    Abstract Native top-down mass spectrometry (nTDMS) has emerged as a powerful structural biology tool that can localize post-translational modifications (PTMs), explore ligand-binding interactions, and elucidate the three-dimensional structure of proteins and protein complexes in the gas-phase. Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) MS offers distinct capabilities for nTDMS, owing to its ultrahigh resolving power, mass accuracy, and robust fragmentation techniques. Previous nTDMS studies using FTICR have mainly been applied to overexpressed recombinant proteins and protein complexes. Here, we report the first nTDMS study that directly analyzes human heart tissue lysate by direct infusion FTICR MS without prior chromatographic separation strategies. We have achieved comprehensive nTDMS characterization of cardiac contractile proteins that play critical roles in heart contraction and relaxation. Specifically, our results reveal structural insights into ventricular myosin light chain 2 (MLC-2v), ventricular myosin light chain 1 (MLC-1v), and alpha-tropomyosin (α-Tpm) in the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of cardiac muscle. Furthermore, we verified the calcium (Ca

    Abstract In severe-acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, polyproteins (pp1a/pp1ab) are processed into non-structural proteins (nsps), which largely form the replication/transcription complex (RTC). The polyprotein processing and complex formation is critical and offers potential therapeutic targets. However, the interplay of polyprotein processing and RTC-assembly are poorly understood. Here, we studied two key aspects: The influence of the pp1a terminal nsp11 on the order of polyprotein processing by viral main protease Mpro and the influence of polyprotein processing on core enzyme complex formation. We established a method based on native MS to determine rate constants k considering the structural environment. This enabled us to quantify the multi-reaction kinetics of coronavirus polyprotein processing for the first time. Our results serve as a blueprint for other multi-cleavage reactions. Further, it offers a detailed and quantifiable perspective to the dynamic reactions of SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein processing, which is required for development of novel antivirals.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus is the causative agent of a respiratory disease with a high case fatality rate. During the formation of the coronaviral replication/transcription complex, essential steps include processing of the conserved polyprotein nsp7-10 region by the main protease Mpro and subsequent complex formation of the released nsp's. Here, we analyzed processing of the coronavirus nsp7-10 region using native mass spectrometry showing consumption of substrate, rise and fall of intermediate products and complexation. Importantly, there is a clear order of cleavage efficiencies, which is influenced by the polyprotein tertiary structure. Furthermore, the predominant product is an nsp7+8(2 : 2) hetero-tetramer with nsp8 scaffold. In conclusion, native MS, opposed to other methods, can expose the processing dynamics of viral polyproteins and the landscape of protein interactions in one set of experiments. Thereby, new insights into protein interactions, essential for generation of viral progeny, were provided, with relevance for development of antivirals.

    Abstract The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis resulting in over 1 million fatalities every year, despite decades of research into the development of new anti-TB compounds. Unlike most other organisms M. tuberculosis has six putative genes for epoxide hydrolases (EH) of the α/β-hydrolase family with little known about their individual substrates, suggesting functional significance for these genes to the organism. Due to their role in detoxification, M. tuberculosis EH's have been identified as potential drug targets. Here, we demonstrate epoxide hydrolase activity of M. thermoresistibile epoxide hydrolase A (Mth-EphA) and report its crystal structure in complex with the inhibitor 1,3-diphenylurea at 2.0 Å resolution. Mth-EphA displays high sequence similarity to its orthologue from M. tuberculosis and generally high structural similarity to α/β-hydrolase EHs. The structure of the inhibitor bound complex reveals the geometry of the catalytic residues and the conformation of the inhibitor. Comparison to other EHs from mycobacteria allows insight into the active site plasticity with respect to substrate specificity. We speculate that mycobacterial EHs may have a narrow substrate specificity providing a potential explanation for the genetic repertoire of epoxide hydrolase genes in M. tuberculosis.

    Abstract Over the last 20 years, mass spectrometry (MS), with its ability to analyze small sample amounts with high speed and sensitivity, has more and more entered the field of structural virology, aiming to investigate the structure and dynamics of viral proteins as close to their native environment as possible. The use of non-perturbing labels in hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS allows for the analysis of interactions between viral proteins and host cell factors as well as their dynamic responses to the environment. Cross-linking MS, on the other hand, can analyze interactions in viral protein complexes and identify virus-host interactions in cells. Native MS allows transferring viral proteins, complexes and capsids into the gas phase and has broken boundaries to overcome size limitations, so that now even the analysis of intact virions is possible. Different MS approaches not only inform about size, stability, interactions and dynamics of virus assemblies, but also bridge the gap to other biophysical techniques, providing valuable constraints for integrative structural modeling of viral complex assemblies that are often inaccessible by single technique approaches. In this review, recent advances are highlighted, clearly showing that structural MS approaches in virology are moving towards systems biology and ever more experiments are performed on cellular level.

    Abstract Native top-down proteomics (nTDP) integrates native mass spectrometry (nMS) with top-down proteomics (TDP) to provide comprehensive analysis of protein complexes together with proteoform identification and characterization. Despite significant advances in nMS and TDP software developments, a unified and user-friendly software package for analysis of nTDP data remains lacking. Herein, we have developed MASH Native to provide a unified solution for nTDP to process complex datasets with database searching capabilities in a user-friendly interface. MASH Native supports various data formats and incorporates multiple options for deconvolution, database searching, and spectral summing to provide a one-stop shop for characterizing both native protein complexes and proteoforms. The MASH Native app, video tutorials, written tutorials and additional documentation are freely available for download at https://labs.wisc.edu/gelab/MASH_Explorer/MASHNativeSoftware.php . All data files shown in user tutorials are included with the MASH Native software in the download .zip file.
