MS of Intact Complexes and Hybrid Technologies Elise Cai Bi/Ch132 11-27-12
Protein Complexes • Subunit composition, stoichiometry • Protein-protein interactions • Architectural organization • Dynamic changes
Native MS • MS of whole protein assemblies • Examine large, heterogeneous complexes • Determine subunit stoichiometry and dynamic changes
Native MS Limitations: • Cannot distinguish 3-D packing arrangements • Challenges to identifying subunit components • Transient and weak interactions • Gentle conditions introduce uncertainty • Heterogeneity of samples
Hybrid Technologies Integrating native MS with: • Quantitative proteomics • Quantitative interaction proteomics • Cross-linking MS • Ion mobility-MS
Quantitative Proteomics • Identify and quantify proteins in a sample • MS not inherently quantitative
Native MS and Quantitative Proteomics • Native MS challenges: • Transient interactors at substoichiometric levels • Many possible subunits of similar masses • Quantitative proteomics creates reference library of all potential candidates for native MS Reduced ambiguity of stoichiometric assignments
Quantitative Interaction Proteomics • Identify and quantify protein complex components from affinity purification (AP-MS) • Various quantification strategies • isotope-labeled reference peptides • label-free quantification
Native MS with Quantitative Interaction Proteomics • Both methods assess stoichiometry of protein complexes • --Quantitative interaction proteomics detects subtle changes in interaction partners • --Native MS determines absolute subunit • stoichiometry
Cross-linking MS (CXMS) • Identify protein contacts at peptide level • Problem: possible cross-links for n peptides= (n2+n)/2 • Analyzing CXMS datasets computationally expensive
Native MS with CXMS • CXMS precisely locates protein-protein interactions detected by native MS • Both techniques can be applied to heterogeneous environments • Both techniques analyze large protein assemblies in native state
Ion Mobility-MS • Separate ions by m/z and mobility in a carrier buffer gas
