Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as phosphorylation and O-N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation), are involved in the fine spatiotemporal regulation of protein functions, and their dynamic interplay is at the heart of protein language. The coexistence of phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation on a protein leads to the diversification of proteoforms. It is therefore essential to decipher the phosphorylation/O-GlcNAcylation interplay on protein species that orchestrates cellular processes in a specific physiological or pathophysiological context. However, simultaneous visualization of phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation patterns on a protein of interest remains a challenge. To map the proteoforms of a protein, we have developed an easy-to-use two-dimensional electrophoresis method with a single sample processing permitting simultaneous visualization of the phosphorylated and the O-GlcNAcylated forms of the protein of interest. This method, we termed 2D-WGA-Phos-tag-PAGE relies on proteoforms retardation by affinity gel electrophoresis. With this novel approach, we established the cartography of phospho- and glycoforms of αB-crystallin and desmin in the whole extract and the cytoskeleton protein subfraction in skeletal muscle cells. Interestingly, we have shown that the pattern of phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation depends of the subcellular subfraction. Moreover, we have also shown that proteotoxic stress condition increased the complexity of the pattern of PTMs on αB-crystallin.

Abstract
Plasticity of the cerebral cortex following a modification of the sensorimotor experience takes place in several steps that can last from few hours to several months. Among the mechanisms involved in the dynamic modulation of the cerebral cortex in adults, it is commonly proposed that short-term plasticity reflects changes in synaptic connections. Here, we were interested in the time-course of synaptic plasticity taking place in the somatosensory primary cortex all along a 14-day period of sensorimotor perturbation (SMP), as well as during a recovery phase up to 24 h. Activation and expression level of pre- (synapsin 1, synaptophysin, synaptotagmin 1) and postsynaptic (AMPA and NMDA receptors) proteins, postsynaptic density scaffold proteins (PSD-95 and Shank2), and cytoskeletal proteins (neurofilaments-L and M, β3-tubulin, synaptopodin, N-cadherin) were determined in cortical tissue enriched in synaptic proteins. During the SMP period, most changes were observed as soon as D7 in the presynaptic compartment and were followed, at D14, by changes in the postsynaptic compartment. These changes persisted at least until 24 h of recovery. Proteins involved in synapse structure (scaffolding, adhesion, cytoskeletal) were mildly affected and almost exclusively at D14. We concluded that experience-dependent reorganization of somatotopic cortical maps is accompanied by changes in synaptic transmission with a very close time-course.

Abstract
Over the course of the last few decades it has become clear that many neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders have a synaptic defect, which contributes to pathogenicity. A rise in new techniques, and in particular '-omics'-based methods providing large datasets, has led to an increase in potential proteins and pathways implicated in synaptic function and related disorders. Additionally, advancements in imaging techniques have led to the recent discovery of alternative modes of synaptic vesicle recycling. This has resulted in a lack of clarity over the precise role of different pathways in maintaining synaptic function and whether these new pathways are dysfunctional in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. A greater understanding of the molecular detail of pre-synaptic function in health and disease is key to targeting new proteins and pathways for novel treatments and the variety of new techniques currently available provides an ideal opportunity to investigate these functions. This review focuses on techniques to interrogate pre-synaptic function, concentrating mainly on synaptic vesicle recycling. It further examines techniques to determine the underlying molecular mechanism of pre-synaptic dysfunction and discusses methods to identify molecular targets, along with protein-protein interactions and cellular localization. In combination, these techniques will provide an expanding and more complete picture of pre-synaptic function. With the application of recent technological advances, we are able to resolve events with higher spatial and temporal resolution, leading research towards a greater understanding of dysfunction at the presynapse and the role it plays in pathogenicity.
