Does Electron Capture Dissociation Cleave Protein Disulfide Bonds?
Peptide and protein characterization by mass spectrometry (MS) relies on their dissociation in the gas phase into specific fragments whose mass values can be aligned as 'mass ladders' to provide sequence information and to localize possible post-translational modifications. The most common dissociation method involves slow heating of even-electron (M+nH) n+ ions from electrospray ionization by ...
متن کاملEnhancing protein stability with extended disulfide bonds.
Disulfide bonds play an important role in protein folding and stability. However, the cross-linking of sites within proteins by cysteine disulfides has significant distance and dihedral angle constraints. Here we report the genetic encoding of noncanonical amino acids containing long side-chain thiols that are readily incorporated into both bacterial and mammalian proteins in good yields and wi...
متن کاملDisulfide bonds as switches for protein function.
The prevailing view is that disulfide bonds have been added during evolution to enhance the stability of proteins that function in a fluctuating cellular environment. However, recent evidence indicates that disulfide bonds can be more than inert structural motifs. The function of some secreted soluble proteins and cell-surface receptors is controlled by cleavage of one or more of their disulfid...
متن کاملElectron-capture dissociation tandem mass spectrometry.
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) is a new fragmentation technique used in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and is complementary to traditional tandem mass spectrometry techniques. Disulfide bonds, normally stable to vibrational excitation, are preferentially cleaved in ECD. Fragmentation is fast and specific and labile post-translational modifications and non-coval...
متن کاملElectron capture dissociation, electron detachment dissociation and infrared multiphoton dissociation of sucrose octasulfate.
The structural analysis of sulfated carbohydrates such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) has been a long- standing challenge for the field of mass spectrometry. The dissociation of sulfated carbohydrates by collisionally- activated dissociation (CAD) or infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), which activate ions via vibrational excitation, typically result in few cleavages and abundant SO(3) loss...
