Abstract
Trypsin digestion plays a pivotal role in successful bottom-up peptide characterization and quantitation. While denaturants are often incorporated to enhance protein solubility, surfactants are recognized to inhibit enzyme activity. However, several reports have suggested that incorporating surfactants or other solvent additives may enhance digestion and MS detection. Here, we assess the impacts of ionic surfactants on cumulative trypsin activity and subsequently evaluate the total digestion efficiency of a proteome mixture by quantitative MS. Although low surfactant concentrations, such as 0.01% SDS or 0.2% SDC, significantly enhanced the initial trypsin activity (by 14 or 42%, respectively), time course assays revealed accelerated enzyme deactivation, evident by 10- or 40-fold reductions in trypsin activity half-life at these respective surfactant concentrations. Despite enhanced initial tryptic activity, quantitative MS analysis of a common liver proteome extract, digested with various surfactants (0.01 or 0.1% SDS, 0.5% SDC), consistently revealed decreased peptide counts and signal intensity, indicative of a lower digestion efficiency compared to a nonsurfactant control. Furthermore, including detergents for digestion did not improve the detection of membrane proteins, nor hydrophobic peptides. These results stress the importance of assessing cumulative enzyme activity when optimizing the digestion of a proteome mixture, particularly in the presence of denaturants.

Abstract
Data-independent acquisition (DIA) techniques such as sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH) acquisition have emerged as the preferred strategies for proteomic analyses. Our study optimized the SWATH-DIA method using a narrow isolation window placement approach, improving its proteomic performance. We optimized the acquisition parameter combinations of narrow isolation windows with different widths (1.9 and 2.9 Da) on a ZenoTOF 7600 (Sciex); the acquired data were analyzed using DIA-NN (version 1.8.1). Narrow SWATH (nSWATH) identified 5916 and 7719 protein groups on the digested peptides, corresponding to 400 ng of protein from mouse liver and HEK293T cells, respectively, improving identification by 7.52 and 4.99%, respectively, compared to conventional SWATH. The median coefficient of variation of the quantified values was less than 6%. We further analyzed 200 ng of benchmark samples comprising peptides from known ratios ofEscherichia coli, yeast, and human peptides using nSWATH. Consequently, it achieved accuracy and precision comparable to those of conventional SWATH, identifying an average of 95,456 precursors and 9342 protein groups across three benchmark samples, representing 12.6 and 9.63% improved identification compared to conventional SWATH. The nSWATH method improved identification at various loading amounts of benchmark samples, identifying 40.7% more protein groups at 25 ng. These results demonstrate the improved performance of nSWATH, contributing to the acquisition of deeper proteomic data from complex biological samples.

Abstract
T cells are pivotal in the adaptive immune defense, necessitating a delicate balance between robust response against infections and self-tolerance. Their activation involves intricate cross-talk among signaling pathways triggered by the T-cell antigen receptors (TCR) and co-stimulatory or inhibitory receptors. The molecular regulation of these complex signaling networks is still incompletely understood. Here, we identify the adaptor protein ABIN1 as a component of the signaling complexes of GITR and OX40 co-stimulation receptors. T cells lacking ABIN1 are hyper-responsive ex vivo, exhibit enhanced responses to cognate infections, and superior ability to induce experimental autoimmune diabetes in mice. ABIN1 negatively regulates p38 kinase activation and late NF-κB target genes. P38 is at least partially responsible for the upregulation of the key effector proteins IFNG and GZMB in ABIN1-deficient T cells after TCR stimulation. Our findings reveal the intricate role of ABIN1 in T-cell regulation.

Abstract
N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), encoded by GRIN genes, are ionotropic glutamate receptors playing a critical role in synaptic transmission, plasticity, and synapse development. Genome sequence analyses have identified variants in GRIN genes in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, but the underlying disease mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we have created and evaluated a transgenic mouse line carrying a missense variant Grin2bL825V , corresponding to a de novo GRIN2B variant encoding GluN2B(L825V) found in a patient with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We used HEK293T cells expressing recombinant receptors and primary hippocampal neurons prepared from heterozygous Grin2bL825V/+ (L825V/+) and wild-type (WT) Grin2b+/+ (+/+) male and female mice to assess the functional impact of the variant. Whole-cell NMDAR currents were reduced in neurons from L825V/+ compared with +/+ mice. The peak amplitude of NMDAR-mediated evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (NMDAR-eEPSCs) was unchanged, but NMDAR-eEPSCs in L825V/+ neurons had faster deactivation compared with +/+ neurons and were less sensitive to a GluN2B-selective antagonist ifenprodil. Together, these results suggest a decreased functional contribution of GluN2B subunits to synaptic NMDAR currents in hippocampal neurons from L825V/+ mice. The analysis of the GluN2B(L825V) subunit surface expression and synaptic localization revealed no differences compared with WT GluN2B. Behavioral testing of mice of both sexes demonstrated hypoactivity, anxiety, and impaired sensorimotor gating in the L825V/+ strain, particularly affecting males, as well as cognitive symptoms. The heterozygous L825V/+ mouse offers a clinically relevant model of GRIN2B-related ID/ASD, and our results suggest synaptic-level functional changes that may contribute to neurodevelopmental pathology.

Abstract
We have developed a one-step isolation method for protein N-terminal peptides from LysargiNase digests by pipette tip-based strong cation exchange (SCX) chromatography. This CHAMP-N (CHromatographic AMplification of Protein N-terminal peptides) method using disposable and parallel-processable SCX tips instead of conventional HPLC SCX columns facilitates simple, sensitive, reproducible and high-throughput N-terminomic profiling without sacrificing the high identification numbers and selectivity achieved by the HPLC-based method. By applying the CHAMP-N method to HEK293T cells, we identified novel cleavage sites for signal and transit peptides, and non-canonical translation initiation sites. Finally, for proteome-wide terminomics, we present a simple and comprehensive N- and C-terminomics platform employing three different tip-based approaches, including CHAMP-N, in which protease digestion and one-step isolation by tip LC are commonly used to achieve complementary terminome coverages.

Abstract
The postsynaptic density (PSD) comprises numerous scaffolding proteins, receptors, and signaling molecules that coordinate synaptic transmission in the brain. Postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) is a master scaffold protein within the PSD and one of its most abundant proteins and therefore constitutes a very attractive biomarker of PSD function and its pathological changes. Here, we exploit a high-affinity inhibitor of PSD-95, AVLX-144, as a template for developing probes for molecular imaging of the PSD. AVLX-144-based probes were labeled with the radioisotopes fluorine-18 and tritium, as well as a fluorescent tag. Tracer binding showed saturable, displaceable, and uneven distribution in rat brain slices, proving effective in quantitative autoradiography and cell imaging studies. Notably, we observed diminished tracer binding in human post-mortem Parkinson's disease (PD) brain slices, suggesting postsynaptic impairment in PD. We thus offer a suite of translational probes for visualizing and understanding PSD-related pathologies.

Abstract
Female mosquitoes engage in blood feeding from their hosts to facilitate egg maturation but cease feeding once a sufficient blood meal has been acquired. Abdominal distention has been proposed as a contributing factor; however, it has also been suggested that there are chemical controls. In this study, we focus on negative chemical regulators of blood feeding, particularly those present in the host blood. Serum derived from animal blood inhibits the feeding of ATP, a phagostimulant of blood feeding in Aedes aegypti. Fibrinopeptide A (FPA), a 16-amino acid peptide cleaved from fibrinogen during blood coagulation, serves as an inhibitory factor in the serum. Our findings suggest that blood-feeding arrest in female mosquitoes is triggered by the detection of FPA in the host blood, which increases as blood coagulation proceeds in the mosquito's midgut, highlighting the role of host-derived substances as negative regulators of mosquito behavior.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer and a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are heterogeneous populations of membrane-structured vesicles that can be found in many biological fluids and are currently considered as a potential source of disease-associated biomarkers for diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to define the proteomic and phosphoproteomic landscape of urinary sEVs in patients with HCC. Mass spectrometry-based methods were used to detect the global proteome and phosphoproteome profiles of sEVs isolated by differential ultracentrifugation. Label-free quantitation analysis showed that 348 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 548 differentially expressed phosphoproteins (DEPPs) were identified in the HCC group. Among them, multiple phosphoproteins related to HCC, including HSP90AA1, IQGAP1, MTOR, and PRKCA, were shown to be upregulated in the HCC group. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the upregulated DEPPs participate in the regulation of autophagy, proteoglycans in cancer, and the MAPK/mTOR/Rap1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, kinase-substrate enrichment analysis revealed activation of MTOR, AKT1, MAP2Ks, and MAPKs family kinases in HCC-derived sEVs, indicating that dysregulation of the MAPK and mTOR signaling pathways may be the primary sEV-mediated molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of HCC. This study demonstrated that urinary sEVs are enriched in proteomic and phosphoproteomic signatures that could be further explored for their potential use in early HCC diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

[PMID: 38926604 PMCID: PMC11208570 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65769-9] [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: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Excess amounts of histones in the cell induce mitotic chromosome loss and genomic instability, and are therefore detrimental to cell survival. In yeast, excess histones are degraded by the proteasome mediated via the DNA damage response factor Rad53. Histone expression, therefore, is tightly regulated at the protein level. Our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of histone genes is far from complete. In this study, we found that calcineurin inhibitor treatment increased histone protein levels, and that the transcription factor NFATc1 (nuclear factor of activated T cells 1) repressed histone transcription and acts downstream of the calcineurin. We further revealed that NFATc1 binds to the promoter regions of many histone genes and that histone transcription is downregulated in a manner dependent on intracellular calcium levels. Indeed, overexpression of histone H3 markedly inhibited cell proliferation. Taken together, these findings suggest that NFATc1 prevents the detrimental effects of histone H3 accumulation by inhibiting expression of histone at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can affect their safety and efficacy. Glycans can occur on recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) that are used for gene therapy; however, the types of glycans that attach to rAAVs are controversial. Here, we conducted lectin microarray analyses on six rAAV serotype 6 (rAAV6) preparations that were produced differently. We demonstrate that O-glycans considered to be attached to rAAV6 were recognized by Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA) and that N-glycans were detected in rAAV6 purified without affinity chromatography. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis showed that the N-glycans detected in rAAV6 were derived from host cell proteins. A combination of ABA-based fractionation and LC-MS/MS revealed that rAAV6 was O-glycosylated with the mucin-type glycans, O-GalNAc (Tn antigen), and mono- and di-sialylated Galβ1-3GalNAc (T antigen) at S156, T162, T194, and T201 in viral protein (VP) 2 and with O-GlcNAc at T242 in VP3. The mucin-type O-glycosylated rAAV6 particles were 0.1%-1% of total particles. Further physicochemical and biological analyses revealed that mucin-type O-glycosylated rAAV6 had a lower ratio of VP1 to VP2/VP3, resulting in a lower transduction efficiency both in vitro and in vivo compared with rAAV6 without mucin-type O-glycans. This report details conclusive evidence of rAAV glycosylation and its impact on rAAV-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Inhalation of hydrogen (H2) gas is therapeutically effective for cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and neonatal brain disorders including pathologies induced by anesthetic gases. To understand the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of H2 on the brain, we investigated the molecular signals affected by H2 in sevoflurane-induced neuronal cell death. We confirmed that neural progenitor cells are susceptible to sevoflurane and undergo apoptosis in the retrosplenial cortex of neonatal mice. Co-administration of 1-8% H2 gas for 3 h to sevoflurane-exposed pups suppressed elevated caspase-3-mediated apoptotic cell death and concomitantly decreased c-Jun phosphorylation and activation of the c-Jun pathway, all of which are induced by oxidative stress. Anesthesia-induced increases in lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage were alleviated by H2 inhalation. Phosphoproteome analysis revealed enriched clusters of differentially phosphorylated proteins in the sevoflurane-exposed neonatal brain that included proteins involved in neuronal development and synaptic signaling. H2 inhalation modified cellular transport pathways that depend on hyperphosphorylated proteins including microtubule-associated protein family. These modifications may be involved in the protective mechanisms of H2 against sevoflurane-induced neuronal cell death.

Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0034624. [PMID: 38709084 PMCID: PMC11237607 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00346-24] [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: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Across the Burkholderia genus O-linked protein glycosylation is highly conserved. While the inhibition of glycosylation has been shown to be detrimental for virulence in Burkholderia cepacia complex species, such as Burkholderia cenocepacia, little is known about how specific glycosylation sites impact protein functionality. Within this study, we sought to improve our understanding of the breadth, dynamics, and requirement for glycosylation across the B. cenocepacia O-glycoproteome. Assessing the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome across different culture media using complementary glycoproteomic approaches, we increase the known glycoproteome to 141 glycoproteins. Leveraging this repertoire of glycoproteins, we quantitively assessed the glycoproteome of B. cenocepacia using Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) revealing the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome is largely stable across conditions with most glycoproteins constitutively expressed. Examination of how the absence of glycosylation impacts the glycoproteome reveals that the protein abundance of only five glycoproteins (BCAL1086, BCAL2974, BCAL0525, BCAM0505, and BCAL0127) are altered by the loss of glycosylation. Assessing ΔfliF (ΔBCAL0525), ΔmotB (ΔBCAL0127), and ΔBCAM0505 strains, we demonstrate the loss of FliF, and to a lesser extent MotB, mirror the proteomic effects observed in the absence of glycosylation in ΔpglL. While both MotB and FliF are essential for motility, we find loss of glycosylation sites in MotB or FliF does not impact motility supporting these sites are dispensable for function. Combined this work broadens our understanding of the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome supporting that the loss of glycoproteins in the absence of glycosylation is not an indicator of the requirement for glycosylation for protein function. IMPORTANCE Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen of concern within the Cystic Fibrosis community. Despite a greater appreciation of the unique physiology of B. cenocepacia gained over the last 20 years a complete understanding of the proteome and especially the O-glycoproteome, is lacking. In this study, we utilize systems biology approaches to expand the known B. cenocepacia glycoproteome as well as track the dynamics of glycoproteins across growth phases, culturing media and in response to the loss of glycosylation. We show that the glycoproteome of B. cenocepacia is largely stable across conditions and that the loss of glycosylation only impacts five glycoproteins including the motility associated proteins FliF and MotB. Examination of MotB and FliF shows, while these proteins are essential for motility, glycosylation is dispensable. Combined this work supports that B. cenocepacia glycosylation can be dispensable for protein function and may influence protein properties beyond stability.

Proteomic analysis of serum extracellular vesicles reveals Fibulin-3 as a new marker predicting liver-related events in MASLD. Hepatol Commun 2024; 8:e0448.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for novel noninvasive markers for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) to stratify patients at high risk for liver-related events including liver cancer and decompensation. In the present study, we used proteomic analysis of proteins in extracellular vesicles (EVs) to identify new biomarkers that change with fibrosis progression and can predict the development of liver-related events. METHODS We analyzed serum EVs from 50 patients with MASLD assessed for liver fibrosis by biopsy and identified proteins that altered with advanced fibrosis. A further evaluation was conducted on another cohort of 463 patients with MASLD with biopsy. RESULTS Eight candidate proteins were identified by proteomic analysis of serum EVs. Among them, serum levels of Fibulin-3, Fibulin-1, and Ficolin 1 correlated with their EV levels. In addition, serum Fibulin-3 and serum Fibulin-1 levels changed significantly with advanced fibrosis. Using another cohort with biopsy, we found that the serum Fibulin-3 concentration was significantly greater in those with advanced fibrosis but that the serum Fibulin-1 concentration was not significantly different. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that a higher Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and higher serum Fibulin-3 concentration were independent risk factors for liver-related events. When the cutoff value for the serum Fibulin-3 concentration was 6.0 µg/mL according to the Youden index of AUROCs, patients with high serum Fibulin-3 significantly more frequently developed liver-related events than did other patients. Validation using another cohort of 226 patients with clinically diagnosed MASLD confirmed that high serum Fibulin-3 levels are associated with a greater frequency of liver-related events. CONCLUSIONS Serum Fibulin-3 was identified as a biomarker for predicting liver-related events in patients with MASLD.

Group C MAP kinases phosphorylate MBD10 to regulate ABA-induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 118:1747-1759.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that promotes leaf senescence in response to environmental stress. We previously identified methyl CpG-binding domain 10 (MBD10) as a phosphoprotein that becomes differentially phosphorylated after ABA treatment in Arabidopsis. ABA-induced leaf senescence was delayed in mbd10 knockout plants but accelerated in MBD10-overexpressing plants, suggesting that MBD10 positively regulates ABA-induced leaf senescence. ABA-induced phosphorylation of MBD10 occurs in planta on Thr-89, and our results demonstrated that Thr-89 phosphorylation is essential for MBD10's function in leaf senescence. The in vivo phosphorylation of Thr-89 in MBD10 was significantly downregulated in a quadruple mutant of group C MAPKs (mpk1/2/7/14), and group C MAPKs directly phosphorylated MBD10 in vitro. Furthermore, mpk1/2/7/14 showed a similar phenotype as seen in mbd10 for ABA-induced leaf senescence, suggesting that group C MAPKs are the cognate kinases of MBD10 for Thr-89. Because group C MAPKs have been reported to function downstream of SnRK2s, our results indicate that group C MAPKs and MBD10 constitute a regulatory pathway for ABA-induced leaf senescence.

Abstract
Alternative splicing events are a major causal mechanism for complex traits, but they have been understudied due to the limitation of short-read sequencing. Here, we generate a full-length isoform annotation of human immune cells from an individual by long-read sequencing for 29 cell subsets. This contains a number of unannotated transcripts and isoforms such as a read-through transcript of TOMM40-APOE in the Alzheimer's disease locus. We profile characteristics of isoforms and show that repetitive elements significantly explain the diversity of unannotated isoforms, providing insight into the human genome evolution. In addition, some of the isoforms are expressed in a cell-type specific manner, whose alternative 3'-UTRs usage contributes to their specificity. Further, we identify disease-associated isoforms by isoform switch analysis and by integration of several quantitative trait loci analyses with genome-wide association study data. Our findings will promote the elucidation of the mechanism of complex diseases via alternative splicing.

Abstract
Hearing loss is a pivotal risk factor for dementia. It has recently emerged that a disruption in the intercommunication between the cochlea and brain is a key process in the initiation and progression of this disease. However, whether the cochlear properties can be influenced by pathological signals associated with dementia remains unclear. In this study, using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we investigated the impacts of the AD-like amyloid β (Aβ) pathology in the brain on the cochlea. Despite little detectable change in the age-related shift of the hearing threshold, we observed quantitative and qualitative alterations in the protein profile in perilymph, an extracellular fluid that fills the path of sound waves in the cochlea. Our findings highlight the potential contribution of Aβ pathology in the brain to the disturbance of cochlear homeostasis.

Abstract
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, sharing symptoms with giant cell arthritis (GCA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The pathogenic inflammatory roots are still not well understood, and there is a lack of extensive biomarker studies to explain the disease debut and post-acute phase. This study aimed to deeply analyze the serum proteome and inflammatory response of PMR patients before and after glucocorticoid treatment. We included treatment-naïve PMR patients, collecting samples before and after 3 months of treatment. For comparison, disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve RA patients were included and matched to healthy controls (CTL). The serum proteome was examined using label-free quantitative mass spectrometry, while inflammation levels were assessed using multiplex inflammatory cytokine and cell-free DNA assays. The serum proteomes of the four groups comprised acute phase reactants, coagulation factors, complement proteins, immunoglobulins, and apolipoproteins. Serum amyloid A (SAA1) was significantly reduced by active PMR treatment. Cell-free DNA levels in PMR and RA groups were significantly higher than in healthy controls due to acute inflammation. Complement factors had minimal changes post-treatment. The individual serum proteome in PMR patients showed over 100 abundantly variable proteins, emphasizing the systemic impact of PMR disease debut and the effect of treatment. Interleukin (IL)-6 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) were significantly impacted by glucocorticoid treatment. Our study defines the PMR serum proteome during glucocorticoid treatment and highlights the role of SAA1, IL-6, and IFN-γ in treatment responses. An involvement of PGLYRP2 in acute PMR could indicate a response to bacterial infection, highlighting its role in the acute phase of the immune response. The results suggest that PMR may be an aberrant response to a bacterial infection with an exacerbated IL-6 and acute phase inflammatory response and molecular attempts to limit the inflammation.

Abstract
To identify proteins by the bottom-up mass spectrometry workflow, enzymatic digestion is essential to break down proteins into smaller peptides amenable to both chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric analysis. Trypsin is the most extensively used protease due to its high cleavage specificity and generation of peptides with desirable positively charged N- and C-terminal amino acid residues that are amenable to reverse phase HPLC separation and MS/MS analyses. However, trypsin can yield variable digestion profiles and its protein cleavage activity is interdependent on trypsin source and quality, digestion time and temperature, pH, denaturant, trypsin and substrate concentrations, composition/complexity of the sample matrix, and other factors. There is therefore a need for a more standardized, general-purpose trypsin digestion protocol. Based on a review of the literature we delineate optimal conditions for carrying out trypsin digestions of complex proteomes from bulk samples to limiting amounts of protein extracts. Furthermore, we highlight recent developments and technological advances used in digestion protocols to quantify complex proteomes from single cells. SIGNIFICANCE: Currently, bottom-up MS-based proteomics is the method of choice for global proteome analysis. Since trypsin is the most utilized protease in bottom-up MS proteomics, delineating optimal conditions for carrying out trypsin digestions of complex proteomes in samples ranging from tissues to single cells should positively impact a broad range of biomedical research.

Abstract
Targeted mass spectrometry (MS)-based absolute quantitative analysis has been increasingly used in biomarker discovery. The ability to accurately measure the masses by MS enabled the use of isotope-incorporated surrogates having virtually identical physiochemical properties with the target analytes as calibrators. Such a unique capacity allowed for accurate in-sample calibration. Current in-sample calibration uses multiple isotopologues or structural analogues for both the surrogate and the internal standard. Here, we simplified this common practice by using endogenous light peptides as the internal standards and used a mathematical deduction of "heavy matching light, HML" to directly quantify an endogenous analyte. This method provides all necessary assay performance parameters in the authentic matrix, including the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and intercept of the calibration curve, by using only a single isotopologue of the analyte. This method can be applied to the quantitation of proteins, peptides, and small molecules. Using this method, we quantified the efficiency of heart tissue digestion and recovery using sodium deoxycholate as a detergent and two spiked exogenous proteins as mimics of heart proteins. The results demonstrated the robustness of the assay.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for low-input proteomics, particularly in the context of single-cell proteomics (SCP). In this study, we have developed a lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol (LMNG)-assisted sample preparation (LASP) method. This method effectively reduces protein and peptide loss in samples by incorporating LMNG, a surfactant, into the digestion solution and subsequently removing the LMNG simply via reversed phase solid-phase extraction. The advantage of removing LMNG during sample preparation for general proteomic analysis is the prevention of mass spectrometry (MS) contamination. When we applied the LASP method to the low-input SP3 method and on-bead digestion in coimmunoprecipitation-MS, we observed a significant improvement in the recovery of the digested peptides. Furthermore, we have established a simple and easy sample preparation method for SCP based on the LASP method and identified a median of 1175 proteins from a single HEK239F cell using liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS with a throughput of 80 samples per day.

Abstract
The development of a peptide retention prediction model for reversed-phase chromatography applications in proteomics is reported for peptides carrying phosphorylated Ser, Thr and Tyr-residues. The major retention features have been assessed using a collection of over 10,000 phosphorylated/non-phosphorylated peptide pairs identified in a series 1D and 2D LC-MS/MS acquisitions using formic acid as ion pairing modifier. Single modification event on average results in increased peptide retention for phosphorylation of Ser (+ 1.46), Thr (+1.33), Tyr (+0.93% acetonitrile, ACN) on gradient elution scale for Luna C18(2) stationary phase. We established several composition and sequence specific features, which drive deviations from these average values. Thus, single phosphorylation of serine results in retention shifts ranging from -2.4 to 5.5% ACN depending on position of the residue, nature of nearest neighbour residues, peptide length, hydrophobicity and pI value, and its propensity to form amphipathic helical structures. We established that the altered ion-pairing environment upon phosphorylation is detrimental for this variability. Hydrophobicity of ion-pairing modifier directly informs the magnitude of expected shifts: (most hydrophilic) 0.5 % acetic acid (larger positive shift upon phosphorylation) > 0.1 % formic acid (positive) > 0.1 % trifluoroacetic (negative) > 0.1 % heptafluorobutyric acid (larger negative shift). The effect of phosphorylation has been also evaluated for several separation conditions used in the first dimension of 2D LC applications: high pH reversed-phase (RP), hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), strong cation- and strong anion exchange separations.

Abstract
The goal of proteomics experiments is to identify proteins to observe changes in cellular processes and diseases. One challenge in proteomics is the removal of contaminants following protein extraction, which can limit protein identification. Single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3) is a clean-up technique in which proteins are captured on carboxylate-modified particles through a proposed hydrophilic-interaction-liquid-chromatography (HILIC)-like mechanism. However, recent results have suggested that proteins are captured in SP3 due to a protein-aggregation mechanism. Thus, solvent precipitation, single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP4) is a newer clean-up technique that employs protein-aggregation to capture proteins without modified particles. SP4 has previously enriched low-solubility proteins, though differences in protein capture could affect which proteins are detected and identified. We hypothesize that the mechanisms of capture for SP3 and SP4 are distinct. Herein, we assess the proteins identified and enriched using SP3 versus SP4 for MCF7 subcellular fractions and correlate protein capture in each method to protein hydrophobicity. Our results indicate that SP3 captures more hydrophilic proteins through a combination of HILIC-like and protein-aggregation mechanisms, while SP4 captures more hydrophobic proteins through a protein-aggregation mechanism. From these results, we recommend clean-up techniques based on protein-sample hydrophobicity to yield high proteome coverage in biological samples.

Abstract
The hydrolytic activity of the ATP synthase in bovine mitochondria is inhibited by a protein called IF1, but bovine IF1 has no effect on the synthetic activity of the bovine enzyme in mitochondrial vesicles in the presence of a proton motive force. In contrast, it has been suggested based on indirect observations that human IFI inhibits both the hydrolytic and synthetic activities of the human ATP synthase and that the activity of human IF1 is regulated by the phosphorylation of Ser-14 of mature IF1. Here, we have made both human and bovine IF1 which are 81 and 84 amino acids long, respectively, and identical in 71.4% of their amino acids and have investigated their inhibitory effects on the hydrolytic and synthetic activities of ATP synthase in bovine submitochondrial particles. Over a wide range of conditions, including physiological conditions, both human and bovine IF1 are potent inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis, with no effect on ATP synthesis. Also, substitution of Ser-14 with phosphomimetic aspartic and glutamic acids had no effect on inhibitory properties, and Ser-14 is not conserved throughout mammals. Therefore, it is unlikely that the inhibitory activity of mammalian IF1 is regulated by phosphorylation of this residue.

Abstract
Determination of the prognosis and treatment outcomes of dilated cardiomyopathy is a serious problem due to the lack of valid specific protein markers. Using in-depth proteome discovery analysis, we compared 49 plasma samples from patients suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy with plasma samples from their healthy counterparts. In total, we identified 97 proteins exhibiting statistically significant dysregulation in diseased plasma samples. The functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed proteins uncovered dysregulation in biological processes like inflammatory response, wound healing, complement cascade, blood coagulation, and lipid metabolism in dilated cardiomyopathy patients. The same proteome approach was employed in order to find protein markers whose expression differs between the patients well-responding to therapy and nonresponders. In this case, 45 plasma proteins revealed statistically significant different expression between these two groups. Of them, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase seems to be a promising biomarker candidate because it accumulates in plasma samples obtained from patients with insufficient treatment response and with worse or fatal outcome. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD046288.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infection, is a malignant hematologic cancer that remains difficult to cure. We herein established a biomarker identification strategy based on the total cell proteomics of cultured ATL cells to search for novel ATL biomarkers. Four protocols with a combination of selected conditions based on lysis buffers and addition agents for total cell proteomics were used for a differential analysis between the ATL cell group (consisting of 11 cell lines), HTLV-1-infected cell group (consisting of 6 cell lines), and HTLV-1-negative cell group (consisting of 6 cell lines). In the analysis, we identified 24 and 27 proteins that were significantly increased (ratio ≥2.0, p < 0.05) and decreased (ratio ≤ 0.5, p < 0.05), respectively, in the ATL group. Previously reported CCL3 and CD30/TNFRSF8 were confirmed to be among significantly increased proteins. Furthermore, correlation analysis between identified proteins and Tax suggested that RASSF2 and GORASP2 were candidates of novel Tax-regulated factors. The biomarker identification strategy established herein is expected to contribute to the identification of biomarkers for ATL and other diseases.

Abstract
The formation of hematopoietic cells relies on the chromatin remodeling activities of ISWI ATPase SMARCA5 (SNF2H) and its complexes. The Smarca5 null and conditional alleles have been used to study its functions in embryonic and organ development in mice. These mouse model phenotypes vary from embryonic lethality of constitutive knockout to less severe phenotypes observed in tissue-specific Smarca5 deletions, e.g., in the hematopoietic system. Here we show that, in a gene dosage-dependent manner, the hypomorphic allele of SMARCA5 (S5tg) can rescue not only the developmental arrest in hematopoiesis in the hCD2iCre model but also the lethal phenotypes associated with constitutive Smarca5 deletion or Vav1iCre-driven conditional knockout in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Interestingly, the latter model also provided evidence for the role of SMARCA5 expression level in hematopoietic stem cells, as the Vav1iCre S5tg animals accumulate stem and progenitor cells. Furthermore, their hematopoietic stem cells exhibited impaired lymphoid lineage entry and differentiation. This observation contrasts with the myeloid lineage which is developing without significant disturbances. Our findings indicate that animals with low expression of SMARCA5 exhibit normal embryonic development with altered lymphoid entry within the hematopoietic stem cell compartment.

Abstract
Painted turtles are remarkable for their freeze tolerance and supercooling ability along with their associated resilience to hypoxia/anoxia and oxidative stress, rendering them an ideal biomedical model for hypoxia-induced injuries (including strokes), tissue cooling during surgeries, and organ cryopreservation. Yet, such research is hindered by their seasonal reproduction and slow maturation. Here we developed and characterized adult stem cell-derived turtle liver organoids (3D self-assembled in vitro structures) from painted, snapping, and spiny softshell turtles spanning ~175My of evolution, with a subset cryopreserved. This development is, to the best of our knowledge, a first for this vertebrate Order, and complements the only other non-avian reptile organoids from snake venom glands. Preliminary characterization, including morphological, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses, revealed organoids enriched in cholangiocytes. Deriving organoids from distant turtles and life stages demonstrates that our techniques are broadly applicable to chelonians, permitting the development of functional genomic tools currently lacking in herpetological research. Such platform could potentially support studies including genome-to-phenome mapping, gene function, genome architecture, and adaptive responses to climate change, with implications for ecological, evolutionary, and biomedical research.

Abstract
To improve the coverage in bottom-up proteomics, S-aminoethylation of cysteine residues (AE-Cys) was carried out with 2-bromoethylamine, followed by cleavage with lysyl endopeptidase (Lys-C) or Lys-C/trypsin. A model study with bovine serum albumin showed that the C-terminal side of AE-Cys was successfully cleaved by Lys-C. The frequency of side reactions at amino acids other than Cys was less than that in the case of carbamidomethylation of Cys with iodoacetamide. Proteomic analysis of A549 cell extracts in the data-dependent acquisition mode after AE-Cys modification afforded a greater number of identified protein groups, especially membrane proteins. In addition, label-free quantification of proteins in mouse nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue in the data-independent acquisition mode after AE-Cys modification showed improved NSCLC pathway coverage and greater reproducibility. Furthermore, the AE-Cys method could identify an epidermal growth factor receptor peptide containing the T790 M mutation site, a well-established lung-cancer-related mutation site that has evaded conventional bottom-up methods. Finally, AE-Cys was found to fully mimic Lys in terms of collision-induced dissociation fragmentation, ion mobility separation, and cleavage by Lys-C/trypsin, except for sulfoxide formation during sample preparation.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are underrepresented during proteome characterizations, primarily owing to their lower solubility. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is favored to enhance protein solubility but interferes with downstream analysis by mass spectrometry. Here, we present an improved workflow for SDS depletion using transmembrane electrophoresis (TME) while retaining a higher recovery of membrane proteins. Though higher levels of organic solvent lower proteome solubility, we found that the inclusion of 40% methanol provided optimal solubility of membrane proteins, with 86% recovery relative to extraction with SDS. Incorporating 40% methanol during the electrophoretic depletion of SDS by TME also maximized membrane protein recovery. We further report that methanol accelerates the rate of detergent removal, allowing TME to deplete SDS below 100 ppm in under 3 min. This is attributed to a three-fold elevation in the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS in the presence of methanol, combined with a reduction in the SDS to protein binding ratio in methanol (0.3 g SDS/g protein). MS analysis of membrane proteins isolated from the methanol-assisted workflow revealed enhanced proteome detection, particularly for proteins whose pI contributed a minimal net charge and therefore possessed reduced solubility in a purely aqueous solvent. This protocol presents a robust approach for the preparation of membrane proteins by maximizing their solubility in MS-compatible solvents, offering a tool to advance membrane proteome characterization.

Abstract
The ability to monitor the response of metabolic enzymes to drug exposure in individuals is highly appealing and critical to personalized medicine. Although pharmacogenomics assesses genotypic differences, it does not report changes in metabolic enzyme activities due to environmental factors such as drug interactions. Here, we report a quantitative proteomics strategy to monitor drug metabolic pathways by profiling metabolic enzymes in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon drug exposure. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based measurement revealed that changes in metabolic enzyme abundance in EVs paralleled those in hepatic cells isolated from liver tissue. Coupling with multiplexed isotopic labeling, we temporally quantified 34 proteins involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) pathways. Out of 44 known ADME proteins in plasma EVs, previously annotated mouse cytochrome P450 3A11 (Cyp3a11), homolog to human CYP3A4, and uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP) glucuronosyltransferase 2A3 (Ugt2a3), increased upon daily rifampicin dosage. Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor to treat leukemia, also elevated Cyp3a11 levels in plasma EVs, but to a lesser extent. Altogether, this study demonstrates that measuring drug enzymes in circulating EVs as an effective surrogate is highly feasible and may transform today's drug discovery and development for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Alternative splicing can often result in the expression of distinct protein isoforms from a single gene, with specific composition and properties. SH3-containing GRB2-like protein 3-interacting protein 1 (Sgip1) is a brain-enriched protein that regulates clathrin-mediated endocytosis and interferes with the internalization of cannabinoid receptor 1. Several research groups have studied the physiological importance of Sgip1, and four Sgip1 protein isoforms have been described to date, while the NCBI Gene database predicts the expression of 20 splice variants from the Sgip1 gene in mice. In this work, we cloned 15 Sgip1 splice variants from the mouse brain, including 11 novel splice variants. The cloned splice variants differed in exon composition within two Sgip1 regions: the membrane phospholipid-binding domain and the proline-rich region. All the Sgip1 splice isoforms had similar stability and comparable ability to inhibit the internalization of cannabinoid receptor 1. None of the isoforms influenced the internalization of the µ-opioid receptor. We confirm the expression of Sgip1 splice variants described in previous studies or predicted in silico. Our data provide a basis for further studies exploring the significance of Sgip1 splicing, and we suggest a new classification of Sgip1 splice variants to unify their nomenclature.

Abstract
Osteophytes in osteoarthritis (OA) joints contribute to restriction of joint movement, joint pain, and OA progression, but little is known about osteophyte regulators. Examination of gene expression related to cartilage extracellular matrix, endochondral ossification, and growth factor signaling in articular cartilage and osteophytes obtained from OA knee joints showed that several genes such as COL1A1, VCAN, BGLAP, BMP8B, RUNX2, and SOST were overexpressed in osteophytes compared with articular cartilage. Ratios of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, which were characterized by co-expression of CD105 and CD166, were significantly higher in osteophytic cells than articular cells. A three-dimensional culture method for cartilage and osteophyte cells was developed by modification of cultures of self-assembled spheroid cell organoids (spheroids). These spheroids cultured in the media for mesenchymal stem cells containing transforming growth factor-β3 showed characteristic morphologies and gene expression profiles of articular cartilage and osteophytes, respectively. The effects of IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-6 on the spheroids of articular and osteophytic cells were studied. To the best of our knowledge, they provide the first evidence that IL-6 suppresses the spheroid size of osteophytic cells by inducing apoptosis and reducing extracellular matrix molecules. These data show that IL-6 is the suppressor of osteophyte growth and suggest that IL-6 expression and/or activity are implicated in the regulation of osteophyte formation in pathologic joints.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are hepta-helical transmembrane proteins that mediate various intracellular signaling events in response to their specific ligands including many lipid mediators. Although analyses of GPCR molecular interactions are pivotal to understanding diverse intracellular signaling events, affinity purification of interacting proteins by a conventional co-immunoprecipitation method is challenging due to the hydrophobic nature of GPCRs and their dynamic molecular interactions. Proximity labeling catalyzed by a TurboID system is a powerful technique for defining the molecular interactions of target proteins in living cells. TurboID and miniTurbo (a modified version of TurboID) are engineered biotin ligases that biotinylate neighboring proteins in a promiscuous manner. When fused with a target protein and expressed in living cells, TurboID or miniTurbo mediates the biotin labeling of the proteins with close proximity to the target protein, allowing efficient purification of the biotinylated proteins followed by a shot-gun proteomic analysis. In this chapter, we describe a step-by-step protocol for the labeling of GPCR neighboring proteins by TurboID or miniTurbo, purification of the biotin-labeled proteins, and subsequent sample preparation for proteomic analysis. We utilized S1PR1 as a model GPCR, a receptor for a bioactive lipid molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) that plays various roles in physiological and pathological conditions. This analysis pipeline enables the mapping of interacting proteins of lipid GPCRs in living cells.

GreenPhos, a universal method for in-depth measurement of plant phosphoproteomes with high quantitative reproducibility. MOLECULAR PLANT 2024; 17:199-213. [PMID: 38018035 DOI: 10.1016/j.molp.2023.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
Protein phosphorylation regulates a variety of important cellular and physiological processes in plants. In-depth profiling of plant phosphoproteomes has been more technically challenging than that of animal phosphoproteomes. This is largely due to the need to improve protein extraction efficiency from plant cells, which have a dense cell wall, and to minimize sample loss resulting from the stringent sample clean-up steps required for the removal of a large amount of biomolecules interfering with phosphopeptide purification and mass spectrometry analysis. To this end, we developed a method with a streamlined workflow for highly efficient purification of phosphopeptides from tissues of various green organisms including Arabidopsis, rice, tomato, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, enabling in-depth identification with high quantitative reproducibility of about 11 000 phosphosites, the greatest depth achieved so far with single liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) runs operated in a data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode. The mainstay features of the method are the minimal sample loss achieved through elimination of sample clean-up before protease digestion and of desalting before phosphopeptide enrichment and hence the dramatic increases of time- and cost-effectiveness. The method, named GreenPhos, combined with single-shot LC-MS, enabled in-depth quantitative identification of Arabidopsis phosphoproteins, including differentially phosphorylated spliceosomal proteins, at multiple time points during salt stress and a number of kinase substrate motifs. GreenPhos is expected to serve as a universal method for purification of plant phosphopeptides, which, if samples are further fractionated and analyzed by multiple LC-MS runs, could enable measurement of plant phosphoproteomes with an unprecedented depth using a given mass spectrometry technology.

Abstract
Respiratory complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is essential for cellular energy production and NAD+ homeostasis. Complex I mutations cause neuromuscular, mitochondrial diseases, such as Leigh Syndrome, but their molecular-level consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we use a popular complex I-linked mitochondrial disease model, the ndufs4-/- mouse, to define the structural, biochemical, and functional consequences of the absence of subunit NDUFS4. Cryo-EM analyses of the complex I from ndufs4-/- mouse hearts revealed a loose association of the NADH-dehydrogenase module, and discrete classes containing either assembly factor NDUFAF2 or subunit NDUFS6. Subunit NDUFA12, which replaces its paralogue NDUFAF2 in mature complex I, is absent from all classes, compounding the deletion of NDUFS4 and preventing maturation of an NDUFS4-free enzyme. We propose that NDUFAF2 recruits the NADH-dehydrogenase module during assembly of the complex. Taken together, the findings provide new molecular-level understanding of the ndufs4-/- mouse model and complex I-linked mitochondrial disease.

Abstract
Many ion channels and receptor proteins are potential targets for new drugs. However, standard methods for profiling these integral membrane proteins (IMPs) have not been fully established, especially when applied to rare and quantity-limited biological samples. We previously demonstrated that a mixture containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cyanate, an ionic liquid (IL), and NaOH (termed i-soln) is an excellent solubilizer for insoluble aggregates. In this study, we present a combined i-soln-assisted proteomic sample preparation platform (termed pTRUST), which is compatible with starting materials in the sub-microgram range, using our previously reported i-soln-based sample preparation strategy (iBOPs) and an in-StageTip technique. This novel and straightforward approach allows for the rapid solubilization and processing of a variety of IMPs from human samples to support highly sensitive mass spectrometry analysis. We also demonstrated that the performance of this technology surpasses that of conventional methods such as filter-aided sample preparation methods, FASP and i-FASP. The convenience and availability of pTRUST technology using the IL system have great potential for proteomic identification and characterization of novel drug targets and disease biology in research and clinical settings.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed cellular heterogeneity of mesenchymal stromal cells and immune cells in adipose tissue and emphasized the need for quantitative analysis of small numbers of functionally distinct cells using state-of-the-art "omics" technologies. Here, we present an optimized protocol for precise protein quantification from minute amounts of samples. We describe steps for isolation of mouse adipose progenitor cells, proteomics sample preparation, mass spectrometry measurement, and computational analysis. This protocol can be adapted to other samples with limited amounts. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Shan et al. (2022).1.

Development and Functional Evaluation of MDR1-expressing Microvascular Endothelial-like Cells Derived from Human iPS Cells as an In vitro Blood-brain Barrier Model. J Pharm Sci 2023; 112:3216-3223.

Abstract
In order to establish an in vitro model of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB), MDR1-overexpressing human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were generated, and they were differentiated to MDR1-expressing brain microvascular endothelial-like cells (MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs). MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs monolayers showed good barrier function in terms of tight junction protein expression and trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER). In sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS), MDR1 protein expression was markedly increased in MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs, whereas other ABC and SLC transporters showed almost identical expression between MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs and mock hiPS-BMECs, suggesting that MDR1 overexpression had little or no knock-on effect on other proteins. The basolateral-to-apical transport of MDR1 substrates, such as quinidine, [3H]digoxin and [3H]vinblastine, was higher than the apical-to-basolateral transport, and the efflux-dominant transport was attenuated by PSC833, an MDR1-specific inhibitor, indicating that MDR1-mediated efflux transport is functional. The robust MDR1 function was also supported by the efflux-dominant transports of [3H]cyclosporin A, loperamide, cetirizine, and verapamil by MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs. These results suggest that MDR1-expressing hiPS-BMECs can be used as an in vitro model of the human BBB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contact sites (MCS) are extensively studied in aerobic eukaryotes; however, little is known about MCS in anaerobes with reduced forms of mitochondria named hydrogenosomes. In several eukaryotic lineages, the direct physical tether between ER and the outer mitochondrial membrane is formed by ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES). The complex consists of four core proteins (Mmm1, Mmm2, Mdm12, and Mdm10) which are involved in phospholipid trafficking. Here we investigated ERMES distribution in organisms bearing hydrogenosomes and employed Trichomonas vaginalis as a model to estimate ERMES cellular localization, structure, and function. RESULTS Homology searches revealed that Parabasalia-Anaeramoebae, anaerobic jakobids, and anaerobic fungi are lineages with hydrogenosomes that retain ERMES, while ERMES components were gradually lost in Fornicata, and are absent in Preaxostyla and Archamoebae. In T. vaginalis and other parabasalids, three ERMES components were found with the expansion of Mmm1. Immunofluorescence microscopy confirmed that Mmm1 localized in ER, while Mdm12 and Mmm2 were partially localized in hydrogenosomes. Pull-down assays and mass spectrometry of the ERMES components identified a parabasalid-specific Porin2 as a substitute for the Mdm10. ERMES modeling predicted a formation of a continuous hydrophobic tunnel of TvMmm1-TvMdm12-TvMmm2 that is anchored via Porin2 to the hydrogenosomal outer membrane. Phospholipid-ERMES docking and Mdm12-phospholipid dot-blot indicated that ERMES is involved in the transport of phosphatidylinositol phosphates. The absence of enzymes involved in hydrogenosomal phospholipid metabolism implies that ERMES is not involved in the exchange of substrates between ER and hydrogenosomes but in the unidirectional import of phospholipids into hydrogenosomal membranes. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation demonstrated that ERMES mediates ER-hydrogenosome interactions in parabasalid T. vaginalis, while the complex was lost in several other lineages with hydrogenosomes.

Abstract
Astrocytes interact with not only synapses but also brain blood vessels through perivascular astrocyte endfeet (PV-AEF) to form the neurovascular unit (NVU). However, PV-AEF components have not been fully identified. Here, we biochemically isolated blood vessels from mouse brain homogenates and purified PV-AEF. The purified PV-AEF were observed in different sizes, similar to PV-AEF on brain blood vessels. Mass spectrometry analysis identified 9,762 proteins in the purified PV-AEF, including cell adhesion molecules, nectin-2δ, Kirrel2, and podoplanin. Immunofluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that nectin-2δ and podoplanin were concentrated mainly in arteries/arterioles and veins/venules of the mouse brain, whereas Kirrel2 was mainly in arteries/arterioles. Nectin-2α/δ, Kirrel2, and podoplanin were preferentially observed in large sizes of the purified PV-AEF. Furthermore, Kirrel2 potentially has cell adhesion activity of cultured astrocytes. Collectively, these results indicate that PV-AEF have heterogeneity in sizes and molecular components, implying different roles of PV-AEF in NVU function depending on vascular regions.

Abstract
Cancer cachexia is a complex metabolic disorder accounting for ~20% of cancer-related deaths, yet its metabolic landscape remains unexplored. Here, we report a decrease in B vitamin-related liver enzymes as a hallmark of systemic metabolic changes occurring in cancer cachexia. Metabolomics of multiple mouse models highlights cachexia-associated reductions of niacin, vitamin B6, and a glycine-related subset of one-carbon (C1) metabolites in the liver. Integration of proteomics and metabolomics reveals that liver enzymes related to niacin, vitamin B6, and glycine-related C1 enzymes dependent on B vitamins decrease linearly with their associated metabolites, likely reflecting stoichiometric cofactor-enzyme interactions. The decrease of B vitamin-related enzymes is also found to depend on protein abundance and cofactor subtype. These metabolic/proteomic changes and decreased protein malonylation, another cachexia feature identified by protein post-translational modification analysis, are reflected in blood samples from mouse models and gastric cancer patients with cachexia, underscoring the clinical relevance of our findings.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicle (EV) proteomics emerges as an effective tool for discovering potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutics. However, the current workflow of mass spectrometry-based EV proteome analysis is not fully compatible in a clinical setting due to inefficient EV isolation methods and a tedious sample preparation process. To streamline and improve the efficiency of EV proteome analysis, here we introduce a one-pot analytical pipeline integrating a robust EV isolation approach, EV total recovery and purification (EVtrap), with in situ protein sample preparation, to detect urinary EV proteome. By incorporating solvent-driven protein capture and fast on-bead digestion, the one-pot pipeline enabled the whole EV proteome analysis to be completed within one day. In comparison with the existing workflow, the one-pot pipeline was able to obtain better peptide yield and identify the equivalent number of unique EV proteins from 1 mL of urine. Finally, we applied the one-pot pipeline to profile proteomes in urinary EVs of bladder cancer patients. A total of 2774 unique proteins were identified in 53 urine samples using a 15 min gradient library-free data-independent acquisition method. Taken altogether, our novel one-pot analytical pipeline demonstrated its potential for routine and robust EV proteomics in biomedical applications.

Abstract
COVID-19 is linked to endotheliopathy and coagulopathy, which can result in multi-organ failure. The mechanisms causing endothelial damage due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remain elusive. Here, we developed an infection-competent human vascular organoid from pluripotent stem cells for modeling endotheliopathy. Longitudinal serum proteome analysis identified aberrant complement signature in critically ill patients driven by the amplification cycle regulated by complement factor B and D (CFD). This deviant complement pattern initiates endothelial damage, neutrophil activation, and thrombosis specific to organoid-derived human blood vessels, as verified through intravital imaging. We examined a new long-acting, pH-sensitive (acid-switched) antibody targeting CFD. In both human and macaque COVID-19 models, this long-acting anti-CFD monoclonal antibody mitigated abnormal complement activation, protected endothelial cells, and curtailed the innate immune response post-viral exposure. Collectively, our findings suggest that the complement alternative pathway exacerbates endothelial injury and inflammation. This underscores the potential of CFD-targeted therapeutics against severe viral-induced inflammathrombotic outcomes.

Abstract
Three representative protein kinases with different substrate preferences, ERK1 (Pro-directed), CK2 (acidophilic), and PKA (basophilic), were used to investigate phosphorylation sequence motifs in substrate pools consisting of the proteomes from three different cell lines, MCF7 (human mammary carcinoma), HeLa (human cervical carcinoma), and Jurkat (human acute T-cell leukemia). Specifically, recombinant kinases were added to the cell-extracted proteomes to phosphorylate the substrates in vitro. After trypsin digestion, the phosphopeptides were enriched and subjected to nanoLC/MS/MS analysis to identify their phosphorylation sites on a large scale. By analyzing the obtained phosphorylation sites and their surrounding sequences, phosphorylation motifs were extracted for each kinase-substrate proteome pair. We found that each kinase exhibited the same set of phosphorylation motifs, independently of the substrate pool proteome. Furthermore, the identified motifs were also consistent with those found using a completely randomized peptide library. These results indicate that cell-extracted proteomes can provide kinase phosphorylation motifs with sufficient accuracy, even though their sequences are not completely random, supporting the robustness of phosphorylation motif identification based on phosphoproteome analysis of cell extracts as a substrate pool for a kinase of interest.

Axonal transport of Frizzled5 by Alcadein α-containing vesicles is associated with kinesin-1. Mol Biol Cell 2023; 34:ar110.

Abstract
Alcadein α (Alcα) and amyloid-β protein precursor (APP) are cargo receptors that associate vesicles with kinesin-1. These vesicles, which contain either Alcα or APP, transport various proteins/cargo molecules into axon nerve terminals. Here, we analyzed immune-isolated Alcα- and APP-containing vesicles of adult mouse brains with LC-MS/MS and identified proteins present in vesicles that contained either Alcα or APP. Among these proteins, Frizzled-5 (Fzd5), a Wnt receptor, was detected mainly in Alcα vesicles. Although colocalization ratios of Fzd5 with Alcα are low in the neurites of differentiating neurons by a low expression of Fzd5 in embryonic brains, the suppression of Alcα expression decreased the localization of Fzd5 in neurites of primary cultured neurons. Furthermore, Fzd5-EGFP expressed in primary cultured neurons was preferentially transported in axons with the transport velocities of Alcα vesicles. In synaptosomal fractions of adult-mice brains that express higher levels of Fzd5, the amount of Fzd5 and the phosphorylation level of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II were reduced in the Alcα-deficient mice. These results suggest that reduced transport of Fzd5 by Alcα-containing vesicles associated with kinesin-1 in axon terminals may impair the response to Wnt ligands in the noncanonical Ca2+-dependent signal transduction pathway at nerve terminals of mature neurons.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, play key roles in signal transduction and protein homeostasis. The crosstalk of PTMs greatly expands the components of proteome and protein functions. Multi-level proteome analysis, which involves proteome investigations of total lysate and PTMs in this context, provides a comprehensive approach to explore the PTM crosstalk of a biological system under diverse disturbances. However, multi-level proteome practice remains technically challenging. Here we intended to build a strategy for multi-level proteome analysis, in which we focus on the serial profiling the total proteome, ubiquitinome and phosphoproteome from the microscale of starting material. We started by evaluating five common lysis buffers and found that the sodium deoxycholate buffer provided the best overall performance. We then developed an approach for serial enrichment and profiling of the multi-level proteome. To expand the depth of identification, we customized the variable windows to perform data-independent acquisition (DIA) sequencing for each proteome. In total, we identified 6465 proteins, ∼20,000 GlyGly sites (class 1), and ∼ 19,000 phosphosites (class 1) sequentially using 1 mg of HeLa digest by three DIA measurements. We applied this strategy to analyze MG132-treated HeLa cells and observed the crosstalk between ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Our method can be referenced for other multi-level proteome studies with microscale samples. SIGNIFICANCE: Lysis buffer containing sodium deoxycholate provided the best overall performance in multi-level proteome analysis. One step of ubiquitination enrichment before phosphorylation enrichment does not reduce the reproducibility of phosphoproteome. Customized isolation windows were established for DIA analysis on each level of proteome. Combined the serial enrichment approach and the customized single-shot DIA method enabled the multi-level proteome of microscale protein samples.

Abstract
We developed a novel purification medium of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by constructing a spongy-like monolithic polymer kneaded with TiO2 microparticles (TiO2-hybridized spongy monolith, TiO2-SPM). TiO2-SPM was applied in a solid-phase extraction format and enabled simple, rapid, and highly efficient purification of EVs. This is due to the high permeability caused by the continuous large flow-through pores of the monolithic skeleton (median pore size; 5.21 μm) and the specific interaction of embedded TiO2 with phospholipids of the lipid bilayers. Our method also excels in efficiency and comprehensiveness, collecting small EVs (SEVs) from the same volume of a cell culture medium 130.7 times more than typical ultracentrifugation and 4.3 times more than affinity purification targeting surface phosphatidylserine by magnetic beads. The purification method was completed within 1 h with simple operations and was directly applied to serum SEVs. Finally, we demonstrated flexibility toward the shape and size of our method by depleting EVs from fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is a necessary process to prevent contamination of culture cell-derived EVs with exogenous FBS-derived EVs. Our method will eliminate the tedious and difficult purification processes of EVs, providing a universal purification platform for EV-based drug discovery and pathological diagnosis.

Identification of potential molecular targets for the treatment of cluster 1 human pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma via comprehensive proteomic characterization. Clin Proteomics 2023; 20:39. [PMID: 37749499 PMCID: PMC10518975 DOI: 10.1186/s12014-023-09428-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors. New drug targets and proteins that would assist sensitive PPGL imagining could improve therapy and quality of life of patients with PPGL, namely those with recurrent or metastatic disease. Using a combined proteomic strategy, we looked for such clinically relevant targets among integral membrane proteins (IMPs) upregulated on the surface of tumor cells and non-membrane druggable enzymes in PPGL. METHODS We conducted a detailed proteomic analysis of 22 well-characterized human PPGL samples and normal chromaffin tissue from adrenal medulla. A standard quantitative proteomic analysis of tumor lysate, which provides information largely on non-membrane proteins, was accompanied by specific membrane proteome-aimed methods, namely glycopeptide enrichment using lectin-affinity, glycopeptide capture by hydrazide chemistry, and enrichment of membrane-embedded hydrophobic transmembrane segments. RESULTS The study identified 67 cell surface integral membrane proteins strongly upregulated in PPGL compared to control chromaffin tissue. We prioritized the proteins based on their already documented direct role in cancer cell growth or progression. Increased expression of the seven most promising drug targets (CD146, CD171, ANO1, CD39, ATP8A1, ACE and SLC7A1) were confirmed using specific antibodies. Our experimental strategy also provided expression data for soluble proteins. Among the druggable non-membrane enzymes upregulated in PPGL, we identified three potential drug targets (SHMT2, ARG2 and autotaxin) and verified their upregulated expression. CONCLUSIONS Application of a combined proteomic strategy recently presented as "Pitchfork" enabled quantitative analysis of both, membrane and non-membrane proteome, and resulted in identification of 10 potential drug targets in human PPGL. Seven membrane proteins localized on the cell surface and three non-membrane druggable enzymes proteins were identified and verified as significantly upregulated in PPGL. All the proteins have been previously shown to be upregulated in several human cancers, and play direct role in cancer progression. Marked upregulation of these proteins along with their localization and established direct roles in tumor progression make these molecules promising candidates as drug targets or proteins for sensitive PPGL imaging.

Proteomic alterations in the brain and blood-brain barrier during brain Aβ accumulation in an APP knock-in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Fluids Barriers CNS 2023; 20:66. [PMID: 37705104 PMCID: PMC10500766 DOI: 10.1186/s12987-023-00466-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is supposed to be an early event in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between BBB alterations and AD progression in terms of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) accumulation in the brains of humanized amyloid precursor protein knock-in (APP-KI) mice. METHODS Brain Aβ accumulation was examined using immunohistochemical analysis. Alterations in differentially expressed proteins were determined using sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectroscopy (SWATH-MS)-based quantitative proteomics, and Metascape, STRING, Gene Ontology, and KEGG were used for network analyses of altered biological pathways and processes. Statistical significance was determined using the unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test and Welch's t-test for two groups and one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's test for more than two groups. Correlations between two groups were determined using Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS Brain Aβ accumulation in APP-KI mice was detectable at 2 months, increased significantly at 5 months, and remained elevated at 12 months of age. The levels of differentially expressed proteins in isolated brain capillaries were higher in younger mice, whereas those in the brain were higher in older mice. Network analyses indicated changes in basement membrane-associated and ribosomal proteins in the brain capillaries. There were no significant changes in key proteins involved in drug or Aβ transport at the BBB. In contrast, solute carrier transporter levels in astrocytes, microglia, and neurons were altered in the brain of older mice. Moreover, the levels of the lipid transporters Apoe and Apoj were upregulated in both the brain and isolated brain capillaries after Aβ accumulation. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that changes in the brain occurred after advanced Aβ accumulation, whereas initial Aβ accumulation was sufficient to cause alterations in the BBB. These findings may help elucidate the role of BBB alterations in AD progression and predict the distribution of drugs across the BBB in the brain of patients with AD.

Brain-specific glycosylation enzyme GnT-IX maintains levels of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor PTPRZ, thereby mediating glioma growth. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:105128. [PMID: 37543361 PMCID: PMC10480537 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Gliomas are the most prevalent primary tumor of the central nervous system. Despite advances in imaging technologies, neurosurgical techniques, and radiotherapy, a cure for high-grade glioma remains elusive. Several groups have reported that protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z (PTPRZ) is highly expressed in glioblastoma, and that targeting PTPRZ attenuates tumor growth in mice. PTPRZ is modified with diverse glycan, including the PTPRZ-unique human natural killer-1 capped O-mannosyl core M2 glycans. However, the regulation and function of these unique glycans are unclear. Using CRISPR genome-editing technology, we first demonstrated that disruption of the PTPRZ gene in human glioma LN-229 cells resulted in profoundly reduced tumor growth in xenografted mice, confirming the potential of PTPRZ as a therapeutic target for glioma. Furthermore, multiple glycan analyses revealed that PTPRZ derived from glioma patients and from xenografted glioma expressed abundant levels of human natural killer-1-capped O-Man glycans via extrinsic signals. Finally, since deficiency of O-Man core M2 branching enzyme N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IX (GnT-IX) was reported to reduce PTPRZ protein levels, we disrupted the GnT-IX gene in LN-229 cells and found a significant reduction of glioma growth both in vitro and in the xenograft model. These results suggest that the PTPR glycosylation enzyme GnT-IX may represent a promising therapeutic target for glioma.
