Identification of sulfhydryl-containing proteins and further evaluation of the selenium-tagged redox homeostasis-regulating proteins. Redox Biol 2024; 69:102969. [PMID: 38064764 PMCID: PMC10755098 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Chemoproteomic profiling of sulfhydryl-containing proteins has consistently been an attractive research hotspot. However, there remains a dearth of probes that are specifically designed for sulfhydryl-containing proteins, possessing sufficient reactivity, specificity, distinctive isotopic signature, as well as efficient labeling and evaluation capabilities for proteins implicated in the regulation of redox homeostasis. Here, the specific selenium-containing probes (Se-probes) in this work displayed high specificity and reactivity toward cysteine thiols on small molecules, peptides and purified proteins and showed very good competitive effect of proteins labeling in gel-ABPP. We identified more than 6000 candidate proteins. In TOP-ABPP, we investigated the peptide labeled by Se-probes, which revealed a distinct isotopic envelope pattern of selenium in both the primary and secondary mass spectra. This unique pattern can provide compelling evidence for identifying redox regulatory proteins and other target peptides. Furthermore, our examiation of post-translational modification (PTMs) of the cysteine site residues showed that oxidation PTMs was predominantly observed. We anticipate that Se-probes will enable broader and deeper proteome-wide profiling of sulfhydryl-containing proteins, provide an ideal tool for focusing on proteins that regulate redox homeostasis and advance the development of innovative selenium-based pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The study of protein oxidation remains a challenge despite the biomedical interest in reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress. This is particularly true for carbonylations although, recently, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques (LC-MS) have been proposed to detect this non-enzymatic and poorly distributed oxidative modification of proteins using untargeted or carbonyl-reactive probe methods. These methods proved to be feasible but could not preserve the dynamic range of the protein sample, making it impossible to quantify oxidatively modified proteoforms compared with native proteoforms. Here, we propose an innovative method based on the implementation of a reactive carbonyl probe conjugated with a laser-sensitive chromophore, dabcyl-aminooxy, which confers optical specificity to the LC-MS approach. In addition, our protein carbonyl detection method allows us to localize individual carbonylation sites by observing fragments of derivatized oxidized peptides. Two model proteins, alpha-synuclein and beta-lactoglobulin, were oxidized and carbonylation sites were detected, resulting in the identification of respectively 34 and 77 different carbonylated amino acids. Thus, we demonstrated the application of a direct and sensitive method for studying protein carbonylation sites in complex protein extracts.

Evaluating the Performance of 193 nm Ultraviolet Photodissociation for Tandem Mass Tag Labeled Peptides. ANALYTICA 2021.

Abstract
Despite the successful application of tandem mass tags (TMT) for peptide quantitation, missing reporter ions in higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) spectra remains a challenge for consistent quantitation, especially for peptides with labile post-translational modifications. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) is an alternative ion activation method shown to provide superior coverage for sequencing of peptides and intact proteins. Here, we optimized and evaluated 193 nm UVPD for the characterization of TMT-labeled model peptides, HeLa proteome, and N-glycopeptides from model proteins. UVPD yielded the same TMT reporter ions as HCD, at m/z 126–131. Additionally, UVPD produced a wide range of fragments that yielded more complete characterization of glycopeptides and less frequent missing TMT reporter ion channels, whereas HCD yielded a strong tradeoff between characterization and quantitation of TMT-labeled glycopeptides. However, the lower fragmentation efficiency of UVPD yielded fewer peptide identifications than HCD. Overall, 193 nm UVPD is a valuable tool that provides an alternative to HCD for the quantitation of large and highly modified peptides with labile PTMs. Continued development of instrumentation specific to UVPD will yield greater fragmentation efficiency and fulfil the potential of UVPD to be an all-in-one spectrum ion activation method for broad use in the field of proteomics.

Abstract
Phenyl-1,2-benzoselenazol-3(2H)-one (ebselen) is a classical mimic of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Thioredoxin interaction endows ebselen attractive biological functions, such as antioxidation and anti-infection, as well as versatile therapeutic usage. Accordingly, application of ebselen analogues in biosensing, chemical labeling, imaging analysis, disease pathology, drug development, clinical treatment, etc. have been widely developed, in which mercaptans, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, peptides, and proteins were involved. Herein, focusing on the application of ebselen-agents in biochemistry, we have made a systematic summary and comprehensive review. First, we summarized both the classical and the innovative methods for preparing ebselen-agents to present the synthetic strategies. Then we discussed the full functional applicability of ebselen analogues in three fields of biochemical analysis including the fluorescence sensing and bioimaging, derivatization for high throughput fluorescence analysis, and the labeling gents for proteomics. Finally, we discussed the current challenges and perspectives for ebselen-agents as analytical tools in biological research. By presenting the multifunctional applicability of ebselen, we hope this review could appeal researchers to design the ebselen-related biomaterials for biochemical analysis.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is prone to diverse post-translational modifications in proteins, including oxidation into sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) by reactive oxygen species generated under oxidative stress. Detection of low-concentration and metastable Cys-SOH within complex biological matrices is challenging due to the dynamic concentration range of proteins in the samples. Herein, visible laser-induced dissociation (LID) implemented in a mass spectrometer was used for streamlining the detection of Cys oxidized proteins owing to proper derivatization of Cys-SOH with a chromophore tag functionalized with a cyclohexanedione group. Once grafted, peptides undergo a high fragmentation yield under LID, leading concomitantly to informative backbone ions and to a chromophore reporter ion. Seventy-nine percent of the Cys-containing tryptic peptides derived from human serum albumin and serotransferrin tracked by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) were detected as targets subjected to oxidation. These candidates as well as Cys-containing peptides predicted by in silico trypsin digestion of five other human plasma proteins were then tracked in real plasma samples to pinpoint the endogenous Cys-SOH subpopulation. Most of the targeted peptides were detected in all plasma samples by LID-PRM, with significant differences in their relative amounts. By eliminating the signal of interfering co-eluted compounds, LID-PRM surpasses conventional HCD (higher-energy collisional dissociation)-PRM in detecting grafted Cys-SOH-containing peptides and allows now to foresee clinical applications in large human cohorts.

Abstract
The development of new ion-activation/dissociation methods continues to be one of the most active areas of mass spectrometry owing to the broad applications of tandem mass spectrometry in the identification and structural characterization of molecules. This Review will showcase the impact of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) as a frontier strategy for generating informative fragmentation patterns of ions, especially for biological molecules whose complicated structures, subtle modifications, and large sizes often impede molecular characterization. UVPD energizes ions via absorption of high-energy photons, which allows access to new dissociation pathways relative to more conventional ion-activation methods. Applications of UVPD for the analysis of peptides, proteins, lipids, and other classes of biologically relevant molecules are emphasized in this Review.

Abstract
The nonapeptide oxytocin (OT) is used as a model sulfur-containing peptide to study the damage induced by vacuum UV (VUV) radiations. In particular, the effect of the presence (or absence in reduced OT) of oxytocin's internal disulfide bridge is evaluated in terms of photo-fragmentation yield and nature of the photo-fragments. Intact, as well as reduced, OT is studied as dianions and radical anions. Radical anions are prepared and photo-fragmented in two-color experiments (UV + VUV) in a linear ion trap. VUV photo-fragmentation patterns are analyzed and compared, and radical-induced mechanisms are proposed. The effect of VUV is principally to ionize but secondary fragmentation is also observed. This secondary fragmentation seems to be considerably enabled by the initial position of the radical on the molecule. In particular, the possibility to form a radical on free cysteines seems to increase the susceptibility to VUV fragmentation. Interestingly, disulfide bridges, which are fundamental for protein structure, could also be responsible for an increased resistance to ionizing radiations. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Thanks to comprehensive and unbiased sampling of all precursor ions, the interest to move toward bottom-up proteomic with data-independent acquisition (DIA) is continuously growing. DIA offers precision and reproducibility performances comparable to true targeted methods but has the advantage of enabling retrospective data testing with the hypothetical presence of new proteins of interest. Nonetheless, the chimeric nature of DIA MS/MS spectra inherent to concomitant transmission of a multiplicity of precursor ions makes the confident identification of peptides often challenging, even with spectral library-based extraction strategy. The introduction of specificity at the fragmentation step upon ultraviolet or visible laser-induced dissociation (LID) range targeting only the subset of cysteine-containing peptides (Cys-peptide) has been proposed as an option to streamline and reduce the search space. Here, we describe the first coupling between DIA and visible LID at 473 nm to test for the presence of Cys-peptides with a peptide-centric approach. As a test run, a spectral library was built for a pool of Cys-synthetic peptides used as surrogates of human kinases (1 peptide per protein). By extracting ion chromatograms of query standard and kinase peptides spiked at different concentration levels in an Escherichia coli proteome lysate, DIA-LID demonstrates a dynamic range of detection of at least 3 decades and coefficients of precision better than 20%. Finally, the spectral library was used to search for endogenous kinases in human cellular extract.

Abstract
N-terminal derivatization of peptides with the chromogenic reagent 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (SITS) is demonstrated to enhance the efficiency of 266 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD). Attachment of the chromophore results in a mass shift of 454 Da and provides significant gains in the number and abundances of diagnostic fragment ions upon UVPD. Activation of SITS-tagged peptides with 266 nm UVPD leads to many fragment ions akin to the a/b/y ions commonly produced by CID, along with other sequence ions (c, x, and z) typically accessed through higher energy pathways. Extreme bias towards C-terminal fragment ions is observed upon activation of SITS-tagged peptides using multiple 266 nm laser pulses. Due to the high reaction efficiency of the isothiocyanate coupling to the N-terminus of peptides, we demonstrate the ability to adapt this strategy to a high-throughput LC-MS/MS workflow with 266 nm UVPD.

Abstract
Confident protein identifications derived from high-throughput bottom-up and top-down proteomics workflows depend on acquisition of thousands of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra with adequate signal-to-noise and accurate mass assignments of the fragment ions. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) using 193 nm photons has proven to be well-suited for activation and fragmentation of peptides and proteins in ion trap mass spectrometers, but the spectral signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is typically lower than that obtained from collisional activation methods. The lower S/N is attributed to the dispersion of ion current among numerous fragment ion channels (a,b,c,x,y,z ions). In addition, frequently UVPD is performed such that a relatively large population of precursor ions remains undissociated after the UV photoactivation period in order to prevent overdissociation into small uninformative or internal fragment ions. Here we report a method to improve spectral S/N and increase the accuracy of mass assignments of UVPD mass spectra via resonance ejection of undissociated precursor ions after photoactivation. This strategy, termed precursor ejection UVPD or PE-UVPD, allows the ion trap to be filled with more ions prior to UVPD while at the same time alleviating the space charge problems that would otherwise contribute to the skewing of mass assignments and reduction of S/N. Here we report the performance gains by implementation of PE-UVPD for peptide analysis in an ion trap mass spectrometer.
