Tandem Mass Spectrometry

46.4K
In tandem mass spectrometry a biomolecule of interest is isolated from a biological sample, and then fragmented into multiple subunits in order to help elucidate its composition and sequence. This is accomplished by having mass spectrometers in series. The first spectrometer ionizes a sample and filter ions of a specific mass to charge ratio. Filtered ions are then fragmented and passed to a second mass spectrometer where the fragments are analyzed.
This video introduces the principles of...

Tandem Mass Spectrometry

2.3K
Tandem mass spectrometry is a technique that uses multiple mass analyzers in series to obtain a higher selectivity and reduce chemical noise during analyte detection. Instruments with multiple analyzers separated by an interaction cell enable secondary fragmentation and selected study of the fragment ions.Secondary fragmentations occur in the interaction cell and can be induced by various factors. Fragmentation induced by collision with inert gases, such as N2, Ar, He, etc., is called...

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics
  • Mass Spectrometry
  • Quantitative Biology

Background:

  • Stable isotope labeling is crucial for mass spectrometry-based protein quantification.
  • Tandem mass tagging (TMT) and SILAC are established methods for relative protein quantification.
  • Existing methods have limitations that necessitate alternative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel precursor-based quantification strategy: mass difference tandem mass tagging (mTMT).
  • To assess the utility of nonisobaric TMT variants (TMTzero and superheavy TMT) for quantitative proteomics.
  • To compare the performance of mTMT with standard SILAC labeling.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized TMTzero and superheavy TMT reagents, which differ by 11 mass units but coelute.
  • Applied the mTMT strategy for proteome profiling.
  • Conducted comparative analysis with standard SILAC labeling using SH-SY5Y and SVGp12 cell lines.

Main Results:

  • mTMT successfully quantified proteins and peptides, yielding results comparable to SILAC.
  • Fold-changes obtained via mTMT were highly correlated with those from SILAC workflows.
  • Demonstrated the coelution of peptides labeled with different TMT variants.

Conclusions:

  • mTMT is a robust and suitable alternative for precursor-based protein quantification.
  • The method offers a valuable addition to the toolkit for quantitative proteomics.
  • mTMT provides reliable quantitative data comparable to established techniques like SILAC.
