Beyond the genetic code, the human proteome is greatly diversified by genetic variations, alternative splicing of RNA transcripts, and post-translational modifications (PTMs). 6, 7 In 2013, the term “proteoform” was designated to describe “all of the different molecular forms in which the protein product of a single gene can be found”, 6 clearing up the confusion in nomenclature and joining research efforts to develop methodologies for proteoform characterization. Top-down proteomics, which analyzes intact proteins without digestion, has proved to be a premier mass spectrometry (MS) technology for global and comprehensive analysis of proteoforms. 4, 8, 9 The top-down approach retains intact protein mass information, providing a “bird’s-eye” view of the proteome and allowing for identification of novel proteoforms, in-depth sequence characterization, and quantitation of disease-associated PTMs. 4, 8, 9 Although some technical challenges remain, development over the past 5 years has expanded top-down proteomics from a mostly targeted approach to one capable of proteoform-profiling across multiple samples. 9 Now, thousands of proteoforms can be identified, characterized, and quantified using high-throughput top-down proteomics approaches. 10, 11 Moreover, developments in instrumentation and fragmentation have positioned top-down proteomics in the fast lane for future progression. 12 With the successful development of commercial high-resolution mass spectrometers such as the solariX XR Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)(Bruker), 13 Orbitraps (Thermo), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOFs)(Bruker and Waters), these instruments are now widely available in academic and industrial laboratories for top-down proteomics. Moreover, the 21 T FTICR mass spectrometers equipped with state-of-the-art fragmentation methods at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have demonstrated unprecedented resolving power, acquisition rate, and flexible tandem MS (MS/MS) capabilities, providing enormous potential for top-down proteomics practitioners to probe complicated proteomics applications. 14, 15 Reciprocally, the methodological and technological gains from developing large-scale and high-throughput workflow have further empowered targeted analysis, from which top-down proteomics roots and thrives. As a result, interest in top-down MS has grown considerably and many studies have already underscored the potential of top-down proteomics for unraveling disease mechanisms and discovering novel biomarkers. 4, 8, 16, 17 A number of recent reviews have already given an overview of the technical requirements for top-down proteomics and delineated the history and fundamentals of the field as well as its application to biomedical research. 4, 8, 9, 18− 20 With a special emphasis on publications in the past 2 years (2015− 2017), this review examines recent technological trends and developments in the areas of intact protein sample preparation, separation, MS/MS, data acquisition strategies, data analysis, native MS, and quantitation. We also highlight recent applications for global and targeted top-down proteomics applications and conclude with outlooks in the field.
