Highly Reproducible Label Free Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of RNA Polymerase Complexes

The use of quantitative proteomics methods to study protein complexes has the potential to provide in-depth information on the abundance of different protein components as well as their modification state in various cellular conditions. To interrogate protein complex quantitation using shotgun proteomic methods, we have focused on the analysis of protein complexes using label-free multidimensional protein identification technology and studied the reproducibility of biological replicates. For these studies, we focused on three highly related and essential multi-protein enzymes, RNA polymerase I, II, and III from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that label-free quantitation using spectral counting is highly reproducible at the protein and peptide level when analyzing RNA polymerase I, II, and III. In addition, we show that peptide sampling does not follow a random sampling model, and we show the need for advanced computational models to predict peptide detection probabilities. In order to address these issues, we used the APEX protocol to model the expected peptide detectability based on whole cell lysate acquired using the same multidimensional protein identification technology analysis used for the protein complexes. Neither method was able to predict the peptide sampling levels that we observed using replicate multidimensional protein identification technology analyses. In addition to the analysis of the RNA polymerase complexes, our analysis provides quantitative information about several RNAP associated proteins including the RNAPII elongation factor complexes DSIF and TFIIF. Our data shows that DSIF and TFIIF are the most highly enriched RNAP accessory factors in Rpb3-TAP purifications and demonstrate our ability to measure low level associated protein abundance across biological replicates. In addition, our quantitative data supports a model in which DSIF and TFIIF interact with RNAPII in a dynamic fashion in agreement with previously published reports.

The analysis of complex mixtures by shotgun proteomics provides a snapshot of the protein components of the cell under various cellular conditions. Many proteomics studies have focused on the characterization of the protein content from highly complex mixtures such as nuclear extract from diverse organisms. Although these studies provide a wealth of information, the analysis of purified protein complexes has the potential to not only identify differential protein expression, but also to identify differentially interacting proteins and post-translational modifications that are present at undetectable levels in large-scale analyses. There have been several studies that analyze protein complexes using quantitative proteomic methods, however many of these studies have relied on binary quantitative values (presence or absence) rather than using methods that rely on discrete values (1.Krogan N.J.

Yeast and other higher eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases known as RNA polymerase I, II, and III that are mainly responsible for the transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA), respectively. Each complex has a unique subunit composition with RNAPII containing 12 subunits, RNAPI containing 14 subunits, and RNAPIII containing 17 subunits; which is thought to contribute to their different target specificities. Five RNAP subunits, Rpb5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 are found in all three enzymes (for review, see (4.Cramer P. Armache K.J. Baumli S. Benkert S. Brueckner F. Buchen C. Damsma G.E. Dengl S. Geiger S.R.
