Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Reference: I36031WO Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for identifying the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in a sample. [Background technology]
[0002] Proteins are biological polymers composed of sequences of amino acids. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins. This allows for the identification and quantification of proteins. In the field of proteomics, there are several established methods for determining the presence or absence of proteins in a sample. Determining the presence or absence of a subproteome or proteome in a sample is difficult because it involves the sequential identification of all proteins. Some proteomics methods allow for the quantification of the concentration or amount of a single protein in a sample.
[0003] The most common method for identifying the presence of proteins in a sample is mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions present in a sample. The mass spectrum of a sample is a plot of ion signals as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Using this spectrum, the isotopic signature and particle mass of the sample are determined, and these are used to provide the chemical attributes or structure of chemical compounds. However, mass spectrometry is labor-intensive and inherently inequal, as various peptides are ionized and detected with varying efficiencies. To counteract this, approaches such as isotope-encoded affinity tags (ICAT) are used, but these can only quantify a subset of the proteins being identified. Most quantitative mass spectrometry approaches can only determine relative changes in protein concentration or quantity between samples, rather than providing absolute quantification of the sample. Mass spectrometry proteomics also has limited coverage, especially for higher organisms. Top-down mass spectrometry proteomics, which analyzes the entire protein, allows for the identification of only 10% of the protein studied, while bottom-up mass spectrometry proteomics, which analyzes the protein after it has been digested into fragments, allows for the identification of 8-25% of the protein studied. Due to the complexity of the resulting mass spectra, mixtures and complex samples must be separated into their components, for example, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), before they can be analyzed sequentially by mass spectrometry.
[0004] An alternative approach to identifying the presence of proteins is to use protein microarrays. Protein microarrays immobilize an array of proteins or probes onto a support surface and are particularly suitable for multiple detection. Tagged probes or tagged proteins are added to the array, and the binding interaction between the protein and probe is detected. However, protein microarrays are labor-intensive and suffer from problems with reproducibility and accuracy. Since detection requires a binding event near the surface, the binding event (i.e., the accuracy of detection) can be affected by the surface. Furthermore, this method can only identify proteins for which a corresponding probe (e.g., a specific antibody) is already available.
[0005] For example, several methods, such as Zhang et al., “Top-down proteomics on a microfluidic platform” (2019), eprint 1910.11861 arXiv physics.bio-ph, aim to identify proteins through physical parameters characteristic of proteins. In this microfluidic method, the hydrodynamic radius (R) of the protein is the size of the protein in solution. H ) is used along with the ratio of fluorescent signals from Trp / Lys and Tyr / Lys residues within the protein for protein identification. Lysine (Lys) residues are fluorescently labeled, while tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues are not labeled. Seven known proteins are measured four times, and a protein is identified when the value obtained from the fourth protein measurement matches the values obtained from the other three protein measurements of that protein. The measured values have been shown to be characteristic of known proteins under a certain set of experimental conditions in that the measured proteins are distinguishable from one another based on these values, but none of the values can predict the protein of interest. For amino acid sequences that are unknown and often partially intrinsically disordered, R HIt is not possible to predict this. Those skilled in the art will understand that the innate fluorescence from tryptophan and tyrosine residues depends in a complex way on the local physical environment surrounding the tryptophan and tyrosine residues within the protein structure, which cannot currently be predicted from the amino acid sequence. Therefore, R H The Trp and Tyr signals all change with solution conditions; for example, different readings will be obtained for the same protein if the protein is placed in different buffers or interacts with other biomolecules. This method cannot quantify proteins because none of the values used for protein identification provide information about the amount or concentration of the protein. Due to the unpredictable nature of the results obtained, this method cannot be used to analyze proteins or mixtures of proteomes.
[0006] Alternatively, cutting-edge techniques include newly developed protein sequencing methods such as those described by Swaminathan, J et al. Nat Biotechnology 36, 1076-1082 (2018). Sparse fluorosequencing involves performing classical Edman decomposition sequencing on a single peptide fragment molecule that is fluorescently labeled on specific amino acids before immobilization on a surface, and observing the pattern of fluorescence disappearance from the surface as the fluorescently labeled amino acids are sequentially cleaved from the N-terminus of the peptide. The fluorescence decrease pattern reveals the position of the labeled amino acids within the peptide being read, providing a sparse peptide sequence. These sparse peptide sequences can be used to predict the target protein based on information-rich constraints regarding protease cleavage specificity, surface connectivity chemistry, labeling chemistry, and the position of the labeled amino acids within the predicted peptide fragment for the target protein. In practice, this labor-intensive and data-intensive method is prone to errors due to various causes, and correct readings are observed approximately 40% of the time for a single purified peptide. Quantification of this method has not been evaluated. This method relies on coupling with chromatographic and / or mass spectrometry separation methods such as HPLC to first verify that all amino acids (e.g., all lysine and all cysteine amino acids) are quantitatively fluorescently labeled within each peptide fragment, and then performs sequencing. Peptide fragments within a two-component mixture are identified, which requires that the peptide fragments are spatially separated from each other via surface connections at different locations on the surface, resulting in the observation of separate fluorescence disappearance trajectories for each peptide. Similar to conventional Edman sequencing, this method is slow, requiring one hour per Edman cycle, and is unsuitable for analyzing N-terminally modified peptides or reading peptide fragments longer than 30 amino acids. Due to its reliance on Edman sequencing, this method is considered better suited to identifying shorter peptides than longer protein molecules. The average length of a protein molecule in the human proteome is 558 amino acids.This method cannot be used to analyze a mixture of proteins or proteomes.
[0007] There is a recognized need for the development of simple and general alternative methods for protein identification based on mass spectrometry, enabling the identification of the entire protein as the target protein. There is also a recognized need for efficient methods to characterize complex mixtures of proteins, such as mixtures of disease-related proteins. A rapid and general method for diagnosing any infection is greatly needed. Preferably, these methods would allow for the quantification of proteins. Therefore, there is a need for more efficient, cost-effective, and general methods to identify the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in a sample. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0008] This invention is based on the discovery that by labeling and measuring two or more amino acid types in a sample, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in the sample can be identified. This is based on the measured label, amino acid concentration, or number of each labeled amino acid type in the sample. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] It has been discovered that each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome has a unique signature based on two or more amino acid type label values, amino acid concentrations, or the number of amino acids for each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome at each concentration.
[0010] The signatures of the label values or amino acid concentrations for two or more amino acid types of a protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome are unique to each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome at each concentration. The signatures of the number of amino acids for two or more amino acid types of a protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome are also unique to each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome.
[0011] Therefore, by comparing the signature of a sample with the signature of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in the sample can be identified.
[0012] The signatures of known label values or amino acid concentrations of two or more amino acid types in a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome are a function of the concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, and are unique to each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome at each concentration. Therefore, by comparing the measured label values or amino acid concentrations of two or more amino acid types in a sample with the known label values or amino acid concentrations of the same two or more amino acid types labeled in the sample for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, it is possible to provide a positive identification of the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample. The signature of the number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types in a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is unique to each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. Therefore, the number of each of the two or more amino acid types in a sample can be compared to the number of amino acids of the same two or more amino acid types labeled in the sample for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome to provide a positive identification of its presence in the sample.
[0013] In some embodiments, this comparison can be visualized using n-dimensional space, where the number of dimensions is equal to the number of n different amino acid types labeled and measured by the method of the present invention. For example, two labeled amino acid types are visualized in two-dimensional space, and three labeled amino acid types are visualized in three-dimensional space. This dimensional space increases as each additional amino acid type is labeled and measured in the sample. The amino acid concentrations or label values of two or more amino acid types form a straight line in n-dimensional space. The number of each amino acid in two or more amino acid types forms a point in n-dimensional space. For n labeled amino acid types in the sample, n dimensions exist.
[0014] We have discovered that in order to identify the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in a sample, it is necessary to label two or more amino acid types, measure amino acid concentrations, or measure only the number of amino acids. Labeling and measuring two or more amino acid types is essential to the method of the present invention because when two or more amino acid types are labeled and measured, they provide a unique signature for each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. If only one amino acid type is labeled and measured, all target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes will have the same baseline; therefore, it is necessary to label and measure two amino acid types. By comparing a sample point with p lines representing p types of target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, the function of each concentration, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample are simultaneously determined. In this solution-phase method, the amount of protein contained in the sample is determined simply by multiplying the concentration of the identified protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample by the volume of solution in the sample. It is not necessary or efficient to measure labeling, amino acid concentration, or number of amino acids for every amino acid type in the sample.
[0015] All target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, and proteomes have a unique signature of two or more known amino acid types, their label values, amino acid concentrations, or number of amino acids. To determine the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of members of a target category (i.e., protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, mixture, subproteome, or proteome) in a sample, it is not necessary to know, or suspect, which category of molecules the sample contains. For example, two or more labeled amino acid types in a sample are tryptophan (W) and lysine (K). The measured label of tryptophan (W) is used to determine the concentration of tryptophan (W) in the sample, and the measured label of lysine (K) is used to determine the concentration of lysine (K) in the sample. The sample contains 10.9 μM of W and 27.9 μM of K. The sample is identified for the target protein, chicken egg white lysozyme, and the target proteome, HIV. Chicken egg white lysozyme has 6W and 6K amino acids per protein sequence, while HIV has 10.9W and 27.9K amino acids per protein sequence. The absence of chicken egg white lysozyme in the sample is identified by the absence of the chicken egg white lysozyme protein concentration obtained when measuring the sample's signature. However, the signature of the sample (10.9 μM W and 27.9 μM K) is the same as the signature of HIV (10.9 W and 27.9 K) at a protein concentration of 1 μM, thus identifying the presence of 1 μM of HIV in the sample.
[0016] The key is to compare the label, amino acid concentration, or number of each labeled amino acid type in the sample with known target values, amino acid concentrations, or amino acid numbers of the same amino acid type in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, rather than comparing the amino acid sequence in the sample with the amino acid sequence in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. Other state-of-the-art methods for peptide or protein identification require determining the amino acid sequence within the peptide or protein sequence of the sample.
[0017] Two or more amino acid types in a sample are labeled. An amino acid type is defined by an R group (i.e., a side chain). The R group is specific to each amino acid type. The R group of one amino acid type is distinguishable from the R group of any other amino acid type. For example, the R group for tryptophan (W) is an indole group. Every W amino acid has an indole group. Therefore, the W amino acid type is defined by an indole R group. In another example, the R group for lysine (K) is an ε-primary amino group. Every K amino acid has this ε-primary amino group. Therefore, the K amino acid type is defined by an ε-primary amino R group. In yet another example, the R group for tyrosine (Y) is a phenol group. Every Y amino acid has a phenol group. Therefore, the Y amino acid type is defined by a phenol R group. The R group of amino acid type W is distinguishable from the R group of amino acid type K and amino acid type Y. Therefore, amino acid type W is distinguishable from amino acid type K and amino acid type Y because the R group differs between these amino acid types. All amino acid types are distinguishable from one another by their specific R groups. In some embodiments, one amino acid type is labeled independently of other amino acid types. In some embodiments, this is the R group of each amino acid in the labeled amino acid type. In some embodiments, each R group (i.e., each amino acid type) has a unique label, so each R group (i.e., each amino acid type) is labeled independently of other R groups (i.e., other amino acid types). In some embodiments, two or more R groups (i.e., two or more amino acid types) are labeled with the same label, but each labeled R group (i.e., each labeled amino acid type) is detected in a different way than another labeled R group (i.e., another labeled amino acid type). In some embodiments, each label targets a particular amino acid type. In some embodiments, each label is specific to a particular amino acid type.
[0018] In some embodiments, two or more amino acid types are selected from alanine (A), arginine (R), asparagine (N), aspartic acid (D), cysteine (C), glutamic acid (E), glutamine (Q), glycine (G), histidine (H), isoleucine (I), leucine (L), lysine (K), methionine (M), phenylalanine (F), proline (P), pyrrolidine (S), selenocysteine (O), threonine (T), tryptophan (W), tyrosine (Y), and valine (V), or synthetic amino acids. In some embodiments, the amino acid type includes modified amino acids and / or unmodified amino acids. In some embodiments, the amino acid type includes modified amino acids. In some embodiments, the amino acid type includes unmodified amino acids. In some embodiments, the amino acid type includes both modified and unmodified amino acids. In some embodiments, when both modified and unmodified amino acids of a given amino acid type are labeled, the modified amino acid is first converted to the unmodified amino acid.
[0019] In some embodiments, proteins in a sample are fluorescently labeled with molecules that "turn on" to fluorescence only after reaction with the desired amino acid type. Therefore, separation of the labeled amino acids from the unreacted dye is not necessary, as the unreacted dye is not fluorescent and does not provide a signal. Other state-of-the-art methods for peptide or protein identification require the separation of labeled amino acids from the unreacted dye before peptide or protein identification can be performed.
[0020] The label of each labeled amino acid type in the sample is measured. For example, if there are two or more labeled amino acid types in the sample, such as tryptophan (W) and lysine (K), the label of tryptophan (W) is measured, and the label of lysine (K) is measured.
[0021] In some embodiments, the measured label of each amino acid type is used to calculate the concentration of that labeled amino acid type and / or the number of amino acids of that labeled amino acid type in the sample. The measured label of each amino acid type may be linearly related to the concentration of the amino acid type, the number of amino acids of that amino acid type, and the concentration of the sample. For example, if there are two or more labeled amino acid types in the sample, such as tryptophan (W) and lysine (K), the label of tryptophan (W) is measured, and the label of lysine (K) is measured. The measured label of tryptophan (W) is used to calculate the amino acid concentration of tryptophan (W) and / or the number of tryptophan (W) amino acids and / or the concentration of the sample. The measured label of tryptophan is linearly related to the concentration of tryptophan amino acids, the number of tryptophan amino acids, and the concentration of the sample. The measured label of lysine (K) is used to calculate the amino acid concentration of lysine (K) and / or the number of lysine (K) amino acids and / or the concentration of the sample. The measured label of lysine is linearly related to the concentration of lysine, the number of lysine amino acids, and the protein concentration of the sample.
[0022] In some embodiments, a calibration curve or standard is used to convert the measured label (e.g., signal) value to the amino acid concentration for each of two or more labeled amino acid types in the sample. The calibration curve or standard shows how the instrument's response changes using known concentrations of the analyte. The standard or calibration curve provides label values for one or more known amino acid concentrations for each amino acid type. This conversion can be applied to a sample or to a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. For example, the calibration curve for amino acid type tryptophan (W) is used to determine the known label value for a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome at an amino acid concentration of 10 μM W by multiplying this amino acid concentration by 100.

[0023] In some embodiments, the number of amino acids of each labeled amino acid type in a sample is calculated by dividing the concentration of each labeled amino acid type by the molar protein concentration of the sample. Therefore, in order to use the value of the number of amino acids in the sample, it is necessary to know the molar protein concentration of the sample. In this embodiment, the positive identification of the presence of a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample can be based on the number of amino acids of each labeled amino acid type in the sample.
[0024] When the amino acid concentrations or known label values of n amino acids for a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome are plotted as a function of their concentrations, a line is provided in n-dimensional space, from which the concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample can be determined using the equation of the line. In some embodiments, the line starts at the origin. In alternative embodiments, the line includes amino acid concentrations or known label values corresponding to concentrations within a known concentration range. The amino acid concentrations or measured labels for labeled amino acid types in the sample become points in n-dimensional space. By comparing the points of the sample with the line in n-dimensional space, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample can be determined.
[0025] For example, if there are four target proteins (protein-A, protein-B, protein-C, and protein-D) represented in two-dimensional space, dimensions 1 and 2 are the label values for cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W), respectively. The cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W) amino acid forms are labeled in the sample and measured. Figure 1 plots the measured target values of the cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W) amino acid forms labeled in the sample, which are represented as points in two-dimensional space, against the known label values of cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W), which are represented as lines in two-dimensional space, for each of the four target proteins. The known label values of the cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W) amino acid forms are plotted as a function of the protein concentration for the target proteins, protein-A, protein-B, protein-C, and protein-D. The known label values represent separate lines in two-dimensional space for each of the four target proteins.
[0026] In some embodiments, this line is a baseline. In Figure 1, each point on the baseline for each of the four target proteins corresponds to the concentration of the respective target protein. As the protein concentration of the target protein increases, the known label values for each amino acid type provided by the baseline move further away from its origin. The point corresponding to a 1 μM concentration of each target protein is shown as a shaded circle. The label values for each cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W) amino acid type in the sample are measured and these points are shown as white squares. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the sample point and each baseline is calculated.
[0027] In some embodiments, the sample point is located on a baseline for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. The presence of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample is identified, and the concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is such that the measured label value or amino acid concentration of each of the two or more labeled amino acid types in the sample is equivalent to the known label value or amino acid concentration of each of the same two or more amino acid types that have been previously labeled in the sample.
[0028] In other embodiments, the sample point is not on the baseline, and the distance between the sample point and the reference line is calculated. In some embodiments, this distance is the length of a vector or line segment relative to the baseline connecting the sample point and the baseline. The sample point is closest to a single point on the baseline for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, and corresponds to the amino acid concentrations or known label values of n different amino acid types for a single concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome.
[0029] In some embodiments, the presence of a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is identified in the sample if the distance between the sample point and the nearest point on a baseline for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is less than or equal to a tolerance. In some embodiments, the tolerance is a distance threshold. If the presence of a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is identified in the sample, it is present at the protein concentration of the nearest point on the baseline to the sample point.
[0030] In Figure 1, the shortest distance between the sample point and the four baselines corresponding to the four target proteins was the distance between the sample point and the baseline for protein-B. The presence of protein-B, the target protein, in the sample is identified. Each point on the baseline for protein-B, the target protein, indicates the cysteine (C) and tryptophan (W) amino acid type labels for distinct protein concentrations of protein-B, the target protein. The sample is identified as the protein concentration at the point on the protein-B baseline that provided the smallest distance. Here, the protein concentration of the sample is 0.5 μM. Thus, the positive identification of protein-B, the target protein, in the sample can be made, and the concentration of protein-B, the target protein, at 0.5 μM in the sample is simultaneously determined.
[0031] In some embodiments, if the molar protein concentration of a sample is known and therefore the number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types in the sample is available, the number of amino acids of the same two corresponding amino acid types is plotted in n-dimensional space to provide a point for each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes. For each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, there is only one point. Thus, the points in the sample can be compared to the points for each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, and if the points in the sample are the same as the points for the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, the presence of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is identified in the sample. In some embodiments, the distance between a sample point and a point for each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes can be calculated, and the presence of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is identified in the sample if the distance between the sample point and the point for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is less than or equal to the tolerance.
[0032] In some embodiments, if the measured label and / or amino acid concentration and / or number of each labeled amino acid type in the sample is equivalent to, or within an acceptable margin of error, known label values and / or amino acid concentrations and / or numbers of the same amino acid type previously labeled in the sample within the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample can be positively identified. For example, if the amino acid concentrations of tryptophan (W) amino acid and lysine (K) amino acid in a sample are equivalent to, or within an acceptable margin of error for, the amino acid concentrations of tryptophan (W) amino acid and lysine (K) amino acid in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, then the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample can be positively identified.
[0033] In some embodiments, the minimum distance is calculated between the measured label values, amino acid concentrations, or number of amino acids of two or more labeled amino acid types in a sample and the known label values, amino acid concentrations, or number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types provided for the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, and this distance is compared to a tolerance.
[0034] In some embodiments, the reference is a set of known label values, amino acid concentrations, and / or amino acid numbers for two or more amino acid types provided for each of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. In some embodiments, the reference is obtained from a database. Alternatively, the reference can be calculated.
[0035] Each unit of each labeled amino acid type in the sample (i.e., the measured label, amino acid concentration, and / or number of amino acids) must be compared to the same unit of the same amino acid type (i.e., known label value, amino acid concentration, and / or number of amino acids) in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference). For example, if the number of amino acids W and Y is determined in the sample, the unit (number of amino acids) in the sample must be compared to the number of amino acids W and Y in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference), so as to the same unit (number of amino acids) in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference). If the amino acid concentrations of W and Y are determined in a sample, the unit (amino acid concentration) of the sample must be compared to the same unit (amino acid concentration) of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference). If the measured labels of W and Y in the sample are not used to determine the amino acid concentrations or number of amino acids of W and Y in the sample, the measured labels of W and Y in the sample must be compared to the same unit (known label value) of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference). For example, the measured fluorescence intensities of W and Y in a sample are compared to the known fluorescence intensities of W and Y in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (e.g., reference).
[0036] In some embodiments, if the units measured for a sample (i.e., measured label, amino acid concentration, and / or number of amino acids) differ from the units of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome (i.e., known label value, amino acid concentration, and / or number of amino acids), the units of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome are converted to the same units measured for the sample. In some embodiments, the number of amino acids of a specific amino acid type in one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes is multiplied by the concentration of the protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome to provide the amino acid concentration of each amino acid type in the target one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes. For example, if the amino acid concentrations of W and Y are measured in a sample, the number of W and Y amino acids in one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes is converted to the corresponding amino acid concentrations of W and Y in each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. This makes it possible to compare the units of the sample with the same units of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. In other words, it becomes possible to compare the measured amino acid concentrations of W and Y in the sample with the amino acid concentrations of W and Y in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome.
[0037] In some embodiments, the known label values, amino acid concentrations, and / or number of amino acids of the corresponding amino acid types in one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest are calculated from any experimental information relating to one or more amino acid sequences and / or post-translational modifications of each of the proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest. In some embodiments, the number of amino acids of each amino acid type previously labeled in a sample of one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest is calculated using any experimental information relating to the amino acid sequences and / or post-translational modifications of each of the proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest. For example, if two or more labeled amino acid types in a sample are tryptophan (W) and lysine (K), the number of tryptophan (W) amino acids and lysine (K) amino acids in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is calculated from one or more protein sequences of that target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. For example, if two or more labeled amino acid types in a sample are tryptophan (W) and lysine (K), and the target protein in the sample is bovine serum albumin, the number of tryptophan (W) and lysine (K) amino acids in the amino acid sequence of bovine serum albumin is calculated as 2W and 59K from the amino acid sequence of bovine serum albumin. As another example, if the target protein has three post-translational modifications on the lysine (K) amino acids that prevent these lysine amino acids from reacting to the label by the method disclosed herein, -3 is added to the number of lysine amino acids in this target protein.
[0038] In some embodiments, the amino acid sequences of one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest are known (e.g., obtained from a database). In some embodiments, the amino acid sequences of one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest are determined using standard techniques of the art (e.g., Edman degradation or mass spectrometry).
[0039] In some embodiments, the number of amino acids of two or more labeled amino acid types in one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes is determined using a method disclosed herein. That is, two or more amino acid types are labeled, the labels are measured, and the measured labels are used to determine the number of amino acids of each amino acid type in one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, or the amino acid concentration of each amino acid type in a sample containing each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes. In this way, the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes whose amino acid sequences are unknown or not completely unknown can be determined.
[0040] In some embodiments, it is the number of each of two or more amino acid types in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, and not the order of each of the two or more amino acid types in the protein sequence, or the relative composition of each of the two or more amino acid types in the protein sequence, used to calculate the corresponding amino acid concentrations and / or known label values of these amino acid types in one or more concentrations of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome.
[0041] It has been found that known label values or unique amino acid concentration signatures for each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome can provide a set of vector functions or parametric equations depending on a common parameter of the concentration of each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. In some embodiments, this set of vector functions or parametric equations can be described and used to calculate a baseline disclosed herein, and the baseline can be quantitatively compared with a sample point to identify the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in the sample. The set of parametric equations describes a group of amounts as a function of a common independent variable called a parameter. Alternatively, the set of parametric equations can be expressed as an equivalent vector function, which can simplify subsequent calculations. By comparing the values of labels or amino acid concentrations of two or more labeled amino acid types measured in a sample with the values of known labels or amino acid concentrations of the same two or more amino acid types provided as a function of the (unknown) concentration of each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, it is possible to identify one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in a sample and simultaneously determine the concentration and / or amount of that target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample. Optionally, this can be achieved by constructing a set of vector functions or parametric equations that describe any target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome.
[0042] In some embodiments, a set of parametric equations provides signatures for the amino acid concentrations that can be measured for two or more amino acid types in a protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein complex of interest. The number of parametric equations describing a protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein complex of interest is the number of two or more amino acid types labeled and measured in the sample. The parametric equations describe the amino acid concentration of each of the two or more amino acid types labeled and measured in a sample of the protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein complex of interest as a function of concentration t. Set of parametric equations 1 is:

[0043] The set of parametric equations 1 can alternatively be described collectively as vector functions describing the same baseline or baseline curve. The representations are interchangeable. In this representation, vector function 1 is:

[0044] For example, there are two target proteins and one target protein complex. The first target protein is BSA. The K(a1), C(a2), and W(a3) amino acid types are labeled and measured in the sample. Since there are 59, 35, and 2 amino acid types for K, C, and W within the BSA protein sequence, respectively, a1=59, a2=35, and a3=2. The vector function that provides the amino acid concentration as a function of the BSA protein concentration is as follows:
number
number
[0045] Transthyretin is the target protein complex. Since all protein sequences containing the target protein complex contain 32, 4, and 8 amino acid types of K, C, and W amino acids, a1=32, a2=4, and a3=8 (sum of the number of amino acids in each of the four subunits of the protein complex). The vector function that provides the amino acid concentration as a function of transthyretin (TTR) concentration is as follows:
number
[0046] The vector equation for BSA provides a baseline for BSA in n-dimensional space (3-dimensional space, since three amino acid types are labeled and measured in the experiment), the vector equation for LYZ provides a baseline for LYZ in n-dimensional space, and the vector equation for TTR provides a baseline for TTR in n-dimensional space. These vector equations and their corresponding baselines are plotted in Figure 2 along with the sample point. To determine the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one of these target proteins or protein complexes in the sample, the distance between the sample point and each of the baselines provided for BSA, LYZ, and TTR is calculated and compared.
[0047] Previously, no method was available for identifying the entire proteome or subproteome within a sample. Identifying the proteome or subproteome within a sample required the separation of proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein complexes containing the proteome or subproteome, followed by the sequential identification of each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, and protein complex within the proteome or subproteome.
[0048] It has been found that it is not necessary to separate the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures of proteins in a sample in order to identify the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures and to determine the concentration or amount of the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures. It has also been found that it is not necessary to identify every protein in the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures in order to identify and determine the concentration or amount of the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures. Instead, it is only necessary to perform a single measurement of the amino acid concentration, label value, or number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types in the proteome, subproteome, or other mixtures contained in the sample.
[0049] The proteome or subproteome within a sample may be substituted for an average protein sequence, which is the weighted average of the number of amino acids in each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein complex sequence within the proteome or subproteome. It has been found that its concentration in the sample represents the total molar protein concentration of all proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, or protein complexes, including the proteome or subproteome. Since these signatures have been found to be unique to each proteome or subproteome, unseparated proteomes or subproteomes within a sample can be identified and quantified using this method. The order of amino acids within this average protein sequence is not calculated, and the number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types within any such average protein sequence is unique to all proteomes and subproteomes. For example, the number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types within any average protein sequence is unique to all known bacterial proteomes and all known viral proteomes (Figure 3). This is shown for 7,581 known bacterial reference proteomes and 9,377 known viral reference proteomes. The reference proteome is a complete proteome. Therefore, all known bacterial proteomes and all known viral proteomes have distinct signatures that can be readily detected in a sample using the method of the present invention without separating the proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, or protein complexes containing the proteome from one another. This is a counterintuitive result, because while the number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types in proteins, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein complexes within a proteome is expected to vary depending on the distribution, the average distribution for each proteome is expected to cluster around a single value determined by its biological function.Furthermore, the average number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types across the proteome does not follow the x=y=z trend, suggesting that this variability cannot be explained by differences in the average lengths of protein, oligopeptide, polypeptide, and protein complex sequences across the proteome.
[0050] Current methods for diagnosing infections such as SARS-CoV-2 infection rely on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the (generally quantitative) determination of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in patient samples. However, these tests have a 30% false-negative rate, which has significant implications for patient care, infection control, and modeling.
[0051] In addition to providing a novel approach for the rapid diagnosis of any infection, the method of the present invention can be applied to the identification of the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of subproteomes associated with the target disease in a patient sample. For example, the subproteome signature of type 1 diabetes can be identified and quantified in saliva. In some embodiments, the subproteome signature of human ovarian cancer, human pancreatic cancer, human prostate cancer, or human colorectal cancer can be identified and quantified in blood plasma samples. In some embodiments, the subproteome signature of human bladder cancer, human prostate cancer, or human kidney cancer can be identified and quantified in urine samples.
[0052] In some embodiments, when one or more sub-proteomes or proteomes are of interest, the number of amino acids of a particular amino acid type is the weighted average of the amino acids of that particular amino acid type across all proteins in the sub-proteome or proteome of interest. For example, if two or more labeled amino acid types in a sample are tryptophan (W) and lysine (K), and the proteome of interest in the sample is the SARS-CoV-2 proteome, the weighted average of tryptophan (W) and the weighted average of lysine (K) amino acids in the average amino acid sequence of all proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 proteome are calculated to be 11.3W and 60.6K from the amino acid sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 proteome.
[0053] It has been discovered that any proteome or sub-proteome of interest can be described by a set of parametric equations. In some embodiments, the parametric equations provide a signature of amino acid concentrations that can be measured for two or more amino acid types in the proteome or sub-proteome. A set of parametric equations according to a common parameter of concentration is set 2 of the parametric equations,

[0055] In some embodiments, the average number of each amino acid of the same two or more amino acid types previously labeled and measured in the sample within the target proteome or subproteome is the weighted average number of each amino acid of the same two or more amino acid types previously labeled and measured in the sample. In some embodiments, the weights of the weighted average are provided by the proportion of that protein sequence within the total number of protein sequences in the target proteome or subproteome. For example, the weighted average number of tryptophan (W) amino acids per proteome is equal to the product of a linear combination of the number of tryptophan amino acids per protein sequence multiplied by the proportion of that protein sequence within all protein sequences, including the target proteome or subproteome, and the weighted average number of lysine (K) amino acids per proteome is equal to the product of a linear combination of the number of tryptophan amino acids per protein sequence multiplied by the proportion of that protein sequence within all protein sequences, including the target proteome or subproteome.
[0056] The amino acid concentrations measured for two or more labeled amino acid types in the sample are compared with the amino acid concentrations of the same two or more amino acid types provided for one or more target proteomes or subproteomes. This makes it possible to identify the sample as one of the target proteomes or subproteomes, and to determine the concentration or amount of the target proteome or subproteome present in the sample.
[0057] In some embodiments, the concentration of each of two or more amino acid types is the concentration of its labeled amino acid type in each of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, or protein complexes. In some embodiments, the concentration of each of two or more amino acid types in each of the target proteomes or subproteomes is the total concentration of its labeled amino acid type across the proteins in the target proteome or subproteome. This is because the concentration of an amino acid type is equal to the average number of amino acids per sequence in the proteome multiplied by the total protein concentration of the proteome.
[0058] In many cases, the molar protein concentration of an unknown sample is unknown. This is because the standard method in the art is to measure the absorbance (A) of the sample. 280 ) Or, when used to determine the mass protein concentration, if the molecular weight of the sample is unknown, it cannot be converted to the molar protein concentration of the sample, and since the attributes of the sample are unknown, the molecular weight of the sample is unknown.
[0059] In some embodiments, the molar protein concentration of the sample is known. The known molar protein concentration of the sample is denoted as a constant SC. Therefore, the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome p is obtained. i However, if present in the sample, it is present at the molar protein concentration of the sample, so t=SC. The results for this special case are considered using an example from Set 1 of parametric equations.

[0060] In some embodiments, the amino acid concentrations of each of the two or more amino acid types of one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest are used to determine the corresponding label values for each of the same two or more amino acid types of the one or more proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes of interest using a set of parametric equations.
[0061] This is achieved by incorporating a calibration function or calibration coefficient that converts between the measured label for each amino acid type and the amino acid concentration for each amino acid type into a parametric equation that describes the amino acid concentration of any protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome of interest.
[0062] In some embodiments, the parametric equation provides a unique signature of the label value (e.g., label signal) for a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein complex as a function of its concentration t, using parametric equation 3.

[0065] The set of parametric equations in this embodiment can, alternatively, be described collectively using the vector function 4.

[0066] Therefore, a set of parametric equations, or vector functions, can be constructed for any protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome of interest based on one or more amino acid sequences of the protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome alone, describing the label values (e.g., signals) or unique signatures of amino acid concentrations of two or more amino acid types of the protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome of interest as a function of the concentration of the protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome of interest. For example, if only the labels of W and Y are measured in a sample and this has not been converted to the amino acid concentrations or numbers of the W and Y amino acid types in the sample, the number of W and Y amino acids in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is converted to the corresponding known label values of W and Y as a function of the unknown concentrations of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. This allows for comparison of the measured labels of W and Y in the sample with the known label values of W and Y in the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, and enables the determination of the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the sample. In some embodiments, no calculations are required for the signals measured for the sample.
[0067] It has been discovered that, from the vector form of a baseline or baseline curve for each target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, it is possible to directly calculate the concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, providing known labeled values or amino acid concentrations for two or more amino acid types that are closest to the corresponding two or more amino acid types labeled and measured in the sample (i.e., the distance between the sample point and the baseline is minimized).
[0068] This is achieved by finding the dot product of the direction of the reference line and the vector between the sample point and any point on the reference line, setting that dot product to a value equal to 0, and determining the density of the reference line that provides a perpendicular line between the sample point and the reference line. The dot product is a scalar number that represents the angular relationship between two vectors A and B, i.e.,

[0069] In some embodiments, if a sample point is below an acceptable error or distance threshold from more than one of the target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes, a mixture of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome is identified in the sample. If a component in the mixture constitutes a larger proportion of the mixture, its signature has a greater effect on the sample signature than the signature of a component that constitutes a smaller proportion of the mixture. The proportion of components in the mixture can also be utilized using the method of the present invention. The proportion of each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome in the mixture is calculated by comparing the distance between the sample and each protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome identified as being present in the sample, where a smaller distance indicates a larger proportion of the component in the mixture. In some embodiments, the calculated distance from the sample point to a baseline for each identified component of the mixture is compared. It is found that the proportion of each component in the mixture is determined by the reciprocal of the normalized distance for each identified component of the mixture. The maximum distance for all identified components is calculated and divided by the distance for each identified component. In some embodiments, the proportion of a identified component in the mixture is calculated by dividing its inversely normalized distance by the sum of the inversely normalized distances for all components in the mixture.
[0070] The method of the present invention does not require the order (i.e., position) of amino acids in the determined amino acid sequence to identify the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in a sample. The method of the present invention does not require the sequence of amino acids in the proteins in the determined sample to identify the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of one or more target proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, protein complexes, subproteomes, or proteomes in a sample.
[0071] The methods of the present invention can provide criteria for a target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome, described algebraically using the formulas disclosed herein. A variable (which is protein concentration) is present in the criteria. The criteria provide measurable amino acid concentrations or fluorescence intensities for any concentration of the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome. This feature makes it possible to quantify the target protein, peptide, oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein complex, subproteome, or proteome when identified. Therefore, the methods disclosed herein provide a quantitative technique.

[0823] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0824] [Figure 1] A schematic diagram is shown illustrating how the calculated unique signatures for target protein-A, target protein-B, target protein-C, and target protein-D vary as a function of the protein concentration of each target protein. A reference vector is provided for each target protein, and each point on the reference vector corresponds to the unique protein concentration of the target protein (e.g., 1 μM, black circle). The shortest distance from the sample point (white square) to each reference line is calculated to identify the presence of target protein-B in the sample. The concentration of target protein-B in the sample is the protein concentration of target protein-B that provided that shortest distance (e.g., 0.5 μM). [Figure 2] The reference lines in n-dimensional space are shown. Set 1 of parametric equations provides the following reference lines for BSA, LYZ, and TTR. Sample points are indicated by white circles. The method of the present invention involves determining the presence and / or concentration and / or amount of a target protein / protein complex in a sample based on a comparison of the distances between the sample points and each reference line. [Figure 3]This shows the unique signatures of the pathogenic proteome. (a) All 7,581 bacterial reference proteomes analyzed have unique signatures for known label values, amino acid concentrations, or average amino acid numbers across all proteins in the bacterial reference proteome. (b) Enlarged images showing the wide-ranging distribution of the average number of amino acids of two or more amino acid types within any average protein sequence. (c) All 9,377 viral reference proteomes analyzed have unique signatures for known label values, amino acid concentrations, or average amino acid numbers across all proteins in the viral reference proteome. (d) All 16,958 bacterial and viral reference proteomes analyzed have unique signatures for known label values, amino acid concentrations, or average amino acid numbers across all proteins in the bacterial and viral reference proteome. This makes it possible to identify the entire proteome in a sample without separation. [Figure 4] By analyzing the probability distribution of the leading digit in a set of numbers following Benford's Law, we demonstrate that the amino acid types in human plasma proteomes follow a predicted distribution. [Figure 5] Analysis of the probability distribution of the leading digits in a set of numbers following Benford's Law shows that the average number of amino acids across proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein subunits in the viral proteome deviates from the expected distribution, suggesting increased variability in this dataset compared to the human proteome. [Figure 6] Analysis of the probability distribution of the leading digits in a set of numbers following Benford's Law shows that the average number of amino acids across proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein subunits in the bacterial proteome deviates from the expected distribution, suggesting increased variability in this dataset compared to the human proteome. [Figure 7]This demonstrates that identifying the order of amino acids within a protein sequence in the human proteome is less efficient than identifying only the number of amino acids within the protein sequence. Identifying the order of two types of amino acids within a protein sequence does not add any additional information compared to identifying the order of only one type of amino acid within the protein sequence. [Figure 8] This demonstrates the effect of constraining baselines to known protein concentration ranges within the human plasma proteome. (a) Baseline for all 3263 proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein complexes within the human plasma proteome. (b) Bounded baseline for all 3263 proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein complexes within the human plasma proteome; the baselines are bounded by known concentration ranges of these proteins, peptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, and protein complexes within the human plasma proteome. [Figure 9] The method of the present invention allows access to and, with and without using protein concentration information compared to known protein concentration boundaries, the occurrence of a criterion referencing more than one protein of interest has been quantified across human plasma proteomes for various amino acid type combinations (C and W, K and W, K and Y, K and S, K and P, L and S, L and K, E and L, G and L, CK and W, CK and Y, LK and S, EG and K, EG and S, REP and T, and QLK and V). [Figure 10] Without applying any bounding or constraints to protein concentration or other classifications, when two amino acid types are labeled and compared, all criteria are distinguishable and specifically map to the target protein within most of the clinically relevant proteomes and subproteomes considered (SARS-CoV-2, HIV, Epstein-Barr, glioma), and do not correspond to multiple target proteins within the clinically relevant proteomes and subproteomes. [Figure 11](a) For protein sequences in human plasma proteome and (b) human salivary proteome, we will compare the information provided by all combinations of two amino acid types with the specificity of the standard. [Figure 12] This demonstrates that all reference bacterial proteomes (7581 reference proteomes) have an average number of amino acids within two amino acid types across the proteins in that proteome, which is distinct from all other average numbers of amino acids within two amino acid types across proteins in all other proteomes. [Figure 13] To label only two specific amino acid types within a target proteome, we demonstrate that bacterial and viral proteomes cluster together according to their lineage. Here, labeling of K and W amino acid types is provided, and clustering within the orders Corynebacteriaceae, Legionellales, Bacillales, Streptomycetaceae, and Mycoplasmataceae is shown. [Figure 14] This document describes the process for an unknown mixture of proteins. The properties of the mixture are unknown, and the protein concentrations in the mixture are also unknown. [Figure 15] State-of-the-art scaling methods still require knowledge of whether proteins are folded or unfolded and do not account for partial intrinsic dysregulation, thus demonstrating that hydrodynamic radius cannot be predicted based solely on protein sequence. [Figure 16] A schematic diagram showing the reaction between the amino acid forms of (a) tryptophan (W), (b) tyrosine (Y), (c) reduced cysteine (CR), (d) cysteine (C), and (e) lysine (K) and a fluorescent dye or a molecule that becomes fluorescent upon reaction with the shown amino acid forms. [Figure 17] The patient samples are shown compared to the SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A baselines for (a) C and K, (b) C and W, and (C) K and W. [Figure 18]This shows a calibration curve for converting background-corrected fluorescence intensity KFI from K amino acid forms in arbitrary units (AU) to amino acid concentrations [K] of K amino acid forms in μM. Nonlinear regression revealed that a polynomial fitting to the calibration curve was obtained with R² = 0.9987. [Figure 19] This shows a calibration curve for converting background-corrected fluorescence intensity C FI from C amino acid forms in arbitrary units (AU) to amino acid concentrations [C] in μM. Nonlinear regression revealed that a polynomial fit to the calibration curve was obtained with R² = 0.9886. [Figure 20] This shows a calibration curve for converting background-corrected fluorescence intensity W FI from W amino acid forms in arbitrary units (AU) to amino acid concentrations [W] of W amino acid forms in μM. Nonlinear regression revealed that a polynomial fitting to the calibration curve was obtained with R² = 0.9886. [Figure 21] When the average measured amino acid concentrations across three technical replicas of each experimentally measured patient PPP sample are plotted in N-dimensional space (4-dimensional space), the data will form a line in N-dimensional space, as predicted by the concept of the present invention. This conceptual line is shown by drawing a line through the dataset. To calculate the actual position and equation of the baseline defining the target PPP proteome, the K, C, W, and Y components of the vector function defining the target PPP proteome were experimentally calculated in the figure below. [Figure 22] This section describes how the coefficients (direction) of the K component of the experimental baseline were calculated for the target PPP and PRP proteomes. The measured amino acid molar concentrations of amino acid type K in μM were plotted against the measured total protein concentrations in μg / mL for each target proteome, and linear regression was performed. The linear regression was constrained to pass through the origin. [Figure 23]This section describes how the coefficients (directions) of the C component of the experimental baseline were calculated for the target PPP and PRP proteomes. The measured molar concentrations of amino acid type C in μM were plotted against the measured total protein concentrations in μg / mL for each target proteome, and linear regression was performed. The linear regression was constrained to pass through the origin. [Figure 24] This section describes how the coefficients (direction) of the W component of the experimental baseline were calculated for the target PPP and PRP proteomes. The measured amino acid molar concentrations of amino acid type W in μM were plotted against the measured total protein concentrations in μg / mL for each target proteome, and linear regression was performed. The linear regression was constrained to pass through the origin.
