| Abstract |
The identification of proximate amino acids by chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry XL-MS facilitates the structural analysis of homogeneous protein complexes. We gained distance restraints on a modular interaction network of protein complexes affinity-purified from human cells by applying an adapted XL-MS protocol. Systematic analysis of human protein phosphatase 2A PP2A complexes identified 176 interprotein and 570 intraprotein cross-links that link specific trimeric PP2A complexes to a multitude of adaptor proteins that control their cellular functions. Spatial restraints guided molecular modeling of the binding interface between immunoglobulin binding protein 1 IGBP1 and PP2A and revealed the topology of TCP1 ring complex TRiC chaperonin interacting with the PP2A regulatory subunit 2ABG. This study establishes XL-MS as an integral part of hybrid structural biology approaches for the analysis of endogenous protein complexes. |
| Synopsis |
Protein complexes were crosslinked and messured using mass spectrometry. The identified crosslinks specify a maximum distance between different parts of the proteins in the complex and this information can be used to build computer models of the complexes. |
