Lacey SE, Graziadei A, Pigino G. Extensive structural rearrangement of intraflagellar transport trains underpins bidirectional cargo transport. Cell 2024:S0092-8674(24)00715-3.

Abstract
Bidirectional transport in cilia is carried out by polymers of the IFTA and IFTB protein complexes, called anterograde and retrograde intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains. Anterograde trains deliver cargoes from the cell to the cilium tip, then convert into retrograde trains for cargo export. We set out to understand how the IFT complexes can perform these two directly opposing roles before and after conversion. We use cryoelectron tomography and in situ cross-linking mass spectrometry to determine the structure of retrograde IFT trains and compare it with the known structure of anterograde trains. The retrograde train is a 2-fold symmetric polymer organized around a central thread of IFTA complexes. We conclude that anterograde-to-retrograde remodeling involves global rearrangements of the IFTA/B complexes and requires complete disassembly of the anterograde train. Finally, we describe how conformational changes to cargo-binding sites facilitate unidirectional cargo transport in a bidirectional system.

Pathological mutations promote proteolysis of mitochondrial tRNA-specific 2-thiouridylase 1 (MTU1) via mitochondrial caseinolytic peptidase (CLPP). Nucleic Acids Res 2024; 52:1341-1358. [PMID: 38113276 PMCID: PMC10853782 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkad1197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
MTU1 controls intramitochondrial protein synthesis by catalyzing the 2-thiouridine modification of mitochondrial transfer RNAs (mt-tRNAs). Missense mutations in the MTU1 gene are associated with life-threatening reversible infantile hepatic failure. However, the molecular pathogenesis is not well understood. Here, we investigated 17 mutations associated with this disease, and our results showed that most disease-related mutations are partial loss-of-function mutations, with three mutations being particularly severe. Mutant MTU1 is rapidly degraded by mitochondrial caseinolytic peptidase (CLPP) through a direct interaction with its chaperone protein CLPX. Notably, knockdown of CLPP significantly increased mutant MTU1 protein expression and mt-tRNA 2-thiolation, suggesting that accelerated proteolysis of mutant MTU1 plays a role in disease pathogenesis. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that disease-associated mutations may lead to abnormal intermolecular interactions, thereby impairing MTU1 enzyme activity. Finally, clinical data analysis underscores a significant correlation between patient prognosis and residual 2-thiolation levels, which is partially consistent with the AlphaMissense predictions. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of MTU1-related diseases, offering prospects for modification-based diagnostics and novel therapeutic strategies centered on targeting CLPP.

Abstract
Cross-linking mass spectrometry has become an established technology to provide structural information on the topology and dynamics of protein complexes. Readily accessible workflows can provide detailed data on simplified systems, such as purified complexes. However, using this technology to study the structure of protein complexes in situ, such as in organelles, cells, and even tissues, is still a technological frontier. The complexity of these systems remains a considerable challenge, but there have been dramatic improvements in sample handling, data acquisition, and data processing. Here, we summarise these developments and describe the paths towards comprehensive and comparative structural interactomes by cross-linking mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Protein homeostasis is tightly regulated by protein quality control systems such as chaperones and proteases. In cyanobacteria, the ClpXP proteolytic complex is regarded as a representative proteolytic system and consists of a hexameric ATPase ClpX and a tetradecameric peptidase ClpP. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms of ClpX in cyanobacteria remain unclear. This study aimed to decipher the unique contributions and regulatory networks of ClpX in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (hereafter Synechocystis). We showed that the interruption of clpX led to slower growth, decreased high light tolerance, and impaired photosynthetic cyclic electron transfer. A quantitative proteomic strategy was employed to globally identify ClpX-regulated proteins in Synechocystis cells. In total, we identified 172 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) upon the interruption of clpX. Functional analysis revealed that these DEPs are involved in diverse biological processes, including glycolysis, nitrogen assimilation, photosynthetic electron transport, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and two-component signal transduction. The expression of 24 DEPs was confirmed by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis. In particular, many hypothetical or unknown proteins were found to be regulated by ClpX, providing new candidates for future functional studies on ClpX. Together, our study provides a comprehensive ClpX-regulated protein network, and the results serve as an important resource for understanding protein quality control systems in cyanobacteria.

Abstract
Objective Bile and its individual components, mainly bile acids, are important for digestion and drive bacterial community dynamics in the upper gastrointestinal tract of chickens. However, specific responses to bile acids have been characterized in only a few commensal bacteria, and it is unclear how other members of the microbiota respond to biliary stress. Here, we used label-free LC–MS/MS to assess the proteomic response of a common inhabitant of the chicken small intestine, Turicibacter bilis MMM721, to 24 h of growth in anaerobic growth media supplemented with 0.1% whole chicken bile, 0.1% taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA), or 0.1% taurocholic acid (TCA). Results Seventy, 46, and 10 differentially expressed proteins were identified in Turicibacter bilis MMM721 cultured with supplements of chicken bile, TCDCA, and TCA, respectively, when compared to unsupplemented controls. Many differentially expressed proteins were predicted to be involved in ribosomal processes, post-translational modifications and chaperones, and modifications to the cell surface. Ultimately, the T. bilis MMM721 response to whole bile and bile acids is complex and may relate to adaptations for small intestine colonization, with numerous proteins from a variety of functional categories being impacted.

Eukaryotic catecholamine hormones influence the chemotactic control of Vibrio campbellii by binding to the coupling protein CheW. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2118227119.

Abstract
Host-emitted stress hormones significantly influence the growth and behavior of various bacterial species; however, their cellular targets have so far remained elusive. Here, we used customized probes and quantitative proteomics to identify the target of epinephrine and the α-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine in live cells of the aquatic pathogen Vibrio campbellii. Consequently, we have discovered the coupling protein CheW, which is in the center of the chemotaxis signaling network, as a target of both molecules. We not only demonstrate direct ligand binding to CheW but also elucidate how this affects chemotactic control. These findings are pivotal for further research on hormone-specific effects on bacterial behavior. In addition to their well-known role as stress-associated catecholamine hormones in animals and humans, epinephrine (EPI) and norepinephrine (NE) act as interkingdom signals between eukaryotic hosts and bacteria. However, the molecular basis of their effects on bacteria is not well understood. In initial phenotypic studies utilizing Vibrio campbellii as a model organism, we characterized the bipartite mode of action of catecholamines, which consists of promotion of growth under iron limitation and enhanced colony expansion on soft agar. In order to identify the molecular targets of the hormones, we designed and synthesized tailored probes for chemical proteomic studies. As the catechol group in EPI and NE acts as an iron chelator and is prone to form a reactive quinone moiety, we devised a photoprobe based on the adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PE), which solely influenced colony expansion. Using this probe, we identified CheW, located at the core of the chemotaxis signaling network, as a major target. In vitro studies confirmed that EPI, NE, PE, and labetalol, a clinically applied antagonist, bind to purified CheW with affinity constants in the submicromolar range. In line with these findings, exposure of V. campbellii to these adrenergic agonists affects the chemotactic control of the bacterium. This study highlights an effect of eukaryotic signaling molecules on bacterial motility.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes exhibits two ClpP isoforms (ClpP1/ClpP2) which assemble into a heterooligomeric complex with enhanced proteolytic activity. Herein, we demonstrate that the formation of this complex depends on temperature and reaches a maximum ratio of about 1 : 1 at 30 °C, while almost no complex formation occurred below 4 °C. In order to decipher the role of the two isoforms at elevated temperatures, we constructed L. monocytogenes ClpP1, ClpP2 and ClpP1/2 knockout strains and analyzed their protein regulation in comparison to the wild type (WT) strain via whole proteome mass-spectrometry (MS) at 37 °C and 42 °C. While the ΔclpP1 strain only altered the expression of very few proteins, the ΔclpP2 and ΔclpP1/2 strains revealed the dysregulation of many proteins at both temperatures. These effects were corroborated by crosslinking co-immunoprecipitation MS analysis. Thus, while ClpP1 serves as a mere enhancer of protein degradation in the heterocomplex, ClpP2 is essential for ClpX binding and functions as a gatekeeper for substrate entry. Applying an integrated proteomic approach combining whole proteome and co-immunoprecipitation datasets, several putative ClpP2 substrates were identified in the context of different temperatures and discussed with regards to their function in cellular pathways such as the SOS response. Unlike most bacteria, L. monocytogenes encodes 2 isoforms of Caseinolytic Protease P. Balogh et al. show that both proteins form a heterocomplex temperature-dependently and find protein substrate candidates with an integrated proteomic approach.![]()

Abstract
Approaches for profiling protease substrates are critical for defining protease functions, but remain challenging tasks. We combine genetic code expansion, photocrosslinking and proteomics to identify substrates of the mitochondrial (mt) human caseinolytic protease P (hClpP). Site‐specific incorporation of the diazirine‐bearing amino acid DiazK into the inner proteolytic chamber of hClpP, followed by UV‐irradiation of cells, allows to covalently trap substrate proteins of hClpP and to substantiate hClpP's major involvement in maintaining overall mt homeostasis. In addition to confirming many of the previously annotated hClpP substrates, our approach adds a diverse set of new proteins to the hClpP interactome. Importantly, our workflow allows identifying substrate dynamics upon application of external cues in an unbiased manner. Identification of unique hClpP‐substrate proteins upon induction of mt oxidative stress, suggests that hClpP counteracts oxidative stress by processing of proteins that are involved in respiratory chain complex synthesis and maturation as well as in catabolic pathways.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become one of the key technologies of structural biology. In this review, the contributions of chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) for studying three-dimensional structures of proteins and for investigating protein-protein interactions are outlined. We summarize the most important cross-linking reagents, software tools, and XL-MS workflows and highlight prominent examples for characterizing proteins, their assemblies, and interaction networks in vitro and in vivo. Computational modeling plays a crucial role in deriving 3D-structural information from XL-MS data. Integrating XL-MS with other techniques of structural biology, such as cryo-electron microscopy, has been successful in addressing biological questions that to date could not be answered. XL-MS is therefore expected to play an increasingly important role in structural biology in the future.

Abstract
Protein interactions underlie most molecular events in biology. Many methods have been developed to identify protein partners, to measure the affinity with which these biomolecules interact and to characterise the structures of the complexes. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations, and it can be difficult for the newcomer to determine which methodology would best suit their system. This review provides an overview of many of the techniques most widely used to identify protein partners, assess stoichiometry and binding affinity, and determine low-resolution models for complexes. Key methods covered include: yeast two-hybrid analysis, affinity purification mass spectrometry and proximity labelling to identify partners; size-exclusion chromatography, scattering methods, native mass spectrometry and analytical ultracentrifugation to estimate stoichiometry; isothermal titration calorimetry, biosensors and fluorometric methods (including microscale thermophoresis, anisotropy/polarisation, resonance energy transfer, AlphaScreen, and differential scanning fluorimetry) to measure binding affinity; and crosslinking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to probe the structure of complexes.

Abstract
Despite being considered the simplest form of life, bacteria remain enigmatic, particularly in light of pathogenesis and evolving antimicrobial resistance. After three decades of genomics, we remain some way from understanding these organisms, and a substantial proportion of genes remain functionally unknown. Methodological advances, principally mass spectrometry (MS), are paving the way for parallel analysis of the proteome, metabolome and lipidome. Each provides a global, complementary assay, in addition to genomics, and the ability to better comprehend how pathogens respond to changes in their internal (e.g. mutation) and external environments consistent with infection-like conditions. Such responses include accessing necessary nutrients for survival in a hostile environment where co-colonizing bacteria and normal flora are acclimated to the prevailing conditions. Multi-omics can be harnessed across temporal and spatial (sub-cellular) dimensions to understand adaptation at the molecular level. Gene deletion libraries, in conjunction with large-scale approaches and evolving bioinformatics integration, will greatly facilitate next-generation vaccines and antimicrobial interventions by highlighting novel targets and pathogen-specific pathways. MS is also central in phenotypic characterization of surface biomolecules such as lipid A, as well as aiding in the determination of protein interactions and complexes. There is increasing evidence that bacteria are capable of widespread post-translational modification, including phosphorylation, glycosylation and acetylation; with each contributing to virulence. This review focuses on the bacterial genotype to phenotype transition and surveys the recent literature showing how the genome can be validated at the proteome, metabolome and lipidome levels to provide an integrated view of organism response to host conditions.

The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDHc) is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and represents one of the major regulators of mitochondrial metabolism through NADH and reactive oxygen species levels. The OGDHc impacts cell metabolic and cell signaling pathways through the coupling of 2-oxoglutarate metabolism to gene transcription related to tumor cell proliferation and aging. DHTKD1 is a gene encoding 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase (E1a), which functions in the L-lysine degradation pathway. The potentially damaging variants in DHTKD1 have been associated to the (neuro) pathogenesis of several diseases. Evidence was obtained for the formation of a hybrid complex between the OGDHc and E1a, suggesting a potential cross talk between the two metabolic pathways and raising fundamental questions about their assembly. Here we reviewed the recent findings and advances in understanding of protein-protein interactions in OGDHc and 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex (OADHc), an understanding that will create a scaffold to help design approaches to mitigate the effects of diseases associated with dysfunction of the TCA cycle or lysine degradation. A combination of biochemical, biophysical and structural approaches such as chemical cross-linking MS and cryo-EM appears particularly promising to provide vital information for the assembly of 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes, their function and regulation.

Abstract
Functional Proteomics aims to the identification of in vivo protein-protein interaction (PPI) in order to piece together protein complexes, and therefore, cell pathways involved in biological processes of interest. Over the years, proteomic approaches used for protein-protein interaction investigation have relied on classical biochemical protocols adapted to a global overview of protein-protein interactions, within so-called "interactomics" investigation. In particular, their coupling with advanced mass spectrometry instruments and innovative analytical methods led to make great strides in the PPIs investigation in proteomics. In this review, an overview of protein complexes purification strategies, from affinity purification approaches, including proximity-dependent labeling techniques and cross-linking strategy for the identification of transient interactions, to Blue Native Gel Electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) employed in the "complexome profiling", has been reported, giving a look to their developments, strengths and weakness and providing to readers several recent applications of each strategy. Moreover, a section dedicated to bioinformatic databases and platforms employed for protein networks analyses was also included.

Abstract
The mammalian mitochondrial proteome consists of more than 1100 annotated proteins and their proteostasis is regulated by only a few ATP-dependent protease complexes. Technical advances in protein mass spectrometry allowed for detailed description of the mitoproteome from different species and tissues and their changes under specific conditions. However, protease-substrate relations within mitochondria are still poorly understood. Here, we combined Terminal Amine Isotope Labeling of Substrates (TAILS) N termini profiling of heart mitochondria proteomes isolated from wild type and Clpp-/- mice with a classical substrate-trapping screen using FLAG-tagged proteolytically active and inactive CLPP variants to identify new ClpXP substrates in mammalian mitochondria. Using TAILS, we identified N termini of more than 200 mitochondrial proteins. Expected N termini confirmed sequence determinants for mitochondrial targeting signal (MTS) cleavage and subsequent N-terminal processing after import, but the majority were protease-generated neo-N termini mapping to positions within the proteins. Quantitative comparison revealed widespread changes in protein processing patterns, including both strong increases or decreases in the abundance of specific neo-N termini, as well as an overall increase in the abundance of protease-generated neo-N termini in CLPP-deficient mitochondria that indicated altered mitochondrial proteostasis. Based on the combination of altered processing patterns, protein accumulation and stabilization in CLPP-deficient mice and interaction with CLPP, we identified OAT, HSPA9 and POLDIP2 and as novel bona fide ClpXP substrates. Finally, we propose that ClpXP participates in the cooperative degradation of UQCRC1. Together, our data provide the first landscape of the heart mitochondria N terminome and give further insights into regulatory and assisted proteolysis mediated by ClpXP.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play a vital role in nearly all cellular functions. Hence, understanding their interaction patterns and three-dimensional structural conformations can provide crucial insights about various biological processes and underlying molecular mechanisms for many disease phenotypes. Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has the unique capability to detect protein-protein interactions at a large scale along with spatial constraints between interaction partners. The inception of MS-cleavable cross-linkers enabled the MS2-MS3 XL-MS acquisition strategy that provides cross-link information from both MS2 and MS3 level. However, the current cross-link search algorithm available for MS2-MS3 strategy follows a "MS2-centric" approach and suffers from a high rate of mis-identified cross-links. We demonstrate the problem using two new quality assessment metrics ["fraction of mis-identifications" (FMI) and "fraction of interprotein cross-links from known interactions" (FKI)]. We then address this problem, by designing a novel "MS3-centric" approach for cross-link identification and implementing it as a search engine named MaXLinker. MaXLinker outperforms the currently popular search engine with a lower mis-identification rate, and higher sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, we performed human proteome-wide cross-linking mass spectrometry using K562 cells. Employing MaXLinker, we identified a comprehensive set of 9319 unique cross-links at 1% false discovery rate, comprising 8051 intraprotein and 1268 interprotein cross-links. Finally, we experimentally validated the quality of a large number of novel interactions identified in our study, providing a conclusive evidence for MaXLinker's robust performance.

Abstract
Functions of intrinsically disordered proteins do not require structure. Such structure-independent functionality has melted away the classic rigid "lock and key" representation of structure-function relationships in proteins, opening a new page in protein science, where molten keys operate on melted locks and where conformational flexibility and intrinsic disorder, structural plasticity and extreme malleability, multifunctionality and binding promiscuity represent a new-fangled reality. Analysis and understanding of this new reality require novel tools, and some of the techniques elaborated for the examination of intrinsically disordered protein functions are outlined in this review.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins represents an important cellular mechanism for controlling diverse functions such as signalling, localisation or protein–protein interactions. AMPylation (also termed adenylylation) has recently been discovered as a prevalent PTM for regulating protein activity. In human cells AMPylation has been exclusively studied with the FICD protein. Here we investigate the role of AMPylation in human neurogenesis by introducing a cell-permeable propargyl adenosine pronucleotide probe to infiltrate cellular AMPylation pathways and report distinct modifications in intact cancer cell lines, human-derived stem cells, neural progenitor cells (NPCs), neurons and cerebral organoids (COs) via LC–MS/MS as well as imaging methods. A total of 162 AMP modified proteins were identified. FICD-dependent AMPylation remodelling accelerates differentiation of neural progenitor cells into mature neurons in COs, demonstrating a so far unknown trigger of human neurogenesis. Protein AMPylation is a post-translational modification whose implications in cellular physiology are not fully understood. Here the authors develop a cell-permeable AMPylation probe and use it to identify new AMP modified proteins and investigate the role of FICD in neuronal differentiation using cerebral organoids.

Abstract
![]()
The pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-binding protein (PLPBP)
is an
evolutionarily conserved protein linked to pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-binding.
Although mutations in PLPBP were shown to cause vitamin B6-dependent
epilepsy, its cellular role and function remain elusive. We here report
a detailed biochemical investigation of human PLPBP and its epilepsy-causing
mutants by evaluating stability, cofactor binding, and oligomerization.
In this context, chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry
unraveled an unexpected dimeric assembly of PLPBP. Furthermore, the
interaction network of PLPBP was elucidated by chemical cross-linking
paired with co-immunoprecipitation. A mass spectrometric analysis
in a PLPBP knockout cell line resulted in distinct proteomic changes
compared to wild type cells, including upregulation of several cytoskeleton-
and cell division-associated proteins. Finally, transfection experiments
with vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy-causing PLPBP variants indicate
a potential role of PLPBP in cell division as well as proper muscle
function. Taken together, our studies on the structure and cellular
role of human PLPBP enable a better understanding of the physiological
and pathological mechanism of this important protein.

Abstract
Novel targets are needed for treatment of devastating diseases such as cancer. For decades, natural products have guided innovative therapies by addressing diverse pathways. Inspired by the potent cytotoxic bioactivity of myxobacterial vioprolides A–D, we performed in‐depth studies on their mode of action. Based on its prominent potency against human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells, we conducted thermal proteome profiling (TPP) and deciphered the target proteins of the most active derivative vioprolide A (VioA) in Jurkat cells. Nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14), which is essential in ribosome biogenesis, was confirmed as a specific target of VioA by a suite of proteomic and biological follow‐up experiments. Given its activity against ALL cells compared to healthy lymphocytes, VioA exhibits unique therapeutic potential for anticancer therapy through a novel mode of action.

Abstract
The ClpXP machinery is a two component protease complex performing
targeted protein degradation in bacteria and mitochondria. The complex consists
of the AAA+ chaperone ClpX and the peptidase ClpP. The hexameric ClpX utilizes
the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to engage, unfold and translocate
substrates into the catalytic chamber of tetradecameric ClpP where they are
degraded. Formation of the complex involves a symmetry mismatch, since hexameric
AAA+ rings bind axially to the opposing stacked heptameric rings of the
tetradecameric ClpP. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of ClpXP from
Listeria monocytogenes. We unravel the heptamer-hexamer
binding interface and provide novel insights into the ClpX-ClpP crosstalk and
activation mechanism. The comparison with available crystal structures of ClpP
and ClpX in different states allows us to understand important aspects of
ClpXP’s complex mode of action and provides a structural framework for
future pharmacological applications.

Abstract
The natural product neocarzilin A (NCA) was discovered decades ago, and despite its potent cytotoxic effects no mode of action studies have been performed up to date. Synthesis of neocarzilins A, B, and C and a stereoisomer of NCA provided insights into structural preferences as well as access to probes for functional studies. NCA turned out to be the most active member and was not only effective against cell proliferation but also migration, a novel and so far overlooked activity. To decipher the molecular mode of action, we applied chemical proteomics for target discovery and revealed that NCA targets cancer cell migration via irreversible binding to the largely uncharacterized synaptic vesicle membrane protein VAT-1. A corresponding knockout of the protein confirmed the phenotype, and pull-down studies showed the interaction with an intricate network of key migration mediators such as Talin-1. Overall, we introduce VAT-1 as a promising novel target for the development of selective migration inhibitors with the perspective to limit toxicity in the absence of antiproliferative effects.

Abstract
The development of synthetic biology calls for accurate understanding of the critical functions that allow construction and operation of a living cell. Besides coding for ubiquitous structures, minimal genomes encode a wealth of functions that dissipate energy in an unanticipated way. Analysis of these functions shows that they are meant to manage information under conditions when discrimination of substrates in a noisy background is preferred over a simple recognition process. We show here that many of these functions, including transporters and the ribosome construction machinery, behave as would behave a material implementation of the information-managing agent theorized by Maxwell almost 150 years ago and commonly known as Maxwell's demon (MxD). A core gene set encoding these functions belongs to the minimal genome required to allow the construction of an autonomous cell. These MxDs allow the cell to perform computations in an energy-efficient way that is vastly better than our contemporary computers.
