Résumé
Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has become a valuable analytical technique in top-down proteomics (TDP). CZE-MS/MS-based TDP typically employs separation capillaries with neutral coatings (i.e., linear polyacrylamide, LPA). However, issues related to separation resolution and reproducibility remain with the LPA-coated capillaries due to the unavoidable non-specific protein adsorption onto the capillary wall. Cationic coatings can be critical alternatives to LPA coating for CZE-MS/MS-based TDP due to the electrostatic repulsion between the positively charged capillary inner wall and proteoform molecules in the acidic separation buffer. Unfortunately, there are only very few studies using cationic coating-based CZE-MS/MS for TDP studies. In this work, we aimed to develop a simple and efficient approach for preparing separation capillaries with a cationic coating, i.e., poly (acrylamide-co-(3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride [PAMAPTAC]) for CZE-MS/MS-based TDP. The PAMAPTAC coating-based CZE-MS produced significantly better separation resolution of proteoforms compared to the traditionally used LPA-coated approach. It achieved reproducible separation and measurement of a simple proteoform mixture and a complex proteome sample (i.e., a yeast cell lysate) regarding migration time, proteoform intensity, and the number of proteoform identifications. The PAMAPTAC coating-based CZE-MS enabled the detection of large proteoforms (≥30 kDa) from the yeast cell lysate reproducibly without any size-based prefractionation. Interestingly, the mobility of proteoforms using the PAMAPTAC coating can be predicted accurately using a simple semi-empirical model. The results render the PAMAPTAC coating as a valuable alternative to the LPA coating to advance CZE-MS-based TDP towards high-resolution separation and highly reproducible measurement of proteoforms in complex samples.

BACKGROUND
Capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has become a valuable analytical technique in top-down proteomics (TDP).

However, issues related to separation resolution and reproducibility remain with the LPA-coated capillaries due to the unavoidable non-specific protein adsorption onto the capillary wall. Cationic coatings can be critical alternatives to LPA coating for CZE-MS/MS-based TDP due to the electrostatic repulsion between the positively charged capillary inner wall and proteoform molecules in the acidic separation buffer.

RESULTS
In this work, we aimed to develop a simple and efficient approach for preparing separation capillaries with a cationic coating, i.e., poly (acrylamide-co-(3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride [PAMAPTAC]) for CZE-MS/MS-based TDP. The PAMAPTAC coating-based CZE-MS produced significantly better separation resolution of proteoforms compared to the traditionally used LPA-coated approach. It achieved reproducible separation and measurement of a simple proteoform mixture and a complex proteome sample (i.e., a yeast cell lysate) regarding migration time, proteoform intensity, and the number of proteoform identifications. The PAMAPTAC coating-based CZE-MS enabled the detection of large proteoforms (≥30 kDa) from the yeast cell lysate reproducibly without any size-based prefractionation. Interestingly, the mobility of proteoforms using the PAMAPTAC coating can be predicted accurately using a simple semi-empirical model.
