Abstract:
Iron is an essential nutrient for growth of photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and algae. Iron is required for proteins involved in the important processes of carbon and nitrogen assimilation. Low concentrations of iron in cultures or natural waters can lead to iron limitation which affects many aspects of algal metabolism. In natural waters, iron limitation can have effects on the patterns and rates of primary productivity. The cellular content of certain proteins can be affected by media iron concentrations. Methods have been used that assay components of the cell as an indirect measure of iron nutritional status. For example, spectroscopy can be performed to determine the cellular concentration of iron-containing proteins involved in photosynthesis. Organisms grown in media that imitate natural conditions, or organisms collected from their natural habitat are usually dilute. Methods that assay iron nutritional status such as spectroscopy and column chromatography require large sample sizes which are difficult to obtain from natural samples. In addition, methods that utilize techniques such as immunology or radioactive labelling are complex and time-consuming. These considerations led to the necessity of developing a technique that would be simple, rapid and effective on dilute samples. The method developed here utilized fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), which fulfilled these requirements. A complete analysis could be done within two to three hours with minimal sample treatment. The FPLC was simple to operate and was effective on a sample containing less than 100 μg of protein. Some photosynthetic organisms, when iron-depleted, can produce the flavin-containing protein flavodoxin (Flv). This protein substitutes for the iron-containing protein ferredoxin (Fd) in Fd-dependent reactions such as the light-induced reduction of NADP. The FPLC technique identified and quantified, in relative terms, Fd and Flv in the cell. Optical spectroscopy was used to verify FPLC retention time assignments. The results illustrated how the FPLC could be used to observe the changes in relative Fd and Flv content as a function of media iron concentration in cultures of the cyanobacterium Anabaena grown in the laboratory. It was found that Fd content decreased and Flv content increased with decreasing media iron concentration. In addition, samples of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium collected from the ocean near Barbados were analyzed using FPLC to assay relative Fd and Flv content. By analogy with Anabaena, Fd and Flv retention times were identified. Using this technique conclusions could be drawn regarding the changing iron nutritional status of Trichodesmium in its natural habitat .

Abstract:
Many pathogenic bacteria use their iron acquisition mechanisms to live inside hosts. Streptococcus pyogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that uses streptococcal iron acquisition ABC transporter to obtain heme. SiaA (HtsA, spy1795), a lipoprotein located on the cell surface, serves as a heme binding protein. To understand the iron-uptake mechanism, histidine 229, one of the two proposed axial ligands in SiaA, was mutated to alanine. SiaA H229A was expressed in E. coli, lysed by French Press, and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). SDS-PAGE indicated that pure protein was isolated. Nickel affinity FPLC gave purer H229A when 0.5 M imidazole was added to the binding buffer. Overall, histidine 229 is likely to be an axial ligand in wild type SiaA, as shown by the fact the mutant readily lost heme as evidenced by UV-vis spectra.

INTRODUÇÃO: Os polimorfismos do gene da proteína priônica (PRNP) podem estar associados a doenças neurológicas não priônicas. Estudos em pacientes com doença de Alzheimer (DA) apontam para possível associação entre os polimorfismos do códon 129 do PRNP e DA. Essa associação não foi estudada na população brasileira. Neste estudo, descrevemos a associação entre os diferentes polimorfismos do PRNP e DA. MÉTODOS: Foi estudada amostra composta por 100 pacientes com DA, acompanhados no Ambulatório de Neurologia Cognitiva e do Comportamento e no Centro de Referência em Distúrbios Cognitivos do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, pareados para grupo controle com 111 indivíduos, em relação à frequência dos diferentes polimorfismos do PRNP e o desempenho cognitivo. Os polimorfismos do PRNP foram estudados pelo método de cromotografia líquida de fase reversa desnaturante (DHPLC). Foi realizada extratificação da amostra pelo genótipo da apolipoproteína E (apoE). RESULTADOS: A frequência dos polimorfismos do códon 129 foi: 45,5% M/M, 42,4% M/V e 12,2% V/V nos pacientes com DA; e 39,6% M/M, 50,5% M/V e 9,9% V/V nos indivíduos controles (p=0,503). O códon 117 apresentou variante alélica silenciosa em 5% dos pacientes com DA e 3% dos controles (p=0,780). A deleção de um ocatapeptídeo repetido ocorreu em 5% dos pacientes com DA e 4% dos controles (p=0,738). Todos os pacientes com DA e os controles eram N171N. Uma paciente do grupo com DA apresentou a mutação V180I. A análise bivariada e regressão logística não mostraram associação entre os diferentes polimorfismos do códon 129 e o desempenho cognitivo nos pacientes com DA, assim como nos indivíduos cognitivamente normais. A extratificação segundo genótipo da apoE não revelou diferença em relação aos polimorfismos do códon 129 do PRNP entre os grupos DA e controles. CONCLUSÕES: Não houve diferença de frequência dos diferentes polimorfismos do códon 129 do PRNP entre os pacientes com DA e idosos cognitivamente normais, bem como em relação aos demais códons polimórficos do gene. Não houve diferença em relação ao desempenho cognitivo nos pacientes com DA e nos controles segundo o polimorfismo do códon 129 do PRNP. Um paciente apresentou mutação do códon 180 (V180I), e recebeu o diagnóstico de doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob genética
INTRODUCTION: The polymorphism in the prion protein gene (PRNP) may influence non prion neurological diseases. Some reports associate Alzheimers disease (AD) and the polymorphic codon 129 of the PRNP. This association has not been studied in Brazilian population. In this study we aimed to describe the association between the polymorphisms of codon 129 of the PRNP and AD. METHODS: One hundred AD patients were evaluated in the Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology Unit and Cognitive Disorders Reference Center of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo School of Medicine, matched for 111 controls, regarding to the PRNP polymorphism and cognitive measures. The PRNP polymorphisms were analyzed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). Analyzes stratifying by apoE genotype was performed. RESULTS: The distribution of the codon 129 polymorphisms were: 45.5% M/M, 42.4% M/V and 12.2% V/V in AD patients; 39.6% M/M, 50.5% M/V and 9.9% V/V in the control group (p=0.503). The 117 codon analysis revealed silent allelic variant in 5% of AD patients and 3% of controls (p=0.780). The octarepeat deletion occurred in 5% of AD and 4% of controls (p=0.738). All AD patients and controls were N171N. One AD patient had a point mutation at codon 180 (V180I). Logistic regression failed to confirm any association between AD cognitive performance and the codon 129 of PRNP, as well as in the control group. There was no association between the codon 129 genotypes and genotypes and AD according to the apoE stratification. CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in the frequency of the codon 129 polymorphism between AD. control group, according to the codon 129 polymorphisms. A point mutation at the codon 180 (V180I) was diagnosed in one patient

Abstract:
The lens of the eye needs to be completely transparent in order to allow all light entering the eye to reach the retina. This transparency is maintained by the highly ordered structure of the lens proteins the crystallins. Any disruption to the lens proteins can cause an opacity to develop which is known as cataract. During cortical cataract formation there is increased truncation of the lens crystallins. It is believed that overactivation of calcium-dependent cysteine proteases, the calpains, is responsible for the increased proteolysis of the crystallins seen during cataractogenesis. Within the ovine lens there are three calpains, calpain 1, 2 and the lens specific calpain Lp82. The aim of this thesis was to determine the changes in the lens proteins during ageing and cataractogenesis, and to establish the role of the calpains in these processes. Calpain 1 and 2 were purified from ovine lung and Lp82 was purified from lamb lenses using chromatography. Activity and presence of the calpains was determined by using the BODIPY-FL casein assay, gel electrophoresis, Western blot and casein zymography. Changes in the lens proteins, specifically the crystallins, were visualised using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). Lenses from fetal, 6 month old and 8 year old sheep were collected, as well as stage 0, 1, 3 and 6 cataractous ovine lenses. The proteins from the lenses were separated into the water soluble and urea soluble fractions and analysed by 2DE. Mass spectrometry was used to determine the masses and therefore modifications of the crystallins. Finally, the individual crystallins were separated using gel filtration chromatography and incubated with the purified calpains in the presence of calcium. The extent of the proteolysis was visualised using 2DE and truncation sites determined by mass spectrometry. Purification of the calpains resulted in samples that were specific for each calpain and could be used in further experiments. 2DE analysis showed that there were changes to the crystallins during maturation of the lens. The α-crystallins become increasingly phosphorylated as the lens ages and a small amount becomes truncated. The β-crystallins were also modified during ageing by truncation and deamidation. When crystallins from cataractous lenses were compared using 2DE there were changes to both the α- and β-crystallins. The α-crystallins were found to be extensively truncated at their C-terminal tail. Four of the seven β-crystallins, βB1, βB3, βB2 and βA3, showed increased truncation of their N-terminal extensions during cataract formation. All three calpains truncated αA and αB-crystallin at their C-terminal ends after incubation. Calpain 2 and Lp82 each produced unique αA-crystallin truncations. All three calpains truncated βB1 and βA3 and calpain 2 also truncated βB3. When the truncations from the calpain incubations were compared to those seen during cataract formation, many of the truncations were found to be similar. Both the unique truncations from calpain 2 and Lp82 were found in cataractous lenses, with the Lp82 more obvious in the 2DE. The β-crystallin truncations found after incubation with the calpains were similar to those found during cataractogenesis. In conclusion this study documents the changes to the ovine lens during maturation and cataractogenesis and indicates a role for the calpain family in the increased proteolysis observed in the ovine cataract.

Abstract:
The extraction, isolation and characterisation of a group of hitherto unreported protoporphyrin glycoconjugates in the rat Harderian gland using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), on-line HPLC/Electrospray ionisation MS (HPLC/ESI-MS) and tandem MS is described. The major glycoconjugate was identified as protoporphyrin-1-O-acyl -xyloside with a smaller amount of protoporphyrin-1-O-acyl -glucoside also detected. In the Harderian glands studied, 50-70% of the porphyrins present were in the form of protoporphyrin glycoconjugates. This is the first reported occurrence of glycoconjugates of porphyrins in nature and suggests that previous studies have wrongly identified the major porphyrin in the Harderian gland as the unconjugated protoporphyrin. The function of these glycoconjugates is not clear. The existence of protoporphyrin glycoconjugates in the urine, plasma and red blood cells (RBC) of a patient with erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) was also investigated. Protoporphyrin-1-O-acyl -xyloside was detected in EPP urine but not in plasma and RBC. The mechanism of formation of the protoporphyrin glycoconjugates was investigated. Incubations of protoporphyrin and its reduced form, protoporphyrinogen, were carried out with xylose, glucose and their uridine 5'-diphosphate derivatives in the presence and absence of uridine 5'-diphosphate glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT). Negative results were obtained. Incubation of uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDPGA) with protoporphyrin and UDPGT in Tris-HCl buffer, also yielded no products. Incubation of UDPGA with the Harderian gland homogenate in Tris-HCl buffer (pH7.4), however, resulted in an increase of 61.8% and 78.5% of protoporphyrin-1-O-acyl -xyloside and protoporphyrin-1-O-acyl -glucoside conjugates, respectively. This finding, along with an absence of glycoconjugates in incubations with liver homogenate would suggest the involvement of other enzymes which may be present in the Harderian gland. The reactivities of protoporphyrin and protoporphyrinogen towards amino acids, peptides and proteins were investigated. Protoporphyrin failed to react while protoporphyrinogen formed adducts with cysteine, glutathione, peptides and protein containing a free thiol group when incubated overnight at 37oC in the dark.

Abstract:
Tobacco has been studied as a host for producing recombinant therapeutic proteins on a large-scale, commercial basis. However, the proteins expressed in tobacco usually need to be purified to high yield and purity from large amounts of biomass in order for their production to be commercially viable. The methods needed to purify proteins from tobacco are very challenging and not well studied. The objective of this research was to develop a process for the purification of the acidic model protein, recombinant β-glucuronidase (rGUS), from transgenic tobacco leaf tissue to high yield and purity.

Polyelectrolyte precipitation with polyethyleneimine (PEI) was identified as an initial purification step for purifying acidic recombinant proteins from tobacco. Polyethyleneimine precipitation allowed for high recovery and concentration of the target protein while removing large amounts of impurities from the initial extract. At dosages of 700-800 mg PEI/g total protein, nearly 100% of the rGUS activity was precipitated with generally more than 90% recovered from the pellet. In addition, more than 60% of the native tobacco proteins were removed in the process, resulting in a purification factor near 4.

Recombinant GUS was further purified by a step of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) followed by a step of hydroxyapatite chromatography (HAC). The HIC step served to remove PEI and other contaminants such as nucleic acids that were accumulated during the precipitation step, while the HAC step served to separate rGUS from the remaining native tobacco proteins, most notably ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco). Nearly 40% of the initial rGUS activity was recovered as a near homogeneous fraction based on SDS-PAGE analysis after the three step process.

The main steps used in this process are anticipated to be scalable and do not rely on affinity separations, making the process potentially applicable to a wide variety of acidic recombinant proteins expressed in tobacco as well as other leafy crops.

Abstract:
Heart failure is a major public health issue, with its prevalence estimated to be 6.5 million adults in the USA. Of the hospitalized heart failure (HF) cases, 50% are characterized by preserved ejection function (HFpEF). In HFpEF, the heart pumps a normal proportion of blood that enters it. However, thickening of the ventricular walls inhibits the chamber filling to normal volume. The direct basis of HFpEF is a slowed elongation of the cardiac muscle during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Elucidation of mechanisms that mediate relaxation of cardiac muscle could help understand the pathogenic mechanisms in HFpEF. Myocardial contraction and relaxation are tightly controlled processes that involve thick and thin filament regulatory proteins. β-Adrenergic signaling pathway is a major regulator of myocardial contraction and relaxation via the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). Two key myofilament proteins, troponin I (TnI) and myosin binding protein-C (MyBPC), are phosphorylated by PKA following β-adrenergic stimulation. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the quantification of phosphorylation in TnI and MyBPC and measure the changes in the degree of phosphorylation in transverse-aortic constriction (TAC) mouse hearts, a model representing HFpEF, and sham (control) mouse hearts. The initial approach of the project was to develop a method for quantification of phosphopeptides using synthesized stable isotope labeled (SIL) peptides, both with and without phosphate modification. To accomplish this goal, a multiple reactions monitoring (MRM)-LC-MS method for the quantification of the synthesized SIL peptides was first developed. This method, using low picomole amounts, is applicable to researchers in the field using SIL peptides for quantification. However, when the SIL peptides were actually applied, we determined that there was a selective absorption of some phosphate peptides in the LC column, limiting the use of the SIL peptides for quantification. This result is also of general interest to others trying to identify phosphopeptides, not realizing that some peptides will go unmeasured. Thus, we returned to expanding an earlier method developed in our research group to quantify the degree of phosphorylation. Key to this work was the development of a quantification method directly from heart myofibrillar protein preparations without requiring isolation of individual proteins by gel electrophoresis. Using the LC-MS method developed, we quantified phosphorylation sites of TnI and MyBPC in the TAC and control mouse hearts. The phosphorylation measurements showed no significant difference in phosphorylation between the TAC and control mice, except for one site, S302 in MyBPC that had a 13% decrease in phosphorylation with TAC. We conclude that in our TAC model, PKA dysfunction may not play a role in the initial development of HFpEF.

Abstract:

Studies of protein and peptide expression are vital in order to understand complex biological systems. As demonstrated in this thesis, on-line packed capillary liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (LC-FTICR MS) is a useful analytical tool for such studies.

A proteomics method, based on global tryptic digestion and subsequent separation and detection of the peptides by LC-FTICR MS, was developed for qualitative analysis of body fluids. Initial experiments on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provided results that were comparable or superior to those achieved by more time- and sample-consuming techniques. The method was also successfully applied on plasma and amniotic fluid. One of the major challenges in proteomics is the broad dynamic range of proteins in biological matrices. The advantages of removing high-abundant components from CSF and plasma prior to MS were demonstrated.

In order to search for potential biomarkers, mass chromatograms of CSF from patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and controls were compared using an in-house constructed pattern recognition program. ALS-specific patterns were observed, and four out of five unknown samples were correctly assigned. Alternative strategies to quantitatively compare two pools of samples rely on differential chemical labeling. The performance of one such method, quantification-using-enhanced-signal-tags, was investigated in complex sample analysis. The experimental intensity ratios were proven to be consistent with the prepared concentration ratios of abundant proteins in CSF.

Finally, the thesis reports on the first experiments where electron capture dissociation (ECD) was successfully incorporated in on-line LC-MS experiments. ECD and nozzle-skimmer fragmentation were applied to a sample of endocrine peptides extracted from mouse pancreatic islets. The two fragmentation methods provided complementary information. However, the method needs further optimization before it can be applied in the analysis of more complex samples, such as body fluids.

Tuberculosis is a serious disease, but curable in practically 100% of new cases, since complied the principles of modern chemotherapy. Isoniazid (ISN), Rifampicin (RIF), Pyrazinamide (PYR) and Chloride Ethambutol (ETA) are considered first line drugs in the treatment of tuberculosis, by combining the highest level of efficiency with acceptable degree of toxicity. Concerning USP 33 - NF28 (2010) the chromatography analysis to 3 of 4 drugs (ISN, PYR and RIF) last in average 15 minutes and 10 minutes more to obtain the 4th drug (ETA) using a column and mobile phase mixture different, becoming its industrial application unfavorable. Thus, many studies have being carried out to minimize this problem. An alternative would use the UFLC, which is based with the same principles of HPLC, however it uses stationary phases with particles smaller than 2 ?m. Therefore, this study goals to develop and validate new analytical methods to determine simultaneously the drugs by HPLC/DAD and UFLC/DAD. For this, a analytical screening was carried out, which verified that is necessary a gradient of mobile phase system A (acetate buffer:methanol 94:6 v/v) and B (acetate buffer:acetonitrile 55:45 v/v). Furthermore, to the development and optimization of the method in HPLC and UFLC, with achievement of the values of system suitability into the criteria limits required for both techniques, the validations have began. Standard solutions and tablets test solutions were prepared and injected into HPLC and UFLC, containing 0.008 mg/mL ISN, 0.043 mg/mL PYR, 0.030 mg.mL-1 ETA and 0.016 mg/mL RIF. The validation of analytical methods for HPLC and UFLC was carried out with the determination of specificity/selectivity, analytical curve, linearity, precision, limits of detection and quantification, accuracy and robustness. The methods were adequate for determination of 4 drugs separately without interfered with the others. Precise, due to the fact of the methods demonstrated since with the days variation, besides the repeatability, the values were into the level required by the regular agency. Linear (R> 0,99), once the methods were capable to demonstrate results directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte sample, within of specified range. Accurate, once the methods were capable to present values of variation coefficient and recovery percentage into the required limits (98 to 102%). The methods showed LOD and LOQ very low showing the high sensitivity of the methods for the four drugs. The robustness of the methods were evaluate, facing the temperature and flow changes, where they showed robustness just with the preview conditions established of temperature and flow, abrupt changes may influence with the results of methods

De acordo com USP 33 - NF28 (2010) as an?lises cromatogr?ficas para 3 dos 4 f?rmacos (isoniazida, pirazinamida e rifampicina) duram em m?dia 15 minutos e mais 10 minutos para a obten??o do 4? f?rmaco (etambutol) utilizando outra coluna, com outra mistura de fase m?vel, tornando esta aplica??o na pr?tica industrial desfavor?vel. Uma das alternativas ? utilizar o CLUE, o qual baseia-se nos mesmos princ?pios da CLAE, por?m utiliza fases estacion?rias com part?culas menores que 2 ?m. Dessa forma pretende-se com o presente estudo desenvolver e validar novos m?todos anal?ticos para determina??o simult?nea de tuberculost?ticos por CLAE/DAD e CLUE/DAD. Para isto, foi realizado um screening anal?tico, o qual verificou que ? necess?rio um gradiente de sistema de fase m?vel A (tamp?o acetato:metanol 94:6 v/v) e B (tamp?o acetato:acetonitrila 55:45 v/v). Posteriormente, ao desenvolvimento e otimiza??o do m?todo em CLAE e CLUE com a obten??o dos valores de adequabilidade do sistema dentro dos limites de aceita??es vigente para ambos as t?cnicas, as valida??es deram-se in?cio. Solu??es padr?es e solu??es testes dos comprimidos foram preparadas e injetadas no CLAE e CLUE, contendo isoniazida, pirazinamida, etambutol e rifampicina nas concentra??es de 0,008, 0,043, 0,030 e 0,016 mg.mL-1, respectivamente. A valida??o dos m?todos anal?ticos foram realizadas para: especificidade / seletividade, intervalos da curva anal?tica, linearidade, limite de detec??o, limite de quantifica??o, exatid?o, precis?o (repetibilidade, precis?o intermedi?ria) e robustez. Os m?todos foram adequados para determina??o dos 4 f?rmacos separadamente sem interfer?ncia nos demais.

Abstract:
Perlcellulose stellt ein interessantes Material für den Einsatz in der wässrigen Größenausschlusschromatgraphie (SEC) dar. Sie ist aufgrund ihrer guten Modifizierbarkeit zudem ein perfektes Ausgangsmaterial für Protein-Aggregationsuntersuchungen. Ein Protein von besonderem praktischem Interesse ist Insulin. Dessen Fehlfaltung und Aggregation verursacht eine Reihe von schwerwiegenden Problemen (z.B. in Drug-Delivery-Systemen). Hierbei erfolgt eine Umwandlung von alpha-Helix- in beta-Faltblatt-Strukturen wobei sich unlösliche Fibrillen bilden. Deren Rückfaltung mit Hilfe fluorierter Alkohole sowie mit fluorierten Nanopartikeln wurde in der Literatur beschrieben. Der Ansatzpunkt dieser Arbeit war es zu untersuchen, ob Fluor auf Oberflächen mit hohem Anteil von Hydroxygruppen eine Rückfaltung von Proteinen wie Insulin bewirken kann. Das Ziel war es, schaltbare stationäre Phasen zu erhalten, mit denen sowohl eine Rückfaltung als auch die Trennung von Proteinen durchgeführt werden können. Zunächst erfolgte die Charakterisierung geeigneter Perlcellulosen, wobei erstmals eine Kombination der „klassischen“ Porosimetrie (Hg-Intrusion, N2-Sorption) mit SAXS und Inverser SEC zur Untersuchung der Porenstruktur von Cellulose angewandt wurde. Es konnte die reversible Schrumpfung der Poren während der Trockungsprozesse beschrieben werden. Die Immobilisierung von Fluor auf der Oberfläche von Cellulosepartikeln erfolgte u.a. durch Pfropfung von fluorierten Acrylaten mittels Cer(IV)-Redoxinitiierung. Es gelang eine homopolymerfreie Pfropfung, wobei es zu keiner Veränderung der Porenstruktur kam. Die Kontrolle der Proteinadsorption auf der modifizierten Oberfläche mittels chemischer Stimuli konnte beschrieben werden. Aggregationsuntersuchungen mittels SEC, DLS und SAXS ergaben, dass fluormodifizierte Perlcellulose keine Verzögerung der Insulinaggregation bewirkt. Jedoch zeigte sich, dass unmodifizierte Perlcellulose eine signifikante Verzögerung der Aggregation bewirken kann.
Porous bead cellulose is an interesting material for the application in aqueous size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Its good modifiability makes it furthermore to a perfect starting material for protein aggregation studies. A protein with huge practical importance is insulin. Misfolding and aggregation of insulin creates serious problems e.g. in drug delivery systems. Thereby it undergoes a change from alpha-helix to beta-sheet structure and forms insoluble fibrils. A back-folding with (toxic) fluorinated alcohols and fluorinated nanoparticles was already shown in literature. The approach for this work was that fluorine (CF3-) on a surface with high hydroxyl-content can induce the back folding of proteins like insulin. The purpose was to get stationary phases that can induce back folding and separation of proteins on a single column. At first a characterization of suitable cellulose beads with focus on different porosimetry methods was done. For the first time a combination of “classical” porosimetry methods (Hg-Intrusion; N2-Sorption) with SAXS and inverse SEC was applied for porous cellulose particles. A reversible shrinking of pores during drying process was shown. Immobilization of fluorine on the surface of cellulose beads was done by grafting of fluorinated acrylates via cer(IV)-redox-initiation and by polymer analogous reaction with fluorinated iodo alkanes. Homopolymer free graft-copolymerization was achieved, whereas no effect on pore structure was observed. The control of protein adsorption on surface by chemical stimuli was shown. Aggregation studies using SEC, DLS and SAXS showed that fluoro-modified cellulose beads do not delay insulin-aggregation due to strong adsorption effects. Though a significant aggregation delay for insulin with unmodified cellulose beads was discovered.

Abstract:
Fundulus is a diverse and widespread genus of small teleost fish of North America. Due to its high tolerance for physiochemical variation (e.g. temperature, oxygen, salinity), Fundulus is a model organism to study physiological and molecular adaptations to environmental stress. The thesis focuses on patterns of protein expression in Fundulus heteroclitus and F. grandis.The patterns of protein expression were investigated using traditional methods of enzyme activity measurements and recent proteomic approaches. The findings of the study can be used to guide future studies on the proteomic responses of vertebrates to environmental stress. Chapter 2 focuses on measurement of the temporal effects of oxygen treatments on the maximal specific activities of nine glycolytic enzymes in liver and skeletal muscle during chronic exposure (28d) of Fundulus heteroclitus. The fish was exposed to four different oxygen treatments: hyperoxia, normoxia, moderate hypoxia, and severe hypoxia. The time course of changes in maximal glycolytic enzyme specific activities was assessed at 0, 8, 14 and 28 d. The results demonstrate that chronic hypoxia alters the capacity for carbohydrate metabolism in F. heteroclitus, with the important observation that the responses are both tissue- and enzyme-specific. Chapter 3 studies the effect of tissue storage on protein profile of tissues of F. grandis. The technique of one dimensional gel electrophoresis (1D-SDS-PAGE) was used to assess the effects of tissue sampling, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen versus immersion of fresh tissue in RNA later, for five tissues, liver, skeletal muscle, brain, gill, and heart, followed by LC-MS/MS to identify protein bands that were differentially stabilized in gill and liver. The study shows that, in F. grandis, the preferred method of preservation was tissue specific. xi Chapter 4 focuses on the use of advanced 2DE-MS/MS to characterize the proteome of multiple tissues in F. grandis. Database searching resulted in the identification of 253 non-redundant proteins in five tissues: liver, muscle, brain, gill, and heart. Identifications include enzymes of energy metabolism, heat shock proteins, and structural proteins. The protein identification rate was approximately 50 % of the protein spots analyzed. This identification rate for a species without a sequenced genome demonstrates the utility of F. grandis as a model organism for environmental proteomic studies in vertebrates.

Abstract:
La glycosylation est l’addition de glycanes sur une protéine, appelée alors glycoprotéine. C'est l'une des modifications post-traductionnelles les plus courantes et elle a un impact sur l'activité et la stabilité de la protéine. L’hormone chorionique gonadotrope humaine (hCG), appelée communément hormone de grossesse, est une protéine hautement glycosylée, composée de deux sous-unités, hCGα et hCGβ, ayant au total quatre sites de N- et quatre sites de O-glycosylation, conduisant à un nombre très élevé de glycoformes. Or, l’état de glycosylation de cette hormone essentielle de la grossesse a été associé à certaines pathologies de celle-ci. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire de pouvoir analyser les glycoformes de la hCG présentes dans des échantillons biologiques. Dans ces travaux, de nouvelles méthodes ont été développées pour l'analyse à l’échelle intacte des glycoformes de la hCG par nanochromatographie en phase liquide (nanoLC) couplée à la spectrométrie de masse (MS). Le format miniaturisé de la séparation a permis une augmentation de la sensibilité de la méthode et son couplage avec un analyseur de haute précision et haute résolution en masse, un Orbitrap, a permis de détecter et de semi-quantifier plusieurs glycoformes de la sous-unité α dans des médicaments à base de hCG, mais aussi d’une autre gonadotrophine partageant la même sous-unité α, l'hormone folliculo-stimulante (FSH). L’optimisation d'une étape de préconcentration en amont de la nanoLC-MS et du gradient de phase mobile et de sa nature ont permis ensuite de détecter des glycoformes de la hCGβ pour la première fois et d'un plus grand nombre de glycoformes de la hCGα. Puis, cette méthode analytique utilisant soit de l'acide formique soit de l'acide trifluoroacétique comme additif de la phase mobile a été évaluée pour la détection des glycoformes des sous-unités α et β de différents médicaments à base de gonadotrophines d’origine recombinante ou urinaire. Enfin, dans le but de déterminer les glycoformes de la hCG dans le sérum de femmes enceintes, c'est-à-dire dans des échantillons biologiques complexes plutôt que dans des médicaments concentrés et relativement purs à base de gonadotrophines, il a été nécessaire de développer une étape d'extraction sélective des glycoformes de la hCG avant leur analyse par nanoLC-MS. Ainsi, des immunoadsorbants ont été synthétisés en immobilisant deux anticorps anti-hCG différents sur un support solide. Les premières expériences d'immunoextraction de la hCG ont donné des résultats prometteurs
Glycosylation is the attachment of glycans to a protein, so-called a glycoprotein. It is one of the most common post-translational modifications and it impacts protein activity and stability. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a highly glycosylated protein, composed of two subunits, hCGα and hCGβ, having in total four N- and four O-glycosylation sites, leading to a very high number of glycoforms. However, the glycosylation state of this hormone essential for pregnancy was associated with some pregnancy pathologies. For this reason, it is necessary to be able to analyze the hCG glycoforms present in biological samples. In this work, new analytical methods for the analysis at the intact level of hCG glycoforms by nano liquid chromatography (nanoLC) hyphenated with mass spectrometry (MS) were developed. The miniaturization of the separation allowed an increase in sensitivity and its coupling with a high mass accuracy and high mass resolution analyzer, an Orbitrap, allowed the detection and semi-quantification of several α-subunit glycoforms in hCG-based drugs, but also of another gonadotropin sharing the same α-subunit, the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The optimization of both a preconcentration step in the nanoLC-MS set-up and of the mobile phase gradient and nature allowed the detection of hCGβ glycoforms for the first time and also of a higher number of hCGα glycoforms. Next this analytical method using either formic acid or trifluoroacetic acid as mobile phase additive was evaluated for the detection of the α- and β-subunits of different recombinant or urinary gonadotropin-based drugs. Finally, with the aim to determine hCG glycoforms in serum of pregnant women, i.e complex biological samples, rather than in concentrated and fairly pure gonadotropin-based drugs, it was necessary to develop a selective extraction step of hCG glycoforms before their analysis in nanoLC-MS. This is why, immunosorbents were synthesized by immobilizing two different anti-hCG antibodies on a solid sorbent. The primary experiments of hCG immunoextraction showed promising results

Abstract:
The study of pharmaceutical preformulation includes the evaluation of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and physicochemical properties of the drug molecules that aid the formulation. However, it has a limited role in determining drug dosage optimisation in the formulation. The study of drug-Plasma Protein Binding (PPB), and the lipophilicity, solubility, and ionic behaviours of the desired drug molecules addresses the gap and enhances our undertraining related to the behaviour of the drug molecules in the body. The High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technique was used in the current study to assess drug-PPB interaction. Using Michael Abraham’s ‘Linear Free Energy Relationship’ (LFER) method, two major plasma proteins namely, Human Serum Albumin as HSA and α-1-Acid Glycoprotein as AGP, were used and the structural properties governing drug-plasma protein binding was determined. This is the first time that the effect of ionised species on PPB has been quantitatively evaluated. In addition, the molecular interactions also play a key role in the supramolecular complexes of co-crystals. The project also evaluated the co-crystallisation process and its effect on physicochemical properties of the drug. In the current study, amino acids (AAs) have been observed to be a prominent source of coformers. The AAs showed co-crystals formation with carboxylic acids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and citric acid which overcome the hygroscopicity problems and improved the physical stability issues during storage. This study has also identified a new formulation which is helpful for improvement in the stability of effervescent tablets at various relative humidity (RH) conditions which will reduce the manufacturing cost associated with the production of effervescent tablets.

Abstract:
Le travail présenté ici s'est penché sur les problèmes rencontrés sur ce type d'études protéomiques, et sur les solutions qui peuvent être explorées pour améliorer le débit d'évaluation des candidats biomarqueurs. Les peptides à méthionine sont généralement évités en raison de leur sensibilité à l'oxydation. Cependant, il semblait intéressant d'étudier leur modification endogène pouvant affecter les processus biologiques. Une première évaluation de l'impact de l'oxydation des apolipoproteins dans le cas de la maladie d'Alzheimer, a permis de mettre de côté ce biomarqueur potentiel, et de faire apparaître un certain nombre de problèmes liés au prélèvement et au stockage des échantillons biologiques. L'évaluation de dispositifs DBS (Dried Blood Spot) et Vivid à partir d'un panel de 32 protéines sanguines a permis de fournir une première solution envisageable pour maîtriser ces problèmes. Par la suite, un nouveau mode de quantification des peptides appelé MRM3 a été utilisé pour dépasser la complexité de la matrice biologique, et fournir une évaluation fiable des niveaux de concentration de 2 protéines plasmatiques, la C-Reactive protein et la TIMP-1, ainsi que 2 protéines urinaires, l'aquaporin-2 et la podocin. Pour améliorer la sensibilité d'analyse et réduire les coûts de solvants nécessaires aux analyses, l'évaluation d'une plate-forme de micro-chromatographie a été réalisée par comparaison à une plate-forme narrow-bore. Cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence l'impact important de l'effet matrice sur le processus analytique, nécessitant de développer de nouvelles stratégies de travail. Enfin, afin de réduire la complexité de l'échantillon, l'évaluation de cartouches d'extraction en phase solide à base de large taille de pores a été réalisé, et un protocole développé a permis d'analyser avec succès des enzymes contenus dans un échantillon de lessive commerciale. De plus, la durée nécessaire à la préparation d'échantillons biologiques a pu être fortement réduite en combinant une digestion rapide assistée par température combinée au dessalage en ligne, afin de permettre l'analyse quantitative des protéines qu'il contient seulement quelques heures après son arrivée au laboratoire
Over the past decade, interest in the use of biomarkers in clinical studies has greatly increased. Quantification of a candidate protein biomarker in complex samples (eg. plasma) requires targeted and multiplexed assays. Immunoassays are the gold standard for their quantification. However, with the need for targeted and multiplexed methods, recent developments in mass spectrometry (MS) make a viable alternative to ELISA. The present work has addressed the problems encountered in this type of proteomic studies, and solutions that can be explored to improve the workflow of candidate biomarker’s evaluation. Methionine peptides are generally avoided due to their susceptibility to oxidation. However, it seemed interesting to study how their endogenous modifications could affect biological processes. In a first time, apolipoproteins were dismissed as a potential biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease due to oxidation impact. In the same time, problems associated with biological sample collection and storage were highlighted. DBS (Dried Blood Spot) and Vivid device evaluation from a panel of 32 blood proteins has provided a first possible solution to overcome these troubles. Thereafter, a new peptide quantification method called MRM3 was used to overcome biological matrix complexity. Reliable level determinations of 2 plasma proteins (C-Reactive protein and TIMP-1) and 2 urinary proteins (aquaporin-2 and podocin) were obtained. To improve sensitivity and reduce analysis solvent costs, performances of a micro chromatography platform were compared to a narrow-bore platform. This study highlighted the significant impact of the matrix effect on the analytical process, requiring new strategie development. Finally, to reduce sample complexity, evaluation of wide pore solid-phase extraction cartridges has been achieved. A protocol was successfully developed to analyze enzymes contained in commercial laundry samples. Finally to optimize biological sample preparation time, heated-assisted digestion and online desalting step were successfully associated. Only few hours were then required for quantitative analysis

Note:
Clinical chemistry is a medical discipline whose aim is to diagnose and assess disease by analysis of biological specimens. Modem laboratories can perform several hundred different tests using many different methods developed over the last century. The classical, more traditional assays are typically labour-intensive, not multiplexed (only measure one analyte or disorder per assay), expensive, require a long turnaround time, and may not provide adequate sensitivity and specificity. Developments in mass spectrometry (MS) and related technologies over the last two decades have provided solutions for many if not all of these shortcomings. While MS based applications have not yet been widely implemented in clinical chemistry laboratories, current developments will encourage the replacement of traditional methods as well as the expansion of clinically diagnostic endpoints. Indeed, modem MS can be used to simultaneously analyze and quantitate multiple biomarkers in a single analysis. Currently, no other technique exists that can provide a comparable multiplexed analysis. In this thesis, current MS and related technologies were developed and applied to several important but distinct clinical chemistry applications. [...]

Abstract:
Wheat bran is a promising material containing a wide range of useful components, including proteins. In addition, it is produced in significant volumes. Currently, wheat bran is used for the production of energy by combustion and for feed purposes. Gradually, new methods of valorization of this material are being sought. One of the possibilities of using wheat bran is the isolation of proteins, hydrolysis, and separation of selected amino acids. This diploma thesis deals with this issue, it is focused on the recovery of arginine and leucine from a protein isolate. Proteins were extracted from wheat bran by changing the pH. Thanks to the subsequent lyophilization a protein isolate was gained. Prior to hydrolysis of the resulting isolate, a stability test of arginine and leucine amino acid standards was first performed, to which various hydrolysis methods were applied. Acid hydrolysis using a mineralizer, which was applied to the protein isolate, was proved to be the most effective. This was followed by the derivatization of the hydrolysates with OPA and analysis of the resulting hydrolysates by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-VIS detection. Then, suitable adsorption and desorption conditions were optimized. It was found that the time dependence does not affect the amount of adsorbed material on the sorbent. Therefore, an application time of 15 minutes was chosen. While optimizing the amount of used standard, it was found that the optimal weight was 0.25 g of sorbent. The selected conditions were applied to the protein hydrolyzate. Two fractions were obtained by the separation of selected amino acids due to the change in the pH of the citrate buffer. After the application of this procedure, 0.26 g of arginine and 0.82 g of leucine were obtained from one kilogram after evaporation. From evaporation two, 1.01 g of arginine and 0.25 g of leucine were obtained after evaporation.

A proteína A de superfície de pneumococo (PspA) é indispensável para a virulência da bactéria e foi escolhida para a elaboração de uma nova vacina conjugada contra S. pneumoniae. Para tanto foi desenvolvido um processo industrial de produção e purificação do fragmento recombinante da PspA clado 3 em E. coli. Cultivos descontínuos alimentados foram estabelecidos com glicose ou glicerol em reator de 5L, obtendo-se 62g/L de células secas e 3g/L de PspA3. As células foram lisadas por homogeneizador contínuo de alta pressão com eficiência de 96,7%. A centrifugação foi definida como etapa de clarificação. A sequência cromatográfica troca aniônica seguida de afinidade por Ni+2 rendeu os melhores resultados de pureza (81%) e recuperação (70%). A cromatografia de troca catiônica foi selecionada como terceira etapa do processo, definindo assim um processo de produção e purificação escalonável que possibilitou a obtenção de PspA3 com alto grau de pureza (90%).
The pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is indispensable for virulence of S. pneumoniae and it was the first choice as carrier for a new conjugated vaccine against S.pneumoniae. Hence, the purpose of this work was to develop an industrial production and purification process of a recombinant fragment PspA clade 3 (rfPspA3) in E. coli. Fed-batch cultivations in 5 L bioreactors with defined medium were carried out using glucose or glycerol as carbon sources. It was obtained 62 g/L of dry cell weight and 3 g/L of rfPspA3. Cells were disrupted with 96.7% of efficiency by high pressure continuous homogenizer. Centrifugation was defined for the clarification step. The sequence with Q- followed by IMAC-Sepharose yielded the best purity and recovery of rfPspA3 (81 and 70%, respectively). Cation exchange was chosen for the last chromatography. In conclusion, an industrial production and purification process was developed and rfPspA3 was obtained with high purity (90%).

Abstract:
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for 80% of all lung cancer cases, is associated with resistance to chemotherapy and poor prognosis. Exploitation of NSCLC-upregulated pathways that can either be targeted by novel therapeutics or used to improve the tumour-delivery of current chemotherapeutics are required. Among the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that are essential for tumour development, MMP10 is a potential candidate as a therapeutic target based on its expression and contribution to NSCLC development. This research aims to explore the expression and functions of MMP10 in the tumour microenvironment of NSCLC and evaluate the potential of MMP10 as a target for therapeutic intervention. Herein, MMP10 expression at gene and protein levels were analysed in a panel of NSCLC cell lines using RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. To determine MMP10 functional relevance, an in vitro angiogenesis assay using cell conditioned media was carried out. To identify specific peptide sequences for the design of prodrugs rationalised to be MMP10 activated, in vitro substrate cleavage studies were performed using a mass spectrometry approach to differentiate between MMP10 and the structurally similar MMP3. This study demonstrates that MMP10 is highly expressed in NSCLC and that high levels of MMP10 are associated with induction of angiogenesis, a crucial process supporting tumour growth. In addition to the achievement of having been able to differentiate between closely similar MMP3 and MMP10 through carefully monitoring the hydrolysis rate of compound 444259 (a known MMP substrate), data generated herein provides the basis for further studies to exploit MMP10 as a prodrug-activator.

Abstract:
En recherche clinique ou environnementale, les biomarqueurs protéiques présentent un intérêt croissant. Bien que les immuno-dosages restent les méthodes de référence pour leur quantification, les récentes avancées en spectrométrie de masse (MS) font de cette technique une alternative crédible à l'ELISA. Ce travail apporte quelques éléments méthodologiques pour repousser certaines limitations de la MS. D'abord, deux dosages ont été proposés. Celui réalisé chez G. fossarum représente le premier exemple de dosage de la Vitellogénine chez un invertébré par LC-MS/MS. L'un des défis de la méthode présentée est de doser spécifiquement une protéine dans un organisme dont le génome est majoritairement inconnu. Le second dosage concerne les peptides contenant une méthionine. Nous avons développé un protocole d'oxydation des méthionines afin de s'affranchir du biais lié à leur oxydation partielle. Cette méthode a ensuite été appliquée à une protéine impliquée dans la maladie d'Alzheimer (l'Apolipoprotéine E4) dans une cohorte de 673 plasmas. Ce dosage est à ce jour l'une des plus grandes études réalisées par LC-MS/MS et montre toute la robustesse de cette approche. Enfin, l'influence de la phase mobile sur la sensibilité des dosages de peptides a été étudiée : d'abord en phase inverse, où le méthanol est une bonne alternative à l'acétonitrile ; ensuite en HILIC, où les difficultés liées à l'étude d'ions multichargés en milieu majoritairement organique ont été abordées. Les problèmes liés à la capacité de charge des colonnes ont également été soulevés. La chromatographie HILIC reste prometteuse pour la quantification de peptides puisqu'un facteur dix en sensibilité peut être apporté.

Neste trabalho foi transfectada uma linhagem de células embrionárias de rim humano (HEK293) com os genes das subunidades α e β da tireotrofina humana (hTSH), hormônio glicoproteico secretado pela hipófise. Após 5 dias de cultivo obteve-se uma concentração de hTSH no meio condicionado de 0,95μg/mL. O material foi concentrado e purificado utilizando uma estratégia envolvendo duas etapas, uma cromatografia de troca catiônica e uma cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (HPLC) de fase reversa, que permitiu uma recuperação de 55% e uma pureza >90%. O produto purificado (hTSH-HEK) foi analisado e comparado a uma preparação comercial obtida em células CHO (hTSH-CHO) e a uma preparação hipofisária (hTSH-Pit). A identidade e a pureza do hTSH-HEK foram avaliadas por métodos físicoquímicos e imunológico (espectrometria de massa MALDI-TOF, HPLC de exclusão molecular e de fase reversa, SDS-PAGE e ensaio imunoradiométrico). A porção glicídica do hTSH-HEK foi avaliada pela análise do perfil dos N-glicanos e o comportamento biológico deste hormônio foi avaliado por bioensaio in vivo e estudo farmacocinético. As 3 preparações apresentaram pureza equivalente (97%) e a massa molecular relativa do hTSH-HEK foi 2,1% menor do que a do hTSH-CHO e 2,7% maior do que a do hTSH-Pit. A maior hidrofobicidade relativa, avaliada por RP-HPLC, foi a do hTSH-HEK. Os N-glicanos identificados no hTSH-HEK foram do tipo complexo, apresentando predominantemente estruturas tri-antenárias, enquanto no hTSH-CHO e no hTSH-Pit as estruturas bi-antenárias foram predominantes. Foram detectadas diferenças significativas relacionadas à composição dos carboidratos para estas preparações, um teor muito menor de ácido siálico e muito maior de fucose foram observados no hTSHHEK. Foi confirmada a atividade biológica das 3 preparações, sendo a bioatividade do hTSHHEK 39% e 16% inferior à do hTSH-CHO e hTSH-Pit, respectivamente. A meia-vida circulatória do hTSH-HEK foi menor (1,5 X) que a do hTSH-CHO e a do hTSH-Pit (1,2 X). De acordo com esses resultados o hTSH-HEK pode ser considerado uma alternativa viável para aplicações clínicas especialmente por sua origem humana e composição de carboidratos.

Abstract:
L’analyse de protéines est principalement réalisée selon l’approche bottom-up qui consiste en une digestion enzymatique et l’analyse des peptides obtenus en chromatographie en phase liquide couplée à la spectrométrie de masse en tandem. L’étape de digestion, réalisée en solution, est une procédure longue. L’utilisation de réacteurs à base d’enzymes immobilisées (IMER) ainsi que leur intégration en ligne avec la LC-MS/MS améliore la fiabilité et la sensibilité de la méthode globale. Le premier objectif de cette thèse a été d’évaluer le potentiel des IMER pour la caractérisation de la glycosylation. La complémentarité d’IMER de pepsine et de trypsine, développés en format classique par greffage sur support de Sepharose, a permis d’identifier les N-glycanes sur les 4 sites de glycosylation d’une hormone de grossesse contenue dans 2 médicaments. Le second objectif était la miniaturisation de ces outils. Des monolithes obtenus par voie sol-gel ou par polymérisation radicalaires ont été synthétisés in situ dans des capillaires de 100 µm de diamètre interne. La meilleure répétabilité de synthèse de la voie radicalaire a conduit à la sélection des supports obtenus par cette voie pour leur greffage par de la trypsine ou de la pepsine. Un montage miniaturisé pour l’analyse de digestats a été aussi réalisé. Cela permettra l’inclusion postérieure de l’IMER dans le dispositif analytique
Protein analysis is mainly carried out using the "bottom-up" approach which is based on enzymatic digestion of proteins and analysis of resulting peptides by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Usually, enzymatic digestion is carried out in solution. However, this procedure is long. The use of immobilised enzyme reactors (IMER) and their hyphenation with LC-MS/MS increases the reliability and sensitivity of the overall method. The study conducted during this thesis had two distinct objectives. The first was to evaluate the potential of IMERs for glycosylation characterisation. The complementarity of IMERs of pepsin and trypsin, developed in classical format by grafting the proteases on a Sepharose support, allowed to identify the N-glycans on the 4 glycosylation sites a pregnancy hormone contained in 2 drugs. The second objective was the miniaturization of these tools. To do this, monoliths obtained by sol-gel approach in the presence of organosilanes or by radical polymerization of organic monomers were synthesized in situ in capillaries of 100 µm internal diameter. The better repeatability of synthesis of organic supports led to their selection for functionalization by trypsin or pepsin. In parallel, a miniaturised set-up for the analysis of digests was carried out. This will allow the subsequent inclusion of IMER in the overall analytical device

Abstract:
Mass spectrometry has in recent years been established as the standard method for protein identification and characterization in proteomics with excellent intrinsic sensitivity and specificity. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance is the mass spectrometric technique that provides the highest resolving power and mass accuracy, increasing the amount of information that can be obtained from complex samples. This thesis concerns how useful information on proteins of interest can be extracted from mass spectrometric data on different levels of protein structure and how to obtain this data experimentally. It was shown that it is possible to analyze complex mixtures of protein tryptic digests by direct infusion electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and identify abundant proteins by peptide mass fingerprinting. Coupling on-line methods such as liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis increased the number of proteins that could be identified in human body fluids. Protein identification was also improved by novel statistical methods utilizing prediction of chromatographic behavior and the non-randomness of enzymatic digestion. To identify proteins by short sequence tags, electron capture dissociation was implemented, improved and finally coupled on-line to liquid chromatography for the first time. The combined techniques can be used to sequence large proteins de novo or to localize and characterize any labile post-translational modification. New computer algorithms for the automated analysis of isotope exchange mass spectra were developed to facilitate the study of protein structural dynamics. The non-covalent interaction between HIV-inhibitory peptides and the oligomerization of amyloid β-peptides were investigated, reporting several new findings with possible relevance for development of anti-HIV drug therapies and understanding of fundamental mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease.

The peptides are being widely used in cosmetics, since they act on specific receptors in cells and organs. In particular the hydrolyzed rice (Oryza sativa) protein has the ability to increase the production of fibroblasts and collagen. This study aims to assess the stability of cosmetic formulations, with or without the presence of hydrolyzed samples of rice protein, by thermal and physical-chemical methods, the development of analytical methodologies for the separation and identification of samples of hydrolyzed rice protein and the determination of the antioxidant activity of these samples. Cosmetic formulations have been developed and studies of physical and chemical stability and heat resistance were carried out. The physical and organoleptic characteristics were also studied. It was observed that the approved formulations presented small pH variation. They were then studied with the incorporation of hydrolyzed rice protein samples, and approved. To determine the thermal stability of hydrolyzed rice protein samples in cosmetic preparations, analytical techniques as thermogravimetry / derivative thermogravimetry were used in this research. A method was developed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of hydrolyzed rice protein samples, which showed a variation of activity ± 4 times between samples. Methods have been developed by high performance liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for separation and identification of peptides present in the studied samples containing hydrolyzed rice protein.

Protein phosphorylation is one of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that served as a central mechanism in signal transduction of biological organisms. Approximately 99% of this modification located on serine and threonine residues, whereas a few occurred on tyrosine residue. However, due to the facility in designing epitopes of antibodies for phosphotyrosine, it facilitated the detection and functional analysis of phosphotyrosine in biological organisms by many methods (such as western blotting, immunoprecipitation, in vitro kinase assay and mass spectrometry). Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the major methods for proteomics analysis. This study developed a convenient way for protein digestion by using microwave oven to shorten the digestion time. Protein sample volume was at microscale level (2μL). The results showed that microwave-assisted digestion had better efficiency than conventional method, and this strategy also shortened the digestion time from 16 hours to 2 minutes. After protein digestion, chemical derivatization was introduced for labeling phosphorylated proteins, which increased the ionization efficiency and decreased neutral loss of phosphate group in MS analysis. Moreover, relative quantification of phosphorylation on the same peptide could be calculated by comparing the homologue chemicals labeled on the peptide. In the third part of this study, the calibration curve of digested human serum albumin (HSA) was constructed by mass spectrometric multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assay. HSA quantification was used as a benchmark for quantifying phosphorylated proteins in human blood and urine. In conclusion, a fast and convenient method for analyzing phosphorylated proteins by MS was established. The advantages of this method contain microscale samples, shorter digestion time, and good detection and quantification efficiency of phosphorylated proteins. Application of this method in biological samples demonstrated workable.

In this study, the parameters affecting protein separation on reversed-phase liquid chromatography, such as organic solvent、ion-pairing agent and the pressure were investigated. For the effect of pressure, the thermodynamic principals were applied to infer the cause of observed results. For organic solvent effect, three model proteins, ribonuclease A、lysozyme and α-lactalbumin which have the similar molecular weight and number of amino acids but different hydrophobicity, were judiciously chosen for this investigation. It was found that the separation efficiency using methanol as organic modifier is always worse than using acetonitrile. Moreover the efficiency difference between methanol and acetonitrile were smaller for the more hydrophobic proteins. It could be that the hydrophobic proteins were easily solvated by organic solvents such that less interaction with stationary phase once desorbed. For ion-pairing agent effect, two homologous series, poly-L-phenylalanine and poly-L-lysine, in addition to the three model proteins were used to investigate the effect of four ion-pairing agents : phosphoric acid、formic acid、trifluoroacetic acid and heptafluorobutyric acid. It was found that the retention time was increased with the hydrophobicity of ion-pairing agents. Moreover, the retention time of the hydrophilic peptides was more sensitive to the change of ion-pairing agents. The more hydrophilic peptides resulted in a better separation efficiency when paired with a more hydrophobic ion-pairing agent. Furthermore, the separation of lysozymes from chicken and turkey which are only different in 7 amino acids out of total 129 amino acids, had a better resolution and efficiency ehen under an isocratic elution using the mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid. For pressure effect, it was demonstrated that the retention time of the lysozyme was increased by as much as two to three times as the absolute pressure on the viewing window was increased from 23 to 318 bar. Since many factors such as conformational changes of proteins, ionization, and hydrophobic interactions may all contribute to the protein retention and are subjective to change with the pressure, it is desirable to find out the major cause of the pressure effect. In this study, a homologous series of poly-aminoacid which have no secondary structures was investigated. It was found that the more hydrophobic peptides resulted in a more pronounced pressure-induced retention and consequently, a greater volume change ( △V=Vsta-Vmob ) which was calculated from the first derivative of the lnk'' versus pressure polts. For example, the volume change of hydrophobic poly-L-phanylalanine was determined to be around minus 10 cm3/mol per phenylalanine, and the volume change of hydrophilic poly-L-lysine is about minus 1.5 cm3/mol per lysine. It is believed that perturbations in solute ionization、conformation change and stationary phase structural change have a minor impact under the investigated conditions, and the pressure-induced shift of the equilibria regarding hydrophobic ad-desorption is the major cause of the observed increase of protein retention. Assuming a linear relationship between the volume change and the hydrophobicity of amino acids, the volume change of other amino acids could be estimated. Moreover from comparing the volume changes of lysozyme and phenylalanine, it was predicted that about tens phenylalanine-equivalent residues on the lysozyme surface were involved in the hydrophobic association with the chromatographic ligands.

Abstract:

Liquid chromatography coupling with mass spectrometry (LC/MS) plays an important role in pharmaceutical characterization because of its ability to separate, identify, and quantify individual compounds from the mixture. Polymer brush layer bonded to the silica surface is designed as a novel stationary phase to improve the LC resolution and MS compatibility. The polymer thickness can be controlled to shield the analyte from interacting with the active silanol on the surface and reduce peak tailing. The functional group of the polymer can be changed to tune the selectivity in different separation modes.

Two projects on LC/MS method development for biomolecule characterization using polymer-shell column are discussed in this work. In the first project, a polymer-shell column is used for disulfide bonds and free thiol subspecies identification, which is a major type of structural heterogeneities in IgG1. Compared with commercial columns, the polymer-shell column is able to resolve the free thiol variants without the presence of trifluoroacetic acid and greatly improve the MS signal. In the second project, a polymer-shell column is used for characterizing the drug-loading profile for antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) via online LC/MS. The separation employs a mobile phase of 50 mM ammonium acetate to keep the ADC intact, and a gradient of water/isopropanol for ADC elution. MS data show that all ADC species remained intact and native on the column. Positional isomers can be separated and identified with the new method as well. Furthermore, to understand the surface chemistry and protein separation behavior quantitatively, a chromatographic simulation study is performed. The result shows that protein separation in RPLC can be described by a bi-Langmuir adsorption isotherm with mixed-mode retention of strong and weak sites. Smaller fractions and lower equilibrium constant of the strong site, which is the active silanol, give less tailing for protein separation.

Pressure-induced change of protein behavior has long been either ignored or observed to occur at high pressures (>1 kbar). In this study, the on-column detection system is used to directly investigated the effect of pressure on protein retention in situ along the column. The range of pressure in this study is from 20 bar to 360 bar. Meanwhile, in order to observe the tertiary structure change of lysozyme under pressure effect, the on-the-fly scan UV spectroscopy (A281nm/292nm) was acquired as well. In this work, three kinds of stationary phases, standard C18, C4 and low density C18 were investigated. The isocratic elution behavior of lysozyme molecule was investigated by the dual on column detection system before pressure study. From the relationship between capacity factor (k') and the compositions of mobile phase (acetonitrile or methanol), the desorbed and adsorbed conditions were defined. In the desorbed condition, the lysozyme molecule is hardly retained on the stationary phase (k'~0), whereas, in the adsorbed condition the solute molecule is strongly retained (k'>0.5). In this study, the chromatographic retention of lysozyme molecule was measured directly on a transparent fused silica column as a function of the local pressure under both desorbed and adsorbed conditions. Under the desorbed condition, both the capacity factor (k') and bandwidth of lysozyme are not changed significantly as the pressure increased. Under the adsorbed condition, the capacity factor (k') is substantially increased and the bandwidth is broadened upon pressurizing. From the thermodynamic theory, the molar volume change(ΔV=Vsta-Vmob) of the protein between stationary phase (Vsta) and mobile phase (Vmob) can be determined from the slope of the plot of lnk' versus pressure. The linear equation was attempted to fit the plots constructed under adsorbed conditions, resulting in R2 values greater than 0.95 for all fittings (except methanol as mobile phase for C4 column). For the standard C18 column, the molar volume changes were calculated to be around -110 mL/mol and -128 mL/mol for acetonitrile and methanol respectively. For the C4 column, the values were -116 mL/mol and -56 mL/mol. For the low density C18 column, the volume change was around -168 mL/mol and -163 mL/mol for acetonitrile and methanol, respectively. In addition, the quadratic equation was also used to fit the plot of lnk' versus pressure with R2 values greater than 0.99 for all fittings. Results indicate that the molar volume change of lysozyme was decreased as the pressure increased. Moreover, the fraction of the lysozyme eluted under high pressure (300 bar) was collected and reinjected into the column at low pressure (20~30 bar). Results show that the pressure-induced change of the chromatographic behavior of lysozyme is reversible.
