Protein complexes are the functional machines in cell and heterogeneous due to protein sequence variations post-translational modifications (PTMs). Here, we present an automated nondenaturing capillary isoelectric focusing-mass spectrometry (ncIEF-MS) methodology for uncovering microheterogeneity of intact complexes. The method exhibited superior separation resolution than conventional native zone electrophoresis (nCZE-MS). In our study, ncIEF-MS achieved liquid-phase separations MS characterization seven different forms a streptavidin homotetramer with N-terminal methionine removal, acetylation, formylation four carbonic anhydrase-zinc complex arising from PTMs (succinimide, deamidation, etc.). addition, resolved states interchain cysteine-linked antibody-drug conjugate (ADC1) as new class anticancer therapeutic agents that bears distribution varied drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) species.

Imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) and ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) are two essential techniques that routinely used for charge variant analysis of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) during their development in quality control. These separate mAb variants based on different mechanisms IEX have been developed as front-end separation online mass spectrometry (MS) detection, which is robust intact protein identification. Recently, an innovative, coupled icIEF-MS technology has constructed our laboratory. In this study, strong cation exchange (SCX)-MS were optimized heterogeneity characterization a diverse mAbs results compared methodological validation. It was found outperformed SCX-MS study by demonstrating outstanding sensitivity, low carryover effect, accurate identification, higher resolution although contributed to throughput. Ultimately, integrating novel icIEF-HRMS with the more common can provide promising comprehensive strategy accelerating complex therapeutics.

Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has emerged as an essential technique for top-down proteomics (TDP), providing superior separation efficiency and high detection sensitivity proteoform analysis. Here, we aimed to further enhance the performance of CZE-MS/MS TDP via coupling online gas-phase fractionation using high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility (FAIMS). When compensation voltage (CV) FAIMS was changed from −50 30 V, median identified proteoforms increased less than 10 kDa about kDa, suggesting that can efficiently fractionate by their size. CZE-FAIMS-MS/MS boosted number identifications a yeast sample nearly 3-fold relative alone. It particularly benefited identification relatively large proteoforms, improving in range 20–45 6-fold compared gained 20-fold better signal-to-noise ratios randomly selected no FAIMS.

Abstract Top–down proteomics (TDP) identifies, quantifies, and characterises proteins at the intact proteoform level in complex biological samples to understand function cellular mechanisms. However, analysing using TDP is still challenging due high sample complexity wide dynamic range. High‐resolution separation methods are often applied prior mass spectrometry (MS) analysis decrease increase throughput. These methods, however, may not be efficient enough characterise low abundance proteoforms samples. As such, multidimensional techniques (combination of two or more with orthogonality) have been developed that demonstrate improved resolution comprehensive identification TDP. A suite couple various types liquid chromatography (LC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and/or gel electrophoresis‐based approaches analyse Here, we reviewed strategies employed for TDP, summarised current applications, discussed gaps addressed future.

ABSTRACT Native mass spectrometry (nMS) is a cutting‐edge technique that leverages electrospray ionization MS (ESI‐MS) to investigate large biomolecules and their complexes in solution. The goal of nMS retain the native structural features interactions analytes during transition gas phase, providing insights into natural conformations. In biopharmaceutical development, serves as powerful tool for analyzing complex protein heterogeneity, allowing examination non‐covalently bonded assemblies state closely resembles folded form. Herein, we present an imaged capillary isoelectric focusing–MS (icIEF–MS) workflow characterize cysteine‐linked antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) under conditions. Two ADCs were analyzed: latest generation ADC polatuzumab vedotin first FDA‐approved brentuximab vedotin. This benefits from recently developed icIEF system MS‐friendly capable directly coupling high‐sensitivity instrument. Results show separation influenced by both drug payloads post‐translational modifications (PTMs), which are then promptly identified MS. Overall, this icIEF–MS method demonstrates potential understand control critical quality attributes (CQAs) essential safe effective use ADCs.
