Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been recognized as a useful tool for top-down proteomics. However, its performance deep proteomics is still dramatically lower than widely used reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS/MS. We present an orthogonal multidimensional separation platform that couples size exclusion (SEC) and RPLC based protein prefractionation to CZE-MS/MS of Escherichia coli. The generated high peak capacity (∼4000) intact proteins,...
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 liquid-phase separation prior mass spectrometry (MS) MS/MS. In this work, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC)-capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS/MS was developed discovery mode, resulting the identification 144 proteins, 672 proteoforms, 23 from Escherichia coli...
Better peptide separation is required for bottom-up proteomics further improving the proteome coverage. The two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) systems only explore differences among peptides in their hydrophobicity (reversed-phase, RP) and charge (strong cation/anion exchange, SCX/SAX). Alternative techniques with different mechanisms are to improve separation. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) an attractive alternative because it has high efficiency of biomolecules separates...
Native capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) has attracted attentions for the characterization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) due to potential CZE highly efficient separations mAbs under native conditions as well its compatibility with electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS. However, low sample loading capacity and limited separation resolution large proteins protein complexes (e.g. mAbs) impede widespread adoption CZE-MS. Here, we present a novel isoelectric focusing...
Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has been well recognized for bottom–up proteomics. It approached 4000–8000 protein identifications (IDs) from a human cell line, mouse brains, or Xenopus embryos via coupling with liquid chromatography (LC) prefractionation. However, at least 500 μg of complex proteome digests were required the LC/CZE-MS/MS studies. This requirement large amount initial peptide material impedes application CZE-MS/MS deep proteomics...
Top-down proteomics (TDP) aims to delineate proteomes in a proteoform-specific manner, which is vital for accurately understanding protein function cellular processes. It requires high-capacity separation of proteoforms before mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS (MS/MS). Capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF)-MS has been recognized as useful tool TDP the 1990s because cIEF capable high-resolution proteoforms. Previous cIEF-MS studies concentrated on measuring protein's without MS/MS,...
Phosphoproteomics requires better separation of phosphopeptides to boost the coverage phosphoproteome. We argue that an alternative method produces orthogonal phosphopeptide widely used LC needs be considered. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is one important because CZE and are for migration time peptides in can accurately predicted. In this work, we coupled strong cation exchange (SCX)-reversed-phase (RPLC) CZE-MS/MS large-scale phosphoproteomics colon carcinoma HCT116 cell line. The...
Large-scale top-down proteomics characterizes proteoforms in cells globally with high confidence and throughput using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-MS/MS. The false discovery rate (FDR) from the target-decoy database search is typically deployed to filter identified ensure high-confidence identifications (IDs). It has been demonstrated that FDRs can be drastically underestimated. An alternative approach...
A universal and standardized sample preparation method becomes vital for denaturing top-down proteomics (dTDP) to advance the scale accuracy of proteoform delineation in complex biological systems. It needs have high protein recovery, minimum bias, good reproducibility, compatibility with downstream mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Here, we employed a lysis buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulfate extracting proteoforms from cells and, first time, compared membrane ultrafiltration (MU),...
Top-down proteomics (TDP) is an ideal approach for deciphering the histone code and it routinely employs reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Because of extreme complexity histones regarding number proteoforms, new analytical tools with high-capacity separation highly sensitive detection proteoforms are required TDP histones.
