Structural elucidation and isomeric differentiation/quantitation of monophosphorylated phosphoinositides using gas-phase ion/ion reactions and dissociation kinetics

Abstract

Phosphoinositides, phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositols, are essential signaling phospholipids in all mammalian cellular membranes. With three known phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositols at the 3-, 4-, and 5-positions along the myo-inositol ring, various fatty acyl chain lengths, and varying degrees of unsaturation, numerous isomers can be present. It is challenging for shotgun-MS to accurately identify and characterize phosphoinositides and their isomers using the most readily available precursor ion types. To overcome this challenge, novel gas-phase ion/ion chemistry was used to expand the range of precursor ion-types for subsequent structural characterization of phosphoinositides using shot-gun tandem mass spectrometry. The degree of phosphorylation and fatty acyl sum composition are readily obtained by ion-trap CID of deprotonated phosphoinositides. Carbon–carbon double bond position of the fatty acyl chains can be localized via a charge inversion ion/ion reaction. Utilizing sequential ion/ion reactions and subsequent activation yields product ion information that is of limited utility for phosphorylation site localization. However, the kinetics of dissociation allowed for isomeric differentiation of the position of the phosphate group. Furthermore, employing the same kinetics method, relative quantitative information was gained for the isomeric species.
