Abstract: | Recent studies have suggested that adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) post-translational modification of proteins could represent
a novel molecular signaling pathway. Mass spectrometric fragmentation characteristics of this modification have not previously
been described and studied systematically. In this work, we therefore examined the fragmentation pattern of chemically synthesized
peptides containing AMPylated Thr, Ser, and Tyr. The formation of characteristic ions and the influence of collision energy
(CE) on the detection of characteristic ions and their relative peak intensity are reported. When peptide with AMPylated Ser/Thr
underwent collision induced dissociation (CID), peaks at m/z 348.1, 136.1, and 250.1, fragments with AMP group attached, and fragments consistent with neutral loss of 347 Da were major
characteristic ions; fragments consistent with neutral loss of 135 Da or 249 Da were weaker and not always detectable. The
observations for Tyr AMPylation followed the same general patterns as those for Ser/Thr modification, with the exception that
the ions detected for Tyr AMPylation did not include either the peak at m/z 348.1, or fragments with a mass shift of –347 Da. The results described in this paper highlight a series of diagnostic ions,
which can be used not only to confidently identify the AMPylation site based on MS and MS/MS data, but also to selectively
scan AMPylated peptides in complex protein mixtures. |
