    Abstract Background: Factor (F)XI can be activated by proteases, including thrombin and FXIIa. The interactions of these enzymes with FXI are transient in nature and therefore difficult to study.
    Objectives: To identify the binding interface between thrombin and FXI and understand the dynamics underlying FXI activation.
    Methods: Crosslinking mass spectrometry was used to localize the binding interface of thrombin on FXI. Molecular dynamics simulations were applied to investigate conformational changes enabling thrombin-mediated FXI activation after binding. The proposed trajectory of activation was examined with nanobody 1C10, which was previously shown to inhibit thrombin-mediated activation of FXI.
    Results: We identified a binding interface of thrombin located on the light chain of FXI involving residue Pro520. After this initial interaction, FXI undergoes conformational changes driven by binding of thrombin to the apple 1 domain in a secondary step to allow migration toward the FXI cleavage site. The 1C10 binding site on the apple 1 domain supports this proposed trajectory of thrombin. We validated the results with known mutation sites on FXI. As Pro520 is conserved in prekallikrein (PK), we hypothesized and showed that thrombin can bind PK, even though it cannot activate PK.
    Conclusion: Our investigations show that the activation of FXI is a multistaged procedure. Thrombin first binds to Pro520 in FXI; thereafter, it migrates toward the activation site by engaging the apple 1 domain. This detailed analysis of the interaction between thrombin and FXI paves a way for future interventions for bleeding or thrombosis.

    Abstract Recombinant expression of proteins, propelled by therapeutic antibodies, has evolved into a multibillion dollar industry. Essential here is the quality control assessment of critical attributes, such as sequence fidelity, proper folding, and posttranslational modifications. Errors can lead to diminished bioactivity and, in the context of therapeutic proteins, an elevated risk for immunogenicity. Over the years, many techniques were developed and applied to validate proteins in a standardized and high-throughput fashion. One parameter has, however, so far been challenging to assess. Disulfide bridges, covalent bonds linking two cysteine residues, assist in the correct folding and stability of proteins and thus have a major influence on their efficacy. Mass spectrometry promises to be an optimal technique to uncover them in a fast and accurate fashion. In this work, we present a unique combination of sample preparation, data acquisition, and analysis facilitating the rapid and accurate assessment of disulfide bridges in purified proteins. Through microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis, the proteins are digested rapidly and artifact-free into peptides, with a substantial degree of overlap over the sequence. The nonspecific nature of this procedure, however, introduces chemical background, which is efficiently removed by integrating ion mobility preceding the mass spectrometric measurement. The nonspecific nature of the digestion step additionally necessitates new developments in data analysis, for which we extended the XlinkX node in Proteome Discoverer to efficiently process the data and ensure correctness through effective false discovery rate correction. The entire workflow can be completed within 1 h, allowing for high-throughput, high-accuracy disulfide mapping.

    Abstract Summary: Implementing and combining methods from a diverse range of R/Bioconductor packages into 'omics' data analysis workflows represents a significant challenge in terms of standardization, readability and reproducibility. Here, we present an R/Bioconductor package, named struct (Statistics in R using Class-based Templates), which defines a suite of class-based templates that allows users to develop and implement highly standardized and readable statistical analysis workflows. Struct integrates with the STATistics Ontology to ensure consistent reporting and maximizes semantic interoperability. We also present a toolbox, named structToolbox, which includes an extensive set of commonly used data analysis methods that have been implemented using struct. This toolbox can be used to build data-analysis workflows for metabolomics and other omics technologies.
    Availability and implementation: struct and structToolbox are implemented in R, and are freely available from Bioconductor (http://bioconductor.org/packages/struct and http://bioconductor.org/packages/structToolbox), including documentation and vignettes. Source code is available and maintained at https://github.com/computational-metabolomics.

    Abstract Measuring physiochemically diverse molecules (including lipids) which vary significantly in their concentrations poses a great analytical challenge. In untargeted lipidomics studies, reversed phase chromatography coupled with data-dependent MS/MS acquisition (DDA) is frequently applied. The optimal assay should deliver a high number of detected compounds with associated fragmentation data. In this work, we introduce novel 30 and 50 min UHPLC assays utilising lipid separation on a C₃₀ stationary phase with a modified DDA strategy using smaller precursor m/z ranges scheduled for different lipid classes across the retention time range (defined as scheduled MS/MS). To evaluate the efficiency of the novel assays, mammalian tissue extracts (lamb liver, kidney and heart) were analysed and data were compared to a 15 min reversed phase C₁₈ assay with multiple traditional DDA injections. The 30 min C₃₀ assay detected double the number of detected compounds compared to the 15 min C₁₈ assay. Applying the scheduled MS/MS DDA strategy with a single injection, a similar number of annotated lipids were reported compared to the traditional DDA strategy applied with five replicate injections on a C₁₈ column. A longer 50 min C₃₀ chromatographic assay did not result in an expected improvement in the chromatographic separation of overlapping isomer peaks compared to the 30 min method but did result in loss of accuracy of peak picking algorithms. We recommend the 30 min C₃₀ assay with scheduled MS/MS acquisition as an efficient tool to analyse complex biological matrices and to annotate lipid species based on MS/MS data.

    Abstract Endogenous antibodies, or immunoglobulins (Igs), abundantly present in body fluids, represent some of the most challenging samples to analyze, largely due to the immense variability in their sequences and concentrations. It has been estimated that our body can produce billions of different Ig proteins with different isotypes, making their individual analysis seemingly impossible. However, recent advances in protein-centric proteomics using LC-MS coupled to Orbitrap mass analyzers to profile intact Fab fragments formed by selective cleavage at the IgG-hinge revealed that IgG repertoires may be less diverse, albeit unique for each donor. Serum repertoires seem to be dominated by a few hundred clones that cumulatively make up 50-95% of the total IgG content. Enabling such analyses required careful optimization of the chromatography and mass analysis, as all Fab analytes are highly alike in mass (46-51 kDa) and sequence. To extend the opportunities of this mass-spectrometry-based profiling of antibody repertoires, we here report the optimization and evaluation of an alternative MS platform, namely, the timsTOF, for antibody repertoire profiling. The timsTOF mass analyzer has gained traction in recent years for peptide-centric proteomics and found wide applicability in plasma proteomics, affinity proteomics, and HLA peptidomics, to name a few. However, for protein-centric analysis, this platform has been less explored. Here, we demonstrate that the timsTOF platform can be adapted to perform protein-centric LC-MS-based profiling of antibody repertoires. In a side-by-side comparison of the timsTOF and the Orbitrap we demonstrate that the extracted serum antibody repertoires are alike qualitatively and quantitatively, whereby in particular the sensitivity of the timsTOF platform excels. Future incorporation of advanced top-down capabilities on the timsTOF may make this platform a very valuable alternative for protein-centric proteomics and top-down proteomics and thus also for personalized antibody repertoire profiling.

    Abstract Spatial separation of ions in the gas phase, providing information about their size as collisional cross-sections, can readily be achieved through ion mobility. The timsTOF Pro (Bruker Daltonics) series combines a trapped ion mobility device with a quadrupole, collision cell, and a time-of-flight analyzer to enable the analysis of ions at great speed. Here, we show that the timsTOF Pro is capable of physically separating N-glycopeptides from nonmodified peptides and producing high-quality fragmentation spectra, both beneficial for glycoproteomics analyses of complex samples. The glycan moieties enlarge the size of glycopeptides compared with nonmodified peptides, yielding a clear cluster in the mobilogram that, next to increased dynamic range from the physical separation of glycopeptides and nonmodified peptides, can be used to make an effective selection filter for directing the mass spectrometer to analytes of interest. We designed an approach where we (1) focused on a region of interest in the ion mobilogram and (2) applied stepped collision energies to obtain informative glycopeptide tandem mass spectra on the timsTOF Pro:glyco-polygon-stepped collision energy-parallel accumulation serial fragmentation. This method was applied to selected glycoproteins, human plasma- and neutrophil-derived glycopeptides. We show that the achieved physical separation in the region of interest allows for improved extraction of information from the samples, even at shorter liquid chromatography gradients of 15 min. We validated our approach on human neutrophil and plasma samples of known makeup, in which we captured the anticipated glycan heterogeneity (paucimannose, phosphomannose, high mannose, hybrid and complex glycans) from plasma and neutrophil samples at the expected abundances. As the method is compatible with off-the-shelve data acquisition routines and data analysis software, it can readily be applied by any laboratory with a timsTOF Pro and is reproducible as demonstrated by a comparison between two laboratories.

    Abstract Background: In this study, we evaluated the lipidome alterations caused by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), by determining lipids significantly associated with diabetes overall and in both sexes, and lipids associated with the glycaemic state.
    Methods: An untargeted lipidomic analysis was performed to measure the lipid profiles of 360 subjects (91 T1D, 91 T2D, 74 with prediabetes and 104 controls (CT)) without cardiovascular and/or chronic kidney disease. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS) was conducted in two ion modes (positive and negative). We used multiple linear regression models to (1) assess the association between each lipid feature and each condition, (2) determine sex-specific differences related to diabetes, and (3) identify lipids associated with the glycaemic state by considering the prediabetes stage. The models were adjusted by sex, age, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, body mass index, glucose, smoking, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, alternate Mediterranean diet score (aMED) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); diabetes duration and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were also included in the comparison between T1D and T2D.
    Results: A total of 54 unique lipid subspecies from 15 unique lipid classes were annotated. Lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) and ceramides (Cer) showed opposite effects in subjects with T1D and subjects with T2D, LPCs being mainly up-regulated in T1D and down-regulated in T2D, and Cer being up-regulated in T2D and down-regulated in T1D. Also, Phosphatidylcholines were clearly down-regulated in subjects with T1D. Regarding sex-specific differences, ceramides and phosphatidylcholines exhibited important diabetes-associated differences due to sex. Concerning the glycaemic state, we found a gradual increase of a panel of 1-deoxyceramides from normoglycemia to prediabetes to T2D.
    Conclusions: Our findings revealed an extensive disruption of lipid metabolism in both T1D and T2D. Additionally, we found sex-specific lipidome changes associated with diabetes, and lipids associated with the glycaemic state that can be linked to previously described molecular mechanisms in diabetes.

    Abstract Metabolic phenotyping of tissues uses metabolomics and lipidomics to measure the relative polar and nonpolar (lipid) metabolite levels in biological samples. This approach aims to understand disease biochemistry and identify biochemical markers of disease. Sample preparation methods must be reproducible, sensitive (high metabolite and lipid yield), and ideally rapid. We evaluated three biphasic methods for polar and nonpolar compound extraction (chloroform/methanol/water, dichloromethane/methanol/water, and methyl tert-butyl ether [MTBE]/methanol/water), a monophasic method for polar compound extraction (acetonitrile/methanol/water), and a monophasic method for nonpolar compound extraction (isopropanol/water). All methods were applied to mammalian heart, kidney, and liver tissues. Polar extracts were analyzed by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) and nonpolar extracts by C
