homodimer were detected. The results demonstrate the potential of the native cIEF-assisted CZE-MS method for advancing the characterization of large proteins (i.e., mAbs) and protein complexes under native conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top-down proteomics (TDP) enables the proteome profiling of biological subjects at the proteoform level and understanding of differential functions associated with proteoform heterogeneity, such as sequence variation, post-translational modifications (PTMs), etc. Drastic advances on TDP technologies (e.g. sample preparation, separation/fractionation, fragmentation, bioinformatics, etc.) have been achieved in the past decades. Further improvements in separation remain desired for better analysis throughput and deeper proteome coverage. Capillary electrophoresis (CE), including capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF), provide superior separation performance for proteoforms. This dissertation focuses on the advancement of CE-MS-based tools on throughput, separation resolution, and capacity for TDP and utility of these tools for biological applications.In Chapter 2, we developed high-throughput and high-capacity cIEF-MS/MS platforms. The high-throughput platform enables efficient identification and quantification of proteoforms (less than one hour per run), whereas the high-capacity cIEF-MS/MS provides large number of proteoform identifications (IDs, more than 700 proteoforms in a single shot analysis) which is valuable for deep TDP. In Chapter 3, we further improved the stability and robustness of cIEF-MS platform using optimized linear polyacrylamide (LPA) capillary coating and catholyte with lower pH (pH~10). The work achieved high-resolution characterization and accurate isoelectric point (pI) determination of charge variants (~0.1 pI difference) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In Chapter 4, we developed a nondenaturing cIEF-MS platform for ultrahigh resolution characterization of microheterogeneity of a variety of protein complexes. Typically, pI determinations of variants in protein complexes allow us to decipher how sequence or PTM variations modulate the pIs of the protein complexes. In Chapter 5, while CZE-MS/MS is a well-developed approach, for the first time, we coupled FAIMS to CZE-MS/MS to facilitate online gas-phase fractionation of proteoforms. The FAIMS greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the system and expanded the number of proteoform IDs, especially large proteoform IDs. The work renders CZE-FAIMS-MS/MS as a new powerful multidimensional platform for deep TDP.In Chapters 6 and 7, we applied cIEF-MS/MS and CZE-MS/MS for studying the sexual dimorphism of zebrafish brains and proteoform-level differences between metastatic and nonmetastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, respectively. In Chapter 6, quantitative TDP of thousands of proteoforms from male and female zebrafish brains by cIEF-MS/MS based approach discovered various overexpressed proteoforms in male or female brains that are closely associated with hormone activity. In Chapter 7, We performed deep TDP study of non-metastatic and metastatic CRC cells (SW480 and SW620) using CZE-MS/MS based multidimensional platform and identified more than 20,000 proteoforms of over 2,000 proteins from the two cell lines, which presents around 5-folds higher number of proteoform IDs in comparison with previous TDP studies of human cancer cells. The work revealed significant discrepancies between the two isogenic cell lines regarding proteoform and single amino acid variant (SAAV) profiles. Quantitative data disclosed differentially expressed proteoforms between the two cell lines and their corresponding genes were connected to cancer pathways and networks.

Download or read book Modern Proteomics Sample Preparation Analysis and Practical Applications written by Hamid Mirzaei and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume serves as a proteomics reference manual, describing experimental design and execution. The book also shows a large number of examples as to what can be achieved using proteomics techniques. As a relatively young area of scientific research, the breadth and depth of the current state of the art in proteomics might not be obvious to all potential users. There are various books and review articles that cover certain aspects of proteomics but they often lack technical details. Subject specific literature also lacks the broad overviews that are needed to design an experiment in which all steps are compatible and coherent. The objective of this book was to create a proteomics manual to provide scientists who are not experts in the field with an overview of: 1. The types of samples can be analyzed by mass spectrometry for proteomics analysis. 2. Ways to convert biological or ecological samples to analytes ready for mass spectral analysis. 3. Ways to reduce the complexity of the proteome to achieve better coverage of the constituent proteins. 4. How various mass spectrometers work and different ways they can be used for proteomics analysis 5. The various platforms that are available for proteomics data analysis 6. The various applications of proteomics technologies in biological and medical sciences This book should appeal to anyone with an interest in proteomics technologies, proteomics related bioinformatics and proteomics data generation and interpretation. With the broad setup and chapters written by experts in the field, there is information that is valuable for students as well as for researchers who are looking for a hands on introduction into the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of proteomics.

Download or read book Capillary Electrophoresis mass Spectrometry for Top down Protein Analysis written by Alexander Stolz and published by . This book was released on 2023* with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the high sensitivity, selectivity, and the possibility for detailed molecular characterisation, mass spectrometry (MS) is the analytical method of choice for top-down protein biomarker discovery. Due to the low sample consumption, high separation efficiency, and the unique and complementary selectivity, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS represents an interesting alternative to the traditionally used liquid chromatography (LC)-MS platforms. In this thesis, instrumental and methodological concepts were developed to increase the potential of CZE-MS for intact proteins. The first part of the thesis describes the development of a nanoflow sheath liquid interface for the efficient coupling of CZE and MS. The interface was developed with a focus on fast setup, easy handling and analytical robustness and has been used for most applications in this thesis. Furthermore, a CZE-MS screening platform for the identification and characterisation of known and unknown Hb variants from DBS samples was developed. The application of SMIL coatings enables efficient separation of closely-related proteoforms and even positional isomers of glycated Hb on the intact level. In the last part of the thesis, nanoLC and CZE-MS were coupled in a heart-cut approach using a polymer nanoliter valve. The platform was used for the glycosylation profiling of heterogeneous alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP). This approach enables the assignment of notably more glycoforms from a lower concentrated AGP sample, compared to CZE-MS alone. In a proof-of-concept study, the platform was further extended to operate in the selective comprehensive mode. With a single injection, 19% more glycoforms were assigned compared to the heart-cut approach with 3 injections. The here presented instrumental and methodological concepts show the great potential of CZE-MS in the context of clinical protein analysis. Especially the combination of LC and CZE in multidimensional separation platforms shows great potential.

This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key experiment in biomedical research is monitoring the expression of different proteins in order to detect changes that occur in biological systems under different experimental conditions. The method that is most widely used is the Western blot analysis. While Western blot is a workhorse in laboratories studying protein expression and has several advantages, it also has a number of significant limitations. In particular, the method is semi-quantitative with limited dynamic range. Western blot focuses on a single protein per sample with only a small number of representative samples analyzed in an experiment. New quantitative tools have been needed for some time to at least supplement, & possibly replace, the Western blot. Mass spectrometric methods have begun to compete with Western blot for routine quantitative analyses of proteins. One of these methods is based on the tandem mass spectrometry technique of selected reaction monitoring (SRM), which is also called multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Selected reaction monitoring is actually an older tandem mass spectrometry technique, first described in the late 70s, that is widely utilized in the quantitative analysis of small molecules like drugs & metabolites. The use of selected reaction monitoring for the quantitative analysis of proteins has a number of advantages. Most importantly, it is fundamentally quantitative with a wide dynamic range. The output of the analysis is a numerical result that can range over several orders of magnitude. Other advantages include sufficient specificity & sensitivity to detect low abundance proteins in complex mixtures. Finally, selected reaction monitoring can be multiplexed to allow the quantitative analysis of relatively large numbers of proteins in a single sample in a single experiment. This Brief will explain both the theoretical & experimental details of the selected reaction monitoring experiment as it is applied to proteins.

Download or read book Towards Proteome on a chip written by Rafał Marszałek and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Column-based separation techniques, such as liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis (CE), are often used to facilitate the hyphenation and sample transfer to a spectroscopic analysis stage due to their ability to be operated in a highly automatic and high-throughput style. Although there is some evidence in the literature for the use of capillary electrophoresis to deposit samples on a solid substrate for further analysis with mass spectrometry (MS) or other techniques, only a few examples of continuous deposition have so far been demonstrated. All of these, moreover, deposit sample at high substrate velocities, leading to the analyte zones spread over large distances and to decreased signal density in the subsequent analysis. Additionally, it is mainly MS that is used for sample analysis (with only one example of protein immunoblotting detection demonstrated). Recent developments in the field of infrared spectroscopy have, however, led to the invention of novel techniques, e.g. electron-vibration-vibration two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (EVV 2DIR), which can be used for protein identification, quantification and other analysis. In this thesis a new workflow for top-down proteomic analysis (i.e. analysis of intact proteins) is proposed. In this strategy a number of mild separation steps - either fractionating the sample with size exclusion chromatography, sucrose gradients etc. or purification with affinity chromatography - are followed by capillary zone electrophoresis. CE is also used as an interface: the sample is slowly electrodeposited on the solid substrate. The speed of deposition ensures the high degree of analyte zone concentration on the substrate - leading to higher signal density and thus improving the sensitivity of any subsequent analysis. Finally, different optical read-out methods are employed for protein identification and quantitation, namely EVV 2DIR, modified Western blotting and imaging of the protein intrinsic (tryptophan) fluorescence. As the first step to establishing the workflow, an automated capillary electrophoresis instrument with a deposition interface was built and characterised in terms of its reproducibility. It was shown that an excellent migration time reproducibility of less than 0.5% can be achieved. Some inherent limitations of the interface are discussed in the thesis and the importance of the buffer system choice is emphasised. Additionally, a number of buffer systems were characterised in terms of their spectral and other properties to facilitate that choice. The interface platform was then applied to demonstrate feasibility of hyphenation between capillary electrophoresis and EVV 2DIR spectroscopy. In the proof-of-principle experiment five peptides were separated with CE, deposited on the solid substrate and subsequently imaged with intrinsic fluorescence read-out and EVV 2DIR. It was demonstrated that the peptide separations with the number of theoretical plates reaching 105 are attainable and the sample can be successfully deposited without loss of resolution. Due to the yet limited sensitivity of 2DIR read-out the final spectra of the deposited peptides were not obtained. As an alternative approach, coupling with the Western blotting read-out was suggested. Here, the chaperonin containing TCP-I was affinity purified, its subunits fractionated with CE and deposited on the nitrocellulose coated slides. The procedure was completed with the immunoblotting analysis. A proof-of-principle experiment was completed and the possible further improvements to the setup are discussed at length. 4.
