Multi-omics data compendium: Data package 2 (Pck002)

In type 1 diabetes (T1D), autoimmune response and inflammation cause the death of pancreatic ß cells, leading to the body’s inability to produce insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis. This process is at least in part mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon (IFN)a, IFN?, interleukin (IL)-1ß, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)a, which induce ß-cell dysfunction and apoptosis. A deep understanding of the ß-cell signaling and regulatory networks induced by these cytokines could lead to the identification of therapeutic targets to prevent T1D development. To study cytokine-mediated islets/ß-cell signaling and regulatory networks, a variety of omics experiments have been conducted, including transcriptomics, epigenomics (DNA methylation, UMI-4C, ATAC-seq & ChIP-seq), proteomics (bottom-up, top-down, post-translational modification analysis), lipidomics, and metabolomics. The combination of these datasets can be instrumental in identifying signaling components and regulatory factors involved in ß-cell stress/death. Here, we aggregated these multiple omics datasets into a centralized location, providing a quality-controlled and statistically rigorous resource for investigators seeking to holistically study ß-cell regulation by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

IsoForma: An R Package for Quantifying and Visualizing Positional Isomers in Top-Down LC-MS/MS Data

Proteoforms, the different forms of a protein with sequence variations including post-translational modifications (PTMs), execute vital functions in biological systems such as cell signaling and epigenetic regulation. Precisely defining the stoichiometry of PTMs has been challenging because, in the widely used bottom-up proteomics methods, the detection occurs at the peptide level and thus the link between peptides and their specific modification site is lost, resulting in proteoform ambiguity. Advances in top-down mass spectrometry (MS) technology have permitted the direct characterization of intact proteoforms and their exact number of modification sites, allowing for the relative quantification of positional isomers (PI). Proteins with positional isomers refers to proteoforms with identical total mass and set of modifications but varying PTM site combinations. The relative abundance of PI can be estimated by matching proteoform-specific fragment ions to top-down tandem MS (MS2) data to localize and quantify modifications. However, current approaches heavily rely on manual annotation. Here, we present IsoForma, an open-source R package for relative quantification of PI within a single tool. We benchmarked IsoForma’s performance against two existing workflows and highlight the similarity of the results and improvements in speed. Overall, IsoForma provides a streamlined process, reduces the time of conducting isoform-based analyses, and offers an essential framework for developing customized proteoform analysis workflows. Finally, the software is open source and available at https://github.com/EMSL-Computing/isoforma-lib.

Comparing Top-Down Proteoform Identification: Deconvolution, PrSM Overlap, and PTM Detection

Generating top-down tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) for complex mixtures of proteoforms has become possible through improvements in fractionation, on-line separation, dissociation, and mass analysis. The algorithms to match tandem mass spectra to sequences have undergone a parallel evolution, with both spectral alignment and peak matching being paired with diverse methods for scoring proteoform-spectral matches (PrSMs). This study assesses state-of-the-art algorithms for top-down identification through three distinct challenges. The first is identifying a large yield of PrSMs while controlling false discovery rate (FDR) in identifying thousands of proteoforms from complex cell lysates via four software workflows: ProSight Proteome Discoverer, TopPIC, Informed Proteomics, and pTop. The second is the deconvolution of data from both Thermo Orbitrap-class and Bruker maXis Q-TOF instruments to produce consistent precursor charge and mass determinations while generating fragment mass lists to optimize identification. The third attempts to detect diverse post-translational modifications (PTMs) in proteoforms from cow milk and human ovarian tissue. The data demonstrate that existing software suites produce admirable sensitivity, in some cases identifying a third of collected tandem mass spectra with FDR controlled below 2%; the overlap in these PrSMs, however, illustrates real value in searching data with multiple search engines. Differences among identification workflows seem to result from each search algorithm incorporating its own deconvolution algorithm. By transmitting deconvolution data from multiple deconvolution routes (Thermo Xtract, Bruker Auto MSn, Mascot Distiller, TopFD, and FLASHDeconv) to the downstream TopPIC search algorithm, we were able to detect common causes of deconvolution disagreement. The detection of PTMs was very inconsistent among search algorithms, with some workflows suggesting as little as 1% of PrSMs from cow’s milk were singly-phosphorylated while other workflows found that 18% of PrSMs were singly-phosphorylated. Taken together, these results make a strong argument for top-down researchers to adopt a standard practice of analyzing each MS/MS experiment with at least two different search engines.

Discovery of unknown posttranslational modifications by top-down mass spectrometry

Post-translational modifications can be important biomarkers of function within biological systems. Top-down mass spectrometry is a valuable tool for the characterization of combinatorial modifications on proteins such as histones that have a range of complex modifications. In this chapter, we present a top-down liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry experimental and data analysis workflow for the identification of novel modifications on proteins. The data analysis workflow presented here is reliant on the combination of proteoform searching using TopPIC and data visualization and fragment ion spectral confirmation using LcMsSpectator, part of the Informed-Proteomics package of software.
