  1. Improving Genome Annotation using Proteomics Nathan Edwards Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology University of Maryland, College Park

  2. Mass Spectrometry for Proteomics • Measure mass of many (bio)molecules simultaneously • High bandwidth • Mass is an intrinsic property of all (bio)molecules • No prior knowledge required

  3. Sample + _ Detector Ionizer Mass Analyzer Mass Spectrometer ElectronMultiplier(EM) Time-Of-Flight (TOF) Quadrapole Ion-Trap MALDI Electro-SprayIonization (ESI)

  4. 100 % Intensity 0 m/z 250 500 750 1000 High Bandwidth

  5. Mass is fundamental!

  6. Mass Spectrometry for Proteomics • Measure mass of many molecules simultaneously • ...but not too many, abundance bias • Mass is an intrinsic property of all (bio)molecules • ...but need a reference to compare to

  7. Mass Spectrometry for Proteomics • Mass spectrometry has been around since the turn of the century... • ...why is MS based Proteomics so new? • Ionization methods • MALDI, Electrospray • Protein chemistry & automation • Chromatography, Gels, Computers • Protein / genome sequences • A reference for comparison

  8. Enzymatic Digest and Fractionation Sample Preparation for Peptide Identification

  9. Single Stage MS MS m/z

  10. Tandem Mass Spectrometry(MS/MS) m/z Precursor selection m/z

  11. Tandem Mass Spectrometry(MS/MS) Precursor selection + collision induced dissociation (CID) m/z MS/MS m/z

  12. Peptide Identification • For each (likely) peptide sequence 1. Compute fragment masses 2. Compare with spectrum 3. Retain those that match well • Peptide sequences from (any) sequence database • Swiss-Prot, IPI, NCBI’s nr, ESTs, genomes, ... • Automated, high-throughput peptide identification in complex mixtures

  13. Peptide Identification ...can provide direct experimental evidence for the amino-acid sequence of functional proteins. Evidence for: • Functional protein isoforms • Translation start and frame • Proteins with short open-reading-frames

  14. How could this help? • Evidence for SNPs and alternative splicing stops with transcription • No genomic or transcript evidence for translation start-site. • Conservation doesn’t stop at coding bases! • Statistical gene-finders struggle with micro-exons, translation start-site, and short ORFs.

  15. What can be observed? • Known coding SNPs • Novel coding mutations • Alternative splicing isoforms • Microexons ( non-cannonical splice-sites ) • Alternative translation start-sites ( codons ) • Alternative translation frames • “Dark” open-reading-frames

  16. Splice Isoform • Human Jurkat leukemia cell-line • Lipid-raft extraction protocol, targeting T cells • von Haller, et al. MCP 2003. • LIME1 gene: • LCK interacting transmembrane adaptor 1 • LCK gene: • Leukocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase • Proto-oncogene • Chromosomal aberration involving LCK in leukemias. • Multiple significant peptide identifications

  18. Novel Splice Isoform

  19. Translation Start-Site • Human erythroleukemia K562 cell-line • Depth of coverage study • Resing et al. Anal. Chem. 2004. • THOC2 gene: • Part of the heteromultimeric THO/TREX complex. • Initially believed to be a “novel” ORF • RefSeq mRNA in Jun 2007, no RefSeq protein • TrEMBL entry Feb 2005, no SwissProt entry • Genbank mRNA in May 2002 (complete CDS) • Plenty of EST support • ~ 100,000 bases upstream of other isoforms

  24. Easily distinguish minor sequence variations Two B. anthracis Sterne α/β SASP annotations • RefSeq/Gb: MVMARN... (7441 Da) • CMR: MARN... (7211 Da) • Intact proteins differ by 230 Da • 7441 Da vs 7211 Da • N-terminal tryptic peptides: • MVMAR (606.3 Da), MVMARNR (876.4 Da), vs • MARNR (646.3 Da) • Very different MS/MS spectra

  28. Glimmer3 trained & compared to RefSeq genes with annotated function Correct STOP: 99.6% Correct START: 84.3% “Not all the genomes necessarily have carefully/accurately annotated start sites, so the results for number of correct starts may be suspect.” Glimmer3 Performance

  29. N-terminal peptides • (Protein) N-terminal peptides establish • start-site of known & unexpected ORFs Use: • Directly to annotate genomes • Evaluate and improve algorithms • Map cross-species

  30. N-terminal peptide workflows • Typical proteomics workflows sample peptides from the proteome “randomly” • Caulobacter crescentus (70%) • 3733 Proteins (RefSeq Genome annot.) • 66K tryptic peptides (600 Da to 3000 Da) • 2085 N-terminal tryptic peptides (3%)

  31. Protect protein N-terminus Digest to peptides Chemically modify free peptide N-term Use chem. mod. to capture unwanted peptides N-terminal peptide workflow Nat Biotech, Vol. 21, pp. 566-569, 2003.

  32. Multiple (digest) enzymes: trypsin-R: 60% (80%) acid + lys-C + trypsin:85% (94%) Repeated LC-MS/MS Precursor Exclusion / Inclusion lists MALDI / ESI Protein separation and/or orthogonal fractionation Increasing N-terminal peptide coverage Anal Chem, Vol. 76, pp. 4193-4201, 2004.

  33. Proteomics Informatics • Search spectra against: • Entire bacterial genome; • All Met initiated peptides; or • Statistically likely Met initiated peptides. • Easily consider initial Met loss PTM, too • Off-the-shelf MS/MS search engines (Mascot / X!Tandem / OMSSA)

  34. Other Practical Issues • Suitable for commonly available instrumentation • Only the sample prep. is (somewhat) novel. • Need living organism • Stage of life-cycle? • Bang for buck? • N-terminal peptides / $$$$

  35. Other Research Projects • Alternative splicing and coding SNPs in clinical cancer samples • MS/MS spectral matching using HMMs • Combining MS/MS search engine results using machine learning • Microorganism identification using MS (www.RMIDb.org) • Gapped/spaced seeds for inexact sequence alignment. • Applications of SBH-graphs and Eulerian paths

  36. Hidden Markov Models for Spectral Matching • Capture statistical variation and consensus in peak intensity • Capture semantics of peaks • Extrapolate model to other peptides • Good specificity with superior sensitivity for peptide detection • Assign 1000’s of additional spectra (w/ p-value < 10-5)
