Dass Research Group: Mass Spectrometry

Conformation of Proteins and Peptides: One of the objectives of our current research program is to investigate conformational states of proteins and peptides in "membrane-mimetic" environment. Polypeptides orient themselves into a stable folded structure that is essential for their proper functioning when in contact with the lipid phase of the target cell membrane. Incorporation of peptides into liposomes (lipid vesicles) and certain organic solvents (e.g., methanol, trifluroethanol, and 1-chloroethanol) will create "membrane-mimetic" environment. These solvents are known to induce secondary structures in the peptide chain. Subtle changes in conformation are frequently used in nature to modulate or regulate protein's function. Similarly, in order to perform its function, a peptide must assume a particular conformation that can fit into the receptor cavity. Biological activity of peptide hormones is believed to correlate to their affinities for phospholipid membranes and their conformations in the membrane-bound state. Experimentally, we induce secondary structures by dissolving the target peptides in trifluoroethanol or other organic solvents and bringing them in contact with phospholipid vesicles. Changes in the structure are investigated by (a) determining the charge-state distribution (CSD) with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), (b) monitoring the hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) rates with ESI-MS and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)-MS techniques, and (c) acquiring tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra of the deuterated peptides to precisely pinpoint the amino acid residues involved in the secondary structure. Several peptides and proteins have been studied with this protocol.

Proteomics: Our other focus is to structurally characterize proteins in bovine and porcine pituitary and adrenal glands using proteomics Attempts are being made to determine the complete chemical composition of bovine and adrenal glands. Pituitary and adrenal glands synthesize a variety of proteins that play critical roles in the functioning of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Pituitary is an important link between nervous system and the endocrine system. A large number of hormones and bioactive peptides, such as opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins), ACTH, CRF, neuropeptides Y, etc., are produced from these glands and have numerous functional roles, including control of growth, sexual development, and metabolism, pain suppression, influence on the immune system, maintenance of the vascular response, and protection of the body against stress. Therefore, for understanding of proper functioning of these vital organs, it is important to have knowledge of their chemical composition. Two mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches, namely peptide-mass fingerprinting (PMF) and sequence-ions approach are commonly used.
