Abstract
Proteomics technologies demonstrate enormous data-gathering capabilities to discover disease-specific biomarkers in serum, plasma, urine, tissue and other biological samples. The traditional way to achieve this consists of protein separation performed using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2DE). However, the 2DE approach has its drawbacks with respect to automation, sensitivity, and throughput. Considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of non-gel-based proteome separation technologies able to resolve complex protein and peptide mixtures prior to mass spectrometric (MS) analysis. This review discusses some of the most recent advances in multidimensional peptide separation techniques compatible with MS analysis, including gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography techniques. Based on future perspectives and our experiences, special attention is given to the application of two-dimensional chromatographic separation coupled to MS, the so-called multidimensional protein identification technology approach.

Abstract
Metabolic labeling of proteins with the methionine surrogate azidonorleucine can be targeted exclusively to specified cells through expression of a mutant methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS). In complex cellular mixtures, proteins made in cells that express the mutant synthetase can be tagged with affinity reagents (for detection or enrichment) or fluorescent dyes (for imaging). Proteins made in cells that do not express the mutant synthetase are neither labeled nor detected.

Abstract
MS-based quantitative proteomics is widely used for large scale identification of proteins. However, an integrated approach that offers comprehensive proteome coverage, a tool for the quick categorization of the identified proteins, and a standardized biological study method is needed for helping the researcher focus on investigating the proteins with biologically important functions. In this study, we utilized isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ)-based quantitative differential LC/MS/MS, functional annotation with a proprietary gene ontology tool (Molecular Annotation by Gene Ontology (MANGO)), and standard biochemical methods to identify proteins related to neuronal differentiation in nerve growth factor-treated rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, which serve as a representative model system for studying neuronal biological processes. We performed MS analysis by using both nano-LC-MALDI-MS/MS and nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS for maximal proteome coverage. Of 1,482 non-redundant proteins semiquantitatively identified, 72 were differentially expressed with 39 up- and 33 down-regulated, including 64 novel nerve growth factor-responsive PC12 proteins. Gene ontology analysis of the differentially expressed proteins by MANGO indicated with statistical significance that the up-regulated proteins were mostly related to the biological processes of cell morphogenesis, apoptosis/survival, and cell differentiation. Some of the up-regulated proteins of unknown function, such as PAIRBP1, translationally controlled tumor protein, prothymosin alpha, and MAGED1, were further analyzed to validate their significant functions in neuronal differentiation by immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry using each antibody combined with a specific short interfering RNA technique. Knockdown of these proteins caused abnormal cell morphological changes, inhibition of neurite formation, and cell death during each course of the differentiation, confirming their important roles in neurite formation and survival of PC12 cells. These results show that our iTRAQ-MANGO-biological analysis framework, which integrates a number of standard proteomics strategies, is effective for targeting and elucidating the functions of proteins involved in the cellular biological process being studied.

Abstract
Studies on alcoholic liver injury mechanisms show a significant inhibition of the proteasome activity. To investigate this phenomenon, we isolated proteasome complexes from the liver of rats fed ethanol chronically, and from the liver of their pair-fed controls, using a non-denaturing multiple centrifugations procedure to preserve proteasome-interacting proteins (PIPs). ICAT and MS/MS spectral counting, further confirmed by Western blot, showed that the levels of several PIPs were significantly decreased in the isolated ethanol proteasome fractions. This was the case of PA28alpha/beta proteasome activator subunits, and of three proteasome-associated deubiquitinases, Rpn11, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 14, and ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L5. Interestingly, Rpn13 C-terminal end was missing in the ethanol proteasome fraction, which probably altered the linking of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L5 to the proteasome. 20S proteasome and most 19S subunits were however not changed but Ecm29, a protein known to stabilize the interactions between the 20S and its activators, was decreased in the isolated ethanol proteasome fractions. It is proposed that ethanol metabolism causes proteasome inhibition by several mechanisms, including by altering PIPs and proteasome regulatory complexes binding to the proteasome.

Abstract
Cell surface membrane proteins are involved in central processes such as cell signaling, cell-cell interactions, ion and solute transport, and they seem to play a pivotal role in several steps of the metastatic process of cancer cells. The low abundance and hydrophobic nature of cell surface membrane proteins complicate their purification and identification by MS. We used two isogenic cell lines with opposite metastatic capabilities in nude mice to optimize cell surface membrane protein purification and to identify potential novel markers of metastatic cancer. The cell surface membrane proteins were isolated by centrifugation/ultracentrifugation steps, followed by membrane separation using a Percoll/sucrose density gradient. The gradient fractions containing the cell surface membrane proteins were identified by enzymatic assays. Stable isotope labeling of the proteome of the metastatic cell line by SILAC followed by mass spectrometry analysis enabled identification and quantification of proteins that were differentially expressed in the two cell lines. Dual stable isotopic labels ((13)C-arginine and (13)C-lysine) instead of a single label ((13)C-arginine) increased the percentage of proteins that could be quantified from 40 to 93%. Repeated LC-MS/MS analyses (3-4 times) of each sample increased the number of identified proteins by 60%. The use of Percoll/sucrose density separation allowed subfractionation of membranes leading to enrichment of membrane proteins (66%) and reduction from 33% to only 16% of protein from other membranous organelles such as endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi, and mitochondria. In total, our optimized methods resulted in 1919 protein identifications (corresponding to 826 at similarity level 80% (SL80); 1145 (509 at SL80) were identified by two or more peptides of which 622 (300 at SL80) were membrane proteins. The quantitative proteomic analysis identified 16 cell surface proteins as potential markers of the ability of breast cancer cells to form distant metastases.

Abstract
In partnership exclusively with the epithelial FGFR2IIIb isotype and a structurally-specific heparan sulfate motif, stromal-derived FGF7 delivers both growth-promoting and growth-limiting differentiation signals to epithelial cells that promote cellular homeostasis between stromal and epithelial compartments. Intercompartmental homeostasis supported by FGF7/FGFR2IIIb is subverted in many solid epithelial tumors. The normally mesenchymal-derived homologue FGFR1 drives proliferation and a progressive tumor-associated phenotype when it appears ectopically in epithelial cells. In order to understand the mechanism underlying the unique biological effects of FGFR2IIIb, we developed an inducible FGFR2IIIb expression system that is specifically dependent on FGF7 for activation in an initially unresponsive cell line to avoid selection for only the growth-promoting aspects of FGFR2IIIb signaling. We then determined FGF7/FGFR2IIIb signaling-specific tyrosine phosphorylated proteins within 5 min after FGF7 stimulation by phosphopeptide immunoaffinity purification and nano-LC-MS/MS. The FGF7/FGFR2 pair caused tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins that have been implicated in the growth stimulating activities of FGFR1 that included multi-substrate organizers FRS2alpha and IRS4, ERK2 and phosphatases SHP2 and SHIP2. It uniquely phosphorylated CDK2 and phosphatase PTPN18 on sites involved in the attenuation of cell proliferation, and several factors that maintain nuclear-cytosolic relationships (emerin and LAP2), protein structure and other cellular fine structures as well as some proteins of unknown functions. Several of the FGF7/FGFR2IIIb-specific targets have been associated with maintenance of function and tumor suppression and disruption in tumors. In contrast, a number of pTyr substrates associated with FGF2/FGFR1 that are generally associated with intracellular Ca(2+)-phospholipid signaling, membrane and cytoskeletal plasticity, cell adhesion, migration and the tumorigenic phenotype were not observed with FGF7/FGFR2IIIb. Our findings provide specific downstream targets for dissection of causal relationships underlying the distinct role of FGF7/FGFR2IIIb signaling in epithelial cell homeostasis.

Abstract
Using apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a model protein, we developed a protein isoform analysis method utilizing stable isotope labeling tandem mass spectrometry (SILT MS). ApoE isoforms are quantitated using the intensities of the b and y ions of the (13)C-labeled tryptic isoform-specific peptides versus unlabeled tryptic isoform-specific peptides. The ApoE protein isoform analysis using SILT allows for the simultaneous detection and relative quantitation of different ApoE isoforms from the same sample. This method provides a less biased assessment of ApoE isoforms compared to antibody-dependent methods, and may lead to a better understanding of the biological differences between isoforms.

Abstract
Dynamic changes in the posttranslational modification of proteins govern most cellular signaling pathways. Work over the past decade has connected many of these processes with the covalent attachment of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) protein to target proteins, but a global view of the dynamics of SUMOylation was missing. A system-level proteomics approach has now been used to describe quantitative changes in protein modification with the SUMO-2 paralog during the response to heat shock. The SUMOylation status of more than 700 proteins was monitored in HeLa cells during the induction of hyperthermic stress and the recovery period. A massive redistribution of SUMO-2 was observed that affected many biological pathways that are important for the heat shock response, including cell cycle regulation, transcription, translation, protein folding, and DNA repair. Collectively, these data suggest a wide-ranging role for SUMOylation in the cellular response to hyperthermic stress. The strategies that were developed to provide this global view of SUMOylation should guide future approaches to probing quantitative changes in protein modification.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a reversible posttranslational modification of proteins and plays a key role in regulating gene expression. Technological limitations have so far prevented a global analysis of lysine acetylation's cellular roles. We used high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify 3600 lysine acetylation sites on 1750 proteins and quantified acetylation changes in response to the deacetylase inhibitors suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and MS-275. Lysine acetylation preferentially targets large macromolecular complexes involved in diverse cellular processes, such as chromatin remodeling, cell cycle, splicing, nuclear transport, and actin nucleation. Acetylation impaired phosphorylation-dependent interactions of 14-3-3 and regulated the yeast cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28. Our data demonstrate that the regulatory scope of lysine acetylation is broad and comparable with that of other major posttranslational modifications.

Abstract
Mammalian sperm need to reside in the female reproductive tract for a finite period of time before acquiring fertilizing competence. The biochemical changes associated with this process are collectively known as "capacitation". With the use of the mouse as an experimental model, we have previously demonstrated that capacitation is associated with a cAMP-dependent increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation. However, little is known about the identity and function of the protein targets of this phosphorylation cascade. In the present work, we have used differential isotopic labeling coupled with immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC)-based phosphopeptide enrichment and analysis on a hybrid linear ion trap/FT-ICR mass spectrometer to measure the changes in protein phosphorylation resulting from the capacitation process. As no kinase activators and/or phosphatase inhibitors were used in the preparation of the sperm samples, phosphorylated residues identified in this study represent in vivo sites of phosphorylation. Also, in contrast to other methods which rely on the incorporation of isotopically labeled amino acids at the protein level (e.g., SILAC), the present technique is based on the Fisher esterification of protein digests, allowing for the comparison of phosphorylation status in the absence of protein synthesis. This approach resulted in the identification of 55 unique, in vivo sites of phosphorylation and permitted the relative extent of phosphorylation, as a consequence of capacitation, to be calculated for 42 different phosphopeptides. This work represents the first effort to determine which specific protein phosphorylation sites change their phosphorylation status in vivo as a result of the mammalian capacitation process.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative interaction proteomics has successfully elucidated specific protein-protein, DNA-protein, and small molecule-protein interactions. Here, we developed a gel-free, sensitive, and scalable technology that addresses the important area of RNA-protein interactions. Using aptamer-tagged RNA as bait, we captured RNA-interacting proteins from stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-labeled mammalian cell extracts and analyzed them by high-resolution, quantitative MS. Binders specific to the RNA sequence were distinguished from background by their isotope ratios between bait and control. We demonstrated the approach by retrieving known and novel interaction partners for the HuR interaction motif, H4 stem loop, "zipcode" sequence, tRNA, and a bioinformatically-predicted RNA fold in DGCR-8/Pasha mRNA. In all experiments we unambiguously identified known interaction partners by a single affinity purification step. The 5' region of the mRNA of DGCR-8/Pasha, a component of the microprocessor complex, specifically interacts with components of the translational machinery, suggesting that it contains an internal ribosome entry site.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha/NF-kappaB-signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in various processes including apoptosis, cellular differentiation, host defense, inflammation, autoimmunity and organogenesis. The complexity of the TNF-alpha/NF-kappaB signaling is in part due to the dynamic protein behaviors of key players in this pathway. In this present work, a dynamic and global view of the signaling components in the nucleus at the early stages of TNF-alpha/NF-kappaB signaling was obtained in HEK293 cells, by a combination of subcellular fractionation and stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). The dynamic profile patterns of 547 TNF-alpha-induced nuclei-associated proteins were quantified in our studies. The functional characters of all the profiles were further analyzed using that Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotation. Additionally, many previously unknown effectors of TNF-alpha/NF-kappaB signaling were identified, quantified and clustered into differential activation profiles. Interestingly, levels of Fanconi anemia group D2 protein (FANCD2), one of the Fanconi anemia family proteins, was found to be increased in the nucleus by SILAC quantitation upon TNF-alpha stimulation, which was further verified by western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. This indicates that FANCD2 might be involved in TNF-alpha/NF-kappaB signaling through its accumulation in the nucleus. In summary, the combination of subcellular proteomics with quantitative analysis not only allowed for a dissection of the nuclear TNF-alpha/NF-kappaB-signaling pathway, but also provided a systematic strategy for monitoring temporal and spatial changes in cell signaling.

Abstract
Proteomics-based identification of biomarkers for fetal abnormalities in maternal plasma, amniotic fluid and reproductive fluids has made significant progress in the past 5 years. This is attributed mainly to advances in various technology platforms associated with mass spectrometry-based techniques. As these techniques are highly sensitive and require only small quantities of body fluids, it is hoped that they will pave the way for the development of effective noninvasive approaches, without subjecting the developing fetus to the same degree of harm as current invasive procedures (e.g., amniocentesis). It is possible that these developments will include same-day analyses, thereby permitting rapid intervention when necessary. To date, a host of body fluids, such as maternal serum and plasma, amniotic fluid, cervical fluid, vaginal fluid, urine, saliva or fetal material, such as placental trophoblast, fetal membranes or cord blood, have been used successfully in the quest to develop markers for a number of pregnancy-related pathologies. In the current review update we focus on the emergence of proteomics as a major platform technology in studying various types of fetal conditions and developing markers for pregnancy-related disorders, such fetal aneuploidy, preterm birth, preeclampsia, intra-amniotic infection and fetal stress. Should the development of these markers be successful, then it is to be envisaged that proteomic approaches will become standard of care for a number of disease conditions associated with feto-maternal health.

Abstract
Defining the mechanisms governing myogenesis has advanced in recent years. Skeletal-muscle differentiation is a multi-step process controlled spatially and temporally by various factors at the transcription level. To explore those factors involved in myogenesis, stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), coupled with high-accuracy mass spectrometry (LTQ-Orbitrap), was applied successfully. Rat L6 cell line is an excellent model system for studying muscle myogenesis in vitro. When mononucleate L6 myoblast cells reach confluence in culture plate, they could transform into multinucleate myotubes by serum starvation. By comparing protein expression of L6 myoblasts and terminally differentiated multinucleated myotubes, 1170 proteins were quantified and 379 proteins changed significantly in fully differentiated myotubes in contrast to myoblasts. These differentially expressed proteins are mainly involved in inter-or intracellular signaling, protein synthesis and degradation, protein folding, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix, cell structure and motility, metabolism, substance transportation, etc. These findings were supported by many previous studies on myogenic differentiation, of which many up-regulated proteins were found to be involved in promoting skeletal muscle differentiation for the first time in our study. In summary, our results provide new clues for understanding the mechanism of myogenesis.

Abstract
In enzymatic (18)O-labeling strategies for quantitative proteomics, the exchange of carboxyl oxygens at low pH is a common, undesired side reaction. We asked if acid-catalyzed back exchange could interfere with quantitation and whether the reaction itself could be used as method for introducing (18)O label into peptides. Several synthetic peptides were dissolved in dilute acid containing 50% (v/v) H(2)(18)O and incubated at room temperature. Aliquots were removed over a period of 3 weeks and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). (18)O-incorporation ratios were determined by linear regression analysis that allowed for multiple stable-isotope incorporations. At low pH, peptides exchanged their carboxyl oxygen atoms with the aqueous solvent. The isotope patterns gradually shifted to higher masses until they reached the expected binomial distribution at equilibrium after approximately 11 days. Reaction rates were residue- and sequence-specific. Due to its slow nature, the acid-catalyzed back exchange is expected to minimally interfere with enzymatic (18)O-labeling studies provided that storage and analysis conditions minimize low-pH exposure times. On its own, acid-catalyzed (18)O labeling is a general tagging strategy that is an alternative to the chemical, metabolic, and enzymatic isotope-labeling schemes currently used in quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
Covalent conjugation of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins to target proteins regulates many important eukaryotic cellular mechanisms. Although the molecular consequences of the conjugation of SUMO proteins are relatively well understood, little is known about the cellular signals that regulate the modification of their substrates. Here, we show that SUMO-2 and SUMO-3 are required for cells to survive heat shock. Through quantitative labeling techniques, stringent purification of SUMOylated proteins, advanced mass spectrometric technology, and novel techniques of data analysis, we quantified heat shock-induced changes in the SUMOylation state of 766 putative substrates. In response to heat shock, SUMO was polymerized into polySUMO chains and redistributed among a wide range of proteins involved in cell cycle regulation; apoptosis; the trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins; transcription; translation; and DNA replication, recombination, and repair. This comprehensive proteomic analysis of the substrates of a ubiquitin-like modifier (Ubl) identifies a pervasive role for SUMO proteins in the biologic response to hyperthermic stress.

Abstract
Selective interactions between tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins and their cognate, SH2-domain containing ligands play key roles in mammalian signal transduction. Several bacterial pathogens use secretion systems to inject tyrosine kinase substrates into host cells. Upon phosphorylation, these effector proteins recruit cellular binding partners to manipulate host cell functions. So far, only a few interaction partners have been identified. Here we report the results of a proteomic screen to systematically identify binding partners of all known tyrosine-phosphorylated bacterial effectors by high-resolution mass spectrometry. We identified 39 host interactions, all mediated by SH2 domains, including four of the five already known interaction partners. Individual phosphorylation sites recruited a surprisingly high number of cellular interaction partners suggesting that individual phosphorylation sites can interfere with multiple cellular signaling pathways. Collectively, our results indicate that tyrosine-phosphorylation sites of bacterial effector proteins have evolved as versatile interaction modules that can recruit a rich repertoire of cellular SH2 domains.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is a primary form of information transfer in cell signaling pathways and plays a crucial role in regulating biological responses. Aberrant phosphorylation has been implicated in a number of diseases, and kinases and phosphatases, the cellular enzymes that control dynamic phosphorylation events, present attractive therapeutic targets. However, the innate complexity of signaling networks has presented many challenges to therapeutic target selection and successful drug development. Approaches in phosphoproteomics can contribute functional, systems-level datasets across signaling networks that can provide insight into suitable drug targets, more broadly profile compound activities, and identify key biomarkers to assess clinical outcomes. Advances in MS-based phosphoproteomics efforts now provide the ability to quantitate phosphorylation with throughput and sensitivity to sample a significant portion of the phosphoproteome in clinically relevant systems. This review will discuss recent work and examples of application data that demonstrate the utility of MS, with a particular focus on the use of quantitative phosphoproteomics and phosphotyrosine-directed signaling analyses to provide robust measurement for functional biological interpretation of drug action on signaling and phenotypic outcomes.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is a key posttranslational modification, which reversibly regulates almost all processes in the living cell. Deregulated signaling is a hallmark of cancer and other diseases, and protein kinases are prominent drug targets. Phosphorylation events are commonly probed in a targeted manner by phosphorylation-specific antibodies. In contrast, advances in proteomics technology, including phosphopeptide enrichment, high-accuracy mass spectrometry, and associated bioinformatics now make it possible to analyze entire phosphoproteomes. Quantitative methods can assess the relative change in phosphorylation for several thousand sites in a single experiment. Here we review enrichment strategies and methods for mass spectrometric fragmentation and analysis of phosphopeptides. We also describe different quantitative methods and their application to problems in cell signaling and drug target discovery. Emerging phosphoproteomics technologies are becoming more comprehensive, robust, and generically applicable to a wide range of questions, including areas outside traditional eukaryotic cell signaling such as Ser/Thr/Tyr signaling in bacteria.

Abstract
Members of the human protein kinase superfamily are the major regulatory enzymes involved in the activity control of eukaryotic signal transduction pathways. As protein kinases reside at the nodes of phosphorylation-based signal transmission, comprehensive analysis of their cellular expression and site-specific phosphorylation can provide important insights into the architecture and functionality of signaling networks. However, in global proteome studies, low cellular abundance of protein kinases often results in rather minor peptide species that are occluded by a vast excess of peptides from other cellular proteins. These analytical limitations create a rationale for kinome-wide enrichment of protein kinases prior to mass spectrometry analysis. Here, we employed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) to compare the binding characteristics of three kinase-selective affinity resins by quantitative mass spectrometry. The evaluated pre-fractionation tools possessed pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based kinase inhibitors as immobilized capture ligands and retained considerable subsets of the human kinome. Based on these results, an affinity resin displaying the broadly selective kinase ligand VI16832 was employed to quantify the relative expression of more than 170 protein kinases across three different, SILAC-encoded cancer cell lines. These experiments demonstrated the feasibility of comparative kinome profiling in a compact experimental format. Interestingly, we found high levels of cytoplasmic and low levels of receptor tyrosine kinases in MV4-11 leukemia cells compared with the adherent cancer lines HCT116 and MDA-MB-435S. The VI16832 resin was further exploited to pre-fractionate kinases for targeted phosphoproteomics analysis, which revealed about 1200 distinct phosphorylation sites on more than 200 protein kinases. This hitherto largest survey of site-specific phosphorylation across the kinome significantly expands the basis for functional follow-up studies on protein kinase regulation. In conclusion, the straightforward experimental procedures described here enable different implementations of kinase-selective proteomics with considerable potential for future signal transduction and kinase drug target analysis.

Abstract
The molecular details of the biosynthesis and resulting architecture of the bacterial cell wall remain unclear but are essential to understanding the activity of glycopeptide antibiotics, the recognition of pathogens by hosts, and the processes of bacterial growth and division. Here we report a new strategy to elucidate bacterial cell-wall architecture based on time-dependent isotope labeling of bacterial cells quantified by liquid chromatography/accurate mass measurement mass spectrometry. The results allow us to track the fate of cell-wall precursors (which contain the vancomycin-binding site) in Enterococcus faecium, a leading antibiotic-resistant pathogen. By comparing isotopic enrichments of postinsertionally modified cell-wall precursors, we find that tripeptides and species without aspartic acid/asparagine (Asp/Asn, Asx) bridges are specific to mature cell wall. Additionally, we find that the sequence of cell-wall maturation varies throughout a cell cycle. We suggest that actively dividing E. faecium cells have three zones of unique peptidoglycan processing. Our results reveal new organizational characteristics of the bacterial cell wall that are important to understanding tertiary structure and designing novel drugs for antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
The starting point for the discovery and development of new drugs is the design of molecules that bind to their target proteins with high specificity. Here we describe a systematic chemical proteomics based approach, whereby we use a novel PDE5 inhibitor as bait in mice lung tissue. The compound N-(6-aminohexyl)-3-(1-ethyl-3-methyl-7-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)-4-propoxybenzenesulfonamide (or PF-4540124), which binds to phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) with high affinity, was therefore immobilized on an affinity support. Initial affinity enrichment revealed the binding of hundreds of proteins to this immobilized PDE5 inhibitor. Therefore, selective pre-clearing and elution protocols were designed and used in combination with differential stable-isotope labeling to discriminate between the specific binding of low abundant proteins and less specific binding of high abundant proteins. The optimized method allowed us to selectively analyze the "interactome" of the PDE5 inhibitor PF-4540124 and enabled us to identify different isoforms of PDE5 present in mouse lung. Additionally, we enriched for the prenyl binding protein PrBP, which is also known as PDE6delta. Further analysis, applying in vitro binding assays allowed us to verify PrBP as a novel interactor of PF-4540124. The presented method provides a generic highly-specific chemical proteomics based enrichment technique for analyzing drug-protein interactions in mammalian tissue lysates.

Abstract
Biological experiments are most often performed with immortalized cell lines because they are readily available and can be expanded without limitation. However, cell lines may differ from the in vivo situation in important aspects. Here we introduce a straightforward methodology to compare cell lines to their cognate primary cells and to derive a comparative functional phenotype. We used SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) for quantitative, mass spectrometry-based comparison of the hepatoma cell line Hepa1-6 with primary hepatocytes. The resulting quantitative proteome of 4,063 proteins had an asymmetric distribution, with many proteins down-regulated in the cell line. Bioinformatic analysis of the quantitative proteomics phenotypes revealed that Hepa1-6 cells were deficient in mitochondria, reflecting re-arrangement of metabolic pathways, drastically up-regulate cell cycle-associated functions and largely shut down drug metabolizing enzymes characteristic for the liver. This quantitative knowledge of changes provides an important basis to adapt cell lines to more closely resemble physiological conditions.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is an intracellular pathogen possessing a complex mixture of cell wall lipids that are thought to modulate the activities of host macrophages. In this study, we employed two state-of-the-art quantitative proteomic approaches, metabolic labeling SILAC and chemical isobaric tagging iTRAQ, to study changes in macrophage protein expression in response to exposure to M. tuberculosis lipids. From a total of 1286 proteins identified, 463 were discovered by both isotope-labeling strategies at a high consistency, and the rest of proteins were detected by only one of the two approaches. Upon exposure to mycobacterial cell wall lipids, 166 macrophage proteins showed differential expression. These included proteins involved in the immune response, oxidation and reduction, and vesicle transport, as well as other cellular processes. The response of the macrophage proteome to M. tuberculosis lipids reflects the cell's innate defense mechanisms as well as lipid-induced processes that may benefit the pathogen.

Abstract
We describe a method for the specific isolation of representative N-terminal peptides of proteins and their proteolytic fragments. Their isolation is based on a gel-free, peptide-centric proteomics approach using the principle of diagonal chromatography. We will indicate that the introduction of an altered chemical property to internal peptides holding a free alpha-N-terminus results in altered column retention of these peptides, thereby enabling the isolation and further characterization by mass spectrometry of N-terminal peptides. Besides pointing to changes in protein expression levels when performing such proteome surveys in a differential modus, protease specificity and substrate repertoires can be allocated since both are specified by neo-N-termini generated after a protease cleavage event. As such, our gel-free proteomics technology is widely applicable and amenable for a variety of proteome-driven protease degradomics research.

Abstract
Labeling of proteins and peptides with stable heavy isotopes (deuterium, carbon-13, nitrogen-15, and oxygen-18) is widely used in quantitative proteomics. These are either incorporated metabolically in cells and small organisms, or postmetabolically in proteins and peptides by chemical or enzymatic reactions. Only upon measurement with mass spectrometers holding sufficient resolution, light, and heavy labeled peptide ions or reporter peptide fragment ions segregate and their intensity values are subsequently used for quantification. Targeted use of these labels or mass tags further leads to specific monitoring of diverse aspects of dynamic proteomes. In this review article, commonly used isotope labeling strategies are described, both for quantitative differential protein profiling and for targeted analysis of protein modifications.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a glycolipid component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, is a potent initiator of the innate immune response of the macrophage. LPS triggers downstream signaling by selectively recruiting and activating proteins in cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains called lipid rafts. We applied proteomics analysis to macrophage detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) during an LPS exposure time course in an effort to identify and validate novel events occurring in macrophage rafts. Following metabolic incorporation in cell culture of heavy isotopes of amino acids arginine and lysine ([(13)C(6)]Arg and [(13)C(6)]Lys) or their light counterparts, a SILAC (stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture)-based quantitative, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry proteomics approach was used to profile LPS-induced changes in the lipid raft proteome of RAW 264.7 macrophages. Unsupervised network analysis of the proteomics data set revealed a marked representation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system as well as changes in proteasome subunit composition following LPS challenge. Functional analysis of DRMs confirmed that LPS causes selective activation of the proteasome in macrophage rafts and proteasome inactivation outside of rafts. Given previous reports of an essential role for proteasomal degradation of IkappaB kinase-phosphorylated p105 in LPS activation of ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase, we tested for a role of rafts in compartmentalization of these events. Immunoblotting of DRMs revealed proteasome-dependent activation of MEK and ERK specifically occurring in lipid rafts as well as proteasomal activity upon raft-localized p105 that was enhanced by LPS. Cholesterol extraction from the intact macrophage with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin was sufficient to activate ERK, recapitulating the LPS-IkappaB kinase-p105-MEK-ERK cascade, whereas both it and the alternate raft-disrupting agent nystatin blocked subsequent LPS activation of the ERK cascade. Taken together, our findings indicate a critical, selective role for raft compartmentalization and regulation of proteasome activity in activation of the MEK-ERK pathway.

Abstract
During the last decades, molecular sciences revolutionized biomedical research and gave rise to the biotechnology industry. During the next decades, the application of the quantitative sciences--informatics, physics, chemistry, and engineering--to biomedical research brings about the next revolution that will improve human healthcare and certainly create new technologies, since there is no doubt that small changes can have great effects. It is not a question of "yes" or "no," but of "how much," to make best use of the medical options we will have. In this context, the development of accurate analytical methods must be considered a cornerstone, since the understanding of biological processes will be impossible without information about the minute changes induced in cells by interactions of cell constituents with all sorts of endogenous and exogenous influences and disturbances. The first quantitative techniques, which were developed, allowed monitoring relative changes only, but they clearly showed the significance of the information obtained. The recent advent of techniques claiming to quantify proteins and peptides not only relative to each other, but also in an absolute fashion, promised another quantum leap, since knowing the absolute amount will allow comparing even unrelated species and the definition of parameters will permit to model biological systems much more accurate than before. To bring these promises to life, several approaches are under development at this point in time and this review is focused on those developments.

Abstract
The study of protein phosphorylation in combination with chemical methods may serve several purposes. The removal of the phosphate group from phosphoserine and -threonine residues by beta-elimination has been employed to improve sensitivity for mass spectrometric detection and to attach affinity tags for phosphopeptide enrichment. More recently, phosphoramidate chemistry has been shown to be another promising tool for enriching phosphorylated peptides, and other phosphate-directed reactions may also be applicable to the study of the phosphoproteome in the future. In recent years, the combination of large-scale phospho-proteomics studies with stable isotope labeling for quantification purposes has become of growing importance, frequently involving the introduction of chemical tags such as iTRAQ. In this chapter, we will highlight several key strategies that involve chemical tagging reactions.

Abstract
The identification of target proteins for small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) is a critical step towards a detailed understanding of the cellular functions of SUMOs. Substrate protein identification for SUMOs is hampered by the low abundance of SUMO targets, the finding that only a small fraction of these target proteins is sumoylated, and the high activity of deconjugating enzymes. Quantitative proteomics is a powerful tool to overcome these challenges, because it allows discrimination between contaminating proteins in SUMO-enriched preparations and true target proteins. In this chapter, the methodological details of the application of stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) for the identification of target proteins for SUMOs are described. In addition to steady state sumoylation, the sumoylated proteome undergoes dynamic rearrangements in response to a diverse array of stimuli. SILAC also allows the study of sumoylation dynamics in response to these stimuli.

Abstract
Shotgun proteomics involves the analysis of peptides obtained by enzymatic digestions of proteins and subsequent identification via tandem mass spectrometry. This approach is an effective method for studying global protein expression in neuronal systems. The method described here is a quantitative shotgun neuroproteomics method using amine-specific isobaric tags for a relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based workflow. We will provide the technical details for sample preparation, two-dimensional liquid chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry, database search, and statistical analysis to identify differentially expressed proteins. We will use a recent study on a rat model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis to illustrate the successful application of this method.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is the most important type of reversible post-translational modification involved in the regulation of cellular signal-transduction processes. In addition to controlling normal cellular physiology on the molecular level, perturbations of phosphorylation-based signaling networks and cascades have been implicated in the onset and progression of various human diseases. Recent advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics helped to overcome many of the previous limitations in protein phosphorylation analysis. Improved isotope labeling and phosphopeptide enrichment strategies in conjunction with more powerful mass spectrometers and advances in data analysis have been integrated in highly efficient phosphoproteomics workflows, which are capable of monitoring up to several thousands of site-specific phosphorylation events within one large-scale analysis. Combined with ongoing efforts to define kinase-substrate relationships in intact cells, these major achievements have considerable potential to assess phosphorylation-based signaling networks on a system-wide scale. Here, we provide an overview of these exciting developments and their potential to transform signal-transduction research into a technology-driven, high-throughput science.

Abstract
The liver is a central organ involved in many aspects of physiology and disease. Signaling properties of hepatocytes, the main liver cell type, are of special interest in metabolic diseases and in regeneration. For this reason we investigated the phosphoproteome of the mouse liver cell line Hepa1-6 by stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and high resolution MS. Using stringent statistical evaluation criteria, we obtained 5433 phosphorylation sites on 1808 proteins. The phosphoproteome encompasses all major protein classes, including a large number of transcription factors. We compared control and phosphatase inhibitor treated cells by SILAC. This enabled ready identification of in vivo phosphorylation sites by sequencing the more abundant, inhibitor induced version of the peptide while still observing the endogenous version. We employed a mixture of pervanadate for blocking protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and calyculin A and deltamethrin for blocking the activities of serine/threonine phosphatases. Interestingly, these commonly used inhibitors in standard concentrations affected only 28% of the phosphopeptides by at least two-fold. The unaffected sites may be substrates of phosphatases that are not efficiently inhibited, have slow kinetic or sites that are almost stoichiometric in normally growing cells. Finally, we devised a triple labeling strategy comprising control cells, stimulated cells, and phosphatase treated cells to derive an upper bound on phosphorylation occupancy.

Abstract
Proteomics has progressed radically in the last 5 years and is now on par with most genomic technologies in throughput and comprehensiveness. Analyzing peptide mixtures by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has emerged as the main technology for in-depth proteome analysis whereas two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, low-resolution MALDI, and protein arrays are playing niche roles. MS-based proteomics is rapidly becoming quantitative through both label-free and stable isotope labeling technologies. The latest generation of mass spectrometers combines extremely high resolving power, mass accuracy, and very high sequencing speed in routine proteomic applications. Peptide fragmentation is mostly performed in low-resolution but very sensitive and fast linear ion traps. However, alternative fragmentation methods and high-resolution fragment analysis are becoming much more practical. Recent advances in computational proteomics are removing the data analysis bottleneck. Thus, in a few specialized laboratories, "precision proteomics" can now identify and quantify almost all fragmented peptide peaks. Huge challenges and opportunities remain in technology development for proteomics; thus, this is not "the beginning of the end" but surely "the end of the beginning."
