    Abstract Membrane protein purification by means of detergents is key to isolating membrane-bound therapeutic targets. The role of the detergent structure in this process, however, is not well understood. Detergents are optimized empirically, leading to failed preparations, and thereby raising costs. Here we evaluate the utility of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) concept, which was introduced by Griffin in 1949, for guiding the optimization of the hydrophobic tail in first-generation, dendritic oligoglycerol detergents ([G1] OGDs). Our findings deliver qualitative HLB guidelines for rationalizing the optimization of detergents. Moreover, [G1] OGDs exhibit strongly delipidating properties, regardless of the structure of the hydrophobic tail, which delivers a methodological enabling step for investigating binding strengths of endogenous lipids and their role for membrane protein oligomerization. Our findings will facilitate the analysis of challenging drug targets in the future.

    Abstract Chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI-2) is a well-studied, textbook example of a cooperative, two-state, native ↔ denatured folding transition. A recent hybrid ion mobility spectrometry (IMS)/mass spectrometry (MS) thermal denaturation study of CI-2 (the well-studied truncated 64-residue model) in water reported evidence that this two-state transition involves numerous (∼41) unique native and non-native (denatured) solution conformations. The characterization of so many, often low-abundance, states is possible because of the very high dynamic range of IMS-MS measurements of ionic species that are produced upon electrospraying CI-2 solutions from a variable temperature electrospray ionization source. A thermodynamic analysis of these states revealed large changes in enthalpy (Δ

    Abstract Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is vital for maintaining the outer membrane barrier in Gram-negative bacteria. LPS is also frequently obtained in complex with the inner membrane proteins after detergent purification. The question of whether or not LPS binding to inner membrane proteins not involved in outer membrane biogenesis reflects native lipid environments remains unclear. Here, we leverage the control of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance and packing parameter concepts to chemically tune detergents that can be used to qualitatively differentiate the degree to which proteins copurify with phospholipids (PLs) and/or LPS. Given the scalable properties of these detergents, we demonstrate a detergent fine-tuning that enables the facile investigation of intact proteins and their complexes with lipids by native mass spectrometry (nMS). We conclude that LPS, a lipid that is believed to be important for outer membranes, can also affect the activity of membrane proteins that are currently not assigned to be involved in outer membrane biogenesis. Our results deliver a scalable detergent chemistry for a streamlined biophysical characterization of protein-lipid interactions, provide a rationale for the high affinity of LPS-protein binding, and identify noncanonical associations between LPS and inner membrane proteins with relevance for membrane biology and antibiotic research.

    Abstract Variable-temperature nano-electrospray ionization coupled with ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry is used to investigate the thermal denaturation of the tetrameric protein concanavalin A. As the solution temperature is increased, changes in mass spectra and collision cross section distributions provide evidence for discrete structural changes that occur at temperatures that are ~40 to 50 degrees below the temperature required for tetramer dissociation. The subtle structural changes are associated with four distinct tetramer conformations with unique melting temperatures. Gibbs-Helmholtz analysis of the free energies determined with respect to the most abundant "native" state yields heat capacities of ΔC

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein is a highly immunogenic viral protein that plays essential roles in replication and virion assembly. Here, using native mass spectrometry, we show that dimers are the functional unit of ribonucleoprotein assembly and that N protein binds RNA with a preference for GGG motifs, a common motif in coronavirus packaging signals. Unexpectedly, proteolytic processing of N protein resulted in the formation of additional proteoforms. The N-terminal proteoforms bind RNA, with the same preference for GGG motifs, and bind to cyclophilin A, an interaction which can be abolished by approved immunosuppressant cyclosporin A. Furthermore, N proteoforms showed significantly different interactions with IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies from convalescent plasma. Notably, the C-terminal proteoform exhibited a heightened interaction with convalescent antibodies, suggesting the antigenic epitope is localized to the C-terminus. Overall, the different interactions of N proteoforms highlight potential avenues for therapeutic intervention and identify a stable and immunogenic proteoform as a possible candidate for immune-directed therapies.
