Targeted Tandem Mass Spectrometry for High-Throughput Comparative Proteomics Employing NanoLC-FTICR MS with External Ion Dissociation

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 18(7):1332-1343
ABSTRACT-Targeted tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is an attractive proteomic approach that allows selective identification of peptides exhibiting abundance differences between culture conditions and/or diseased states. Herein, we report on a targeted LC-MS/MS capability realized with a 7 Tesla Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer equipped with a quadrupole interface that provides data-dependent ion selection, accumulation, and dissociation externally to the ICR trap. Identification of a subset of differentially abundant proteins from Shewanella oneidensis grown under suboxic vs. aerobic conditions demonstrates the feasibility of such approach. High mass resolution offered by FTICR and effective on-the-fly elution time correction facilitated accurate selection of targets, while high mass measurement accuracy MS/MS data resulted in unambiguous peptide identifications.
