Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0193123. [PMID: 38376171 PMCID: PMC10952391 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01931-23] [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: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
White-rot fungi employ secreted carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) along with reactive oxygen species (ROS), like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), to degrade lignocellulose in wood. H2O2 serves as a co-substrate for key oxidoreductases during the initial decay phase. While the degradation of lignocellulose by CAZymes is well documented, the impact of ROS on the oxidation of the secreted proteins remains unclear, and the identity of the oxidized proteins is unknown. Methionine (Met) can be oxidized to Met sulfoxide (MetO) or Met sulfone (MetO2) with potential deleterious, antioxidant, or regulatory effects. Other residues, like proline (Pro), can undergo carbonylation. Using the white-rot Pycnoporus cinnabarinus grown on aspen wood, we analyzed the Met content of the secreted proteins and their susceptibility to oxidation combining H218O2 with deep shotgun proteomics. Strikingly, their overall Met content was significantly lower (1.4%) compared to intracellular proteins (2.1%), a feature conserved in fungi but not in metazoans or plants. We evidenced that a catalase, widespread in white-rot fungi, protects the secreted proteins from oxidation. Our redox proteomics approach allowed the identification of 49 oxidizable Met and 40 oxidizable Pro residues within few secreted proteins, mostly CAZymes. Interestingly, many of them had several oxidized residues localized in hotspots. Some Met, including those in GH7 cellobiohydrolases, were oxidized up to 47%, with a substantial percentage of sulfone (13%). These Met are conserved in fungal homologs, suggesting important functional roles. Our findings reveal that white-rot fungi safeguard their secreted proteins by minimizing their Met content and by scavenging ROS and pinpoint redox-active residues in CAZymes.IMPORTANCEThe study of lignocellulose degradation by fungi is critical for understanding the ecological and industrial implications of wood decay. While carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) play a well-established role in lignocellulose degradation, the impact of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on secreted proteins remains unclear. This study aims at evaluating the effect of H2O2 on secreted proteins, focusing on the oxidation of methionine (Met). Using the model white-rot fungi Pycnoporus cinnabarinus grown on aspen wood, we showed that fungi protect their secreted proteins from oxidation by reducing their Met content and utilizing a secreted catalase to scavenge exogenous H2O2. The research identified key oxidizable Met within secreted CAZymes. Importantly, some Met, like those of GH7 cellobiohydrolases, undergone substantial oxidation levels suggesting important roles in lignocellulose degradation. These findings highlight the adaptive mechanisms employed by white-rot fungi to safeguard their secreted proteins during wood decay and emphasize the importance of these processes in lignocellulose breakdown.

Abstract
Post-translational oxidation of methionine residues can destabilize proteins or modify their functions. Although levels of methionine oxidation can provide important information regarding the structural integrity and regulation of proteins, their quantitation is often challenging as analytical procedures in and of themselves can artifactually oxidize methionines. Here, we develop a mass-spectrometry-based method called Methionine Oxidation by Blocking with Alkylation (MObBa) that quantifies methionine oxidation by selectively alkylating and blocking unoxidized methionines. Thus, alkylated methionines can be used as a stable proxy for unoxidized methionines. Using proof of concept experiments, we demonstrate that MObBa can be used to measure methionine oxidation levels within individual synthetic peptides and on proteome-wide scales. MObBa may provide a straightforward experimental strategy for mass spectrometric quantitation of methionine oxidation.

Abstract
The folding of most proteins occurs during the course of their translation while their tRNA-bound C termini are embedded in the ribosome. How the close proximity of nascent proteins to the ribosome influences their folding thermodynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we have developed a mass spectrometry-based approach for determining the stabilities of nascent polypeptide chains using methionine oxidation as a folding probe. This approach enables quantitative measurement subglobal folding stabilities of ribosome nascent chains within complex protein mixtures and extracts. To validate the methodology, we analyzed the folding thermodynamics of three model proteins (dihydrofolate reductase, chemotaxis protein Y, and DNA polymerase IV) in soluble and ribosome-bound states. The data indicate that the ribosome can significantly alter the stability of nascent polypeptides. Ribosome-induced stability modulations were highly variable among different folding domains and were dependent on localized charge distributions within nascent polypeptides. The results implicated electrostatic interactions between the ribosome surface and nascent polypeptides as the cause of ribosome-induced stability modulations. The study establishes a robust proteomic methodology for analyzing localized stabilities within ribosome-bound nascent polypeptides and sheds light on how the ribosome influences the thermodynamics of protein folding.

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a selective radiotherapy based on nuclear reaction that occurs when 10B atoms accumulated in cancer cells are irradiated by thermal neutrons, triggering a nuclear fission response leading to cell death. Despite its growing importance in cancer treatment, molecular characterization of its effects is still lacking. In this context, proteomics investigation can be useful to study BNCT effect and identify potential biomarkers. Hence, we performed proteomic analysis with nanoLC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry) on extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from SAS cultures treated or not with 10B-boronophenylalanine (BPA) and different doses of neutron irradiation, to study the cellular response related to both boron administration and neutrons action. Despite the interference of fetal bovine serum in the medium, we were able to stratify BPA- and BPA+ conditions and to identify EVs-derived proteins characterizing pathways potentially related to a BNCT effect such as apoptosis, DNA repair and inflammatory response. In particular, KLF11, SERPINA1 and SERPINF2 were up-regulated in BPA+, while POLE and SERPINC1 were up-regulated in BPA-. These results provide the first proteomic investigation of EVs treated with BNCT in different conditions and highlight the potentiality of proteomics for improving biomarkers identification and mechanisms understanding of BNCT.

Abstract
Methionine (Met) can be oxidized to methionine sulfoxide (MetO), which exist as R- and S-diastereomers. Present in all three domains of life, methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSR) are the enzymes that reduce MetO back to Met. Most characterized among them are MSRA and MSRB, which are strictly stereospecific for the S- and R-diastereomers of MetO, respectively. While the majority of MSRs use a catalytic Cys to reduce their substrates, some employ selenocysteine. This is the case of mammalian MSRB1, which was initially discovered as selenoprotein SELR or SELX and later was found to exhibit an MSRB activity. Genomic analyses demonstrated its occurrence in most animal lineages, and biochemical and structural analyses uncovered its catalytic mechanism. The use of transgenic mice and mammalian cell culture revealed its physiological importance in the protection against oxidative stress, maintenance of neuronal cells, cognition, cancer cell proliferation, and the immune response. Coincident with the discovery of Met oxidizing MICAL enzymes, recent findings of MSRB1 regulating the innate immunity response through reversible stereospecific Met-R-oxidation of cytoskeletal actin opened up new avenues for biological importance of MSRB1 and its role in disease. In this review, we discuss the current state of research on MSRB1, compare it with other animal Msrs, and offer a perspective on further understanding of biological functions of this selenoprotein.
