Quantitative Analysis of Isotope-coded Affinity Tag (ICAT) Labeled Proteins Based on Mass Spectrometry Kuen-Pin Wu Institute of Information Science Academia Sinica Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Outline • Protein Quantification • ICAT-based Approach • Implementation • Conclusion Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Protein Quantification (I) • Monitoring how protein expression changes. • Protein-protein interaction • Protein functions • Often, it is not necessary to measure the absolute amount of protein present but rather to compare the relative abundance of proteins in two related states. • Normal cell vs. cancer cell Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Protein Quantification (II) • Usually accomplished by combining • Protein separation • Sequence identification • 2DE-MS/MS • 2D gel + tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) • HPLC-MS/MS • High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) + MS/MS Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
ICAT-based Approaches Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
ICAT Reagent Biotin Linker (heavy or light) Reactive group Heavy reagent (d8): linker contains 8 2H Light reagent (d0): linker contains 8 1H Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
ICAT-based Protein Quantification Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Protein Identification • Identify proteins based on MS/MS scans • Mass spectra define peptides; peptides define proteins • Database search • Sequest • Mascot • De Novo sequencing Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Chromatogram Reconstruction • Why chromatogram reconstruction? • The elution of proteins/peptides in chromatography is continuous, but only some of them will be analyzed by mass spectrometry. Relative Abundance Relative Abundance Time Time Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Implementation(Chromatogram Reconstruction) Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Single Ion Chromatogram Reconstruction (I) • A MS spectrum Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Single Ion Chromatogram Reconstruction (II) • Smoothing by 3-point moving average Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Single Ion Chromatogram Reconstruction (III) • Peak selection and background subtraction Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Single Ion Chromatogram Reconstruction (IV) • Reconstructed ion chromatogram at one time point Extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Single Ion Chromatogram Reconstruction (V) • XIC smoothing (B-spline), peak selection and background subtraction Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Determine the Ratio of a Single Peptide Ion • Peak pair recognition • coefficient of correlation • Peak alignment • cICAT: 12C and 13C • Peak area calculation Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Determine the Ratio of a Peptide • Each peptide may have several charge states (ions) • Calculate the weight of each ion ratio • A weight is a function of peak area and shape similarity • Use Dixon’s test to delete outlier(s) • The peptide ratio is expressed as a weighted sum of the ion ratios Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Determine the Ratio of a Protein • Each protein may have several peptide • Select peptides that uniquely belongs to the protein • Calculate the weight of each selected peptide ratio • A weight is a function of protein identification score • Use Dixon’s test to delete outlier(s) • The protein ratio is expressed as a weighted sum of the selected peptide ratios Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
System Errors Elimination • We assume that most proteins have the same expression level in two cell states • Adjust final results to make the ratios of most proteins in the two cell states 1 Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
Conclusion • Current state of ICAT-based strategy • pros and cons • Sensitive to proteins with low abundance • We have developed a fully automatic tools to perform ICAT-based protein quantification • The cICAT reagent has been patented • Other isotopes are used in different approaches • Wet-lab experiments are difficult to perform well • Other quantification approaches such as ITRAQ are developing Kuen-Pin Wu, IIS, Academia Sinica
