Controlling release, unfolding and dissociation of membrane protein complexes in the gas phase through collisional cooling.

چکیده
Mass spectrometry of intact membrane protein complexes requires removal of the detergent micelle by collisional activation. We demonstrate that the necessary energy can be obtained by adjusting the degree of collisional cooling in the ion source. This enables us to extend the energy regime for dissociation of membrane protein complexes.

Negative Ions Enhance Survival of Membrane Protein Complexes
Membrane protein complexes are commonly introduced to the mass spectrometer solubilized in detergent micelles. The collisional activation used to remove the detergent, however, often causes protein unfolding and dissociation. As in the case for soluble proteins, electrospray in the positive ion mode is most commonly used for the study of membrane proteins. Here we show several distinct advantag...
متن کاملImpact of charge state on gas-phase behaviors of noncovalent protein complexes in collision induced dissociation and surface induced dissociation.
Charge states of noncovalent protein complexes in the gas phase are known to affect their propensity for unfolding and dissociation. In this work, C-reactive protein (CRP) pentamer and Concanavalin A (ConA) tetramer at different charge states were subjected to collision induced dissociation (CID) and surface induced dissociation (SID) in a modified quadrupole/ion mobility/time-of-flight mass sp...
متن کاملQuantifying the stabilizing effects of protein–ligand interactions in the gas phase
The effects of protein-ligand interactions on protein stability are typically monitored by a number of established solution-phase assays. Few translate readily to membrane proteins. We have developed an ion-mobility mass spectrometry approach, which discerns ligand binding to both soluble and membrane proteins directly via both changes in mass and ion mobility, and assesses the effects of these...
متن کاملBound cations significantly stabilize the structure of multiprotein complexes in the gas phase.
Mass spectrometry (MS) has revealed the composition, stoichiometry, connectivity, and dynamics of many multiprotein complexes that remain challenging for other structural biology methods. More recently, ion mobility (IM), a gas-phase separation technique that resolves protein ions according to their size and charge, coupled with MS (IMMS) has been used to generate three-dimensional structure in...
متن کاملSurface-Induced Dissociation Mass Spectra as a Tool for Distinguishing Different Structural Forms of Gas-Phase Multimeric Protein Complexes.
One attractive feature of ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) lies in its ability to provide experimental collision cross section (CCS) measurements, which can be used to distinguish different conformations that a protein complex may adopt during its gas-phase unfolding. However, CCS values alone give no detailed information on subunit structure within the complex. Consequently, structural c...
