Derivatization of protonated peptides via gas phase ion—molecule reactions with acetone

The protonated [M + H]+ ions of glycine, simple glycine containing peptides, and other simple di- and tripeptides react with acetone in the gas phase to yield [M + H + (CH3)2CO]+ adduct ion, some of which fragment via water loss to give [M + H + (CH3)2CO - H2O]+ Schiff's base adducts. Formation of the [M + H + (CH3)2CO]+ adduct ions is dependent on the difference in proton affinities between the peptide M and acetone, while formation of the [M + H + (CH3)2CO - H2O]+ Schiff's base adducts is dependent on the ability of the peptide to act as an intramolecular proton "shuttle." The structure and mechanisms for the formation of these Schiff's base adducts have been examined via the use of collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CID MS/MS), isotopic labeling [using (CD3)2CO] and by comparison with the reactions of Schiff's base adducts formed in solution. CID MS/MS of these adducts yield primarily N-terminally directed a- and b-type "sequence" ions. Potential structures of the b1 ion, not usually observed in the product ion spectra of protonated peptide ions, were examined using ab initio calculations. A cyclic 5 membered pyrrolinone, formed by a neighboring group participation reaction from an enamine precursor, was predicted to be the primary product.     

Peak width‐mass correlation in CID MS/MS of isomeric oligosaccharides using traveling‐wave ion mobility mass spectrometry

Isomeric oligosaccharides γ‐cyclodextrin (γ‐CD), glucosyl‐βCD (Glc₁‐βCD) and maltosyl‐αCD (Glc₂‐αCD) were analyzed by traveling‐wave ion mobility (twIM) mass spectrometry (MS). Their formation of multicharged multimers differed from each other. The ion mobility‐mass spectrometry was useful in the self‐assembling and complex formation analyses of CD isomers. The drift times of the isomers and their product ions with the same mass were almost the same in collision‐induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS. In contrast, the ion mobility peak widths were sensitive to structural differences of the isomeric product ions. The twIM peak width (ms ‐ µs) of the product ions [M ? Glc_n + H]⁺ (n = 0 ～ 6) of γ‐CD correlated linearly with their masses (Da); the large and/or long chain product ions had wider peak widths, which were much wider than those from the general diffusion effect. This was a novel and useful ‘trend line’ to discriminate between the three isomers. Plots of [M ? Glc_{2 ～ 6} + H]⁺ of Glc₁‐βCD and [M ? Glc_{3 ～ 6} + H]⁺ of Glc₂‐αCD product ions' plots were on the same trend line as γ‐CD. The plots of [M ? Glc₁ + H]⁺ of Glc₁‐βCD and [M ? Glc_{1, 2} + H]⁺ of Glc₂‐αCD strayed from the γ‐CD line; their peak widths were narrower than those of γ‐CD. These results indicated that product ions from the chemical species of Glc₁‐β CD and Glc₂‐αCD retained their CD structure. Analyses of the IM peak widths enable us to elucidate the structures of the product ions. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A chemical ionization study of deuteron transfer initiated propene loss from propoxypyridines

The mechanism of propene loss from the metastable [M + D](+) ions of isomeric 2-, 3-, and 4-n-propoxypyridines and the related isopropoxypyridines has been examined by chemical ionization (CI) and tandem mass spectrometry in combination with deuterium labeling. The [M + D](+) ions were generated with CD(3)OD, CD(3)CN, (CD(3))(2)CO, or pyrrole-D(5) (listed in order of increasing proton affinity) as the CI reagent. The results reveal that the deuteron added in the CI process is not interchanged with the hydrogen atoms of the propyl group prior to propene loss from the metastable [M + D](+) ions of the propoxypyridines. The site selective labeling of the alpha-, beta-, or gamma-position of the propyl group indicates that the [M + D](+) ions of 2-n-propoxypyridine expel propene with formation of an ion-neutral complex composed of a propyl carbenium ion and 2-pyridone. By contrast, the [M + D](+) ions of 3-n-propoxypyridine expel propene by: (1) Formation of ion-neutral complexes, and (2) a conventional 1,5-hydride shift from the beta-position of the n-propyl group to the ring and/or a 1,2-elimination type process. For the 4-isomer, the results suggest the occurrence of propene loss by a 1,2-elimination in addition to the intermediate formation of ion-neutral complexes. Loss of propene with one deuterium atom is the only reaction of the [M + D](+) ions of the isopropoxypyridines labeled at the alpha-position of the isopropyl group. The results for the isopropoxypyridines labeled with three deuterium atoms at the beta-position are consistent with: (1) The loss of propene by ion-neutral complex formation and the occurrence of a substantial isotope effect in the subsequent proton/deuteron transfer within the complex, and/or (2) the loss of propene by a 1,2-elimination type reaction.     

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions of cis- and trans-cyclopropane derivatives with D(2)O and CD(3)OD in the gas phase

Gas-phase hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange reactions involving four isomeric cyclopropane derivatives were investigated under chemical ionization (CI) conditions, using D(2)O and CD(3)OD as reagent gases. There are abundant ions at [M + 1](+), [M + 2](+) and [M + 3](+) in the D(2)O and CD(3)OD positive-ion CI mass spectra of the two isomer pairs 1, 2 and 3, 4. Their CI mass spectra are identical with each pair, and so are the collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of ions [M + 1](+), [M + 2](+) and [M + 3](+) of each of the two isomer pairs. The CID spectra of [M + 1](+) ions indicate that they have common D/H exchange reactions within each pair, which take place between molecular ions and deuterium-labeling reagents to form the [M - H + D](+) ions. Those of their [M + 2](+) ions show that they have common D/H exchange reactions within each pair, which form the [M(d1) + H](+) ions. Those of their [M + 3](+) ions show that they have common D/H exchange reactions within each pair, which take place between the [M(d1)] and deuterium-labeling reagents to produce [M(d2) + H](+) for the isomer pair 1, 2 and [M(d1) + D](+) for the isomer pair 3, 4. The number and position, and active order of the active hydrogen atoms of the isomer pairs 1, 2 and 3, 4 were determined. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Substituent effects on the gas-phase fragmentation reactions of sulfonium ion containing peptides

The multistage mass spectrometric (MS/MS and MS3) gas-phase fragmentation reactions of methionine side-chain sulfonium ion containing peptides formed by reaction with a series of para-substituted phenacyl bromide (XBr where X=CH2COC6H4R, and R=--COOH, --COOCH3, --H, --CH3 and --CH2CH3) alkylating reagents have been examined in a linear quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. MS/MS of the singly (M+) and multiply ([M++nH](n+1)+) charged precursor ions results in exclusive dissociation at the fixed charge containing side chain, independently of the amino acid composition and precursor ion charge state (i.e., proton mobility). However, loss of the methylphenacyl sulfide side-chain fragment as a neutral versus charged (protonated) species was observed to be highly dependent on the proton mobility of the precursor ion, and the identity of the phenacyl group para-substituent. Molecular orbital calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G** level of theory to calculate the theoretical proton affinities of the neutral side-chain fragments. The log of the ratio of neutral versus protonated side-chain fragment losses from the derivatized side chain were found to exhibit a linear dependence on the proton affinity of the side-chain fragmentation product, as well as the proton affinities of the peptide product ions. Finally, MS3 dissociation of the nominally identical neutral and protonated loss product ions formed by MS/MS of the [M++H]2+ and [M++2H]3+ precursor ions, respectively, from the peptide GAILM(X)GAILK revealed significant differences in the abundances of the resultant product ions. These results suggest that the protonated peptide product ions formed by gas-phase fragmentation of sulfonium ion containing precursors in an ion trap mass spectrometer do not necessarily undergo intramolecular proton 'scrambling' prior to their further dissociation, in contrast to that previously demonstrated for peptide ions introduced by external ionization sources.     

Isotope edited product ion assignment by α-N labeling of peptides with [2H3(50%)]2,4-Dinitrofluorobenzene

An isotopic modification of Sanger's method for identifying peptide N-termini has been developed to assist peptide sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry. Tryptic peptides, such as Val-His-Leu-Thr-Pro-Val-Glu-Lys, are derivatized with an equimolar mixture of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and [2H3]2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. Under optimized derivatization conditions, the alpha-amino group could be derivatized while the epsilon-amine of the lysine side chain and the imidazole of histidine remained underivatized. The alpha-dinitrophenyl modified peptides were characterized by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography (LC)-ESI-MS. The [M + H]+ ions showed a doublet pattern with a delta m/z of 3 and the [M + 2H]2+ ions were recognized as doublets with a delta m/z of 1.5. MS/MS was employed where both isotopic [M + 2H]2+ ions were alternately subjected to collision-induced dissociation in the second quadrupole. Fragmentation in the ionization source generated identical product ion patterns that were observed during fragmentation in the second quadrupole. In the product ion mass spectra, the N-terminal a and b ions (no c ion observed) are doublets with a delta m/z of 3 or 1.5, while the C-terminal y and z ions (no x ion observed) are singlets appearing at identical masses. Thus, the product ions containing the N-terminus derivatized with a dinitrophenyl group are unequivocally distinguished from the product ions containing the C-terminus. The dinitrophenyl modification generally enhanced the production of a and b ions without diminishing y and z ion yields.     

Reactivity of anomeric 1alpha- and 1beta-pentofuranosyl azide derivatives in ammonia chemical ionization

Electron impact (EI), fast atom bombardment (FAB) and ammonia chemical ionization [CI(NH3)] mass spectrometry were applied with the aim of differentiating between the anomeric 1alpha- and 1beta-azidopentofuranosyl derivatives. Calculated ammonium affinities [AA(M)] and proton affinities [PA(M)] show that beta-anomers have higher affinities for H+ and NH4+ ions than alpha-azides. Protonated molecules, obtained by CI(NH3) of azidofuranosyl derivatives, lose HN3 giving abundant furanosyl (S+) ions. Ammonia solvation of MH+ ions competes with the previous reaction producing the [SNHN2NH3]+ ion, a competitive product to the ammonium-attached [SN3NH4]+ ion. The fragmentation pathways of the stable and metastable [MNH4]+, MH+ ions, and several other important fragment ions, were determined using mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry (MIKES). The abundance of the [SN3NH4]+ and/or [SNHN2NH3]+ ions was found to correlate inversely with the exothermicity of ammonia solvation of the MH+ ion. The abundance of the fragment ions [SNHNH3]+, [SNH3]+ and SNH+ in some examples correlates with the exothermicity of the corresponding [MNH4]+ and MH+ parent ion formation. The fragment ions SNH3+ and SNHNH3+ can be formed, at least in part, in the ammonia solvation reaction of the S+ and SNH+ ions taking place within the high-pressure region of the CI ion source.     

Effective solvation of alkaline earth ions by proline-rich proteolytic peptides of galectin-3 upon electrospray ionisation

In an analysis of a combined chymotrypsin/AspN digest of galectin-3 by positive ion nano-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS) several peptides were observed which showed metal adduct ions as their most abundant ion signals. The most prominent adduct ions were observed at m/z values corresponding to [M+40]2+, [M+41]3+, and [M+42]4+ ions. Detailed investigation of the [M+40]2+ ion of the peptide GAPAGPLIVPY showed that it was not, as originally expected, a [M+H+39K]2+ adduct ion but had the composition [M+40Ca]2+. This was verified by several approaches: (i) nanoESI-MS/MS of the [M+Ca]2+ adduct ions resulted in the virtually exclusive formation of doubly charged fragment ions; (ii) mass determination by quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF)-MS provided a preliminary identification; and (iii) accurate mass measurement using nanoESI Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)-MS at a mass resolving power of 500 000 allowed the specific detection and identification of the isobaric ion pairs [M+40Ca]2+/[M+H+39K]2+ and [M+24Mg]2+/[M+H+23Na]2+. All peptides in the chymotryptic galectin-3 digest without a basic residue (K or R) showed addition of calcium as the most prominent ionisation principle. A further common feature of these nonbasic peptides was the presence of several proline residues, which is assumed to be a factor promoting the intense addition of calcium. It was observed that the common trace levels of sodium and calcium in analytical grade solvents (about 1-10 microM) are sufficient to generate the [M+H+23Na]2+ and [M+40Ca]2+ ions as the most prominent species of the peptide GAPAGPLIVPY. We conclude that the sequence motifs P-XX-P and P-XXX-P favour the solvation of alkaline earth ions in ESI-MS. In view of the successful detection of physiological Ca/protein interactions by ESI-MS, this finding may point to a solvation of Ca2+ by galectin in solution. The findings open new routes of research in the study of metal/protein and metal/peptide interactions     

Electrospray tandem mass spectrometry for structural characterization of aporphine- benzylisoquinoline alkaloids

Electrospray mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry techniques were utilized to elucidate the structures of ten aporphine-benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, consisting of monoether link between aporphine and benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline units, which were isolated and identified previously from a variety of Thalictrum sp. (Ranunculaceae family) based mainly on the UV, IR, CD, NMR, EI-MS, CI-MS, derivatization, and chemical degradation techniques. In this investigation, protonated molecules, [M+H]+ ions, for nine tertiary alkaloids, a molecular ion, [M+'] ion, for a quaternary alkaloid, and very intense doubly- protonated molecules, [M+2H]2+ ions (100% of relative abundance) in Q1 Scan MS spectra, and prominent as well as diagnostic product ions for structural information in the tandem MS/MS spectra were observed for all investigated alkaloids each in nanogram quantities. More than 10 microg quantities of each investigated alkaloid or other isoquinoline and aporphine analogs needed for the CI-MS, EI-MS and FAB-MS analysis from the previous studies.
