Abstract
Protein sulfoconjugation, or sulfation, represents a critical post-translational modification (PTM) process that involves the attachment of sulfate groups to various positions of substrates within the protein peptides or glycoproteins. This process plays a dynamic and complex role in many physiological and pathological processes. Here, we summarize the importance of sulfation in the fields of oncology, virology, drug-induced liver injury (DILI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and atherosclerosis. In oncology, sulfation is involved in tumor initiation, progression, and migration. In virology, sulfation influences viral entry, replication, and host immune response. In DILI, sulfation is associated with the incidence of DILI, where altered sulfation affects drug metabolism and toxicity. In IBD, dysregulation of sulfation compromises mucosal barrier and immune response. In atherosclerosis, sulfation influences the development of atherosclerosis by modulating the accumulation of lipoprotein, and the inflammation, proliferation, and migration of smooth muscle cells. The current review underscores the importance of further research to unravel the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic potential of targeting sulfoconjugation in various diseases. A better understanding of sulfation could facilitate the emergence of innovative diagnostic or therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Early and accurate diagnosis of AD is crucial for implementing timely interventions and developing effective therapeutic strategies. Proteome-based biomarkers have emerged as promising tools for AD diagnosis and prognosis due to their ability to reflect disease-specific molecular alterations. There is of great significance for biomarkers in AD diagnosis and management. It emphasizes the limitations of existing diagnostic approaches and the need for reliable and accessible biomarkers. Proteomics, a field that comprehensively analyzes the entire protein complement of cells, tissues, or bio fluids, is presented as a powerful tool for identifying AD biomarkers. There is a diverse range of proteomic approaches employed in AD research, including mass spectrometry, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and protein microarrays. The challenges associated with identifying reliable biomarkers, such as sample heterogeneity and the dynamic nature of the disease. There are well-known proteins implicated in AD pathogenesis, such as amyloid-beta peptides, tau protein, Apo lipoprotein E, and clusterin, as well as inflammatory markers and complement proteins. Validation and clinical utility of proteome-based biomarkers are addressing the challenges involved in validation studies and the diagnostic accuracy of these biomarkers. There is great potential in monitoring disease progression and response to treatment, thereby aiding in personalized medicine approaches for AD patients. There is a great role for bioinformatics and data analysis in proteomics for AD biomarker research and the importance of data preprocessing, statistical analysis, pathway analysis, and integration of multi-omics data for a comprehensive understanding of AD pathophysiology. In conclusion, proteome-based biomarkers hold great promise in the field of AD research. They provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms, aid in early diagnosis, and facilitate personalized treatment strategies. However, further research and validation studies are necessary to harness the full potential of proteome-based biomarkers in clinical practice.

Abstract
Legumes are the most important crop plants in agriculture, contributing 27% of the world's primary food production. However, productivity and production of Legumes is reduced due to increasing environmental stress. Hence, there is a pressing need to understand the molecular mechanism involved in stress response and legumes adaptation. Proteomics provides an important molecular approach to investigate proteins involved in stress response. Both the gel-based and gel-free-based techniques have significantly contributed to understanding the proteome regulatory network in leguminous plants. In the present review, we have discussed the role of different proteomic approaches (2-DE, 2 D-DIGE, ICAT, iTRAQ, etc.) in the identification of various stress-responsive proteins in important leguminous crops, including soybean, chickpea, cowpea, pigeon pea, groundnut, and common bean under variable abiotic stresses including heat, drought, salinity, waterlogging, frost, chilling and metal toxicity. The proteomic analysis has revealed that most of the identified differentially expressed proteins in legumes are involved in photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, signal transduction, protein metabolism, defense, and stress adaptation. The proteomic approaches provide insights in understanding the molecular mechanism of stress tolerance in legumes and have resulted in the identification of candidate genes used for the genetic improvement of plants against various environmental stresses. Identifying novel proteins and determining their expression under different stress conditions provide the basis for effective engineering strategies to improve stress tolerance in crop plants through marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) continues to be one of the most versatile and widely used techniques to study the proteome of a biological system, particularly in the separation of intact proteins. A modified version of 2D-PAGE, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), which uses differential labeling of protein samples with up to three fluorescent tags, offers greater sensitivity and reproducibility over conventional 2D-PAGE gels for differential quantitative analysis of protein expression between experimental groups. Both these methods have distinct advantages in the separation and identification of thousands of individual protein species including protein isoforms and post-translational modifications. This chapter discusses the principles of 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE including limitations to the methods. 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE continue to be popular methods in bioprocessing-related research, particularly on recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells, which are also discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
Ethical livestock production is currently a major concern for consumers. In parallel, research has shown that transport duration is an important factor affecting animal welfare and has a negative impact on the final product quality and on the production cost. This study applied proteomics methods to the animal stress/welfare problem in pigs muscle-exudate with the aim to identify proteins indicative of molecular processes underpinning transport stress and to better characterise this species as a biomedical model. A broader perspective of the problem was obtained by applying label-free LC-MS to characterise the proteome response to transport stress (short or long road transportation) in pigs within the same genetic line. A total of 1,464 proteins were identified, following statistical analysis 66 proteins clearly separating pigs subject to short road transportation and pigs subject long road transportation. These proteins were mainly involved in cellular and metabolic processes. Catalase and stress-induced phosphoprotein-1 were further confirmed by Western blot as being involved in the process of self-protection of the cells in response to stress. This study provide an insight into the molecular processes that are involved in pig adaptability to transport stress and are a step-forward for the development of an objective evaluation method of stress in order to improve animal care and management in farm animals.

Abstract
The collection of exposed plasma membrane proteins, collectively termed the surfaceome, is involved in multiple vital cellular processes, such as the communication of cells with their surroundings and the regulation of transport across the lipid bilayer. The surfaceome also plays key roles in the immune system by recognizing and presenting antigens, with its possible malfunctioning linked to disease. Surface proteins have long been explored as potential cell markers, disease biomarkers, and therapeutic drug targets. Despite its importance, a detailed study of the surfaceome continues to pose major challenges for mass spectrometry-driven proteomics due to the inherent biophysical characteristics of surface proteins. Their inefficient extraction from hydrophobic membranes to an aqueous medium and their lower abundance compared to intracellular proteins hamper the analysis of surface proteins, which are therefore usually underrepresented in proteomic datasets. To tackle such problems, several innovative analytical methodologies have been developed. This review aims at providing an extensive overview of the different methods for surfaceome analysis, with respective considerations for downstream mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Insights in the Degradation of Medium-Chain Length Dicarboxylic Acids in Cupriavidus necator H16 reveal Differences in β-Oxidation between Dicarboxylic Acids and Fatty Acids. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 88:e0187321.

Abstract
Many homologous genes encoding β-oxidation enzymes were found in the genome of Cupriavidus necator H16 (synonym: Ralstonia eutropha H16). By proteome analysis, the degradation of adipic acid was investigated and showed differences to the degradation of hexanoic acid. During β-oxidation of adipic acid, activation with coenzyme A (CoA) is catalyzed by the two-subunit acyl-CoA ligase encoded by B0198 and B0199. The operon is completed by B0200 encoding a thiolase catalyzing the cleavage of acetyl-CoA at the end of the β-oxidation cycle. Strain C. necator ΔB0198-B0200 showed improved growth on adipic acid. Potential substitutes are B1239 for B0198-B0199 and A0170 as well as A1445 for B0200. A deletion mutant without all three thiolases showed diminished growth. The deletion of detected acyl-CoA dehydrogenase encoded by B2555 has an altered phenotype grown with sebacic acid but not adipic acid. With hexanoic acid, acyl-CoA dehydrogenase encoded by B0087 was detected on 2D gels. Both enzymes are active with adipoyl-CoA and hexanoyl-CoA as substrates, but specific activity indicates a higher activity of B2555 with adipoyl-CoA. 2D gels, growth experiments and enzyme assays suggest the specific expression of B2555 for the degradation of dicarboxylic acids. In C. necator H16 the degradation of carboxylic acids potentially changes with an increasing chain length. Two operons involved in growth with long-chain fatty acids seem to be replaced during growth on medium-chain carboxylic acids. Only two deletion mutants showed diminished growth. Replacement of deleted genes with one of the numerous homologous is likely. Importance The biotechnologically interesting bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 was thoroughly investigated. Fifteen years ago, it was sequenced entirely and annotated (Pohlmann et al., 2006). Nevertheless, the degradation of monocarboxylic fatty acids and dicarboxylic acids has not been elucidated completely. C. necator is used to produce value-added products from affordable substrates. One of our investigations ' primary targets is the biotechnological production of organic acids with different and specific chain lengths. The versatile metabolism of carboxylic acids recommends C. necator H16 as a candidate for producing value-added organic products. Therefore, the metabolism of these compounds is of interest, and for different applications in industry, understanding such central metabolic pathways is crucial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostasomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) abundantly present in seminal plasma, express distinct tetraspanins (TS) and galectin-3 (gal-3), which are supposed to shape their surface by an assembly of different molecular complexes. In this study, detergent-sensitivity patterns of membrane-associated prostasomal proteins were determined aiming at the solubilization signature as an intrinsic multimolecular marker and a new parameter suitable as a reference for the comparison of EVs populations in health and disease. METHODS Prostasomes were disrupted by Triton X-100 and analyzed by gel filtration under conditions that maintained complete solubilization. Redistribution of TS (CD63, CD9, and CD81), gal-3, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and distinct N-glycans was monitored using solid-phase lectin-binding assays, transmission electron microscopy, electrophoresis, and lectin blot. RESULTS Comparative data on prostasomes under normal physiology and conditions of low sperm count revealed similarity regarding the redistribution of distinct N-glycans and GGT, all presumed to be mainly part of the vesicle coat. In contrast to this, a greater difference was found in the redistribution of integral membrane proteins, exemplified by TS and gal-3. Accordingly, they were grouped into two molecular patterns mainly consisting of overlapped CD9/gal-3/wheat germ agglutinin-reactive glycoproteins and CD63/GGT/concanavalin A-reactive glycoproteins. CONCLUSIONS Solubilization signature can be considered as an all-inclusive distinction factor regarding the surface properties of a particular vesicle since it reflects the status of the parent cell and the extracellular environment, both of which contribute to the composition of spatial membrane arrangements.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has been instrumental in the development of proteomics. Although it is no longer the exclusive scheme used for proteomics, its unique features make it a still highly valuable tool, especially when multiple quantitative comparisons of samples must be made, and even for large samples series. However, quantitative proteomics using two-dimensional gels is critically dependent on the performances of the protein detection methods used after the electrophoretic separations. This chapter therefore examines critically the various detection methods, (radioactivity, dyes, fluorescence, and silver) as well as the data analysis issues that must be taken into account when quantitative comparative analysis of two-dimensional gels is performed.

Abstract
Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) microdomains, or “raft lipids”, are key components of the plasma membrane (PM), being involved in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, cell wall metabolism or endocytosis. Proteins imbibed in these domains play important roles in these cellular functions, but there are few studies concerning DRMs under abiotic stress. In this work, we determine DRMs from the PM of broccoli roots, the lipid and protein content, the vesicles structure, their water osmotic permeability and a proteomic characterization focused mainly in aquaporin isoforms under salinity (80 mM NaCl). Based on biochemical lipid composition, higher fatty acid saturation and enriched sterol content under stress resulted in membranes, which decreased osmotic water permeability with regard to other PM vesicles, but this permeability was maintained under control and saline conditions; this maintenance may be related to a lower amount of total PIP1 and PIP2. Selective aquaporin isoforms related to the stress response such as PIP1;2 and PIP2;7 were found in DRMs and this protein partitioning may act as a mechanism to regulate aquaporins involved in the response to salt stress. Other proteins related to protein synthesis, metabolism and energy were identified in DRMs independently of the treatment, indicating their preference to organize in DMRs.

Abstract
Proteomics has played an important role in elucidating the fundamental processes occuring in living cells. Translating these methods to metallodrug research ('metalloproteomics') has provided a means for molecular target identification of metal-based anticancer agents which should signifcantly advance the research field. In combination with biological assays, these techniques have enabled the mechanisms of action of metallodrugs to be linked to their interactions with molecular targets and aid understanding of their biological properties. Such investigations have profoundly increased our knowledge of the complex and dynamic nature of metallodrug-biomolecule interactions and have provided, at least for some compound types, a more detailed picture on their specific protein-binding patterns. This perspective highlights the progression of metallodrug proteomics research for the identification of non-DNA targets from standard analytical techniques to powerful metallodrug pull-down methods.

Abstract
In this second decade of the 21st century, we are lucky enough to have different types of proteomic analyses at our disposal. Furthermore, other functional omics such as transcriptomics have also undergone major developments, resulting in mature tools. However, choice equals questions, and the major question is how each proteomic strategy is fit for which purpose. The aim of this opinion paper is to reposition the various proteomic strategies in the frame of what is known in terms of biological regulations in order to shed light on the power, limitations, and paths for improvement for the different proteomic setups. This should help biologists to select the best-suited proteomic strategy for their purposes in order not to be driven by raw availability or fashion arguments but rather by the best fitness for purpose. In particular, knowing the limitations of the different proteomic strategies helps in interpreting the results correctly and in devising the validation experiments that should be made downstream of the proteomic analyses.

Abstract
Subcellular proteome analysis is one of the most effective ways to reduce the complexity of total proteome. With the advancement in protein extraction methodologies, it is now possible to fractionate and isolate the proteins from subcellular compartments without significant contamination from the cytoplasm and other organelles. Of the different subcellular proteomes, plasma membrane remained largely uncharacterized because of the difficulties in isolation of contamination free plasma membrane proteins. Moreover, proteome analysis in the past two decades majorly relied on the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis which showed limited protein loading ability and poor separation of highly hydrophobic plasma membrane proteins. Development of shotgun proteomics methods has facilitated the identification and quantification of hydrophobic proteins isolated from plasma membrane or other cellular membranes. Here, we present a simplified procedure for the isolation of plasma membrane proteins by a two-phase partitioning method and their identification by shotgun proteomics approach using rice as a model plant.

Abstract
Renal tubular cells release urinary extracellular vesicles (uEV) that are considered a promising source of molecular markers for renal dysfunction and injury. We investigated uEV proteomes of patients with hereditary salt-losing tubulopathies (SLTs), focusing on those caused by Gitelman and Bartter (BS) syndromes, to provide potential markers for differential diagnosis. Second morning urine was collected from patients with genetically proven SLTs and uEV were isolated by the ultracentrifugation-based protocol. The uEV proteome was run through a diagonal bidimensional electrophoresis (16BAC/SDS-PAGE), to improve hydrophobic protein resolution. Sixteen differential spots from the proteome of two variants (BS2 and BS3) were analysed by nLC-ESI-MS/MS after in-gel tryptic digestion. A total of 167 protein species were identified from 7 BS2 spots and 9 BS3 spot. Most of these proteins were membrane-associated proteins, in particular transmembrane proteins, and were related to typical renal functions. The differential content of some uEV was then validated by immunoblotting. Our work suggests that uEV proteomics represents a promising strategy for the identification of differential SLT proteins. This could play a role in understanding the pathophysiological disease mechanisms and may support the recognition of different syndromes.

[PMID: 32014766 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.136834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2019] [Revised: 01/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Over the past decades, the occurrence, distribution and intensity of harmful algal blooms involving the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum have increased in marine coastal areas disturbed by anthropogenic inputs. This invasive species produces saxitoxin, which causes the paralytic shellfish poisoning syndrome in humans upon consumption of contaminated seafood. Blooms of A. pacificum have been reported in metal-contaminated coastal ecosystems, suggesting some ability of these microorganisms to adapt to and/or resist in metal stress conditions. This study seeks to characterize the modifications in membrane proteomes (by 2-D electrophoresis coupled to LC-MS/MS), cell growth and morphometry (measured with an inverted microscope), in response to metal stress (addition of Zn2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+), in two Mediterranean A. pacificum strains: SG C10-3 and TAR C5-4F, respectively isolated from the Santa Giusta Lagoon (Sardinia, Italy) and from the Tarragona seaport (Spain), both metal-contaminated ecosystems. In the SG C10-3 cultures grown in a metal cocktail, cell growth was significantly delayed, and cell size increased (22% of 37.5 μm cells after 25 days of growth). Conversely, no substantial change was observed for cell growth or cell size in the TAR C5-4F cultures grown in a metal cocktail (P > 0.10), thus indicating intraspecific variability in the responses of A. pacificum strains to metal contamination. Regardless of the conditions tested, the total number of proteins constituting the membrane proteome was significantly higher for TAR C5-4F than for SG C10-3, which may help TAR C5-4F to thrive better in contaminated conditions. For both strains, the total number of proteins constituting the membrane proteomes was significantly lower in response to metal stress (29% decrease in the SG C10-3 proteome: 82 ± 12 proteins for controls, and 58 ± 12 in metal-contaminated cultures; 17% decrease in the TAR C5-4F proteome: 101 ± 8 proteins for controls, and 84 ± 5 in metal-contaminated cultures). Moreover, regardless of the strain, proteins with significantly modified expression in response to stress were mainly down-regulated (representing 45% of the proteome for SG C10-3 and 38% for TAR C5-4F), clearly showing the harmful effects of the metals. Protein down-regulation may affect cell transport (actin and phospholipid scramblase in SG C10-3), photosynthesis (RUBISCO in SG C10-3, light-harvesting protein in TAR C5-4F, and high-CO2-inducing periplasmic protein in both strains), and finally energy metabolism (ATP synthase in both strains). However, other modifications in protein expression may confer to these A. pacificum strains a capacity for adaptation and/or resistance to metal stress conditions, for example by (i) limiting the metal entry through the plasma membrane of the SG C10-3 cells (via the down-regulation of scramblase) and/or (ii) reducing the oxidative stress generated by metals in SG C10-3 and TAR C5-4F cells (due to down-regulation of ATP-synthase).

Abstract
A subsection of integral membrane proteins partition into chloroform during a chloroform/methanol/water extraction primarily designed to extract lipids. Traditionally, these proteins were called proteolipids due to their lipid-like properties; the c-subunit of the ATP synthase integral FO component is the best known due to its abundance. In this manuscript, we investigate purification of proteolipid proteins away from lipids for high-resolution mass spectrometry. Size-exclusion chromatography on silica beads using a chloroform/methanol/aqueous formic acid (4/4/1; v/v) mobile phase allowed the separation of larger proteins (>3 kDa) from lipids (<1.5 kDa) and analysis by online electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Fraction collection for mass spectrometry was limited by presence of plasticizers and other contaminants solubilized by chloroform. Drying down of the protein sample followed by resuspension in formic acid (70%) allowed reverse-phase chromatography on a polymeric support at elevated temperature, as described previously. Fractions collected in this way could be stored for extended periods at −80 °C without adducts or contaminants. Top–down mass spectrometry enabled the definition of PsaI as a novel proteolipid of spinach thylakoid membrane. Proteolipid preparation worked similarly when total membranes from mouse brains were extracted with chloroform. While it might be tempting to use the described extraction, we prefer to broaden the meaning of the term, whereby the proteolipidome is defined as a novel biological membrane proteome that includes the full complement of membrane proteins, their binding partners/ligands and their tightly bound structural lipids that constitute each protein–lipid complex’s functional unit; that is, a complete description of a biological membrane.

Abstract
Solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) provides the possibility to chemically synthesize peptides and proteins. Applying the method on hydrophilic structures is usually without major drawbacks but faces extreme complications when it comes to "difficult sequences." These includes the vitally important, ubiquitously present and structurally demanding membrane proteins and their functional parts, such as ion channels, G-protein receptors, and other pore-forming structures. Standard synthetic and ligation protocols are not enough for a successful synthesis of these challenging sequences. In this review we highlight, summarize and evaluate the possibilities for synthetic production of "difficult sequences" by SPPS, native chemical ligation (NCL) and follow-up protocols.

Phenotype and TMT-based quantitative proteomics analysis of Brassica napus reveals new insight into chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast structure. J Proteomics 2019; 214:103621.

Abstract
The conversion of light energy into chemical energy in leaves is very important for plant growth and development. During this process, chlorophylls and their derivatives are indispensable as their fundamental role in the energy absorption and transduction activities. Chlorophyll variation mutants are important materials for studying chlorophyll metabolism, chloroplast biogenesis, photosynthesis and related physiological processes. Here, a chlorophyll-reduced mutant (crm1) was isolated from ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenized Brassica napus. Compared to wild type, crm1 showed yellow leaves, reduced chlorophyll content, fewer thylakoid stacks and retarded growth. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis with Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) isobaric labeling showed that totally 4575 proteins were identified from the chloroplast of Brassica napus leaves, and 466 of which displayed differential accumulations between wild type and crm1. The differential abundance proteins were found to be involved in chlorophyll metabolism, photosynthesis, phagosome and proteasome. Our results suggest that the decreased abundance of chlorophyll biosynthetic enzymes, proteins involved in photosynthesis might account for the reduced chlorophyll content, impaired thylakoid structure, and reduction of plant productivity. The increased abundance of proteins involved in phagosome and proteasome pathways might allow plants to adapt the proteome to environmental conditions to ensure growth and survival due to chlorophyll reduction. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Photosynthesis, which consists of light and dark reactions, is fundamental to biomass production. Chloroplast is regarded as the main site for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the pigment chlorophyll is essential for light harvesting and energy transfer. This work provides new insights into protein expression patterns, and enables the identification of many attractive candidates for investigation of chlorophyll biosynthesis, chloroplast structure and photosynthesis in Brassica napus. These findings may be applied to improve the photosynthetic efficiency by genetic engineering in crops.

Abstract
Purpose: Generation of antibodies which potentially discriminate between malignant and healthy cells is an important prerequisite for early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer (GC). Comparative analysis of cell surface protein landscape will provide an experimental basis for biomarker discovery, which is essential for targeted molecular therapies. This study aimed to isolate phage-displayed antibody fragments recognizing cell surface proteins, which were differently expressed between two closely related GC cell lines, namely AGS and MKN-45. Methods: We selected and screened a semisynthetic phage-scFv library on AGS, MKN-45, and NIH-3T3 cell lines by utilizing a tailored selection scheme that was designed to isolate phagescFvs that not only recognize the differentiated AGS cells but also distinguish them from NIH3T3 fibroblasts and the poorly differentiated MKN-45 cells. Results: After four rounds of subtractive whole cell panning, 14 unique clones were identified by ELISA screening and nucleotide sequencing. For further characterization, we focused on four phage-scFvs with strong signals in screening, and their specificity was confirmed by cell-based ELISA. Furthermore, the selected phage-scFvs were able to specifically stain AGS cells with 38.74% (H1), 11.04% (D11), 76.93% (G11), and 69.03% (D1) in flow cytometry analysis which supported the ability of these phage scFvs in distinguishing AGS from MKN-45 and NIH-3T3 cells. Conclusion: Combined with other proteomic techniques, these phage-scFvs can be applied to membrane proteome analysis and, subsequently, identification of novel tumor-related antigens mediating proliferation and differentiation of cells. Furthermore, such antibody fragments can be exploited for diagnostic purposes as well as targeted drug delivery of GC.

Abstract
The aggregation of proteins compromises cell fitness, either because it titrates functional proteins into non-productive inclusions or because it results in the formation of toxic assemblies. Accordingly, computational proteome-wide analyses suggest that prevention of aggregation upon misfolding plays a key role in sequence evolution. Most proteins spend their lifetimes in a folded state; therefore, it is conceivable that, in addition to sequences, protein structures would have also evolved to minimize the risk of aggregation in their natural environments. By exploiting the AGGRESCAN3D structure-based approach to predict the aggregation propensity of >600 Escherichia coli proteins, we show that the structural aggregation propensity of globular proteins is connected with their abundance, length, essentiality, subcellular location and quaternary structure. These data suggest that the avoidance of protein aggregation has contributed to shape the structural properties of proteins in bacterial cells.

Abstract
Plasma membrane proteins perform a variety of important tasks in the cells. These tasks can be diverse as carrying nutrients across the plasma membrane, receiving chemical signals from outside the cell, translating them into intracellular action, and anchoring the cell in a particular location. When these crucial roles of plasma membrane proteins are considered, the need for their characterization becomes inevitable. Certain characteristics of plasma membrane proteins such as hydrophobicity, low solubility, and low abundance limit their detection by proteomic analyses. Here, we presented a comparative proteomics study in which the most commonly used plasma membrane protein enrichment methods were evaluated. The methods that were utilized include biotinylation, selective CyDye labeling, temperature-dependent phase partition, and density-gradient ultracentrifugation. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the level of plasma membrane protein enrichment using plasma membrane and cytoplasmic protein markers. Quantitative evaluation of the level of enrichment was performed by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and benzyldimethyl-n-hexadecylammonium chloride/sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (16-BAC/SDS-PAGE) from which the protein spots were cut and identified. Results from this study demonstrated that density-gradient ultracentrifugation method was superior when coupled with 16-BAC/SDS-PAGE. This work presents a valuable contribution and provides a future direction to the membrane sub-proteome research by evaluating commonly used methods for plasma membrane protein enrichment.

Abstract
Membrane proteins solubilized in a starting buffer containing high concentration of SDS are directly entrapped and immobilized into gel matrix when the membrane protein solution is absorbed by the vacuum-dried polyacrylamide gel. After the detergent and other salts are removed by washing, the proteins are subjected to in-gel digestion, and the tryptic peptides are extracted and analyzed by CapLC-MS/MS. The newly developed method not only avoids protein loss and the adverse protein modifications during gel-embedment but also improves the subsequent in-gel digestion and the recovery of tryptic peptides, particularly hydrophobic peptides. Thus, this method facilitates the identification of membrane proteins, especially integral membrane proteins.

Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica membrane proteins are important players toward the pathogenesis of amoebiasis, but the roles of most of the proteins are not fully understood. Since efficient protein extraction method is crucial for a successful MS analysis, three extractions methods are evaluated for the use in studying the membrane proteome of E. histolytica: Two commercial kits (ProteoExtract from Calbiochem and ProteoPrep from Sigma), and a conventional laboratory method. The results show that ProteoExtract and the conventional method gave higher protein yields compared to ProteoPrep. LC-ESI-MS/MS identifies 456, 482, and 551 membrane fraction proteins extracted using ProteoExtract, ProteoPrep, and a conventional method, respectively. In silico analysis predicts 108 (21%), 235 (45%), and 177 (34%) membrane proteins from the extracts of ProteoExtract, ProteoPrep, and the conventional method, respectively. Furthermore, analysis of the cytosolic and membrane fractions shows the highest selectivity of the membrane proteins using the ProteoPrep extraction kit. Overall, this study reports 828 E. histolytica membrane fraction proteins that include 249 predicted membrane proteins. The data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD010171.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Skeletal muscle is the major site of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and imparts the beneficial effects of exercise, and hence is an important site of insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite extensive molecular biology-oriented research the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in skeletal muscle remain to be established. Areas covered: The proteomic capabilities have greatly improved over the last decades. This review summarizes the technical challenges in skeletal muscle proteomics studies as well as the results of quantitative proteomic studies of skeletal muscle in relation to obesity, T2D, and exercise. Expert commentary: Current available proteomic studies contribute to the view that insulin resistance in obesity and T2D is associated with increased glycolysis and reduced mitochondrial oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle, and that the latter can be improved by exercise. Future proteomics studies should be designed to markedly intensify the identification of abnormalities in metabolic and signaling pathways in skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant individuals to increase the understanding of the pathogenesis of T2D, but more importantly to identify multiple novel targets of treatment of which at least some can be safely targeted by novel drugs to treat and prevent T2D and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is an efficient method used to isolate high-affinity single stranded oligonucleotides from a large random sequence pool. These SELEX-derived oligonucleotides named aptamer, can be selected against a broad spectrum of target molecules including proteins, cells, microorganisms and chemical compounds. Like antibodies, aptamers have a great potential in interacting with and binding to their targets through structural recognition and are therefore called "chemical antibodies". However, aptamers offer advantages over antibodies including smaller size, better tissue penetration, higher thermal stability, lower immunogenicity, easier production, lower cost of synthesis and facilitated conjugation or modification with different functional moieties. Thus, aptamers represent an attractive substitution for protein antibodies in the fields of biomarker discovery, diagnosis, imaging and targeted therapy. Enormous interest in aptamer technology triggered the development of SELEX that has underwent numerous modifications since its introduction in 1990. This review will discuss the recent advances in SELEX methods and their advantages and limitations. Aptamer applications are also briefly outlined in this review.

Front Chem 2018; 6:372.

Abstract
In this paper we investigate the effect of three different types of surfactants, on the hydrolysis of Cytochrome c (Cyt c), a predominantly α helical protein containing a heme group, promoted by [Ce(α PW11O39)2]10- (CeK) and [Zr(α PW11O39)2]10- (ZrK) polyoxometalates. In the presence of SDS, Zw3 12, or CHAPS surfactants, which are commonly used for solubilizing hydrophobic proteins, the specificity of CeK or ZrK toward hydrolysis of Cyt c does not change. However, the hydrolysis rate of Cyt c by CeK was increased in the presence of SDS, but decreased in the presence of CHAPS, and was nearly inhibited in the presence of Zw3 12. The Circular dichroism and Tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy have shown that the structural changes in Cyt c caused by surfactants are similar to those caused by POMs, hence the same specificity in the absence or presence of surfactants was observed. The results also indicate that for Cyt c hydrolysis to occur, large unfolding of the protein is needed in order to accommodate the POMs. While SDS readily unfolds Cyt c, the protein remains largely folded in the presence of CHAPS and Zw3 12. Addition of POMs to Cyt c solutions in CHAPS results in unfolding of the structure allowing the interaction with POMs to occur and results in protein hydrolysis. Zw3 12, however, locks Cyt c in a conformation that resists unfolding upon addition of POM, and therefore results in nearly complete inhibition of protein hydrolysis.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of the current study were to characterize the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis (Fno) STIR-GUS-F2f7, and identify proteins recognized by sera from tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, (L) that survived experimental challenge with Fno. METHODS AND RESULTS The composition of the OMPs of a virulent strain of Fno (STIR-GUS-F2f7), isolated from diseased red Nile tilapia in the United Kingdom, was examined. The sarcosine-insoluble OMPs fraction was screened with tilapia hyperimmune sera by western blot analysis following separation of the proteins by 1D SDS-PAGE. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was used to identify the various proteins present in the OMP profile. Two hundred and thirty-nine proteins were identified, of which 44 were found in the immunogenic band recognized by the tilapia hyperimmune serum. In silico analysis was performed to predict the function and location of the OMPs identified by MS. CONCLUSIONS Using a powerful proteomic-based approach in conjugation with western immunoblotting, proteins comprising the outer membrane fraction of Fno STIR-GUS-F2f7 were identified, catalogued and screened for immune recognition by tilapia sera. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The current study is the first report on the characterization of Fno-OMPs. The findings here provide preliminary data on bacterial surface proteins that exist in direct contact with the host's immune defences during infection and offer an insight into the pathogenesis of Fno.

Abstract
Surface proteins are the major factor for the interaction between bacteria and its environment, playing an important role in infection, colonisation, virulence and adaptation. However, the study of surface proteins has proven difficult mainly due to their hydrophobicity and/or relatively low abundance compared with cytoplasmic proteins. To overcome these issues new proteomic strategies have been developed, such as cell-surface protein labelling using biotinylation reagents. Sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin is the most commonly used reagent to investigate the proteins expressed at the cell surface of various organisms but its use in lipopolysaccharidic diderm bacteria (archetypical Gram-negative bacteria) remains limited to a handful of species. While generally pass over in silence, some periplasmic proteins, but also some inner membrane lipoproteins, integral membrane proteins and cytoplasmic proteins (cytoproteins) are systematically identified following this approach. To limit cell lysis and diffusion of the sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin through the outer membrane, biotin labelling was tested over short incubation times and proved to be as efficient for 1 min at room temperature. To further limit labelling of protein located below the outer membrane, the use of high-molecular weight sulfo-NHS-PEG4-bismannose-SS-biotin appeared to recover differentially cell-envelope proteins compared to low-molecular weight sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin. Actually, the sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin recovers at a higher extent the proteins completely or partly exposed in the periplasm than sulfo-NHS-PEG4-bismannose-SS-biotin, namely periplasmic and integral membrane proteins as well as inner membrane and outer membrane lipoproteins. These results highlight that protein labelling using biotinylation reagents of different sizes provides a sophisticated and accurate way to differentially explore the cell envelope proteome of lipopolysaccharidic diderm bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE While generally pass over in silence, some periplasmic proteins, inner membrane lipoproteins (IMLs), integral membrane proteins (IMPs) and cytoplasmic proteins (cytoproteins) are systematically identified following cell-surface biotin labelling in lipopolysaccharidic diderm bacteria (archetypal Gram-negative bacteria).

Abstract
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) continues to be one of the most versatile and widely used techniques to study the proteome of a biological system. In particular, a modified version of 2D-PAGE, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), which uses differential labeling of protein samples with up to three fluorescent tags, offers greater sensitivity and reproducibility over conventional 2D-PAGE gels for differential quantitative analysis of protein expression between experimental groups. Both these methods have distinct advantages in the separation and identification of thousands of individual proteins species including protein isoforms and post-translational modifications. This review will discuss the principles of 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE including limitations to the methods. 2D-PAGE and 2D-DIGE continue to be popular methods in bioprocessing-related research (particularly on recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells), which will also be discussed in the review chapter.

Abstract
Chloroplasts are semiautonomous organelles found in plants and protists. They are surrounded by a double membrane system, or envelope. These envelope membranes contain machineries to import nuclear-encoded proteins, and transporters for ions or metabolites, but are also essential for a range of plastid-specific metabolisms. The inner membrane surrounds a stroma, which is the site of the carbon chemistry of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts also contain an internal membrane system, or thylakoids, where the light phase of photosynthesis occurs. The thylakoid membranes themselves have a bipartite structure, consisting of grana stacks interconnected by stroma lamellae. These thylakoid membranes however form a continuous network that encloses a single lumenal space. Chloroplast-encoded or targeted proteins are thus addressed to various sub-compartments that turn out to be flexible systems and whose main functions can be modulated by alterations in the relative levels of their components. This article describes procedures developed to recover highly purified chloroplast membrane fractions (i.e., envelope, crude thylakoid membranes, as well as the two main thylakoid subdomains, grana and stroma lamellae), starting from Percoll-purified Arabidopsis chloroplasts. Immunological markers are also listed that can be used to assess the purity of these fractions and reveal specific contaminations by other plastid membrane compartments. The methods described here are compatible with chloroplast proteome dynamic studies relying on targeted quantitative proteomic investigations.

Abstract
Plasma membrane (PM) proteins are of special interest due to their function in exchanging material and information with the external environment as well as their role in cellular regulation. In quantitative proteomic studies PM proteins are underrepresented mostly because they constitute only small percent of all membrane proteins. Strong demand is placed on plasma membrane enrichment methods. For decades two-phase partitioning Dextran T500/PEG 3350 isolation protocols were applied for many different animal and plant species and also a variety of tissue types. The typical quantity of material used in the enrichment protocols is 10-30 g of fresh weight. The main difficulty of working with in vitro cultivated plants is the low amount of material, especially when roots are examined. In addition, roots are frequently characterized by low protein concentrations. Our protocol established for roots of in vitro cultivated potato plants is adjusted to amounts of fresh weight not exceeding 7.5 g and allows studying the plasma membrane proteome by LC-MS.

Abstract
An unmet challenge in the study of disease is to accurately streamline the identification of important virulence factors. Traditional, genetically driven approaches miss biologically relevant markers due to discordance between the genome and proteome. Here, we developed a nanotechnology-enabled affinity enrichment strategy coupled with multiplexed quantitative proteomics, namely Biomimetic Virulomics, for successful identification of cell-type specific effector proteins of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens. We highlight the power of Biomimetic Virulomics by capturing known virulence factors in a high-throughput, cell-type guided fashion. Additionally, a comprehensive characterization of the membrane protein component of biomimetics utilized in this strategy is provided. Interfacing cell-derived nanomaterials with multiplexed quantitative proteomics allow for a specific targeting strategy of virulence factors that can be utilized for drug discovery against prominent human diseases.

Abstract
In order to simplify a complex mixture of soluble proteins from tissues, a protocol to fractionate samples prior to two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis has been developed. These methods involve the use of DEAE-Sepharose, SP-Sepharose, and phenyl Sepharose chromatographic columns and the fractionation of the protein mixtures based on differential anionic, cationic, and hydrophobic properties of the proteins, respectively. Fractionation of the soluble proteins with DEAE-Sepharose can result in an increase in the number of detectable 2D gel spots. These gel spots are amenable to protein identification by using in-gel trypsin digestions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and peptide mass fingerprinting. The DEAE-Sepharose column fractionation acts to partition soluble proteins from cell extracts. Similarly, a SP-Sepharose column can fractionate soluble proteins and increase the number of detectable gel spots. Lastly, fractionation of cell extract with a phenyl Sepharose column can also result in an increase in the number of detectable 2D gel spots. This chapter describes an easy, inexpensive way to fractionate soluble proteins and a way to better profile proteomes.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is characterized by early transcoelomic metastatic spread via the peritoneal fluid, where tumor cell spheroids (TU), tumor-associated T cells (TAT), and macrophages (TAM) create a unique microenvironment promoting cancer progression, chemoresistance, and immunosuppression. However, the underlying signaling mechanisms remain largely obscure. To chart these signaling networks, we performed comprehensive proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of TU, TAT, and TAM from ascites of ovarian cancer patients. We identify multiple intercellular signaling pathways driven by protein or lipid mediators that are associated with clinical outcome. Beyond cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, these include proteins of the extracellular matrix, immune checkpoint regulators, complement factors, and a prominent network of axon guidance molecules of the ephrin, semaphorin, and slit families. Intriguingly, both TU and TAM from patients with a predicted short survival selectively produce mediators supporting prometastatic events, including matrix remodeling, stemness, invasion, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression, whereas TAM associated with a longer survival express cytokines linked to effector T-cell chemoattraction and activation. In summary, our study uncovers previously unrecognized signaling networks in the ovarian cancer microenvironment that are of potential clinical relevance.

This preparation has a high lipid content and five abundant membrane proteins (FetA, PorA, PorB, RmpM, and Opc), constituting approximately 70% of the total protein mass. The protein composition was determined by combining the use of the Hexapeptide Ligand Library and an orthogonal tandem fractionation of tryptic peptides by reverse-phase chromatography at alkaline and acid pH. This approach equalizes the concentration of tryptic peptides derived from low- and high-abundance proteins as well as considerably simplifying the number of peptides analyzed by LC-MS/MS, enhancing the possibility of identifying low-abundance species. Fifty-one percent of the proteins originally annotated as membrane proteins in the genome of the MC58 strain were identified. One hundred and sixty-eight low-abundance cytosolic proteins presumably occluded within OMV were also identified. Four (NadA, NUbp, GNA2091, and fHbp), out of the five antigens constituting the Bexsero® vaccine, were detected in this OMV preparation. In particular, fHbp is also the active principle of the Trumenba® vaccine developed by Pfizer. The HpuA and HpuB gene products (not annotated in the MC58 genome) were identified in the CU385 strain, a clinical isolate that is used to produce this OMV. Considering the proteins identified here and previous work done by our group, the protein catalogue of this OMV preparation was extended to 266 different protein species.

Abstract
Tooth amelogenesis is a complex process beginning with enamel organ cell differentiation and enamel matrix secretion, transitioning through changes in ameloblast polarity, cytoskeletal, and matrix organization, that affects crucial biomineralization events such as mineral nucleation, enamel crystal growth, and enamel prism organization. Here we have harvested the enamel organ including the pliable enamel matrix of postnatal first mandibular mouse molars during the first 8 days of tooth enamel development to conduct a step-wise cross-sectional analysis of the changes in the mineral and protein phase. Mineral phase diffraction pattern analysis using single-crystal, powder sample X-ray diffraction analysis indicated conversion of calcium phosphate precursors to partially fluoride substituted hydroxyapatite from postnatal day 4 (4 dpn) onwards. Attenuated total reflectance spectra (ATR) revealed a substantial elevation in phosphate and carbonate incorporation as well as structural reconfiguration between postnatal days 6 and 8. Nanoscale liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) demonstrated highest protein counts for ECM/cell surface proteins, stress/heat shock proteins, and alkaline phosphatase on postnatal day 2, high counts for ameloblast cytoskeletal proteins such as tubulin β5, tropomyosin, β-actin, and vimentin on postnatal day 4, and elevated levels of cofilin-1, calmodulin, and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase on day 6. Western blot analysis of hydrophobic enamel proteins illustrated continuously increasing amelogenin levels from 1 dpn until 8 dpn, while enamelin peaked on days 1 and 2 dpn, and ameloblastin on days 1-5 dpn. In summary, these data document the substantial changes in the enamel matrix protein and mineral phase that take place during postnatal mouse molar amelogenesis from a systems biological perspective, including (i) relatively high levels of matrix protein expression during the early secretory stage on postnatal day 2, (ii) conversion of calcium phosphates to apatite, peak protein folding and stress protein counts, and increased cytoskeletal protein levels such as actin and tubulin on day 4, as well as (iii) secondary structure changes, isomerase activity, highest amelogenin levels, and peak phosphate/carbonate incorporation between postnatal days 6 and 8. Together, this study provides a baseline for a comprehensive understanding of the mineralogic and proteomic events that contribute to the complexity of mammalian tooth enamel development.

Identification of novel biomarkers for treatment monitoring in canine leishmaniosis by high-resolution quantitative proteomic analysis. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2017; 191:60-67. [PMID: 28895868 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetimm.2017.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2017] [Revised: 08/03/2017] [Accepted: 08/08/2017] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to use the Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) isobaric label-based proteomic approach, in order to identify new potential biomarkers for the treatment monitoring of canine leishmaniosis that could not be identified by the use of gel-based techniques. For this purpose serum samples were obtained from 5 clinically diseased dogs before and one month after the treatment of canine leishmaniosis. The non-depleted serum samples were subjected to reduction, alkylation and trypsin digestion, and the resulting peptides were labeled using 6-plex TMT reagents. To obtain information about protein identities and relative quantification, liquid chromatography-MS analysis of multiplexed TMT-labeled peptides was employed. This gel-free, label-based quantitative proteomic approach enabled identification of 117 canine proteins. Among these, 23 showed significant difference (p<0.05) in expression (two downregulated and 21 upregulated ranging from 1.25 to 2.5 fold change). Comparison of gel-free TMT-based quantification and a gel-based approach previously applied to the same samples resulted in the identification of some common markers (Apo-A1, vitamin D binding protein and RBP4). However, 20 additional differentially represented proteins were highlighted by the gel-free approach, 13 of which have not been previously reported in canine leishmaniosis. In conclusion, the TMT-based proteomic approach allowed identification of new serum proteins that significantly change in concentration after canine leishmaniosis treatment. These proteins are involved in various physiopathological processes such as inflammatory, coagulation or defense mechanisms, and could potentially be suitable biomarkers for treatment monitoring of this parasitic disease.

Abstract
Aim: During infection development in the host, Paracoccidioides spp. faces the deprivation of micronutrients, a mechanism called nutritional immunity. This condition induces the remodeling of proteins present in different metabolic pathways. Therefore, we attempted to identify membrane proteins and their regulation by zinc in Paracoccidioides lutzii. Materials & methods: Membranes enriched fraction of yeast cells of P. lutzii were isolated, purified and identified by 2D LC–MS/MS detection and database search. Results & conclusion: Zinc deprivation suppressed the expression of membrane proteins such as glycoproteins, those involved in cell wall synthesis and those related to oxidative phosphorylation. This is the first study describing membrane proteins and the effect of zinc deficiency in their regulation in one member of the genus Paracoccidioides. The methodology of protein identification allows the characterization of biological processes performed by those molecules. Therefore, we performed a membrane proteomic analysis of Paracoccidioides lutzii and further evaluated the responses of the fungus to zinc deprivation. The results obtained in the work allowed the characterization of membrane proteins present in organelles that are related to different cellular functions. Zinc deprivation changes processes related to cellular physiology and metabolism. These results help us to understand the process of pathogen–host interaction, since zinc deprivation is a condition present during infection.

Abstract
Analysis of the cellular proteome can help to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases due to the development of technologies that permit the large-scale identification and quantification of the proteins present in complex biological systems.The knowledge gained from a proteomic approach can potentially lead to a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying diseases, allowing for the identification of novel diagnostic and prognostic disease markers, and, hopefully, of therapeutic targets. However, the cardiac mitral valve represents a very challenging sample for proteomic analysis because of the low cellularity in proteoglycan and collagen-enriched extracellular matrix. This makes it challenging to extract proteins for a global proteomic analysis. This work describes a protocol that is compatible with subsequent protein analysis, such as quantitative proteomics and immunoblotting. This can allow for the correlation of data concerning protein expression with data on quantitative mRNA expression and non-quantitative immunohistochemical analysis. Indeed, these approaches, when performed together, will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases, from mRNA to post-translational protein modification. Thus, this method can be relevant to researchers interested in the study of cardiac valve physiopathology.

Abstract
In the present work, we describe the synthesis and the temperature-dependent behavior of photoreactive membrane lipids as well as their capability to study peptide/lipid interactions. The modified phospholipids contain an azide group either in the middle part or at the end of an alkyl chain and also differ in the linkage (ester vs ether) of the second alkyl chain. The temperature-dependent aggregation behavior of the azidolipids was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Aggregate structures were visualized by stain and cryo transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and were further characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS). We show that the position of the azide group and the type of linkage of the alkyl chain at the sn-2 position of the glycerol influences the type of aggregates formed as well as their long-term stability: P10AzSPC and r12AzSHPC show the formation of extrudable liposomes, which are stable in size during storage. In contrast, azidolipids that carry a terminal azido moiety either form extrudable liposomes, which show time-dependent vesicle fusion (P15AzPdPC), or self-assemble in large sheet-like, nonextrudable aggregates (r15AzPdHPC) where the lipid molecules are arranged in an interdigitated orientation at temperatures below Tm (LβI phase). Finally, a P10AzSPC:DMPC mixture was used for photochemically induced cross-linking experiments with a transmembrane peptide (WAL-peptide) to demonstrate the applicability of the azidolipids for the analysis of peptide/lipid interactions. The efficiency of photo-cross-linking was monitored by attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS).

Abstract
Nickel allergy is the most common cause of allergic reactions worldwide, with cutaneous and systemic effects potentially affecting multiple organs. Monocytes are precursors of not only macrophages but also dendritic cells, the most potent activators of nickel hypersensitivity. Monocytes are themselves important antigen-presenting cells, capable of nickel-specific T-cell activation in vivo and in vitro, in addition to being important for immediate innate immune inflammation. To elucidate early Ni2+-dependent inflammatory molecular mechanisms in human monocytes, a Ni2+-specific proteomic approach was applied. Quantitative two-dimensional (2D) differential gel electrophoresis and Delta2D software analyses coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) revealed that Ni2+ significantly regulated 56 protein species, of which 36 were analyzed by MALDI-MS. Bioinformatics analyses of all identified proteins resulted in Ni2+-associated functional annotation clusters, such as cell death, metal ion binding, and cytoskeletal remodeling. The involvement of Ni2+ in the induction of monocyte cell death, but not T-cell death, was observed at Ni2+ concentrations at or above 250 μM. Examination of caspase activity during Ni2+-mediated cell death revealed monocytic cell death independent of caspase-3 and -7 activity. However, confocal microscopy analysis demonstrated Ni2+-triggered cytoskeletal remodeling and nuclear condensation, characteristic of cellular apoptosis. Thus, Ni2+-specific peripheral blood mononuclear cell stimulation suggests monocytic cell death at Ni2+ concentrations at or above 250 μM, and monocytic effects on immune regulation at lower Ni2+ concentrations.

Abstract
Streptococcus sanguinis is a commensal and early colonizer of oral cavity as well as an opportunistic pathogen of infectious endocarditis. Extracting the soluble proteome of this bacterium provides deep insights about the physiological dynamic changes under different growth and stress conditions, thus defining "proteomic signatures" as targets for therapeutic intervention. In this protocol, we describe an experimentally verified approach to extract maximal cytoplasmic proteins from Streptococcus sanguinis SK36 strain. A combination of procedures was adopted that broke the thick cell wall barrier and minimized denaturation of the intracellular proteome, using optimized buffers and a sonication step. Extracted proteome was quantitated using Pierce BCA Protein Quantitation assay and protein bands were macroscopically assessed by Coomassie Blue staining. Finally, a high resolution detection of the extracted proteins was conducted through Synapt G2Si mass spectrometer, followed by label-free relative quantification via Progenesis QI. In conclusion, this pipeline for proteomic extraction and analysis of soluble proteins provides a fundamental tool in deciphering the biological complexity of Streptococcus sanguinis.

Abstract
The oral environment contains diverse communities of micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Studies of oral ecology have led to an appreciation of the complexity of the interactions that oral micro-organisms have with the host in both health and disease. Despite this, diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases are still worldwide human ailments, resulting in a high level of morbidity and an economic burden to society. Proteomics offers a new approach to the understanding of holistic changes occurring as oral micro-organisms adapt to environmental change within their habitats in the mouth.

Abstract
We have studied the translational migration of a monotopic membrane protein, the bacterial sulfide quinone reductase (SQR) in supported n-bilayers ([Formula: see text]) under the influence of an electric field parallel to the membrane plane. The direction of the migration changes when the charge of the protein changes its sign. Measuring mobilities at different pH enables us to gain experimental physico-chemical data on SQR as its isoelectric point and its estimated oligomeric state (at least trimeric) when inserted in a lipid membrane. Consequently, in addition to the migration study of membrane proteins in a lipid environment, this experimental system, previously used with a transmembrane protein, is thus suitable to define membrane protein properties in conditions approaching the native ones (in the absence of detergent).

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represents one of the most common target proteins in anti-cancer therapy. To directly examine the structural and dynamical properties of EGFR activation by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in native membranes, we have developed a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR)-based approach supported by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In contrast to previous crystallographic results, our experiments show that the ligand-free state of the extracellular domain (ECD) is highly dynamic, while the intracellular kinase domain (KD) is rigid. Ligand binding restricts the overall and local motion of EGFR domains, including the ECD and the C-terminal region. We propose that the reduction in conformational entropy of the ECD by ligand binding favors the cooperative binding required for receptor dimerization, causing allosteric activation of the intracellular tyrosine kinase.
