1 00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:07,320 [Music] 2 00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:09,160 [Applause] 3 00:00:15,709 --> 00:00:12,660 hi my name is Qashqai fukushima from LC 4 00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:15,719 and today i would like to explain about 5 00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:18,779 the ongoing new tech the technological 6 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,020 method that we've been investigating to 7 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:24,720 prove the surface to prove the peptide 8 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:26,640 basically a random peptide sequence 9 00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:30,800 space using absorption type technology 10 00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:35,760 so many of us know that we still don't 11 00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:37,830 know where the origin of fly where life 12 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:40,020 actually originated but one thing that 13 00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:44,340 we know is that from the inorganic 14 00:00:50,889 --> 00:00:47,940 organic compounds some hell through the 15 00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:50,899 evolution of these chemical molecules 16 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:53,550 they eventually led to the emergence of 17 00:00:58,340 --> 00:00:55,920 the polymers so there should have been a 18 00:01:00,529 --> 00:00:58,350 state where a stage where a body 19 00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:00,539 polymers were formed through many 20 00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:02,699 different types of processes like drive 21 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:07,100 at cycle diagenesis impact shock heating 22 00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:10,080 hydrothermal reactor so many places on 23 00:01:13,339 --> 00:01:11,940 so many different planetary bodies could 24 00:01:13,580 --> 00:01:13,349 take this type of reaction could take 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:13,590 place 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:17,130 and among those abiotic polymers there 27 00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:19,610 should have been some sort of selection 28 00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:22,950 selective process that led to eventually 29 00:01:27,199 --> 00:01:25,560 led to a functional polymer here I'm not 30 00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:27,209 talking about the replication of 31 00:01:33,650 --> 00:01:30,750 polymers it's even prior to that what is 32 00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:33,660 the first filter or the selection that 33 00:01:38,570 --> 00:01:36,780 could have taken place and my answer to 34 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,580 that is the mineral surface absorption 35 00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:41,280 so especially focusing on the earlier 36 00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:43,470 Earth what sort of minerals were 37 00:01:46,249 --> 00:01:44,160 abundant 38 00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:46,259 one of the major minerals that we can 39 00:01:52,809 --> 00:01:49,590 think of is the iron sulphides so here 40 00:01:55,219 --> 00:01:52,819 the elements on the left you see the 41 00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:55,229 abundant elements for example iron and 42 00:02:00,800 --> 00:01:58,380 software both abundant on kadian archaea 43 00:02:02,809 --> 00:02:00,810 notion and you can see these two 44 00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:02,819 different types of iron sulfide minerals 45 00:02:09,139 --> 00:02:05,009 that must have been existed on early 46 00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:09,149 Earth and sorry it's not intentional but 47 00:02:13,130 --> 00:02:10,950 somehow the resolution is very bad but 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:13,140 here there this paper is actually 49 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:15,090 explaining about there could have been a 50 00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:17,370 progression of iron sulfur cluster from 51 00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:19,590 these hydrothermal system to eventually 52 00:02:23,390 --> 00:02:20,880 lead to the biological protein 53 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:23,400 so here I'm focusing on the iron 54 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,510 sulphides and by using a random peptide 55 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:30,480 sequence so this is basically it's a 56 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:34,530 octamer which has one fixed tyrosine on 57 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:37,500 the n-terminal with following by seven 58 00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:40,170 random any amino acid residues consisted 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:42,240 five different types of amino acids so 60 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:43,890 it's a combination of five to the power 61 00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:47,850 of seven and once you subject this 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:50,100 random peptide onto the surface of the 63 00:02:55,330 --> 00:02:53,010 iron sulfide mineral you can then wash 64 00:02:57,740 --> 00:02:55,340 off all the nonspecific binders and 65 00:03:00,170 --> 00:02:57,750 simply analyze the ones that are 66 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:00,180 remaining on the surface and in order to 67 00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:02,910 do so we're using this off technique 68 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,300 called mal D ms/ms 69 00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:07,920 the one of the reason is because we want 70 00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:10,920 to know the mass of the peptides that 71 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:12,390 are remaining but also at the same time 72 00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:14,610 we want to fragment these peptides and 73 00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:17,190 go into the sequence level so the two 74 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:20,310 key questions one is well iron sulphide 75 00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:22,110 surface absorption can lead to amino 76 00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:24,900 acid compositional bias of the peptides 77 00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:28,140 and second whether there is any sequence 78 00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:31,110 specificity that can emerge to do this 79 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:33,540 processes and one of the interesting 80 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,170 intriguing fact is that the biology as 81 00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:39,360 we know we're actually using iron sulfur 82 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:42,120 cluster which actually surrounded by 83 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,120 either cysteine or histidine in the 84 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:48,000 first shell most adjacent to these 85 00:03:51,410 --> 00:03:49,770 aren't sulfur's so you could imagine 86 00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:51,420 these amino acids should have 87 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:54,540 contributed significantly in order to 88 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:56,370 maintain these are and sulfur clusters 89 00:04:03,880 --> 00:03:58,530 so that's why I included these two amino 90 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:03,890 acids in the random amino acid pool so 91 00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:06,450 well so you can think of there's gonna 92 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:09,240 be 338 different isomers with different 93 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:13,770 molecular weights containing 78,000 125 94 00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:16,320 unique sequences so for example if you 95 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:18,750 focus on one isomer pool so say 96 00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:22,320 molecular weight of 769 you can have 208 97 00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:25,260 different types of isomer sequences so 98 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:27,420 what I did here is that I started off by 99 00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:30,270 making an amorphous iron sulfide mineral 100 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:31,940 mixing iron chloride 101 00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:34,850 and a sodium sulfide precipitating out 102 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:37,910 this iron sulfide amorphous mixing these 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:40,250 random peptides into that and then 104 00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:43,010 rinsing again and again to remove all 105 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:45,380 the nonspecific binders and eventually 106 00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:48,010 analyzing the absorbed peptides directly 107 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,820 using the MALDI so on the left is iron 108 00:04:56,980 --> 00:04:54,800 sulphide without peptide but once you 109 00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:56,990 add the peptide what happens is that you 110 00:05:00,400 --> 00:04:58,520 start seeing these clumps of iron 111 00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:00,410 sulfide mineral meaning that the peptide 112 00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:03,380 is starting to stick to each perhaps 113 00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:07,040 peptide is working as like a glue to in 114 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:11,900 order to form these gigantic large 115 00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:14,860 particles so here the average size 116 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:17,510 nanoparticle is from nanometer order to 117 00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:20,090 micron or scale but here you can 118 00:05:25,030 --> 00:05:23,390 actually visualize it in your eyes so 119 00:05:27,940 --> 00:05:25,040 melp so for the people who don't know 120 00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:27,950 that the technology of Mally I'll just 121 00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:29,270 go through this briefly but it's called 122 00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:30,380 matrix assisted laser desorption 123 00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:33,500 ionization mass spec so you mix your 124 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:35,990 peptide with the so called matrix which 125 00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:41,090 allows protonation of the peptide and by 126 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:43,550 hitting with a laser it has a specific 127 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:46,310 absorbance so if serves the light energy 128 00:05:50,890 --> 00:05:48,770 and then it on eise's the peptide and 129 00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:50,900 the peptides will subject it to the 130 00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:54,680 time-of-flight aspect so here's the our 131 00:05:59,290 --> 00:05:56,300 first planet luminary results of 132 00:06:02,110 --> 00:05:59,300 analyzing both the the random peptide 133 00:06:04,210 --> 00:06:02,120 and the peptides are after absorbed on 134 00:06:09,070 --> 00:06:04,220 the mineral surface so you can actually 135 00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:09,080 see well it's very messy but still you 136 00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:10,820 can actually see the difference that's 137 00:06:16,270 --> 00:06:13,070 it slightly shifted towards the right so 138 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:16,280 it seems like slightly heavier peptide 139 00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:19,010 molecules are started to select and also 140 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:20,480 you can see that there are less noise 141 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,730 noisy here meaning that many of the 142 00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:24,800 peptide should have been rinsed off but 143 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:26,900 some of them are still remaining so 144 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:28,610 let's go into the let's look into what's 145 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:31,370 happening so here what I did was I 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:34,550 plotted all the older peptides their 147 00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:38,210 peak area normalized peak area to the 148 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:40,310 absorbed peptide peak areas so what you 149 00:06:45,340 --> 00:06:42,050 can see is that there's almost no 150 00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:45,350 correlation so it's only like art 151 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,200 the correlation coefficient is 0.43 152 00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:50,720 meaning that many of these peptides are 153 00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:52,910 not following the profile of the 154 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:54,920 original peptide that I have subjected 155 00:07:00,130 --> 00:06:58,130 on the right is the supernatant so if 156 00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:00,140 you wash off most of the peptides those 157 00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:03,500 peptides actually follow the same 158 00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:05,600 profile of the peptides that I used it 159 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:07,340 initially so that means there's 160 00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:09,110 something the some sort of selection 161 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:11,990 happening already against a mineral 162 00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:15,530 bound peptides and just in case that 163 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:19,040 these profile bias is not coming from 164 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:21,290 the oxidation of the thigh or group of 165 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:24,410 sustain I did with him without the 166 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:26,990 reductant the t set just to make sure 167 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:29,360 that the cysteine is not converting to 168 00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:31,970 cysteine or forming some weird sustained 169 00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:35,630 sustained bond duplex peptide so it sits 170 00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:37,790 nicely correlated here that means the 171 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:39,860 cysteine is already the sister thyroid 172 00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:42,410 group is reduced so that means we can 173 00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:45,310 now consider that the peptide is 174 00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:47,990 absorbed on the surface and the sister 175 00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:50,240 at the thyroid group is still there to 176 00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:54,710 do the job however when I looked at what 177 00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:56,750 type of peptides are absorbed on the 178 00:08:02,140 --> 00:07:59,090 iron sulfide surface there were there 179 00:08:04,570 --> 00:08:02,150 was a clear tendency towards Hyken a 180 00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:04,580 component hi a composition of histidine 181 00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:08,060 so you can see these are all one 182 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,070 histidine bearing peptides to histidine 183 00:08:15,010 --> 00:08:12,560 bearing peptides three four five and six 184 00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:15,020 so you can actually see the trends going 185 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:19,040 up although even within these like to 186 00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:20,330 histidine bearing three history and 187 00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:23,950 bearing there our composition or bias 188 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:26,600 the intensity is different among these 189 00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:27,890 different peptides but there are these 190 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:30,860 overall trends whereas it was kind of 191 00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:33,290 disappointing to see that if you now 192 00:08:39,250 --> 00:08:36,020 focus on cysteine containing peptide but 193 00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:39,260 without the histidine there's no trend 194 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:40,969 so that means histidine is the major 195 00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:46,480 contributor and sustain is not so 196 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:48,790 finally I would like to go into the 197 00:08:53,380 --> 00:08:49,970 ms/ms 198 00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:53,390 a process so this process easier is to 199 00:08:59,230 --> 00:08:56,720 basically cut the peptide bond of a 200 00:09:01,960 --> 00:08:59,240 specific peak so you can pick a peak 201 00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:01,970 do the ms/ms and see what's of a peptide 202 00:09:08,199 --> 00:09:04,070 fragment you can get out of these Peaks 203 00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:08,209 and if you do that against for example a 204 00:09:16,030 --> 00:09:13,550 135 mm / z which should contain 140 205 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:16,040 different isomer with this composition 206 00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:18,170 of amino acids you end up getting these 207 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,779 three major peptides so if you look at 208 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:22,399 these major peptides that are detected 209 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:25,130 they all Harbor histidine at the 210 00:09:29,230 --> 00:09:25,930 c-terminus 211 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:29,240 one adjacent to the first tyrosine and 212 00:09:33,010 --> 00:09:31,010 then there are 2 histidines in the 213 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:33,020 middle and there seems to be some sort 214 00:09:38,290 --> 00:09:36,110 of a pattern here starting to emerge the 215 00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:38,300 same thing feature was also found in 216 00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:41,380 when I when we did the MSM s against 881 217 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:45,110 which contains 420 different isomer 218 00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:48,410 but then narrowing down to 3 we still 219 00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:50,120 haven't finished detecting all the peaks 220 00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:52,820 yet but even though when we look at 221 00:09:57,370 --> 00:09:55,190 these first three that are most major we 222 00:09:59,470 --> 00:09:57,380 also see the same pattern having the 223 00:10:02,139 --> 00:09:59,480 histidine on the C terminus and now 224 00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:02,149 replacing the center with the cysteine 225 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:03,860 so you have the cysteine is always 226 00:10:08,110 --> 00:10:06,410 consistent showing up in this region now 227 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:08,120 what do we see from what do we learn 228 00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:09,010 from this 229 00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:11,990 so actually what biology is doing is 230 00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:13,670 when you look at the iron sulfur cluster 231 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:18,440 protein the c XX c or c xh or c XX h 232 00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:21,170 motif always appears so it seems like 233 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:24,079 the coordination that biology uses to 234 00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:26,529 actually capture the iron sulphides 235 00:10:32,199 --> 00:10:29,990 actually does seem to work or at least 236 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:32,209 enhance enriched in these iron sulfide 237 00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:34,880 mineral absorbed peptides so here are 238 00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:37,790 the conclusions so we did the mal DMS 239 00:10:42,490 --> 00:10:39,560 type approach in order to probe the 240 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:42,500 sequence types in sequence space of the 241 00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:44,180 peptides are specific to certain types 242 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:46,430 of minerals and histidine seems to be 243 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:49,610 the most prominent amino acids that are 244 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:52,490 found in the absorbed peptides no trend 245 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:54,050 was found from in the sustain and 246 00:10:58,810 --> 00:10:56,810 composition however when we look at the 247 00:11:00,460 --> 00:10:58,820 sequence level we start to see these 248 00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,470 cysteine residues showing up in a 249 00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:02,240 specific position so that's something 250 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:03,950 that we need to understand even further 251 00:11:08,530 --> 00:11:06,800 and so for the future work we can try 252 00:11:11,079 --> 00:11:08,540 the histidine negative random peptides 253 00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:11,089 just to see maybe the surface is already 254 00:11:14,739 --> 00:11:12,889 coded by the histidine containing 255 00:11:16,479 --> 00:11:14,749 dice so what happens if we remove all 256 00:11:18,189 --> 00:11:16,489 those cans cysteines start to become 257 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:18,199 dominant that's something that we want 258 00:11:22,689 --> 00:11:20,689 to understand the other is using sulfur 259 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:22,699 bake vacant pyrite surface there's been 260 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:24,889 studies showing that the sulfur vacant 261 00:11:29,499 --> 00:11:27,170 surface of an iron sulfide can actually 262 00:11:32,019 --> 00:11:29,509 absorb cysteine so maybe that's another 263 00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,029 factor that we need to think about 264 00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,160 consider and with that I would like to 265 00:11:39,489 --> 00:11:36,079 thank all my collaborators Christine 266 00:11:41,710 --> 00:11:39,499 Johnson from LC that I saw was also from 267 00:11:44,849 --> 00:11:41,720 LC but recently moved to gem stack 268 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:44,859 ksama song is he's a great mass spec 269 00:11:51,099 --> 00:11:49,519 person he's a master of mass spec but he 270 00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:51,109 recently moved to this lab that makes 271 00:11:56,530 --> 00:11:54,350 the peptide so we're in good shape and 272 00:12:04,199 --> 00:11:56,540 with that I would like to thank my 273 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:06,729 great thank you very much we have time 274 00:12:22,479 --> 00:12:12,160 for one question and let's go with the 275 00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:22,489 yes only one pick one that's a very good 276 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,110 question but well I think what will 277 00:12:28,299 --> 00:12:26,480 happen is peptide will win against amino 278 00:12:31,409 --> 00:12:28,309 acids so if you compare a single mean 279 00:12:33,909 --> 00:12:31,419 ASUS to a dipeptidyl tripeptide 280 00:12:36,669 --> 00:12:33,919 typically the longer the peptide is the 281 00:12:39,309 --> 00:12:36,679 more stronger they bound to the surface 282 00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:39,319 so that means the free energy have sorry 283 00:12:44,229 --> 00:12:41,600 the free mean acid have no chance but I 284 00:12:46,859 --> 00:12:44,239 haven't tested mixing for example two 285 00:12:48,789 --> 00:12:46,869 different chain lengths polymer and 286 00:12:51,369 --> 00:12:48,799 maybe that's an interesting way to 287 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:51,379 actually look at whether longer peptide 288 00:12:56,169 --> 00:12:52,730 can actually win against the others 289 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:56,179 thank you all right thank you very much
