The Fanconi anemia pathway is an important coordinator of DNA repair pathways and is particularly relevant to repair of DNA inter-strand crosslinks. Central to the pathway is monoubiquitination of FANCD2, requiring the function of multiple proteins in an upstream Fanconi core complex. We present development and analytical characterization of a novel assay for quantification of unmodified and monoubiquitinated FANCD2 proteoforms, based on peptide immunoaffinity enrichment and targeted multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (immuno-MRM). The immuno-MRM assay is analytically characterized using fit-for-purpose method validation. The assay linear range is >3 orders of magnitude with total repeatability <16% CV. In proof-of-principle experiments, we demonstrate application of the multiplex assay by quantifying the FANCD2 proteoforms following mitomycin-c treatment in an isogenic pair of FancA-corrected and uncorrected cell lines, as well as primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Fanconi Anemia patients. Additionally, we demonstrate detection of endogenous FANCD2 monoubiquitination in human breast cancer tissue. The immuno-MRM assay provides a potential functional diagnostic for patients with Fanconi Anemia with defects in the upstream FA complex or FANCD2, and a potential test for predicting sensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents in human cancers.
范可尼贫血途径是 DNA 修复途径的重要协调者,尤其与 DNA 链间交联的修复相关。该途径的核心是 FANCD2 的单泛素化,这需要上游范可尼核心复合物中的多种蛋白质的功能。我们提出了一种基于肽免疫亲和富集和靶向多重反应监测质谱(免疫-MRM)的新型未修饰和单泛素化 FANCD2 蛋白水解物定量分析方法的开发和分析特征。免疫-MRM 分析方法采用适合目的的方法验证进行分析特征描述。该分析方法的线性范围>3 个数量级,总重复性<16% CV。在原理验证实验中,我们通过定量分析经丝裂霉素 C 处理后的同源校正和未校正细胞系以及范可尼贫血患者的外周血单核细胞中的 FANCD2 蛋白水解物,证明了该多重分析方法的应用。此外,我们还证明了在人乳腺癌组织中检测到内源性 FANCD2 单泛素化。免疫-MRM 分析方法为 FA 复合物或 FANCD2 上游缺陷的范可尼贫血患者提供了潜在的功能性诊断方法,以及预测人类癌症中 DNA 交联剂敏感性的潜在检测方法。
