  • Appendix the Meaning and Usage of the Terms Monoisotopic Mass
    MASS SPECTROMETRY IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE Appendix The Meaning and Usage of the Terms Monoisotopic Mass, Average Mass, Mass Resolution, and Mass Accuracy for Measurements of Biomolecules s. A. Carr, A. L. Burlingame and M. A. Baldwin Much confusion surrounds the meaning of the terms monoisotopic mass, average mass, resolution and mass accuracy in mass spectrometry, and how they interrelate. The following brief primer is intended to clarify these terms and to illustrate the effect they have on the data obtained and its interpretation. We have highlighted the effects of these parameters on measurements of masses spanning the range of 1000 to 25,000 Da because of important differences that are observed. We refer the interested reader to a number ofexcellent articles that have dealt with aspects ofthese issues [1-6]. MONOISOTOPIC MASS VERSUS AVERAGE MASS Most elements have a variety of naturally occurring isotopes, each with a unique mass and natural abundance. The monoisotopic mass of an element refers specifically to the lightest stable isotope of that element. For example, there are two principle isotopes of carbon, l2C and l3C, with masses of 12.000000 and 13.003355 and natural abundances of98.9 and 1.1%, respectively; thus the value defined for the monoisotopic mass of carbon is 12.00000 on this mass scale. Similarly, there are two naturally occurring isotopes for nitrogen, l4N, with a mass of 14.003074 (monoisotopic mass) and a relative abundance of99.6% and l5N, with a mass of 15.000109 and a relative abundance of ca. 0.4%. The monoisotopic mass of a molecule is thus obtained by summing the monoisotopic masses (including the decimal component, referred to as the mass defect) of each element present.

Hendrickson, and Alan G. Marshall Center for Interdisciplinary Magnetic Resonance, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, USA Unambiguous determination of metal atom oxidation state in an intact metalloprotein is achieved by matching experimental (electrospray ionization 9.4 tesla Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance) and theoretical isotopic abundance mass distributions for one or more holoprotein charge states. The iron atom oxidation state is determined unequivocally as Fe(III) for each of four gas-phase unhydrated heme proteins electrosprayed from H2O: myoglobin, cytochrome c, cytochrome b5, and cytochrome b5 L47R (i.e., the solution-phase oxidation state is conserved following electrospray to produce gas-phase ions). However, the same Fe(III) oxidation state in all four heme proteins is observed after prior reduction by sodium dithionite to produce Fe(II) heme proteins in solution: thus proving that oxygen was present during the electrospray process. Those results bear directly on the issue of similarity (or lack thereof) of solution-phase and gas-phase protein conformations. Finally, infrared multiphoton irradiation of the gas-phase Fe(III)holoproteins releases Fe(III)heme from each of

  • Determination of Monoisotopic Masses and Ion Populations for Large Biomolecules from Resolved Isotopic Distributions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Determination of Monoisotopic Masses and Ion Populations for Large Biomolecules from Resolved Isotopic Distributions Michael W. Senko,* Steven C. Beu,? and Fred W. McLafferty Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA The coupling of electrospray ionization with Fourier-transform mass spectrometry allows the analysis of large biomolecules with mass-measuring errors of less than 1 ppm. The large number of atoms incorporated in these molecules results in a low probability for the all-monoisotopic species. This produces the potential to misassign the number of heavy isotopes in a specific peak and make a mass error of f 1 Da, although the certainty of the measurement beyond the decimal place is greater than 0.1 Da. Statistical tests are used to compare the measured isotopic distribution with the distribution for a model molecule of the same average molecular mass, which allows the assignment of the monoisotopic mass, even in cases where the monoisotopic peak is absent from the spectrum. The statistical test produces error levels that are inversely proportional to the number of molecules in a distribution, which allows an estimation of the number of ions in the trapped ion cell. It has been determined, via this method that 128 charges are required to produce a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1, which correlates well with previous experimental methods. (1 Am Sot Moss Spectrom 1995, 6, 229-233) ecent advances in ionization techniques like variability is no longer a limitation because only electrospray ionization (ES11 [l-4] and matrix- the abundances, and not the positions of the isotopic n ssisted laser desorption-ionization (MALDI) peaks, will change.

  • Site-Specific Characterization of Endogenous Sumoylation Across
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04957-4 OPEN Site-specific characterization of endogenous SUMOylation across species and organs Ivo A. Hendriks 1, David Lyon 2, Dan Su3, Niels H. Skotte1, Jeremy A. Daniel3, Lars J. Jensen2 & Michael L. Nielsen 1 Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) are post-translational modifications that play crucial roles in most cellular processes. While methods exist to study exogenous SUMOylation, 1234567890():,; large-scale characterization of endogenous SUMO2/3 has remained technically daunting. Here, we describe a proteomics approach facilitating system-wide and in vivo identification of lysines modified by endogenous and native SUMO2. Using a peptide-level immunoprecipi- tation enrichment strategy, we identify 14,869 endogenous SUMO2/3 sites in human cells during heat stress and proteasomal inhibition, and quantitatively map 1963 SUMO sites across eight mouse tissues. Characterization of the SUMO equilibrium highlights striking differences in SUMO metabolism between cultured cancer cells and normal tissues. Tar- geting preferences of SUMO2/3 vary across different organ types, coinciding with markedly differential SUMOylation states of all enzymes involved in the SUMO conjugation cascade. Collectively, our systemic investigation details the SUMOylation architecture across species and organs and provides a resource of endogenous SUMOylation sites on factors important in organ-specific functions. 1 Proteomics Program, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3B, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark. 2 Disease Systems Biology Program, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3B, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark. 3 Protein Signaling Program, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3B, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Repeta Thesis Supervisor Accepted by: ______________________________________________________________________________ Elizabeth B. Kujawinski Chair, Joint Committee for Chemical Oceanography Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 2 Abstract: Marine microbes produce a wide variety of metal binding organic ligands that regulate the solubility and availability of biologically important metals such as iron, copper, cobalt, and zinc. In marine environments where the availability of iron limits microbial growth and carbon fixation rates, the ability to access organically bound iron confers a competitive advantage. Thus, the compounds that microbes produced to acquire iron play an important role in biogeochemical carbon and metal cycling. However, the source, abundance, and identity of these compounds are poorly understood. To investigate these processes, sensitive methodologies were developed to gain a compound-specific window into marine iron speciation by combining trace metal clean sample collection and chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC- ICPMS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESIMS).

Abstract: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs), particularly carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), have been largely proposed as factors involved in the establishment and progression of heart failure (HF). Despite this evidence, the current literature lacks the comprehensive identification and characterization of the plasma AGEs/ALEs involved in HF (untargeted approach). This work provides the first ex vivo high-resolution mass spectrometry Citation: Altomare, A.; Baron, G.; (HR-MS) profiling of AGEs/ALEs occurring in human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant Balbinot, M.; Pedretti, A.; Zoanni, B.; protein in plasma, characterized by several nucleophilic sites and thus representing the main protein Brioschi, M.; Agostoni, P.; Carini, M.; substrate for AGE/ALE formation.
