Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Chemical cross-linking in combination with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has evolved into an alternative strategy for elucidating three-dimensional protein structures and for mapping protein interfaces. In the DFG-funded projects novel collision-induced dissociation (CID)-MS/MS labile cross-linkers were designed, synthesized, and successfully applied to address important biological questions. Our most prominent cross-linker containing a CID-labile urea group (disuccinimidyl dibutyric urea, DSBU, formerly BuUrBu) has become commercially available and is currently in use for conducting XL-MS studies by a number of groups worldwide. The projects have been extraordinarily successful and ultimately resulted in a fully automated analytical workflow that for conducting XL-MS of whole proteomes. This workflow, published in Nature Protocols (2018) and Anal. Chem. (2019), has gained great interest within the community of structural biologists to map protein-protein interaction networks and to determine protein conformations in the complex cellular environment.
