Sci Rep 2019; 9:5102. [PMID: 30911017 PMCID: PMC6433865 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41060-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Accepted: 01/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Some molecular chaperones are involved not only in assisting the folding of proteins but also, given appropriate conditions, in their degradation. This is the case for Hsp70 and Hsp90 which, in concert with the cochaperone CHIP, direct their bound substrate to degradation through ubiquitination. We generated complexes between the chaperones (Hsp70 or Hsp90), the cochaperone CHIP and, as substrate, a p53 variant containing the GST protein (p53-TMGST). Both ternary complexes (Hsp70:p53-TMGST:CHIP and Hsp90:p53-TMGST:CHIP) ubiquitinated the substrate at a higher efficiency than in the absence of the chaperones. The 3D structures of the two complexes, obtained using a combination of cryoelectron microscopy and crosslinking mass spectrometry, showed the substrate located between the chaperone and the cochaperone, suggesting a ubiquitination mechanism in which the chaperone-bound substrate is presented to CHIP. These complexes are inherently flexible, which is important for the ubiquitination process.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) is becoming a routinely and widely used technique for depicting and constructing protein structures and protein interaction networks. One major challenge for cross-linking/MS is the determination of informative low-abundant inter-cross-linked products, generated within a sample of high complexity. A C18 stationary phase is the conventional means for reversed-phase (RP) separation of inter-cross-linked peptides. Various RP stationary phases, which provide different selectivities and retentions, have been developed as alternatives to C18 stationary phases. In this study, two phenyl-based columns, biphenyl and fluorophenyl, were investigated and compared with a C18 phase for separating BS3 (bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate) cross-linked bovine serum albumin (BSA) and myoglobin by bottom-up proteomics. Fractions from the three columns were collected and analyzed in a linear ion trap (LIT) mass spectrometer for improving detection of low abundant inter-cross-linked peptides. Among these three columns, the fluorophenyl column provides additional ion-exchange interaction and exhibits unique retention in separating the cross-linked peptides. The fractioned data was analyzed in pLink, showing the fluorophenyl column consistently obtained more inter-cross-linked peptide identifications than both C18 and biphenyl columns. For the BSA cross-linked sample, the identified inter-cross-linked peptide numbers of the fluorophenyl to C18 column are 136 to 102 in "low confident" results and 11 to 6 in "high confident" results. The fluorophenyl column could potentially be a better alternative for targeting the low stoichiometric inter-cross-linked peptides.

Abstract
Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS) has recently been introduced as an analytical strategy to create peptide radical ions in a predictable and effective way by collisional activation of specifically modified peptides ions. FRIPS is based on the unimolecular dissociation of open-shell ions and yields fragments that resemble those obtained by electron capture dissociation (ECD) or electron transfer dissociation (ETD). In this review article, we describe the fundamentals of FRIPS and highlight its fruitful combination with chemical cross-linking/mass spectrometry (MS) as a highly promising option to derive complementary structural information of peptides and proteins. FRIPS does not only yield exhaustive sequence information of cross-linked peptides, but also defines the exact cross-linking sites of the connected peptides. The development of more advanced FRIPS cross-linkers that extend the FRIPS-based cross-linking/MS approach to the study of large protein assemblies and protein interaction networks can be eagerly anticipated.

Abstract
Cytotoxic protein aggregation-induced impairment of cell function and homeostasis are hallmarks of age-related neurodegenerative pathologies. As proteasomal degradation represents the major clearance pathway for oxidatively damaged proteins, a detailed understanding of the molecular events underlying its stress response is critical for developing strategies to maintain cell viability and function. Although the 26S proteasome has been shown to disassemble during oxidative stress, its conformational dynamics remains unclear. To this end, we have developed a new quantitative cross-linking mass spectrometry (QXL-MS) workflow to explore the structural dynamics of proteasome complexes in response to oxidative stress. This strategy comprises SILAC-based metabolic labeling, HB tag-based affinity purification, a 2-step cross-linking reaction consisting of mild in vivo formaldehyde and on-bead DSSO cross-linking, and multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MSn) to identify and quantify cross-links. This integrated workflow has been successfully applied to explore the molecular events underlying oxidative stress-dependent proteasomal regulation by comparative analyses of proteasome complex topologies from treated and untreated cells. Our results show that H2O2 treatment weakens the 19S-20S interaction within the 26S proteasome, along with reorganizations within the 19S and 20S subcomplexes. Altogether, this work sheds light on the mechanistic response of the 26S to acute oxidative stress, suggesting an intermediate proteasomal state(s) before H2O2-mediated dissociation of the 26S. The QXL-MS strategy presented here can be applied to study conformational changes of other protein complexes under different physiological conditions.

Abstract
Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful technology used to investigate the spatial distributions of thousands of molecules throughout a tissue section from a single experiment. As proteins represent an important group of functional molecules in tissue and cells, the imaging of proteins has been an important point of focus in the development of IMS technologies and methods. Protein identification is crucial for the biological contextualization of molecular imaging data. However, gas-phase fragmentation efficiency of MALDI generated proteins presents significant challenges, making protein identification directly from tissue difficult. This review highlights methods and technologies specifically related to protein identification that have been developed to overcome these challenges in MALDI IMS experiments.

Abstract
Protein interactions enable much more complex behavior than the sum of the individual protein parts would suggest and represents a level of biological complexity requiring full understanding when unravelling cellular processes. Cross-linking mass spectrometry has emerged as an attractive approach to study these interactions, and recent advances in mass spectrometry and data analysis software have enabled the identification of thousands of cross-links from a single experiment. The resulting data complexity is, however, difficult to understand and requires interactive software tools. Even though solutions are available, these represent an agglomerate of possibilities, and each features its own input format, often forcing manual conversion. Here we present Cross-ID, a visualization platform that links directly into the output of XlinkX for Proteome Discoverer but also plays well with other platforms by supporting a user-controllable text-file importer. The platform includes features like grouping, spectral viewer, gene ontology (GO) enrichment, post-translational modification (PTM) visualization, domains and secondary structure mapping, data set comparison, previsualization overlap check, and more. Validation of detected cross-links is available for proteins and complexes with known structure or for protein complexes through the DisVis online platform ( http://milou.science.uu.nl/cgi/services/DISVIS/disvis/ ). Graphs are exportable in PDF format, and data sets can be exported in tab-separated text files for evaluation through other software.

Abstract
The understanding of complex biological systems is still hampered by limited knowledge of biologically relevant quaternary protein structures. Here, we demonstrate quaternary structure determination in biological samples using a combination of chemical cross-linking, high-resolution mass spectrometry and high-accuracy protein structure modeling. This approach, termed targeted cross-linking mass spectrometry (TX-MS), relies on computational structural models to score sets of targeted cross-linked peptide signals acquired using a combination of mass spectrometry acquisition techniques. We demonstrate the utility of TX-MS by creating a high-resolution quaternary model of a 1.8 MDa protein complex composed of a pathogen surface protein and ten human plasma proteins. The model is based on a dense network of cross-link distance constraints obtained directly in a mixture of human plasma and live bacteria. These results demonstrate that TX-MS can increase the applicability of flexible backbone docking algorithms to large protein complexes by providing rich cross-link distance information from complex biological samples. Protein structure determination in complex biological samples is still challenging. Here, the authors develop a computational modeling-guided cross-linking mass spectrometry method, obtaining a high-resolution model of a 1.8 MDa protein assembly from cross-links detected in a mixture of human plasma and bacteria.

Abstract
Cleavable cross-linkers are gaining increasing importance for chemical cross-linking/mass spectrometry (MS) as they permit a reliable and automated data analysis in structural studies of proteins and protein assemblies. Here, we introduce 1,3-diallylurea (DAU) as the first CID-MS/MS-cleavable, photo-thiol-reactive cross-linker. DAU is a commercially available, inexpensive reagent that efficiently undergoes an anti-Markovnikov hydrothiolation with cysteine residues in the presence of a radical initiator upon UV-A irradiation. Radical cysteine cross-linking proceeds via an orthogonal "click reaction" and yields stable alkyl sulfide products. DAU reacts at physiological pH and cross-linking reactions with peptides, and proteins can be performed at temperatures as low as 4 °C. The central urea bond is efficiently cleaved upon collisional activation during tandem MS experiments generating characteristic product ions. This improves the reliability of automated cross-link identification. Different radical initiators have been screened for the cross-linking reaction of DAU using the thiol-containing compounds cysteine and glutathione. Our concept has also been exemplified for the biologically relevant proteins bMunc13-2 and retinal guanylyl cyclase-activating protein-2. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Systems vaccinology has proven a fascinating development in the last decade. Where traditionally vaccine development has been dominated by trial and error, systems vaccinology is a tool that provides novel and comprehensive understanding if properly used. Data sets retrieved from systems‐based studies endorse rational design and effective development of safe and efficacious vaccines. In this review we first describe different omics‐techniques that form the pillars of systems vaccinology. In the second part, the application of systems vaccinology in the different stages of vaccine development is described. Overall, this review shows that systems vaccinology has become an important tool anywhere in the vaccine development chain.

Abstract
Mitochondria are highly dynamic and regulated organelles that historically have been defined based on their crucial role in cell metabolism. However, they are implicated in a variety of other important functions, making mitochondrial dysfunction an important axis in several pathological contexts. Despite that conventional biochemical and molecular biology approaches have provided significant insight into mitochondrial functionality, innovative techniques that provide a global view of the mitochondrion are still necessary. Proteomics fulfils this need by enabling accurate, systems-wide quantitative analysis of protein abundance. More importantly, redox proteomics approaches offer unique opportunities to tackle oxidative stress, a phenomenon that is intimately linked to aging, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. In addition, cutting-edge proteomics approaches reveal how proteins exert their functions in complex interaction networks where even subtle alterations stemming from early pathological states can be monitored. Here, we describe the proteomics approaches that will help to deepen the role of mitochondria in health and disease by assessing not only changes to mitochondrial protein composition but also alterations to their redox state and how protein interaction networks regulate mitochondrial function and dynamics. This review is aimed at showing the reader how the application of proteomics approaches during the last 20 years has revealed crucial mitochondrial roles in the context of aging, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disease, and cancer.

Abstract
Cross-linking/mass spectrometry has undergone a maturation process akin to standard proteomics by adapting key methods such as false discovery rate control and quantification. A poorly evaluated search setting in proteomics is the consideration of multiple (lighter) alternative values for the monoisotopic precursor mass to compensate for possible misassignments of the monoisotopic peak. Here, we show that monoisotopic peak assignment is a major weakness of current data handling approaches in cross-linking. Cross-linked peptides often have high precursor masses, which reduces the presence of the monoisotopic peak in the isotope envelope. Paired with generally low peak intensity, this generates a challenge that may not be completely solvable by precursor mass assignment routines. We therefore took an alternative route by '"in-search assignment of the monoisotopic peak" in the cross-link database search tool Xi (Xi-MPA), which considers multiple precursor masses during database search. We compare and evaluate the performance of established preprocessing workflows that partly correct the monoisotopic peak and Xi-MPA on three publicly available data sets. Xi-MPA always delivered the highest number of identifications with ∼2 to 4-fold increase of PSMs without compromising identification accuracy as determined by FDR estimation and comparison to crystallographic models.

Abstract
Over the past decade, cross-linking mass spectrometry (CLMS) has developed into a robust and flexible tool that provides medium-resolution structural information. CLMS data provide a measure of the proximity of amino acid residues and thus offer information on the folds of proteins and the topology of their complexes. Here, we highlight notable successes of this technique as well as common pipelines. Novel CLMS applications, such as in-cell cross-linking, probing conformational changes and tertiary-structure determination, are now beginning to make contributions to molecular biology and the emerging fields of structural systems biology and interactomics.

Abstract
Investigating protein-protein interactions and protein phosphorylation can be of great significance when studying biological processes and human diseases at the molecular level. However, sample complexity, presence of low abundance proteins, and dynamic nature of the proteins often impede in achieving sufficient analytical depth in proteomics research. In this regard, chromatographic separation methodologies have played a vital role in the identification and quantification of proteins in complex sample mixtures. The combination of peptide and protein fractionation techniques with advanced high-performance mass spectrometry has allowed the researchers to successfully study the protein-protein interactions and protein phosphorylation. Several new fractionation strategies for large scale analysis of proteins and peptides have been developed to study protein-protein interactions and protein phosphorylation. These emerging chromatography methodologies have enabled the identification of several hundred protein complexes and even thousands of phosphorylation sites in a single study. In this review, we focus on current workflow strategies and chromatographic tools, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, and examining their associated challenges and future potential.

Abstract
The cellular levels and activities of ribosomes directly regulate gene expression during numerous physiological processes. The mechanisms that globally repress translation are incompletely understood. Here, we use electron cryomicroscopy to analyze inactive ribosomes isolated from mammalian reticulocytes, the penultimate stage of red blood cell differentiation. We identify two types of ribosomes that are translationally repressed by protein interactions. The first comprises ribosomes sequestered with elongation factor 2 (eEF2) by SERPINE mRNA binding protein 1 (SERBP1) occupying the ribosomal mRNA entrance channel. The second type are translationally repressed by a novel ribosome-binding protein, interferon-related developmental regulator 2 (IFRD2), which spans the P and E sites and inserts a C-terminal helix into the mRNA exit channel to preclude translation. IFRD2 binds ribosomes with a tRNA occupying a noncanonical binding site, the ‘Z site’, on the ribosome. These structures provide functional insights into how ribosomal interactions may suppress translation to regulate gene expression.

Abstract
The dynamics of protein structures and their interactions are responsible for many cellular processes. The rearrangements and interactions of proteins, which are often transient, occur in solution and may require a biological environment that is difficult to maintain in traditional structural biological approaches. Quantitative crosslinking/mass spectrometry (QCLMS) has emerged as an excellent method to fill this gap. Numerous recent applications of the technique have demonstrated that protein dynamics can now be studied in solution at sufficient resolution to gain valuable biological insights, suggesting that extending these investigations to native environments is possible. These breakthroughs have been based on the maturation of CLMS at large, and its recent fusion with quantitative proteomics. We provide here an overview of the current state of the technique, the available workflows and their applications, and remaining challenges. In-solution dynamics of protein structures and their interactions can be studied by QCLMS. Successful applications of QCLMS provide insights into multiple different biological processes. Recent advances in QCLMS allow analyses in the context of native cellular environments, including living cells. Alternative workflows allow researchers to tailor the analysis to their biological question. Progress in data processing now offers this technique to researchers with limited initial expertise in crosslinking and quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that heterogeneity in ribosome composition can give rise to specialized functions. Until now, research mainly focused on differences in core ribosomal proteins and associated factors. The effect of posttranslational modifications has not been studied systematically. Analyzing ribosome heterogeneity is challenging because individual proteins can be part of different subcomplexes (40S, 60S, 80S, and polysomes). Here we develop polysome proteome profiling to obtain unbiased proteomic maps across ribosomal subcomplexes. Our method combines extensive fractionation by sucrose gradient centrifugation with quantitative mass spectrometry. The high resolution of the profiles allows us to assign proteins to specific subcomplexes. Phosphoproteomics on the fractions reveals that phosphorylation of serine 38 in RPL12/uL11, a known mitotic CDK1 substrate, is strongly depleted in polysomes. Follow-up experiments confirm that RPL12/uL11 phosphorylation regulates the translation of specific subsets of mRNAs during mitosis. Together, our results show that posttranslational modification of ribosomal proteins can regulate translation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular H2O2, regulate intracellular signaling through reversible oxidation of reactive protein thiols present in a number of kinases and phosphatases. H2O2 has been shown to regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling depending on the cellular context. We report here that in human articular chondrocytes, the MAPK family member c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) is activated by fibronectin fragments and low physiological levels of H2O2 and inhibited by oxidation due to elevated levels of H2O2 The kinase activity of affinity-purified, phosphorylated JNK2 from cultured chondrocytes was reversibly inhibited by 5-20 μm H2O2 Using dimedone-based chemical probes that react specifically with sulfenylated cysteines (RSOH), we identified Cys-222 in JNK2, a residue not conserved in JNK1 or JNK3, as a redox-reactive site. MS analysis of human recombinant JNK2 also detected further oxidation at Cys-222 and other cysteines to sulfinic (RSO2H) or sulfonic (RSO3H) acid. H2O2 treatment of JNK2 resulted in detectable levels of peptides containing intramolecular disulfides between Cys-222 and either Cys-213 or Cys-177, without evidence of dimer formation. Substitution of Cys-222 to alanine rendered JNK2 insensitive to H2O2 inhibition, unlike C177A and C213A variants. Two other JNK2 variants, C116A and C163A, were also resistant to oxidative inhibition. Cumulatively, these findings indicate differential regulation of JNK2 signaling dependent on H2O2 levels and point to key cysteine residues regulating JNK2 activity. As levels of intracellular H2O2 rise, a switch occurs from activation to inhibition of JNK2 activity, linking JNK2 regulation to the redox status of the cell.

Abstract
Biological processes supporting life are orchestrated by a highly dynamic array of protein structures and interactions comprising the interactome. Defining the interactome, visualizing how structures and interactions change and function to support life is essential to improved understanding of fundamental molecular processes, but represents a challenge unmet by any single analytical technique. Chemical cross-linking with mass spectrometry provides identification of proximal amino acid residues within proteins and protein complexes, yielding low resolution structural information. This approach has predominantly been employed to provide structural insight on isolated protein complexes, and has been particularly useful for molecules that are recalcitrant to conventional structural biology studies. Here we discuss recent developments in cross-linking and mass spectrometry technologies that are providing large-scale or systems-level interactome data with successful applications to isolated organelles, cell lysates, virus particles, intact bacterial and mammalian cultured cells and tissue samples.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful approach to identify and map protein-protein interactions. Its applications support computational modeling of three-dimensional structures and complement classical structural methodologies such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy (EM). A plethora of cross-linkers, MS methods, and data analysis programs have been developed, but due to their methodological complexity application is currently reserved for specialized mass spectrometry laboratories. Here, we present a simplified single-step purification protocol that results in improved identifications of cross-linked peptides. We describe an easy-to-follow pipeline that combines the MS-cleavable cross-linker DSBU (disuccinimidyl dibutyric urea), a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer, and the dedicated software MeroX for data analysis to make cross-linking MS accessible to structural biology and biochemistry laboratories. In experiments focusing on kinetochore subcomplexes containing 4-10 subunits (so-called KMN network), one-step peptide purification, and enrichment by size-exclusion chromatography yielded identification of 135-228 non-redundant cross-links (577-820 cross-linked peptides) from each experiment. Notably, half of the non-redundant cross-links identified were not lysine-lysine cross-links and involved side chains with hydroxy groups. The new pipeline has a comparable potential toward the identification of protein-protein interactions as previously used pipelines based on isotope-labeled cross-linkers. A newly identified cross-link enabled us to improve our 3D-model of the KMN, emphasizing the power of cross-linking data for evaluation of low-resolution EM maps. In sum, our optimized experimental scheme represents a viable shortcut toward obtaining reliable cross-link data sets.

Abstract
This study investigated the enzyme-substrate interaction between Saccharomyces cerevisiae arginine methyltransferase Hmt1p and nucleolar protein Npl3p, using chemical cross linking/mass spectrometry (XL/MS). We show that XL/MS can capture transient interprotein interactions that occur during the process of methylation, involving a disordered region in Npl3p with tandem SRGG repeats, and we confirm that Hmt1p and Npl3p exist as homomultimers. Additionally, the study investigated the interdependencies between variables of an XL/MS experiment that lead to the identification of identical or different cross-linked peptides. We report that there are substantial benefits, in terms of biologically relevant cross-links identified, that result from the use of two mass-spectrometry-cleavable cross-linkers [disuccinimido sulfoxide (DSSO) and disuccinimido dibutyric urea (DSBU)], two fragmentation approaches [collision-induced dissociation and electron-transfer dissociation (CID+ETD)] and stepped high-energy collision dissociation (HCD)], and two programs (MeroX and XlinkX). We also show that there are specific combinations of XL/MS methods that are more successful than others for the two proteins investigated here; these are explored in detail in the text. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD008348.

Abstract
While transcription plays an obviously important role in gene expression, translation has recently been emerged as a key step that defines the composition and quality of the proteome in the cell of higher eukaryotes including mammals. Selective translation is supposed to be regulated by the structural heterogeneity of cytoplasmic ribosomes including differences in protein composition and chemical modifications. However, the current knowledge on the heterogeneity of mammalian ribosomes is limited. Here, we report mammalian Serbp1 as a ribosome-associated protein. The translated products of Serbp1 gene, including the longest isoform, were found to be localized in the nucleolus as well as in the cytoplasm. Subcellular fractionation indicated that most of cytoplasmic Serbp1 molecules were precipitated by ultracentrifugation. Proteomic analysis identified Serbp1 in the cytoplasmic ribosomes of the rodent testis. Polysome profiling suggested that Serbp1, as a component of the small 40S subunit, was included in translating ribosomes (polysomes). Cosedimentation of Serbp1 with the 40S subunit was observed after dissociation of the ribosomal subunits. Serbp1 was also included in the ribosomes of human cancer cells, which may lead to a mechanistic understanding of an emerging link between Serbp1 and tumour progression. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY In mammalian cells, the final protein output of their genetic program is determined not only by controlling transcription but also by regulating the posttranscriptional events. Although mRNA-binding proteins and the cytoplasmic ribosome have long been recognized as central players in the posttranscriptional regulation, their physical and functional interactions are still far from a complete understanding. Here, we describe the intracellular localization of Serbp1, an mRNA-binding protein, and the inclusion of this protein in actively translating ribosomes in normal and cancer cells. These findings shed a new light into molecular mechanisms underlying Serbp1 action in translational gene regulation and tumour progression.

Abstract
Cells organize their actions partly through tightly controlled protein-protein interactions-collectively termed the interactome. Here we use crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to chart the protein-protein interactions in intact human nuclei. Overall, we identified ∼8,700 crosslinks, of which 2/3 represent links connecting distinct proteins. From these data, we gain insights on interactions involving histone proteins. We observed that core histones on the nucleosomes expose well-defined interaction hot spots. For several nucleosome-interacting proteins, such as USF3 and Ran GTPase, the data allowed us to build low-resolution models of their binding mode to the nucleosome. For HMGN2, the data guided the construction of a refined model of the interaction with the nucleosome, based on complementary NMR, XL-MS, and modeling. Excitingly, the analysis of crosslinks carrying posttranslational modifications allowed us to extract how specific modifications influence nucleosome interactions. Overall, our data depository will support future structural and functional analysis of cell nuclei, including the nucleoprotein assemblies they harbor.

Abstract
For decades, biologists and biochemists have taken advantage of atomic resolution structural models of proteins from X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and more recently cryo-electron microscopy. However, not all proteins relent to structural analyses using these approaches, and as the depth of knowledge increases, additional data elucidating a mechanistic understanding of protein function is desired. Flavin-based electron bifurcating enzymes, which are responsible for producing high energy compounds through the simultaneous endergonic and exergonic reduction of two intercellular electron carriers (i.e., NAD+ and ferredoxin) are one class of proteins that have challenged structural biologists and in which there is great interest to understand the mechanism behind electron gating. A limited number of X-ray crystallography projects have been successful; however, it is clear that to understand how these enzymes function, techniques that can reveal detailed in solution information about protein structure, dynamics, and interactions involved in the bifurcating reaction are needed. In this review, we cover a general set of mass spectrometry-based techniques that, combined with protein modeling, are capable of providing information on both protein structure and dynamics. Techniques discussed include surface labeling, covalent cross-linking, native mass spectrometry, and hydrogen/deuterium exchange. We cover how biophysical data can be used to validate computationally generated protein models and develop mechanistic explanations for regulation and performance of enzymes and protein complexes. Our focus will be on flavin-based electron bifurcating enzymes, but the broad applicability of the techniques will be showcased.

Abstract
Biomolecular mass spectrometry has matured strongly over the past decades and has now reached a stage where it can provide deep insights into the structure and composition of large cellular assemblies. Here, we describe a three-tiered hybrid mass spectrometry approach that enables the dissection of macromolecular complexes in order to complement structural studies. To demonstrate the capabilities of the approach, we investigate ribosomes, large ribonucleoprotein particles consisting of a multitude of protein and RNA subunits. We identify sites of sequence processing, protein post-translational modifications, and the assembly and stoichiometry of individual ribosomal proteins in four distinct ribosomal particles of bacterial, plant and human origin. Amongst others, we report extensive cysteine methylation in the zinc finger domain of the human S27 protein, the heptameric stoichiometry of the chloroplastic stalk complex, the heterogeneous composition of human 40S ribosomal subunits and their association to the CrPV, and HCV internal ribosome entry site RNAs.

Abstract
Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has become an emerging technology for defining protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and elucidating architectures of large protein complexes. Up to now, the most widely used cross-linking reagents target lysines. Although such reagents have been successfully applied to map PPIs at the proteome-wide scale, comprehensive PPI profiling would require additional cross-linking chemistries. Cysteine is one of the most reactive amino acids and an attractive target for cross-linking owing to its unique role in protein structures. Although sulfhydryl-reactive cross-linkers are commercially available, their applications in XL-MS studies remain sparse, likely due to the difficulty in identifying cysteine cross-linked peptides. Previously, we developed a new class of sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable cross-linkers to enable fast and accurate identification of cross-linked peptides using multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MS n). Here, we present the development of a new sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable homobifunctional cysteine-reactive cross-linker, bismaleimide sulfoxide (BMSO). We demonstrate that BMSO-cross-linked peptides display the same characteristic fragmentation pattern during collision-induced dissociation (CID) as other sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable cross-linked peptides, thus permitting their simplified analysis and unambiguous identification by MS n. Additionally, we show that BMSO can complement amine- and acidic-residue-reactive reagents for mapping protein-interaction regions. Collectively, this work not only enlarges the toolbox of MS-cleavable cross-linkers with diverse chemistries, but more importantly expands our capacity and capability of studying PPIs in general.

Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of endogenous protein-protein interactions in complex networks is pivotal in deciphering disease mechanisms. To enable the in-depth analysis of protein interactions in chromatin-associated protein complexes, we have previously developed a method termed RIME (Rapid Immunoprecipitation Mass spectrometry of Endogenous proteins). Here, we present a quantitative multiplexed method (qPLEX-RIME), which integrates RIME with isobaric labelling and tribrid mass spectrometry for the study of protein interactome dynamics in a quantitative fashion with increased sensitivity. Using the qPLEX-RIME method, we delineate the temporal changes of the Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) interactome in breast cancer cells treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Furthermore, we identify endogenous ERα-associated proteins in human Patient-Derived Xenograft tumours and in primary human breast cancer clinical tissue. Our results demonstrate that the combination of RIME with isobaric labelling offers a powerful tool for the in-depth and quantitative characterisation of protein interactome dynamics, which is applicable to clinical samples.

Abstract
Protein chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry has become an important technique for the analysis of protein structure and protein-protein interactions. A variety of cross-linkers are well developed, but reliable, rapid, and user-friendly tools for large-scale analysis of cross-linked proteins are still in need. Here we report MetaMorpheusXL, a new search module within the MetaMorpheus software suite that identifies both MS-cleavable and noncleavable cross-linked peptides in MS data. MetaMorpheusXL identifies MS-cleavable cross-linked peptides with an ion-indexing algorithm, which enables an efficient large database search. The identification does not require the presence of signature fragment ions, an advantage compared with similar programs such as XlinkX. One complication associated with the need for signature ions from cleavable cross-linkers such as DSSO (disuccinimidyl sulfoxide) is the requirement for multiple fragmentation types and energy combinations, which is not necessary for MetaMorpheusXL. The ability to perform proteome-wide analysis is another advantage of MetaMorpheusXL compared with programs such as MeroX and DXMSMS. MetaMorpheusXL is also faster than other currently available MS-cleavable cross-link search software programs. It is imbedded in MetaMorpheus, an open-source and freely available software suite that provides a reliable, fast, user-friendly graphical user interface that is readily accessible to researchers.

Abstract
With the advent of new cross-linking chemistries, analytical technologies, and search algorithms, cross-linking has become an increasingly popular strategy for evaluating tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins. Collisional activated dissociation remains the primary MS/MS method for identifications of peptide cross-links in high throughput workflows. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 193 nm has emerged as an alternative ion activation method well-suited for characterization of peptides and has been found in some cases to identify different peptides or provide distinctive sequence information than obtained by collisional activation methods. Complementary high energy collision dissociation (HCD) and UVPD were used in the present study to characterize protein cross-linking for bovine serum albumin, hemoglobin, and E. coli ribosome. Cross-links identified by HCD and UVPD using bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3), a homobifunctional amine-to-amine cross-linker, and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMTMM), a heterofunctional amine-to-carboxylic acid cross-linker, were evaluated in the present study. While more unique BS3 cross-links were identified by HCD, UVPD, and HCD provided a complementary panel of DMTMM cross-links which extended the degree of structural insight obtained for the proteins.

Abstract
For decades, chemical cross-linking of proteins has been an established method to study protein interaction partners. The chemical cross-linking approach has recently been revived by mass spectrometric analysis of the cross-linking reaction products. Chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometric analysis (CXMS) enables the identification of residues that are close in three-dimensional (3D) space but not necessarily close in primary sequence. Therefore, this approach provides medium resolution information to guide de novo structure prediction, protein interface mapping and protein complex model building. The robustness and compatibility of the CXMS approach with multiple biochemical methods have made it especially appealing for challenging systems with multiple biochemical compositions and conformation states. This review provides an overview of the CXMS approach, describing general procedures in sample processing, data acquisition and analysis. Selection of proper chemical cross-linking reagents, strategies for cross-linked peptide identification, and successful application of CXMS in structural characterization of proteins and protein complexes are discussed.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry provides a method to study protein structures and interactions. The introduction of cleavable bonds in a cross-linker provides an avenue to decouple released peptide masses from their precursor species, greatly simplifying the downstream search, allowing for whole proteome investigations to be performed. Typically, these experiments have been challenging to carry out, often utilizing nonstandard methods to fully identify cross-linked peptides. Mango is an open source software tool that extracts precursor masses from chimeric spectra generated using cleavable cross-linkers, greatly simplifying the downstream search. As it is designed to work with chimeric spectra, Mango can be used on traditional high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) capable mass spectrometers without the need for additional modifications. When paired with a traditional proteomics search engine, Mango can be used to identify several thousand cross-linked peptide pairs searching against the entire Escherichia coli proteome. Mango provides an avenue to perform whole proteome cross-linking experiments without specialized instrumentation or access to nonstandard methods.

Bifunctional cross-linking approaches for mass spectrometry-based investigation of nucleic acids and protein-nucleic acid assemblies. Methods 2018; 144:64-78. [PMID: 29753003 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymeth.2018.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2018] [Revised: 04/30/2018] [Accepted: 05/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
With the goal of expanding the very limited toolkit of cross-linking agents available for nucleic acids and their protein complexes, we evaluated the merits of a wide range of bifunctional agents that may be capable of reacting with the functional groups characteristic of these types of biopolymers. The survey specifically focused on the ability of test reagents to produce desirable inter-molecular conjugates, which could reveal the identity of interacting components and the position of mutual contacts, while also considering a series of practical criteria for their utilization as viable nucleic acid probes. The survey employed models consisting of DNA, RNA, and corresponding protein complexes to mimic as close as possible typical applications. Denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and mass spectrometric (MS) analyses were implemented in concert to monitor the formation of the desired conjugates. In particular, the former was used as a rapid and inexpensive tool for the efficient evaluation of cross-linker activity under a broad range of experimental conditions. The latter was applied after preliminary rounds of reaction optimization to enable full-fledged product characterization and, more significantly, differentiation between mono-functional and intra- versus inter-molecular conjugates. This information provided the feedback necessary to further optimize reaction conditions and explain possible outcomes. Among the reagents tested in the study, platinum complexes and nitrogen mustards manifested the most favorable characteristics for practical cross-linking applications, whereas other compounds provided inferior yields, or produced rather unstable conjugates that did not survive the selected analytical conditions. The observed outcomes will help guide the selection of the most appropriate cross-linking reagent for a specific task, whereas the experimental conditions described here will provide an excellent starting point for approaching these types of applications. As a whole, the results of the survey clearly emphasize that finding a universal reagent, which may afford excellent performance with all types of nucleic acid substrates, will require extending the exploration beyond the traditional chemistries employed to modify the constitutive functional groups of these vital biopolymers.

Abstract
Cross-linking/Mass spectrometry (XLMS) is a consolidated technique for structural characterization of proteins and protein complexes. Despite its success, the cross-linking chemistry currently used is mostly based on N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters, which react primarily with lysine residues. One way to expand the current applicability of XLMS into several new areas is to increase the number of cross-links obtainable for a target protein. We introduce a multiplex chemistry (denoted XPlex) that targets Asp, Glu, Lys, and Ser residues. XPlex can generate significantly more cross-links with reactions occurring at lower temperatures and enables targeting proteins that are not possible with NHS ester-based cross-linkers. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in model proteins as well as a target Lys-poor protein, SalBIII. Identification of XPlex spectra requires a search engine capable of simultaneously considering multiple cross-linkers on the same run; to achieve this, we updated the SIM-XL search algorithm with a search mode tailored toward XPlex. In summary, we present a complete chemistry/computational solution for significantly increasing the number of possible distance constraints by mass spectrometry experiments, and thus, we are convinced that XPlex poses as a real complementary approach for structural proteomics studies.

Abstract
The canonical molecular machinery required for global mRNA translation and its control has been well defined, with distinct sets of proteins involved in the processes of translation initiation, elongation and termination. Additionally, noncanonical, trans-acting regulatory RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are necessary to provide mRNA-specific translation, and these interact with 5' and 3' untranslated regions and coding regions of mRNA to regulate ribosome recruitment and transit. Recently it has also been demonstrated that trans-acting ribosomal proteins direct the translation of specific mRNAs. Importantly, it has been shown that subsets of RBPs often work in concert, forming distinct regulatory complexes upon different cellular perturbation, creating an RBP combinatorial code, which through the translation of specific subsets of mRNAs, dictate cell fate. With the development of new methodologies, a plethora of novel RNA binding proteins have recently been identified, although the function of many of these proteins within mRNA translation is unknown. In this review we will discuss these methodologies and their shortcomings when applied to the study of translation, which need to be addressed to enable a better understanding of trans-acting translational regulatory proteins. Moreover, we discuss the protein domains that are responsible for RNA binding as well as the RNA motifs to which they bind, and the role of trans-acting ribosomal proteins in directing the translation of specific mRNAs. This article is categorized under: RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > RNA-Protein Complexes Translation > Translation Regulation Translation > Translation Mechanisms.

Abstract
Identifying deleterious mutations remains a challenge in cancer genome sequencing projects, reflecting the vast number of candidate mutations per tumour and the existence of interpatient heterogeneity. Based on a 3D protein interaction network profiled via large-scale cross-linking mass spectrometry, we propose a weighted average formula involving the combination of three types of information into a 'meta-score'. We assume that a single amino acid polymorphism (SAP) may have a deleterious effect if the mutation rarely occurs naturally during evolution, if it inhibits binding between a pair of interacting proteins when located at their interface, or if it plays an important role in a protein interaction (PPI) network. Cross-validation indicated that this new method presents an AUC value of 0.93 and outperforms other widely used tools. The application of this method to the CPTAC colorectal cancer dataset enabled the accurate identification of validated deleterious mutations and yielded insights into their potential pathogenesis. Survival analysis showed that the accumulation of deleterious SAPs is significantly associated with a poor prognosis. The new method provides an alternative method to identifying and ranking deleterious cancer SAPs based on a 3D PPI network and will contribute to the understanding of pathogenesis and the discovery of prognostic biomarkers.

Abstract
Metabolic pathways often employ assemblies of individual enzymes to facilitate substrate channeling to improve thermodynamic efficiency and confer pathway directionality. It is often assumed that subunits to multienzyme complexes are coregulated and accumulate at fixed levels in vivo, reflecting complex stoichiometry. Such assumptions can be experimentally tested using modern tandem mass spectrometry, and herein we describe such an approach applied toward an important metabolic complex. The committed step of de novo fatty acid synthesis in the plastids of most plants is catalyzed by the multienzyme, heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase (hetACCase). This complex is composed of four catalytic subunits and a recently discovered regulatory subunit resembling the biotin carboxyl carrier protein but lacking the biotinylation motif necessary for activity. To better understand this novel form of regulation, a targeted tandem mass-spectrometry-based assay was developed to absolutely quantify all subunits to the Arabidopsis thaliana hetACCase. After validation against pure, recombinant protein, this multiplexed assay was used to quantify hetACCase subunits in siliques in various stages of development. Quantitation provided a developmental profile of hetACCase and BADC protein expression that supports a recently proposed regulatory mechanism for hetACCase and demonstrates a promising application of targeted mass spectrometry for in vivo analysis of protein complexes.

Abstract
This protocol describes a workflow for creating structural models of proteins or protein complexes using distance restraints derived from cross-linking mass spectrometry experiments. The distance restraints are used (i) to adjust preliminary models that are calculated on the basis of a homologous template and primary sequence, and (ii) to select the model that is in best agreement with the experimental data. In the case of protein complexes, the cross-linking data are further used to dock the subunits to one another to generate models of the interacting proteins. Predicting models in such a manner has the potential to indicate multiple conformations and dynamic changes that occur in solution. This modeling protocol is compatible with many cross-linking workflows and uses open-source programs or programs that are free for academic users and do not require expertise in computational modeling. This protocol is an excellent additional application with which to use cross-linking results for building structural models of proteins. The established protocol is expected to take 6-12 d to complete, depending on the size of the proteins and the complexity of the cross-linking data.
