Previous studies have shown the benefits of the amine-reactive, CID-MS/MS-cleavable cross-linker disuccinimidyl dibutyric urea (DSBU) for structural proteomics studies via cross-linking/MS (XL-MS). To further facilitate the automation of XL-MS experiments, we synthesized a deuterated (D12) version of the DSBU cross-linker combining the advantages of MS-cleavable linkers and isotope labeling. The rationale of conducting XL-MS with a mixture of unlabeled and stable isotope-labeled DSBU is to obtain characteristic mass differences at the MS level indicating cross-linked species. These cross-linked species can then be selected for fragmentation by collisional activation. At the MS/MS level, the characteristic 26-u doublets arising from cleavage of the central urea group in DSBU confirm the amino acid sequences of cross-linked peptides as well as the exact cross-linking sites. D12-labeled DSBU was tested on three systems with increasing complexity: (i) bovine serum albumin as purified protein, (ii) Escherichia coli ribosome as large, multimeric protein assembly, and (iii) Drosophila embryo extract as complete proteome. We demonstrate the benefits arising from the use of isotope-labeled DSBU for an automated assignment of cross-linked products. Combining isotope labeling and MS cleavability in one cross-linker resulted in higher cross-link identification numbers especially for highly complex protein mixtures.

D007553 Isotope Labeling Techniques for labeling a substance with a stable or radioactive isotope. It is not used for articles involving labeled substances unless the methods of labeling are substantively discussed. Tracers that may be labeled include chemical substances, cells, or microorganisms. Isotope Labeling, Stable,Isotope-Coded Affinity Tagging,Isotopically-Coded Affinity Tagging,Affinity Tagging, Isotope-Coded,Affinity Tagging, Isotopically-Coded,Isotope Coded Affinity Tagging,Labeling, Isotope,Labeling, Stable Isotope,Stable Isotope Labeling,Tagging, Isotope-Coded Affinity,Tagging, Isotopically-Coded Affinity
D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain). Conformation, Protein,Conformations, Protein,Protein Conformations
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein. Gene Products, Protein,Gene Proteins,Protein,Protein Gene Products,Proteins, Gene
D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D003903 Deuterium The stable isotope of hydrogen. It has one neutron and one proton in the nucleus. Deuterons,Hydrogen-2,Hydrogen 2
D013388 Succinimides A subclass of IMIDES with the general structure of pyrrolidinedione. They are prepared by the distillation of ammonium succinate. They are sweet-tasting compounds that are used as chemical intermediates and plant growth stimulants. Butanimides,Pyrrolidinediones
D014508 Urea A compound formed in the liver from ammonia produced by the deamination of amino acids. It is the principal end product of protein catabolism and constitutes about one half of the total urinary solids. Basodexan,Carbamide,Carmol
D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection. Mass Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry,Mass Spectrometry Mass Spectrometry,Mass Spectrometry, Tandem
