Profiling Protein-Protein Interactions in the Human Brain by Refined Cofractionation Mass Spectrometry.
Journal of Proteome Research 2024 March 21
Proteins usually execute their biological functions through interactions with other proteins and by forming macromolecular complexes, but global profiling of protein complexes directly from human tissue samples has been limited. In this study, we utilized cofractionation mass spectrometry (CF-MS) to map protein complexes within the postmortem human brain with experimental replicates. First, we used concatenated anion and cation Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEX) to separate native protein complexes in 192 fractions and then proceeded with Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry to analyze the proteins in each fraction, quantifying a total of 4,804 proteins with 3,260 overlapping in both replicates. We improved the DIA's quantitative accuracy by implementing a constant amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in each fraction as an internal standard. Next, advanced computational pipelines, which integrate both a database-based complex analysis and an unbiased protein-protein interaction (PPI) search, were applied to identify protein complexes and construct protein-protein interaction networks in the human brain. Our study led to the identification of 486 protein complexes and 10054 binary protein-protein interactions, which represents the first global profiling of human brain PPIs using CF-MS. Overall, this study offers a resource and tool for a wide range of human brain research, including the identification of disease-specific protein complexes in the future.
