Abstract:
:Ricin is a type II ribosome-inactivating protein toxin consisting of A and B chains linked by one interchain disulfide bond. Because of its high toxicity depending on both chains together, confirming the presence of both A and B chains of intact ricin is required during the investigation of the illegal production and application. Here, we report a novel and sensitive acetonitrile (ACN)-assisted trypsin digestion method for unambiguous identification of intact ricin by simultaneous detection of its marker peptides from A and B chains. Marker peptides were generated with a simple procedure by direct cleaving the native ricin at 45 °C for 4 h using Promega modified sequencing grade trypsin under the assistance of 10% ACN, and then directly analyzed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The type of trypsin was found to be one critical factor for cleavage of intact ricin based on a significant difference in the yields of specific peptides generated while using various types of trypsin. A low content of ACN in enzymatic buffer significantly reduced the digestion time from overnight to 4 h. There was commonly a better MS response of marker peptides when using the developed ACN-assisted trypsin digestion method than methanol-assisted trypsin digestion within the same 4 h. Totally, seven specific peptides with high sensitivity and specificity including three in the A-chain (TA7, TA11, and TA10) and four in the B-chain (TB6, TB14-ss-TB16, TB20, and TB18) were obtained as good marker peptides for unambiguous identification of intact ricin. The lowest concentration of native ricin for unambiguous identification was 20 ng/mL, in which three marker peptides from both the A-chain and B-chain could be measured with a minimum of three ion transitions. Combined with affinity enrichment, the developed approach was successfully applied for the measurement of intact ricin from the complicated matrix samples of the second, third, and fourth biotoxin exercises organized by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). This study has provided a recommended detection method combined with one novel ACN-assisted trypsin digestion with MS for forensic unambiguous confirmation of trace ricin intact with high confidence.
