AbstractGranulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a cytokine and a white blood cell growth factor that has found usage as a therapeutic protein. During analysis of different fermentation batches of GM-CSF recombinantly expressed in E. coli, a covalent modification was identified on the protein by intact mass spectrometry. The modification gave a mass shift of + 70 Da and peptide mapping analysis demonstrated that it located to the protein N-terminus and lysine side chains. The chemical composition of C4H6O was found to be the best candidate by peptide fragmentation using tandem mass spectrometry. The modification likely contains a carbonyl group, since the mass of the modification increased by 2 Da by reduction with borane pyridine complex and it reacted with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. On the basis of chemical and tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation behavior, the modification could be attributed to crotonaldehyde, a reactive compound formed during lipid peroxidation. A low recorded oxygen pressure in the reactor during protein expression could be linked to the formation of this compound. This study shows the importance of maintaining full control over all reaction parameters during recombinant protein production.

Protein identification (sequencing) by tandem mass spectrometry is a fundamental technique for proteomics which studies structures and functions of proteins in large scale and acts as a complement to genomics. Analysis and interpretation of vast amounts of spectral data generated in proteomics experiments present unprecedented challenges and opportunities for data mining in areas such as data preprocessing, peptide-spectrum matching, results validation, peptide fragmentation pattern discovery and modeling, and post-translational modification (PTM) analysis. This article introduces the basic concepts and terms of protein identification and briefly reviews the state-of-the-art relevant data mining applications. It also outlines challenges and future potential hot spots in this field.

In protein identification by tandem mass spectrometry, it is critical to accurately predict the theoretical spectrum for a peptide sequence. To date, the widely-used database searching methods adopted simple statistical models for predicting. For some peptide, these models usually yield a theoretical spectrum with a significant deviation from the experimental one. In this paper, in order to derive an improved predicting model, we utilized a non-linear programming model to quantify the factors impacting peptide fragmentation. Then, an iterative algorithm was proposed to solve this optimization problem. Upon a training set of 1803 spectra, the experimental result showed a good agreement with some known principles about peptide fragmentation, such as the tendency to cleave at the middle of peptide, and Pro's preference of the N-terminal cleavage. Moreover, upon a testing set of 941 spectra, comparison of the predicted spectra against the experimental ones showed that this method can generate reasonable predictions. The results in this paper can offer help to both database searching and de novo methods.

<p>The recently described O-glycoprotease OpeRATOR presents exciting opportunities for O-glycoproteomics. This bacterial enzyme purified from <i>Akkermansia (Sp). muciniphila</i> cleaves N-terminally to serine and threonine residues that are modified with (preferably asialylated) O-glycans. This <a>provides orthogonal cleavage relative to canonical proteases (e.g., trypsin) for improved O-glycopeptide characterization with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). O-glycopeptides with a modified N-terminal residue, such as those generated by OpeRATOR, present several potential benefits, perhaps the most notable being <i>de facto</i> O-glycosite localization without the need of glycan-retaining fragments in MS/MS spectra. Indeed, O-glycopeptides modified exclusively at the N-terminus would enable O-glycoproteomic methods to rely solely on collision-based fragmentation rather than electron-driven dissociation because glycan-retaining peptide fragments would not be required for localization. The caveat is that modified peptides would need to reliably contain only a single O-glycosite. </a>Here we use methods that combine collision- and electron-based fragmentation to characterize the number of <i>O-</i>glycosites that are present in <i>O-</i>glycopeptides derived from OpeRATOR digestion of four known <i>O-</i>glycoproteins. Our data show that over 50% of <i>O-</i>glycopeptides generated from combined digestion using OpeRATOR and trypsin contain multiple <i>O-</i>glycosites, indicating that collision-based fragmentation alone is not sufficient. Electron-based dissociation methods are necessary to capture the <i>O-</i>glycopeptide diversity present in OpeRATOR digestions. </p>

The development of peptide-based imaging agents through screening of large peptide libraries is hindered by the additional requirement of a radionuclide−chelator complex that can negatively affect the binding properties of the peptide. Herein, we report N-terminal rhenium(I)tricarbonyl OBOC (one-bead, one-compound) peptide libraries for use in the direct screening of potential imaging agents. The rhenium(I) tricarbonyl is incorporated directly in the library as an imaging entity surrogate to account for the presence of a technetium-99m radionuclide chelate. The identification of unknown organometallic peptides on single beads is successfully accomplished through MALDI tandem mass spectrometry, preceded by a systematic investigation of the effects of a variety of N-terminal rhenium(I) tricarbonyl chelates on peptide fragmentation patterns.
