Structural Studies of a Stapled Peptide with Native Ion Mobility- Mass Spectrometry and Transition Metal Ion Fo?rster Resonance Energy Transfer in the Gas Phase
Journal of the American Chemical Society(2022)
摘要
Native mass spectrometry has emerged as an important tool for gas-phase structural biology. However, the conformations that a biomolecular ion adopts in the gas phase can differ from those found in solution. Herein, we report a synergistic, native ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and transition metal ion Fo''rster resonance energy transfer (tmFRET)based approach to probe the gas-phase ion structures of a nonstapled peptide (nsp; Ac-CAARAAHAAAHARARA-NH2) and a stapled peptide (sp; Ac-CXARAXHAAAHARARA-NH2). The stapled peptide contains a single hydrocarbon chain connecting the peptide backbone in the i and i + 4 positions via a Grubbs ring-closure metathesis. Fluorescence lifetime measurements indicated that the Cu-bound complexes of carboxyrhodamine 6g (crh6g)-labeled stapled peptide (sp-crh6g) had a shorter donor-acceptor distance (rDA) than the labeled nonstapled peptide (nsp-crh6g). Experimental collision cross-section (CCS) values were then determined by native IM-MS, which could separate the conformations of Cu-bound complexes of nsp-crh6g and sp-crh6g. Finally, the experimental CCS (i.e., shape) and rDA (i.e., distance) values were used as constraints for computational studies, which unambiguously revealed how a staple reduces the elongation of the peptide ions in the gas phase. This study demonstrates the superiority of combining native IM-MS, tmFRET, and computational studies to investigate the structure of biomolecular ions.
