Abstract
At its most fundamental level, life is a collection of synchronized cellular processes driven by interactions among biomolecules. Proximity labeling has emerged as a powerful technique to capture these interactions in native settings, revealing previously unexplored elements of biology. This review highlights recent developments in proximity labeling, focusing on methods that push the fundamental technologies beyond the classic bait-prey paradigm, such as RNA-protein interactions, ligand/small-molecule-protein interactions, cell surface protein interactions, and subcellular protein trafficking. The advancement of proximity labeling methods to address different biological problems will accelerate our understanding of the complex biological systems that make up life.

Grunfeld N, Levine E, Libby E. Experimental measurement and computational prediction of bacterial Hanks-type Ser/Thr signaling system regulatory targets. Mol Microbiol 2024.

Abstract
Bacteria possess diverse classes of signaling systems that they use to sense and respond to their environments and execute properly timed developmental transitions. One widespread and evolutionarily ancient class of signaling systems are the Hanks-type Ser/Thr kinases, also sometimes termed "eukaryotic-like" due to their homology with eukaryotic kinases. In diverse bacterial species, these signaling systems function as critical regulators of general cellular processes such as metabolism, growth and division, developmental transitions such as sporulation, biofilm formation, and virulence, as well as antibiotic tolerance. This multifaceted regulation is due to the ability of a single Hanks-type Ser/Thr kinase to post-translationally modify the activity of multiple proteins, resulting in the coordinated regulation of diverse cellular pathways. However, in part due to their deep integration with cellular physiology, to date, we have a relatively limited understanding of the timing, regulatory hierarchy, the complete list of targets of a given kinase, as well as the potential regulatory overlap between the often multiple kinases present in a single organism. In this review, we discuss experimental methods and curated datasets aimed at elucidating the targets of these signaling pathways and approaches for using these datasets to develop computational models for quantitative predictions of target motifs. We emphasize novel approaches and opportunities for collecting data suitable for the creation of new predictive computational models applicable to diverse species.

Abstract
The gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates glucose metabolism and insulin secretion, is a target for the development of therapeutic agents to address type 2 diabetes and obesity. Signal transduction processes mediated by GPCR activation typically result in receptor phosphorylation, but very little is known about GIPR phosphorylation. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for detecting phosphorylation and other post-translational modifications of proteins and for identifying modification sites. However, applying MS methods to GPCRs is challenging because the native expression levels are low and the hydrophobicity of these proteins complicates isolation and enrichment. Here we use a widely available technique, trapped-ion-mobility spectrometry coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TIMS-TOF MS), to characterize the phosphorylation status of the GIPR. We identified eight serine residues that are phosphorylated, one in an intracellular loop and the remainder in the C-terminal domain. Stimulation with the native agonist GIP enhanced phosphorylation at four of these sites. For comparison, we evaluated tirzepatide (TZP), a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and the GIPR that has recently been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Stimulation with TZP enhanced phosphorylation at the same four sites that were enhanced with GIP; however, TZP also enhanced phosphorylation at a fifth site that is unique to this synthetic agonist. This work establishes an important and accessible tool for the characterization of signal transduction via the GIPR and reveals an unanticipated functional difference between GIP and TZP.

Abstract
Many membrane proteins form functional complexes that are either homo- or hetero-oligomeric. However, it is challenging to characterize membrane protein oligomerization in intact lipid bilayers, especially for polydisperse mixtures. Native mass spectrometry of membrane proteins and peptides inserted in lipid nanodiscs provides a unique method to study the oligomeric state distribution and lipid preferences of oligomeric assemblies. To interpret these complex spectra, we developed novel data analysis methods using macromolecular mass defect analysis. Here, we provide an overview of how mass defect analysis can be used to study oligomerization in nanodiscs, discuss potential limitations in interpretation, and explore strategies to resolve these ambiguities. Finally, we review recent work applying this technique to studying formation of antimicrobial peptide, amyloid protein, and viroporin complexes with lipid membranes.

Abstract
Top-down mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful tool for analyzing intact proteins and their associated post-translational modifications (PTMs). In particular, membrane proteins play critical roles in cellular functions and represent the largest class of drug targets. However, the top-down MS characterization of endogenous membrane proteins remains challenging, mainly due to their intrinsic hydrophobicity and low abundance. Phospholamban (PLN) is a regulatory membrane protein located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and is essential for regulating cardiac muscle contraction. PLN has diverse combinatorial PTMs, and their dynamic regulation has significant influence on cardiac contractility and disease. Herein, we have developed a rapid and robust top-down proteomics method enabled by a photocleavable anionic surfactant, Azo, for the extraction and comprehensive characterization of endogenous PLN from cardiac tissue. We employed a two-pronged top-down MS approach using an online reversed-phase liquid chromatography tandem MS method on a quadrupole time-of-flight MS and a direct infusion method via an ultrahigh-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance MS. We have comprehensively characterized the sequence and combinatorial PTMs of endogenous human cardiac PLN. We have shown the site-specific localization of phosphorylation to Ser16 and Thr17 by MS/MS for the first time and the localization of S-palmitoylation to Cys36. Moreover, we applied our method to characterize PLN in disease and reported the significant reduction of PLN phosphorylation in human failing hearts with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Taken together, we have developed a streamlined top-down targeted proteomics method for comprehensive characterization of combinatorial PTMs in PLN toward better understanding the role of PLN in cardiac contractility.

Abstract
Proteomics has greatly advanced the understanding of the cellular biochemistry of microorganisms. The thermoalkaliphile Caldalkalibacillus thermarum TA2.A1 is an organism of interest for studies into how alkaliphiles adapt to their extreme lifestyles, as it can grow from pH 7.5 to pH 11. Within most classes of microbes, the membrane-bound electron transport chain (ETC) enables a great degree of adaptability and is a key part of metabolic adaptation. Knowing what membrane proteins are generally expressed is crucial as a benchmark for further studies. Unfortunately, membrane proteins are the category of proteins hardest to detect using conventional cellular proteomics protocols. In part, this is due to the hydrophobicity of membrane proteins as well as their general lower absolute abundance, which hinders detection. Here, we performed a combination of whole cell lysate proteomics and proteomics of membrane extracts solubilised with either SDS or FOS-choline-12 at various temperatures. The combined methods led to the detection of 158 membrane proteins containing at least a single transmembrane helix (TMH). Within this data set we revealed a full oxidative phosphorylation pathway as well as an alternative NADH dehydrogenase type II (Ndh-2) and a microaerophilic cytochrome oxidase ba3. We also observed C. thermarum TA2.A1 expressing transporters for ectoine and glycine betaine, compounds that are known osmolytes that may assist in maintaining a near neutral internal pH when the external pH is highly alkaline.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Skeletal muscles contain large numbers of high-molecular-mass protein complexes in elaborate membrane systems. Integral membrane proteins are involved in diverse cellular functions including the regulation of ion handling, membrane homeostasis, energy metabolism and force transmission. AREAS COVERED The proteomic profiling of membrane proteins and large protein assemblies in skeletal muscles are outlined in this article. This includes a critical overview of the main biochemical separation techniques and the mass spectrometric approaches taken to study membrane proteins. As an illustrative example of an analytically challenging large protein complex, the proteomic detection and characterization of the Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is discussed. The biological role of this large protein complex during normal muscle functioning, in the context of fiber type diversity and in relation to mechanisms of physiological adaptations and pathophysiological abnormalities is evaluated from a proteomics perspective. EXPERT OPINION Mass spectrometry-based muscle proteomics has decisively advanced the field of basic and applied myology. Although it is technically challenging to study membrane proteins, innovations in protein separation methodology in combination with sensitive mass spectrometry and improved systems bioinformatics has allowed the detailed proteomic detection and characterization of skeletal muscle membrane protein complexes, such as Ca2+-pump proteins of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB), mainly caused by Bipolaris maydis, is a destructive disease of maize worldwide. Iprodione is a widely used dicarboximide fungicide (DCF); however, its antifungal activity against B. maydis has not been well studied until now. In this study, the sensitivity of 103 B. maydis isolates to iprodione was determined, followed by biochemistry and physiology assays to ascertain the fungicide's effect on the morphology and other biological properties of B. maydis. The results indicated that iprodione exhibited strong inhibitory activity against B. maydis, and the EC50 values in inhibiting mycelial growth ranged from 0.088 to 1.712 μg/mL, with a mean value of 0.685 ± 0.687 μg/mL. After treatment with iprodione, conidial production of B. maydis was decreased significantly, and the mycelia branches increased with obvious shrinkage, distortion and fracture. Moreover, the expression levels of the osmotic pressure-related regulation genes histidine kinase (hk) and Ssk2-type mitogen-activated protein kinase (ssk2) were upregulated, the glycerin content of mycelia increased significantly, the relative conductivity of mycelia increased, and the cell wall membrane integrity was destroyed. The in vivo assay showed that iprodione at 200 μg/mL provided 79.16% protective efficacy and 90.92% curative efficacy, suggesting that the curative effect was better than the protective effect. All these results proved that iprodione exhibited strong inhibitory activity against B. maydis and provided excellent efficacy in controlling SCLB, indicating that iprodione could be an alternative candidate for the control of SCLB in China.

Abstract
Nonionic surfactants are often used as general reagents for cell lysis enabling protein extraction, stabilization, and purification under nondenaturing conditions for downstream analysis in structural biology. However, the presence of surfactants in the sample matrix often has a deleterious effect on electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of proteins and complexes. Here, we report a nonionic, cleavable surfactant, n-decyl-disulfide-β-D-maltoside (DSSM), for top-down proteomics. DSSM was designed to mimic the properties of one of the most common surfactants used in structural biology, n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM), but contains a disulfide bond that allows for facile cleavage and surfactant removal before or during MS analysis. We have shown that DSSM is compatible with direct electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS analysis and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS analysis of proteins and protein complexes. We have demonstrated that DSSM can facilitate top-down proteomic characterization of membrane proteins such as a model ion channel protein and a G protein-coupled receptor as well as endogenous proteins from cell lysates for the determination of sequence variations and posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Conceivably, DSSM could serve as a general replacement for DDM in proteomic experiments and structural biology studies.

Abstract
The understanding of microbial communities and the biological regulation of its members is crucial for implementation of novel technologies using microbial ecology. One poorly understood metabolic principle of microbial communities is resource allocation and biosynthesis. Resource allocation theory in polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) is limited as a result of their slow imposed growth rate (typical sludge retention times of at least 4 days) and limitations to quantify changes in biomass components over a 6 hours cycle (less than 10% of their growth). As a result, there is no direct evidence supporting that biosynthesis is an exclusive aerobic process in PAOs that alternate continuously between anaerobic and aerobic phases. Here, we apply resource allocation metabolic flux analysis to study the optimal phenotype of PAOs over a temperature range of 4 °C to 20 °C. The model applied in this research allowed to identify optimal metabolic strategies in a core metabolic model with limited constraints based on biological principles. The addition of a constraint limiting biomass synthesis to be an exclusive aerobic process changed the metabolic behaviour and improved the predictability of the model over the studied temperature range by closing the gap between prediction and experimental findings. The results validate the assumption of limited anaerobic biosynthesis in PAOs, specifically "Candidatus Accumulibacter" related species. Interestingly, the predicted growth yield was lower, suggesting that there are mechanistic barriers for anaerobic growth not yet understood nor reflected in the current models of PAOs. Moreover, we identified strategies of resource allocation applied by PAOs at different temperatures as a result of the decreased catalytic efficiencies of their biochemical reactions. Understanding resource allocation is paramount in the study of PAOs and their currently unknown complex metabolic regulation, and metabolic modelling based on biological first principles provides a useful tool to develop a mechanistic understanding.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been known for decades as attractive drug targets. This has led to the development and approval of many ligands targeting GPCRs. Although ligand binding effects have been studied thoroughly for many GPCRs, there are multiple aspects of GPCR signaling that remain poorly understood. The reasons for this are the difficulties that are encountered upon studying GPCRs, for example, a poor solubility and low expression levels. In this work, we have managed to overcome some of these issues by developing an affinity-based probe for a prototypic GPCR, the adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR). Here, we show the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of this probe in various biochemical assays, such as SDS-PAGE, confocal microscopy, and chemical proteomics.

[PMID: 36336078 PMCID: PMC9723947 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Ornate, large, extremophilic (OLE) RNAs represent a class of noncoding RNAs prevalent in Gram-positive, extremophilic/anaerobic bacterial species. OLE RNAs (∼600 nt), whose precise biochemical functions remain mysterious, form an intricate secondary structure interspersed with regions of highly conserved nucleotides. In the alkali-halophilic bacterium Bacillus halodurans, OLE RNA is a component of a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex involving at least two proteins named OapA and OapB, but additional components may exist that could point to functional roles for the RNA. Disruption of the genes for either OLE RNA, OapA, or OapB result in the inability of cells to overcome cold, alcohol, or Mg2+ stresses. In the current study, we used in vivo crosslinking followed by OLE RNA isolation to identify the protein YbxF as a potential additional partner in the OLE RNP complex. Notably, a mutation in the gene for this same protein was also reported to be present in a strain wherein the complex is nonfunctional. The B. halodurans YbxF (herein renamed OapC) is homologous to a bacterial protein earlier demonstrated to bind kink turn (k-turn) RNA structural motifs. In vitro RNA-protein binding assays reveal that OLE RNA forms a previously unrecognized k-turn that serves as the natural binding site for YbxF/OapC. Moreover, B. halodurans cells carrying OLE RNAs with disruptive mutations in the k-turn exhibit phenotypes identical to cells lacking functional OLE RNP complexes. These findings reveal that the YbxF/OapC protein of B. halodurans is important for the formation of a functional OLE RNP complex.

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.

Abstract
Over half of new therapeutic approaches fail in clinical trials due to a lack of target validation. As such, the development of new methods to improve and accelerate the identification of cellular targets, broadly known as target ID, remains a fundamental goal in drug discovery. While advances in sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies have revolutionized drug target ID in recent decades, the corresponding chemical-based approaches have not changed in over 50 y. Consigned to outdated stoichiometric activation modes, modern target ID campaigns are regularly confounded by poor signal-to-noise resulting from limited receptor occupancy and low crosslinking yields, especially when targeting low abundance membrane proteins or multiple protein target engagement. Here, we describe a broadly general platform for photocatalytic small molecule target ID, which is founded upon the catalytic amplification of target-tag crosslinking through the continuous generation of high-energy carbene intermediates via visible light-mediated Dexter energy transfer. By decoupling the reactive warhead tag from the small molecule ligand, catalytic signal amplification results in unprecedented levels of target enrichment, enabling the quantitative target and off target ID of several drugs including (+)-JQ1, paclitaxel (Taxol), dasatinib (Sprycel), as well as two G-protein-coupled receptors-ADORA2A and GPR40.

Abstract
![]()
Recent advances in
single-cell proteomics highlight the promise
of sensitive analyses in limited cell populations. However, technical
challenges remain for sample recovery, throughput, and versatility.
Here, we first report a water droplet-in-oil digestion (WinO) method
based on carboxyl-coated beads and phase transfer surfactants for
proteomic analysis using limited sample amounts. This method was developed
to minimize the contact area between the sample solution and the container
to reduce the loss of proteins and peptides by adsorption. This method
increased protein and peptide recovery 10-fold. The proteome profiles
obtained from 100 cells using the WinO method highly correlated with
those from 10,000 cells using the in-solution digestion method. We
successfully applied the WinO method to single-cell proteomics and
quantified 462 proteins. Using the WinO method, samples can be easily
prepared in a multi-well plate, making it a widely applicable and
suitable method for single-cell proteomics.

Abstract
Intracellular substance analysis is critical for understanding cellular physiological mechanisms and predicting disease progression. Isothermal amplification technologies have been raised to accurately detect intracellular substances due to their low abundance, which is significant for the mechanism analysis and clinical application. However, traditional isothermal method still needs to cell destruction and extraction, resulting in fluctuant results. Moreover, it only works on dead cells. Therefore, non-destructive analysis based on isothermal amplification deserves to be studied, which directly reveals the content and position of relevant molecules. In recent years, metastable DNA hairpins-driven isothermal amplification (Mh-IA) blazes a trail for analysis in living cells. This review tracks the recent advances of Mh-IA strategy in living cell detection and highlights the potential challenges regarding this field, aiming to improve in vivo isothermal amplification. Also, challenges and prospects of Mh-IA for in situ and intracellular analysis are considered.

Abstract
Early diabetes research is hampered by limited availability, variable quality, and instability of human pancreatic islets in culture. Little is known about the human β cell secretome, and recent studies question translatability of rodent β cell secretory profiles. Here, we verify representativeness of EndoC-βH1, one of the most widely used human β cell lines, as a translational human β cell model based on omics and characterize the EndoC-βH1 secretome. We profiled EndoC-βH1 cells using RNA-seq, data-independent acquisition, and tandem mass tag proteomics of cell lysate. Omics profiles of EndoC-βH1 cells were compared to human β cells and insulinomas. Secretome composition was assessed by data-independent acquisition proteomics. Agreement between EndoC-βH1 cells and primary adult human β cells was ∼90% for global omics profiles as well as for β cell markers, transcription factors, and enzymes. Discrepancies in expression were due to elevated proliferation rate of EndoC-βH1 cells compared to adult β cells. Consistently, similarity was slightly higher with benign nonmetastatic insulinomas. EndoC-βH1 secreted 783 proteins in untreated baseline state and 3135 proteins when stressed with nontargeting control siRNA, including known β cell hormones INS, IAPP, and IGF2. Further, EndoC-βH1 secreted proteins known to generate bioactive peptides such as granins and enzymes required for production of bioactive peptides. EndoC-βH1 secretome contained an unexpectedly high proportion of predicted extracellular vesicle proteins. We believe that secretion of extracellular vesicles and bioactive peptides warrant further investigation with specialized proteomics workflows in future studies.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shuttle proteins, RNA, DNA, and lipids crucial for cell-to-cell communication. Recent findings have highlighted that EVs, by virtue of their cargo, may also contribute to breast cancer (BC) growth and metastatic dissemination. Indeed, EVs are gaining great interest as non-invasive cancer biomarkers. However, little is known about the biological and physical properties of EVs from malignant BC lesions, and even less is understood about EVs from non-malignant lesions, such as breast fibroadenoma (FAD), which are clinically managed using conservative approaches. Thus, for this pilot study, we attempted to purify and explore the proteomic profiles of EVs from benign breast lesions, HER2+ BCs, triple–negative BCs (TNBCs), and continuous BC cell lines (i.e., BT-549, MCF–10A, and MDA-MB-231), combining experimental and semi-quantitative approaches. Of note, proteome-wide analyses showed 49 common proteins across EVs harvested from FAD, HER2+ BCs, TNBCs, and model BC lines. This is the first feasibility study evaluating the physicochemical composition and proteome of EVs from benign breast cells and primary and immortalized BC cells. Our preliminary results hold promise for possible implications in precision medicine for BC.

Chemotaxis and Shorter O-Antigen Chain Length Contribute to the Strong Desiccation Tolerance of a Food-Isolated Cronobacter sakazakii Strain. Front Microbiol 2022; 12:779538. [PMID: 35058898 PMCID: PMC8764414 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.779538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen causing a lethality rate as high as 80% in infants. Desiccation tolerance ensures its survival in powdered infant formula (PIF) and contributes to the increased exposure to neonates, resulting in neonatal meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. This study showed that a food-isolated C. sakazakii G4023 strain exhibited a stronger desiccation tolerance than C. sakazakii ATCC 29544 strain. Considering the proven pathogenicity of G4023, it could be a big threat to infants. Transcriptome and proteome were performed to provide new insights into the desiccation adaptation mechanisms of G4023. Integrated analyses of these omics suggested that 331 genes were found regulated at both transcriptional and protein levels (≥2.0- and ≥1.5-fold, respectively). Deletion of chemotaxis system encoded genes cheA and cheW resulted in decreased tolerance in both short- and long-term desiccation. Reduced O-antigen chain length contributed to the biofilm formation and desiccation tolerance in the short term rather than the long term. In addition, biosynthesis of flagella, arginine and its transport system, and Fe/S cluster were also observed regulated in desiccated G4023. A better understanding of desiccation adaptation mechanisms of G4023 could in turn guide the operations during production and preservation of PIF or other food to reduce survival odds of G4023 and lower its exposure to get to infants.

Abstract
Membrane proteins represent a large family of proteins that perform vital physiological roles and represent key drug targets. Despite their importance, bioanalytical methods aiming to comprehensively characterize the post-translational modification (PTM) of membrane proteins remain challenging compared to other classes of proteins in part because of their inherent low expression and hydrophobicity. The inward rectifier potassium channel (Kir) 2.1, an integral membrane protein, is critical for the maintenance of the resting membrane potential and phase-3 repolarization of the cardiac action potential in the heart. The importance of this channel to cardiac physiology is highlighted by the recognition of several sudden arrhythmic death syndromes, Andersen-Tawil and short QT syndromes, which are associated with loss or gain of function mutations in Kir2.1, often triggered by changes in the β-adrenergic tone. Therefore, understanding the PTMs of this channel (particularly β-adrenergic tone-driven phosphorylation) is important for arrhythmia prevention. Here, we developed a proteomic method, integrating both top-down (intact protein) and bottom-up (after enzymatic digestion) proteomic analyses, to characterize the PTMs of recombinant wild-type and mutant Kir2.1, successfully mapping five novel sites of phosphorylation and confirming a sixth site. Our study provides a framework for future work to assess the role of PTMs in regulating Kir2.1 functions.

Abstract
The preparation of microsomal membrane proteins (MPs) is critically important to microsomal proteomics. To date most research studies have utilized an ultracentrifugation-based approach for the isolation and solubilization of plant MPs. However, these approaches are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and unaffordable in certain cases. Furthermore, the use of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and its removal prior to a mass spectrometry (MS) analysis through multiple washing steps result in the loss of proteins. To address these limitations, this study introduced a simple micro-centrifugation-based MP extraction (MME) method from rice leaves, with the efficacy of this approach being compared with a commercially available plasma membrane extraction kit (PME). Moreover, this study assessed the subsequent solubilization of isolated MPs in an MS-compatible surfactant, namely, 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo) and SDS using a label-free proteomic approach. The results validated the effectiveness of the MME method, specifically in the enrichment of plasma membrane proteins as compared with the PME method. Furthermore, the findings showed that Azo demonstrated several advantages over SDS in solubilizing the MPs, which was reflected through a label-free quantitative proteome analysis. Altogether, this study provided a relatively simple and rapid workflow for the efficient extraction of MPs with an Azo-integrated MME approach for bottom-up proteomics.

Abstract
One of the drawbacks preventing the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in clinical practice is the heterogeneous nature of their cultures. MSC cultures are not homogeneously formed by the MSCs and may contain non-mesenchymal cell types. Therefore, prior to use in clinics or research, complete characterization of MSCs should be performed to demonstrate the existence or absence of proper stem cell markers, many of which are happened to be cell-surface proteins. Unfortunately, the success of MSC characterization studies is limited due to the low specificity of the currently available cell-surface markers. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the plasma membrane (PM) proteins of MSCs isolated from human dental pulp (DP), adipose tissue (AT), bone marrow (BM), and hair follicle (HF) with the hope of proposing novel putative specific MSC markers. Differential-velocity centrifugation was used to enrich PM proteins. The isolated proteins were then identified by nLC-MS/MS and subjected to bioinformatics analysis. Proteins that were unique to each MSC type (CD9, CD10, CD63 for DP-MSCs; CD26, CD81, CD201, CD364 for AT-MSCs; Cd49a, CD49d for HF-MSCs; CD49e, CD56, CD92, CD97, CD156b, CD156c, CD220, CD221, CD298, CD315 for BM-MSCs) and common to all four MSC types (CD13, CD29, CD44, CD51, CD59, CD73, CD90) were identified. Uncharacterized proteins that have transmembrane (TM) domains were also detected. Some of the proteins identified in this study were the putative cell-surface markers that might be used for characterization of MSCs.

Abstract
The differential proteins associated with plasma membrane of spermatozoa are less known, identification of which shall help overcome limitations of currently used methods of sperm sexing, considered as a high priority for livestock sector of many countries. This study has reported plasma membrane proteomics of unsorted spermatozoa and differential expression of plasma membrane-associated proteins between X- and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa of indicus cattle (Bos indicus). Isolation of plasma membrane fraction using percoll gradient, relatively a rapid method, from bovine spermatozoa has been reported to enrich isolation of plasma membrane proteins. Significant enrichment for plasma membrane-associated proteins was observed in plasma membrane fraction (p < .05) as compared to the total cell lysate using LC-MS/MS. Furthermore, these experiments were conducted in flow cytometry sorted, sexed-semen samples. Thirteen proteins were identified as differentially abundant between X- and Y-sorted spermatozoa. Among these, two proteins were downregulated in Y-sorted spermatozoa compared to the X-sorted spermatozoa (p < .05), while four and seven proteins could be noted in X- and Y-sorted spermatozoa, respectively. Proteins that are presumed to support sperm capacitation and sperm migration velocity were found to be abundant in Y-sorted spermatozoa while those associated with structural molecule activity were identified as abundant in X-sorted spermatozoa in the present study. Our study provides better insight into the plasma membrane proteomics of spermatozoa of indicus cattle and furnishes data that might aid in design and development of alternate and open technology for sex-sorting of semen.

Abstract
Although top-down proteomics has emerged as a powerful strategy to characterize proteins in biological systems, the analysis of endogenous membrane proteins remains challenging due to their low solubility, low abundance, and the complexity of the membrane subproteome. Here, we report a simple but effective enrichment and separation strategy for top-down proteomics of endogenous membrane proteins enabled by cloud point extraction and multidimensional liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS). The cloud point extraction efficiently enriched membrane proteins using a single extraction, eliminating the need for time-consuming ultracentrifugation steps. Subsequently, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with an MS-compatible mobile phase (59% water, 40% isopropanol, 1% formic acid) was used to remove the residual surfactant and fractionate intact proteins (6-115 kDa). The fractions were separated further by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) coupled with MS for protein characterization. This method was applied to human embryonic kidney cells and cardiac tissue lysates to enable the identification of 188 and 124 endogenous integral membrane proteins, respectively, some with as many as 19 transmembrane domains.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family comprising >800 signaling receptors that regulate numerous cellular and physiologic responses. GPCRs have been implicated in numerous diseases and represent the largest class of drug targets. Although advances in GPCR structure and pharmacology have improved drug discovery, the regulation of GPCR function by diverse post-translational modifications (PTMs) has received minimal attention. Over 200 PTMs are known to exist in mammalian cells, yet only a few have been reported for GPCRs. Early studies revealed phosphorylation as a major regulator of GPCR signaling, whereas later reports implicated a function for ubiquitination, glycosylation, and palmitoylation in GPCR biology. Although our knowledge of GPCR phosphorylation is extensive, our knowledge of the modifying enzymes, regulation, and function of other GPCR PTMs is limited. In this review we provide a comprehensive overview of GPCR post-translational modifications with a greater focus on new discoveries. We discuss the subcellular location and regulatory mechanisms that control post-translational modifications of GPCRs. The functional implications of newly discovered GPCR PTMs on receptor folding, biosynthesis, endocytic trafficking, dimerization, compartmentalized signaling, and biased signaling are also provided. Methods to detect and study GPCR PTMs as well as PTM crosstalk are further highlighted. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the implications of GPCR PTMs in human disease and their importance for drug discovery. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Post-translational modification of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) controls all aspects of receptor function; however, the detection and study of diverse types of GPCR modifications are limited. A thorough understanding of the role and mechanisms by which diverse post-translational modifications regulate GPCR signaling and trafficking is essential for understanding dysregulated mechanisms in disease and for improving and refining drug development for GPCRs.

Abstract
The model white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium is frequently preferred for heavy metal accumulation studies due to its high resistance to heavy metals, including copper (Cu). Here, the response of P. chrysosporium under Cu stress at different time points was investigated for the first time by a detailed proteomic analysis using 2DE MALDI-TOF/MS and nanoLC-MS/MS techniques. A total of 123 Cu-responsive protein spots were determined using 2DE approach, and 104 of them were corresponded to 73 distinct open reading frames (ORFs). Of identified ones, 88 spots were over-, and 16 spots were underrepresented. The majority of these proteins showed to the strongest response at 8th h of Cu exposure. Using nanoLC-MS/MS analysis, a total of 167 differentially produced proteins were identified from Cu-exposed cultures after enrichment of the membrane proteins followed by SILAC. Seventy four, 66, and 69 overrepresented, and 56, 71, and 64 underrepresented proteins were identified at 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h of Cu exposure, respectively. The bioinformatic analysis of these proteins revealed that intracellular trafficking proteins such as Ran GTPase and a p24 family protein, and certain proteins involved in posttranslational modification, protein turnover and folding were Cu-responsive. Three important transcription factors (TFs), NAC, BTF3, and homeobox TFs, 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins, chaperones such as Hsp26/Hsp42 and mortalin, as well as 20S proteasome, 14-3-3 proteins and Hsp90 involve in Cu-stress response of P. chrysosporium. Moreover, certain elements of translation machinery, the proteins related with aspartate, methionine, and pyruvate metabolisms, transketolase, and trehalase related with carbohydrate metabolism, citrate synthase, fumarase, V-ATPase, and F0F1-type ATPase playing role in energy production and conversion, transport proteins such as multidrug resistance and p24 family proteins as well as actin-related proteins involved in cytoskeleton remodeling were determined to be Cu-responsive. The present proteome analysis revealed that P. chrysosporium mainly regulates translational and posttranslational processes, certain transport processes, many metabolic pathways and cytoskeleton to overcome the Cu-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
While many aspects of archaeal cell biology remain relatively unexplored, systems biology approaches like mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics offer an opportunity for rapid advances. Unfortunately, the enormous amount of MS data generated often remains incompletely analyzed due to a lack of sophisticated bioinformatic tools and field-specific biological expertise for data interpretation. Here we present the initiation of the Archaeal Proteome Project (ArcPP), a community-based effort to comprehensively analyze archaeal proteomes. Starting with the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii, we reanalyze MS datasets from various strains and culture conditions. Optimized peptide spectrum matching, with strict control of false discovery rates, facilitates identifying > 72% of the reference proteome, with a median protein sequence coverage of 51%. These analyses, together with expert knowledge in diverse aspects of cell biology, provide meaningful insights into processes such as N-terminal protein maturation, N-glycosylation, and metabolism. Altogether, ArcPP serves as an invaluable blueprint for comprehensive prokaryotic proteomics.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics provides unprecedented opportunities for understanding the structure and function of proteins in complex biological systems; however, protein solubility and sample preparation before MS remain a bottleneck preventing high-throughput proteomics. Herein, we report a high-throughput bottom-up proteomic method enabled by a newly developed MS-compatible photocleavable surfactant, 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo) that facilitates robust protein extraction, rapid enzymatic digestion (30 min compared to overnight), and subsequent MS-analysis following UV degradation. Moreover, we developed an Azo-aided bottom-up method for analysis of integral membrane proteins, which are key drug targets and are generally underrepresented in global proteomic studies. Furthermore, we demonstrated the ability of Azo to serve as an "all-in-one" MS-compatible surfactant for both top-down and bottom-up proteomics, with streamlined workflows for high-throughput proteomics amenable to clinical applications.

Nondestructive analysis of tumor-associated membrane protein MUC1 in living cells based on dual-terminal amplification of a DNA ternary complex. Theranostics 2020; 10:4410-4421. [PMID: 32292504 PMCID: PMC7150497 DOI: 10.7150/thno.42951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Non-destructive analysis of cells at the molecular level is of critical importance for cell research. At present, immunoassay-based and aptamer-based methods can achieve non-structural destructive cell analysis, but still lead to changes in cells at the molecular level. Here, we have proposed a dual-terminal amplification (DTA) strategy, which enables nondestructive analysis of membrane protein MUC1 without the effect on protein expression and cell viability in living cells. Methods: A fluorophore (Cy5)-labeled DNA ternary complex consisting of three oligonucleotides is designed. It can recognize MUC1 through its aptamer region, and thus make the MUC1 of cells visible under a fluorescence microscope. When DNA polymerase is added, dual-terminal amplification is performed. One direction dissociates aptamer from MUC1, and the other direction, also known as rolling circle amplification (RCA), produces long linear DNA strands, which can be further adopted for quantitative analysis of MUC1. In this way, all reagents are removed from the surface of the cells after the analysis, which allows nondestructive analysis. We named this strategy dual-terminal amplification (DTA) analysis. Results: By using the DTA analysis, both in situ fluorescence imaging analysis and ex situ fluorescence quantitative analysis of MUC1 were achieved. In addition, the aptamer-containing DNA ternary complex stays on cell surface only during the analysis and leaves the cell after the analysis is complete. The cells can be maintained in a non-interfering state for the rest of the time. So after the analysis, it is found that there are no effect on the physiological activity of cells and the expression of target protein even after two rounds of repeatable imaging and quantitative analysis. Conclusion: In summary, we have successfully constructed a strategy for nondestructive analysis of membrane protein in living cells. We believe that this method provides a promising way for the analysis of the key membrane proteins of cells and the versatile utilization of precious cell samples.

Abstract
While it is generally accepted that α-synuclein oligomers (αSOs) play an important role in neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease, the basis for their cytotoxicity remains unclear. We have previously shown that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) stabilizes αSOs against dissociation without compromising their ability to colocalize with glutamatergic synapses of primary hippocampal neurons, suggesting that they bind to synaptic proteins. Here, we develop a proteomic screen for putative αSO binding partners in rat primary neurons using DHA-stabilized human αSOs as a bait protein. The protocol involved co-immunoprecipitation in combination with a photoactivatable heterobifunctional sulfo-LC-SDA crosslinker which did not compromise neuronal binding and preserved the interaction between the αSOs-binding partners. We identify in total 29 proteins associated with DHA-αSO of which eleven are membrane proteins, including synaptobrevin-2B (VAMP-2B), the sodium-potassium pump (Na+ /K+ ATPase), the V-type ATPase, the voltage-dependent anion channel and calcium-/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit gamma; only these five hits were also found in previous studies which used unmodified αSOs as bait. We also identified Rab-3A as a target with likely disease relevance. Three out of four selected hits were subsequently validated with dot-blot binding assays. In addition, likely binding sites on these ligands were identified by computational analysis, highlighting a diversity of possible interactions between αSOs and target proteins. These results constitute an important step in the search for disease-modifying treatments targeting toxic αSOs.

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
Sensitization of the transient receptor potential ion channel vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is critically involved in inflammatory pain. To date, manifold signaling cascades have been shown to converge onto TRPV1 and enhance its sensitization. However, many of them also play a role for nociceptive pain, which limits their utility as targets for therapeutic intervention. Here, we show that the vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs homolog 1B (Vti1b) protein promotes TRPV1 sensitization upon inflammation in cell culture but leaves normal functioning of TRPV1 intact. Importantly, the effect of Vti1b can be recapitulated in vivo: Virus-mediated knockdown of Vti1b in sensory neurons attenuated thermal hypersensitivity during inflammatory pain without affecting mechanical hypersensitivity or capsaicin-induced nociceptive pain. Interestingly, TRPV1 and Vti1b are localized in close vicinity as indicated by proximity ligation assays and are likely to bind to each other, either directly or indirectly, as suggested by coimmunoprecipitations. Moreover, using a mass spectrometry-based quantitative interactomics approach, we show that Vti1b is less abundant in TRPV1 protein complexes during inflammatory conditions compared with controls. Alongside, we identify numerous novel and pain state-dependent binding partners of native TRPV1 in dorsal root ganglia. These data represent a unique resource on the dynamics of the TRPV1 interactome and facilitate mechanistic insights into TRPV1 regulation. We propose that inflammation-related differences in the TRPV1 interactome identified here could be exploited to specifically target inflammatory pain in the future.

Abstract
Chemoproteomic approaches to identify ligand-receptor interactions have gained popularity. However, identifying transmembrane receptors remains challenging. A new trifunctional probe to aid the nonbiased identification of such receptors was developed and synthesized using a convenient seven-step synthesis. This probe contained three functional groups: 1) an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester for ligand-coupling through free amines, 2) a diazirine moiety to capture the receptor of interest upon irradiation with UV light, and 3) a biotin group which allowed affinity purification of the final adduct using streptavidin. The interaction between the G protein-coupled tachykinin neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor, expressed in an inducible manner, and the peptidic ligand substance P was used as a test system. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis confirmed successful coupling of the probe to substance P, while inositol monophosphate accumulation assays demonstrated that coupling of the probe did not interfere substantially with the substance P-NK1 receptor interaction. Confocal microscopy and western blotting provided evidence of the formation of a covalent bond between the probe and the NK1 receptor upon UV activation. As proof of concept, the probe was used in full ligand-based receptor-capture experiments to identify the substance P-binding receptor via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, resulting in the successful identification of only the NK1 receptor. This provides proof of concept toward general utilization of this probe to define interactions between ligands and previously unidentified plasma-membrane receptors.

Abstract
This protocol represents a detailed instruction how to prepare protein samples in order to raise mass spectrometry-based identification and quantification rates with respect to the challenging class of membrane proteins. This will increase comprehensiveness of global proteome studies on the one hand but could also be of interest for researchers targeting specific membrane proteins or membrane protein sequences on the other hand. The protocol is a composite of two parts, one focusing on the identification of protein sequences exterior to a cellular membrane (loops of integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins), and the other part targeting primarily protein domains spanning the lipid bilayer. The feasibility of the protocol, as it is described here, was originally shown for the gram-positive pathogenic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus but should be applicable to any kind of membrane protein.

Abstract
Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) have become a promising source for biomarkers accurately reflecting biochemical changes in kidney and urogenital diseases. Characteristically, uEVs are rich in membrane proteins associated with several cellular functions like adhesion, transport, and signaling. Hence, membrane proteins of uEVs should represent an exciting protein class with unique biological properties. In this study, we utilized uEVs to optimize the Triton X-114 detergent partitioning protocol targeted for membrane proteins and proceeded to their subsequent characterization while eliminating effects of Tamm-Horsfall protein, the most abundant interfering protein in urine. This is the first report aiming to enrich and characterize the integral transmembrane proteins present in human urinary vesicles. First, uEVs were enriched using a "hydrostatic filtration dialysis'' appliance, and then the enriched uEVs and lysates were verified by transmission electron microscopy. After using Triton X-114 phase partitioning, we generated an insoluble pellet fraction and aqueous phase (AP) and detergent phase (DP) fractions and analyzed them with LC-MS/MS. Both in- and off-gel protein digestion methods were used to reveal an increased number of membrane proteins of uEVs. After comparing with the identified proteins without phase separation as in our earlier publication, 199 different proteins were detected in DP. Prediction of transmembrane domains (TMDs) from these protein fractions showed that DP had more TMDs than other groups. The analyses of hydrophobicity revealed that the GRAVY score of DP was much higher than those of the other fractions. Furthermore, the analysis of proteins with lipid anchor revealed that DP proteins had more lipid anchors than other fractions. Additionally, KEGG pathway analysis showed that the DP proteins detected participate in endocytosis and signaling, which is consistent with the expected biological functions of membrane proteins. Finally, results of Western blotting confirmed that the membrane protein bands are found in the DP fraction instead of AP. In conclusion, our study validates the use of Triton X-114 phase partitioning protocol on uEVs for a targeted isolation of membrane proteins and to reduce sample complexity. This method successfully facilitates detection of potential biomarkers and druggable targets in uEVs.

Abstract
Despite the significance of membrane proteins (MPs) in biological system is indisputable, their specific natures make them notoriously difficult to be analyzed. Particularly, the widely used Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) prefers analyses of hydrophilic cytosolic proteins and has a limited ionization efficiency towards hydrophobic MPs. Herein, a hydrophobic compound (E)-propyl α-Cyano-4-Hydroxyl Cinnamylate (CHCA-C3), a propyl-esterified derivative of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), was applied as a contaminant tolerant matrix for high sensitivity MALDI-MS analyses of MPs. With CHCA-C3, the detection limits of hydrophobic peptides were 10- to 100-fold better than those using CHCA. Furthermore, high quality of spectra could be achieved in the presence of high concentration of chaotropes, salts and detergents, as well as human urinary and serum environment. Also, CHCA-C3 could generate uniform sample distribution even in the presence of contaminants. This high contaminant-resistance was revealed to be ascribed to the enhanced hydrophobicity of CHCA-C3 with a lower affinity towards hydrophilic contaminants. The application of CHCA-C3 is further demonstrated by the analysis of trypsin/CNBr digests of bacteriorhodopsin containing seven transmembrane domains (TMDs), which dramatically increased numbers of identified hydrophobic peptides in TMDs and sequence coverage (∼100%). Besides, a combined method by using CHCA-C3 with fluoride solvent and a patterned paraffin plate was established for analysis of integral MPs. We achieved a low detection limit of 10 fmol for integral bacteriorhodopsin, which could not be detected using traditional matrices such as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinamic acid, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone even at sample concentration of 10 pmol.

Owing to the clinical potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in regenerative medicine, a thorough examination of the similarities and differences between hiPSCs and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has become indispensable. Moreover, as the important roles of membrane proteins in biological signalling, functional analyses of membrane proteome are therefore promising. In this study, a pathway analysis by the bioinformatics tool GSEA was first performed to identify significant pathways associated with the three comparative membrane proteomics experiments: hiPSCs versus precursor human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF), hESCs versus precursor HFF, and hiPSCs versus hESCs. A following three-way pathway comparison was conducted to identify the differentially regulated pathways that may contribute to the differences between hiPSCs and hESCs. Our results revealed that pathways related to oxidative phosphorylation and focal adhesion may undergo incomplete regulations during the reprogramming process. This hypothesis was supported by another public proteomics dataset to a certain degree. The identified pathways and their core enriched proteins could serve as the starting point to explore the possible ways to make hiPSCs closer to hESCs.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking is well-established for investigating protein-protein interactions. Traditionally, photo cross-linking is used but is associated with problems of selectivity and UV toxicity in a biological context. We here describe, with live cells and under normal growth conditions, selective cross-linking of a furan-modified peptide ligand to its membrane-presented receptor with zero toxicity, high efficiency, and spatio-specificity. Furan-modified kisspeptin-10 is covalently coupled to its glycosylated membrane receptor, GPR54(KISS1R). This newly expands the applicability of furan-mediated cross-linking not only to protein-protein cross-linking but also to cross-linking in situ. Moreover, in our earlier reports on nucleic acid interstrand cross-linking, furan activation required external triggers of oxidation (via addition of N-bromo succinimide or singlet oxygen). In contrast, we here show, for multiple cell lines, the spontaneous endogenous oxidation of the furan moiety with concurrent selective cross-link formation. We propose that reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes form the cellular source establishing furan oxidation.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women. Breast cancer brain metastasis is currently considered an issue of concern among breast cancer patients. Membrane proteins play important roles in breast cancer brain metastasis, involving cell adhesion and penetration of blood-brain barrier. To understand the mechanism of breast cancer brain metastasis, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was employed in conjunction with enrichment of membrane proteins to analyze the proteomes from five different breast cancer and a brain cancer cell lines. Quantitative proteomic data of all cell lines were compared with MDA-MB-231BR which is a brain seeking breast cancer cell line, thus representing brain metastasis characteristics. Label-free proteomics of the six cell lines facilitates the identification of 1238 proteins and the quantification of 899 proteins of which more than 70% were membrane proteins. Unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) of the label-free proteomics data resulted in a distinct clustering of cell lines, suggesting quantitative differences in the expression of several proteins among the different cell lines. Unique protein expressions in 231BR were observed for 28 proteins. The up-regulation of STAU1, AT1B3, NPM1, hnRNP Q, and hnRNP K and the down-regulation of TUBB4B and TUBB5 were noted in 231BR relative to 231 (precursor cell lines from which 231BR is derived). These proteins might contribute to the breast cancer brain metastasis. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) supported the great brain metastatic propensity of 231BR and suggested the importance of the up-regulation of integrin proteins and down-regulation of EPHA2 in brain metastasis.

Abstract
Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is a group of disorders in which autoantibodies directed at antigens located on the plasma membrane of neurons induce severe neurological symptoms. In contrast to classical paraneoplastic disorders, AIE patients respond well to immunotherapy. The detection of neuronal surface autoantibodies in patients' serum or CSF therefore has serious consequences for the patients' treatment and follow-up and requires the availability of sensitive and specific diagnostic tests. This mini-review provides a guideline for both diagnostic and research laboratories that work on the detection of known surface autoantibodies and/or the identification of novel surface antigens. We discuss the strengths and pitfalls of different techniques for anti-neuronal antibody detection: (1) Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence on rat/primate brain sections; (2) Immunocytochemistry (ICC) of living cultured hippocampal neurons; and (3) Cell Based Assay (CBA). In addition, we discuss the use of immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis for the detection of novel neuronal surface antigens, which is a crucial step in further disease classification and the development of novel CBAs.

Abstract
While mass spectrometry (MS) plays a key role in proteomics research, characterization of membrane proteins (MP) by MS has been a challenging task because of the presence of a host of interfering chemicals in the hydrophobic protein extraction process, and the low protease digestion efficiency. We report a sample preparation protocol, two-phase separation with Triton X-100, induced by NaCl, with coomassie blue added for visualizing the detergent-rich phase, which streamlines MP preparation for SDS-PAGE analysis of intact MP and shot-gun proteomic analyses. MP solubilized in the detergent-rich milieu were then sequentially extracted and fractionated by surface-oxidized nanodiamond (ND) at three pHs. The high MP affinity of ND enabled extensive washes for removal of salts, detergents, lipids, and other impurities to ensure uncompromised ensuing purposes, notably enhanced proteolytic digestion and down-stream mass spectrometric (MS) analyses. Starting with a typical membranous cellular lysate fraction harvested with centrifugation/ultracentrifugation, MP purities of 70%, based on number (not weight) of proteins identified by MS, was achieved; the weight-based purity can be expected to be much higher.

Abstract
Electron transport phosphorylation is the central mechanism for most prokaryotic species to harvest energy released in the respiration of their substrates as ATP. Microorganisms have evolved incredible variations on this principle, most of these we perhaps do not know, considering that only a fraction of the microbial richness is known. Besides these variations, microbial species may show substantial versatility in using respiratory systems. In connection herewith, regulatory mechanisms control the expression of these respiratory enzyme systems and their assembly at the translational and posttranslational levels, to optimally accommodate changes in the supply of their energy substrates. Here, we present an overview of methods and techniques from the field of proteomics to explore bacterial electron transfer chains and their regulation at levels ranging from the whole organism down to the Ångstrom scales of protein structures. From the survey of the literature on this subject, it is concluded that proteomics, indeed, has substantially contributed to our comprehending of bacterial respiratory mechanisms, often in elegant combinations with genetic and biochemical approaches. However, we also note that advanced proteomics offers a wealth of opportunities, which have not been exploited at all, or at best underexploited in hypothesis-driving and hypothesis-driven research on bacterial bioenergetics. Examples obtained from the related area of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation research, where the application of advanced proteomics is more common, may illustrate these opportunities.
