Characterization of a low-level unknown isomeric degradation product using an integrated online-offline top-down tandem mass spectrometry platform.

Yu X, Warme C, Lee D, Zhang J, Zhong W.Author information Structure Elucidation Group, Global Process & Analytical Chemistry, Merck Research Laboratories , 556 Morris Ave., Summit, New Jersey 07901, United States.AbstractAn integrated online-offline platform was developed combining automated online LC-MS fraction collection, continuous accumulation of selected ions (CASI), and offline top-down electron capture dissociation (ECD) tandem mass spectrometry experiments to identify a low-level, unknown isomeric degradant in a formulated drug product during an accelerated stability study. By identifying the diagnostic ions of the isoaspartic acid (isoAsp), the top-down ECD experiment showed that the Asp9 in exenatide was converted to isoAsp9 to form the unknown isomeric degradant. The platform described here provides an accurate, straightforward, and low limit of detection method for the analysis of Asp isomerization as well as other potential low-level degradants in therapeutic polypeptides and proteins. It is especially useful for unstable and time-sensitive degradants and impurities.

Molecular ageing of alpha- and Beta-synucleins: protein damage and repair mechanisms.

Vigneswara V, Cass S, Wayne D, Bolt EL, Ray DE, Carter WG.Author information School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Nottingham, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, United Kingdom.AbstractAbnormal α-synuclein aggregates are hallmarks of a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Alpha synuclein and β-synucleins are susceptible to post-translational modification as isoaspartate protein damage, which is regulated in vivo by the action of the repair enzyme protein L-isoaspartyl O-methyltransferase (PIMT). We aged in vitro native α-synuclein, the α-synuclein familial mutants A30P and A53T that give rise to Parkinsonian phenotypes, and β-synuclein, at physiological pH and temperature for a time course of up to 20 days. Resolution of native α-synuclein and β-synuclein by two dimensional techniques showed the accumulation of a number of post-translationally modified forms of both proteins. The levels of isoaspartate formed over the 20 day time course were quantified by exogenous methylation with PIMT using S-Adenosyl-L-[(3)H-methyl]methionine as a methyl donor, and liquid scintillation counting of liberated (3)H-methanol. All α-synuclein proteins accumulated isoaspartate at ∼1% of molecules/day, ∼20 times faster than for β-synuclein. This disparity between rates of isoaspartate was confirmed by exogenous methylation of synucleins by PIMT, protein resolution by one-dimensional denaturing gel electrophoresis, and visualisation of (3)H-methyl esters by autoradiography. Protein silver staining and autoradiography also revealed that α-synucleins accumulated stable oligomers that were resistant to denaturing conditions, and which also contained isoaspartate. Co-incubation of approximately equimolar β-synuclein with α-synuclein resulted in a significant reduction of isoaspartate formed in all α-synucleins after 20 days of ageing. Co-incubated α- and β-synucleins, or α, or β synucleins alone, were resolved by non-denaturing size exclusion chromatography and all formed oligomers of ∼57.5 kDa; consistent with tetramerization. Direct association of α-synuclein with β-synuclein in column fractions or from in vitro ageing co-incubations was demonstrated by their co-immunoprecipitation. These results provide an insight into the molecular differences between α- and β-synucleins during ageing, and highlight the susceptibility of α-synuclein to protein damage, and the potential protective role of β-synuclein.

A quantitative analysis of spontaneous isoaspartate formation from N-terminal asparaginyl and aspartyl residues.

Güttler BH, Cynis H, Seifert F, Ludwig HH, Porzel A, Schilling S.Author information Probiodrug AG, Weinbergweg 22, Biozentrum, 06120, Halle (Saale), Germany.AbstractThe formation of isoaspartate (isoAsp) from asparaginyl or aspartyl residues is a spontaneous post-translational modification of peptides and proteins. Due to isopeptide bond formation, the structure and possibly function of peptides and proteins is altered. IsoAsp modifications within the peptide chain have been reported for many cytosolic proteins. Amyloid peptides (Aβ) deposited in Alzheimer's disease may carry an N-terminal isoAsp-modification. Here, we describe a quantitative investigation of isoAsp-formation from N-terminal Asn and Asp using model peptides similar to the Aβ N-terminus. The study is based on a newly developed separation of peptides using capillary electrophoresis (CE). 1H NMR was employed to validate the basic finding of N-terminal isoAsp-formation from Asp and Asn. Thereby, the isomerization of Asn at neutral pH (0.6 day(-1), peptide NGEF) is approximately six times faster than that within the peptide chain (AANGEF). The difference in velocity between Asn and Asp isomerization is approximately 50-fold. In contrast to N-terminal Asn, Asp isomerization is significantly accelerated at acidic pH. The kinetic solvent isotope (kD2O/kH2O) effect of 2.46 suggests a rate-limiting proton transfer in isoAsp-formation. The proton inventory is consistent with transfer of one proton in the transition state, supporting the previous notion of rate-limiting deprotonation of the peptide backbone amide during succinimide-intermediate formation. The study provides evidence for a spontaneous N-terminal isoAsp-formation within peptides and might explain the accumulation of N-terminal isoAsp in amyloid deposits.
