Abstract

The analysis of intact proteins (top-down strategy) by mass spectrometry has great potential to elucidate proteoform variation, including patterns of post-translational modifications (PTMs), which may not be discernible by analysis of peptides alone (bottom-up approach). To maximize sequence coverage and localization of PTMs, various fragmentation modes have been developed to produce fragment ions from deep within intact proteins. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) has recently been shown to produce high sequence coverage and PTM retention on a variety of proteins, with increasing evidence of efficacy on a chromatographic time scale. However, utilization of UVPD for high-throughput top-down analysis to date has been limited by bioinformatics. Here we detected 153 proteins and 489 proteoforms using UVPD and 271 proteins and 982 proteoforms using higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) in a comparative analysis of HeLa whole-cell lysate by qualitative top-down proteomics. Of the total detected proteoforms, 286 overlapped between the UVPD and HCD data sets, with 68% of proteoforms having C scores greater than 40 for UVPD and 63% for HCD. The average sequence coverage (28 ± 20% for UVPD versus 17 ± 8% for HCD, p < 0.0001) was found to be higher for UVPD than HCD and with a trend toward improvement in q value for the UVPD data set. This study demonstrates the complementarity of UVPD and HCD for more extensive protein profiling and proteoform characterization.

  • UVPD's diversity of bond breakages makes it ideal for deep sequence coverage, but higher numbers of protein identifications are still obtained using HCD for global top-down analysis by LC-MS.

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.
