Abstract
Cellular signaling circuitry in eukaryotes can be studied by analyzing the regulation of protein phosphorylation and its impact on downstream mechanisms leading to a phenotype. A primary role of phosphorylation is to act as a switch to turn "on" or "off" a protein activity or a cellular pathway. Specifically, protein phosphorylation is a major leit motif for transducing molecular signals inside the cell. Errors in transferring cellular information can alter the normal function and may lead to diseases such as cancer; an accurate reconstruction of the "true" signaling network is essential for understanding the molecular machinery involved in normal and pathological function. In this study, we have developed a novel framework for time-dependent reconstruction of signaling networks involved in the activation of macrophage cells leading to an inflammatory response. Several signaling pathways have been identified in macrophage cells, but the time-varying causal relationship that can produce a dynamic directed graph of these molecules has not been explored in detail. Here, we use the notion of Granger causality, and apply a vector autoregressive model to phosphoprotein time-course data in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Through the reconstruction of the phosphoprotein network, we were able to estimate the directionality and the dynamics of information flow. Significant interactions were selected through statistical hypothesis testing ( t-test) of the coefficients of a linear model and were used to reconstruct the phosphoprotein signaling network. Our approach results in a three-stage phosphoprotein network that represents the evolution of the causal interactions in the intracellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
With mitochondrion garnering more attention for its inextricable involvement in pathophysiological conditions, it seems imperative to understand the means by which the molecular pathways harbored in this organelle are regulated. Protein phosphorylation has been considered a central event in cellular signaling and, more recently, in the modulation of mitochondrial activity. Efforts have been made to understand the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphorylation regulates mitochondrial signaling. With the advances in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, there is a substantial hope and expectation in the increased knowledge of protein phosphorylation profile and its mode of regulation. On the basis of phosphorylation profiles, attempts have been made to disclose the kinases involved and how they control the molecular processes in mitochondria and, consequently, the cellular outcomes. Still, few studies have focused on mitochondrial phosphoproteome profiling, particularly in diseases. The present study reviews current data on protein phosphorylation profiling in mitochondria, the potential kinases involved and how pathophysiological conditions modulate the mitochondrial phosphoproteome. To integrate data from distinct research papers, we performed network analysis, with bioinformatic tools like Cytoscape, String, and PANTHER taking into consideration variables such as tissue specificity, biological processes, molecular functions, and pathophysiological conditions. For instance, data retrieved from these analyses evidence some homology in the mitochondrial phosphoproteome among liver and heart, with proteins from transport and oxidative phosphorylation clusters particularly susceptible to phosphorylation. A distinct profile was noticed for adipocytes, with proteins form metabolic processes, namely, triglycerides metabolism, as the main targets of phosphorylation. Regarding disease conditions, more phosphorylated proteins were observed in diabetics with some distinct phosphoproteins identified in type 2 prediabetic states and early type 2 diabetes mellitus. Heart-failure-related phosphorylated proteins are in much lower amount and are mainly involved in transport and metabolism. Nevertheless, technical considerations related to mitochondria isolation and protein separation should be considered in data comparison among different proteomic studies. Data from the present review will certainly open new perspectives of protein phosphorylation in mitochondria and will help to envisage future studies targeting the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins represent fascinating extensions of the dynamic complexity of living cells' proteomes. The results of enzymatically catalyzed or spontaneous chemical reactions, PTMs form a fourth tier in the gene - transcript - protein cascade, and contribute not only to proteins' biological functions, but also to challenges in their analysis. There have been tremendous advances in proteomics during the last decade. Identification and mapping of PTMs in proteins have improved dramatically, mainly due to constant increases in the sensitivity, speed, accuracy and resolution of mass spectrometry (MS). However, it is also becoming increasingly evident that simple gel-free shotgun MS profiling is unlikely to suffice for comprehensive detection and characterization of proteins and/or protein modifications present in low amounts. Here, we review current approaches for enriching and separating posttranslationally modified proteins, and their MS-independent detection. First, we discuss general approaches for proteome separation, fractionation and enrichment. We then consider the commonest forms of PTMs (phosphorylation, glycosylation and glycation, lipidation, methylation, acetylation, deamidation, ubiquitination and various redox modifications), and the best available methods for detecting and purifying proteins carrying these PTMs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Posttranslational Protein modifications in biology and Medicine.

Abstract
Since the discovery of protein phosphorylation as an important modulator of many cellular processes, the involvement of protein kinases in diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and central nervous system pathologies, has been extensively documented. Our understanding of many disease pathologies at the molecular level, therefore, requires the comprehensive identification of substrates targeted by protein kinases. In this review, we focus on recent techniques for kinase substrate identification in high throughput, in particular on genetic and proteomic approaches. Each method with its inherent advantages and limitations is discussed.

Abstract
Reversible protein phosphorylation is an essential mechanism in the regulation of diverse biological processes, nonetheless is frequently altered in disease. As most phosphoproteome studies are based on optimized in-vitro cell culture studies new methods are in need to improve de novo identification and characterization of phosphoproteins in extracts from tissues. Here, we describe a rapid and reliable method for the detection of phosphoproteins in tissue extract based on an experimental strategy that employs 1D and 2D SDS PAGE, Western immunoblotting of phosphoproteins, in-gel protease digestion and enrichment of phosphorpeptides using metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC). Subsequently, phosphoproteins are identified by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS with the CHCA-TL or DHB ML sample matrix preparation method and further characterized by various bioinformatic software tools to search for candidate kinases and phosphorylation-dependent binding motifs. The method was applied to mouse lung tissue extracts and resulted in an identification of 160 unique phosphoproteins. Notably, TiO(2) enrichment of pulmonary protein extracts resulted in an identification of additional 17 phosphoproteins and 20 phosphorylation sites. By use of MOAC, new phosphorylation sites were identified as evidenced for the advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor. So far this protein was unknown to be phosphorylated in lung tissue of mice. Overall the developed methodology allowed efficient and rapid screening of phosphorylated proteins and can be employed as a general experimental strategy for an identification of phosphoproteins in tissue extracts.

Abstract
Focal adhesion turnover is a complex process required for cell migration. We have previously shown that the Ste20-like kinase (SLK) is required for cell migration and efficient focal adhesion (FA) turnover in a FA kinase (FAK)-dependent manner. However, the role of SLK in this process remains unclear. Using a candidate substrate approach, we show that SLK phosphorylates the adhesion adapter protein paxillin on serine 250. Serine 250 phosphorylation is required for paxillin redistribution and cell motility. Mutation of paxillin serine 250 prevents its phosphorylation by SLK in vitro and results in impaired migration in vivo as evidenced by an accumulation of phospho-FAK-Tyr397 and altered FA turnover rates. Together, our data suggest that SLK phosphorylation of paxillin on serine 250 is required for FAK-dependent FA dynamics.

Abstract
Massive evidence suggests that genetic abnormalities contribute to the development of lung cancer. These molecular abnormalities may serve as diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers for this deadly disease. It is imperative to search these biomarkers in different tumorigenesis pathways so as to provide the most appropriate therapy for each individual patient with lung malignancy. Phosphoproteomics is a promising technology for the identification of biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for cancer. Thousands of proteins interact via physical and chemical association. Moreover, some proteins can covalently modify other proteins post-translationally. These post-translational modifications ultimately give rise to the emergent functions of cells in sequence, space and time. Phosphoproteomics clinical researches imply the comprehensive analysis of the proteins that are expressed in cells or tissues and can be employed at different stages. In addition, understanding the functions of phosphorylated proteins requires the study of proteomes as linked systems rather than collections of individual protein molecules. In fact, proteomics approaches coupled with affinity chromatography strategies followed by mass spectrometry have been used to elucidate relevant biological questions. This article will discuss the relevant clues of post-translational modifications, phosphorylated proteins, and useful proteomics approaches to identify molecular cancer signatures. The recent progress in phosphoproteomics research in lung cancer will be also discussed.

Identifying protein phosphorylation sites with kinase substrate specificity on human viruses. PLoS One 2012; 7:e40694.

Abstract
Viruses infect humans and progress inside the body leading to various diseases and complications. The phosphorylation of viral proteins catalyzed by host kinases plays crucial regulatory roles in enhancing replication and inhibition of normal host-cell functions. Due to its biological importance, there is a desire to identify the protein phosphorylation sites on human viruses. However, the use of mass spectrometry-based experiments is proven to be expensive and labor-intensive. Furthermore, previous studies which have identified phosphorylation sites in human viruses do not include the investigation of the responsible kinases. Thus, we are motivated to propose a new method to identify protein phosphorylation sites with its kinase substrate specificity on human viruses. The experimentally verified phosphorylation data were extracted from virPTM – a database containing 301 experimentally verified phosphorylation data on 104 human kinase-phosphorylated virus proteins. In an attempt to investigate kinase substrate specificities in viral protein phosphorylation sites, maximal dependence decomposition (MDD) is employed to cluster a large set of phosphorylation data into subgroups containing significantly conserved motifs. The experimental human phosphorylation sites are collected from Phospho.ELM, grouped according to its kinase annotation, and compared with the virus MDD clusters. This investigation identifies human kinases such as CK2, PKB, CDK, and MAPK as potential kinases for catalyzing virus protein substrates as confirmed by published literature. Profile hidden Markov model is then applied to learn a predictive model for each subgroup. A five-fold cross validation evaluation on the MDD-clustered HMMs yields an average accuracy of 84.93% for Serine, and 78.05% for Threonine. Furthermore, an independent testing data collected from UniProtKB and Phospho.ELM is used to make a comparison of predictive performance on three popular kinase-specific phosphorylation site prediction tools. In the independent testing, the high sensitivity and specificity of the proposed method demonstrate the predictive effectiveness of the identified substrate motifs and the importance of investigating potential kinases for viral protein phosphorylation sites.

Abstract
This is the first report to describe the potential for classification of cancer using anti-phosphoprotein monoclonal antibodies (PPmAbs) and multiple discriminant analysis. Over 150 hybridoma clones producing monoclonal antibodies were generated against a human phosphoprotein mixture derived from a human leukemia cell line. The expression profiles of 22 cell lines from 9 different types of cancer using PPmAbs were examined. The relationship between cancer cells and the expression of human phosphoprotein in the cells was analyzed by multiple discriminant analysis and was used to construct a diagnostic system for cancers. Multiple discriminant analysis was able to successfully classify the cell lines into the correct cancer group by using the diagnostic system for cancers. These results show that multiple discriminant analysis based on phosphoprotein expression in cells or tissues may be a potentially valuable method for assisting in the classification of several cancers.

Abstract
Background High temperature is a critical abiotic stress that reduces crop yield and quality. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants remodel their proteomes in response to high temperature stress. Moreover, phosphorylation is the most common form of protein post-translational modification (PTM). However, the differential expression of phosphoproteins induced by heat in rice remains unexplored. Methods Phosphoprotein in the leaves of rice under heat stress were displayed using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and Pro-Q Diamond dye. Differentially expressed phosphoproteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS/MS and confirmed by Western blotting. Results Ten heat-phosphoproteins were identified from twelve protein spots, including ribulose bisphos-phate carboxylase large chain, 2-Cys peroxiredoxin BAS1, putative mRNA binding protein, Os01g0791600 protein, OSJNBa0076N16.12 protein, putative H(+)-transporting ATP synthase, ATP synthase subunit beta and three putative uncharacterized proteins. The identification of ATP synthase subunit beta was further validated by Western-blotting. Four phosphorylation site predictors were also used to predict the phosphorylation sites and the specific kinases for these 10 phosphoproteins. Conclusion Heat stress induced the dephosphorylation of RuBisCo and the phosphorylation of ATP-β, which decreased the activities of RuBisCo and ATP synthase. The observed dephosphorylation of the mRNA binding protein and 2-Cys peroxiredoxin may be involved in the transduction of heat-stress signaling, but the functional importance of other phosphoproteins, such as H+-ATPase, remains unknown.

Phosphoproteomics profiling of human skin fibroblast cells reveals pathways and proteins affected by low doses of ionizing radiation. PLoS One 2010; 5:e14152.

Abstract
Background High doses of ionizing radiation result in biological damage; however, the precise relationships between long-term health effects, including cancer, and low-dose exposures remain poorly understood and are currently extrapolated using high-dose exposure data. Identifying the signaling pathways and individual proteins affected at the post-translational level by radiation should shed valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms that regulate dose-dependent responses to radiation. Principal Findings We have identified 7117 unique phosphopeptides (2566 phosphoproteins) from control and irradiated (2 and 50 cGy) primary human skin fibroblasts 1 h post-exposure. Semi-quantitative label-free analyses were performed to identify phosphopeptides that are apparently altered by radiation exposure. This screen identified phosphorylation sites on proteins with known roles in radiation responses including TP53BP1 as well as previously unidentified radiation-responsive proteins such as the candidate tumor suppressor SASH1. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that low and high doses of radiation affect both overlapping and unique biological processes and suggest a role for MAP kinase and protein kinase A (PKA) signaling in the radiation response as well as differential regulation of p53 networks at low and high doses of radiation. Conclusions Our results represent the most comprehensive analysis of the phosphoproteomes of human primary fibroblasts exposed to multiple doses of ionizing radiation published to date and provide a basis for the systems-level identification of biological processes, molecular pathways and individual proteins regulated in a dose dependent manner by ionizing radiation. Further study of these modified proteins and affected networks should help to define the molecular mechanisms that regulate biological responses to radiation at different radiation doses and elucidate the impact of low-dose radiation exposure on human health.

Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated prompt elevation of proteinase activity in mammary secretion of drying-off cows and goats. The current study examined the progressive changes in composition of cow mammary secretion following drying-off and, in parallel, characterized the mode of peptide neogenesis using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and liquid chromatography-electrospray-ionization (LC-ESI) MS/MS. The results show that the percentage of casein of total milk protein at time of drying-off was 76%, which dropped to 41%, 24%, and 16%, respectively, 1, 2, and 3 weeks after drying-off. Levels of β-lactoglobulin and α-lactoalbumin in mammary secretions of drying-off cows decreased prominently while levels of lactoferrin, BSA, and casein derived-proteins increased concomitantly compared with regular milk. A fractionation procedure was applied to remove molecules larger than 10 kDa before MALDI-TOF MS and LC-ESI MS/MS and the results show that the MALDI-TOF MS peptide profile of mammary secretion ranging from m/z 600 to 4000 was apparently modified after drying-off for 1 week, whereas species 1590 m/z and 2460 m/z were most obviously enriched compared with regular milk. LC-ESI MS/MS results were used to map peptide sequence with Mascot search server and under no post translational modification to reduce database size and 202 novel β-casein-derived peptides were successfully identified in mammary secretion after drying-off for 1 week in contrast to regular milk. Accordingly at least 48 additional cleavage positions were assigned on β-casein for mammary secretion. Among the 202 novel peptides, 5 are homologous with confirmed opioid agonists, angiotensin 1-converting enzyme inhibitors, or immuno-modulators. In conclusion, peptides are released in situ from milk proteins within short intervals following drying-off in cows. They might play roles in the transition of mammary glands from lactating to non-lactating. With specified post-translational modifications and focused functional screening, novel peptides are yet to be discovered in dry cow mammary secretion.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of proteins is a key posttranslational modification in cellular signaling, regulating many aspects of cellular responses. We used a quantitative, integrated, phosphoproteomics approach to characterize the cellular responses of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the fatty acid oleic acid, a molecule with broad human health implications and a potent inducer of peroxisomes. A combination of cryolysis and urea solubilization was used to minimize the opportunity for reorientation of the phosphoproteome, and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and IMAC chemistries were used to fractionate and enrich for phosphopeptides. Using these approaches, numerous phosphorylated peptides specific to oleate-induced and glucose-repressed conditions were identified and mapped to known signaling pathways. These include several transcription factors, two of which, Pip2p and Cst6p, must be phosphorylated for the normal transcriptional response of fatty acid-responsive loci encoding peroxisomal proteins. The phosphoproteome data were integrated with results from genome-wide assays studying the effects of signaling molecule deletions and known protein-protein interactions to generate a putative fatty acid-responsive signaling network. In this network, the most highly connected nodes are those with the largest effects on cellular responses to oleic acid. These properties are consistent with a scale-free topology, demonstrating that scale-free properties are conserved in condition-specific networks.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of proteins is a predominant, reversible post-translational modification. It is central to a wide variety of physiological responses and signaling mechanisms. Recent advances have allowed the global scope of phosphorylation to be addressed by mass spectrometry using phosphoproteomic approaches. In this perspective, we discuss four aspects of phosphoproteomics: the insights and implications from recently published phosphoproteomic studies and the applications and limitations of current phosphoproteomic strategies. Since approximately 50,000 known phosphorylation sites do not yet have any ascribed function, we present our perspectives on a major function of protein phosphorylation that may be of predictive value in hypothesis-based investigations. Finally, we discuss strategies to measure the stoichiometry of phosphorylation in a proteome-wide manner that is not provided by current phosphoproteomic approaches.

Abstract
Signaling pathways mediate the effect of external stimuli on gene expression in cells. The signaling proteins in these pathways interact with each other and their phosphorylation levels often serve as indicators for the activity of signaling pathways. Several signaling pathways have been identified in mammalian cells but the crosstalk between them is not well understood. Alliance for Cellular Signaling (AfCS) has measured time-course data in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells on important phosphoproteins, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STATs), in single- and double-ligand stimulation experiments for 22 ligands. In the present work, we have used a data-driven approach to analyze the AfCS data to decipher the interactions and crosstalk between signaling pathways in stimulated macrophage cells. We have used dynamic mapping to develop a predictive model using a partial least squares approach. Significant interactions were selected through statistical hypothesis testing and were used to reconstruct the phosphoprotein signaling network. The proposed data-driven approach is able to identify most of the known signaling interactions such as protein kinase B (Akt) --> glycogen synthase kinase 3alpha/beta (GSKalpha/beta) etc., and predicts potential novel interactions such as P38 --> RSK and GSK --> ezrin/radixin/moesin. We have also shown that the model has good predictive power for extrapolation. Our novel approach captures the temporal causality and directionality in intracellular signaling pathways. Further, case specific analysis of the phosphoproteins in the network has led us to propose hypothesis about inhibition (phosphorylation) of GSKalpha/beta via P38.

Phosphoproteomic characterization of PYK2 signaling pathways involved in osteogenesis. J Proteomics 2010; 73:1306-20.

Abstract
The PYK2 tyrosine kinase is a negative regulator of bone formation, but aside from the requirement for PYK2 kinase activity there has been little progress toward understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in this function. To gain insight into the signaling pathways modulated by PYK2 we sought to identify PYK2 substrates. Challenges inherent to a quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis for non-receptor tyrosine kinases were overcome by employing an inducible PYK2 overexpression system in NIH3T3 cells in combination with a selective PYK2 inhibitor. The identification of a number of known PYK2 substrates and interacting partners validated the methodology. Results of the inducible cell system were extended to a cell model of osteogenesis, examining the effect of the PYK2 inhibitor on the phosphorylation state of targets identified in the phosphoproteomic study. Consistent with phosphoproteomic analysis, increased osteogenesis associated with a selective PYK2 inhibitor was accompanied by reduced phosphorylation of paxillin, Gab1 and p130(Cas), along with reduction of phosphorylation levels of the Met activation loop. These results further confirmed the utility of the methodology and point to a previously unknown bi-directional activation pathway between PYK2 and Met.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation plays key roles in the regulation of normal and cancer cells. It is a highly dynamic process. Protein kinases are the targets of several new cancer drugs and drug candidates. However, some of the main issues related to new drugs are how they function and the selection of those patients that will likely respond best to a particular treatment regime. There is an urgent need to understand and monitor kinase signalling pathways. Phosphoproteomics requires the enrichment of phosphorylated proteins or peptides from tissue or bodily fluids, and the application of technologies such as mass spectrometry (MS) to the identification and quantification of protein phosphorylation sites. As the field develops it will provide pharmacodynamic readouts of disease states and cellular drug responses in tumour samples. There have been a number of recent advances, but there are still technical hurdles and bioinformatics challenges that need to be addressed.

Abstract
Although gene expression following bortezomib treatment has been previously explored, direct effects of bortezomib-induced proteasome inhibition on protein level has not been analyzed so far. Using 2-D PAGE in five mantle cell lymphoma cell lines, we screened for cellular protein level alterations following treatment with 25 nM bortezomib for up to 4 h. Using MS, we identified 38 of the 41 most prominent reliably detected protein spots. Twenty-one were affected in all cell lines, whereas the remaining 20 protein spots were exclusively altered in sensitive cell lines. Western blot analysis was performed for 17 of the 38 identified proteins and 70.6% of the observed protein level alterations in 2-D gels was verified. All cell lines exhibited alterations of the cellular protein levels of heat shock-induced protein species (HSPA9, HSP7C, HSPA5, HSPD1), whereas sensitive cell lines also displayed altered cellular protein levels of energy metabolism (ATP5B, AK5, TPI1, ENO-1, ALDOC, GAPDH), RNA and transcriptional regulation (HNRPL, SFRS12) and cell division (NEBL, ACTB, SMC1A, C20orf23) as well as tumor suppressor genes (ENO-1, FH). These proteins clustered in a tight interaction network centered on the major cellular checkpoints TP53. The results were confirmed in primary mantle cell lymphoma, thus confirming the critical role of these candidate proteins of proteasome inhibition.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of any site on a given protein can affect its activity, degradation rate, ability to dock with other proteins or bind divalent cations, and/or its localization. These effects can operate within the same protein; in fact, multisite phosphorylation is a key mechanism for achieving signal integration in cells. Hence, knowing the overall phosphorylation signature of a protein is essential for understanding the "state" of a cell. However, current technologies to monitor the phosphorylation status of proteins are inefficient at determining the relative stoichiometries of phosphorylation at multiple sites. Here we report a new capability for comprehensive liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of intact phosphoproteins. The technology platform builds upon an integration of bottom-up and top-down approaches that is facilitated by intact protein reversed-phase (RP)LC concurrently coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) MS and fraction collection. As the use of conventional RPLC systems for phosphopeptide identification has proven challenging due to the formation of metal ion complexes at various metal surfaces during LC/MS and ESI-MS analysis, we have developed a "metal-free" RPLC-ESI-MS platform for phosphoprotein characterization. This platform demonstrated a significant sensitivity enhancement for phosphorylated casein proteins enriched from a standard protein mixture and revealed the presence of over 20 casein isoforms arising from genetic variants with varying numbers of phosphorylation sites. The integrated workflow was also applied to an enriched yeast phosphoproteome to evaluate the feasibility of this strategy for characterizing complex biological systems and revealed approximately 16% of the detected yeast proteins to have multiple phosphorylation isoforms. The intact protein LC/MS platform for characterization of combinatorial post-translational modifications (PTMs), with special emphasis on multisite phosphorylation, holds great promise to significantly extend our understanding of the roles of multiple PTMs on signaling components that control the cellular responses to various stimuli.

Abstract
All living organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environment for their survival and existence. Signaling is primarily achieved through reversible phosphorylation of proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A change in the phosphorylation state of a protein alters its function to enable the control of cellular responses. A number of serine/threonine kinases regulate the cellular responses of eukaryotes. Although common in eukaryotes, serine/threonine kinases have only recently been identified in prokaryotes. We have described that the human pathogen Group B Streptococcus (GBS, Streptococcus agalactiae) encodes a single membrane-associated, serine/threonine kinase (Stk1) that is important for virulence of this bacterium. In this study, we used a combination of phosphopeptide enrichment and mass spectrometry to enrich and identify serine (S) and threonine (T) phosphopeptides of GBS. A comparison of S/T phosphopeptides identified from the Stk1 expressing strains to the isogenic stk1 mutant indicates that 10 proteins are potential substrates of the GBS Stk1 enzyme. Some of these proteins are phosphorylated by Stk1 in vitro and a site-directed substitution of the phosphorylated threonine to an alanine abolished phosphorylation of an Stk1 substrate. Collectively, these studies provide a novel approach to identify serine/threonine kinase substrates for insight into their signaling in human pathogens like GBS.

Abstract
We present a novel approach that combines MALDI-TOF profile analysis and bioinformatics-based inclusion criteria to comprehensively predict phosphorylation sites on a single protein of interest from limiting sample. It is technologically difficult to unambiguously identify phosphorylated residues, as many physiologically important phosphorylation sites are of too low abundance in vivo to be unambiguously assigned by mass spectrometry. Conversely, phosphorylation site prediction algorithms, while increasingly accurate, nevertheless overestimate the number of phosphorylation sites. In this study, we show that MODICAS, an MS data management and analysis tool, can be effectively merged with the bioinformatics attributes of residue conservation and phosphosite prediction to generate a short list of putative phosphorylation sites that can be subsequently verified by additional methodologies such as phosphospecific antibodies or mutational analysis. Therefore, the combination of MODICAS driven MS data analysis with bioinformatics-based filtering represents a substantial increase in the ability to putatively identify physiologically relevant phosphosites from limited starting material.

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
AIM: To analyze the differential expression of Ca2+-associated protein (CagA) in human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (AGS) infected with H. pylori CagA and to move forward a single step for revealing CagA pathogenic mechanism.
METHODS: Proteins of AGS cells infected with H. pylori 26695 for 4 h, AGS cells infected withH. pylori 26695 △CagA for 4 h, and the uninfected AGS cells as a control group were extracted. Phosphorylated proteins were enriched by metal ion affinity adsorption enrichment techniques. The samples were separated by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technique. Computer assisted image analysis was used to analyze the differential proteomic expression. The significantly differentially expressed proteins were unambiguously assigned identities by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF).
RESULTS: AGS cells treated with H. pylori △CagA showed the same expression as those cultured with the same period of AGS cells. However, expression of AGS cells treated with H. pylori △CagA had significant changes, indicating such a change was simply caused by CagA. Nineteen such protein spots were identified, of which, 3 protein spots were Ca2+-associated. Calcium-binding protein (nucleobindin-2 precursor, CALNUC) had almost the same expression either in AGS cells or 2-D gel under interaction of H. pylori △CagA with the AGS. However, such protein expression was markedly decreased following interaction between H. pylori and AGS.
CONCLUSION: CRT and CALNUC may affect the calcium homeostasis of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and golgi, and then induce the apoptosis or proliferation pathway, which thus serves as a predisposing factor for gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer.

Abstract
Infection with Helicobacter pylori induces various gastric diseases, including ulceration, gastritis and neoplasia. As H. pylori-induced cellular mechanisms leading to these disease states are widely unclear, we analysed the phosphoproteome of H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. Phosphoproteins from infected cells were enriched using affinity columns and analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Eleven novel phosphoproteins that showed differentially regulated phosphorylation levels during H. pylori infection were identified. Interestingly, the identified proteins were actin-binding, transport and folding, RNA/DNA-binding or cancer-associated proteins. We analysed functions of one identified H. pylori-regulated candidate, the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). H. pylori induced VASP phosphorylation at residues Ser157, Ser239 and Thr278, which was enhanced by the bacterial oncogene cytotoxin-associated gene A. Overexpression of a phosphorylation-resistant VASP mutant efficiently blocked host cell elongation. We identified cGMP-dependent protein kinase G-mediated Ser239 and Thr278 phosphorylation of VASP as a crucial event in H. pylori-dependent host cell elongation. These results suggest that phosphorylated VASP could be a novel target candidate for therapeutic intervention in H. pylori-related gastric diseases.

Abstract
We have previously shown that N-methyl- N'-nitro- N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), a well-known DNA alkylating agent and carcinogen, can induce multiple cellular responses with dynamic characteristics, including such responses as nontargeted mutations (NTM) at undamaged bases in DNA, up-regulation of low fidelity DNA polymerases, clustering of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and interference with its downstream signaling pathway. A dose-related analysis also revealed that different concentrations of MNNG can trigger diverse proteome changes associated with different cytotoxic effects. To further understand the dynamic cellular responses and hazardous effects caused by environmental carcinogen, a proteomic time-course study of whole cellular proteins from human amniotic epithelial cells after MNNG treatment was performed. Analysis at three different time points (3, 12 and 24 h after exposure) revealed that the major changes were taking place around 3 and 12 h after exposure. Using MALDI-TOF MS coupled with a micro solid-phase extraction (SPE) device, 90% ( n = 70) differentially expressed proteins were identified. Functional assignment revealed that many important pathways were affected, including the protein biosynthesis pathway and Ran GTPase system. We also carried out a network analysis of these proteins and the data suggest a central role for some key regulators in different pathways.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification that is involved in virtually all eukaryotic cellular processes and has been studied in great detail in recent years. Many developments in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics have been successfully applied to study protein phosphorylation in highly complicated samples. Furthermore, the emergence of a variety of enrichment strategies has allowed some of the challenges associated with low phosphorylation stoichiometry and phosphopeptide copy number to be overcome. The dynamic nature of protein phosphorylation complicates its analysis; however, a number of methods have been developed to successfully quantitate phosphorylation changes in a variety of cellular systems. The following review details some of the most recent breakthroughs in the study of protein phosphorylation, or phosphoproteomics, using MS-based approaches. The majority of the focus is placed on detailing strategies that are currently used to conduct MS-based quantitative phosphoproteomics.

Abstract
While the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases (SFK), and the main ancillary molecules involved in their regulation, have been studied for many years, the details of their interplay are not fully understood and thus remain under active investigation. Additionally, new players that coordinate their regulation and direct their signalling cascades are also being uncovered, shedding new light on the complexity of these signalling networks. Through the utilization of novel interaction assays, several new interconnecting mediators that are helping to show the elegance of Src family kinase regulation have been discovered. This review outlines SFK regulation, the discovery of the Csk binding protein (Phosphoprotein Associated with Glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains, Cbp/PAG), and its role in regulating SFK kinase activity status, as well as protein levels. Further, details of the methods used to identify this dual mode of regulation can be applied to delineate the full gamut of SH2/SH3-directed SFK pathways and, indeed, those of any tyrosine kinase. Using Lyn as a model SFK, we and others have shown that Cbp recruits negative regulators of COOH-terminal Src kinase (Csk)/Csk-like protein-tyrosine kinase (Ctk) after Lyn is activated and bound to Cbp. Lyn phosphorylates Cbp on multiple tyrosine residues, including two that can bind Lyn's SH2 domain with high affinity. Lyn also phosphorylates Y314, which recruits Csk/Ctk to phosphorylate Lyn at its Y508 negative site, allowing an inactive conformation to form. However, the pY508 site has a low affinity for Lyn's SH2 domain, while the Cbp sites have high affinity. Thus, until these Cbp sites are dephosphorylated, Lyn can remain active. Intriguingly, phosphorylated Y314 also binds the suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 (SOCS1), resulting in elevated ubiquitination and degradation of Lyn. Thus, a single phosphotyrosine residue within Cbp co-ordinates a two-phase process involving distinct negative regulatory pathways that allow inactivation, followed by degradation, of SFKs.

Abstract
Reversible protein phosphorylation mediated by protein kinases and phosphatases is the most studied post-translational modification. Efficient characterization of phosphoproteomes is hampered by (1) low stoechiometry, (2) the dynamic nature of the phosphorylation process and (3) the difficulties of mass spectrometry to identify phosphoproteins from complex mixtures and to determine their sites of phosphorylation. Combination of the phosphopeptide enrichment method with MALDI-TOFMS, or alternatively, with HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and MS(3) analysis was shown to be a step forward for the successful application of MS in the study of protein phosphorylation. In our study we used phosphopeptide enrichment performed in a simple single-tube experiment using zirconium dioxide (ZrO(2)). A simple protein mixture containing precipitated bovine milk caseins was enzymatically digested and the mixture of tryptic fragments was analysed before and after enrichment using nanoflow HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI)-MS/MS on QqTOF instruments to compare the efficiency of the two methods in the determination of phosphorylation sites. Both approaches confirm the high selectivity obtained by the use of batch-wise, ZrO(2)-based protocol using di-ammonium phosphate as the eluting buffer. More phosphorylation sites (five for beta-casein and three for alpha(S1)-casein) were characterized by SELDI-MS/MS than by nanoflow HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Therefore, ZrO(2)-based phosphopeptide enrichment combined with SELDI-MS/MS is an attractive alternative to previously reported approaches for the study of protein phosphorylation in mixtures of low complexity with the advance of fast in situ peptide purification. The method was limited to successful analysis of high-abundance proteins. Only one phosphorylation site was determined for the minor casein component alpha(S2)-casein by ESI-MS/MS and none for kappa-casein. Therefore an improvement in enrichment efficiency, especially for successful phosphoproteomic applications, is needed.

Abstract
Recent developments in the field of protein separation allows for the analysis of qualitative and quantitative global protein changes in a particular state of a biological system. Due to the enormous number of proteins potentially present in a cell, sub-fractionation and the enrichment of specific organelles are emerging as a necessary step to allow a more comprehensive representation of the protein content. The proteomic studies demonstrate that a key to understand the mechanisms underlying physiological or pathological phenotypes lies, at least in part, in post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation of proteins. Rapid improvements in proteomic characterization of amino acid modifications are further expanding our comprehension of the importance of these mechanisms. The present review will provide an overview of technologies available for the study of a proteome, including tools to assess changes in protein quantity (abundance) as well as in quality (PTM forms). Examples of the recent application of these technologies and strategies in the field of kinase signalling will be provided with particular attention on the role of PKC in the heart. Studies of PKC-mediated phosphorylation of cytoskeletal, myofilament and mitochondrial proteins in the heart have provided great insight into the phenotypes of heart failure, hypertrophy and cardioprotection. Proteomics studies of the mitochondria have provided novel evidences for kinase signalling cascades localized to the mitochondria, some of which are known to involve various isoforms of PKC. Proteomics technologies allow for the identification of the different PTM forms of specific proteins and this information is likely to provide insight into the determinants of morphological as well as metabolic mal-adaptations, both in the heart and other tissues.

Abstract
Background Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) causes a dramatic reprogramming of cell metabolism during liver transplantation and can be linked to an alteration of the phosphorylation level of several cellular proteins. Over the past two decades, it became clear that tyrosine phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in a variety of important signalling pathways and was linked to a wide spectrum of diseases. Functional profiling of the tyrosine phosphoproteome during liver transplantation is therefore of great biological significance and is likely to lead to the identification of novel targets for drug discovery and provide a basis for novel therapeutic strategies. Results Using liver biopsies collected during the early phases of organ procurement and transplantation, we aimed at characterizing the global patterns of tyrosine phosphorylation during hepatic I/R. A proteomic approach, based on the purification of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins followed by their identification using mass spectrometry, allowed us to identify Nck-1, a SH2/SH3 adaptor, as a potential regulator of I/R injury. Using immunoblot, cell fractionation and immunohistochemistry, we demonstrate that Nck-1 phosphorylation, expression and localization were affected in liver tissue upon I/R. In addition, mass spectrometry identification of Nck-1 binding partners during the course of the transplantation also suggested a dynamic interaction between Nck-1 and actin during I/R. Conclusion Taken together, our data suggest that Nck-1 may play a role in I/R-induced actin reorganization, which was previously reported to be detrimental for the hepatocytes of the transplanted graft. Nck-1 could therefore represent a target of choice for the design of new organ preservation strategies, which could consequently help to reduce post-reperfusion liver damages and improve transplantation outcomes.
