“Advancing Ion Mobility into Lipidomics, Metabolomics, Exposomics, and Protein Characterization”

Date: Friday, April 5, 2024

Location: 014 University Hall

Abstract
Laboratories conducting Multi-Omics analysis have challenging requirements to better define isomeric and isoberic structures across a broad mass range in a relatively short time scale – increasing throughput and reducing cost per sample. This applies to Lipidomics, Metabolomics and Proteomics as well as Protein characterization. Specifically with Native Protein Structures, it would be helpful to determine if there are multiple proteoforms present in putative proteomics biomarkers and therapeutic biomolecules. Recent advancements in Ion Mobility are making this possible. Multiplexing improves Sensitivity, dynamic range, extends the mass range to lower mass. It also enables added statistical significance enabling High Resolution Demultiplexing which can dramatically increase Drift Resolution of Isomers and Isobars while maintaining fast UHPLC acquisition rates as well as a wide mass range – single injection with both high drift resolution and excellent chromatographic fidelity. In addition, Ion Mobility can be predictive in assisting with identifications of unknowns not found in a data base. For example, leveraging high precision CCS Collisional Cross Sections of a homologous series of Lipids or PFAS subunits, or enabling Machine Learning to better predict which unknown isomer hypothesis has the most likelihood of being accurate. The better the precision in the training set, the more accurate the prediction of the putative unknown isomer – will show PFAS as an example, could apply to many isomeric compound classes. We can now achieve and leverage precision of the CCS (0.4 – 0.2%RSD – great precision in the CCS) enabling better accuracy in the predictions. Another important subject is Protein Characterization. Several techniques and assist in helping to determine if there are multiple protoeforms present – Collision Induced Unfolding, being one – compare profiles of a putative protein marker in disease Vs not diseased, or a therapeutic in a bioreactor as one optimizes changing feedstocks – quickly determine if something changed. Agilent has improved the precision to both the CCS and CIU50 Voltage values of native protein unfolding, enabling more confidence in rapidly determining if the protein structure has changed. In addition, with newer electrodes used in the CIU experiments, we are now able to work with larger native protein structures, as large as GroEL. Realtime Microdroplet flash characterization can also offer interesting tools to better rapidly characterize higher order structures.

Title: “Exhalomics – on-line medical diagnosis via mass spectrometric analysis of exhaled breath”

On-line breath analysis is a powerful approach to obtain insight into the metabolism of a person in real time. With ambient ionization methods, this can be achieved rapidly and completely non-invasively, opening up interesting possibilities to diagnose diseases via exhaled breath, to discern diurnal changes in the metabolism, and to monitor drug use (or drug abuse) by analyzing the chemical composition of exhaled breath.

“Deciphering Proteins with Unknown Functions in Plants using Top-Down and Native Mass Spectrometry Techniques”

Tuesday, August 20, 2019
4:00 pm
BRT 105

Mass spectrometry (MS) has been widely used in proteomics applications for identifying and quantifying proteins in biological samples, particularly in the field of biomedical research. In recent years, many new MS techniques, including top-down MS, and native MS for comprehensive characterization of post-translational modification (PTM), ligand/metal binding, higher-order structures, and protein-protein interactions. At the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a Department of Energy (DOE) user facility located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), we aim to use advanced analytical tools to build up a mechanistic understanding of biological processes that affect the environment, and to harness enzymes that can produce sustainable “green” fuels from biomass. Despite the fast-expanding knowledge of plant and microbial organisms from genomics and transcriptomics research, many of the genes still have unknown functions and remain to be characterized at the protein level. I will highlight a few recent EMSL projects applying top-down and native MS to uncharacterized proteins. The focus will be on histone modifications in epigenetic control of drought stress in sorghum crop; a plant enzyme heterocomplex in vitamin B6 biosynthesis with tunable stoichiometry; and an unknown plant enzyme complex controlling lignin synthesis.

Seminar – June 25th 10:00-11:00am “Uncovering Antimicrobial Peptide Interactions in Lipid Nanodiscs by Native MS”

A special seminar will be presented by Dr. Michael T. Marty (University of Arizona) on
Uncovering Antimicrobial Peptide Interactions in Lipid Nanodiscs by Native MS.

Tuesday, June 25th
10:00-11:00 am
BRT 105

Research in the Marty lab is focused on developing mass spectrometry methods to study the structure and biophysics of membrane proteins. Working at the interface of Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry, they utilize lipoprotein Nanodiscs to solubilize membrane proteins in a lipid bilayer with a defined composition. Dr. Marty is at the forefront of development of new computational approaches and software for analysis of native MS data. This work builds on UniDec software developed to rapidly and robustly deconvolve mass and ion mobility spectra.

The seminar is supported by the Resource for Native MS-Guided Structural Biology.

Seminiar – May 22 1:30-2:30pm “The importance of isotopic fine structures in ultrahigh resolution FT-ICR analyses”

We will have an off-semester seminar presented by Prof. Eugene Nikolaev (Skoltech Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia) on
“The importance of isotopic fine structures in ultrahigh resolution FT-ICR analyses”.

Prof. Nikolaev is a well-known and prominent scientist who has made significant contribution to Fourier-transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry analyses and instrument design. We allocated some extra time for discussion after his seminar.
I hope to see you many of you at Prof. Nikolaev’s seminar.
