Abstract

Native proteomics aims to characterize complex proteomes under native conditions and ultimately produces a full picture of endogenous protein complexes in cells. It requires novel analytical platforms for high-resolution and liquid-phase separation of protein complexes prior to native mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS. In this work, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC)-capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS/MS was developed for native proteomics in discovery mode, resulting in the identification of 144 proteins, 672 proteoforms, and 23 protein complexes from the Escherichia coli proteome. The protein complexes include four protein homodimers, 16 protein-metal complexes, two protein-[2Fe-2S] complexes, and one protein-glutamine complex. Half of them have not been reported in the literature. This work represents the first example of online liquid-phase separation-MS/MS for the characterization of a complex proteome under the native condition, offering the proteomics community an efficient and simple platform for native proteomics.

  • Native SEC and CZE coupled identified 672 proteoforms, 144 proteins, and 23 protein complexes.

    “For example, native SEC and CZE were coupled to identify 672 proteoforms, 144 proteins, and 23 protein complexes [88].”
  • Shen and co-workers successfully used an aqueous 25 mM ammonium acetate sheath-liquid for analysis of protein complexes from Escherichia coli.

    “Shen and co-workers successfully applied an aqueous solution of 25mM ammonium acetate as a sheath-liquid for the analysis of protein complexes from Escherichia coli21.”
  • Because CE separations can be performed in aqueous buffers, protein complexes can be separated in native structures, preserving non-covalent interactions before MS detection.

    “Since CE separations can be performed in aqueous buffers, protein complexes can be separated in their native structures, preserving non-covalent interactions within a protein and between subunits of protein assemblies, prior to MS detection19–21.”
  • Shen and co-workers demonstrated SEC-CZE for analysis of protein complexes and proteoforms under near native conditions, identifying 144 proteins, 672 proteoforms, and 23 protein complexes from the Escherichia coli proteome.

    “More recently, Shen and co-workers demonstrated the use of SEC-CZE for analysis of protein complexes and proteoforms under near native conditions21, resulting in the identification of 144 proteins, 672 proteoforms, and 23 protein complexes from the Escherichia coli proteome.”
  • High-throughput native separation techniques including GELFrEE, HIC, SEC, CZE, and IEX have efficiently aided in the analysis of heterogeneous protein mixtures.

    “Recently, high-throughput native separation techniques including GELFrEE,36 HIC,39,40 SEC,112 capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE),112 and IEX38 have efficiently aided in the analysis of heterogeneous protein mixtures.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
