Structure-function relationship study for sulfated protein therapeutics using hydrophobic interaction chromatography and mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1233:123981. [PMID: 38184885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Protein tyrosine sulfation is a post-translational modification (PTM) that is rarely reported in recombinant therapeutic proteins. However, when sulfation does occur, the additional negative charge from the modification can influence intermolecular interactions and antigen-binding activity, making it a critical quality attribute that necessitates stringent control. In this study, we developed a unique hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) method for the separation and quantification of a therapeutic bispecific antibody with varying degrees of sulfation. Despite the increased surface hydrophilicity of sulfated species, the HIC method provides enhanced retention. Baseline resolution was attained based on the degree of sulfation, independent of other PTMs such as C-terminal amidation and forced deamidation. Further structure-function relationship studies of enriched sulfated bispecific antibody species were conducted using mass spectrometry and fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (FLISA). These studies revealed that the tyrosine sulfation modification, which occurs in the complementarity-determining region (CDR), is a critical quality attribute and can adversely impact the antibody's binding to its cognate antigen. The evaluation of sulfation assay using HIC method confirmed it is an effective means for controlling this critical quality attribute.

Abstract
In bottom-up proteomics, the complexity of the proteome requires advanced peptide separation and/or fractionation methods to acquire an in-depth understanding of protein profiles. Proposed earlier as a solution-phase ion manipulation device, liquid phase ion traps (LPITs) were used in front of mass spectrometers to accumulate target ions for improved detection sensitivity. In this work, an LPIT-reversed phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LPIT-RPLC-MS/MS) platform was established for deep bottom-up proteomics. LPIT was used here as a robust and effective method for peptide fractionation, which also shows good reproducibility and sensitivity on both qualitative and quantitative levels. LPIT separates peptides based on their effective charges and hydrodynamic radii, which is orthogonal to that of RPLC. With excellent orthogonality, the integration of LPIT with RPLC-MS/MS could effectively increase the number of peptides and proteins being detected. When HeLa cells were analyzed, peptide and protein coverages were increased by ∼89.2% and 50.3%, respectively. With high efficiency and low cost, this LPIT-based peptide fraction method could potentially be used in routine deep bottom-up proteomics.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Untargeted Approaches to Reveal Diagnostic Signatures of Male Infertility in Seminal Plasma: A New Laboratory Perspective for the Clinical Management of Infertility? Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054429.

Abstract
Male infertility has been recognized as a global health problem. Semen analysis, although considered the golden standard, may not provide a confident male infertility diagnosis alone. Hence, there is the urgent request for an innovative and reliable platform to detect biomarkers of infertility. The rapid expansion of mass spectrometry (MS) technology in the field of the 'omics' disciplines, has incredibly proved the great potential of MS-based diagnostic tests to revolutionize the future of pathology, microbiology and laboratory medicine. Despite the increasing success in the microbiology area, MS-biomarkers of male infertility currently remain a proteomic challenge. In order to address this issue, this review encompasses proteomics investigations by untargeted approaches with a special focus on experimental designs and strategies (bottom-up and top-down) for seminal fluid proteome profiling. The studies reported here witness the efforts of the scientific community to address these investigations aimed at the discovery of MS-biomarkers of male infertility. Proteomics untargeted approaches, depending on the study design, might provide a great plethora of biomarkers not only for a male infertility diagnosis, but also to address a new MS-biomarkers classification of infertility subtypes. From the early detection to the evaluation of infertility grade, new MS-derived biomarkers might also predict long-term outcomes and clinical management of infertility.

Abstract
Proteomics continues to forge significant strides in the discovery of essential biological processes, uncovering valuable information on the identity, global protein abundance, protein modifications, proteoform levels, and signal transduction pathways. Cancer is a complicated and heterogeneous disease, and the onset and progression involve multiple dysregulated proteoforms and their downstream signaling pathways. These are modulated by various factors such as molecular, genetic, tissue, cellular, ethnic/racial, socioeconomic status, environmental, and demographic differences that vary with time. The knowledge of cancer has improved the treatment and clinical management; however, the survival rates have not increased significantly, and cancer remains a major cause of mortality. Oncoproteomics studies help to develop and validate proteomics technologies for routine application in clinical laboratories for (1) diagnostic and prognostic categorization of cancer, (2) real-time monitoring of treatment, (3) assessing drug efficacy and toxicity, (4) therapeutic modulations based on the changes with prognosis and drug resistance, and (5) personalized medication. Investigation of tumor-specific proteomic profiles in conjunction with healthy controls provides crucial information in mechanistic studies on tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance. This review provides an overview of proteomics technologies that assist the discovery of novel drug targets, biomarkers for early detection, surveillance, prognosis, drug monitoring, and tailoring therapy to the cancer patient. The information gained from such technologies has drastically improved cancer research. We further provide exemplars from recent oncoproteomics applications in the discovery of biomarkers in various cancers, drug discovery, and clinical treatment. Overall, the future of oncoproteomics holds enormous potential for translating technologies from the bench to the bedside.

Abstract
During viral infection, both host and viral proteins undergo post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, methylation, and acetylation, which play critical roles in viral replication, pathogenesis, and host antiviral responses. Protein acetylation is one of the most important PTMs and is catalyzed by a series of acetyltransferases that divert acetyl groups from acetylated molecules to specific amino acid residues of substrates, affecting chromatin structure, transcription, and signal transduction, thereby participating in the cell cycle as well as in metabolic and other cellular processes. Acetylation of host and viral proteins has emerging roles in the processes of virus adsorption, invasion, synthesis, assembly, and release as well as in host antiviral responses. Methods to study protein acetylation have been gradually optimized in recent decades, providing new opportunities to investigate acetylation during viral infection. This review summarizes the classification of protein acetylation and the standard methods used to map this modification, with an emphasis on viral and host protein acetylation during viral infection.

Abstract
We report an integrated platform that enabled a seamlessly coupling miniaturized filter-aided sample preparation (MICROFASP) method to high-pH reversed phase (RP) or strong cation exchange (SCX) microreactors for low-loss sample preparation and fractionation of 1 μg of cell lysates prior to LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. Due to the reduced size of the microreactor, only 5 μL of buffer volume is required to generate each fraction, which speeds both elution and lyophilization. The fraction was directly eluted into an autosampler insert vial for LC-MS analysis to reduce sample transfer steps and minimize sample loss as well as contamination. The flow-through sample generated during the loading step was also collected and analyzed. The integrated platform generated 48,890 unique peptides and 4723 protein groups from 1 μg of a K562 cell lysate using MICROFASP and C18 microreactor-based high-pH RP fractionation methods, which are comparable with the state-of-the-art result using in-StageTip sample preparation and nanoflow RPLC-based fractionation methods but with a significant reduction in cost and time. Both pH gradient elution and salt gradient elution approaches provide high reproducibility for the SCX microreactor-based fractionation method. This integrated platform has significant potential in deep proteomics analysis of mass-limited samples with reduced time and equipment requirements.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) occur during or after protein biosynthesis and increase the functional diversity of proteome. They comprise phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation (among many other modifications), and influence all aspects of cell biology. Mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the most powerful approach for PTM analysis. Despite this, it is challenging due to low abundance and labile nature of many PTMs. Hence, enrichment of modified peptides is required for MS analysis. This review provides an overview of most common PTMs and a discussion of current enrichment methods for MS-based proteomics analysis. The traditional affinity strategies, including immunoenrichment, chromatography and protein pull-down, are outlined together with their strengths and shortcomings. Moreover, a special attention is paid to chemical enrichment strategies, such as capture by chemoselective probes, metabolic and chemoenzymatic labelling, which are discussed with an emphasis on their recent progress. Finally, the challenges and future trends in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Development of a peptide retention prediction model in reversed-phase chromatography is reported for acetylated peptides - both N-terminal (α-) and side chain of Lys (ε-amine) residues. Large-scale proteomic 2D LC-MS analyses of acetylated/non-acetylated tryptic digest of whole human cell lysate have been used to assemble representative retention data sets of 25,000+ modified/non-modified pairs. This allowed elucidating chromatographic behaviour of modified peptides in three different separation modes: high pH reversed-phase, HILIC separation on amide phase (first dimension of 2D) and reversed-phase separation with formic acid as ion-pairing modifier in the second dimension. On average, N-terminal acetylation increases peptide RP retention at acidic pH by 5 Hydrophobicity Index units (% acetonitrile). Acetylation of first lysine adds another 4.1%. The magnitude of the retention shift varies greatly depending on the number of modified amines, peptide length, and N-terminal peptide sequence. Large retention shifts have been observed for peptides with hydrophobic N-termini and specifically peptides carrying sequences characteristic for amphipathic helical structures - all in complete agreement with major sequence-specific features of RP retention mechanism. The utility of the modified Sequence Specific Retention Calculator model has been verified for the in-vivo N-terminally acetylated peptides detected by 2D LC-MS/MS analysis of a yeast tryptic digest. The effect of N-terminal acetylation was also evaluated for six different HILIC columns, strong cation- and strong anion exchange separations using previously acquired 2D LC-MS/MS data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein phosphorylation is a primary mechanism of signal transduction in cellular systems. Isobaric tagging can be used to investigate alterations in phosphorylation events in sample multiplexing experiments where quantification extends across all conditions. As such, innovations in tandem mass tag methods can facilitate the expansion of the depth and breadth of phosphoproteomic analyses. AREAS COVERED This review discusses the current state of tandem mass tag-centric phosphoproteomics and highlights advances in reagent chemistry, instrumentation, data acquisition, and data analysis. We stress that approaches for phosphoproteomic investigations require high-specificity enrichment, sensitive detection, and accurate phosphorylation site localization. EXPERT OPINION Tandem mass tag-centric phosphoproteomics will continue to be an important conduit for our understanding of signal transduction in living organisms. We anticipate that progress in phosphopeptide enrichment methodologies, enhancements in instrumentation and data acquisition technologies, and further refinements in analytical strategies will be key to the discovery of biologically relevant findings from phosphoproteomics studies.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) add a layer of complexity to the proteome through the addition of biochemical moieties to specific residues of proteins, altering their structure, function and/or localization. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques are at the forefront of PTM analysis due to their ability to detect large numbers of modified proteins with a high level of sensitivity and specificity. The low stoichiometry of modified peptides means fractionation and enrichment techniques are often performed prior to MS to improve detection yields. Immuno-based techniques remain popular, with improvements in the quality of commercially available modification-specific antibodies facilitating the detection of modified proteins with high affinity. PTM-focused studies on blood cancers have provided information on altered cellular processes, including cell signaling, apoptosis and transcriptional regulation, that contribute to the malignant phenotype. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of many blood cancer therapies, such as kinase inhibitors, involves inhibiting or modulating protein modifications. Continued optimization of protocols and techniques for PTM analysis in blood cancer will undoubtedly lead to novel insights into mechanisms of malignant transformation, proliferation, and survival, in addition to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This review discusses techniques used for PTM analysis and their applications in blood cancer research.

Abstract
Pituitary adenoma (PA) is a common intracranial neoplasm, which affects the hypothalamus-pituitary-target organ axis systems, and is hazardous to human health. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, nitration, and sumoylation, are vitally important in the PA pathogenesis. The large-scale analysis of PTMs could provide a global view of molecular mechanisms for PA. Proteoforms, which are used to define various protein structural and functional forms originated from the same gene, are the future direction of proteomics research. The global studies of different proteoforms and PTMs of hypophyseal hormones such as growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) and the proportion change of different GH proteoforms or PRL proteoforms in human pituitary tissue could provide new insights into the clinical value of pituitary hormones in PAs. Multiple quantitative proteomics methods, including mass spectrometry (MS)-based label-free and stable isotope-labeled strategies in combination with different PTM-peptide enrichment methods such as TiO2 enrichment of tryptic phosphopeptides and antibody enrichment of other PTM-peptides increase the feasibility for researchers to study PA proteomes. This article reviews the research status of PTMs and proteoforms in PAs, including the enrichment method, technical limitation, quantitative proteomics strategies, and the future perspectives, to achieve the goals of in-depth understanding its molecular pathogenesis, and discovering effective biomarkers and clinical therapeutic targets for predictive, preventive, and personalized treatment of PA patients.

Abstract
Plasma membranes (PMs) act as primary cellular checkpoints for sensing signals and controlling solute transport. Membrane proteins communicate with intracellular processes through protein interaction networks. Deciphering these signaling networks provides crucial information for elucidating in vivo cellular regulation. Large-scale proteomics enables system-wide characterization of the membrane proteome, identification of ligand-receptor pairs, and elucidation of signals originating at membranes. In this review we assess recent progress in the development of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic pipelines for determining membrane signaling pathways. We focus in particular on current techniques for the analysis of membrane protein phosphorylation and interaction, and how these proteins may be connected to downstream changes in gene expression, metabolism, and physiology.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:2491-2501. [PMID: 31286442 PMCID: PMC6917886 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-019-02230-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2019] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Simultaneous enrichment of glyco- and phosphopeptides will benefit the studies of biological processes regulated by these posttranslational modifications (PTMs). It will also reveal potential crosstalk between these two ubiquitous PTMs. Unlike custom-designed multifunctional solid phase extraction (SPE) materials, operating strong anion exchange (SAX) resin in electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) mode provides a readily available strategy to analytical labs for enrichment of these PTMs for subsequent mass spectrometry (MS)-based characterization. However, the choice of mobile phase has largely relied on empirical rules from hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) or ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) without further optimization and adjustments. In this study, ten mobile phase compositions of ERLIC were systematically compared; the impact of multiple factors including organic phase proportion, ion pairing reagent, pH, and salt on the retention of glycosylated and phosphorylated peptides was evaluated. This study demonstrated good enrichment of glyco- and phosphopeptides from the nonmodified peptides in a complex tryptic digest. Moreover, the enriched glyco- and phosphopeptides elute in different fractions by orthogonal retention mechanisms of hydrophilic interaction and electrostatic interaction in ERLIC, maximizing the LC-MS identification of each PTM. The optimized mobile phase can be adapted to the ERLIC HPLC system, where the high resolution in separating multiple PTMs will benefit large-scale MS-based PTM profiling and in-depth characterization.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry has been instrumental in enabling the study of molecular signaling on a cellular scale by way of site-specific quantification of protein post-translational modifications, in particular phosphorylation. Here we describe an updated tandem metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC) combined phosphoprotein/phosphopeptide enrichment strategy, a scalable phosphoproteomics approach that allows rapid identification of thousands of phosphopeptides in plant materials. We implemented modifications to several steps of the original tandem MOAC procedure to increase the amount of quantified phosphopeptides and hence site-specific phosphorylation of proteins in a sample beginning with the less amounts of tissue and a substantially smaller amount of extracted protein. We applied this technology to generate time-resolved maps of boron signaling in Arabidopsis roots. We show that the successive enrichment of phosphoproteins in a first and phosphopeptide extraction in a second step using our optimized procedure strongly enriched the root phosphoproteome. Our results reveal that boron deficiency affects over 20% of the measured root phosphoproteome and that many phosphorylation sites with known biological function, and an even larger number of previously undescribed sites, are modified during the time course of boron deficiency. We identify transcription factors as key regulators of hormone signaling pathways that modulate gene expression in boron deprived plants. Furthermore, our phosphorylation kinetics data demonstrate that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades mediate polarized transport of boron in Arabidopsis roots. Taken together, we establish and validate a robust approach for proteome-wide phosphorylation analysis in plant biology research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acetylation is a widely occurring post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins that plays a crucial role in many cellular physiological and pathological processes. Over the last decade, acetylation analyses required the development of multiple methods to target individual acetylated proteins, as well as to cover a broader description of acetylated proteins that comprise the acetylome. Areas covered: This review discusses the different types of acetylation (N-ter/K-/O-acetylation) and then describes some major strategies that have been reported in the literature to detect, enrich, identify and quantify protein acetylation. The review highlights the advantages and limitations of these strategies, to guide researchers in designing their experimental investigations and analysis of protein acetylation. Finally, this review highlights the main applications of acetylomics (proteomics based on mass spectrometry) for understanding physiological and pathological conditions. Expert opinion: Recent advances in acetylomics have enhanced knowledge of the biological and pathological roles of protein acetylation and the acetylome. Besides, radiolabeling and western blotting remain also techniques-of-choice for targeted protein acetylation. Future challenges in acetylomics to analyze the N-ter and K-acetylome will most likely require enrichment/fractionation, MS instrumentation and bioinformatics. Challenges also remain to identify the potential biological roles of O-acetylation and cross-talk with other PTMs.

Abstract
Advancements in chromatographic separation are critical to in-depth top-down proteomics of complex intact protein samples. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography is the most prevalent technique for top-down proteomics. However, in cases of high complexities and large dynamic ranges, 1D-RPLC may not provide sufficient coverage of the proteome. To address these challenges, orthogonal separation techniques are often combined to improve the coverage and the dynamic range of detection. In this study, a "salt-free" high-pH RPLC was evaluated as an orthogonal dimension of separation to conventional low-pH RPLC with top-down MS. The RPLC separations with low-pH conditions (pH=2) and high-pH conditions (pH=10) were compared to confirm the good orthogonality between high-pH and low-pH RPLC's. The offline 2D RPLC-RPLC-MS/MS analyses of intact E. coli samples were evaluated for the improvement of intact protein identifications as well as intact proteoform characterizations. Compared to the 163 proteins and 328 proteoforms identified using a 1D RPLC-MS approach, 365 proteins and 886 proteoforms were identified using the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down MS approach. Our results demonstrate that the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down approach holds great potential for in-depth top-down proteomics studies by utilizing the high resolving power of RPLC separations and by using mass spectrometry compatible buffers for easy sample handling for online MS analysis.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based large scale phosphoproteomics has facilitated the investigation of plant phosphorylation dynamics on a system-wide scale. However, generating large scale data sets for membrane phosphoproteins usually requires fractionation of samples and extended hands-on laboratory time. To overcome these limitations, we developed "ShortPhos," an efficient and simple phosphoproteomics protocol optimized for research on plant membrane proteins. The optimized workflow allows fast and efficient identification and quantification of phosphopeptides, even from small amounts of starting plant materials. "ShortPhos" can produce label-free datasets with a high quantitative reproducibility. In addition, the "ShortPhos" protocol recovered more phosphorylation sites from membrane proteins, especially plasma membrane and vacuolar proteins, when compared to our previous workflow and other membrane-based data in the PhosPhAt 4.0 database. We applied "ShortPhos" to study kinase-substrate relationships within a nitrate-induction experiment on Arabidopsis roots. The "ShortPhos" identified significantly more known kinase-substrate relationships compared to previous phosphoproteomics workflows, producing new insights into nitrate-induced signaling pathways.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics using high-resolution and accuracy mass spectrometry promises to transform our understanding of biological systems and disease. Recent development of parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) using hybrid instruments substantially improved the specificity of targeted mass spectrometry. Combined with high-efficiency ion trapping, this approach also provided significant improvements in sensitivity. Here, we investigated the effects of ion isolation and accumulation on the sensitivity and quantitative accuracy of targeted proteomics using the recently developed hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap-linear ion trap mass spectrometer. We leveraged ultrahigh efficiency nano-electrospray ionization under optimized conditions to achieve yoctomolar sensitivity with more than seven orders of linear quantitative accuracy. To enable sensitive and specific targeted mass spectrometry, we implemented an automated, two-dimensional (2D) ion exchange-reversed phase nanoscale chromatography system. We found that automated 2D chromatography improved the sensitivity and accuracy of both PRM and an intact precursor scanning mass spectrometry method, termed accumulated ion monitoring (AIM), by more than 100-fold. Combined with automated 2D nano-scale chromatography, AIM achieved subattomolar limits of detection of endogenous proteins in complex biological proteomes. This allowed quantitation of absolute abundance of the human transcription factor MEF2C at ∼100 molecules/cell, and determination of its phosphorylation stoichiometry from as little as 1 μg of extracts isolated from 10,000 human cells. The combination of automated multidimensional nano-scale chromatography and targeted mass spectrometry should enable ultrasensitive high-accuracy quantitative proteomics of complex biological systems and diseases.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous materials have become a key feature of biological materials and have been widely applied for adsorption or catalysis. Herein, we presented a new approach to directly prepare a phosphate-functionalized hierarchically porous hybrid monolith (HPHM), which simultaneously contained mesopores and macropores. The design was based on the copolymerization of polyhedral oligomeric vinylsilsesquioxanes (vinylPOSS) and vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) by adding degradable polycaprolactone (PCL) additive. The phosphate groups could be directly introduced into the hybrid monoliths. This approach was simple and time-saving, and overcame the defect of a rigorous, complex process for preparing traditional Ti4+-immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) materials. The specific surface area of an optimal hybrid monolith could reach 502 m2/g obtained by nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements, which originated from the degradation of PCL. Meanwhile, the characterization of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) also suggested that the macropores existed in the hybrid monoliths. The size of macropores could be controlled by the content of PCL in the polymerization mixture. The prepared Ti4+-IMAC HPHMs exhibited high adsorption capacity (63.6 mg/g for pyridocal 5'-phosphatemonohydrate), and excellent enrichment specificity (tryptic digest of β-casein/BSA at a molar ratio of 1:1000) and sensitivity (tryptic digest of 5 fmol of β-casein). Moreover, the Ti4+-IMAC HPHMs provided effective enrichment ability of low-abundance phosphopeptides from human serum and HeLa cell digests.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria have a robust circadian oscillator, known as the Kai system. Reconstituted from the purified protein components KaiC, KaiB, and KaiA, it can tick autonomously in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). The KaiC hexamers enter a natural 24-hour reaction cycle of autophosphorylation and assembly with KaiB and KaiA in numerous diverse forms. We describe the preparation of stoichiometrically well-defined assemblies of KaiCB and KaiCBA, as monitored by native mass spectrometry, allowing for a structural characterization by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry. Our data reveal details of the interactions between the Kai proteins and provide a structural basis to understand periodic assembly of the protein oscillator.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is vital for many biological processes, beginning with development. The importance of FGF signaling for skeleton formation was first discovered by the analysis of genetic FGFR mutations which cause several bone morphogenetic disorders, including achondroplasia, the most common form of human dwarfism. The formation of the long bones is mediated through proliferation and differentiation of highly specialized cells - chondrocytes.Chondrocytes respond to FGF with growth inhibition, a unique response which differs from the proliferative response of the majority of cell types; however, its molecular determinants are still unclear. Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis was utilized to catalogue the proteins whose phosphorylation status is changed upon FGF1 treatment. The generated dataset consists of 756 proteins. We could localize the divergence between proliferative (canonical) and inhibitory (chondrocyte specific) FGF transduction pathways immediately upstream of AKT kinase. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of the FGF1 regulated peptides revealed that many of the identified phosphorylated proteins are assigned to negative regulation clusters, in accordance with the observed inhibitory growth response. This is the first time a comprehensive subset of proteins involved in FGF inhibitory response is defined. We were able to identify a number of targets and specifically discover glycogen synthase kinase3β (GSK3β) as a novel key mediator of FGF inhibitory response in chondrocytes.

Abstract
![]()
Mass
spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics workflows can crudely be
classified into two distinct regimes, targeting either relatively
small peptides (i.e., 0.7 kDa < Mw <
3.0 kDa) or small to medium sized intact proteins (i.e., 10 kDa < Mw < 30 kDa), respectively, termed bottom-up
and top-down proteomics. Recently, a niche has started to be explored
covering the analysis of middle-range peptides (i.e., 3.0 kDa < Mw < 10 kDa), aptly termed middle-down proteomics.
Although middle-down proteomics can follow, in principle, a modular
workflow similar to that of bottom-up proteomics, we hypothesized
that each of these modules would benefit from targeted optimization
to improve its overall performance in the analysis of middle-range
sized peptides. Hence, to generate middle-range sized peptides from
cellular lysates, we explored the use of the proteases Asp-N and Glu-C
and a nonenzymatic acid induced cleavage. To increase the depth of
the proteome, a strong cation exchange (SCX) separation, carefully
tuned to improve the separation of longer peptides, combined with
reversed phase-liquid chromatography (RP-LC) using columns packed
with material possessing a larger pore size, was used. Finally, after
evaluating the combination of potentially beneficial MS settings,
we also assessed the peptide fragmentation techniques, including higher-energy
collision dissociation (HCD), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD),
and electron-transfer combined with higher-energy collision dissociation
(EThcD), for characterization of middle-range sized peptides. These
combined
improvements clearly improve the detection and sequence coverage of
middle-range peptides and should guide researchers to explore further
how middle-down proteomics may lead to an improved proteome coverage,
beneficial for, among other things, the enhanced analysis of (co-occurring)
post-translational modifications.

Abstract
Protein N-terminal modifications have recently been involved in overall proteostasis through their impact on cell fate and protein life time. This explains the development of new approaches to characterize more precisely the N-terminal end of mature proteins. Although few approaches are available to perform N-terminal enrichment based on positive or negative discriminations, these methods are usually restricted to the enrichment in N-terminal peptides and their characterization by mass spectrometry. Recent investigation highlights both (1) the knowledge of the N-terminal acetylation status of most cytosolic proteins and (2) post-translational addition of this modification on the N-terminus of nuclear coded chloroplast proteins imported in the plastid and after the cleavage of the transit peptide. The workflow involves stable isotope labeling to assess N-acetylation rates followed by Strong Cation eXchange (SCX ) fractionation of the samples to provide protein N-terminal enriched fractions. Combined with mass spectrometry analyses, the technology finally requires extensive data processing. This last step aims first at discriminating the most relevant mature N-termini from the characterized peptides, next at determining its experimental position and then at calculating the N-terminal acetylation yield. Stable-Isotope Protein N-terminal Acetylation Quantification (SILProNAQ) is a complete workflow combining wet-lab techniques together with dry-lab processing to determine the N-terminal acetylation yield of mature proteins for a clearly defined localization.

Abstract
Given superior analytical features, MS proteomics is well suited for the basic investigation and clinical diagnosis of human disease. Modern MS enables detailed functional characterization of the pathogenic biochemical processes, as achieved by accurate and comprehensive quantification of proteins and their regulatory chemical modifications. Here, we describe how high-accuracy MS in combination with high-resolution chromatographic separations can be leveraged to meet these analytical requirements in a mechanism-focused manner. We review the quantification methods capable of producing accurate measurements of protein abundance and posttranslational modification stoichiometries. We then discuss how experimental design and chromatographic resolution can be leveraged to achieve comprehensive functional characterization of biochemical processes in complex biological proteomes. Finally, we describe current approaches for quantitative analysis of a common functional protein modification: reversible phosphorylation. In all, current instrumentation and methods of high-resolution chromatography and MS proteomics are poised for immediate translation into improved diagnostic strategies for pediatric and adult diseases.

Abstract
In regard to the phosphoproteome, highly specific and efficient capture of heteroideous kinds of phosphopeptides from intricate biological sample attaches great significance to comprehensive and in-depth phosphorylated proteomics research. However, until now, it has been a challenge. In this study, a new-fashioned porous immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) material was designed and fabricated to promote the selectivity and detection limit for phosphopeptides by covering a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) shell onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles, taking advantage of layer-by-layer method (the synthesized nanoparticle denoted as Fe3O4@MIL-100 (Fe)). The thick layer renders the nanoparticles with perfect hydrophilic character, super large surface area, large immobilization of the Fe(3+) ions and the special porous structure. Specifically, the as-synthesized MOF-decorated magnetic nanoparticles own an ultra large surface area which is up to 168.66 m(2) g(-1) as well as two appropriate pore sizes of 1.93 and 3.91 nm with a narrow grain-size distribution and rapid separation under the magnetic circumstance. The unique features vested the synthesized nanoparticles an excellent ability for phosphopeptides enrichment with high selectivity for β-casein (molar ratio of β-casein/BSA, 1:500), large enrichment capacity (60 mg g(-1)), low detection limit (0.5 fmol), excellent phosphopeptides recovery (above 84.47%), fine size-exclusion of high molecular weight proteins, good reusability, and desirable batch-to-batch repeatability. Furthermore, encouraged by the experimental results, we successfully performed the as-prepared porous IMAC nanoparticle in the specific capture of phosphopeptides from the human serum (both the healthy and unhealthy) and nonfat milk, which proves itself to be a good candidate for the enrichment and detection of the low-abundant phosphopeptides from complicated biological samples.

Abstract
The reversible phosphorylation of proteins on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues is an important biological regulatory mechanism. In the context of genome integrity, signaling cascades driven by phosphorylation are crucial for the coordination and regulation of DNA repair. The two serine/threonine protein kinases ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) and Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) are key factors in this process, each specific for different kinds of DNA lesions. They are conserved across eukaryotes, mediating the activation of cell-cycle checkpoints, chromatin modifications, and regulation of DNA repair proteins. We designed a novel mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics approach to study DNA damage repair in Arabidopsis thaliana. The protocol combines filter aided sample preparation, immobilized metal affinity chromatography, metal oxide affinity chromatography, and strong cation exchange chromatography for phosphopeptide generation, enrichment, and separation. Isobaric labeling employing iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) was used for profiling the phosphoproteome of atm atr double mutants and wild type plants under either regular growth conditions or challenged by irradiation. A total of 10,831 proteins were identified and 15,445 unique phosphopeptides were quantified, containing 134 up- and 38 down-regulated ATM/ATR dependent phosphopeptides. We identified known and novel ATM/ATR targets such as LIG4 and MRE11 (needed for resistance against ionizing radiation), PIE1 and SDG26 (implicated in chromatin remodeling), PCNA1, WAPL, and PDS5 (implicated in DNA replication), and ASK1 and HTA10 (involved in meiosis).

Abstract
Cell suspension cultures from different plant species act as important model systems for studying cellular processes in plant biology and are often used as "green factories" for the production of valuable secondary metabolites and recombinant proteins. While mass spectrometry based proteome analysis techniques are ideally suited to study plant cell metabolism and other fundamental cellular processes from a birds eye perspective, they remain underused in plant studies. We describe a comprehensive sample preparation and multidimensional 'shotgun' proteomics strategy that can be generically applied to plant cell suspension cultures. This strategy was optimized and tested on an Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Landsberg erecta culture. Furthermore, the implementation of strong cation exchange chromatography as a peptide fractionation step is elaborately tested. Its utility in mass spectrometry based proteome analysis is discussed. Using the presented analytical platform, over 13,000 unique peptides and 2640 proteins could be identified from a single plant cell suspension sample. Finally, the experimental setup is validated using Nicotiana tabacum cv. "Bright Yellow-2" (BY-2) plant cell suspension cultures, thereby demonstrating that the presented analytical platform can also be valuable tool in proteome analysis of non-genomic model systems.

[PMID: 25464366 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2014.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2014] [Revised: 09/10/2014] [Accepted: 11/01/2014] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Even though protein initiator methionine excision (NME) and N-terminal acetylation (NTA) have been relatively well investigated in eukaryotic proteomes, few studies were dedicated to these modifications in bacteria up to now. In this work, we investigated, for the first time, the N-terminal proteome of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 by studying the NME and NTA processes using proteomic approaches. For NME, most of proteins had their initiator Met cleaved (63%) and the nature of the penultimate residue seems to be essential for this cleavage. Concerning NTA, two methods were applied (protein fractionation and peptide enrichment). This allowed us to identify 117 Nα-acetylated proteins, among them 113 have not yet been described as modified in bacteria. Most often, the non-acetylated form was over-represented compared to the acetylated form, arguing that this latter was a minor part of the total abundance of a given protein. Furthermore, some proteins with acetylated initiator methionine were observed. The present work significantly enlarges the number of N-terminally modified proteins in bacteria and confirms that these modifications are a general and fundamental process, not only restricted to eukaryotes. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Protein modifications in prokaryotes have been detected more recently than in eukaryotes. Methionine cleavage and N-terminal acetylation are two common protein N-terminal modifications. Despite their importance in bacterial processes, they are less investigated. The characterization of N-terminal acetylation in bacteria is a challenge because no antibody exists and it is a less frequent modification than in eukaryotes. We used proteomic approaches (enrichment, fractionation, nanoLC-MS/MS, and bioinformatic analyses) to investigate the N-terminal methionine excision and to profile the N-terminal acetylome of P. aeruginosa strain PA14. From our results, around 60% of the proteins had their iMet cleaved. In total, 117 proteins were identified constituting the largest dataset in prokaryotes. Among them, proteins kept their initiator methionine and were acetylated. These results may facilitate the design of experiments to better understand the role of acetylation at the protein N-terminus of P. aeruginosa PA14.

Abstract
Proteogenomics consists of the annotation or reannotation of protein-coding nucleic acid sequences based on the empirical observation of their gene products. While functional annotation of predicted genes is increasingly feasible given the multiplicity of genomes available for many branches of the tree of life, the accurate annotation of the translational start sites is still a point of contention. Extensive coverage of the proteome, including specifically the N-termini, is now possible, thanks to next-generation mass spectrometers able to record data from thousands of proteins at once. Efforts to increase the peptide coverage of protein sequences and to detect low abundance proteins are important to make proteomic and proteogenomic studies more comprehensive. In this review, we present the panoply of N-terminus-oriented strategies that have been developed over the last decade.

Abstract
The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of cysteine residues include oxidation, S-glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, and succination, all of which modify protein function or turnover in response to a changing intracellular redox environment. Succination is a chemical modification of cysteine in proteins by the Krebs cycle intermediate, fumarate, yielding S-(2-succino)cysteine (2SC). Intracellular fumarate concentration and succination of proteins are increased by hyperpolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane, in concert with mitochondrial, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and oxidative stress in 3T3 adipocytes grown in high glucose medium and in adipose tissue in obesity and diabetes in mice. Increased succination of proteins is also detected in the kidney of a fumarase deficient conditional knock-out mouse which develops renal cysts. A wide range of proteins are subject to succination, including enzymes, adipokines, cytoskeletal proteins, and ER chaperones with functional cysteine residues. There is also some overlap between succinated and glutathionylated proteins, suggesting that the same low pKa thiols are targeted by both. Succination of adipocyte proteins in diabetes increases as a result of nutrient excess derived mitochondrial stress and this is inhibited by uncouplers, which discharge the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and relieve the electron transport chain. 2SC therefore serves as a biomarker of mitochondrial stress or dysfunction in chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer, and recent studies suggest that succination is a mechanistic link between mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative and ER stress, and cellular progression toward apoptosis. In this article, we review the history of the succinated proteome and the challenges associated with measuring this non-enzymatic PTM of proteins by proteomics approaches.

Abstract
Cellular information processing in signaling networks forms the basis of responses to environmental stimuli. At any given time, cells receive multiple simultaneous input cues, which are processed and integrated to determine cellular responses such as migration, proliferation, apoptosis, or differentiation. Protein phosphorylation events play a major role in this process and are often involved in fundamental biological and cellular processes such as protein-protein interactions, enzyme activity, and immune responses. Determining which kinases phosphorylate specific phospho sites poses a challenge; this information is critical when trying to elucidate key proteins involved in specific cellular responses. Here, methods to generate high-quality quantitative phosphorylation data from cell lysates originating from primary cells, and how to analyze the generated data to construct quantitative signaling network models, are presented. These models can subsequently be used to guide follow-up in vitro/in vivo validation studies.

Abstract
The small GTPase Rap1 is required for proper cell-cell junction formation and also plays a key role in mediating cAMP-induced tightening of adherens junctions and subsequent increased barrier function of endothelial cells. To further study how Rap1 controls barrier function, we performed quantitative global phosphoproteomics in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) prior to and after Rap1 activation by the Epac-selective cAMP analog 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP-AM (007-AM). Tryptic digests were labeled using stable isotope dimethyl labeling, enriched with phosphopeptides by strong cation exchange (SCX), followed by titanium(iv) immobilized metal affinity chromatography (Ti(4+)-IMAC) and analyzed by high resolution mass spectrometry. We identified 19 859 unique phosphopeptides containing 17 278 unique phosphosites on 4594 phosphoproteins, providing the largest HUVEC phosphoproteome to date. Of all identified phosphosites, 220 (∼1%) were more than 1.5-fold up- or downregulated upon Rap activation, in two independent experiments. Compatible with the function of Rap1, these alterations were found predominantly in proteins regulating the actin cytoskeleton, cell-cell junctions and cell adhesion.

Abstract
Using titanium dioxide is a very good strategy for the phosphopeptide enrichment. There are many other factors can affect the enrichment efficiency, and the optimization of parameters was needed for better enrichment results. In this study, the peptide mixtures of six standard proteins were used as the model samples to evaluate and optimize the parameters such as the proportion of acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid in loading buffer and the TiO2-to-peptide ratio. The results showed that 80% (v/v) acetonitrile, 1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid and 40 : 1 (m/m) TiO2-to-peptide ratio were the optimum parameters to obtain the best enrichment selectivity and maximum phosphopeptides identification. For the first time, the optimum enrichment conditions were applied for the phosphoproteome analysis of the Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis, an anaerobic, saccharolytic, thermophilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring in Tengchong, China, and 25 phosphorylated proteins were identified in the preliminary experiment. The results provided a reference for further study on this organism survived under extreme environment.

Abstract
Protein N-terminal acetylation is one of the most common modifications occurring co- and post-translationally on either eukaryote or prokaryote proteins. However, compared to other protein modifications, the physiological role of protein N-terminal acetylation is relatively unclear. To explore the biological functions of protein N-terminal acetylation, a robust and large-scale method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of this modification is required. Enrichment of N(α)-acetylated peptides or depletion of the free N-terminal and internal tryptic peptides prior to analysis by mass spectrometry are necessary based on current technologies. This study demonstrated a simple strong cation exchange (SCX) fractionation method to selectively enrich N(α)-acetylated tryptic peptides via dimethyl labeling without the need for tedious protective labeling and depleting procedures. This method was introduced for the comprehensive analysis of N-terminal acetylated proteins from HepG2 cells. Several hundred N-terminal acetylation sites were readily identified in a single SCX flow-through fraction. Moreover, the N(α)-acetylated peptides of some protein isoforms were simultaneously observed in the SCX flow-through fraction, which indicated that this approach can be utilized to discriminate protein isoforms with very similar full sequences but different N-terminal sequences, such as β-actin/γ-actin, ERK1/ERK2, α-centractin/β-centractin, and ADP/ATP translocase 2 and 3. Compared to other methods, this method is relatively simple and can be directly implemented in a two-dimensional separation (SCX-RP)-mass spectrometry scheme for quantitative N-terminal proteomics using stable-isotope dimethyl labeling.

Abstract
In order to understand cellular signaling, a clear understanding of kinase-substrate relationships is essential. Some of these relationships are defined by consensus recognition motifs present in substrates making them amendable for phosphorylation by designated kinases. Here, we explore a method that is based on two sequential steps of strong cation exchange chromatography combined with differential stable isotope labeling, to define kinase consensus motifs with high accuracy. We demonstrate the value of our method by evaluating the motifs of two very distinct kinases: cAMP regulated protein kinase A (PKA) and human monopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) kinase, also known as TTK. PKA is a well-studied basophilic kinase with a relatively well-defined motif and numerous known substrates in vitro and in vivo. Mps1, a kinase involved in chromosome segregation, has been less well characterized. Its substrate specificity is unclear and here we show that Mps1 is an acidophilic kinase with a striking tendency for phosphorylation of threonines. The final outcomes of our work are high-definition kinase consensus motifs for PKA and Mps1. Our generic method, which makes use of proteolytic cell lysates as a source for peptide-substrate libraries, can be implemented for any kinase present in the kinome.
