Abstract
The systematic and in-depth study of phosphoproteome rely on highly reproducible and specific phosphopeptide enrichment methods. At present, a variety of enrichment methods have been developed based on different principles, and these methods often display different selectivity and specificity. It is therefore very important to select the most suitable enrichment method according to different research purposes. This review summarized the phosphopeptide enrichment based on affinity chromatography, immunoprecipitation, chemical derivatization, chromatography and other newly developed methods. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods, as well as the related optimization and improvement strategies, were discussed in detail. In addition, we also briefly summarized the progress of the combination of phosphopeptide enrichment and fractionation methods developed in recent years.

Abstract
Calcium is one of the important elements for human health. Calcium deficiencies can lead to numerous diseases. Calcium chelating peptides have shown potential application in the management of calcium deficiencies. Casein phosphopeptides (CPP) are phosphoseryl-containing fragments of casein by enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation during manufacture of milk products as well as during intestinal digestion. An increasing number of CPP with the ability to facilitate and enhance the bioavailability of calcium are being discovered and identified. In this review, 249 reported CPP derived from four types of bovine casein (αs1, αs2, β and κ) were collected, and the amino acid sequence and phosphoserine group information were sorted out. This review outlines the current enzyme hydrolysis, detection methods, purification, structure-activity relationship and mechanism of intestinal calcium absorption in vitro and in vivo as well as application of CPP.

Abstract
RATIONALE The identification and evaluation of novel biomarkers are essential to clinical diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Serum phosphopeptides have been recognized as a potential signature pool for cancers; therefore, we aim to profile the expression of serum phosphopeptides and to evaluate their feasibility in CRC diagnosis. METHODS We conducted the characterization and absolute quantification of endogenous phosphopeptides in sera using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis in combination with enrichment of phosphopeptides by ZrAs-Fe3 O4 @SiO2 nanoparticles and use of deuterium-labeled standards. Differentially expressed analysis of four phosphopeptides was performed, generating a two-phosphopeptide-based biomarker, LF3-4 , by logistic regression analysis, where LF3-4 is equal to (5.85 - 5.13 × [F3] - 3.57 × [F4]), and [F3] and [F4] are the concentration of phosphopeptides DpSGEGDFLAEGGGVR and ADpSGEGDFLAEGGGVR in sera, respectively. RESULTS The LF3-4 values showed significant difference in CRC cases compared with controls, and yielded a specificity of 100%, leading to correct classification of 56 (93%) out of 60 CRC patients, including 12 (92.3%) of 13 CRC cases in stage I. Double-blind validation showed that 97.5% of CRC cases were discriminated accurately. CONCLUSIONS The LF3-4 value was firstly verified to be a potential biomarker for CRC diagnosis, and may expand our view in underlying mechanisms for CRC.

Abstract
Collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), electron capture dissociation and electron detachment dissociation (EDD) experiments were conducted on a set of phosphopeptides, in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. The fragmentation patterns were compared and varied according to the fragmentation mechanisms and the composition of the peptides. CAD and IRMPD produced similar fragmentation profiles of the phosphopeptides, while UVPD produced a large number of complementary fragments. Electron-based dissociation techniques displayed lower fragmentation efficiencies, despite retaining the labile phosphate group, and drastically different fragmentation profiles. EDD produced complex spectra whose interpretation proved challenging.

Abstract
We investigated the feasibility of detecting the presence of specific autoantibodies against potential tumor-associated peptide antigens by enriching these antibody-peptide complexes using Melon Gel resin and mass spectrometry. Our goal was to find tumor-associated phospho-sites that trigger immunoreactions and raise autoantibodies that are detectable in plasma of glioma patients. Such immunoglobulins can potentially be used as targets in immunotherapy. To that aim, we describe a method to detect the presence of antibodies in biological samples that are specific to selected clinically relevant peptides. The method is based on the formation of antibody-peptide complexes by mixing patient plasma with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) derived peptide library, enrichment of antibodies and antibody-peptide complexes, the separation of peptides after they are released from immunoglobulins by molecular weight filtration and finally mass spectrometric quantification of these peptides. As proof of concept, we successfully applied the method to dinitrophenyl (DNP)-labeled α-casein peptides mixed with anti-DNP. Further, we incubated human plasma with a phospho-peptide library and conducted targeted analysis on EGFR and GFAP phospho-peptides. As a result, immunoaffinity against phospho-peptide GSHQIS[+80]LDNPDYQQDFFPK (EGFR phospho-site S1166) was detected in high-grade glioma (HGG) patient plasma but not in healthy donor plasma. For the GFAP phospho-sites selected, such immunoaffinity was not observed.

Abstract
Global and phosphoproteome profiling has demonstrated great utility for the analysis of clinical specimens. One barrier to the broad clinical application of proteomic profiling is the large amount of biological material required, particularly for phosphoproteomics─currently on the order of 25 mg wet tissue weight. For hematopoietic cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the sample requirement is ≥10 million peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Across large study cohorts, this requirement will exceed what is obtainable for many individual patients/time points. For this reason, we were interested in the impact of differential peptide loading across multiplex channels on proteomic data quality. To achieve this, we tested a range of channel loading amounts (approximately the material obtainable from 5E5, 1E6, 2.5E6, 5E6, and 1E7 AML patient cells) to assess proteome coverage, quantification precision, and peptide/phosphopeptide detection in experiments utilizing isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling. As expected, fewer missing values were observed in TMT channels with higher peptide loading amounts compared to lower loadings. Moreover, channels with a lower loading have greater quantitative variability than channels with higher loadings. A statistical analysis showed that decreased loading amounts result in an increase in the type I error rate. We then examined the impact of differential loading on the detection of known differences between distinct AML cell lines. Similar patterns of increased data missingness and higher quantitative variability were observed as loading was decreased resulting in fewer statistical differences; however, we found good agreement in features identified as differential, demonstrating the value of this approach.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of viral proteins serves as a regulatory mechanism during the intracellular life cycle of infected viruses. There is therefore a pressing need to develop a method to efficiently purify and enrich phosphopeptides derived from viral particles in biological samples. In this study, we utilized Phos-tag technology to analyze the functional phosphorylation of the nucleocapsid protein (N protein; NP) of severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Viral particles were collected from culture supernatants of SARS-CoV-2-infected VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells by ultracentrifugation, and phosphopeptides were purified by Phos-tag magnetic beads for LC-MS/MS analysis. Analysis revealed that NP was reproducibly phosphorylated at serine 79 (Ser79). Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that the Ser79 was a distinct phospho-acceptor site in SARS-CoV-2 but not in other beta-coronaviruses. We also found that the prolyl-isomerase Pin1 bound to the phosphorylated Ser79 in NP and positively regulated the production of viral particles. These results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may have acquired the potent virus-host interaction during its evolution mediated by viral protein phosphorylation. Moreover, Phos-tag technology can provide a useful means for analyzing the functional phosphorylation of viral proteins. Significance In this study, we aimed to investigate the functional phosphorylation of SARS-CoV-2 NP. For this purpose, we used Phos-tag technology to purify and enrich virus-derived phosphopeptides with high selectivity and reproducibility. This method can be particularly useful in analyzing viral phosphopeptides from cell culture supernatants that often contain high concentrations of fetal bovine serum and supplements. We newly identified an NP phosphorylation site at Ser79, which is important for Pin1 binding. Furthermore, we showed that the interaction between Pin1 and phosphorylated NP could enhance viral replication in a cell culture model.

Abstract
Despite the fact that bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could afford multiple functionalities by a synergistic effect of individual metallic centers, their intrinsic microporous structure frequently restricts their wide applications with bulky molecules involved. An urgent need is consequently triggered to design bimetallic hierarchical mesoporous MOFs (mesoMOFs). Herein, Zr/Ce mesoMOFs with a uniform pore size of up to 8 nm was successfully synthesized by a copolymer template strategy with the aid of a Hoffmeister ion. The obtained Zr/Ce mesoMOFs feature high porosity, good chemical and thermal stabilities, and tunable element components, and up to 70% Zr could be incorporated into the mesoporous Ce-based framework without deteriorating its crystallinity. Thanks to the synergistic effect of inherent Ce and Zr as well as the large and open pore channels, a broad range of phosphopeptides with different molecule sizes could be effectively checked out, thanks to their simultaneous enrichment and dephosphorylation capabilities. Such an ability to efficiently concentrate phosphopeptides remained intact even in the presence of abundant non-phosphorylated species. The practical detection of phosphopeptides from human serum was also verified, prefiguring the great potentials of bimetallic large-pore mesoMOFs for the proteome applications.

Abstract
Smart responsive materials have attractive application prospects due to their tunable behaviors. In this work, we design novel spiropyran (SP)-based magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-SP) with dual response to ultraviolet light and pH and apply them to the enrichment of phosphopeptides. SP is modified on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles through a simple esterification reaction, based on which an MNP-SP-MS phosphopeptide identification platform is established. The capture and release of phosphopeptides are facilely adjusted by changing external light and the pH of the solution. The smart responsive MNP-SP has fast magnetic response performance, high sensitivity (detection limit of 0.4 fmol), and good reusability (6 cycles). In addition, MNP-SP is used for the enrichment of phosphopeptides in skimmed milk, human saliva, and human serum samples, indicating that it is an ideal adsorbent for enriching low-abundance phosphopeptides in complex biological environments.

Abstract
RATIONALE Compared with phosphorylation of arginine and histidine, the study of phosphorylation of lysine lags far behind. The major challenges toward the current study of phosphorylation of lysine include synthesis and unambiguous phosphosite identification. This study provided a simple chemical synthesis method to construct phospholysine peptides (pLys peptides) and investigated their fragmentation under multiple activation types. METHODS Herein, we developed a synthetic method for pLys peptides in aqueous solution within one pot. Two peptides were lysine-phosphorylated using this method. The purified pLys peptides were first characterized using NMR, then were subjected to nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) analysis under multiple fragmentation method including collision-induced dissociation (CID), higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD), electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron transfer/higher energy collisional dissociation (EThcD), and ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) fragmentation to investigate the relevant diagnostic ions. RESULTS Two pLys peptides were synthesized with a moderate yield following an easily handled experimental protocol. NMR spectra showed the phosphorylation occurred on ε-NH2 of lysine but not other groups. As for the fragmentation, in general, pLys immonium ions and phosphate-related neutral losses were ubiquitous among spectra derived from these activation types except for ETD. Using these ions as diagnostic ions, the misassigned phosphosites by algorithm could be recorrected. UVPD-generated spectra owned good sequence-coverage and abundant fragment ions, with pLys immonium ions and neutral losses of weak intensity. CONCLUSIONS A synthetic method was developed for pLys peptides in aqueous solution within one pot. The characteristic pLys immonium ions and phosphate-related neutral loss could serve as the diagnostic ions for unambiguous phosphosite identification of pLys peptides. In addition, UVPD was promising for the identification of pLys peptides.

Abstract
Highly efficient enrichment of phosphopeptides is of great significance for phosphoproteomics-related biological and pathological processes research, but it remains challenging due to the lack of affinity materials which hold high enrichment efficiency and capacity. Ti3C2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional material with outstanding physicochemical properties, has attracted wide research interests for application in various fields. However, there are few reports on the use of MXene-derived materials for phosphopeptides separation in the biomedical field. In this work, we proposed a facile one-pot method that in situ oxidation and modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene, to prepare two-dimensional (2D) magnetic Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites for potential application in phosphopeptides enrichment. Benefiting from the outstanding magnetic responsiveness and multiaffinity sites (Ti-O, Fe-O, and NH2 groups), the Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites possessed excellent enrichment performance with high sensitivity (0.1 fmol μL-1), excellent selectivity (β-casein: bovine serum albumin = 1:5000, molar ratio), good repeatability (5 times), and high enrichment capacity (200 mg g-1). Moreover, the results of selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from nonfat milk, human saliva, human serum, and rat brain lysates indicated the great potential of Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites in low-abundance phosphopeptides enrichment from complex biological samples. This work has put forward a versatile method to prepare magnetic MXene composites and promoted the use of MXene composites in phosphoproteome in biomedicine.

Abstract
Electron-based dissociation (ExD) produces uncluttered mass spectra of intact proteins while preserving labile post-translational modifications. However, technical challenges have limited this option to only a few high-end mass spectrometers. We have developed an efficient ExD cell that can be retrofitted in less than an hour into current LC/Q-TOF instruments. Supporting software has been developed to acquire, process, and annotate peptide and protein ExD fragmentation spectra. In addition to producing complementary fragmentation, ExD spectra enable many isobaric leucine/isoleucine and isoaspartate/aspartate pairs to be distinguished by side-chain fragmentation. The ExD cell preserves phosphorylation and glycosylation modifications. It also fragments longer peptides more efficiently to reveal signaling cross-talk between multiple post-translational modifications on the same protein chain and cleaves disulfide bonds in cystine knotted proteins and intact antibodies. The ability of the ExD cell to combine collisional activation with electron fragmentation enables more complete sequence coverage by disrupting intramolecular electrostatic interactions that can hold fragments of large peptides and proteins together. These enhanced capabilities made possible by the ExD cell expand the size of peptides and proteins that can be analyzed as well as the analytical certainty of characterizing their post-translational modifications.

Abstract
Human Nbs1, a component of the MRN complex involved in DNA double strand break repair, contains a concatenated N-terminal FHA-BRCT1/2 sequence that supports interaction with multiple phosphopeptide binding partners. MDC1 binding localizes Nbs1 to the damage site, while binding of CDK-phosphorylated CtIP activates additional ATM-dependent CtIP phosphorylation, modulating substrate-dependent resection. We have investigated the phosphopeptide binding characteristics of Nbs1 BRCT1/2 based on a molecular modeling approach that revealed structural homology with the tandem TopBP1 BRCT7/8 domains. Relevance of the model was substantiated by the ability of TopBP1-binding FANCJ phosphopeptide to interact with hsNbsBRCT1/2, albeit with lower affinity. The modeled BRCT1/2 is characterized by low pSer/pThr selectivity, preference for a cationic residue at the + 2 position, and an inter-domain binding cleft selective for hydrophobic residues at the + 3/ + 4 positions. These features provide insight into the basis for interaction of SDT motifs with the BRCT1/2 domains and allowed identification of CtIP pSer347- and pThr847-containing phosphopeptides as high and lower affinity ligands, respectively. Among other binding partners considered, rodent XRCC1 contains an SDT sequence in the second linker consistent with high-affinity Nbs1 binding, while human XRCC1 lacks this motif, but contains other phosphorylated sequences that exhibit low-affinity binding.

Abstract
The coronavirus nucleocapsid protein (N) controls viral genome packaging and contains numerous phosphorylation sites located within unstructured regions. Binding of phosphorylated SARS-CoV N to the host 14-3-3 protein in the cytoplasm was reported to regulate nucleocytoplasmic N shuttling. All seven isoforms of the human 14-3-3 are abundantly present in tissues vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2, where N can constitute up to ~1% of expressed proteins during infection. Although the association between 14-3-3 and SARS-CoV-2 N proteins can represent one of the key host-pathogen interactions, its molecular mechanism and the specific critical phosphosites are unknown. Here, we show that phosphorylated SARS-CoV-2 N protein (pN) dimers, reconstituted via bacterial co-expression with protein kinase A, directly associate, in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, with the dimeric 14-3-3 protein, but not with its monomeric mutant. We demonstrate that pN is recognized by all seven human 14-3-3 isoforms with various efficiencies and deduce the apparent KD to selected isoforms, showing that these are in a low micromolar range. Serial truncations pinpointed a critical phosphorylation site to Ser197, which is conserved among related zoonotic coronaviruses and located within the functionally important, SR-rich region of N. The relatively tight 14-3-3/pN association could regulate nucleocytoplasmic shuttling and other functions of N via occlusion of the SR-rich region, and could also hijack cellular pathways by 14-3-3 sequestration. As such, the assembly may represent a valuable target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Replication protein A (RPA) is a eukaryotic ssDNA-binding protein and contains three subunits: RPA70, RPA32, and RPA14. Phosphorylation of the N-terminal region of the RPA32 subunit plays an essential role in DNA metabolism in processes such as replication and damage response. Phosphorylated RPA32 (pRPA32) binds to RPA70 and possibly regulates the transient RPA70-Bloom syndrome helicase (BLM) interaction to inhibit DNA resection. However, the structural details and determinants of the phosphorylated RPA32-RPA70 interaction are still unknown. In this study, we provide molecular details of the interaction between RPA70 and a mimic of phosphorylated RPA32 (pmRPA32) using fluorescence polarization and NMR analysis. We show that the N-terminal domain of RPA70 (RPA70N) specifically participates in pmRPA32 binding, whereas the unphosphorylated RPA32 does not bind to RPA70N. Our NMR data revealed that RPA70N binds pmRPA32 using a basic cleft region. We also show that at least 6 negatively charged residues of pmRPA32 are required for RPA70N binding. By introducing alanine mutations into hydrophobic positions of pmRPA32, we found potential points of contact between RPA70N and the N-terminal half of pmRPA32. We used this information to guide docking simulations that suggest the orientation of pmRPA32 in complex with RPA70N. Our study demonstrates detailed features of the domain-domain interaction between RPA70 and RPA32 upon phosphorylation. This result provides insight into how phosphorylation tunes transient bindings between RPA and its partners in DNA resection.

Abstract
Comprehensive mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis is currently available but remains challenging, especially for post-translational modifications of phosphorylated proteins. Herein, multifunctional magnetic pillar[5]arene supramolecular organic frameworks were fabricated and immobilized with arginine (mP5SOF-Arg) for highly effective enrichment of global phosphopeptides. The specific phosphate-P5/phosphate-guanidine affinities and large surface area with regular porosity contribute to the high enrichment capacity. By coupling with mass spectrometry, high detection sensitivity (0.1 fmol), excellent selectivity (1:5000 molar ratios of β-casein/cytochrome c), and high recyclability (seven cycles) were achieved for phosphopeptide analysis. mP5SOF-Arg can efficiently enrich phosphopeptides from practical samples, including defatted milk, egg yolk, and human saliva. Notably, a total of 450 phosphopeptides were explored for highly selective identification from A594 cells and 1445 phosphopeptides were identified from mouse liver tissue samples. mP5SOF-Arg exhibited great potential to serve as the basis for peptidomic research to identify phosphopeptides and provided insight for biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) has been used in mass spectrometry to fragment peptides and proteins, providing fragments mostly similar to collisional activation. Using the 10.6 μm wavelength of a CO2 laser, IRMPD suffers from the relative low absorption cross-section of peptides and small proteins. Focusing on top-down analysis, we investigate different means to tackle this issue. We first reassess efficient sorting of phosphopeptides from nonphosphopeptides based on IR-absorption cross-sectional enhancement by phosphate moieties. We subsequently demonstrate that a myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) noncovalent adduct can substantially enhance IRMPD for nonphosphopeptides and that this strategy can be extended to proteins. As a natural next step, we show that native phospho-proteoforms of proteins display a distinct and enhanced fragmentation, compared to their unmodified counterparts, facilitating phospho-group site localization. We then evaluate the impact of size on the IRMPD of proteins and their complexes. When applied to protein complexes ranging from a 365 kDa CRISPR-Cas Csy ribonucleoprotein hetero-decamer, a 800 kDa GroEL homo-tetradecamer in its apo-form or loaded with its ATP cofactor, to a 1 MDa capsid-like homo-hexacontamer, we conclude that while phosphate moieties present in crRNA and ATP molecules enhance IRMPD, an increase in the IR cross-section with the size of the protein assembly also favorably accrues dissociation yields. Overall, our work showcases the versatility of IRMPD in the top-down analysis of peptides, phosphopeptides, proteins, phosphoproteins, ribonucleoprotein assemblies, and large protein complexes.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are attracting increasing interest with their intriguing role in intercellular communications. Protein phosphorylation in EVs is of great importance for understanding intercellular signaling processes. However, the study of EV phosphoproteomics is impeded by their relatively low amount in limited clinical sample volumes, and it is necessary to have a sensitive and efficient enrichment method for EV phosphopeptides. Herein, a novel Ti(IV)-functionalized and glass fiber-supported hybrid monolithic spin tip, termed PhosTip, was prepared for enriching phosphopeptides from urinary EVs. Glass fiber as the stationary phase positions the hybrid monolith in a standard pipet tip and prevents the monolith from distortion during experiments. The preparation procedure for the new PhosTip is simple and time-saving. The hybrid monolithic PhosTip provides excellent enrichment efficiency of low-abundance phosphopeptides from cell digests and urinary EVs with minimum contamination and sample loss. Using the PhosTip, we demonstrate that 5373 and 336 unique phosphopeptides were identified from 100 and 1 μg of cell lysates, while 3919 and 217 unique phosphopeptides were successfully identified from 10 and 1 mL of urinary samples, respectively. The PhosTip was finally applied to enrich phosphopeptides in urine EVs from prostate cancer patients and healthy controls and quantify 118 up-regulated proteins with phosphosites in prostate cancer samples. These results demonstrated that the PhosTip could be a simple and convenient tool for enriching phosphopeptides from clinical samples and for broader applications in biomarker discovery.

Abstract
RATIONALE Due to the dynamic nature of phosphorylation states and the low stoichiometry of phosphopeptides, it is still a challenge to efficiently capture phosphopeptides from complex biological samples before mass spectrometry analysis. Among the enrichment strategies, metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC) is one of the most widely used and the one with the most potential. It is based on reversible Lewis acid-base interactions between the metal oxides and the negatively charged phosphate groups to achieve the specific selection of phosphopeptides. METHODS A novel MOAC affinity probe, denoted as G@PDA@ZrO2 , was successfully synthesized by in situ grafting ZrO2 onto the surface of graphene (G) modified with polydopamine (PDA). The novel MOAC probe thus obtained was used for phosphopeptide enrichment. RESULTS This novel MOAC affinity probe when used to selectively enrich phosphopeptides from standard protein digest solutions exhibited a high selectivity (β-casein:bovine serum albumin = 1:1000), a low detection limit (4 fmol), and a high loading capacity (400 mg/g). At the same time, the experimental results proved that G@PDA@ZrO2 had great recyclability (five cycles), stability, and reproducibility. Subsequently, G@PDA@ZrO2 was applied to enrich phosphopeptides from human saliva and human serum, in which 25 and 4 phosphopeptide peaks, respectively, were detected. CONCLUSIONS This novel MOAC affinity probe (G@PDA@ZrO2 ) showed good performance in enriching phosphopeptides. Thus, G@PDA@ZrO2 has good potential in phosphopeptidomics analysis.

Abstract
The Discoidin, CUB, and LCCL domain-containing protein (DCBLD) family consists of two type-I transmembrane scaffolding receptors, DCBLD1 and DCBLD2, which play important roles in development and cancer. The nonreceptor tyrosine kinases FYN and ABL are known to drive phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in YXXP motifs within the intracellular domains of DCBLD family members, which leads to the recruitment of the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the adaptors CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK-like (CRKL). We previously characterized the FYN- and ABL-driven phosphorylation of DCBLD family YXXP motifs. However, we have identified additional FYN- and ABL-dependent phosphorylation sites on DCBLD1 and DCBLD2. This suggests that beyond CRK and CRKL, additional DCBLD interactors may be regulated by FYN and ABL activity. Here, we report a quantitative proteomics approach in which we map the FYN- and ABL-regulated interactomes of DCBLD family members. We found FYN and ABL regulated the binding of several signaling molecules to DCBLD1 and DCBLD2, including members of the 14-3-3 family of adaptors. Biochemical investigation of the DCBLD2/14-3-3 interaction revealed ABL-induced binding of 14-3-3 family members directly to DCBLD2.

Abstract
Phosphorylated proteins from food sources have been investigated as regulators of bone formation with potential benefits in treating osteoporosis. Egg, a cheap and nutritious food, is also the source of various proteins and bioactive peptides with applications in human health. Egg yolk is rich in phosvitin, the most phosphorylated protein in nature. Phosvitin has been shown to improve bone health in experimental animals, although the molecular mechanisms and its specific effects on bone-forming osteoblastic cells are incompletely understood. Previous work in our group has identified pancreatin-generated phosvitin phospho-peptides (PPP) as a potential source for bioactive peptides. Given this background, we examined the roles of both phosvitin and PPP in the function of osteoblastic cells. Our results demonstrated their potential to improve bone health by promoting osteoblast differentiation and proliferation, suppressing osteoclast recruitment and the deposition of extracellular matrix, although PPP appeared to demonstrate superior osteogenic functions compared to phosvitin alone.

Abstract
There are plenty of phosphoproteins in chicken egg white (CEW), which are of great significance for the biological activity and function of CEW. In this study, phosphorylated proteins in CEW were identified and analyzed based on two digestion strategies (trypsin and trypsin/glutamyl endoproteinase). Besides, the enrichment strategy of immobilized metal affinity chromatography was used, and phosphopeptides were identified by nano liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 189 phosphosites mapped onto 166 phosphopeptides corresponding to 96 phosphoproteins were identified. Gene ontology analysis suggested that these phosphoproteins of CEW mainly participated in biological processes such as "cell process", "biological regulation", and "response to stimulus". Moreover, the phosphoproteins of CEW were involved in molecular functions, primarily including "binding" and "catalytic activity". On the basis of the available literature, the research was the first comprehensive identification of chicken egg white phosphoproteins. This study further enriched the identification of phosphoproteins in CEW and laid a foundation for the subsequent study of phosphoproteins.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (iIRI) is a severe clinical condition presenting high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Some of the systemic consequences of IRI can be prevented by applying ischemic preconditioning (IPC), a series of short ischemia/reperfusion events preceding the major ischemia. Although neutrophils are key players in the pathophysiology of ischemic injuries, neither the dysregulation presented by these cells in iIRI nor the protective effect of iIPC have their regulation mechanisms fully understood. Protein phosphorylation, as well as the regulation of the respective phosphatases and kinases are responsible for regulating a large number of cellular functions in the inflammatory response. Moreover, in previous work we found hydrolases and transferases to be modulated in iIR and iIPC, suggesting the possible involvement of phosphatases and kinases in the process. Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed the phosphoproteome of neutrophils from rats submitted to mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion, either submitted or not to IPC, compared to quiescent controls and sham laparotomy. Proteomic analysis was performed by multi-step enrichment of phosphopeptides, isobaric labeling, and LC-MS/MS analysis. Bioinformatics was used to determine phosphosite and phosphopeptide abundance and clustering, as well as kinases and phosphatases sites and domains. We found that most of the phosphorylation-regulated proteins are involved in apoptosis and migration, and most of the regulatory kinases belong to CAMK and CMGC families. An interesting finding revealed groups of proteins that are modulated by iIR, but such modulation can be prevented by iIPC. Among the regulated proteins related to the iIPC protective effect, Vamp8 and Inpp5d/Ship are discussed as possible candidates for control of the iIR damage.

Abstract
Probiotic and synbiotic yogurt preparations were manufactured at the semi-industrial pilot scale with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria strains without inulin or fortified with 1 and 3% (w/w) inulin. The pathway of casein breakdown was determined in probiotic, synbiotic, conventional yogurt, and nonstarted milk base using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS-based peptidomics and phosphopeptidomics; in the latter case, casein phosphorylated peptides (CPPs) were previously enriched by hydroxyapatite chromatography. Compared with traditional yogurt, casein proteolysis increased in probiotic and even more in synbiotic yogurt with 1% inulin. Fortification with 3% inulin greatly modified the proteolytic pattern, indicating a characteristic contribution of probiotics to proteolysis. The enhanced proteolysis in synbiotic yogurt exposed the neo-formed peptides to progressively increase enzymatic or chemical modifications, such as dephosphorylation of CPPs, methionine oxidation, and formation of N-terminal pyroglutamic acids. These modifications might constitute molecular signature descriptors of metabolic processes mediated by complex bacterial communities, with technological, nutritional, and sensorial significance.

Abstract
Multidimensional protein identification (MudPIT), developed in the Yates Laboratory 20 years ago, is regarded as a powerful tool for proteomics research. Due to its remarkable online separation advantages, MudPIT has been widely used to facilitate discoveries in the field of proteomics research. However, it has one major disadvantage: the process of eluting peptides during strong cation exchange introduces salts, of different concentrations, into the mass spectrometer. Considering the sensitivity of the new generation of high-resolution mass spectrometers, developing a new version of MudPIT that could eliminate the introduction of salts in the elute would be a significant advancement to current technology. Herein, we developed a new, clean version of MudPIT called parallel channels-multidimensional protein identification technology (PC-MudPIT) to overcome this issue. In this design, the original biphasic trapping column was replaced by two parallel analytical column channels. We successfully averted the salt contamination yet retained all the other advantages of MudPIT. A total of 8161 and 7359 protein groups were identified from A549 whole cell lysate using PC-MudPIT and classic MudPIT, respectively. Moreover, we discovered the additional advantage that, in online mode, PC-MudPIT can also be used for an enrichment process of phosphopeptide identification. We identified a total 11453 phosphopeptides using PC-MudPIT and 7729 phosphopeptides using offline TiO2 enrichment followed by classic MudPIT. These advances indicate the possibility of other innovative applications of PC-MudPIT technology in deep proteome exploration.
