Abstract
Bread wheat is the most widely cultivated crop worldwide, used in the production of food products and a feed source for animals. Selection tools that can be applied early in the breeding cycle are needed to accelerate genetic gain for increased wheat production while maintaining or improving grain quality if demand from human population growth is to be fulfilled. Proteomics screening assays of wheat flour can assist breeders to select the best performing breeding lines and discard the worst lines. In this study, we optimised a robust LC–MS shotgun quantitative proteomics method to screen thousands of wheat genotypes. Using 6 cultivars and 4 replicates, we tested 3 resuspension ratios (50, 25, and 17 µL/mg), 2 extraction buffers (with urea or guanidine-hydrochloride), 3 sets of proteases (chymotrypsin, Glu-C, and trypsin/Lys-C), and multiple LC settings. Protein identifications by LC–MS/MS were used to select the best parameters. A total 8738 wheat proteins were identified. The best method was validated on an independent set of 96 cultivars and peptides quantities were normalised using sample weights, an internal standard, and quality controls. Data mining tools found particularly useful to explore the flour proteome are presented (UniProt Retrieve/ID mapping tool, KEGG, AgriGO, REVIGO, and Pathway Tools).

Assessment of the Utility of the Oral Fluid and Plasma Proteomes for Hydrocodone Exposure. J Med Toxicol 2019; 16:49-60.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-medical use and abuse of prescription opioids is a growing problem in both the civilian and military communities, with minimal technologies for detecting hydrocodone use. This study explored the proteomic changes that occur in the oral fluid and blood plasma following controlled hydrocodone administration in 20 subjects. METHODS The global proteomic profile was determined for samples taken at four time points per subject: pre-exposure and 4, 6, or 168 hours post-exposure. The oral fluid samples analyzed herein provided greater differentiation between baseline and response time points than was observed with blood plasma, at least partially due to significant person-to-person relative variability in the plasma proteome. RESULTS A total of 399 proteins were identified from oral fluid samples, and the abundance of 118 of those proteins was determined to be significantly different upon metabolism of hydrocodone (4 and 6 hour time points) as compared to baseline levels in the oral fluid (pre-dose and 168 hours). CONCLUSIONS We present an assessment of the oral fluid and plasma proteome following hydrocodone administration, which demonstrates the potential of oral fluid as a noninvasive sample that may reveal features of hydrocodone in opioid use, and with additional study, may be useful for other opioids and in settings of misuse.

Abstract
Compared to free enzymes in solution, immobilized enzymes are more robust and more resistant to environmental changes. More importantly, the heterogeneity of the immo-bilized enzyme systems allows an easy recovery of both enzymes and products, multiple re-use of enzymes, continuous operation of enzymatic processes, rapid termination of reactions, and greater variety of bioreactor designs. This paper is a review of the recent literatures on enzyme immobilization by various techniques, the need for immobilization and different applications in industry, covering the last two decades. The most recent papers, patents, and reviews on immobilization strategies and application are reviewed.

Abstract
Quantitative measurement of specific protein phosphorylation sites is a primary interest of biologists, as site-specific phosphorylation information provides insights into cell signaling networks and cellular dynamics at a system level. Over the last decade, selective phosphopeptide enrichment methods including IMAC and metal oxides (TiO₂ and ZrO₂) have been developed and greatly facilitate large scale phosphoproteome analysis of various cells, tissues and living organisms, in combination with modern mass spectrometers featuring high mass accuracy and high mass resolution. Various quantification strategies have been applied to detecting relative changes in expression of proteins, peptides, and specific modifications between samples. The combination of mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteome analysis with quantification strategies provides a straightforward and unbiased method to identify and quantify site-specific phosphorylation. We describe common strategies for mass spectrometric analysis of stable isotope labeled samples, as well as two widely applied phosphopeptide enrichment methods based on IMAC(NTA-Fe³⁺) and metal oxide (ZrO₂). Instrumental configurations for on-line LC-tandem mass spectrometric analysis and parameters of conventional bioinformatic analysis of large data sets are also considered for confident identification, localization, and reliable quantification of site-specific phosphorylation.

Abstract
Cataract, the opacification of the eye lens, is the leading cause of blindness worldwide--it accounts for approximately 42% of all cases. The lens fibers have the highest protein content within the body, more than 35% of their wet weight. Given the eye lens pure composition of highly abundant structural proteins crystallins (up to 90%), it seems to be an ideal proteomic entity to study and might be also hypothesized to model the other protein conformational diseases. Crystallins are extremely long-lived, and there is virtually no protein turnover. This provides great opportunities for post-translational modifications (PTM) to occur and to predispose lens to the cataract formation. Despite recent progress in proteomics, the human lens proteome remains largely unknown. Mass spectrometry hold great promise to determine which crystallin modifications lead to a cataract. Quantitative analysis of PTMs at the peptide level with proteomics is a powerful bioanalytical tool for lens-tissue samples, and provides more comprehensive results. New mass spectrometry-based approaches that are being applied to lens research will be highlighted. Finally, the future directions of proteomics cataract research will be outlined.

Abstract
Maintenance of macrophages in their basal state and their rapid activation in response to pathogen detection are central to the innate immune system, acting to limit nonspecific oxidative damage and promote pathogen killing following infection. To identify possible age-related alterations in macrophage function, we have assayed the function of peritoneal macrophages from young (3-4 months) and aged (14-15 months) Balb/c mice. In agreement with prior suggestions, we observe age-dependent increases in the extent of recruitment of macrophages into the peritoneum, as well as ex vivo functional changes involving enhanced nitric oxide production under resting conditions that contribute to a reduction in the time needed for full activation of senescent macrophages following exposure to lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Further, we observe enhanced bactericidal activity following Salmonella uptake by macrophages isolated from aged Balb/c mice in comparison with those isolated from young animals. Pathways responsible for observed phenotypic changes were interrogated using tandem mass spectrometry, which identified age-dependent increases in levels of proteins linked to immune cell pathways under basal conditions and following LPS activation. Immune pathways upregulated in macrophages isolated from aged mice include proteins critical to the formation of the immunoproteasome. Detection of these latter proteins is dramatically enhanced following LPS exposure for macrophages isolated from aged animals; in comparison, the identification of immunoproteasome subunits is insensitive to LPS exposure for macrophages isolated from young animals. Consistent with observed global changes in the proteome, quantitative proteomic measurements indicate that there are age-dependent abundance changes involving specific proteins linked to immune cell function under basal conditions. LPS exposure selectively increases the levels of many proteins involved in immune cell function in aged Balb/c mice. Collectively, these results indicate that macrophages isolated from old mice are in a preactivated state that enhances their sensitivities to LPS exposure. The hyper-responsive activation of macrophages in aged animals may act to minimize infection by general bacterial threats that arise due to age-dependent declines in adaptive immunity. However, this hypersensitivity and the associated increase in the level of formation of reactive oxygen species are likely to contribute to observed age-dependent increases in the level of oxidative damage that underlie many diseases of the elderly.

Abstract
Stable isotope labeling (SIL) methods coupled with nanoscale liquid chromatography and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry are increasingly useful for elucidation of the proteome-wide differences between multiple biological samples. Development of more effective programs for the sensitive identification of peptide pairs and accurate measurement of the relative peptide/protein abundance are essential for quantitative proteomic analysis. We developed and evaluated the performance of a new program, termed UNiquant, for analyzing quantitative proteomics data using stable isotope labeling. UNiquant was compared with two other programs, MaxQuant and Mascot Distiller, using SILAC-labeled complex proteome mixtures having either known or unknown heavy/light ratios. For the SILAC-labeled Jeko-1 cell proteome digests with known heavy/light ratios (H/L = 1:1, 1:5, and 1:10), UNiquant quantified a similar number of peptide pairs as MaxQuant for the H/L = 1:1 and 1:5 mixtures. In addition, UNiquant quantified significantly more peptides than MaxQuant and Mascot Distiller in the H/L = 1:10 mixtures. UNiquant accurately measured relative peptide/protein abundance without the need for postmeasurement normalization of peptide ratios, which is required by the other programs.

Abstract
The retina is a highly ordered tissue whose outermost layers are formed by subcellular compartments of photoreceptors generating light-evoked electrical responses. We studied protein distributions among individual photoreceptor compartments by separating the entire photoreceptor layer of a flat-mounted frozen retina into a series of thin tangential cryosections and analyzing protein compositions of each section by label-free quantitative mass spectrometry. Based on 5038 confidently identified peptides assigned to 896 protein database entries, we generated a quantitative proteomic database (a "map") correlating the distribution profiles of identified proteins with the profiles of marker proteins representing individual compartments of photoreceptors and adjacent cells. We evaluated the applicability of several common peptide-to-protein quantification algorithms in the context of our database and found that the highest reliability was obtained by summing the intensities of all peptides representing a given protein, using at least the 5-6 most intense peptides when applicable. We used this proteome map to investigate the distribution of glycolytic enzymes, critical in fulfilling the extremely high metabolic demands of photoreceptor cells, and obtained two major findings. First, unlike the majority of neurons rich in hexokinase I, but similar to other highly metabolically active cells, photoreceptors express hexokinase II. Hexokinase II has a very high catalytic activity when associated with mitochondria, and indeed we found it colocalized with mitochondria in photoreceptors. Second, photoreceptors contain very little triosephosphate isomerase, an enzyme converting dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This may serve as a functional adaptation because dihydroxyacetone phosphate is a major precursor in phospholipid biosynthesis, a process particularly active in photoreceptors because of the constant renewal of their light-sensitive membrane disc stacks. Overall, our approach for proteomic profiling of very small tissue amounts at a resolution of a few microns, combining cryosectioning and liquid chromatography-tandem MS, can be applied for quantitative investigation of proteomes where spatial resolution is paramount.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become the tool of choice for identifying and quantifying the proteome of an organism. Though recent years have seen a tremendous improvement in instrument performance and the computational tools used, significant challenges remain, and there are many opportunities for statisticians to make important contributions. In the most widely used "bottom-up" approach to proteomics, complex mixtures of proteins are first subjected to enzymatic cleavage, the resulting peptide products are separated based on chemical or physical properties and analyzed using a mass spectrometer. The two fundamental challenges in the analysis of bottom-up MS-based proteomics are: (1) Identifying the proteins that are present in a sample, and (2) Quantifying the abundance levels of the identified proteins. Both of these challenges require knowledge of the biological and technological context that gives rise to observed data, as well as the application of sound statistical principles for estimation and inference. We present an overview of bottom-up proteomics and outline the key statistical issues that arise in protein identification and quantification.

Abstract
An ink jet printer valve and a nozzle were used to deliver matrix and sample from an electrophoresis capillary onto a MALDI plate. The system was evaluated by the separation of a set of standard peptides. That separation generated up to 40 000 theoretical plates in less than 3 min. Detection limits were 500 amol for an ABI TOF-TOF instrument and 2 fmol for an ABI Q-TOF instrument. Over 70% coverage was obtained for the tryptic digest of alpha-lactalbumin in less than 2.5 min.

Abstract
Hybrid FTMS instruments, such as the LTQ-FT and LTQ-Orbitrap, are capable of generating high duty cycle linear ion trap MS/MS data along with high resolution information without compromising the overall throughput of measurements. Combined with online LC separations, these instruments provide powerful capabilities for proteomics research. In the present work, we explore three alternative strategies for high throughput proteomics measurements using hybrid FTMS instruments. Our accurate mass and time tag (AMT tag) strategy enables identification of thousands of peptides in a single LC-FTMS analysis by comparing accurate molecular mass and LC elution time information from the analysis to a reference database. An alternative strategy considered here, termed accurate precursor mass filter (APMF), employs linear ion trap (low resolution) MS/MS identifications generated by an appropriate search engine, such as SEQUEST, refined with high resolution precursor ion data obtained from FTMS mass spectra. The APMF results can be additionally filtered using the LC elution time information from the AMT tag database, which constitutes a precursor mass and time filter (PMTF), the third approach implemented in this study. Both the APMF and the PMTF approaches are evaluated for coverage and confidence of peptide identifications and contrasted with the AMT tag strategy. The commonly used decoy database method and an alternative method based on mass accuracy histograms were used to reliably quantify identification confidence, revealing that both methods yielded similar results. Comparison of the AMT, APMF and PMTF approaches indicates that the AMT tag approach is preferential for studies desiring a highest achievable number of identified peptides. In contrast, the APMF approach does not require an AMT tag database and provides a moderate level of peptide coverage combined with acceptable confidence values of approximately 99%. The PMTF approach yielded a significantly better peptide identification confidence, >99.9%, that essentially excluded any false peptide identifications. Since AMT tag databases that exclude incorrect identifications are desirable, this study points to the value of a multipass APMF approach to generate AMT tag databases, which are then validated using the PMTF approach. The resulting compact, high quality databases can then be used for subsequent high-throughput, high peptide coverage AMT tag studies.
