    Gas Phase Fragmentation Behavior of Proline in Macrocyclic B7 Ions
    (American Chemical Society, 2023) Taşoğlu, Çağdaş; Arslanoğlu, Alper; Yalçın, Talat
    Thefragmentation characteristics of b (7) ionsproduced from proline-containing heptapeptides have been studiedin detail. The study has utilized the following C-terminally amidatedmodel peptides: PA(6), APA(5), A(2)PA(4), A(3)PA(3), A(4)PA(2), A(5)PA, A(6)P, PYAGFLV, PAGFLVY, PGFLVYA, PFLVYAG,PLVYAGF, PVYAGFL, YPAGFLV, YAPGFLV, YAGPFLV, YAGFPLV, YAGFLPV, YAGFLVP,PYAFLVG, PVLFYAG, A(2)PXA(3), and A(2)XPA(3) (where X = C, D, F, G, L, V, and Y, respectively). The resultshave shown that b (7) ions undergo head-to-tailcyclization and form a macrocyclic structure. Under the collision-induceddissociation (CID) condition, it generates nondirect sequence ionsregardless of the position of the proline and the neighboring aminoacid residues. This study highlights the unusual and unique fragmentationbehavior of proline-containing heptapeptides. Following the head-to-tailcyclization, the ring opens up and places the proline residue in theN-terminal position while forming a regular oxazolone form of b (2) ions for all peptide series. Then, the fragmentationreaction pathway is followed by the elimination of proline with itsC-terminal neighbor residue as an oxazolone (e.g., PXoxa) for all proline-containing peptide series.

    Investigation of Peptide Size, Residue Position, Neighbor Amino Acid and Side Chain Effect on Macrocyclization of B N (n = 5-7) Ions
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Taşoğlu, Çağdaş; Görgülü, Güvenç; Yalçın, Talat
    A systematic study was carried out to examine the effects of the side chain, peptide size, residue position, and neighboring amino acid on the macrocyclization of b ions. The work utilized isomeric model peptides YAGFLV-NH 2, AGFLVY-NH 2, GFLVYA-NH 2, FLVYAG-NH 2, LVYAGF-NH 2, VYAGFL-NH 2, which all have the same amino acid sequence in cyclic form. The b 6 ions derived from all these isomeric peptides form the same macrocyclic structure due to the generation of the same amino acid sequence order upon cyclization. Hence, the MS/MS spectra and breakdown graphs of b 6 ions derived from these peptides are similar to each other. However, the relative intensities of the non-direct sequence ions in both the MS/MS spectra and breakdown graphs of the b 6 ions derived from FAYVGL-NH 2, GVYALF-NH 2 and VFYLAG-NH 2 show a different distribution from each other and the first series, even though they are all isomeric peptides. This could be due to the different amino acid sequence order in the cyclic forms of these peptides. It is clearly shown that the neighboring amino acid influences the selective opening of the macrocyclic form. Additionally, XYAGFLV-NH 2 and YAGXFLV-NH 2 (where X = C, D, E, H, K, M, N, P, Q, S, T, and W are amino acid residues) were also studied in order to examine the influence of the peptide size, amino acid side chain, and position on the ring formation and cleavage of macrocyclic b 5, b 6 and b 7 ions. The results have clearly shown that b 6 and b 7 ions have a higher tendency of macrocyclization compared to b 5 ions with the exception of QYAGFLV-NH 2. Additionally, it was observed that selective ring opening is also dependent on the size of the b ions and the position of the amino acid residue. From our study of the macrocyclic b 6 ions of our model peptides, the Q, W, K, and M residues were found to be more favorable eliminations when compared to C, D, E, H, N, P, S, and T. Based on the results, no preferential cleavage order can be specified depending on the nature of amino acid side chain.

    Protonated Dipeptide Losses From B 5 and B 4 Ions of Side Chain Hydroxyl Group Containing Pentapeptides
    (American Chemical Society, 2013) Atik, Ahmet Emin; Yalçın, Talat
    In this study, C-terminal protonated dipeptide eliminations were reported for both b 5 and b 4 ions of side chain hydroxyl group (-OH) containing pentapeptides. The study utilized the model C-terminal amidated pentapeptides having sequences of XGGFL and AXVYI, where X represents serine (S), threonine (T), glutamic acid (E), aspartic acid (D), or tyrosine (Y) residue. Upon low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) of XGGFL (where X = S, T, E, D, and Y) model peptide series, the ions at m/z 279 and 223 were observed as common fragments in all b 5 and b 4 ion (except b 4 ion of YGGFL) mass spectra, respectively. By contrast, peptides, namely SMeGGFL-NH2 and EOMeGGFL- NH2, did not show either the ion at m/z 279 or the ion at m/z 223. It is shown that the side chain hydroxyl group is required for the possible mechanism to take place that furnishes the protonated dipeptide loss from b 5 and b 4 ions. In addition, the ions at m/z 295 and 281 were detected as common fragments in all b 5 and b 4 ion (except b 4 ion of AYVYI) mass spectra, respectively, for AXVYI model peptide series. The MS4 experiments exhibited that the fragment ions at m/z 279, 223, 295, and 281 entirely reflect the same fragmentation behavior of [M + H]+ ion generated from commercial dipeptides FL-OH, GF-OH, YI-OH, and VY-OH. These novel eliminations reported here for b 5 and b 4 ions can be useful in assigning the correct and reliable peptide sequences for high-throughput proteomic studies.

    A Systematic Study of Acidic Peptides for B-Type Sequence Scrambling
    (American Chemical Society, 2011) Atik, Ahmet Emin; Yalçın, Talat
    A systematic study was carried out to examine the effects of acidic amino acid residues and the position of the acidic group on the cyclization of b ions. The study utilized the model C-terminal amidated eptides AAAAAA, AXAAAAA, AAXAAAA, AAAXAAA, AAAAXAA, AAAAAXA, AAAAAAX, XXAAAAAA, AAXXAAAA, AAAAXXAA, and AAAAAAXX, where X is a glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D) residue. The CID mass spectra of bn (where n=7 and 8) ions derived from XAAAAAA, AAAXAAA, AAAAAAX and XXAAAAAA, AAXXAAAA, AAAAXXAA, and AAAAAAXX exhibited very similar fragmentation patterns for both the glutamic and the aspartic acid peptide series. The CID mass spectra of MH+ derived from model peptides presented substantial direct and non-direct sequence bions. The results indicate that b ions produced from acidic peptides can also undergo head-to-tail cyclization, which is the reason for the formation of the non-direct sequence b ions. The bion spectra derived from the peptides became more complex as the number of acidic residues in the peptides increased. Side chains of glutamic and aspartic acid did not inhibit the cyclization of the b ions. Substantial water elimination was observed in all CID spectra of b7 and b8 ions. Finally, the preferential cleavage of glutamic or aspartic acid residues from macrocyclic structures of b ions was also investigated under various collision energy conditions.
