Native Electron Capture Dissociation Maps to Iron-Binding Channels in Horse Spleen Ferritin.
Analytical Chemistry 2017 October 18
Native electron capture dissociation (NECD) is a process during which proteins undergo fragmentation similar to that from radical dissociation methods, but without the addition of exogenous electrons. However, after three initial reports of NECD from the cytochrome c dimer complex, no further evidence of the effect has been published. Here, we report NECD behavior from horse spleen ferritin, a ∼490 kDa protein complex ∼20-fold larger than the previously studied cytochrome c dimer. Application of front-end infrared excitation (FIRE) in conjunction with low- and high-m/z quadrupole isolation and collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) provides new insights into the NECD mechanism. Additionally, activation of the intact complex in either the electrospray droplet or the gas phase produced c-type fragment ions. Similar to the previously reported results on cytochrome c, these fragment ions form near residues known to interact with iron atoms in solution. By mapping the location of backbone cleavages associated with c-type ions onto the crystal structure, we are able to characterize two distinct iron binding channels that facilitate iron ion transport into the core of the complex. The resulting pathways are in good agreement with previously reported results for iron binding sites in mammalian ferritin.
