| Popis: | Chemical science 13(39), 11680 - 11695 (2022). doi:10.1039/D2SC02794A Over half the proteins in the E. coli cytoplasm form homo or hetero-oligomeric structures. Experimentally determined structures are often considered in determining a protein's oligomeric state, but static structures miss the dynamic equilibrium between different quaternary forms. The problem is exacerbated in homo-oligomers, where the oligomeric states are challenging to characterize. Here, we re-evaluated the oligomeric state of 17 different bacterial proteins across a broad range of protein concentrations and solutions by native mass spectrometry (MS), mass photometry (MP), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), finding that most exhibit several oligomeric states. Surprisingly, some proteins did not show mass-action driven equilibrium between the oligomeric states. For approximately half the proteins, the predicted oligomeric forms described in publicly available databases underestimated the complexity of protein quaternary structures in solution. Conversely, AlphaFold multimer provided an accurate description of the potential multimeric states for most proteins, suggesting that it could help resolve uncertainties on the solution state of many proteins.
