Capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-ESI-MS/MS) has attracted attention recently for top-down proteomics because it can achieve highly efficient separation and very sensitive detection of proteins. However, separation window and sample loading volume of CZE need to be boosted for a better proteome coverage using CZE-MS/MS. Here, we present an improved CZE-MS/MS system that achieved a 180-min separation window and a 2-mu L sample loading volume for top-down characterization of protein mixtures. The system obtained highly efficient separation of proteins with nearly one million theoretical plates for myoglobin and enabled baseline separation of three different proteoforms of myoglobin. The CZE-MS/MS system identified 797 21 proteoforms and 258 7 proteins (n = 2) from an Escherichia coli (E. coli) proteome sample in a single run with only 250ng of proteins injected. The system still identified 449 +/- 40 proteoforms and 173 +/- 6 proteins (n = 2) from the E. coli sample when only 25ng of proteins were injected per run. Single-shot CZE-MS/MS analyses of zebrafish brain cerebellum (Cb) and optic tectum (Teo) regions identified 1730 +/- 196 proteoforms (n = 3) and 2024 +/- 255 proteoforms (n = 3), respectively, with only 500-ng proteins loaded per run. Label-free quantitative top-down proteomics of zebrafish brain Cb and Teo regions revealed significant differences between Cb and Teo regarding the proteoform abundance. Over 700 proteoforms from 131 proteins had significantly higher abundance in Cb compared to Teo, and these proteins were highly enriched in several biological processes, including muscle contraction, glycolytic process, and mesenchyme migration.
