    Abstract In this chapter, we describe a method for analyzing both recombinant and plasma-derived alpha 1 antitrypsin and its oligomers by means of native ion mobility mass spectrometry. Our experimental workflow can be applied to other variants of alpha 1 antitrypsin and its oligomers as well as being used to probe their interactions with small molecules in the gas phase.

    Abstract Ion Mobility (IM) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) is a useful tool for separating species of interest out of small quantities of heterogenous mixtures via a combination of m/z and molecular shape. While tandem MS instruments are common, instruments which employ tandem IM are less so with the first commercial IM-MS instrument capable of multiple IM selection rounds being released in 2019. Here we explore the history of tandem IM instruments, recent developments, the applications to biological systems and expected future directions.

    Abstract Mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly being used to probe the structure and dynamics of proteins and the complexes they form with other macromolecules. There are now several specialized MS methods, each with unique sample preparation, data acquisition, and data processing protocols. Collectively, these methods are referred to as structural MS and include cross-linking, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, hydroxyl radical footprinting, native, ion mobility, and top-down MS. Each of these provides a unique type of structural information, ranging from composition and stoichiometry through to residue level proximity and solvent accessibility. Structural MS has proved particularly beneficial in studying protein classes for which analysis by classic structural biology techniques proves challenging such as glycosylated or intrinsically disordered proteins. To capture the structural details for a particular system, especially larger multiprotein complexes, more than one structural MS method with other structural and biophysical techniques is often required. Key to integrating these diverse data are computational strategies and software solutions to facilitate this process. We provide a background to the structural MS methods and briefly summarize other structural methods and how these are combined with MS. We then describe current state of the art approaches for the integration of structural MS data for structural biology. We quantify how often these methods are used together and provide examples where such combinations have been fruitful. To illustrate the power of integrative approaches, we discuss progress in solving the structures of the proteasome and the nuclear pore complex. We also discuss how information from structural MS, particularly pertaining to protein dynamics, is not currently utilized in integrative workflows and how such information can provide a more accurate picture of the systems studied. We conclude by discussing new developments in the MS and computational fields that will further enable in-cell structural studies.

    Abstract We propose a pipeline that combines AlphaFold2 (AF2) and crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to model the structure of proteins with multiple conformations. The pipeline consists of two main steps: ensemble generation using AF2 and conformer selection using XL-MS data. For conformer selection, we developed two scores-the monolink probability score (MP) and the crosslink probability score (XLP)-both of which are based on residue depth from the protein surface. We benchmarked MP and XLP on a large dataset of decoy protein structures and showed that our scores outperform previously developed scores. We then tested our methodology on three proteins having an open and closed conformation in the Protein Data Bank: Complement component 3 (C3), luciferase, and glutamine-binding periplasmic protein, first generating ensembles using AF2, which were then screened for the open and closed conformations using experimental XL-MS data. In five out of six cases, the most accurate model within the AF2 ensembles-or a conformation within 1 Å of this model-was identified using crosslinks, as assessed through the XLP score. In the remaining case, only the monolinks (assessed through the MP score) successfully identified the open conformation of glutamine-binding periplasmic protein, and these results were further improved by including the "occupancy" of the monolinks. This serves as a compelling proof-of-concept for the effectiveness of monolinks. In contrast, the AF2 assessment score was only able to identify the most accurate conformation in two out of six cases. Our results highlight the complementarity of AF2 with experimental methods like XL-MS, with the MP and XLP scores providing reliable metrics to assess the quality of the predicted models. The MP and XLP scoring functions mentioned above are available at https://gitlab.com/topf-lab/xlms-tools.

    Abstract Rationale: Travelling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TWIMS) is increasingly being used as a method for calculating the collision cross sections (CCSs) of protein ions. To calculate the CCS values of unknown ions, however, the TWIMS device needs to be calibrated using calibrant proteins of known CCS values. The effect of calibrant protein concentration on the accuracy of the resulting calibration curve has not been explicitly studied so far. We hypothesised that at high protein concentrations the ion density within the TWIMS device will be such that ions will experience space charge effects resulting in deviations, as well as broadening, of ion arrival time distributions (ATDs). Calibration curves using these altered ATDs would therefore result in incorrect CCS values being calculated for the protein ions of interest.
    Methods: Three protein CCS calibrants, avidin, bovine serum albumin and β-lactgobulin, were prepared at different concentrations and used to calculate the CCS of a non-calibrant protein. Data were collected on a Synapt G1 ion mobility mass spectrometer with a nano-electrospray ionisation (nESI) source using capillaries prepared in house.
    Results: Increasing the concentration of CCS calibrants caused ATD broadening and shifted the ATD peak tops, leading to a significant increase in calculated CCS values.
    Conclusions: The concentration of protein calibrants can directly affect the quality of the CCS calibration in TWIMS experiments.

    Abstract Cross-linking mass spectrometry is an emerging structural biology technique. Almost exclusively, the analyzer of choice for such an experiment has been the Orbitrap. We present an optimized protocol for the use of a Synapt G2-Si for the analysis of cross-linked peptides. We first tested six different energy ramps and analyzed the fragmentation behavior of cross-linked peptides identified by xQuest. By combining the most successful energy ramps, cross-link yield can be increased by up to 40%. When compared to previously published Orbitrap data, the Synapt G2-Si also offers improved fragmentation of the β peptide. In order to improve cross-link quality control we have also developed ValidateXL, a programmatic solution that works with existing cross-linking software to improve cross-link quality control.
