  33. Application of amide proton exchange mass spectrometry for the study of protein-protein interactions. Mandell JG, Baerga-Ortiz A, Croy CH, Falick AM, Komives EA. Curr Protoc Protein Sci. 2005 Jun;Chapter 20:Unit20.9.

  34. Flow chart diagram of the two types of amide proton exchange experiments used to study protein-protein interfaces. • In the on-exchange experiment, the protein-protein complex shows a region in which less deuterium is incorporated when compared with control samples in which each protein is deuterated separately. • In the off-exchange experiment, each protein is allowed to incorporate deuterium separately, the deuterated proteins are allowed to complex, and then deuterium atoms are off-exchanged with hydrogen atoms by dilution in H2O; residues located at the protein-protein interface are characterized by the retention of deuterons in the protein-protein complex as compared with a lack of retention in control experiments in which only one of the two proteins is present.

  35. Example for on-exchange • Example of a peptide mass envelope resulting from pepsin digestion of (i) nondeuterated CheB protein; (ii) a deuterated protein complex involving CheB; and (iii) CheB alone after being subjected to the same deuteration period as the complex in (ii). The mass envelope broadens somewhat upon deuteration, and there is less deuteration of the peptide in the protein-protein complex than in the protein alone. • Graph of number of deuterons incorporated into the peptide shown in panel A versus deuteration time. Circles, uncomplexed CheB; squares, complexed CheB.

  36. Example for off-exchange (A) Nondeuterated peptide fragment from the uncomplexed protein. (B) Peptide fragment from the uncomplexed protein after on-exchange for 10 min. (C) Peptide fragment from the uncomplexed protein after on-exchange for 10 min followed by off-exchange for 10 min. Some residual deuteration is seen, due to the fact that some D2O remains in the H2O buffer used for off-exchange. (D) Peptide fragment from the complexed protein after on-exchange (performed on each component of the complex separately) for 10 min followed by off-exchange (performed on the bound complex) for 10 min. In the bound complex, the peptide retains deuterium throughout off-exchange, whereas in the uncomplexed state, it does not. This indicates that the peptide is probably part of the protein-protein interface region.

  37. What can we learn from H/D exchange? Structure of PPACK thrombin with loops colored according to the change in amide H/2H exchange seen upon activation of thrombin. The catalytic triad residues (H57CT, D102CT, and S195CT) are shown as sticks and in green. Loops in red become more dynamic upon thrombin activation. Loops in blue become less dynamic upon thrombin activation.

  39. Mass spectrometry is used at every level Pyramid of protein organization states.

  40. Conventional and nanoelectrospray MS of a GroEL complex complex. The nESI spectrum displays a series of peaks around 11500 m/z which correspond to the 800 kDa tetradecamer. Conventional ESI of the same solution results in poorly resolved “humps” centered on 12500, 16000, and 18500 m/z, identified as the tetradecamer, a dimer of tetradecamers, and a trimer of tetradecamers, respectively. There is also a signal at low m/z which corresponds to the GroEL monomer. The charge state distribution is broader and bimodal, and the formation of nonspecific oligomers is increased. These results indicate some of the benefits of using nESI. A smaller initial droplet size leads to less nonspecific aggregation (both protein−protein and protein−salt), and the gentler interface conditions possible, while still allowing adequate desolvation, lead to less dissociation and disruption of oligomeric structure. Solution conditions were 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.9, and a protein concentration of 2 μM tetradecamer. Spectra were obtained on a modified Q-ToF 2 (Waters/Micromass). nanoESI normal ESI

  41. Nonspecific aggregation during ion formation by nESI. Initial droplets undergo asymmetric fission, offspring droplets containing none, one, or several of the molecules of interest are formed (A). These droplets are on the order of 18 nm.50 A large proportion of the droplets formed are vacant, but at higher concentrations, more occupied droplets are formed (B). The relative proportions of the droplets which contained none, one, two, and three molecules vary according to the concentration. Droplets containing multiple copies of proteins eventually will lead to the formation of nonspecific aggregates. (simulation; charged residue model)

  42. Measured values @ different Vacc Theoretical mass Adduction of solvent molecules and buffer ions to proteins. (A) The theoretical deconvoluted spectrum of a pure protein complex would appear at a mass representing the primary sequence, with a peak width defined by the isotopic distribution and instrumental resolution The masses of protein complexes observed are higher (B) Examination of the 68+ charge state of GroEL at different activation voltages. The amount of accelerating voltage (low to high) required to achieve the indicated peak width is indicated by the color of the points in panel B.

  43. A Q-ToF type instrument customized for the transmission and analysis of protein complexes. (A) This analyzer is operates at a reduced RF frequency, allowing the selection and transmission of high m/z ions. The dissociation of protein complex ions requires higher collision cell gas pressures and accelerating voltages relative to “normal” parameters. (B) Improved transmission is achieved by adjusting the velocity of the ions, via altering the pressures in the instrument. C). As the pressure is increased from 9.3 μbar, the total signal intensity (width of the bars) increases. Examining how the ion signal divides between the four segments of the MCP plate suggests that, at pressures in the source region below and above the optimum, ions over- and undershoot the detector, respectively.

  44. Number of collisions experienced and time spent in the collision cell. Upper panel: the calculated number of collisions relative to mass, by cytochrome c monomer (violet), transthyretin tetramer (blue), MjHSP16.5 24mer (green), GroEL tetradecamer (orange), and the 70S ribosome from Thermus thermophilus (red). The inset shows the linear dependence of the number of collisions on pressure for MjHSP16.5. Lower panel: Time spent in the collision cell vs. mass. The inset shows the accelerating voltage and pressure dependency of this time (for MjHSP16.5, 47+ charge state). These calculations are based on a collision cell length of 18.5 cm, a gas pressure of 30 μbar argon, and an accelerating voltage of 200 V.

  45. Dependence on mass @ constant Ar pressure Energy conversion during collisional activation. Upper panel Simulations conversion of energy from kinetic to internal modes cytochrome c monomer (violet) transthyretin tetramer (blue) MjHSP16.5 24mer (green) GroEL tetradecamer (orange) 70S ribosome from Thermus thermophilus (red) Middle panel The effect of varying pressure on this energy conversion process for a single species, MjHSP16.5. Different pressures (labeled from 50 μbar, violet, to 10 μbar, red) of argon are simulated. Lower panel The effect of the mass of the gas (the noble gases from radon, violet, to neon, red) (-using the same ion as above) Inset into these panels are the dependencies for 50% conversion. These simulations show that in order for sufficient conversion of kinetic energy into internal modes to occur, in this length of collision cell, the use of higher pressures and/or heavier target gas is preferable.

  46. Dissociation pathway of a multiprotein complex. (A) CID of the 32+ charge state of the TaHSP16.9 dodecamer (violet) results in the formation of complementary monomers at low m/z and 11mers at high m/z (both blue). At higher accelerating voltages (>100 V), a second distribution of monomers as well as decamers is observed (both cyan). This is indicative of a sequential dissociation reaction (white arrows). (B) Plotting the relative abundance of the different oligomeric species as a function of accelerating voltage (C) How long it takes the protein-complexes to dissociate Experiments were performed on a modified Q-ToF 2.105 The solution of TaHSP16.9 was infused by nESI at a concentration of 1.4 μM in 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.9.14

  47. Applications of collisional activation to the study of protein complexes. Information as to oligomeric composition (green) can be obtained from the identity of dissociation products (purple), as well as from beneficial effects regarding the parent ion (pink). A detailed examination of the reaction pathway can reveal certain parameters (blue) which can allow the determination of interaction strengths (red) and information as to oligomeric organization and size (orange).

  49. Temperature-induced changes in HSP18.1 oligomerization. At the lowest temperatures HSP18.1 exists almost exclusively as a 216 kDa dodecamer, with charge states centered around 6,350 m/z At higher temperatures monomers and dimers are observed at low m/z, and higher-order oligomers at high m/z, demonstrating the temperature-dependent dissociation and augmentation of the dodecamers. B A plot of the relative amount of HSP18.1 subunits existing in different oligomeric states. C Close examination of the abundance of the different species at 46° C shows a clear preference relative to a Gaussian distribution (p < 0.01) for oligomers with an even number of subunits. D Plots of the difference in free energy between a subunit free in solution or incorporated into either a dimer or dodecamer follow linear trends, suggesting that neither undergo significant structural change upon thermal activation. In all graphs the data and error bars represent the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments.
