Presentation Transcript

  1. Computer Assisted Sequencing of Cyclic Peptides James E. Redman Keith M. Wilcoxen M. Reza Ghadiri

  2. Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptides • Head-to-tail D,L-cyclic peptides • Cationic & amphipathic  antimicrobials • Membrane active • Sequence dependence • Selectivity • Microbial vs. mammalian membranes • Library synthesis & screening • Construction of QSAR

  3. Peptide Synthesis

  4. Split-and-Pool Synthesis • Single bead - Single compound • Macrobead resins • 500 mm diameter • Dispense into plates & cleave peptide • Sufficient compound for biological testing

  5. Peptide Identification • Edman degredation • Requires N-terminus • Mass spectrometry • CID & MSn • Complicated CID spectra for cyclic peptides • Multiple ring opening sites

  6. Example • c[KWLWKS] • MS/MS of pure material

  7. Requirements • MS sequencing of cyclic peptides • No chemical encoding • Complicates synthesis • Contaminates products • Automated analysis of mass spectra • Cyclic peptide fragmentations • Library residue constraints • Software integration • Visualization • Archival

  8. Amino acids Sequence list Computed MS Parent Ion MS Compare & score Sequence shortlist Computed MSn Ranked sequences Compare & score Fragment MS Software Outline

  9. Calculation of Spectra • Calculation of CID spectra • Backbone fragmentations • Cleavage of amide bond • Loss of CO • Side chain losses • NH3 from Arg, Lys, Gln • H2O from Ser, Thr, Glu • MSn • Iterative filtering

  10. Uses raw data Predicted  Experimental Sum over j predicted peaks wj = scoring weight Ij= maximum experimental intensity Normalization “Critical analysis” Pairwise scoring Use unique peaks only Reveals potential ambiguities Scoring

  11. Limitations • Isobaric sequences • Retro sequences • Enantiomeric / diastereomeric sequences • Ile / Leu • Lys / Gln • Simplified calculations • Focus on commonly observed fragmentations • Approximations for side chain loss • Multiple charging for parent ion only

  12. User Interface • Server application • Compiled C++ library • No UI • Fully scriptable • Integrates with Windows applications • Excel interface • Visual Basic for Applications • Worksheet input/output • Custom menus

  13. Excel Interface • Sequence menu • Parent spectrum parameters • CID spectrum parameters • Library composition

  14. Validation • Test compounds • Known sequences • Purified compounds • Cyclic-D,L-hexapeptides • Cyclic-D,L-octapeptides • Hypothetical split & pool library • Mass spectra • Sonic spray ionization • Ion trap MS and MS/MS

  15. Cyclic Hexapeptides • 11 Pure compounds • c[KWLWKE], c[KWLWKF], c[KRWLWL] etc. • Hypothetical library (1.8  106 sequences) • Fixed Lys residue • 5 variable residues • 18 Possibilities • Omit Q, I • Manually optimized MS/MS

  16. Cyclic Hexapeptides • Software output • Shortlist - sequences with correct parent mass • Top scoring sequence • Sequence selected by “critical analysis” • Hundreds of sequences shortlisted • Allowing for Q/K and retro sequences... • Scoring rank • 10/11 peptides identified correctly • Critical analysis • 11/11 peptides identified correctly

  17. Cyclic Octapeptides • 30 Pure compounds • c[KHKHKWLW], c[KFQFKNWN], c[KAQAKAWA], c[KAQNKAWN] etc. • Hypothetical library (4.0  106 sequences) • Fixed K • 7 variable positions • Ala, Phe, His, Lys, Leu, Asn, Arg, Ser, Trp • Automated LCMS runs • CID of most intense ion in LC peak

  18. Cyclic Octapeptides • Thousands of sequences shortlisted • Scoring rank • 23/30 peptides identified correctly • Critical analysis • 22/30 peptides identified correctly • 11 cases where selected sequences differ • Only 5 where both are incorrect • Only 3 cases with incorrect residues

  19. Split & Pool Hexapeptides • Hexapeptides • c[KXXWLW] • X = Lys, His, Ser, Leu, Trp • 25 compounds • Split & pool synthesis on macrobeads • Randomly select 30 beads • Cleave peptide • Auto LCMS analysis • Assign sequence by inspection of spectra

  20. Split & Pool Hexapeptides • Program input • Amphipathic cyclic peptides • c[KXXZZZ] • X = Ala, Phe, Gly, His, LysLeu, Met, Asn, Arg, Ser, Thr, Val, Trp, Tyr • Z = Ala, Phe, Leu, Val, Trp • 24500 sequences • 28/30 sequences identical to the manual assignments

  21. Summary • Cyclic peptide MS sequencing software • Oriented towards split & pool library analysis • No requirement for chemical encoding • Automated • Integrates with other applications • Customizable processing
