Abstract
The multi-attribute method (MAM) was conceived as a single assay to potentially replace multiple single-attribute assays that have long been used in process development and quality control (QC) for protein therapeutics. MAM is rooted in traditional peptide mapping methods; it leverages mass spectrometry (MS) detection for confident identification and quantitation of many types of protein attributes that may be targeted for monitoring. While MAM has been widely explored across the industry, it has yet to gain a strong foothold within QC laboratories as a replacement method for established orthogonal platforms. Members of the MAM consortium recently undertook an interlaboratory study to evaluate the industry-wide status of MAM. Here we present the results of this study as they pertain to the targeted attribute analytics component of MAM, including investigation into the sources of variability between laboratories and comparison of MAM data to orthogonal methods. These results are made available with an eye toward aiding the community in further optimizing the method to enable its more frequent use in the QC environment.

Abstract
Biopharmaceutical sequences can be well confirmed by multiple protease digests-e.g., trypsin, elastase, and chymotrypsin-followed by LC-MS/MS data analysis. High quality data can be used for de novo sequencing as well. PASEF (Parallel Accumulation and Serial Fragmentation) on the timsTOF instrument has been used to accelerate proteome and protein sequence studies and increase sequence coverage concomitantly.Here we describe the protein chemical and LC-MS methods in detail to generate high quality samples for sequence characterization from only 3 digests. We applied PASEF to generate exhaustive protein sequence coverage maps by combination of results from the three enzyme digests using a short LC gradient. The data quality obtained was high and adequate for determining antibody sequences de novo.Nivolumab and dulaglutide were digested by 3 enzymes individually. For nivolumab, 94/94/90% sequence coverage and 86/84/85% fragment coverage were obtained from the individual digest analysis with trypsin/chymotrypsin/elastase, respectively. For dulaglutide, 96/100/90% sequence coverage and 92/90/83% fragment coverage were obtained. The merged peptide map from the 3 digests for nivolumab resulted in ∼550 peptides; enough to safely confirm the full sequences and to determine the nivolumab sequence de novo.

Abstract
The Multi-Attribute Method (MAM) Consortium was initially formed as a venue to harmonize best practices, share experiences, and generate innovative methodologies to facilitate widespread integration of the MAM platform, which is an emerging ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry application. Successful implementation of MAM as a purity-indicating assay requires new peak detection (NPD) of potential process- and/or product-related impurities. The NPD interlaboratory study described herein was carried out by the MAM Consortium to report on the industry-wide performance of NPD using predigested samples of the NISTmAb Reference Material 8671. Results from 28 participating laboratories show that the NPD parameters being utilized across the industry are representative of high-resolution MS performance capabilities. Certain elements of NPD, including common sources of variability in the number of new peaks detected, that are critical to the performance of the purity function of MAM were identified in this study and are reported here as a means to further refine the methodology and accelerate adoption into manufacturer-specific protein therapeutic product life cycles.

Abstract
Glycopeptides in peptide or digested protein samples pose a number of analytical and bioinformatics challenges beyond those posed by unmodified peptides or peptides with smaller posttranslational modifications. Exact structural elucidation of glycans is generally beyond the capability of a single mass spectrometry experiment, so a reasonable level of identification for tandem mass spectrometry, taken by several glycopeptide software tools, is that of peptide sequence and glycan composition, meaning the number of monosaccharides of each distinct mass, e.g., HexNAc(2)Hex(5) rather than man5. Even at this level, however, glycopeptide analysis poses challenges: finding glycopeptide spectra when they are a tiny fraction of the total spectra; assigning spectra with unanticipated glycans, not in the initial glycan database; and finding, scoring, and labeling diagnostic peaks in tandem mass spectra. Here, we discuss recent improvements to Byonic, a glycoproteomics search program, that address these three issues. Byonic now supports filtering spectra by m/z peaks, so that the user can limit attention to spectra with diagnostic peaks, e.g., at least two out of three of 204.087 for HexNAc, 274.092 for NeuAc (with water loss), and 366.139 for HexNAc-Hex, all within a set mass tolerance, e.g., ± 0.01 Da. Also, new is glycan "wildcard" search, which allows an unspecified mass within a user-set mass range to be applied to N- or O-linked glycans and enables assignment of spectra with unanticipated glycans. Finally, the next release of Byonic supports user-specified peak annotations from user-defined posttranslational modifications. We demonstrate the utility of these new software features by finding previously unrecognized glycopeptides in publicly available data, including glycosylated neuropeptides from rat brain.

Abstract
Biosimilars are poised to reduce prices and increase patient access to expensive, but highly effective biologic products. However, questions still remain about the degree of similarity and scarcity of information on biosimilar products from outside of the US/EU in the public domain. Thus, as an independent entity, we performed a comparative analysis between the innovator, Rituxan® (manufactured by Genentech/Roche), and a Russian rituximab biosimilar, Acellbia® (manufactured by Biocad). We evaluated biosimilarity of these two products by a variety of state-of-the-art analytical mass spectrometry techniques, including tandem MS mapping, HX-MS, IM-MS, and intact MS. Both were found to be generally similar regarding primary and higher order structure, though differences were identified in terms of glycoform distribution levels of C-terminal Lys, N-terminal pyroGlu, charge variants and soluble aggregates. Notably, we confirmed that the biosimilar had a higher level of afucosylated glycans, resulting in a stronger FcγIIIa binding affinity and increased ADCC activity. Taken together, our work provides a comprehensive comparison of Rituxan® and Acellbia®.

Abstract
Intact N-glycopeptide analysis remains challenging due to the complexity of glycopeptide structures, low abundance of glycopeptides in protein digests, and difficulties in data interpretation/quantitation. Herein, we developed a workflow that involved advanced methodologies, the EThcD-MS/MS fragmentation method and data interpretation software, for differential analysis of the microheterogeneity of site-specific intact N-glycopeptides of serum haptoglobin between early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis. Haptoglobin was immunopurified from 20 μL of serum in patients with early HCC, liver cirrhosis, and healthy controls, respectively, followed by trypsin/GluC digestion, glycopeptide enrichment, and LC-EThcD-MS/MS analysis. Identification and differential quantitation of site-specific N-glycopeptides were performed using a combination of Byonic and Byologic software. In total, 93, 87, and 68 site-specific N-glycopeptides were identified in early HCC, liver cirrhosis, and healthy controls, respectively, with high confidence. The increased variety of N-glycopeptides in liver diseases compared to healthy controls was due to increased branching with hyper-fucosylation and sialylation. Differential quantitation analysis showed that 5 site-specific N-glycopeptides on sites N184 and N241 were significantly elevated in early HCC compared to cirrhosis ( p < 0.05) and normal controls ( p ≤ 0.001). The result demonstrates that the workflow provides a strategy for detailed profiles of N-glycopeptides of patient samples as well as for relative quantitation to determine the level changes in site-specific N-glycopeptides between disease states.

Abstract
![]()
Charge
deconvolution infers the mass from mass over charge (m/z) measurements in electrospray ionization
mass spectra. When applied over a wide input m/z or broad target mass range, charge-deconvolution algorithms
can produce artifacts, such as false masses at one-half or one-third
of the correct mass. Indeed, a maximum entropy term in the objective
function of MaxEnt, the most commonly used charge deconvolution algorithm,
favors a deconvolved spectrum with many peaks over one with fewer
peaks. Here we describe a new “parsimonious” charge
deconvolution algorithm that produces fewer artifacts. The algorithm
is especially well-suited to high-resolution native mass spectrometry
of intact glycoproteins and protein complexes. Deconvolution of native
mass spectra poses special challenges due to salt and small molecule
adducts, multimers, wide mass ranges, and fewer and lower charge states.
We demonstrate the performance of the new deconvolution algorithm
on a range of samples. On the heavily glycosylated plasma properdin
glycoprotein, the new algorithm could deconvolve monomer and dimer
simultaneously and, when focused on the m/z range of the monomer, gave accurate and interpretable
masses for glycoforms that had previously been analyzed manually using m/z peaks rather than deconvolved masses.
On therapeutic antibodies, the new algorithm facilitated the analysis
of extensions, truncations, and Fab glycosylation. The algorithm facilitates
the use of native mass spectrometry for the qualitative and quantitative
analysis of protein and protein assemblies.

Abstract
Remsima™ (infliximab) is the first biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved by the European Medical Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration. Remsima™ is highly similar to its reference product, Remicade®, with identical formulation components. The 2 products, however, are not identical; Remsima™ has higher levels of soluble aggregates, C-terminal lysine truncation, and fucosylated glycans. To understand if these attribute differences could be amplified during forced degradation, solutions and lyophilized powders of the 2 products were subjected to stress at elevated temperature (40-60°C) and humidity (dry-97% relative humidity). Stress-induced aggregation and degradation profiles were similar for the 2 products and resulted in loss of infliximab binding to tumor necrosis factor and FcγRIIIa. Appearances of protein aggregates and hydrolysis products were time- and humidity-dependent, with similar degradation rates observed for the reference and biosimilar products. Protein powder incubations at 40°C/97% relative humidity resulted in partial mAb unfolding and increased asparagine deamidation. Minor differences in heat capacity, fluorescence, levels of subvisible particulates, deamidation and protein fragments were observed in the 2 stressed products, but these differences were not statistically significant. The protein solution instability at 60°C, although quite significant, was also similar for both products. Despite the small initial analytical differences, Remicade® and Remsima™ displayed similar degradation mechanisms and kinetics. Thus, our results show that the 2 products are highly similar and infliximab's primary sequence largely defines their protein instabilities compared with the limited influence of small initial purity and glycosylation differences in the 2 products.

Abstract
Applications of antibody de novo sequencing in the biopharmaceutical industry range from the discovery of new antibody drug candidates to identifying reagents for research and determining the primary structure of innovator products for biosimilar development. When murine, phage display, or patient-derived monoclonal antibodies against a target of interest are available, but the cDNA or the original cell line is not, de novo protein sequencing is required to humanize and recombinantly express these antibodies, followed by in vitro and in vivo testing for functional validation. Availability of fully automated software tools for monoclonal antibody de novo sequencing enables efficient and routine analysis. Here, we present a novel method to automatically de novo sequence antibodies using mass spectrometry and the Supernovo software. The robustness of the algorithm is demonstrated through a series of stress tests. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Regulation of the class IA PI 3-kinase involves inhibition and stabilization of the catalytic subunit (p110) by the regulatory subunit (p85). Regulation is achieved by two major contacts: a stable interface involving the adapter-binding domain (ABD) of p110 and the inter-SH2 (iSH2) domain of p85 and a regulatory interaction between the N-terminal SH2 (nSH2) domain of p85 and the helical domain of p110. In the present study, we have examined the relative orientation of the nSH2 and iSH2 of p85alpha using site-directed spin labeling and pulsed EPR. Surprisingly, both distance measurements and distance distributions suggest that the nSH2 domain is highly disordered relative to the iSH2 domain. Molecular modeling based on EPR distance restraints suggests that the nSH2 domain moves in a hinge-like manner, sampling a torus space around the proximal end of the iSH2 domain. These data have important implications for the mechanism by which p85/p110 dimers are regulated by phosphopeptides.

Abstract
The Anthracis repressor (AntR) is a Mn(II)-activated DNA binding protein that is involved in the regulation of Mn(II) homeostasis in Bacillus anthracis. AntR is structurally and functionally homologous to Mn(II)-activated repressor from Bacillus subtillis (MntR). Our studies on AntR focus on metal-regulated activation of the protein. Line shape analysis of continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra showed that metal binding resulted in a general reduction of backbone dynamics and that there were no further changes in backbone motion upon DNA binding. Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) pulsed EPR spectroscopy was used to measure distances between nitroxide spin labels strategically placed in dimeric AntR. The DEER data were analyzed assuming Gaussian distributions for discrete populations of spins. A structural model for AntR was built from homology to MntR, and the experimentally measured distances were simulated to distinguish between spin label and backbone motions. Together with the computational analysis, the DEER results for apo-AntR indicated relatively narrow conformational distributions for backbone residues at the dimer interface and near the metal binding site. No significant changes were observed on these sites in the presence of metal or DNA. On the other hand, the distribution of the conformers and the distances between the putative DNA binding helices decreased upon metal binding. These results suggest that the DNA binding region of AntR shows large amplitude backbone motions in the absence of metal, which may preclude sequence-specific binding to promoter sites. Metal binding narrows the range of conformations accessible in this region and shortens the mean distance between the DNA binding helices, probably resulting in alignment that optimizes promoter recognition and binding.

Abstract
The anthracis repressor (AntR) is a manganese-activated transcriptional regulator from Bacillus anthracis and is a member of the diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR) family of proteins. In this paper, we characterize the Mn(II) binding and protein dimerization state using a combination of continuous wave (cw) and pulsed EPR methods. Equilibrium metal binding experiments showed that AntR binds 2 equivalents of Mn(II) with positive cooperativity and apparent dissociation constants of 210 and 16.6 microM. AntR showed sub-millisecond Mn(II) on-rates as measured using stopped-flow EPR. The kinetics of Mn(II) dissociation, measured by displacement with Zn(II), was biphasic with rate constants of 35.7 and 0.115 s(-1). Variable-temperature parallel and perpendicular mode cw EPR spectra showed no evidence of a spin-exchange interaction, suggesting that the two Mn(II) ions are not forming a binuclear cluster. Finally, size exclusion chromatography and double electron-electron resonance EPR demonstrated that AntR forms a dimer in the absence of Mn(II). These results provide insights into the metal activation of AntR and allow a comparison with related DtxR proteins.
