Abstract
The symbiosis of probiotic bacteria with humans has rendered various health benefits while providing nutrition and a suitable environment for their survival. However, the probiotics must survive unfavorable gut conditions to exert beneficial effects. The intrinsic resistance of probiotics to survive harsh conditions results from a myriad of proteins. Interaction of microbial proteins with the host is indispensable for modulating the gut microbiome, such as interaction with cell receptors and protective action against pathogens. The complex interplay of proteins should be unraveled by utilizing metaproteomic strategies. The contribution of probiotics to health is now widely accepted. However, due to the inconsistency of generalized probiotics, contemporary research toward precision probiotics has gained momentum for customized treatment. This review explores the application of metaproteomics and AI/ML algorithms in resolving multiomics data analysis and in silico prediction of microbial features for screening specific beneficial probiotic organisms. Implementing these integrative strategies could augment the potential of precision probiotics for personalized healthcare.

Abstract
Protein digestion in mass spectrometry (MS)-based bottom-up proteomics targets mainly lysine and arginine residues, yielding primarily 0.6-3 kDa peptides for the proteomes of organisms of all major kingdoms. Recent advances in MS technology enable analysis of complex mixtures of increasingly longer (>3 kDa) peptides in a high-throughput manner supporting the development of a middle-down proteomics (MDP) approach. Generating longer peptides is a paramount step in launching an MDP pipeline, but the quest for the selection of a cleaving agent that would provide the desired 3-15 kDa peptides remains open. Recent bioinformatics studies have shown that cleavage at the rarely occurring amino acid residues such as methionine (Met), tryptophan (Trp), or cysteine (Cys) would be suitable for MDP approach. Interestingly, chemical-mediated proteolytic cleavages uniquely allow targeting these rare amino acids, for which no specific proteolytic enzymes are known. Herein, as potential candidates for MDP-grade proteolysis, we have investigated the performance of chemical agents previously reported to target primarily Met, Trp, and Cys residues: CNBr, BNPS-Skatole (3-bromo-3-methyl-2-(2-nitrophenyl)sulfanylindole), and NTCB (2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid), respectively. Figures of merit such as digestion reproducibility, peptide size distribution, and occurrence of side reactions are discussed. The NTCB-based MDP workflow has demonstrated particularly attractive performance, and NTCB is put forward here as a potential cleaving agent for further MDP development.

Abstract
A simple method for effective analysis of various proteins has been developed, including membrane proteins, with LC-MS/MS, using CNBr and acetic acid cleavage in one reaction for the digestion of both the M/ and /D/ positions within the target proteins. This dual chemical reaction has been compared with traditional CNBr or an acid cleavage method using a rat kidney membrane fraction and it showed an advantage of the dual reaction with respect to a high number of peptides detected and a high protein recovery. Furthermore, when this dual chemical reaction was combined with trypsin digestion, the number of proteins surprisingly increased approximately 3.0 times more than in the cases with the trypsin digestion only. It was also 1.9 times more than in cases dealing with Tube-Gel trypsin digestion, which is one of the most efficient digestion methods. In addition, it was shown that this dual chemical reaction could be applied to an in-gel digestion. Using the combination of the chemical and enzyme reaction, 172 proteins including 95 membrane proteins were identified. This indicated that this method is one of the efficient systems in single MS/MS analysis. In particular, many membrane proteins identified in this study were detected by a new combination, but not by a traditional trypsin digestion method.

Abstract
The analysis of proteins in biological membranes forms a major challenge in proteomics. Despite continuous improvements and the development of more sensitive analytical methods, the analysis of membrane proteins has always been hampered by their hydrophobic properties and relatively low abundance. In this review, we describe recent successful strategies that have led to in-depth analyses of the membrane proteome. To facilitate membrane proteome analysis, it is essential that biochemical enrichment procedures are combined with special analytical workflows that are all optimized to cope with hydrophobic polypeptides. These include techniques for protein solubilization, and also well-matched developments in protein separation and protein digestion procedures. Finally, we discuss approaches to target membrane-protein complexes and lipid-protein interactions, as such approaches offer unique insights into function and architecture of cellular membranes.

Abstract
The lack of basic amino acids in seed storage proteins has resulted in the proposal to use chymotrypsin in their study. A comparative study of trypsin and chymotrypsin digestion initially confirmed this preference; however, reanalysis of the trypsin data set defining the specificity as 'semitrypsin' provided enough extra data to bridge the gap between both proteases. Rationale as to why numerous semitryptic peptides are observed in the study of these proteins is provided.

Abstract
In the postgenome era, the analysis of entire subproteomes in correlation with their function has emerged due to high throughput technologies. Early approaches have been initiated to identify novel components of the circadian system. For example, in the marine dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra, a chronobiological proteome assay was performed, which resulted in the identification of already known circadian expressed proteins as well as novel temporal controlled proteins involved in metabolic pathways. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, two circadian expressed proteins (a protein disulfide isomerase and a tetratricopeptide repeat protein) were identified by functional proteomics. Also, the first hints of temporal control within chloroplast proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana were identified by proteome analysis.

Abstract
There is intense interest in comprehensive proteomic approaches for analyzing integral membrane proteins and lipoproteins. Key features of mass spectrometric analysis center on enriching biological material for proteins of interest, efficiently digesting them, extracting the resulting peptides, and using fractionation methods to comprehensively sample proteins or peptides by tandem mass spectrometry. However, lipid-associated proteins are generally rich in hydrophobic domains and are often low in abundance. These features, together with the associated lipid, make their mass spectrometric analysis technically challenging. In this article, we review analytical strategies for successful proteomic analysis of lipid-associated proteins.

Abstract
Along with a large number of carriers, exchangers and "pumps", the inner mitochondrial membrane contains ion-conducting channels which endow it with controlled permeability to small ions. Some have been shown to be the mitochondrial counterpart of channels present also in other cellular membranes. The manuscript summarizes the current state of knowledge on the major inner mitochondrial membrane channels, properties, identity and proposed functions. Considerable attention is currently being devoted to two K(+)-selective channels, mtK(ATP) and mtBK(Ca). Their activation in "preconditioning" is considered by many to underlie the protection of myocytes and other cells against subsequent ischemic damage. We have recently shown that in apoptotic lymphocytes inner membrane mtK(V)1.3 interacts with the pro-apoptotic protein Bax after the latter has inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane. Whether the just-discovered mtIK(Ca) has similar cellular role(s) remains to be seen. The Ca(2+) "uniporter" has been characterized electrophysiologically, but still awaits a molecular identity. Chloride-selective channels are represented by the 107 pS channel, the first mitochondrial channel to be observed by patch-clamp, and by a approximately 400 pS pore we have recently been able to fully characterize in the inner membrane of mitochondria isolated from a colon tumour cell line. This we propose to represent a component of the Permeability Transition Pore. The available data exclude the previous tentative identification with porin, and indicate that it coincides instead with the still molecularly unidentified "maxi" chloride channel.

Abstract
The progression of stem cells to proliferating progenitor cells and finally to a quiescent differentiated state is a hallmark of organ development. This process proceeds through distinct steps and is regulated through cell-cell interactions and by systemically and locally acting factors. We have established a cell culture system which recapitulates features of mammary gland development in vitro and allows the comparison of three characteristic differentiation stages. Cell fate decisions relating to proliferation and differentiation are dependent on the function of proteins in the nucleus. Therefore, we have applied proteomic approaches, including 1- and 2-DE coupled with MS and a gel-free system, called protein sequence tag technology (PST), to assess the changes in the nuclear protein composition during differentiation of mammary epithelial cells. We identified about 250 individual proteins which are present in the nucleus of proliferating and functionally differentiated mammary epithelial cells. We functionally categorised the differentially expressed proteins and identified a multitude of proteins that regulate gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level. This analysis greatly enriches our global view of the dynamic changes of nuclear proteins during the development of mammary epithelial cells and suggests models for the control of differentiation-specific protein expression.

Abstract
As proteomics matures from a purely descriptive to a function-oriented discipline of the life sciences, there is strong demand for novel methodologies that increase the depth of information that can be obtained from proteomic studies. MS has long played a central role for protein identification and characterization, often in combination with dedicated chemical modification reactions. Today, chemistry is helping to advance the field of proteomics in numerous ways. In this review, we focus on those methodologies that have a significant impact for the large-scale study of proteins and peptides. This includes approaches that allow the introduction of affinity tags for the enrichment of subclasses of peptides or proteins and strategies for in vitro stable isotope labeling for quantification purposes, among others. Particular attention is given to the study of PTMs where recent advancements have been promising, but many interesting targets are not yet being addressed.

Abstract
Diagonal peptide chromatography consists of two consecutive, identical peptide separations with in between an enzymatic or chemical alteration of the side-chain structure of selected peptides. Such selected and altered peptides acquire different chromatographic properties thereby segregating from non-altered peptides in a series of secondary peptide separations. Originally described by Brown and Hartley in 1966, we have modified the technique such that it can be used for higher throughput gel-free proteomics. Our technique is termed COmbined FRActional DIagonal Chromatography (COFRADIC) and exploits evoked differences of the hydrophobicity of peptides in reverse-phase liquid chromatography. One important advantage of COFRADIC is its versatility: by changing the alteration reaction, different classes of peptides are sorted and finally analyzed. We previously published protocols and applications for separating methionyl, cysteinyl, amino terminal and phosphorylated peptides. In this review, we assess the potential of COFRADIC for the analysis of several posttranslational modifications emphasizing on in vivo protein processing events. Additional modifications that can be analyzed include phosphorylation and N-glycosylation. The potential of COFRADIC for isolating peptides holding such modified amino acids are discussed here.

Abstract
Membrane proteins play an important role in cellular function. However, their analysis by mass spectrometry often is hindered by their hydrophobicity and/or low abundance. In this article, we present a method for the mass spectrometric analysis of membrane proteins based on the isolation of the resident membranes, isolation of the proteins by gel electrophoresis, and electroelution followed by enzymatic digestion by both trypsin and proteinase K. With this method, we have achieved 82-99% sequence coverage for the membrane proteins carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I), long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LCAS), and voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), isolated from rat liver mitochondrial outer membranes, including the transmembrane domains of these integral membrane proteins. This high sequence coverage allowed the identification of the isoforms of the proteins under study. This methodology provides a targeted approach for examining membrane proteins in detail.

Abstract
A microchip reactor has been developed on the basis of a layer-by-layer approach for fast and sensitive digestion of proteins. The resulting peptide analysis has been carried out by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Natural polysaccharides, positively charged chitosan (CS), and negatively charged hyaluronic acid (HA) were multilayer-assembled onto the surface of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) microfluidic chip to form a microstructured and biocompatible network for enzyme immobilization. The construction of CS/HA assembled multilayers on the PET substrate was characterized by AFM imaging, ATR-IR, and contact angle measurements. The controlled adsorption of trypsin in the multilayer membrane was monitored using a quartz crystal microbalance and an enzymatic activity assay. The maximum proteolytic velocity of the adsorbed trypsin was approximately 600 mM/min mug, thousands of times faster than that in solution. BSA, myoglobin, and cytochrome c were used as model substrates for the tryptic digestion. The standard proteins were identified at a low femtomole per analysis at a concentration of 0.5 ng/muL with the digestion time <5s. This simple technique may offer a potential solution for low-level protein analysis.

Abstract
Proteome analysis of Gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogen Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) live vaccine strain has been performed only on whole-cell extracts so far. This is the first study dealing with the analysis of the membrane subproteome of this microorganism. A fraction enriched in membrane proteins obtained by carbonate extraction was separated using two-dimensional electrophoresis and all visualized spots were identified by mass spectrometry. The reference map is the basis for further comparative analyses of virulent and non-virulent F. tularensis strains.

Abstract
Comparative proteome profiling using stable isotope peptide labelling and mass spectrometry has emerged as a promising strategy. Here, we show the broad potential of our proprietary protein sequence tag (PST) technology. A special feature of PST is its ability to detect a wide variety of proteins including the pharmaceutically relevant membrane and nuclear proteins. This procedure addresses a similar number of proteins, compared to the multidimensional protein identification technology approach, but offers additionally a quantitative analysis with its recently developed quantitative PST version.
