Abstract
Cells encode information in the sequence of biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans. Although glycans are essential to all living organisms, surprisingly little is known about the "sugar code" and the biological roles of these molecules. The reason glycobiology lags behind its counterparts dealing with nucleic acids and proteins lies in the complexity of carbohydrate structures, which renders their analysis extremely challenging. Building blocks that may differ only in the configuration of a single stereocenter, combined with the vast possibilities to connect monosaccharide units, lead to an immense variety of isomers, which poses a formidable challenge to conventional mass spectrometry. In recent years, however, a combination of innovative ion activation methods, commercialization of ion mobility-mass spectrometry, progress in gas-phase ion spectroscopy, and advances in computational chemistry have led to a revolution in mass spectrometry-based glycan analysis. The present review focuses on the above techniques that expanded the traditional glycomics toolkit and provided spectacular insight into the structure of these fascinating biomolecules. To emphasize the specific challenges associated with them, major classes of mammalian glycans are discussed in separate sections. By doing so, we aim to put the spotlight on the most important element of glycobiology: the glycans themselves.

Abstract
Glycine betaine (GBT) is a compatible solute in high concentrations in marine microorganisms. As a component of labile organic matter, GBT has complex biochemical potential as a substrate for microbial use that is unconstrained in the environment. Here we determine the uptake kinetics and metabolic fate of GBT in two natural microbial communities in the North Pacific characterized by different nitrate concentrations. Dissolved GBT had maximum uptake rates of 0.36 and 0.56 nM h−1 with half‐saturation constants of 79 and 11 nM in the high nitrate and low nitrate stations respectively. During multiday incubations, most GBT taken into cells was retained as a compatible solute. Stable isotopes derived from the added GBT were also observed in other metabolites, including choline, carnitine and sarcosine, suggesting that GBT was used for biosynthesis and for catabolism to pyruvate and ammonium. Where nitrate was scarce, GBT was primarily metabolized via demethylation to glycine. Gene transcript data were consistent with SAR11 using GBT as a source of methyl groups to fuel the methionine cycle. Where nitrate concentrations were higher, more GBT was partitioned for lipid biosynthesis by both bacteria and eukaryotic phytoplankton. Our data highlight unexpected metabolic pathways and potential routes of microbial metabolite exchange.

Skin Cancer-Associated S. aureus Strains Can Induce DNA Damage in Human Keratinocytes by Downregulating DNA Repair and Promoting Oxidative Stress. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:2143.

Abstract
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a premalignant lesion, common on severely photodamaged skin, that can progress over time to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A high bacterial load of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with AK and SCC, but it is unknown whether this has a direct impact on skin cancer development. To determine whether S. aureus can have cancer-promoting effects on skin cells, we performed RNA sequencing and shotgun proteomics on primary human keratinocytes after challenge with sterile culture supernatant ('secretome') from four S. aureus clinical strains isolated from AK and SCC. Secretomes of two of the S. aureus strains induced keratinocytes to overexpress biomarkers associated with skin carcinogenesis and upregulated the expression of enzymes linked to reduced skin barrier function. Further, these strains induced oxidative stress markers and all secretomes downregulated DNA repair mechanisms. Subsequent experiments on an expanded set of lesion-associated S. aureus strains confirmed that exposure to their secretomes led to increased oxidative stress and DNA damage in primary human keratinocytes. A significant correlation between the concentration of S. aureus phenol soluble modulin toxins in secretome and the secretome-induced level of oxidative stress and genotoxicity in keratinocytes was observed. Taken together, these data demonstrate that secreted compounds from lesion-associated clinical isolates of S. aureus can have cancer-promoting effects in keratinocytes that may be relevant to skin oncogenesis.

EMBO J 2022; 41:e109191. [PMID: 35451084 PMCID: PMC9108619 DOI: 10.15252/embj.2021109191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The paralogous human proteins UPF3A and UPF3B are involved in recognizing mRNAs targeted by nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay (NMD). UPF3B has been demonstrated to support NMD, presumably by bridging an exon junction complex (EJC) to the NMD factor UPF2. The role of UPF3A has been described either as a weak NMD activator or an NMD inhibitor. Here, we present a comprehensive functional analysis of UPF3A and UPF3B in human cells using combinatory experimental approaches. Overexpression or knockout of UPF3A as well as knockout of UPF3B did not substantially change global NMD activity. In contrast, the co‐depletion of UPF3A and UPF3B resulted in a marked NMD inhibition and a transcriptome‐wide upregulation of NMD substrates, demonstrating a functional redundancy between both NMD factors. In rescue experiments, UPF2 or EJC binding‐deficient UPF3B largely retained NMD activity. However, combinations of different mutants, including deletion of the middle domain, showed additive or synergistic effects and therefore failed to maintain NMD. Collectively, UPF3A and UPF3B emerge as fault‐tolerant, functionally redundant NMD activators in human cells.

Abstract
Targeted proteomics is a method that measures the amount of target proteins via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and is used to verify and validate the candidate cancer biomarker proteins. Compared with antibody-based quantification methods such as ELISA, targeted proteomics enables rapid method development, simultaneous measurement of multiple proteins, and high-specificity detection of modifications. Moreover, by spiking the internal standard peptide, targeted proteomics detects the absolute amounts of marker proteins, which is essential for determining the cut-off values for diagnosis and thus for multi-institutional validation. With these unique features, targeted proteomics can seamlessly transfer cancer biomarker candidate proteins from the discovery phase to the verification and validation phases, thereby resulting in an accelerated cancer biomarker pipeline. Furthermore, understanding the basic principles, advantages, and disadvantages is necessary to effectively utilize targeted proteomics in cancer biomarker pipelines. This review aimed to introduce the technical principles of targeted proteomics for cancer biomarker verification and validation.

Abstract
In targeted metabolomic analysis using liquid chromatography–multiple reaction monitoring–mass spectrometry (LC-MRM-MS), hundreds of MRMs are performed in a single run, yielding a large dataset containing thousands of chromatographic peaks. Automation tools for processing large MRM datasets have been reported, but a visual review of chromatograms is still critical, as real samples with biological matrices often cause complex chromatographic patterns owing to non-specific, insufficiently separated, isomeric, and isotopic components. Herein, we report the development of new software, TRACES, a lightweight chromatogram browser for MRM-based targeted LC-MS analysis. TRACES provides rapid access to all MRM chromatograms in a dataset, allowing users to start ad hoc data browsing without preparations such as loading compound libraries. As a special function of the software, we implemented a chromatogram-level deisotoping function that facilitates the identification of regions potentially affected by isotopic signals. Using MRM libraries containing precursor and product formulae, the algorithm reveals all possible isotopic interferences in the dataset and generates deisotoped chromatograms. To validate the deisotoping function in real applications, we analyzed mouse tissue phospholipids in which isotopic interference by molecules with different fatty-acyl unsaturation levels is known. TRACES successfully removed isotopic signals within the MRM chromatograms, helping users avoid inappropriate regions for integration.

Abstract
Labeo rohita (Rohu) is one of the most important fish species produced in world aquaculture. Integrative omics research provides a strong platform to understand the basic biology and translate this knowledge into sustainable solutions in tackling disease outbreak, increasing productivity and ensuring food security. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has provided insights to understand the biology in a new direction. Very little proteomics work has been done on 'Rohu' limiting such resources for the aquaculture community. Here, we utilised an extensive mass spectrometry based proteomic profiling data of 17 histologically normal tissues, plasma and embryo of Rohu to develop an open source PeptideAtlas. The current build of "Rohu PeptideAtlas" has mass-spectrometric evidence for 6015 high confidence canonical proteins at 1% false discovery rate, 2.9 million PSMs and ~150 thousand peptides. This is the first open-source proteomics repository for an aquaculture species. The 'Rohu PeptideAtlas' would promote basic and applied aquaculture research to address the most critical challenge of ensuring nutritional security for a growing population.

Absolute Quantification of Nav1.5 Expression by Targeted Mass Spectrometry. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084177.

Abstract
Nav1.5 is the pore forming α-subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel that initiates cardiac action potential and regulates the human heartbeat. A normal level of Nav1.5 is crucial to cardiac function and health. Over- or under-expression of Nav1.5 can cause various cardiac diseases ranging from short PR intervals to Brugada syndromes. An assay that can directly quantify the protein amount in biological samples would be a priori to accurately diagnose and treat Nav1.5-associated cardiac diseases. Due to its large size (>200 KD), multipass transmembrane domains (24 transmembrane passes), and heavy modifications, Nav1.5 poses special quantitation challenges. To date, only the relative quantities of this protein have been measured in biological samples. Here, we describe the first targeted and mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative assay that can provide the copy numbers of Nav1.5 in cells with a well-defined lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and precision. Applying the developed assay, we successfully quantified transiently expressed Nav1.5 in as few as 1.5 million Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The obtained quantity was 3 ± 2 fmol on the column and 3 ± 2 × 104 copies/cell. To our knowledge, this is the first absolute quantity of Nav1.5 measured in a biological sample.

Abstract
Mounting evidence has shown that the accumulation of senescent cells in the central nervous system contributes to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest that typically occurs in response to exposure to sub-lethal stresses. However, like other non-dividing cells, senescent cells remain metabolically active and carry out many functions that require unique transcriptional and translational demands and widespread changes in the intracellular and secreted proteomes. Understanding how protein synthesis and decay rates change during senescence can illuminate the underlying mechanisms of cellular senescence and find potential therapeutic avenues for diseases exacerbated by senescent cells. This paper describes a method for proteome-scale evaluation of protein half-lives in non-dividing cells using pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (pSILAC) in combination with mass spectrometry. pSILAC involves metabolic labeling of cells with stable heavy isotope-containing versions of amino acids. Coupled with modern mass spectrometry approaches, pSILAC enables the measurement of protein turnover of hundreds or thousands of proteins in complex mixtures. After metabolic labeling, the turnover dynamics of proteins can be determined based on the relative enrichment of heavy isotopes in peptides detected by mass spectrometry. In this protocol, a workflow is described for the generation of senescent fibroblast cultures and similarly arrested quiescent fibroblasts, as well as a simplified, single-time point pSILAC labeling time-course that maximizes coverage of anticipated protein turnover rates. Further, a pipeline is presented for the analysis of pSILAC mass spectrometry data and user-friendly calculation of protein degradation rates using spreadsheets. The application of this protocol can be extended beyond senescent cells to any non-dividing cultured cells such as neurons.

Technology in Human Liver Cells. Curr Protein Pept Sci 2022; 23:290-298. [DOI: 10.2174/1389203723666220526092941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Aims:
The main goal of the Russian part of C-HPP is to detect and functionally annotate
missing proteins (PE2-PE4) encoded by human chromosome 18. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to
use the most sensitive methods of analysis.
Background:
However, identifying such proteins in a complex biological mixture using mass spectrometry
(MS)-based methods is difficult due to the insufficient sensitivity of proteomic analysis methods.
A possible solution to the problem is the pre-fractionation of a complex biological sample at the
sample preparation stage.
Objective:
This study aims to measure the detection limit of SRM SIS analysis using a standard set of
UPS1 proteins and find a way to enhance the sensitivity of the analysis and to, detect proteins encoded
by the human chromosome 18 in liver tissue samples, and compare the data with transcriptomic analysis
of the same samples.
Methods:
Mass spectrometry, data-dependent acquisition, selected reaction monitoring, highperformance
liquid chromatography, data-dependent acquisition in combination with pre-fractionation
by alkaline reversed-phase chromatography, selected reaction monitoring in combination with prefractionation
by alkaline reversed-phase chromatography methods were used in this study.
Results:
The results revealed that 100% of UPS1 proteins in a mixture could only be identified at a
concentration of at least 10-9 М. The decrease in concentration leads to protein losses associated with
technology sensitivity, and no UPS1 protein is detected at a concentration of 10-13 М. Therefore, the
two-dimensional fractionation of samples was applied to improve sensitivity. The human liver tissue
was examined by selected reaction monitoring and shotgun methods of MS analysis using onedimensional
and two-dimensional fractionation to identify the proteins encoded by human chromosome
18. A total of 134 proteins were identified. The overlap between proteomic and transcriptomic data in
human liver tissue was ~50%.
Conclusion:
The sample concentration technique is well suited for a standard UPS1 system that is not
contaminated with a complex biological sample. However, it is not suitable for use with a complex biological
protein mixture. Thus, it is necessary to develop more sophisticated fractionation systems for the
detection of all low-copy proteins. This weak convergence is due to the low sensitivity of proteomic
technology compared to transcriptomic approaches. Also, total mRNA was used to perform RNA-seq
analysis, but not all detected mRNA molecules could be translated into proteins. This introduces additional
uncertainty in the data; in the future, we plan to study only translated mRNA molecules-the translatome.
Data is available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD026997.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment (TME) impair T cell function and limit the antitumor immune response. T cell surface receptors and surface proteins that influence interactions and function in the TME are proven targets for cancer immunotherapy. However, how the entire surface proteome remodels in primary human T cells in response to specific suppressive factors in the TME remains to be broadly and systematically characterized. Here, using a reductionist cell culture approach with primary human T cells and stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in cell culture–based quantitative cell surface capture glycoproteomics, we examined how two immunosuppressive TME factors, regulatory T cells (Tregs) and hypoxia, globally affect the activated CD8+ surface proteome (surfaceome). Surprisingly, coculturing primary CD8+ T cells with Tregs only modestly affected the CD8+ surfaceome but did partially reverse activation-induced surfaceomic changes. In contrast, hypoxia drastically altered the CD8+ surfaceome in a manner consistent with both metabolic reprogramming and induction of an immunosuppressed state. The CD4+ T cell surfaceome similarly responded to hypoxia, revealing a common hypoxia-induced surface receptor program. Our surfaceomics findings suggest that hypoxic environments create a challenge for T cell activation. These studies provide global insight into how Tregs and hypoxia remodel the T cell surfaceome and we believe represent a valuable resource to inform future therapeutic efforts to enhance T cell function. Quantitative surface proteomics of primary human T cells Activation, regulatory T cells, and hypoxia induce bidirectional surfaceome changes Hypoxia dramatically remodels the primary T cell surface proteome Both regulatory T cells and hypoxia downregulate nutrient transporter expression

Abstract
The data was acquired from 3 normal human liver tissues by LC-MS methods. The tissue liver samples from male subjects post mortem were obtained from ILSBio LLC (https://bioivt.com/). Liver tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen, transported and shipped on dry ice. The proteins were extracted and purified followed up by trypsin hydrolysis. The peptide mixture was aliquoted and analyzed by different LC-MS approaches: one-dimensional shotgun LC-MS, two-dimensional LC-MS, two-dimensional SRM SIS (Selected Reaction Monitoring with Stable Isotope-labeled peptide Standards). The Shotgun assay resulted in a qualitative in-depth human liver proteome, and a semi-quantitative iBAQ (intensity-based absolute quantification) value was calculated to show the relative protein content of the sample. Absolute quantitative concentrations of proteins encoded by human chromosome 18 using SRM SIS were obtained.

Abstract
The members of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) superfamily often exhibit functional overlap and can compensate for each other. Their concentrations in serum are considered as disease biomarkers. A global and quantitative evaluation of serum GSTs is therefore urgent, but there is a lack of efficient approaches due to technological limitations. GSH magnetic beads were examined for their affinity to enrich GSTs in serum, and the enriched GSTs were quantitatively targeted using a Q Exactive HF-X mass spectrometer in parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mode. To optimize the quantification of GST peptides, sample types, trypsin digestion, and serum loading were carefully assessed; a biosynthetic method was employed to generate isotope-labeled GST peptides, and instrumental parameters were systematically optimized. A total of 134 clinical sera were collected for GST quantification from healthy donors and patients with four liver diseases. Using the new approach, GSTs in healthy sera were profiled: 14 GST peptides were quantified, and the abundance of five GST families was ranked GSTM > GSTP > GSTA > MGST1 > GSTT1, ranging from 0.1 to 4 pmol/L. Furthermore, combining the abundance of multiple GST peptides could effectively distinguish different types of liver diseases. Quantification of serum GSTs through targeted proteomics, therefore, has apparent clinical potential for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
In recent decades, proteinic drugs, in particular monoclonal antibodies, are taking the leading role of small molecule drugs, and peptide mapping relying on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an emerging approach to substitute the role of a ligand-binding assay for the quality control of the proteinic drugs. However, such LC-MS/MS approaches extensively suffer from time-intensive measurements, leading to a limited throughput. To achieve accelerated measurements, here, the potential of DI-MS/MSALL towards tryptic peptide mapping was evaluated through comparing with well-defined LC-MS/MS means, and human serum albumin (HSA) was employed as the representative protein for applicability illustration. Among the 55 tryptic peptides theoretically suggested by Skyline software, 47 were successfully captured by DI-MS/MSALL through acquiring the desired MS2 spectra, in comparison to 51 detected by LC-MS/MS. DI-MS/MSALL measurements merely took 5 min, which was dramatically superior to the LC-MS/MS assay. Noteworthily, different from fruitful multi-charged MS1 signals for LC-MS/MS, most quasi-molecular ions received lower charged states. DI-MS/MSALL also possessed advantages such as lower solvent consumption and facile instrumentation; however, more sample was consumed. In conclusion, DI-MS/MSALL is eligible to act as an alternative analytical tool for LC-MS/MS towards the peptide mapping of proteinic drugs, particularly when a heavy measurement workload. DI-MS/MSALL records MS2 spectrum at each 1 Da mass window through gas phase ion fractionation theory, and is eligible to act as an alternative analytical tool for LC-MS/MS towards the peptide mapping of proteinic drugs.![]()

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mass spectrometry-based proteomics reveals dynamic molecular signatures underlying phenotypes reflecting normal and perturbed conditions in living systems. Although valuable on its own, the proteome has only one level of moleclar information, with the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and metabolome, all providing complementary information. Multi-omic analysis integrating information from one or more of these other domains with proteomic information provides a more complete picture of molecular contributors to dynamic biological systems. AREAS COVERED Here, we discuss the improvements to mass spectrometry-based technologies, focused on peptide-based, bottom-up approaches that have enabled deep, quantitative characterization of complex proteomes. These advances are facilitating the integration of proteomics data with other 'omic information, providing a more complete picture of living systems. We also describe the current state of bioinformatics software and approaches for integrating proteomics and other 'omics data, critical for enabling new discoveries driven by multi-omics. EXPERT COMMENTARY Multi-omics, centered on the integration of proteomics information with other 'omic information, has tremendous promise for biological and biomedical studies. Continued advances in approaches for generating deep, reliable proteomic data and bioinformatics tools aimed at integrating data across 'omic domains will ensure the discoveries offered by these multi-omic studies continue to increase.

Abstract
The Mla (Mildew resistance locus a) of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an effective model for cereal immunity against fungal pathogens. Like many resistance proteins, variants of the MLA coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (CC-NLR) receptor often require the HRS complex (HSP90, RAR1, and SGT1) to function. However, functional analysis of Sgt1 has been particularly difficult, as deletions are often lethal. Recently, we identified rar3 (required for Mla6 resistance 3), an in-frame Sgt1ΔKL308-309 mutation in the SGT1-specific domain, that alters resistance conferred by MLA but without lethality. Here, we use autoactive MLA6 and recombinant yeast-two-hybrid strains with stably integrated HvRar1 and HvHsp90 to determine that this mutation weakens but does not entirely disrupt the interaction between SGT1 and MLA. This causes a concomitant reduction in MLA6 protein accumulation below the apparent threshold required for effective resistance. The ΔKL308-309 deletion had a lesser effect on intramolecular interactions than alanine or arginine substitutions, and MLA variants that display diminished interactions with SGT1 appear to be disproportionately affected by the SGT1ΔKL308-309 mutation. We hypothesize that those dimeric plant CC-NLRs that appear unaffected by Sgt1 silencing are those with the strongest intermolecular interactions with it. Combining our data with recent work in CC-NLRs, we propose a cyclical model of the MLA-HRS resistosome interactions.[Formula: see text] The author(s) have dedicated the work to the public domain under the Creative Commons CC0 "No Rights Reserved" license by waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law, 2022.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic accuracy of a plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 assay in classifying amyloid PET status across global research studies using samples collected by multiple centers that utilize different blood collection and processing protocols. METHODS Plasma samples (n = 465) were obtained from 3 large Alzheimer disease (AD) research cohorts in the United States (n = 182), Australia (n = 183), and Sweden (n = 100). Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 was measured by a high precision immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IPMS) assay and compared to the reference standards of amyloid PET and CSF Aβ42/Aβ40. RESULTS In the combined cohort of 465 participants, plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 had good concordance with amyloid PET status (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve [AUC] 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-0.87); concordance improved with the inclusion of APOE ε4 carrier status (AUC 0.88, 95% CI 0.85-0.91). The AUC of plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 with CSF amyloid status was 0.85 (95% CI 0.78-0.91) and improved to 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.97) with APOE ε4 status. These findings were consistent across the 3 cohorts, despite differences in protocols. The assay performed similarly in both cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals. DISCUSSION Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 is a robust measure for detecting amyloid plaques and can be utilized to aid in the diagnosis of AD, identify those at risk for future dementia due to AD, and improve the diversity of populations enrolled in AD research and clinical trials. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class II evidence that plasma Aβ42/Aβ40, as measured by a high precision IPMS assay, accurately diagnoses brain amyloidosis in both cognitively unimpaired and impaired research participants.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a sensor of products of tryptophan metabolism and a potent modulator of immunity. Here, we examined the impact of AhR in tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) function in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). TAMs exhibited high AhR activity and Ahr-deficient macrophages developed an inflammatory phenotype. Deletion of Ahr in myeloid cells or pharmacologic inhibition of AhR reduced PDAC growth, improved efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, and increased intra-tumoral frequencies of IFNγ+CD8+ T cells. Macrophage tryptophan metabolism was not required for this effect. Rather, macrophage AhR activity was dependent on Lactobacillus metabolization of dietary tryptophan to indoles. Removal of dietary tryptophan reduced TAM AhR activity and promoted intra-tumoral accumulation of TNFα+IFNγ+CD8+ T cells; provision of dietary indoles blocked this effect. In patients with PDAC, high AHR expression associated with rapid disease progression and mortality, as well as with an immune-suppressive TAM phenotype, suggesting conservation of this regulatory axis in human disease.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections are characterized by remarkable differences, including infectivity and case fatality rate. The underlying mechanisms are not well understood, illustrating major knowledge gaps of coronavirus biology. In this study, protein expression of the SARS-CoV- and SARS-CoV-2-infected human lung epithelial cell line Calu-3 was analyzed using data-independent acquisition-mass spectrometry. This resulted in a comprehensive map of infection-related proteome-wide expression changes in human cells covering the quantification of 7478 proteins across four time points. Most notably, the activation of interferon type-I response was observed, which is surprisingly absent in several proteome studies. The data reveal that SARS-CoV-2 triggers interferon-stimulated gene expression much stronger than SARS-CoV, which reflects the already described differences in interferon sensitivity. Potentially, this may be caused by the enhanced abundance of the viral M protein of SARS-CoV in comparison to SARS-CoV-2, which is a known inhibitor of type I interferon expression. This study expands the knowledge on the host response to SARS-CoV-2 infections on a global scale using an infection model, which seems to be well suited to analyze the innate immunity.

Abstract
Structural plasticity and dynamic protein-protein interactions are critical determinants of protein function within living systems. Quantitative chemical cross-linking with mass spectrometry (qXL-MS) is an emerging technology able to provide information on changes in protein conformations and interactions. Importantly, qXL-MS is applicable to complex biological systems, including living cells and tissues, thereby providing insights into proteins within their native environments. Here, we present an overview of recent technological developments and applications involving qXL-MS, including design and synthesis of isotope-labeled cross-linkers, development of new liquid chromatography-MS methodologies, and computational developments enabling interpretation of the data.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The detection and quantification of soy protein is important for food allergen management and identifying the presence of undeclared soy proteins. Heat processing and matrix interactions can affect the accuracy of allergen detection methods. The sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods can be compromised if protein epitopes are modified during processing. Therefore, a mass spectrometry (MS)-based method was evaluated for the recovery of total soy protein in incurred matrices. MS-based quantification of total soy protein was assessed by using a combination of external and internal standards. The reproducibility of the standard curves was investigated by comparing within-day and among-day variation. Incurred samples were prepared using bread and frankfurters as model food matrices. Several soy-derived ingredients were used to prepare the matrices with varying levels of soy protein (1, 10, 50, or 100 ppm of total soy protein). A pooled standard curve was used to estimate the total soy protein concentration of the incurred food matrices and the percent total protein recovery. The variation of replicate standard curves between days and among all days was not significant. The differences in slopes obtained from replicate standards run on different days were minimal. The most influential factor on the quantitative protein recovery in incurred samples was the effect of the physical matrix structure on protein extraction. The lowest percent protein recoveries, less than 50%, were calculated for uncooked matrices. The cooked matrices had percentage recoveries between 50 and 150% for all total soy protein levels. Other factors, such as type of ingredient, were determined to be not as impactful on recovery. The MS method described in this study was able to provide sensitive detection and accurate quantification of total soy protein from various soy-derived ingredients present in processed food matrices.

Abstract
While much effort has been placed on comprehensive quantitative proteome analysis, certain applications demand the measurement of only a few target proteins from complex systems. Traditional approaches to targeted proteomics rely on nanoliquid chromatography (nLC) and targeted mass spectrometry (MS) methods, e.g., parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). However, the time requirement for nLC can limit the throughput of targeted proteomics. To achieve rapid and high-throughput targeted methods, here we show that nLC separations can be eliminated and replaced with direct infusion shotgun proteome analysis (DISPA) using high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) with PRM. We demonstrate the application of DISPA-PRM for rapid targeted quantification of bacterial enzymes utilized in the production of biofuels by monitoring temporal expression in 72 metabolically engineered bacterial cultures in less than 2.5 h, with a measured dynamic range >1200-fold. We conclude that DISPA-PRM presents a valuable innovative tool with results comparable to nLC-MS/MS, enabling fast and rapid detection of targeted proteins in complex mixtures.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent a major category of biopharmaceutical products which due to their success as therapeutics have recently experienced the emergence of mAbs originating from different types of trafficking. We report the development of an analytical strategy which enables the structural identification of mAbs in addition to comprehensive characterization and quantification in samples in potentially counterfeit samples. The strategy is based on the concomitant use of capillary zone electrophoresis analysis (CZE-UV), size exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) and liquid chromatography hyphenated to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This analytical strategy was applied to the investigation of different samples having unknown origins seized by the authorities, and potentially incorporating an IgG 4 or an IgG 1. The results achieved from the different techniques demonstrated to provide orthogonal and complementary information regarding the nature and the structure of the different mAbs. Therefore, they allowed to conclude unequivocally on the identification of the mAbs in the potentially counterfeit samples. Finally, a LC-MS/MS quantification method was developed which specificity was to incorporate a different mAbs labeled with stable isotopes as internal standard. The LC-MS/MS quantification method was validated and thus demonstrated the possibility to use common peptides with the considered IgG in order to achieve limit of quantification as low as 41.4 nM. The quantification method was used to estimate the concentration in the investigated samples using a single type of internal standard and experimental conditions, even in the case of mAbs with no stable isotope labeled homologues available.

SETDB1-like MET-2 promotes transcriptional silencing and development independently of its H3K9me-associated catalytic activity. Nat Struct Mol Biol 2022; 29:85-96. [PMID: 35102319 PMCID: PMC8850192 DOI: 10.1038/s41594-021-00712-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Transcriptionally silenced heterochromatin bearing methylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 (H3K9me) is critical for maintaining organismal viability and tissue integrity. Here we show that in addition to ensuring H3K9me, MET-2, the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of the SETDB1 histone methyltransferase, has a noncatalytic function that contributes to gene repression. Subnuclear foci of MET-2 coincide with H3K9me deposition, yet these foci also form when MET-2 is catalytically deficient and H3K9me is compromised. Whereas met-2 deletion triggers a loss of silencing and increased histone acetylation, foci of catalytically deficient MET-2 maintain silencing of a subset of genes, blocking acetylation on H3K9 and H3K27. In normal development, this noncatalytic MET-2 activity helps to maintain fertility. Under heat stress MET-2 foci disperse, coinciding with increased acetylation and transcriptional derepression. Our study suggests that the noncatalytic, focus-forming function of this SETDB1-like protein and its intrinsically disordered cofactor LIN-65 is physiologically relevant. Genetic and genome-wide analysis of a catalytically deficient SETDB1-like enzyme, MET-2, in Caenorhabditiselegans reveals that MET-2 promotes transcriptional silencing and fertility through both H3K9 methylation and focus formation, which blocks histone acetylation.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomic methods have become some of the major tools for protein biomarker discovery and validation. The recently developed parallel reaction monitoring-parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (prm-PASEF) approach on a Bruker timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer allows the addition of ion mobility as a new dimension to LC-MS-based proteomics and increases proteome coverage at a reduced analysis time. In this study, a prm-PASEF approach was used for the multiplexed absolute quantitation of proteins in human plasma using isotope-labeled peptide standards for 125 plasma proteins, over a broad (104-106) dynamic range. Optimization of LC and MS parameters, such as accumulation time and collision energy, resulted in improved sensitivity for more than half of the targets (73 out of 125 peptides) by increasing the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of up to 10. Overall, 41 peptides showed up to a 2-fold increase in sensitivity, 25 peptides showed up to a 5-fold increase in sensitivity, and 7 peptides showed up to a 10-fold increase in sensitivity. Implementation of the prm-PASEF method allowed absolute protein quantitation (down to 1.13 fmol) in human plasma samples. A comparison of the concentration values of plasma proteins determined by MRM on a QTRAP instrument and by prm-PASEF on a timsTOF Pro revealed an excellent correlation (R2 = 0.97) with a slope of close to 1 (0.99), demonstrating that prm-PASEF is well suited for "absolute" quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the interaction between weight loss (WL) and plasma amyloid-β 42/40 (Aβ 42/40), neurofilament light chain (NfL), progranulin, and their association with cognitive decline over time among older adults. This 5-year observational approach included 470 participants from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial, mean age 76.8 years (SD = 4.5), 59.4% women. WL was defined as ≥5% decrease over the first year. Biomarkers were measured at 12 months. Cognitive function was assessed yearly from 12 months onward by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); Clinical Dementia Rating sum of boxes (CDR-SB); a composite score based on Category Naming Test; Digit Symbol Substitution Test; 10 MMSE orientation items (MMSEO) and free and total recall of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding test; and these tests individually. Twenty-seven participants (5.7%) presented WL. In adjusted analyses, combined WL + lower Aβ 42/40 (≤0.103, lowest quartile) was related with more pronounced 4-year cognitive decline according to CDR-SB (p < .0001) and MMSEO (p = .021), compared with non-WL + higher Aβ 42/40. WL + higher NfL (>94.55 pg/mL, highest quartile) or progranulin (>38.4 ng/mL, 3 higher quartiles) were related with higher cognitive decline according to CDR-SB, MMSE, MMSEO, and composite score (all p < .03), compared with non-WL + lower NfL or higher progranulin. Regrouping progranulin quartiles (Q1-Q3 vs Q4) revealed higher cognitive decline among the WL + lower progranulin group compared with non-WL + lower progranulin. In conclusion, 1-year WL was associated with subsequent higher 4-year cognitive decline among older adults presenting low Aβ 42/40 or high NfL. Future studies combining plasma biomarker assessments and body weight surveillance may be useful for identifying people at risk of cognitive impairment. Clinical trial number: NCT00672685.

Abstract
One of the potential benefits of using data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics protocols is that information not originally targeted by the study may be present and discovered by subsequent analysis. Herein, we reanalyzed DIA data originally recorded for global proteomic analysis to look for isomerized peptides, which occur as a result of spontaneous chemical modifications to long-lived proteins. Examination of a large set of human brain samples revealed a striking relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) status and isomerization of aspartic acid in a peptide from tau. Relative to controls, a surprising increase in isomer abundance was found in both autosomal dominant and sporadic AD samples. To explore potential mechanisms that might account for these observations, quantitative analysis of proteins related to isomerization repair and autophagy was performed. Differences consistent with reduced autophagic flux in AD-related samples relative to controls were found for numerous proteins, including most notably p62, a recognized indicator of autophagic inhibition. These results suggest, but do not conclusively demonstrate, that lower autophagic flux may be strongly associated with loss of function in AD brains. This study illustrates that DIA data may contain unforeseen results of interest and may be particularly useful for pilot studies investigating new research directions. In this case, a promising target for future investigations into the therapy and prevention of AD has been identified.

Abstract
Viral infections facilitate bacterial trafficking to the lower respiratory tract resulting in bacterial-viral co-infections. Bacterial dissemination to the lower respiratory tract is enhanced by influenza A virus induced epithelial cell damage and dysregulation of immune responses. Epithelial cells act as a line of defense and detect pathogens by a high variety of pattern recognition receptors. The post-translational modification ubiquitin is involved in almost every cellular process. Moreover, ubiquitination contributes to the regulation of host immune responses, influenza A virus uncoating and transport within host cells. We applied proteomics with a special focus on ubiquitination to assess the impact of single bacterial and viral as well as bacterial-viral co-infections on bronchial epithelial cells. We used Tandem Ubiquitin Binding Entities to enrich polyubiquitinated proteins and assess changes in the ubiquitinome. Infecting 16HBE cells with Streptococcus pyogenes led to an increased abundance of proteins related to mitochondrial translation and energy metabolism in proteome and ubiquitinome. In contrast, influenza A virus infection mainly altered the ubiquitinome. Co-infections had no additional impact on protein abundances or affected pathways. Changes in protein abundance and enriched pathways were assigned to imprints of both infecting pathogens. SIGNIFICANCE: Viral and bacterial co-infections of the lower respiratory tract are a burden for health systems worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the complex interplay between the host and the infecting pathogens. Thus, we analyzed the proteome and the ubiquitinome of co-infected bronchial epithelial cells to elaborate a potential synergism of the two infecting organisms. The results presented in this work can be used as a starting point for further analyses.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry a wide range of molecules, such as proteins, RNAs, and DNA. EVs are secreted from a wide range of cells, including placental cells. Interestingly, EVs secreted from placental cells have been identified in maternal circulation as early as 6 weeks of gestation, and their concentration increases with the gestational age. While there is growing interest in elucidating the role of exosomes during normal and complicated pregnancies, progress in the field has been delayed because of the inability to quantify placental EVs from the maternal circulation. Recent reports have demonstrated the presence of placental-type alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) EVs only in the blood of pregnant women, indicating that PLAP is a marker to identify EVs secreted from the placenta. Therefore, here we describe a workflow to quantify placental EVs from maternal circulation using a targeted proteomics approach based on selecting specific peptides identified in the PLAP protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synaptic proteins are increasingly studied as biomarkers for synaptic dysfunction and loss, which are early and central events in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and strongly correlate with the degree of cognitive decline. In this study, we specifically investigated the synaptic binding partners neurexin (NRXN) and neuroligin (Nlgn) proteins, to assess their biomarker's potential. METHODS we developed a parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous quantification of NRXNs and Nlgns in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on AD. Specifically, NRXN-1α, NRXN-1β, NRXN-2α, NRXN-3α and Nlgn1, Nlgn2, Nlgn3 and Nlgn4 proteins were targeted. FINDINGS The proteins were investigated in a clinical cohort including CSF from controls (n=22), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD (n=44), MCI due to other conditions (n=46), AD (n=77) and a group of non-AD dementia (n=28). No difference in levels of NRXNs and Nlgns was found between AD (both at dementia and MCI stages) or controls or the non-AD dementia group for any of the targeted proteins. NRXN and Nlgn proteins correlated strongly with each other, but only a weak correlation with the AD core biomarkers and the synaptic biomarkers neurogranin and growth-associated protein 43, was found, possibly reflecting different pathogenic processing at the synapse. INTERPRETATION we conclude that NRXN and Nlgn proteins do not represent suitable biomarkers for synaptic pathology in AD. The panel developed here could aid in future investigations of the potential involvement of NRXNs and Nlgns in synaptic dysfunction in other disorders of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Poplars are among the fastest-growing trees and significant resources in agriculture and forestry. However, rapid growth requires a large water consumption, and irrigation water provides a natural means for pathogen spread. That includes members of Phytophthora spp. that have proven to be a global enemy to forests. With the known adaptability to new hosts, it is only a matter of time for more aggressive Phytophthora species to become a threat to poplar forests and plantations. Here, the effects of artificial inoculation with two different representatives of aggressive species (P. cactorum and P. plurivora) were analyzed in the proteome of the Phytophthora-tolerant hybrid poplar clone T-14 [Populus tremula L. 70 × (Populus × canescens (Ait.) Sm. 23)]. Wood microcore samples were collected at the active necrosis borders to provide insight into the molecular processes underlying the observed tolerance to Phytophthora. The analysis revealed the impact of Phytophthora on poplar primary and secondary metabolism, including carbohydrate-active enzymes, amino acid biosynthesis, phenolic metabolism, and lipid metabolism, all of which were confirmed by consecutive metabolome and lipidome profiling. Modulations of enzymes indicating systemic response were confirmed by the analysis of leaf proteome, and sampling of wood microcores in distal locations revealed proteins with abundance correlating with proximity to the infection, including germin-like proteins, components of proteosynthesis, glutamate carboxypeptidase, and an enzyme that likely promotes anthocyanin stability. Finally, the identified Phytophthora-responsive proteins were compared to those previously found in trees with compromised defense against Phytophthora, namely, Quercus spp. and Castanea sativa. That provided a subset of candidate markers of Phytophthora tolerance, including certain ribosomal proteins, auxin metabolism enzymes, dioxygenases, polyphenol oxidases, trehalose-phosphate synthase, mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase, and rhamnose biosynthetic enzymes. In summary, this analysis provided the first insight into the molecular mechanisms of hybrid poplar defense against Phytophthora and identified prospective targets for improving Phytophthora tolerance in trees.

Abstract
Feeding and growth are two closely related and important physiological processes in living organisms. Studies in mammals have provided us with a series of characterizations of neuropeptides and their receptors as well as their roles in appetite control and growth. The central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus, plays an important role in the regulation of appetite. Based on their role in the regulation of feeding, neuropeptides can be classified as orexigenic peptide and anorexigenic peptide. To date, the regulation mechanism of neuropeptide on feeding and growth has been explored mainly from mammalian models, however, as a lower and diverse vertebrate, little is known in fish regarding the knowledge of regulatory roles of neuropeptides and their receptors. In recent years, the development of omics and gene editing technology has accelerated the speed and depth of research on neuropeptides and their receptors. These powerful techniques and tools allow a more precise and comprehensive perspective to explore the functional mechanisms of neuropeptides. This paper reviews the recent advance of omics and gene editing technologies in neuropeptides and receptors and their progresses in the regulation of feeding and growth of fish. The purpose of this review is to contribute to a comparative understanding of the functional mechanisms of neuropeptides in non-mammalians, especially fish.

Abstract
Identification of bacterial species in biological samples is essential in many applications. However, the standard methods usually use a time-consuming bacterial culture (24-48 h) and sometimes lack in specificity. To overcome these limitations, we developed a new protocol, combining LC-MS/MS analysis in Data Independent Acquisition mode and machine learning algorithms, enabling the accurate identification of the bacterial species contaminating a sample in a few hours without bacterial culture. In this chapter, we describe the three steps of the protocol (spectral libraries generation, training step, identification step) to generate customized peptide signatures and use them for bacterial identification in biological samples through targeted proteomics analyses and prediction models.

Abstract
An increasing number of genetic diseases are linked to deregulation of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Loss-of-function mutations in the RING-between-RING (RBR) family E3 ligase RNF216 (TRIAD3) cause Gordon-Holmes syndrome (GHS) and related neurodegenerative diseases. Functionally, RNF216 assembles K63-linked ubiquitin chains and has been implicated in regulation of innate immunity signaling pathways and synaptic plasticity. Here, we report crystal structures of key RNF216 reaction states including RNF216 in complex with ubiquitin and its reaction product, K63 di-ubiquitin. Our data provide a molecular explanation for chain-type specificity and reveal the molecular basis for disruption of RNF216 function by pathogenic GHS mutations. Furthermore, we demonstrate how RNF216 activity and chain-type specificity are regulated by phosphorylation and that RNF216 is allosterically activated by K63-linked di-ubiquitin. These molecular insights expand our understanding of RNF216 function and its role in disease and further define the mechanistic diversity of the RBR E3 ligase family.

Abstract

Skyline Batch is
a newly developed Windows forms application that
enables the easy and consistent reprocessing of data with Skyline.
Skyline has made previous advances in this direction; however, none
enable seamless automated reprocessing of local and remote files.
Skyline keeps a log of all of the steps that were taken in the document;
however, reproducing these steps takes time and allows room for human
error. Skyline also has a command-line interface, enabling it to be
run from a batch script, but using the program in this way requires
expertise in editing these scripts. By formalizing the workflow of
a highly used set of batch scripts into an intuitive and powerful
user interface, Skyline Batch can reprocess data stored in remote
repositories just by opening and running a Skyline Batch configuration
file. When run, a Skyline Batch configuration downloads all necessary
remote files and then runs a four-step Skyline workflow. By condensing
the steps needed to reprocess the data into one file, Skyline Batch
gives researchers the opportunity to publish their processing along
with their data and other analysis files. These easily run configuration
files will greatly increase the transparency and reproducibility of
published work. Skyline Batch is freely available at https://skyline.ms/batch.url.

Abstract
Citrullination, the Ca2+-driven enzymatic conversion of arginine residues to citrulline, is a posttranslational modification, implicated in several physiological and pathological processes. Several methods to detect citrullinated proteins have been developed, including color development reagent, fluorescence, phenylglyoxal, and antibody-based methods. These methods yet suffer from limitations in sensitivity, specificity, or citrullinated site determination. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis has emerged as a promising method to resolve these problems. However, due to low abundance of citrullinated proteins and similar MS features to deamidation of asparagine and glutamine, confident identification of citrullinated proteome is challenging. Here, we present a systematic approach to identify a compendium of steps to enhance the number of detected citrullinated residue and implement diagnostic MS feature that allow the confidence of MS-based identifications. Our method is based on the concept of generation of hyper-citrullinated library with high-pH reversed-phase peptide fractionation that allows to enrich in low abundance citrullinated peptides and amplify the effect of charge loss upon citrullination. Application of our approach to complex global citrullino-proteome datasets demonstrates the confident assessment of citrullinated peptides, thereby enhancing the size and functional interpretation of citrullinated proteomes.

Abstract
Precision medicine promises to overcome the constraints of the traditional “one-for-all” healthcare approach through a clear understanding of the molecular features of a disease, allowing for innovative and tailored treatments. State-of-the-art proteomics has the potential to accurately explore the human proteome to identify, quantify, and characterize proteins associated with disease progression. There is a pressing need for informative biomarkers to diagnose liver disease early in its course to prevent severe disease for which no efficient treatment is yet available. Here, we propose the concept of a cellular pathway as a functional biomarker, whose monitorization may inform normal and pathological status. We have developed a standardized targeted selected-reaction monitoring assay to detect and quantify 13 enzymes of one-carbon metabolism (1CM). The assay is compliant with Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) guidelines and has been included in the protein quantification assays that can be accessed through the assay portal at the CPTAC web page. To test the feasibility of the assay, we conducted a retrospective, proof-of-concept study on a collection of liver samples from healthy controls and from patients with cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our results indicate a significant reconfiguration of 1CM upon HCC development resulting from a process that can already be identified in cirrhosis. Our findings indicate that the systematic and integrated quantification of 1CM enzymes is a promising cell function-based biomarker for patient stratification, although further experiments with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Metabolic programming is intricately linked to the anti-tumor properties of T cells. To study the metabolic pathways associated with increased anti-tumor T cell function, we utilized a metabolomics approach to characterize three different CD8+ T cell subsets with varying degrees of anti-tumor activity in murine models, of which IL-22-producing Tc22 cells displayed the most robust anti-tumor activity. Tc22s demonstrated upregulation of the pantothenate/coenzyme A (CoA) pathway and a requirement for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for differentiation. Exogenous administration of CoA reprogrammed T cells to increase OXPHOS and adopt the CD8+ Tc22 phenotype independent of polarizing conditions via the transcription factors HIF-1α and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In murine tumor models, treatment of mice with the CoA precursor pantothenate enhanced the efficacy of anti-PDL1 antibody therapy. In patients with melanoma, pre-treatment plasma pantothenic acid levels were positively correlated with the response to anti-PD1 therapy. Collectively, our data demonstrate that pantothenate and its metabolite CoA drive T cell polarization, bioenergetics, and anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
Truffles of the Tuber species are known as expensive foods, mainly for their distinct aroma and taste. This high price makes them a profitable target of food fraud, e.g., the misdeclaration of cheaper truffle species as expensive ones. While many studies investigated truffles on the metabolomic level or the volatile organic compounds extruded by them, research at the proteome level as a phenotype determining basis is limited. In this study, a bottom-up proteomic approach based on LC-MS/MS measurements in data-independent acquisition mode was performed to analyze the truffle species Tuber aestivum, Tuber albidum pico, Tuber indicum, Tuber magnatum, and Tuber melanosporum, and a protein atlas of the investigated species was obtained. The yielded proteomic fingerprints are unique for each of the of the five truffle species and can now be used in case of suspected food fraud. First, a comprehensive spectral library containing 9000 proteins and 50,000 peptides was generated by two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS). Then, samples of the truffle species were analyzed in data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics mode yielding 2715 quantified proteins present in all truffle samples. Individual species were clearly distinguishable by principal component analysis (PCA). Quantitative proteome fingerprints were generated from 2066 ANOVA significant proteins, and side-by-side comparisons of truffles were done by T-tests. A further aim of this study was the annotation of functions for the identified proteins. For Tuber magnatum and Tuber melanosporum conclusive links to their superior aroma were found by enrichment of proteins responsible for sulfur-metabolic processes in comparison with other truffles. The obtained data in this study may serve as a reference library for food analysis laboratories in the future to tackle food fraud by misdeclaration of truffles. Further identified proteins with their corresponding abundance values in the different truffle species may serve as potential protein markers in the establishment of targeted analysis methods. Lastly, the obtained data may serve in the future as a basis for deciphering the biochemistry of truffles more deeply as well, when protein databases of the different truffle species will be more complete.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tryptic peptide profiles as potential diagnostic biomarkers for the discrimination of parkinsonian disorders. CSF samples were collected from individuals with parkinsonism, who had an uncertain diagnosis at the time of inclusion and who were followed for up to 12 years in a longitudinal study. We performed shotgun proteomics to identify tryptic peptides in CSF of Parkinson's disease (PD, n = 10), multiple system atrophy patients (MSA, n = 5) and non-neurological controls (n = 10). We validated tryptic peptides with differential levels between PD and MSA using a newly developed selected reaction monitoring (SRM) assay in CSF of PD (n = 46), atypical parkinsonism patients (AP; MSA, n = 17; Progressive supranuclear palsy; n = 8) and non-neurological controls (n = 39). We identified 191 tryptic peptides that differed significantly between PD and MSA, of which 34 met our criteria for SRM development. For 14/34 peptides we confirmed differences between PD and AP. These tryptic peptides discriminated PD from AP with moderate-to-high accuracy. Random forest modelling including tryptic peptides plus either clinical assessments or other CSF parameters (neurofilament light chain, phosphorylated tau protein) and age improved the discrimination of PD vs. AP. Our results show that the discovery of tryptic peptides by untargeted and subsequent validation by targeted proteomics is a suitable strategy to identify potential CSF biomarkers for PD versus AP. Furthermore, the tryptic peptides, and corresponding proteins, that we identified as differential biomarkers may increase our current knowledge about the disease-specific pathophysiological mechanisms of parkinsonism.

Multiple Myeloma Minimal Residual Disease Detection: Targeted Mass Spectrometry in Blood vs Next-Generation Sequencing in Bone Marrow. Clin Chem 2021; 67:1689-1698. [PMID: 34643690 DOI: 10.1093/clinchem/hvab187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimal residual disease (MRD) status assessed on bone marrow aspirates is a major prognostic biomarker in multiple myeloma (MM). In this study we evaluated blood-based targeted mass spectrometry (MS-MRD) as a sensitive, minimally invasive alternative to measure MM disease activity. METHODS Therapy response of 41 MM patients in the IFM-2009 clinical trial (NCT01191060) was assessed with MS-MRD on frozen sera and compared to routine state-of-the-art monoclonal protein (M-protein) diagnostics and next-generation sequencing (NGS-MRD) at 2 time points. RESULTS In all 41 patients we were able to identify clonotypic M-protein-specific peptides and perform serum-based MS-MRD measurements. MS-MRD is significantly more sensitive to detect M-protein compared to either electrophoretic M-protein diagnostics or serum free light chain analysis. The concordance between NGS-MRD and MS-MRD status in 81 paired bone marrow/sera samples was 79%. The 50% progression-free survival (PFS) was identical (49 months) for patients who were either NGS-positive or MS-positive directly after maintenance treatment. The 50% PFS was 69 and 89 months for NGS-negative and MS-negative patients, respectively. The longest 50% PFS (96 months) was observed in patients who were MRD-negative for both methods. MS-MRD relapse during maintenance treatment was significantly correlated to poor PFS (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate proof-of-principle that MS-MRD evaluation in blood is a feasible, patient friendly alternative to NGS-MRD assessed on bone marrow. Clinical validation of the prognostic value of MS-MRD and its complementary value in MRD-evaluation of patients with MM is warranted in an independent larger cohort.

Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative analyses of cell protein composition using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry are now standard techniques in biological and clinical research. However, the quantitative analysis of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) in cells is also important since these interactions are the bases of many processes, such as the cell cycle and signaling pathways. This paper describes the application of Skyline software for the identification and quantification of the biotinylated form of the biotin acceptor peptide (BAP) tag, which is a marker of in vivo PPIs. The tag was used in the Proximity Utilizing Biotinylation (PUB) method, which is based on the co-expression of BAP-X and BirA-Y in mammalian cells, where X or Y are interacting proteins of interest. A high level of biotinylation was detected in the model experiments where X and Y were pluripotency transcription factors Sox2 and Oct4, or heterochromatin protein HP1γ. MRM data processed by Skyline were normalized and recalculated. Ratios of biotinylation levels in experiment versus controls were 86 ± 6 (3 h biotinylation time) and 71 ± 5 (9 h biotinylation time) for BAP-Sox2 + BirA-Oct4 and 32 ± 3 (4 h biotinylation time) for BAP-HP1γ + BirA-HP1γ experiments. Skyline can also be applied for the analysis and identification of PPIs from shotgun proteomics data downloaded from publicly available datasets and repositories.

Abstract
PURPOSE The insulin receptor (INSR) mediates insulin signaling to modulate cellular functions. Although INSR is expressed at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), its role in the modulation of BBB function is poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of INSR knockdown on the expression levels of functional proteins at the BBB. METHODS We established the INSR-knockdown cell line (shINSR) using human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3). The cellular proteome was analyzed using quantitative proteomics. RESULTS INSR mRNA and protein expressions were decreased in shINSR cells. The suppression of INSR-mediated signaling in shINSR cells was evaluated. The proteins involved in glycolysis and glycogenolysis were suppressed in shINSR cells. As amyloid-β peptide-related proteins, the expressions of presenilin-1 was increased, and those of the insulin-degrading enzyme and neprilysin were decreased. The expressions of BBB transporters, including the ABCB1/MDR1, ABCG2/BCRP, and SLCO2A1/OATP2A1 were significantly decreased by more than 50% in shINSR cells. The efflux activity of ABCB1/MDR1 was also suppressed. The expressions of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 were significantly increased, and those of the transferrin receptor were significantly decreased in shINSR cells. The expression of claudin-5 was also suppressed in shINSR cells. CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that INSR-mediated signaling is involved in the regulation of functional protein expression at the BBB and contributes to the maintenance of BBB function. Changes in the expressions of amyloid-β peptide-related proteins may contribute to the development of cerebral amyloid angiopathy via the suppression of INSR-mediated signaling.

Abstract
Oxidation and reduction of protein cysteinyl thiols serve as molecular switches, which is considered the most central mechanism for redox regulation of biological processes, altering protein structure, biochemical activity, subcellular localization, and binding affinity. Redox proteomics allows global identification of redox-modified cysteine (Cys) sites and quantification of their reversible oxidation/reduction responses, serving as a hypothesis-generating platform to stimulate redox biology mechanistic research. Here, we developed Simultaneous Protein Expression and Redox (SPEAR) analysis, a new redox-proteomics approach based on differential labeling of reversibly oxidized and reduced cysteines with light and heavy isotopic forms of commercially available isotopically-labeled N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The presented method does not require enrichment for labeled peptides, thus enabling simultaneous quantification of Cys reversible oxidation state and protein abundance. Using SPEAR, we were able to quantify the in-vivo reversible oxidation state of thousands of cysteines across the Arabidopsis proteome under steady-state and oxidative stress conditions. Functional assignment of the identified redox-sensitive proteins demonstrated the widespread effect of oxidative conditions on various cellular functions and highlighted the enrichment of chloroplastic proteins. SPEAR provides a simple, straightforward, and cost-effective means of studying redox proteome dynamics. The presented data provide a global quantitative view of the reversible oxidation of well-known redox-regulated active sites and many novel redox-sensitive sites whose role in plant acclimation to stress conditions remains to be further explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Honey bee gut microbiota transmitted via social interactions are beneficial to the host health. Although the microbial community is relatively stable, individual variations and high strain-level diversity have been detected across honey bees. Although the bee gut microbiota structure is influenced by environmental factors, the heritability of the gut members and the contribution of the host genetics remains elusive. Considering bees within a colony are not readily genetically identical due to the polyandry of the queen, we hypothesize that the microbiota structure can be shaped by host genetics. RESULTS We used shotgun metagenomics to simultaneously profile the microbiota and host genotypes of bees from hives of four different subspecies. Gut composition is more distant between genetically different bees at both phylotype- and "sequence-discrete population" levels. We then performed a successive passaging experiment within colonies of hybrid bees generated by artificial insemination, which revealed that the microbial composition dramatically shifts across batches of bees during the social transmission. Specifically, different strains from the phylotype of Snodgrassella alvi are preferentially selected by genetically varied hosts, and strains from different hosts show a remarkably biased distribution of single-nucleotide polymorphism in the Type IV pili loci. Genome-wide association analysis identified that the relative abundance of a cluster of Bifidobacterium strains is associated with the host glutamate receptor gene specifically expressed in the bee brain. Finally, mono-colonization of Bifidobacterium with a specific polysaccharide utilization locus impacts the alternative splicing of the gluR-B gene, which is associated with an increased GABA level in the brain. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that host genetics influence the bee gut composition and suggest a gut-brain connection implicated in the gut bacterial strain preference. Honey bees have been used extensively as a model organism for social behaviors, genetics, and the gut microbiome. Further identification of host genetic function as a shaping force of microbial structure will advance our understanding of the host-microbe interactions. Video abstract.

Abstract
Immunotherapies are revolutionizing cancer care, producing durable responses and potentially cures in a subset of patients. However, response rates are low for most tumors, grade 3/4 toxicities are not uncommon, and our current understanding of tumor immunobiology is incomplete. While hundreds of immunomodulatory proteins in the tumor microenvironment shape the anti-tumor response, few of them can be reliably quantified. To address this need, we developed a multiplex panel of targeted proteomic assays targeting 52 peptides representing 46 proteins using peptide immunoaffinity enrichment coupled to multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry. We validated the assays in tissue and plasma matrices, where performance figures of merit showed over 3 orders of dynamic range and median inter-day CVs of 5.2% (tissue) and 21% (plasma). A feasibility study in clinical biospecimens showed detection of 48/52 peptides in frozen tissue and 38/52 peptides in plasma. The assays are publicly available as a resource for the research community.

Abstract
Macrophage colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (MCSF1R), osteopontin (OPN), high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), keratin 18 (K18), and caspase-cleaved keratin 18 (ccK18) are considered promising mechanistic biomarkers for the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury. Here, we aim to elucidate the impact of the sample matrix and handling on the quantification of these emerging protein biomarkers. We investigated effects such as time from collection to centrifugation during serum (± gel) or EDTA plasma preparation on two assay platforms: immunoaffinity liquid chromatography mass spectrometric assays and sandwich immunoassays. Furthermore, we measured GLDH activity with an enzymatic activity assay. Matrix effects were observed particularly for HMGB1 and MCSF1R. HMGB1 levels were higher in serum than in plasma, whereas higher concentrations of MCSF1R were observed in plasma than in serum. A comparison of sample collection to centrifugation time ranging from 15 to 60 min demonstrated increasing levels of HMGB1 in serum, while MCSF1R, OPN, GLDH, and ccK18 concentrations remained stable. Additionally, there was a poor correlation in HMGB1 and ccK18 levels between serum and plasma. Considering the observed matrix effects, we recommend plasma as a matrix of choice and cross-study comparison studies to be limited to those using the same matrix.

Abstract
RATIONALE Inflammation is a cascade of events mediated by a cytokine network triggering the cellular response. In order to monitor the modulation of the crucial inflammatory proteins, e.g., Tumour Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), Interferon-γ (INF-γ), Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10), upon stimulation with endotoxins, differentiated and undifferentiated THP-1 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from E. coli, key cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria. METHODS The multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) method was optimized by using the standard proteins to be quantified, in order to construct external calibration curves and define the analytical parameters. The developed method was used to quantify the above-mentioned inflammatory proteins in THP-1 differentiated cells upon stimulation with LPSs with high accuracy, sensitivity, and robustness. RESULTS The analysis of such proteins in MRM mode allowed the kinetics of stimulation along the time up to 24 h to be followed and the MS results were found to be comparable with those obtained by Western-blotting. A significant increase in TNF-α release triggered a cascade mechanism leading to the production of INF-γ and IL-8. IL-10, instead, was found to be constant throughout the process. CONCLUSIONS The developed MRM-MS method allowed the quantification of TNF-α, INF-γ, IL-8 and IL-10 along a time-course from 2 to 24 h. Hence, a trace of the kinetics of the inflammatory response in THP-1 cells upon stimulation with E. coli LPSs was obtained. Finally, the extensibility of the developed MRM method to serum samples and other matrices demonstrated the versatility of the approach and the possibility to quantify multiple target proteins in different biological samples by using a few microliters in a single analysis.

The 20S as a stand-alone proteasome in cells can degrade the ubiquitin tag. Nat Commun 2021; 12:6173.

Abstract
The proteasome, the primary protease for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in eukaryotes, is usually found as a mixture of 30S, 26S, and 20S complexes. These complexes have common catalytic sites, which makes it challenging to determine their distinctive roles in intracellular proteolysis. Here, we chemically synthesize a panel of homogenous ubiquitinated proteins, and use them to compare 20S and 26S proteasomes with respect to substrate selection and peptide-product generation. We show that 20S proteasomes can degrade the ubiquitin tag along with the conjugated substrate. Ubiquitin remnants on branched peptide products identified by LC-MS/MS, and flexibility in the 20S gate observed by cryo-EM, reflect the ability of the 20S proteasome to proteolyze an isopeptide-linked ubiquitin-conjugate. Peptidomics identifies proteasome-trapped ubiquitin-derived peptides and peptides of potential 20S substrates in Hi20S cells, hypoxic cells, and human failing-heart. Moreover, elevated levels of 20S proteasomes appear to contribute to cell survival under stress associated with damaged proteins.
