Biological processes are the result of noncovalent, protein-ligand interactions, where the ligands range from small organic and inorganic molecules to lipids, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins. Amide groups within proteins constantly exchange protons with water. When immersed in heavy water (D2O), mass spectrometry (MS) can measure the change of mass associated with the hydrogen to deuterium exchange (HDX). Protein-ligand interactions modify the hydrogen exchange rates of amide protons, and the measurement of the amide exchange rates can provide rich information regarding the dynamical structure of the protein-ligand complex. This chapter describes a protocol for conducting bottom-up, continuous uptake, proteolytic fragmentation HDX-MS experiments that can help identify and map the interacting peptides of a protein-ligand interface. This tutorial outlines the fundamental theory governing hydrogen exchange; provides practical information regarding the preparation of protein samples and solutions; and describes the exchange reaction, reaction quenching, enzymatic digestion, chromatographic separation, and peptide analysis by MS. Tables list representative combinations of fluidic components used by HDX-MS researchers and summarize the available HDX-MS analysis software packages. Additionally, two HDX-MS case studies are used to illustrate protein-ligand interactions involving: (1) a continuous sequence of interacting residues and (2) a set of discontinuously numbered residues, residing spatially near each other.
生物过程是非共价蛋白质 - 配体相互作用的结果,其中配体范围从小有机和无机分子到脂质、核酸、肽和蛋白质。蛋白质中的酰胺基团不断与水交换质子。当浸入重水(D2O)中时,质谱(MS)可以测量与氢到氘交换(HDX)相关的质量变化。蛋白质 - 配体相互作用会改变酰胺质子的氢交换速率,酰胺交换速率的测量可以提供有关蛋白质 - 配体复合物动态结构的丰富信息。本章描述了一种进行自下而上、连续摄取、蛋白酶解片段HDX-MS实验的方案,该实验有助于识别和绘制蛋白质 - 配体界面的相互作用肽段。本教程概述了氢交换的基本理论;提供了有关蛋白质样品和溶液制备的实用信息;并描述了交换反应、反应淬灭、酶解、色谱分离以及通过MS进行的肽分析。表格列出了HDX-MS研究人员使用的流体组件的代表性组合,并总结了可用的HDX-MS分析软件包。此外,还使用了两个HDX-MS案例研究来说明蛋白质 - 配体相互作用,涉及:(1)连续的相互作用残基序列和(2)一组不连续编号但在空间上彼此靠近的残基。
