Description

Method for de novo sequencing of monoclonal antibody and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of amino acid sequencing, and particularly relates to a method for de novo sequencing of a monoclonal antibody and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of molecular biology and mass spectrometry technology, research on proteomics has received more and more attention, and has been widely used in many fields. As a key technology of proteomics, the de novo sequencing method can directly identify the amino acid sequence of the obtained peptide fragment according to tandem mass spectrometry, and has the advantage of irreplaceability of other protein identification methods.
As one of the core contents of proteomics research, the basic task of protein identification is to identify the amino acid sequence corresponding to the peptide fragment of the protein, which is the basis and key of research on protein structure, function, interaction among proteins and the like. As one of the most commonly used techniques in proteomics research at present, mass spectrometry is mainly used in the aspects of biological macromolecular mass measurement, protein structure analysis, protein peptide fragment sequence identification and the like, and has the advantages of high processing speed and high result accuracy, so that the mass spectrometry has been paid attention to in the field of biological research. The basic principle of mass spectrometry is: protein molecules are split into a series of charged fragment ions by a mass spectrometer under vacuum conditions, and the information of the fragment ions is sequentially analyzed and recorded according to the mass-to-charge ratio m/z (i.e. the ratio of mass m to charge z) of the fragment ions, so as to form a mass spectrogram.
In general, a mass spectrum obtained by analysis using only one mass spectrometer is referred to as a primary mass spectrum in which each ion peak corresponds to one peptide fragment of a protein. However, because of the complexity of protein samples, the primary mass spectrum contains less information, and the requirements of related researches such as protein identification cannot be well met. To extract more abundant information contained in proteins, further improving the accuracy of the results, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS, tandem mass spectrometry) techniques have been proposed. In short, tandem mass spectrometry refers to a process of connecting two or more mass spectrometers in series, selecting a specific parent ion (i.e. a specific peptide of a protein) in a primary mass spectrum, performing collision and fragmentation to generate a series of ion, and analyzing the child ion by a mass analyzer in the tandem mass spectrometer to form a secondary mass spectrum. The mass spectrum produced by tandem mass spectrometry techniques is referred to as a tandem mass spectrum. The relationship between parent ion and child ion is essentially the relationship between a protein peptide fragment and the amino acids constituting the peptide fragment.
With the appearance and continuous development of tandem mass spectrometry technology, a protein identification method based on tandem mass spectrometry rapidly stands out with the characteristics of high accuracy, high sensitivity, high reliability and the like, and is a main method in the current large-scale protein molecular identification and is widely applied. The protein de novo sequencing method is independent of protein database information, can directly obtain the amino acid sequence of a protein peptide fragment according to tandem mass spectrometry analysis, can be used for identifying new proteins which do not exist in a database, can provide related information of protein post-translational modification, and is one of the most commonly used protein identification methods at present.
However, the accuracy of identification from the head sequencing method is affected to some extent due to the complexity of tandem mass spectrometry data, the drawbacks of the identification method itself, and the like. At present, a number of de novo sequencing methods based on deep learning have been proposed, which can greatly improve the accuracy of de novo sequencing compared to the traditional de novo sequencing of proteins, but at the same time have some disadvantages. Therefore, how to utilize deep learning to learn the information contained in the tandem mass spectrum more fully, design a more accurate and reliable protein identification method, further improve the identification accuracy of protein sequencing from the head, and still be the key content in the related research of proteomics at present, and also be one of the research difficulties.

TABLE 1
As can be seen from a comparison of example 1 with examples 4 and 5, the concentration of the enzyme in the reaction solution of the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction affects the final fragment of the antibody, and the appropriate enzyme concentration can sufficiently degrade the antibody, facilitating subsequent mass spectrometric detection.
As can be seen from a comparison of examples 1 and examples 6-7, the time of the enzymolysis reaction cannot be too short, otherwise the enzymolysis is incomplete, the measured result is inaccurate and exceeds 18 hours, and the enzyme has influence on itself, so that impurities can be brought to interfere with subsequent detection.
As can be seen from the comparison of the example 1 and the comparative example 1, the separate enzymolysis of different enzymes can be used for enzymolysis of the monoclonal antibody into proper peptide fragments, which is more beneficial to the subsequent mass spectrum detection. The mixed enzymes are detected simultaneously, and mutual interference can occur.
As is clear from the comparison of example 1 and comparative examples 2 to 16, the detection effect of the combination of different enzymes is different, and the combination of partial enzymes has better detection effect on all three antibodies; however, for the combination of partial enzymes, which has no versatility, only a good detection effect on partial antibodies, the combination of enzymes in example 1 has better versatility and higher detection coverage than other combinations; the comparison example 15 adopts the combination of 6 enzymes to prepare a sample to be tested, and the result shows that the enzyme type is further increased, the increase of the detection effect is not facilitated, and the detection cost is increased to a certain extent.
Test example 2
