Kageler L, Perr J, Flynn RA. Tools to investigate the cell surface: Proximity as a central concept in glycoRNA biology. Cell Chem Biol 2024; 31:1132-1144. [PMID: 38772372 PMCID: PMC11193615 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2024.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Proximity is a fundamental concept in chemistry and biology, referring to the convergence of molecules to facilitate new molecular interactions or reactions. Hybrid biopolymers like glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, ubiquitinated proteins, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), and RNAylated proteins exemplify this by covalent bonding of moieties that are often orthogonally active. Hybrid molecules like glycoRNAs are localized to new physical spaces, generating new interfaces for biological functions. To fully investigate the compositional and spatial features of molecules like glycoRNAs, flexible genetic and chemical tools that encompass different encoding and targeting biopolymers are required. Here we discuss concepts of molecular proximity and explore newer proximity labeling technologies that facilitate applications in RNA biology, cell surface biology, and the interface therein with a particular focus on glycoRNA biology. We review the advantages and disadvantages of methods pertaining to cell surface RNA identification and provide insights into the vast opportunities for method development in this area.

Abstract
The ability of a pathogen to survive and cause an infection is often determined by specific interactions between the host and pathogen proteins. Such interactions can be both intra- and extracellular and may define the outcome of an infection. There are a range of innovative biochemical, biophysical and bioinformatic techniques currently available to identify protein-protein interactions (PPI) between the host and the pathogen. However, the complexity and the diversity of host-pathogen PPIs has led to the development of several high throughput (HT) techniques that enable the study of multiple interactions at once and/or screen multiple samples at the same time, in an unbiased manner. We review here the major HT laboratory-based technologies employed for host-bacterial interaction studies.

Abstract
Deciphering the intricate dynamic events governing type I interferon (IFN) signaling is critical to unravel key regulatory mechanisms in host antiviral defense. Here, we leverage TurboID-based proximity labeling coupled with affinity purification-mass spectrometry to comprehensively map the proximal human proteomes of all seven canonical type I IFN signaling cascade members under basal and IFN-stimulated conditions. This uncovers a network of 103 high-confidence proteins in close proximity to the core members IFNAR1, IFNAR2, JAK1, TYK2, STAT1, STAT2, and IRF9, and validates several known constitutive protein assemblies, while also revealing novel stimulus-dependent and -independent associations between key signaling molecules. Functional screening further identifies PJA2 as a negative regulator of IFN signaling via its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Mechanistically, PJA2 interacts with TYK2 and JAK1, promotes their non-degradative ubiquitination, and limits the activating phosphorylation of TYK2 thereby restraining downstream STAT signaling. Our high-resolution proximal protein landscapes provide global insights into the type I IFN signaling network, and serve as a valuable resource for future exploration of its functional complexities.

Abstract
Multicellular organisms are composed of many tissue types that have distinct morphologies and functions, which are largely driven by specialized proteomes and interactomes. To define the proteome and interactome of a specific type of tissue in an intact animal, we developed a localized proteomics approach called Methionine Analog-based Cell-Specific Proteomics and Interactomics (MACSPI). This method uses the tissue-specific expression of an engineered methionyl-tRNA synthetase to label proteins with a bifunctional amino acid 2-amino-5-diazirinylnonynoic acid in selected cells. We applied MACSPI in Caenorhabditis elegans, a model multicellular organism, to selectively label, capture, and profile the proteomes of the body wall muscle and the nervous system, which led to the identification of tissue-specific proteins. Using the photo-cross-linker, we successfully profiled HSP90 interactors in muscles and neurons and identified tissue-specific interactors and stress-related interactors. Our study demonstrates that MACSPI can be used to profile tissue-specific proteomes and interactomes in intact multicellular organisms.

Abstract
The modified E. coli biotin ligase BirA* was the first developed for proximity labeling of proteins (BioID). However, it has low activity at temperatures below 37°C, which reduces its effectiveness in organisms growing at lower temperatures, such as budding yeast. Multiple derivatives of the enzymes have been engineered, but a comparison of these variations of biotin ligases has not been reported in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we designed a suite of vectors to compare the activities of biotin ligase enzymes in yeast. We found that the newer TurboID versions were the most effective at labeling proteins, but they displayed low constitutive activity from biotin contained in the culture medium. We describe a simple strategy to express free BioID enzymes in cells that can be used as an appropriate control in BioID studies to account for the promiscuous labeling of proteins caused by random interactions between bait-BioID enzymes in cells. We also describe chemically-induced BioID systems exploiting the rapamycin-stabilized FRB-FKBP interaction. Finally, we used the TurboID version of the enzyme to explore the interactome of different subunits of the Ccr4-Not gene regulatory complex. We find that Ccr4-Not predominantly labeled cytoplasmic mRNA regulators, consistent with its function in mRNA decay and translation quality control in this cell compartment.

Abstract
Studies on Hippo pathway regulation of tumorigenesis largely center on YAP and TAZ, the transcriptional co-regulators of TEAD. Here, we present an oncogenic mechanism involving VGLL and TEAD fusions that is Hippo pathway-related but YAP/TAZ-independent. We characterize two recurrent fusions, VGLL2-NCOA2 and TEAD1-NCOA2, recently identified in spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. We demonstrate that, in contrast to VGLL2 and TEAD1, the fusion proteins are strong activators of TEAD-dependent transcription, and their function does not require YAP/TAZ. Furthermore, we identify that VGLL2 and TEAD1 fusions engage specific epigenetic regulation by recruiting histone acetyltransferase p300 to control TEAD-mediated transcriptional and epigenetic landscapes. We showed that small molecule p300 inhibition can suppress fusion proteins-induced oncogenic transformation both in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our study reveals a molecular basis for VGLL involvement in cancer and provides a framework for targeting tumors carrying VGLL, TEAD, or NCOA translocations.

Abstract
Understanding the complex network of protein-protein interactions (PPI) that govern cellular functions is essential for unraveling the molecular basis of biological processes and diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful tool for studying protein dynamics, enabling comprehensive analysis of protein function, structure, post-translational modifications, interactions, and localization. This article provides an overview of MS techniques and their applications in proteomics studies, with a focus on the replication fork proteome. The replication fork is a multi-protein assembly involved in DNA replication, and its proper functioning is crucial for maintaining genomic integrity. By combining quantitative MS labeling techniques with various data acquisition methods, researchers have made significant strides in elucidating the complex processes and molecular mechanisms at the replication fork. Overall, MS has revolutionized our understanding of protein dynamics, offering valuable insights into cellular processes and potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The nucleus controls cell growth and division through coordinated interactions between nuclear proteins and chromatin. Mutations that impair nuclear protein association with chromatin are implicated in numerous diseases. Covalent ligands are a promising strategy to pharmacologically target nuclear proteins, such as transcription factors, which lack ordered small-molecule binding pockets. To identify nuclear cysteines that are susceptible to covalent liganding, we couple proximity labeling (PL), using a histone H3.3-TurboID (His-TID) construct, with chemoproteomics. Using covalent scout fragments, KB02 and KB05, we identified ligandable cysteines on proteins involved in spindle assembly, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation, such as Cys101 of histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1). Furthermore, we show that covalent fragments can affect the abundance, localization, and chromatin association of nuclear proteins. Notably, the Parkinson disease protein 7 (PARK7) showed increased nuclear localization and chromatin association upon KB02 modification at Cys106. Together, this platform provides insights into targeting nuclear cysteines with covalent ligands.

Abstract
Understanding the complex relationships between enzyme sequence, folding stability and catalytic activity is crucial for applications in industry and biomedicine. However, current enzyme assay technologies are limited by an inability to simultaneously resolve both stability and activity phenotypes and to couple these to gene sequences at large scale. Here we present the development of enzyme proximity sequencing, a deep mutational scanning method that leverages peroxidase-mediated radical labeling with single cell fidelity to dissect the effects of thousands of mutations on stability and catalytic activity of oxidoreductase enzymes in a single experiment. We use enzyme proximity sequencing to analyze how 6399 missense mutations influence folding stability and catalytic activity in a D-amino acid oxidase from Rhodotorula gracilis. The resulting datasets demonstrate activity-based constraints that limit folding stability during natural evolution, and identify hotspots distant from the active site as candidates for mutations that improve catalytic activity without sacrificing stability. Enzyme proximity sequencing can be extended to other enzyme classes and provides valuable insights into biophysical principles governing enzyme structure and function.

Abstract
Classical methods of investigating protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are generally performed in non-living systems, yet in recent years new technologies utilizing proximity labeling (PL) have given researchers the tools to explore proximal PPIs in living systems. PL has distinct advantages over traditional protein interactome studies, such as the ability to identify weak and transient interactions in vitro and in vivo. Most PL studies are performed on targets within the cell or on the cell membrane. We have adapted the original PL method to investigate PPIs within the extracellular compartment, using both BioID2 and TurboID, that we term extracellular PL (ePL). To demonstrate the utility of this modified technique, we investigate the interactome of the widely expressed matrisome protein tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2). Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are a family of multi-functional proteins that were initially defined by their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of metalloproteinases (MPs), the major mediators of extracellular matrix (ECM) breakdown and turnover. TIMP2 exhibits a broad expression profile and is often abundant in both normal and diseased tissues. Understanding the functional transformation of matrisome regulators, like TIMP2, during the evolution of tissue microenvironments associated with disease progression is essential for the development of ECM-targeted therapeutics. Using carboxyl- and amino-terminal fusion proteins of TIMP2 with BioID2 and TurboID, we describe the TIMP2 proximal interactome. We also illustrate how the TIMP2 interactome changes in the presence of different stimuli, in different cell types, in unique culture conditions (2D vs 3D), and with different reaction kinetics (BioID2 vs. TurboID); demonstrating the power of this technique versus classical PPI methods. We propose that the screening of matrisome targets in disease models using ePL will reveal new therapeutic targets for further comprehensive studies.

Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 has been found within mitochondria in addition to its canonical role of shuttling between cytoplasm and nucleus during cytokine signaling. Mitochondrial STAT3 has been implicated in modulation of cellular metabolism, largely through effects on the respiratory electron transport chain. However, the structural requirements underlying mitochondrial targeting and function have remained unclear. Here, we show that mitochondrial STAT3 partitions between mitochondrial compartments defined by differential detergent solubility, suggesting that mitochondrial STAT3 is membrane associated. The majority of STAT3 was found in an SDS soluble fraction copurifying with respiratory chain proteins, including numerous components of the complex I NADH dehydrogenase, while a minor component was found with proteins of the mitochondrial translation machinery. Mitochondrial targeting of STAT3 required the amino-terminal domain, and an internal linker domain motif also directed mitochondrial translocation. However, neither the phosphorylation of serine 727 nor the presence of mitochondrial DNA was required for the mitochondrial localization of STAT3. Two cysteine residues in the STAT3 SH2 domain, which have been previously suggested to be targets for protein palmitoylation, were also not required for mitochondrial translocation, but were required for its function as an enhancer of complex I activity. These structural determinants of STAT3 mitochondrial targeting and function provide potential therapeutic targets for disrupting the activity of mitochondrial STAT3 in diseases such as cancer.

Abstract
Proteins form complex networks through interaction to drive biological processes. Thus, dissecting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is essential for interpreting cellular processes. To overcome the drawbacks of traditional approaches for analyzing PPIs, enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling (PL) techniques based on peroxidases or biotin ligases have been developed and successfully utilized in mammalian systems. However, the use of toxic H2O2 in peroxidase-based PL, the requirement of long incubation time (16-24 h), and higher incubation temperature (37 °C) with biotin in BioID-based PL significantly restricted their applications in plants. TurboID-based PL, a recently developed approach, circumvents the limitations of these methods by providing rapid PL of proteins under room temperature. We recently optimized the use of TurboID-based PL in plants and demonstrated that it performs better than BioID in labeling endogenous proteins. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol for TurboID-based PL in studying PPIs in planta, including Agrobacterium-based transient expression of proteins, biotin treatment, protein extraction, removal of free biotin, quantification, and enrichment of the biotinylated proteins by affinity purification. We describe the PL using plant viral immune receptor N, which belongs to the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) class of immune receptors, as a model. The method described could be easily adapted to study PPI networks of other proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana and provides valuable information for future application of TurboID-based PL in other plant species.

[PMID: 38043798 PMCID: PMC10788534 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Notch signaling plays a critical role in cell fate decisions in all cell types. Furthermore, gain-of-function mutations in NOTCH1 have been uncovered in many human cancers. Disruption of Notch signaling has recently emerged as an attractive disease treatment strategy. However, the nuclear interaction landscape of the oncoprotein NOTCH1 remains largely unexplored. We therefore employed here a proximity-dependent biotin identification approach to identify in vivo protein associations with the nuclear Notch1 intracellular domain in live cells. We identified a large set of previously reported and unreported proteins that associate with NOTCH1, including general transcription and elongation factors, DNA repair and replication factors, coactivators, corepressors, and components of the NuRD and SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes. We also found that Notch1 intracellular domain associates with protein modifiers and components of other signaling pathways that may influence Notch signal transduction and protein stability such as USP7. We further validated the interaction of NOTCH1 with histone deacetylase 1 or GATAD2B using protein network analysis, proximity-based ligation, in vivo cross-linking and coimmunoprecipitation assays in several Notch-addicted cancer cell lines. Through data mining, we also revealed potential drug targets for the inhibition of Notch signaling. Collectively, these results provide a valuable resource to uncover the mechanisms that fine-tune Notch signaling in tumorigenesis and inform therapeutic targets for Notch-addicted tumors.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important therapeutic targets expressed on the cell surface. Here, we present a protocol for identifying physiologically relevant binding proteins of adhesion GPCR GPR110. We describe steps for in-cell chemical crosslinking, immunoprecipitation, and quantitative high-resolution mass spectrometry. Notably, we detail a label-free quantitation strategy that eliminates irrelevant interacting proteins using an inactive GPR110 mutant with impaired surface expression. Furthermore, we outline procedures for validating the identified partners. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Huang et al. (2023).1.

Abstract
Hundreds of E3 ligases play a critical role in recognizing specific substrates for modification by ubiquitin (Ub). Separating genuine targets of E3s from E3-interactors remains a challenge. We present BioE3, a powerful approach for matching substrates to Ub E3 ligases of interest. Using BirA-E3 ligase fusions and bioUb, site-specific biotinylation of Ub-modified substrates of particular E3s facilitates proteomic identification. We show that BioE3 identifies both known and new targets of two RING-type E3 ligases: RNF4 (DNA damage response, PML bodies), and MIB1 (endocytosis, autophagy, centrosome dynamics). Versatile BioE3 identifies targets of an organelle-specific E3 (MARCH5) and a relatively uncharacterized E3 (RNF214). Furthermore, BioE3 works with NEDD4, a HECT-type E3, identifying new targets linked to vesicular trafficking. BioE3 detects altered specificity in response to chemicals, opening avenues for targeted protein degradation, and may be applicable for other Ub-likes (UbLs, e.g., SUMO) and E3 types. BioE3 applications shed light on cellular regulation by the complex UbL network.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a central role in microglial biology and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Besides DNAX-activating protein 12 (DAP12), a communal adaptor for TREM2 and many other receptors, other cellular interactors of TREM2 remain largely elusive. We employed a 'proximity labeling' approach using a biotin ligase, TurboID, for mapping protein-protein interactions in live mammalian cells. We discovered novel TREM2-proximal proteins with diverse functions, including those localized to the Mitochondria-ER contact sites (MERCs), a dynamic subcellular 'hub' implicated in a number of crucial cell physiology such as lipid metabolism. TREM2 deficiency alters the thickness (inter-organelle distance) of MERCs, a structural parameter of metabolic state, in microglia derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Our TurboID-based TREM2 interactome study suggest novel roles for TREM2 in the structural plasticity of the MERCs, raising the possibility that dysregulation of MERC-related TREM2 functions contribute to AD pathobiology.

Abstract
Cellular activities are commonly associated with dynamic proteomic changes at the subcellular level. Although several techniques are available to quantify whole-cell protein turnover dynamics, such measurements often lack sufficient spatial resolution at the subcellular level. Herein, we report the development of prox-SILAC method that combines proximity-dependent protein labeling (APEX2/HRP) with metabolic incorporation of stable isotopes (pulse-SILAC) to map newly synthesized proteins with subcellular spatial resolution. We apply prox-SILAC to investigate proteome dynamics in the mitochondrial matrix and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. Our analysis reveals a highly heterogeneous distribution in protein turnover dynamics within macromolecular machineries such as the mitochondrial ribosome and respiratory complexes I-V, thus shedding light on their mechanism of hierarchical assembly. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamic changes of ER proteome when cells are challenged with stress or undergoing stimulated differentiation, identifying subsets of proteins with unique patterns of turnover dynamics, which may play key regulatory roles in alleviating stress or promoting differentiation. We envision that prox-SILAC could be broadly applied to profile protein turnover at various subcellular compartments, under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Self-renewal and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) are greatly affected by the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment; the composition and stiffness of which are sensed by the cells via integrin-associated focal adhesions (FAs) which link the cells to the ECM. Although FAs have been studied extensively in differentiated cells, their composition and function in mESCs are not as well elucidated. To gain more detailed knowledge of the molecular compositions of FAs in mESCs, we adopted the proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID) proteomics approach. Paxillin, a known FA protein (FAP), is fused to the promiscuous biotin ligase TurboID as bait. We employed both SILAC- and label-free (LF)-based quantitative proteomics to strengthen as well as complement individual approach. The mass spectrometry data derived from SILAC and LF identified 38 and 443 proteins, respectively, with 35 overlapping candidates. Fifteen of these shared proteins are known FAPs based on literature-curated adhesome and 7 others are among the reported "meta-adhesome", suggesting the components of FAs are largely conserved between mESCs and differentiated cells. Furthermore, the LF data set contained an additional 18 literature-curated FAPs. Notably, the overlapped proteomics data failed to detect LIM-domain proteins such as zyxin family proteins, which suggests that FAs in mESCs are less mature than differentiated cells. Using the LF approach, we are able to identify PDLIM7, a LIM-domain protein, as a FAP in mESCs. This study illustrates the effectiveness of TurboID in mESCs. Importantly, we found that application of both SILAC and LF methods in combination allowed us to analyze the TurboID proteomics data in an unbiased, stringent and yet comprehensive manner.

Abstract
The development of higher-throughput, potentially lower-cost means to isolate proteins, for a variety of end uses, is of continuing emphasis. Polypropylene (PP) capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) fiber columns are modified with the biotin-binding protein streptavidin (SAV) to capture biotinylated proteins. The loading characteristics of SAV on fiber supports were determined using breakthrough curves and frontal analysis. Based on adsorption data, a 3-min on-column loading at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min-1 (295.2 cm h-1) with a SAV feed concentration of 0.5 mg mL-1 produces a SAV loading capacity of 1.4 mg g-1 fiber. SAV has an incredibly high affinity for the small-molecule biotin (10-14 M), such that this binding relationship can be exploited by labeling a target protein with biotin via an Avi-tag. To evaluate the capture of the biotinylated proteins on the modified PP surface, the biotinylated versions of bovine serum albumin (b-BSA) and green fluorescent protein (b-GFP) were utilized as probe species. The loading buffer composition and flow rate were optimized towards protein capture. The non-ionic detergent Tween-20 was added to the deposition solutions to minimize non-specific binding. Values of 0.25-0.50% (v/v) Tween-20 in PBS exhibited better capture efficiency, while minimizing the non-specific binding for b-BSA and b-GFP, respectively. The C-CP fiber platform has the potential to provide a fast and low-cost method to capture targeted proteins for applications including protein purification or pull-down assays.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are an important cellular reservoir for latent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Several HCMV genes are expressed during latency that are involved with the maintenance of the viral genome in CD34+ HPC. However, little is known about the process of viral reactivation in these cells. Here, we describe a viral protein, pUL8, and its interaction and stabilization with members of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway as an important component of viral reactivation. We further define that pUL8 and β-catenin interact with DVL2 via a PDZ-binding domain, and loss of UL8 interaction with β-catenin-DVL2 restricts viral reactivation. Our findings will be instrumental in understanding the molecular processes involved in HCMV reactivation in order to design new antiviral therapeutics.

Abstract
The cell membrane proteome is the primary biohub for cell communication, yet we are only beginning to understand the dynamic protein neighborhoods that form on the cell surface and between cells. Proximity labeling proteomics (PLP) strategies using chemically reactive probes are powerful approaches to yield snapshots of protein neighborhoods but are currently limited to one single resolution based on the probe labeling radius. Here, we describe a multi-scale PLP method with tunable resolution using a commercially available histological dye, Eosin Y, which upon visible light illumination, activates three different photo-probes with labeling radii ranging from ∼100 to 3000 Å. We applied this platform to profile neighborhoods of the oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and orthogonally validated >20 neighbors using immuno-assays and AlphaFold-Multimer prediction that generated plausible binary interaction models. We further profiled the protein neighborhoods of cell-cell synapses induced by bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)T cells at longer length scales. This integrated multi-scale PLP platform maps local and distal protein networks on cell surfaces and between cells. We believe this information will aid in the systematic construction of the cell surface interactome and reveal new opportunities for immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
In Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), the VESICLE-INDUCING PROTEIN IN PLASTIDS 1 and 2 (VIPP1 and VIPP2) play roles in the sensing and coping with membrane stress and in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. To gain more insight into these processes, we aimed to identify proteins interacting with VIPP1/2 in the chloroplast and chose proximity labeling (PL) for this purpose. We used the transient interaction between the nucleotide exchange factor CHLOROPLAST GRPE HOMOLOG 1 (CGE1) and the stromal HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 70B (HSP70B) as test system. While PL with APEX2 and BioID proved to be inefficient, TurboID resulted in substantial biotinylation in vivo. TurboID-mediated PL with VIPP1/2 as baits under ambient and H2O2 stress conditions confirmed known interactions of VIPP1 with VIPP2, HSP70B, and the CHLOROPLAST DNAJ HOMOLOG 2 (CDJ2). Proteins identified in the VIPP1/2 proxiomes can be grouped into proteins involved in the biogenesis of thylakoid membrane complexes and the regulation of photosynthetic electron transport, including PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5-LIKE 1 (PGRL1). A third group comprises 11 proteins of unknown function whose genes are upregulated under chloroplast stress conditions. We named them VIPP PROXIMITY LABELING (VPL). In reciprocal experiments, we confirmed VIPP1 in the proxiomes of VPL2 and PGRL1. Our results demonstrate the robustness of TurboID-mediated PL for studying protein interaction networks in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas and pave the way for analyzing functions of VIPPs in thylakoid biogenesis and stress responses.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in cancer incidence and mortality, and immune abnormalities have been closely linked to malignancy development. TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a non-classical IκB kinase that regulates interferon and NF-κB signaling pathways and plays a crucial role in innate immunity. Recent studies have shown high expression levels of TBK1 and increased activity in various tumor cells, suggesting its involvement in the development and progression of multiple cancers. Targeting TBK1 for tumor therapy may be a possibility. However, little is known about the abnormal activation and dynamic regulation of TBK1 in cancer. First, we utilized the BioID biotinylation technique combined with TMT-based quantitative proteomics to analyze the TBK1 interacting proteins. Our results revealed that TXLNA interacts with TBK1 and binds to the α-helical scaffold of TBK1. The expression of TXLNA could affect the S172 phosphorylation of TBK1. PPM1B is a phosphatase that can dephosphorylate TBK1 S172, so we used the APEX2 proximity labeling technique combined with TMT-based quantitative proteomics to explore the interacting proteins of PPM1B and search for the regulatory pathway of TXLNA on TBK1 phosphorylation. We found that PPM1B interacts with TXLNA. Based on these results, we further found that TXLNA impairs the binding of PPM1B to TBK1, inhibiting the dephosphorylation of TBK1 and contributing to the abnormal enhancement of TBK1 activity in cancer cells. This study sheds light on the potential mechanism of aberrant activation and dynamic regulation of TBK1 in tumors and provides a potential target for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Protein‒protein, protein‒RNA, and protein‒DNA interaction networks form the basis of cellular regulation and signal transduction, making it crucial to explore these interaction networks to understand complex biological processes. Traditional methods such as affinity purification and yeast two-hybrid assays have been shown to have limitations, as they can only isolate high-affinity molecular interactions under nonphysiological conditions or in vitro. Moreover, these methods have shortcomings for organelle isolation and protein subcellular localization. To address these issues, proximity labeling techniques have been developed. This technology not only overcomes the limitations of traditional methods but also offers unique advantages in studying protein spatial characteristics and molecular interactions within living cells. Currently, this technique not only is indispensable in research on mammalian nucleoprotein interactions but also provides a reliable approach for studying nonmammalian cells, such as plants, parasites and viruses. Given these advantages, this article provides a detailed introduction to the principles of proximity labeling techniques and the development of labeling enzymes. The focus is on summarizing the recent applications of TurboID and miniTurbo in mammals, plants, and microorganisms. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase, also known as complex IV, facilitates the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen, resulting in the production of ATP. The assembly of complex IV is a tightly regulated and intricate process that entails the coordinated synthesis and integration of subunits encoded by the mitochondria and nucleus into a functional complex. Accurate regulation of translation is crucial for maintaining proper mitochondrial function, and defects in this process can lead to a wide range of mitochondrial disorders and diseases. However, the mechanisms governing mRNA translation by mitoribosomes in mammals remain largely unknown. In this study, we elucidate the critical role of PET117, a chaperone protein involved in complex IV assembly, in the regulation of mitochondria-encoded cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COX1) protein synthesis in human cells. Depletion of PET117 reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and impaired mitochondrial function. PET117 was found to interact with and stabilize translational activator of COX1 (TACO1) and prevent its ubiquitination. TACO1 overexpression rescued the inhibitory effects on mitochondria caused by PET117 deficiency. These findings provide evidence for a novel PET117-TACO1 axis in the regulation of mitochondrial protein expression, and revealed a previously unknown role of PET117 in human cells.

Abstract
Nuclear envelope (NE) budding is a nuclear pore-independent nuclear export pathway, analogous to the egress of herpesviruses, and required for protein quality control, synapse development, and mitochondrial integrity. The physical formation of NE buds is dependent on the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein, Wash, its regulatory complex (SHRC), and Arp2/3, and requires Wash's actin nucleation activity. However, the machinery governing cargo recruitment and organization within the NE bud remains unknown. Here, we identify Pavarotti (Pav) and Tumbleweed (Tum) as new molecular components of NE budding. Pav and Tum interact directly with Wash and define a second nuclear Wash-containing complex required for NE budding. Interestingly, we find that the actin-bundling activity of Pav is required, suggesting a structural role in the physical and/or organizational aspects of NE buds. Thus, Pav and Tum are providing exciting new entry points into the physical machineries of this alternative nuclear export pathway for large cargos during cell differentiation and development.

Abstract
During development, progenitors simultaneously activate one lineage while silencing another, a feature highly regulated in adult stem cells but derailed in cancers. Equipped to bind cognate motifs in closed chromatin, pioneer factors operate at these crossroads, but how they perform fate switching remains elusive. Here we tackle this question with SOX9, a master regulator that diverts embryonic epidermal stem cells (EpdSCs) into becoming hair follicle stem cells. By engineering mice to re-activate SOX9 in adult EpdSCs, we trigger fate switching. Combining epigenetic, proteomic and functional analyses, we interrogate the ensuing chromatin and transcriptional dynamics, slowed temporally by the mature EpdSC niche microenvironment. We show that as SOX9 binds and opens key hair follicle enhancers de novo in EpdSCs, it simultaneously recruits co-factors away from epidermal enhancers, which are silenced. Unhinged from its normal regulation, sustained SOX9 subsequently activates oncogenic transcriptional regulators that chart the path to cancers typified by constitutive SOX9 expression.

Abstract
There are many things that can be used to characterize a protein. Size, isoelectric point, hydrophobicity, structure (primary to quaternary), and subcellular location are just a few parameters that are used. The most important feature of a protein, however, is its function. While there are many experiments that can indicate a protein's role, identifying the molecules it interacts with is probably the most definitive way of determining its function. Owing to technology limitations, protein interactions have historically been identified on a one molecule per experiment basis. The advent of high throughput multiplexed proteomic technologies in the 1990s, however, made identifying hundreds and thousands of proteins interactions within single experiments feasible. These proteomic technologies have dramatically increased the rate at which protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are discovered. While the improvement in mass spectrometry technology was an early driving force in the rapid pace of identifying PPIs, advances in sample preparation and chromatography have recently been propelling the field. In this chapter, we will discuss the importance of identifying PPIs and describe current state-of-the-art technologies that demonstrate what is currently possible in this important area of biological research.

Abstract
DNAzymes have been limited in application by their low catalytic rates. Here, we evolved a new peroxidase DNAzyme mSBDZ-X-3 through a directed evolution method based on the capture of self-biotinylated DNA catalyzed by its intrinsic peroxidase activity. The mSBDX-X-3 DNAzyme has a parallel G-quadruplex structure and has more favorable catalytic properties than all previously reported peroxidase DNAzyme variants. We applied mSBDZ-X-3 in an aptamer-coupled proximity-based labeling proteomic assay to determine the proteins that bind to cell surface cancer biomarkers EpCAM and nucleolin. Confocal microscopy, western blot analysis, and LC-MS/MS showed that the hybrid DNAzyme aptamer-coupled proximity assay-labeled proteins associated with EpCAM and nucleolin within 6-12 min in fixed cancer cells. The labeled proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. This study provides a highly efficient peroxidase DNAzyme, a methodology for selection of such variants, and a method for its application in spatial proteomics using entirely nucleic acid-based tooling.

Abstract
The membrane-tethered protease Tiki antagonizes Wnt3a signaling by cleaving and inactivating Wnt3a in Wnt-producing cells. Tiki also functions in Wnt-receiving cells to antagonize Wnt signaling by an unknown mechanism. Here, we demonstrate that Tiki inhibition of Wnt signaling at the cell surface requires Frizzled (FZD) receptors. Tiki associates with the Wnt-FZD complex and cleaves the N-terminus of Wnt3a or Wnt5a, preventing the Wnt-FZD complex from recruiting and activating the coreceptor LRP6 or ROR1/2 without affecting Wnt-FZD complex stability. Intriguingly, we demonstrate that the N-terminus of Wnt3a is required for Wnt3a binding to LRP6 and activating β-catenin signaling, while the N-terminus of Wnt5a is dispensable for recruiting and phosphorylating ROR1/2. Both Tiki enzymatic activity and its association with the Wnt-FZD complex contribute to its inhibitory function on Wnt5a. Our study uncovers the mechanism by which Tiki antagonizes Wnt signaling at the cell surface and reveals a negative role of FZDs in Wnt signaling by acting as Tiki cofactors. Our findings also reveal an unexpected role of the Wnt3a N-terminus in the engagement of the coreceptor LRP6.

Abstract
Metabolons are temporary structural-functional complexes of sequential enzymes of a metabolic pathway that are distinct from stable multi-enzyme complexes. Here we provide a brief history of the study of enzyme-enzyme assemblies with a particular focus on those that mediate substrate channeling in plants. Large numbers of protein complexes have been proposed for both primary and secondary metabolic pathways in plants. However, to date only four substrate channels have been demonstrated. We provide an overview of current knowledge concerning these four metabolons and explain the methodologies that are currently being applied to unravel their functions. Although the assembly of metabolons has been documented to arise through diverse mechanisms, the physical interaction within the characterized plant metabolons all appear to be driven by interaction with structural elements of the cell. We therefore pose the question as to what methodologies could be brought to bear to enhance our knowledge of plant metabolons that assemble via different mechanisms? In addressing this question, we review recent findings in non-plant systems concerning liquid droplet phase separation and enzyme chemotaxis and propose strategies via which such metabolons could be identified in plants. We additionally discuss the possibilities that could be opened up by novel approaches based on: (i) subcellular-level mass spectral imaging, (ii) proteomics, and (iii) emergent methods in structural and computational biology.

Stabilization of 14-3-3 protein-protein interactions with Fusicoccin-A decreases alpha-synuclein dependent cell-autonomous death in neuronal and mouse models. Neurobiol Dis 2023:106166.

Abstract
Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases without effective treatment characterized by the abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) protein. Changes in levels or in the amino acid sequence of aSyn (by duplication/triplication of the aSyn gene or point mutations in the encoding region) cause familial cases of synucleinopathies. However, the specific molecular mechanisms of aSyn-dependent toxicity remain unclear. Increased aSyn protein levels or pathological mutations may favor abnormal protein-protein interactions (PPIs) that could either promote neuronal death or belong to a coping response program against neurotoxicity. Therefore, the identification and modulation of aSyn-dependent PPIs can provide new therapeutic targets for these diseases. To identify aSyn-dependent PPIs we performed a proximity biotinylation assay based on the promiscuous biotinylase BioID2. When expressed as a fusion protein, BioID2 biotinylates by proximity stable and transient interacting partners, allowing their identification by streptavidin affinity purification and mass spectrometry. The aSyn interactome was analyzed using BioID2-tagged wild-type (WT) and pathological mutant E46K aSyn versions in HEK293 cells. We found the 14-3-3 epsilon isoform as a common protein interactor for WT and E46K aSyn. 14-3-3 epsilon correlates with aSyn protein levels in brain regions of a transgenic mouse model overexpressing WT human aSyn. Using a neuronal model in which aSyn cell-autonomous toxicity is quantitatively scored by longitudinal survival analysis, we found that stabilization of 14-3-3 protein-proteins interactions with Fusicoccin-A (FC-A) decreases aSyn-dependent toxicity. Furthermore, FC-A treatment protects dopaminergic neuronal somas in the substantia nigra of a Parkinson's disease mouse model. Based on these results, we propose that the stabilization of 14-3-3 epsilon interaction with aSyn might reduce aSyn toxicity, and highlight FC-A as a potential therapeutic compound for synucleinopathies.

Abstract
Methods to directly post-translationally modify proteins are perhaps the most straightforward and operationally simple ways to create and study protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, precisely altering or constructing the C-C scaffolds pervasive throughout biology is difficult with common two-electron chemical approaches. Recently, there has been a surge of new methods that have utilized single electron/radical chemistry applied to site-specifically "edit" proteins that have started to create this potential-one that in principle could be near free-ranging. This review provides an overview of current methods that install such "edits", including those that generate function and/or PTMs, through radical C-C bond formation (as well as C-X bond formation via C• where illustrative). These exploit selectivity for either native residues, or preinstalled noncanonical protein side-chains with superior radical generating or accepting abilities. Particular focus will be on the radical generation approach (on-protein or off-protein, use of light and photocatalysts), judging the compatibility of conditions with proteins and cells, and novel chemical biology applications afforded by these methods. While there are still many technical hurdles, radical C-C bond formation on proteins is a promising and rapidly growing area in chemical biology with long-term potential for biological editing.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), as the major DNA sensor, initiates DNA-stimulated innate immune responses and is essential for a healthy immune system. Although some regulators of cGAS have been reported, it still remains largely unclear how cGAS is precisely and dynamically regulated and how many potential regulators govern cGAS. Here we carry out proximity labeling of cGAS with TurboID in cells and identify a number of potential cGAS-interacting or -adjacent proteins. Deubiquitinase OTUD3, one candidate identified in cytosolic cGAS-DNA complex, is further validated to not only stabilize cGAS but also enhance cGAS enzymatic activity, which eventually promotes anti-DNA virus immune response. We show that OTUD3 can directly bind DNA and is recruited to the cytosolic DNA complex, increasing its association with cGAS. Our findings reveal OTUD3 as a versatile cGAS regulator and find one more layer of regulatory mechanism in DNA-stimulated innate immune responses.

Abstract
G-quadruplex (G4) structures exist in the single-stranded DNA of chromatin and regulate genome function. However, the native chromatin G4 landscape in living cells has yet to be fully characterized. Herein, a genetic-encoded live-cell G4 identifier probe (LiveG4ID) is constructed and its cellular localization, biocompatibility, and G4-binding specificity is evaluated. By coupling LiveG4ID with cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag), LiveG4ID-seq, a method for mapping native chromatin G4 landscape in living cells with high accuracy is established. Compared to the conventional G4 CUT&Tag method, LiveG4ID-seq can identify more chromatin G4 signals and have a higher ratio of true positive signals. Using LiveG4ID-seq, the dynamic landscape of chromatin G4 structures during the cell cycle is profiled. It is discovered that chromatin G4 structures are prevalent in the promoter regions of cell cycle-specific genes, even in the early M phase when the chromatin is condensed. These data demonstrate the capacity of LiveG4ID-seq to profile a more accurate G4 landscape in living cells and promote future studies on chromatin G4 structures.

Abstract
Mechanosensitive processes often rely on adhesion structures to strengthen, or mature, in response to applied loads. However, a limited understanding of how the molecular tensions that are experienced by a particular protein affect the recruitment of other proteins represents a major obstacle in the way of deciphering molecular mechanisms that underlie mechanosensitive processes. Here, we describe an imaging-based technique, termed fluorescence-tension co-localization (FTC), for studying molecular-tension-sensitive protein recruitment inside cells. Guided by discrete time Markov chain simulations of protein recruitment, we integrate immunofluorescence labeling, molecular tension sensors, and machine learning to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and context dependence of molecular-tension-sensitive protein recruitment. The application of FTC to the mechanical linker protein vinculin in mouse embryonic fibroblasts reveals constitutive and context-specific molecular-tension-sensitive protein recruitment that varies with adhesion maturation. FTC overcomes limitations associated with the alteration of numerous proteins during the manipulation of cell contractility, providing molecularly specific insights into tension-sensitive protein recruitment.

Abstract
The ability to define functional interactions between enzymes and their substrates is crucial for understanding biological control mechanisms; however, such methods face challenges in the transient nature and low stoichiometry of enzyme-substrate interactions. Now, we have developed an optimized strategy that couples substrate-trapping mutagenesis to proximity-labeling mass spectrometry for quantitative analysis of protein complexes involving the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B. This methodology represents a significant shift from classical schemes; it is capable of being performed at near-endogenous expression levels and increasing stoichiometry of target enrichment without a requirement for stimulation of supraphysiological tyrosine phosphorylation levels or maintenance of substrate complexes during lysis and enrichment procedures. Advantages of this new approach are illustrated through application to PTP1B interaction networks in models of HER2-positive and Herceptin-resistant breast cancer. We have demonstrated that inhibitors of PTP1B significantly reduced proliferation and viability in cell-based models of acquired and de novo Herceptin resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. Using differential analysis, comparing substrate-trapping to wild-type PTP1B, we have identified multiple unreported protein targets of PTP1B with established links to HER2-induced signaling and provided internal validation of method specificity through overlap with previously identified substrate candidates. Overall, this versatile approach can be readily integrated with evolving proximity-labeling platforms (TurboID, BioID2, etc.), and is broadly applicable across all PTP family members for the identification of conditional substrate specificities and signaling nodes in models of human disease.

Abstract
Huntingtin (Htt) is a large protein without clearly defined molecular functions. Mutation in this protein causes Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder. Identification of Htt-interacting proteins by the traditional approaches including yeast two-hybrid systems and affinity purifications has greatly facilitated the understanding of Htt function. However, these methods eliminated the intracellular spatial information of the Htt interactome during sample preparations. Moreover, the temporal changes of the Htt interactome in response to acute cellular stresses cannot be easily resolved with these approaches. Ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2)-based proximity labeling has been used to spatiotemporally investigate protein-protein interactions in living cells. In this study, we generated stable human SH-SY5Y cell lines expressing full-length Htt23Q and Htt145Q with N-terminus tagged Flag-APEX2 to quantitatively map the spatiotemporal changes of Htt interactome to a mild acute proteotoxic stress. Our data revealed that normal and mutant Htt (muHtt) are associated with distinct intracellular microenvironments. Specifically, mutant Htt is preferentially associated with intermediate filaments and myosin complexes. Furthermore, the dynamic changes of Htt interactomes in response to stress are different between normal and mutant Htt. Vimentin is identified as one of the most significant proteins that preferentially interacts with muHtt in situ. Further functional studies demonstrated that mutant Htt affects the vimentin's function of regulating proteostasis in healthy and HD human neural stem cells. Taken together, our data offer important insights into the molecular functions of normal and mutant Htt by providing a list of Htt-interacting proteins in their natural cellular context for further studies in different HD models.

Abstract
Spatial proteomics is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the localization and dynamics of proteins, and it has gained extensive attention in recent years, especially the subcellular proteomics. Numerous evidence indicate that the subcellular localization of proteins is associated with various cellular processes and disease progression. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based and imaging-based experimental approaches have been developed to acquire large-scale spatial proteomic data. To allow the reliable analysis of increasingly complex spatial proteomics data, machine learning (ML) methods have been widely used in both MS-based and imaging-based spatial proteomic data analysis pipelines. Here, we comprehensively survey the applications of ML in spatial proteomics from following aspects: (1) data resources for spatial proteome are comprehensively introduced; (2) the roles of different ML algorithms in data analysis pipelines are elaborated; (3) successful applications of spatial proteomics and several analytical tools integrating ML methods are presented; (4) challenges existing in modern ML-based spatial proteomics studies are discussed. This review provides guidelines for researchers seeking to apply ML methods to analyze spatial proteomic data and can facilitate insightful understanding of cell biology as well as the future research in medical and drug discovery communities.

Abstract
Mumps virus (MuV) is the etiological agent of mumps, a disease characterized by painful swelling of the parotid glands and often accompanied by severe complications. To understand the molecular mechanism of MuV infection, a functional analysis of the involved host factors is required. However, little is known about the host factors involved in MuV infection, especially those involved in the late stage of infection. Here, we identified 638 host proteins that have close proximity to MuV glycoproteins, which are a major component of the viral particles, by proximity labeling and examined comprehensive protein-protein interaction networks of the host proteins. From siRNA screening and immunoprecipitation results, we found that a SNARE subfamily protein, USE1, bound specifically to the MuV fusion (F) protein and was important for MuV propagation. In addition, USE1 plays a role in complete N-linked glycosylation and expression of the MuV F protein.

Systematic proximal mapping of the classical RAD51 paralogs unravel functionally and clinically relevant interactors for genome stability. PLoS Genet 2022; 18:e1010495.

Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) plays an essential role in the maintenance of genome stability by promoting the repair of cytotoxic DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). More recently, the HR pathway has emerged as a core component of the response to replication stress, in part by protecting stalled replication forks from nucleolytic degradation. In that regard, the mammalian RAD51 paralogs (RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3) have been involved in both HR-mediated DNA repair and collapsed replication fork resolution. Still, it remains largely obscure how they participate in both processes, thereby maintaining genome stability and preventing cancer development. To gain better insight into their contribution in cellulo, we mapped the proximal interactome of the classical RAD51 paralogs using the BioID approach. Aside from identifying the well-established BCDX2 and CX3 sub-complexes, the spliceosome machinery emerged as an integral component of our proximal mapping, suggesting a crosstalk between this pathway and the RAD51 paralogs. Furthermore, we noticed that factors involved RNA metabolic pathways are significantly modulated within the BioID of the classical RAD51 paralogs upon exposure to hydroxyurea (HU), pointing towards a direct contribution of RNA processing during replication stress. Importantly, several members of these pathways have prognostic potential in breast cancer (BC), where their RNA expression correlates with poorer patient outcome. Collectively, this study uncovers novel functionally relevant partners of the different RAD51 paralogs in the maintenance of genome stability that could be used as biomarkers for the prognosis of BC.

Abstract
Lysosomes are well-established as the main cellular organelles for the degradation of macromolecules and emerging as regulatory centers of metabolism. They are of crucial importance for cellular homeostasis, which is exemplified by a plethora of disorders related to alterations in lysosomal function. In this context, protein complexes play a decisive role, regulating not only metabolic lysosomal processes but also lysosome biogenesis, transport, and interaction with other organelles. Using cross-linking mass spectrometry, we analyze lysosomes and early endosomes. Based on the identification of 5376 cross-links, we investigate protein-protein interactions and structures of lysosome- and endosome-related proteins. In particular, we present evidence for a tetrameric assembly of the lysosomal hydrolase PPT1 and a heterodimeric structure of FLOT1/FLOT2 at lysosomes and early endosomes. For FLOT1-/FLOT2-positive early endosomes, we identify >300 putative cargo proteins and confirm eleven substrates for flotillin-dependent endocytosis, including the latrophilin family of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors.

Abstract
Fusarium graminearum is a fungal pathogen that causes Fusarium head blight in cereal crops. The identification of proteins secreted from pathogens to overcome plant defenses and cause disease, collectively known as effectors, can reveal the etiology of a disease process. Proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) was used to identify potential effector proteins secreted in planta by F. graminearum during the infection of Arabidopsis. Mass spectrometry analysis of streptavidin affinity-purified proteins revealed over 300 proteins from F. graminearum, of which 62 were candidate effector proteins (CEPs). An independent analysis of secreted proteins from axenic cultures of F. graminearum showed a 42% overlap with CEPs, thereby assuring confidence in the BioID methodology. The analysis also revealed that 19 out of 62 CEPs (approx. 30%) had been previously characterized with virulence function in fungi. The functional characterization of additional CEPs was undertaken through deletion analysis by the CRISPR/Cas9 method, and by overexpression into Triticum aestivum (wheat) leaves by the Ustilago hordei delivery system. Deletion studies of 12 CEPs confirmed the effector function of three previously characterized CEPs and validated the function of another four CEPs on wheat inflorescence or vegetative tissues. Lastly, overexpression in wheat showed that all seven CEPs enhanced resistance against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease represents a real threat to the global population, and understanding the biological features of the causative virus, that is, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is imperative for mitigating this threat. Analyses of proteins such as primary receptors and coreceptors (cofactors), which are involved in the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells, will provide important clues to help control the virus. Here, we identified host cell membrane protein candidates present in proximity to the attachment sites of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, using proximity labeling and proteomic analysis. The identified proteins represent key candidate factors that may be required for viral entry. We found SARS-CoV-2 host protein DPP4, cell adhesion protein Cadherin 17, and glycoprotein CD133 colocalized with cell membrane–bound SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in Caco-2 cells and thus showed potential as candidate factors. Additionally, our analysis of the experimental infection of HEK293T cells with a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus indicated a 2-fold enhanced infectivity in the CD133-ACE2-coexpressing HEK293T cells compared to that in HEK293T cells expressing ACE-2 alone. The information and resources regarding these coreceptor labeling and analysis techniques could be utilized for the development of antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging viruses.

Abstract
Core histones package chromosomal DNA and regulate genomic transactions, with their nuclear import and deposition involving importin-β proteins and a dedicated repertoire of histone chaperones. Previously, a histone H3-H4 dimer has been isolated bound to importin-4 (Imp4) and the chaperone ASF1, suggesting that H3 and H4 fold together in the cytoplasm before nuclear import. However, other studies have shown the existence of monomeric H3 in the nucleus, indicating a post-import folding pathway. Here, we report that the predominant importin associated with cytoplasmic H3 is importin-5 (Imp5), which hands off its monomeric cargo to nuclear sNASP. Imp5, in contrast to Imp4, binds to both H3 and H4 containing constitutively monomeric mutations and binds to newly synthesised, monomeric H3 tethered in the cytoplasm. Constitutively monomeric H3 retains its interaction with NASP, whereas monomeric H4 retains interactions specifically with HAT1 and RBBP7. High-resolution separation of NASP interactors shows the 's' isoform but not the 't' isoform associates with monomeric H3, whilst both isoforms associate with H3-H4 dimers in at least three discrete multi-chaperoning complexes. In vitro binding experiments show mutual exclusivity between sNASP and Imp5 in binding H3, suggesting direct competition for interaction sites, with the GTP-bound form of Ran required for histone transfer. Finally, using pulse-chase analysis, we show that cytoplasm-tethered histones do not interact with endogenous NASP until they reach the nucleus, whereupon they bind rapidly. We propose an Imp5-specific import pathway for monomeric H3 that hands off to sNASP in the nucleus, with a parallel H4 pathway involving Imp5 and the HAT1-RBBP7 complex, followed by nuclear folding and hand-off to deposition factors.

TurboID Identification of Evolutionarily Divergent Components of the Nuclear Pore Complex in the Malaria Model Plasmodium berghei. mBio 2022; 13:e0181522.

Abstract
Twenty years since the publication of the Plasmodium falciparum and P. berghei genomes one-third of their protein-coding genes still lack functional annotation. In the absence of sequence and structural homology, protein-protein interactions can facilitate functional prediction of such orphan genes by mapping protein complexes in their natural cellular environment. The Plasmodium nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a case in point: it remains poorly defined; its constituents lack conservation with the 30+ proteins described in the NPC of many opisthokonts, a clade of eukaryotes that includes fungi and animals, but not Plasmodium. Here, we developed a labeling methodology based on TurboID fusion proteins, which allows visualization of the P. berghei NPC and facilitates the identification of its components. Following affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we identified 4 known nucleoporins (Nups) (138, 205, 221, and the bait 313), and verify interaction with the putative phenylalanine-glycine (FG) Nup637; we assigned 5 proteins lacking annotation (and therefore meaningful homology with proteins outside the genus) to the NPC, which is confirmed by green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagging. Based on gene deletion attempts, all new Nups — Nup176, 269, 335, 390, and 434 — are essential to parasite survival. They lack primary sequence homology with proteins outside the Plasmodium genus; albeit 2 incorporate short domains with structural homology to human Nup155 and yeast Nup157, and the condensin SMC (Structural Maintenance Of Chromosomes 4). The protocols developed here showcase the power of proximity labeling for elucidating protein complex composition and annotation of taxonomically restricted genes in Plasmodium. It opens the door to exploring the function of the Plasmodium NPC and understanding its evolutionary position.

CRISPR-Guided Proximity Labeling of RNA–Protein Interactions. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13091549.

Abstract
Proximity labeling employs modified biotin ligases or peroxidases that produce reactive radicals to covalently label proximate proteins with biotin in living cells. The resulting biotinylated proteins can then be isolated and identified. A combination of programmable DNA targeting and proximity labeling that maps proteomic landscape at DNA elements with dCas9-APEX2 has been established in living cells. However, defining interactome at RNA elements has lagged behind. In combination with RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13, proximity labeling can also be used to identify proteins that interact with specific RNA elements in living cells. From this viewpoint, we briefly summarize the latest advances in CRISPR-guided proximity labeling in studying RNA–protein interactions, and we propose applying the most recent engineered proximity-labeling enzymes to study RNA-centric interactions in the future.

Abstract
Chemical or enzymatic biotinylation of proteins is widely used in various studies, and proximity-dependent biotinylation coupled to mass spectrometry is a powerful approach for analyzing protein-protein interactions in living cells. We recently developed a simple method to enrich biotinylated peptides using Tamavidin 2-REV, an engineered avidin-like protein with reversible biotin-binding capability. However, the level of biotinylated proteins in cells is low; therefore, large amounts of cellular proteins were required to detect biotinylated peptides. In addition, the enriched biotinylated peptide solution contained many contaminant ions. Here, we optimized the workflow for efficient enrichment of biotinylated peptides and removal of contaminant ions. The efficient recovery of biotinylated peptides with fewer contaminant ions was achieved by heat inactivation of trypsin, prewashing Tamavidin 2-REV beads, clean-up of biotin solution, mock elution, and using optimal temperature and salt concentration for elution. The optimized workflow enabled identification of nearly 4-fold more biotinylated peptides with higher purity from RAW264.7 macrophages expressing TurboID-fused STING (stimulator of interferon genes). In addition, sequential digestion with Glu-C and trypsin revealed biotinylation sites that were not identified by trypsin digestion alone. Furthermore, the combination of this workflow with TMT labeling enabled large-scale quantification of cell surface proteome changes upon epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation. This workflow will be useful for BioID and cell surface proteomics and for various other applications based on protein biotinylation.

Inner membrane complex proteomics reveals a palmitoylation regulation critical for intraerythrocytic development of malaria parasite. eLife 2022; 11:77447.

Abstract
Malaria is caused by infection of the erythrocytes by the parasites Plasmodium. Inside the erythrocytes, the parasites multiply via schizogony, an unconventional cell division mode. The inner membrane complex (IMC), an organelle located beneath the parasite plasma membrane, serving as the platform for protein anchorage, is essential for schizogony. So far, the complete repertoire of IMC proteins and their localization determinants remain unclear. Here we used biotin ligase (TurboID)-based proximity labeling to compile the proteome of the schizont IMC of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii. In total, 300 TurboID-interacting proteins were identified. 18 of 21 selected candidates were confirmed to localize in the IMC, indicating good reliability. In light of the existing palmitome of Plasmodium falciparum, 83 proteins of the P. yoelii IMC proteome are potentially palmitoylated. We further identified DHHC2 as the major resident palmitoyl-acyl-transferase of the IMC. Depletion of DHHC2 led to defective schizont segmentation and growth arrest both in vitro and in vivo. DHHC2 was found to palmitoylate two critical IMC proteins CDPK1 and GAP45 for their IMC localization. In summary, this study reports an inventory of new IMC proteins and demonstrates a central role of DHHC2 in governing the IMC localization of proteins during the schizont development.

Abstract
Molecular processes depend on the concerted and dynamic interactions of proteins, either by one-on-one interactions of the same or different proteins or by the assembly of larger protein complexes consisting of many different proteins. Here, not only the protein-protein interaction (PPI) itself, but also the localization and activity of the protein of interest (POI) within the cell is essential. Therefore, in all cell biological experiments, preserving the spatio-temporal state of one POI relative to another is key to understanding the underlying complex and dynamic regulatory mechanisms in vivo. In this review, we examine some of the applicable techniques to measure PPIs in planta as well as recent combinatorial advances of PPI methods to measure the formation of higher order complexes with an emphasis on in vivo imaging techniques. We compare the different methods and discuss their benefits and potential pitfalls to facilitate the selection of appropriate techniques by providing a comprehensive overview of how to measure in vivo PPIs in plants.
