Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) cascades are essential signal transduction components that control a variety of cellular responses in all eukaryotes. MPKs convert extracellular stimuli into cellular responses by the phosphorylation of downstream substrates. Although MPK cascades are predicted to be very complex, only limited numbers of MPK substrates have been identified in plants. Here, we used the kinase client (KiC) assay to identify novel substrates of MPK3 and MPK6. Recombinant MPK3 or MPK6 were tested against a large synthetic peptide library representing in vivo phosphorylation sites, and phosphorylated peptides were identified by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. From this screen, we identified 23 and 21 putative client peptides of MPK3 and MPK6, respectively. To verify the phosphorylation of putative client peptides, we performed in vitro kinase assay with recombinant fusion proteins of isolated client peptides. We found that 13 and 9 recombinant proteins were phosphorylated by MPK3 and MPK6. Among them, 11 proteins were proven to be the novel substrates of two MPKs. This study suggests that the KiC assay is a useful method to identify new substrates of MPKs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Provirus integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus (PIM) family serine/threonine kinases perform protumorigenic functions in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors by phosphorylating substrates involved in tumor metabolism, cell survival, metastasis, inflammation, and immune cell invasion. However, a comprehensive understanding of PIM kinase functions is currently lacking. Multiple small-molecule PIM kinase inhibitors are currently being evaluated as cotherapeutics in patients with cancer. To further illuminate PIM kinase functions in cancer, we deeply profiled PIM1 substrates using the reverse in-gel kinase assay to identify downstream cellular processes targetable with small molecules. Pathway analyses of putative PIM substrates nominated RNA splicing and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing as PIM-regulated cellular processes. PIM inhibition elicited reproducible splicing changes in PIM-inhibitor-responsive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. PIM inhibitors synergized with splicing modulators targeting splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1) and serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) to kill AML cells. PIM inhibition also altered rRNA processing, and PIM inhibitors synergized with an RNA polymerase I inhibitor to kill AML cells and block AML tumor growth. These data demonstrate that deep kinase substrate knowledge can illuminate unappreciated kinase functions, nominating synergistic cotherapeutic strategies. This approach may expand the cotherapeutic armamentarium to overcome kinase inhibitor-resistant disease that limits durable responses in malignant disease.

Decoding Arabidopsis thaliana CPK/SnRK Superfamily Kinase Client Signaling Networks Using Peptide Library and Mass Spectrometry. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1481.

Abstract
Members of the calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK/CPK) and SNF-related protein kinase (SnRK) superfamilies are commonly found in plants and some protists. Our knowledge of client specificity of the members of this superfamily is fragmentary. As this family is represented by over 30 members in Arabidopsis thaliana, the identification of kinase-specific and overlapping client relationships is crucial to our understanding the nuances of this large family of kinases as directed towards signal transduction pathways. Herein, we used the kinase client (KiC) assay-a relative, quantitative, high-throughput mass spectrometry-based in vitro phosphorylation assay-to identify and characterize potential CPK/SnRK targets of Arabidopsis. Eight CPKs (1, 3, 6, 8, 17, 24, 28, and 32), four SnRKs (subclass 1 and 2), and PPCK1 and PPCK2 were screened against a synthetic peptide library that contains 2095 peptides and 2661 known phosphorylation sites. A total of 625 in vitro phosphorylation sites corresponding to 203 non-redundant proteins were identified. The most promiscuous kinase, CPK17, had 105 candidate target proteins, many of which had already been discovered. Sequence analysis of the identified phosphopeptides revealed four motifs: LxRxxS, RxxSxxR, RxxS, and LxxxxS, that were significantly enriched among CPK/SnRK clients. The results provide insight into both CPK- and SnRK-specific and overlapping signaling network architectures and recapitulate many known in vivo relationships validating this large-scale approach towards discovering kinase targets.

Abstract
Tunnel oxide passivated contacts (TOPCon) have gained interest as a way to increase the energy conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells, and the International Technology Roadmap of Photovoltaics forecasts TOPCon to become an important technology despite a few remaining challenges. To review the recent development of TOPCon cells, this work has compiled a dataset of all device data found in current literature, which sums up to 405 devices from 131 papers. This may seem like a surprisingly small number of cells given the recent interest in the TOPCon architecture, but it illustrates a problem of data dissemination in the field. Notwithstanding the limited number of cells, there is a great diversity in cell manufacturing procedures, and this work observes a gradual increase in performance indicating that the field has not yet converged on a set of best practices. By analyzing the data using statistical methods and machine learning (ML) algorithms, this work is able to reinforces some commonly held hypotheses related to the performance differences between different device architectures. This work also identifies a few more unintuitive feature combinations that would be of interest for further experimentally studies. This work also aims to inspire improvements in data management and dissemination within the TOPCon community.

Abstract
Drug resistance remains one of the main causes of poor outcome in cancer therapy. It is also becoming evident that drug resistance to both chemotherapy and to antibiotics is driven by more than one mechanism. So far, there are at least eight recognized mechanisms behind such resistance. In this review, we choose to discuss one of these mechanisms, which is known to be partially driven by a class of transmembrane proteins known as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. In normal tissues, ABC transporters protect the cells from the toxic effects of xenobiotics, whereas in tumor cells, they reduce the intracellular concentrations of anticancer drugs, which ultimately leads to the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). A deeper understanding of the structures and the biology of these proteins is central to current efforts to circumvent resistance to both chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and antibiotics. Understanding the biology and the function of these proteins requires detailed structural and conformational information for this class of membrane proteins. For many years, such structural information has been mainly provided by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. More recently, mass spectrometry-based methods assumed an important role in the area of structural and conformational characterization of this class of proteins. The contribution of this technique to structural biology has been enhanced by its combination with liquid chromatography and ion mobility, as well as more refined labelling protocols and the use of more efficient fragmentation methods, which allow the detection and localization of labile post-translational modifications. In this review, we discuss the contribution of mass spectrometry to efforts to characterize some members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins and why such a contribution is relevant to efforts to clarify the link between the overexpression of these proteins and the most widespread mechanism of chemoresistance.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) facilitates the rapid identification of posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which play a pivotal role in regulating numerous biological processes. This chapter explores recent advancements that expand the types of detectable PTMs and enhance the speed of the PTM searches. We also delve into computational challenges associated with searching for a multitude of PTMs simultaneously. The latter section introduces an automated procedure to identify an extensive range of PTMs using MODplus, a free PTM analysis software tool. We guide the reader through the preparation of the modification search, the determination of optional search parameters, the execution of the search, and the analysis of results, exemplified by a case study using specific MS/MS dataset.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using fragmentation has become one of the most effective methods for gaining sequence and structural information on biomolecules. Ion/ion reactions are competitive reactions, where either proton transfer (PT) or electron transfer (ET) can occur from interactions between multiply charged cations and singly charged anions. Utilizing ion/ion reactions with fluoranthene has offered a unique method of fragment formation for the structural elucidation of biomolecules. Fluoranthene is considered an ideal anion reagent because it selectively causes electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) and minimizes PT when interacting with peptides. However, limited investigations have sought to understand how fluoranthene─the primary, commercially available anion reagent─interacts with other biomolecules. Here, we apply deuterium labeling to investigate ion/ion reaction mechanisms between fluoranthene and divalent, metal-adducted carbohydrates (Ca2+, Mg2+, Co2+, and Ni2+). Deuterium labeling of carbohydrates allowed us to observe evidence of hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) occurring after ion/ion dissociation reactions. The extent of deuterium loss is dependent on several factors, including the physical properties of the metal ion and the fragment structure. Based on the deuterium labeling data, we have proposed ETD, PTD, and intermolecular PT─also described as HDX─mechanisms. This research provides a fundamental perspective of ion/ion and ion/molecule reaction mechanisms and illustrates properties that impact ion/ion and ion/molecule reactions for carbohydrates. Together, this could improve the capability to distinguish complex and heterogeneous biomolecules, such as carbohydrates.

Abstract
In mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, complex lipid mixtures undergo chromatographic separation, are ionized, and are detected using tandem MS (MSn) to simultaneously quantify and structurally characterize eluting species. The reported structural granularity of these identified lipids is strongly reliant on the analytical techniques leveraged in a study. For example, lipid identifications from traditional collisionally activated data-dependent acquisition experiments are often reported at either species level or molecular species level. Structural resolution of reported lipid identifications is routinely enhanced by integrating both positive and negative mode analyses, requiring two separate runs or polarity switching during a single analysis. MS3+ can further elucidate lipid structure, but the lengthened MS duty cycle can negatively impact analysis depth. Recently, functionality has been introduced on several Orbitrap Tribrid mass spectrometry platforms to identify eluting molecular species on-the-fly. These real-time identifications can be leveraged to trigger downstream MSn to improve structural characterization with lessened impacts on analysis depth. Here, we describe a novel lipidomics real-time library search (RTLS) approach, which utilizes the lipid class of real-time identifications to trigger class-targeted MSn and to improve the structural characterization of phosphotidylcholines, phosphotidylethanolamines, phosphotidylinositols, phosphotidylglycerols, phosphotidylserine, and sphingomyelins in the positive ion mode. Our class-based RTLS method demonstrates improved selectivity compared to the current methodology of triggering MSn in the presence of characteristic ions or neutral losses.

Abstract
Neural network and decision tree-based soft computing techniques are implemented in this work for the thorough analysis of the multichannel anion-sensing characteristics of an Os(II)-bipyridine complex derived from imidazole-4,5-bis(benzimidazole) ligand. With the aid of three imidazole NH protons in its outer coordination sphere, a substantial change in the spectral response as well as OsII/OsIII potential is made possible upon treating with anions of varying basicity. Initial hydrogen bonding between NH protons and anions and thereafter complete proton transfer from the complex backbone probably take place in the process. The deprotonation of the complex by specific anions and restoration to its original form by acid is also reversible. The responsiveness of the new compound is complex enough to imitate multiple sophisticated binary and ternary Boolean logic (BL) functions (NOT logic, combinational logic, traffic signal, set-reset flip-flop logic, and ternary NOR logic) by employing its spectral and redox outputs upon the action of suitable anions and acid in a proper sequence. Executing sensing investigations on altering the amount of the anions within a widespread range is often time-consuming and tedious. To overcome the lacuna, we implemented multiple soft computing techniques, viz., fuzzy logic (FL), artificial neural networks (ANNs), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and decision tree (DT) regression, for the thorough analysis and prediction of the experimentally observed results. The outcomes obtained from different techniques were compared among themselves as well as with the experimental data and utilized for the proper modeling of the anion-sensing behaviors of the complex.

Abstract
Seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) modify female phenotypes and have wide-ranging evolutionary implications on fitness in many insects. However, in the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens, a highly destructive agricultural pest, the functions of Sfps are still largely unknown. To gain insights into female phenotypes regulated by Sfps, we used nano-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to conduct a proteomic analysis of the soluble proteins from reproductive organs of A. ludens. The proteins predicted to be transferred from males to females during copulation were 100 proteins from the accessory glands, 69 from the testes and 20 from the ejaculatory bulb, resulting in 141 unique proteins after accounting for redundancies from multiple tissues. These 141 included orthologues to Drosophila melanogaster proteins involved mainly in oogenesis, spermatogenesis, immune response, lifespan and fecundity. In particular, we found one protein associated with female olfactory response to repellent stimuli (Scribble), and two related to memory formation (aPKC and Shibire). Together, these results raise the possibility that A. ludens Sfps could play a role in regulating female olfactory responses and memory formation and could be indicative of novel evolutionary functions in this important agricultural pest.

Abstract
Traditionally, data acquisition in mass spectrometry-based proteomics is directed by user-defined parameters and relatively simple decision making, such as selection of the highest MS1 peaks for fragmentation. In recent years, access to two-way-communication with instrument codebases has led to a surge in algorithms instructing more complex decision processes on-the-fly. A closer matching between the time windows for monitoring peptides in targeted proteomics and their actual chromatographic elution peaks has been addressed through dynamic retention time scheduling and through triggered acquisition. Strategies based on real-time database searching and spectral matching have, among others, been used to adjust acquisition parameters for selected peptides for improved quantitative accuracy. While initial studies were mainly performed on a proof-of-concept level, dynamic acquisition approaches recently became more broadly available through software and increasing integration into standard instrument control and are likely to transform the field of proteomics in the coming years.

Abstract
Ion-ion reactions are valuable tools in mass-spectrometry-based peptide and protein sequencing. To boost the generation of sequence-informative fragment ions from low charge-density precursors, supplemental activation methods, via vibrational and photoactivation, have become widely adopted. However, long-lived radical peptide cations undergo intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer from c-type ions to z•-type ions. Here we investigate the degree of hydrogen transfer for thousands of unique peptide cations where electron transfer dissociation (ETD) was performed and was followed by beam-type collisional activation (EThcD), resonant collisional activation (ETcaD), or concurrent infrared photoirradiation (AI-ETD). We report on the precursor charge density and the local amino acid environment surrounding bond cleavage to illustrate the effects of intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer for various precursor ions. Over 30% of fragments from EThcD spectra comprise distorted isotopic distributions, whereas over 20% of fragments from ETcaD have distorted distributions and less than 15% of fragments derived from ETD and AI-ETD reveal distorted isotopic distributions. Both ETcaD and EThcD give a relatively high degree of hydrogen migration, especially when D, G, N, S, and T residues were directly C-terminal to the cleavage site. Whereas all postactivation methods boost the number of c- and z•-type fragment ions detected, the collision-based approaches produce higher rates of hydrogen migration, yielding fewer spectral identifications when only c- and z•-type ions are considered. Understanding hydrogen rearrangement between c- and z•-type ions will facilitate better spectral interpretation.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling activates multiple downstream cellular targets in response to different stimuli. Specific phosphorylation of key target proteins via activation of the cAMP effector protein kinase A (PKA) is achieved via signal compartmentalization. Termination of the cAMP signal is mediated by phosphodiesterases (PDEs), a diverse group of enzymes comprising several families that localize to distinct cellular compartments. By studying the effects of inhibiting individual PDE families on the phosphorylation of specific targets it is possible to gain information on the subcellular spatial organization of this signaling pathway.We describe a phosphoproteomic approach that can detect PDE family-specific phosphorylation changes in cardiac myocytes against a high phosphorylation background. The method combines dimethyl labeling and titanium dioxide-mediated phosphopeptide enrichment, followed by tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Glycation of human Aβ (hAβ) is implicated to induce the deposition of amyloid aggregates found in the Alzheimer's disease (AD)-affected brain. Murine Aβ (mAβ) differs from hAβ in three different amino acid residues (Gly5, Phe10, and Arg13) and is less likely to form amyloid aggregates. Herein, we report that the advanced glycated end products of mAβ40 over hAβ40 are distinctly generated. The different glycation between the two peptides can govern their aggregation kinetics, structural transition, and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Detection of arrival time shifts between ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) separations can limit achievable resolving power (Rp), particularly when multiple separations are summed or averaged, as commonly practiced in IMS. Such variations can be apparent in higher Rp measurements and are particularly evident in long path length traveling wave structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) IMS due to their typically much longer separation times. Here, we explore data processing approaches employing single value alignment (SVA) and nonlinear dynamic time warping (DTW) to correct for variations between IMS separations, such as due to pressure fluctuations, to enable more effective spectrum summation for improving Rp and detection of low-intensity species. For multipass SLIM IMS separations, where narrow mobility range measurements have arrival times that can extend to several seconds, the SVA approach effectively corrected for such variations and significantly improved Rp for summed separations. However, SVA was much less effective for broad mobility range separations, such as obtained with multilevel SLIM IMS. Changes in ions' arrival times were observed to be correlated with small pressure changes, with approximately 0.6% relative arrival time shifts being common, sufficient to result in a loss of Rp for summed separations. Comparison of the approaches showed that DTW alignment performed similarly to SVA when used over a narrow mobility range but was significantly better (providing narrower peaks and higher signal intensities) for wide mobility range data. We found that the DTW approach increased Rp by as much as 115% for measurements in which 50 IMS separations over 2 s were summed. We conclude that DTW is superior to SVA for ultra-high-resolution broad mobility range SLIM IMS separations and leads to a large improvement in effective Rp, correcting for ion arrival time shifts regardless of the cause, as well as improving the detectability of low-abundance species. Our tool is publicly available for use with universal ion mobility format (.UIMF) and text (.txt) files.

Abstract
Mexico presents the highest richness of Opuntia Mill. species. These species are an important economic factor for the country, and source of nutrients, bioactive compounds, pigments, and nutraceuticals which can be of interest for the food and pharmaceutical industry. However, there are some wild Opuntia species in the Chihuahua desert, that have not been analyzed to establish their properties and potential use. The aim of study was to evaluate the sensory, physicochemical and protein profile in wild prickly pear fruits (O. macrocentra Engelm. (OM), O. phaeacantha Engelm. (OP), and O. engelmannii Salm-Dyck ex Engelmann. (OE)) from Samalayuca, Chihuahua and compare them with two commercial prickly pear fruits (O. ficus-indica (L.) Mill. (green-OFG, red-OFR). The sensory profile of wild species was characterized by highest color, odor, and sour taste compared to the commercial fruits. Pulp, peel, and seeds from wild prickly pear fruits showed lower pH, and higher titratable total acidity, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, protein, lipids, ash, carbohydrates (only peel), and crude fiber content than commercial Opuntia species. Furthermore, O. engelmannii showed a tendency to present the highest betacyanins, betaxanthins, and betalains contents. A total of 181, 122, 113, 183 and 140 different proteins were identified in OM, OP, OE, OFG, OFR species, respectively. All species showed the highest enrichment in three main pathways such as amino acids biosynthesis, glycolysis (dark)/gluconeogenesis (light), and the citric acid cycle. The wild prickly pear fruits of this study showed important nutritional, protein, and antioxidant properties with biological interest, and can be a potential source of functional ingredients and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
Anastrepha ludens is a key pest of mangoes and citrus from Texas to Costa Rica but the mechanisms of odorant perception in this species are poorly understood. Detection of volatiles in insects occurs mainly in the antenna, where molecules penetrate sensillum pores and link to soluble proteins in the hemolymph until reaching specific odor receptors that trigger signal transduction and lead to behavioral responses. Scrutinizing the molecular foundation of odorant perception in A. ludens is necessary to improve biorational management strategies against this pest. After exposing adults of three maturity stages to a proteinaceous attractant, we studied antennal morphology and comparative proteomic profiles using nano-LC-MS/MS with tandem mass tags combined with synchronous precursor selection (SPS)-MS3. Antennas from newly emerged flies exhibited dense agglomerations of olfactory sensory neurons. We discovered 4618 unique proteins in the antennas of A. ludens and identified some associated with odor signaling, including odorant-binding and calcium signaling related proteins, the odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco), and putative odorant-degrading enzymes. Antennas of sexually immature flies exhibited the most upregulation of odor perception proteins compared to mature flies exposed to the attractant. This is the first report where critical molecular players are linked to the odor perception mechanism of A. ludens.

Abstract
O-glycosylation is a highly diverse and complex form of protein post-translational modification. Mucin-type O-glycosylation is initiated by the transfer of N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc) to the hydroxyl group of serine, threonine and tyrosine residues through catalysis by a family of glycosyltransferases, the UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (E.C. 2.4.1.41) that are conserved across metazoans. In the last decade, structural characterization of glycosylation has substantially advanced due to the development of analytical methods and advances in mass spectrometry. However, O-glycosite mapping remains challenging since mucin-type O-glycans are densely packed, often protecting proteins from cleavage by proteases. Adding to the complexity is the fact that a given glycosite can be modified by different glycans, resulting in an array of glycoforms rising from one glycosite. In this study, we investigated conditions of solid phase extraction (SPE) enrichment, protease digestion, and Electron-transfer/Higher Energy Collision Dissociation (EThcD) fragmentation to optimize identification of O-glycosites in densely glycosylated proteins. Our results revealed that anion-exchange stationary phase is sufficient for glycopeptide enrichment; however, the use of a hydrophobic-containing sorbent was detrimental to the binding of polar-hydrophilic glycopeptides. Different proteases can be employed for enhancing coverage of O-glycosites, while derivatization of negatively charged amino acids or sialic acids would enhance the identification of a short O-glycopeptides. Using a longer than normal electron transfer dissociation (ETD) reaction time, we obtained enhanced coverage of peptide bonds that facilitated the localization of O-glycosites. O-glycosite mapping strategy via proteases, cut-off filtration and solid-phase chemoenzymatic processing. Glycopeptides are enriched by SPE column, followed by release of N-glycans, collection of higher MW O-glycopeptides via MW cut-off filter, O-glycopeptide release via O-protease, and finally detected by LC-MS/MS using EThcD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Saliva contains a very complex mixture of proteins for defense against microbiological pathogens and for oral food perception. Howler monkeys are Neotropical primates that can consume a mostly leaf diet. They are well known to thrive in highly disturbed habitats where they may cope with a diversity of dietary challenges and infection risks. We aimed to describe the salivary proteome of howlers to contribute to better understanding of their physiology. METHODS We analyzed the salivary proteins of wild black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra), by SDS-PAGE-1-D and Nano LC-MS/MS and categorized them by their function involved in host defense and oral food perception. RESULTS Our proteomic analysis identified 156 proteins in howler saliva including a number of host defense peptides that are the first line of defense in mammals, such as defensin, cathelicidin, dermcidin, and lactotransferrin, and proteins with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral capacity, such as IgA, IgG, IgM, BPI, salivary heat shock 70 kDa protein, beta-2-microbulin, and protein S-100. We also identified key proteins necessary for taste perception, including salivary carbonic anhydrase VI, cystatin D, IgA, and fatty acid-binding protein. Proteins to detect astringent foods were identifying, including four members of cystatins (A, B, C and D), lactoperoxidase, and histidine-rich proteins. No chitinase and amylase were identified as would be expected because howlers do not eat insects and little starch. These findings provide basic information to future studies in oral biology, ingestive physiology, and physiological ecology of mammals and non-human primates.

Abstract
Modern omics technologies allow us to obtain global information on different types of biological networks. However, integrating these different types of analyses into a coherent framework for a comprehensive biological interpretation remains challenging. Here, we present a conceptual framework that integrates protein interaction, phosphoproteomics, and transcriptomics data. Applying this method to analyze HRAS signaling from different subcellular compartments shows that spatially defined networks contribute specific functions to HRAS signaling. Changes in HRAS protein interactions at different sites lead to different kinase activation patterns that differentially regulate gene transcription. HRAS-mediated signaling is the strongest from the cell membrane, but it regulates the largest number of genes from the endoplasmic reticulum. The integrated networks provide a topologically and functionally resolved view of HRAS signaling. They reveal distinct HRAS functions including the control of cell migration from the endoplasmic reticulum and TP53-dependent cell survival when signaling from the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
Neurotoxic implications of the interactions between Cu(I/II) and amyloid-β (Aβ) indicate a connection between amyloid cascade hypothesis and metal ion hypothesis with respect to the neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we report a mechanistic strategy for modifying the first coordination sphere of Cu(II) bound to Aβ utilizing a rationally designed peptide modifier, L1. Upon reacting with L1, a metal-binding histidine (His) residue, His14, in Cu(II)-Aβ was modified through either covalent adduct formation, oxidation, or both. Consequently, the reactivity of L1 with Cu(II)-Aβ was able to disrupt binding of Cu(II) to Aβ and result in chemically modified Aβ with altered aggregation and toxicity profiles. Our molecular-level mechanistic studies revealed that such L1-mediated modifications toward Cu(II)-Aβ could stem from the molecule's ability to 1) interact with Cu(II)-Aβ and 2) foster copper-O2 chemistry. Collectively, our work demonstrates the development of an effective approach to modify Cu(II)-Aβ at a metal-binding amino acid residue and consequently alter Aβ's coordination to copper, aggregation, and toxicity, supplemented with an in-depth mechanistic perspective regarding such reactivity.

Abstract
Tau aggregation into insoluble filaments is the defining pathological hallmark of tauopathies. However, it is not known what controls the formation and templated seeding of strain-specific structures associated with individual tauopathies. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structures of tau filaments from corticobasal degeneration (CBD) human brain tissue. Cryo-EM and mass spectrometry of tau filaments from CBD reveal that this conformer is heavily decorated with posttranslational modifications (PTMs), enabling us to map PTMs directly onto the structures. By comparing the structures and PTMs of tau filaments from CBD and Alzheimer's disease, it is found that ubiquitination of tau can mediate inter-protofilament interfaces. We propose a structure-based model in which cross-talk between PTMs influences tau filament structure, contributing to the structural diversity of tauopathy strains. Our approach establishes a framework for further elucidating the relationship between the structures of polymorphic fibrils, including their PTMs, and neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) within arginine (Arg)-rich RNA-binding proteins, such as phosphorylation and methylation, regulate multiple steps in RNA metabolism. However, the identification of PTMs within Arg-rich domains with complete trypsin digestion is extremely challenging due to the high density of Arg residues within these proteins. Here, we report a middle-down proteomic approach coupled with electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) mass spectrometry to map previously unknown sites of phosphorylation and methylation within the Arg-rich domains of U1-70K and structurally similar RNA-binding proteins from nuclear extracts of human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T cells. Notably, the Arg-rich domains in RNA-binding proteins are densely modified by methylation and phosphorylation compared with the remainder of the proteome, with methylation and phosphorylation favoring RSRS motifs. Although they favor a common motif, analysis of combinatorial PTMs within RSRS motifs indicates that phosphorylation and methylation do not often co-occur, suggesting that they may functionally oppose one another. Furthermore, we show that phosphorylation may modify interactions between Arg-rich proteins, as serine-arginine splicing factor 2 (SRSF2) has a stronger association with U1-70K and LUC7L3 upon dephosphorylation. Collectively, these findings suggest that the level of PTMs within Arg-rich domains may be among the highest in the proteome and a possible unexplored regulator of RNA-binding protein interactions.

Abstract
This review is devoted to trapping mass spectrometry wherein ions are confined by electromagnetic fields for prolonged periods of time within limited volume, with mass measurement taking place within the same volume. Three major types of trapping mass spectrometers are discussed, specifically radiofrequency ion trap, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and Orbitrap. While these three branches are intricately interwoven with each other over their recent history, they also differ greatly in their fundamentals, roots and historical origin. This diversity is reflected also in the difference of viewpoints from which each of these directions is addressed in this review. Following the theme of the issue, we focus on developments mainly associated with the country of Germany but, at the same time, we use this review as an illustration of the rapidly increasing globalization of science and expanding multi-national collaborations.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is often performed in a shotgun format, in which as many peptide precursors as possible are selected from full or MS1 scans so that their fragment spectra can be recorded in MS2 scans. Although achieving great proteome depths, shotgun proteomics cannot guarantee that each precursor will be fragmented in each run. In contrast, targeted proteomics aims to reproducibly and sensitively record a restricted number of precursor/fragment combinations in each run, based on prescheduled mass-to-charge and retention time windows. Here we set out to unify these two concepts by a global targeting approach in which an arbitrary number of precursors of interest are detected in real-time, followed by standard fragmentation or advanced peptide-specific analyses. We made use of a fast application programming interface to a quadrupole Orbitrap instrument and real-time recalibration in mass, retention time and intensity dimensions to predict precursor identity. MaxQuant.Live is freely available (www.maxquant.live) and has a graphical user interface to specify many predefined data acquisition strategies. Acquisition speed is as fast as with the vendor software and the power of our approach is demonstrated with the acquisition of breakdown curves for hundreds of precursors of interest. We also uncover precursors that are not even visible in MS1 scans, using elution time prediction based on the auto-adjusted retention time alone. Finally, we successfully recognized and targeted more than 25,000 peptides in single LC-MS runs. Global targeting combines the advantages of two classical approaches in MS-based proteomics, whereas greatly expanding the analytical toolbox.

Abstract
There is a growing interest for investigating endogenous peptides from human biofluids which may provide yet unknown functional benefits or provide an early indication of disease states as potential biomarkers. A major technical bottleneck in the investigation of endogenous peptides from body fluids, e.g., serum, urine, saliva, and milk, is that each of these fluids seems to require unique workflows for peptide extraction and analysis. Thus, protocols optimized for serum cannot be directly translated to milk. One biofluid that is readily available, but which has not been extensively explored, is human milk, whose analysis could contribute to our understanding of the immune development of the newborn infant. Due to the occurrence of highly abundant lipids, proteins, and saccharides, milk peptidomics requires dedicated sample preparation steps. The aim of this study was to develop a time and cost-efficient workflow for the analysis of the human milk peptidome, for which we compared peptide extraction methodologies and peptide fragmentation methods. A method using strong acid protein precipitation and analysis by collision-induced dissociation fragmentation was found to be superior to all other test methods, allowing us qualitative and quantitative detection of about 4000 endogenous human milk peptides in a total analysis time of just 18 h.

Abstract
Addition of follicular fluid to oocyte maturation medium can affect cumulus cell function, increase competence of the oocytes to be fertilised and develop to the blastocyst stage and protect the oocyte from heat shock. Here, it was tested whether exosomes in follicular fluid are responsible for the effects of follicular fluid on the function of the cumulus–oocyte complex (COC). This was accomplished by culturing COCs during oocyte maturation at 38.5°C (body temperature of the cow) or 41°C (heat shock) with follicular fluid or exosomes derived from follicular fluid and evaluating various aspects of function of the oocyte and the embryo derived from it. Negative effects of heat shock on cleavage and blastocyst development, but not cumulus expansion, were reduced by follicular fluid and exosomes. The results support the idea that exosomes in follicular fluid play important roles during oocyte maturation to enhance oocyte function and protect it from stress.

Abstract
Thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSRs), small adhesive protein domains with a wide range of functions, are usually modified with O-linked fucose, which may be extended to O-fucose-β1,3-glucose. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of O-fucosylated peptides cannot be sequenced by standard tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) sequence database search engines because O-linked glycans are highly labile in the gas phase and are effectively absent from the CID peptide fragment spectra, resulting in a large mass error. Electron transfer dissociation (ETD) preserves O-linked glycans on peptide fragments, but only a subset of tryptic peptides with low m/ z can be reliably sequenced from ETD spectra compared to CID. Accordingly, studies to date that have used MS to identify O-fucosylated TSRs have required manual interpretation of CID mass spectra even when ETD was also employed. In order to facilitate high-throughput, automatic identification of O-fucosylated peptides from CID spectra, we re-engineered the MS/MS sequence database search engine Comet and the MS data analysis suite Trans-Proteomic Pipeline to enable automated sequencing of peptides exhibiting the neutral losses characteristic of labile O-linked glycans. We used our approach to reanalyze published proteomics data from Plasmodium parasites and identified multiple glycoforms of TSR-containing proteins.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a key catabolic recycling pathway that requires fine-tuned regulation to prevent pathologies and preserve homeostasis. Here, we report a new post-transcriptional pathway regulating autophagy involving the Pat1-Lsm (Lsm1 to Lsm7) mRNA-binding complex. Under nitrogen-starvation conditions, Pat1-Lsm binds a specific subset of autophagy-related (ATG) transcripts and prevents their 3' to 5' degradation by the exosome complex, leading to ATG mRNA stabilization and accumulation. This process is regulated through Pat1 dephosphorylation, is necessary for the efficient expression of specific Atg proteins, and is required for robust autophagy induction during nitrogen starvation. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first example of ATG transcript regulation via 3' binding factors and exosomal degradation.

BMC Genomics 2018; 19:842. [PMID: 30482156 PMCID: PMC6260746 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-018-5229-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2018] [Accepted: 11/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyropia yezoensis is an important marine crop which, due to its high protein content, is widely used as a seafood in China. Unfortunately, red rot disease, caused by Pythium porphyrae, seriously damages P. yezoensis farms every year in China, Japan, and Korea. Proteomic methods are often used to study the interactions between hosts and pathogens. Therefore, an iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis was used to identify pathogen-responsive proteins following the artificial infection of P. yezoensis with P. porphyrae spores. RESULTS A total of 762 differentially expressed proteins were identified, of which 378 were up-regulated and 384 were down-regulated following infection. A large amount of these proteins were involved in disease stress, carbohydrate metabolism, cell signaling, chaperone activity, photosynthesis, and energy metabolism, as annotated in the KEGG database. Overall, the data showed that P. yezoensis resists infection by inhibiting photosynthesis, and energy and carbohydrate metabolism pathways, as supported by changes in the expression levels of related proteins. The expression data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD009363. CONCLUSIONS The current data provide an overall summary of the red algae responses to pathogen infection. This study improves our understanding of infection resistance in P. yezoensis, and may help in increasing the breeding of P. porphyrae-infection tolerant macroalgae.

Abstract
Electron attachment dissociation (electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD)) applied to gaseous multiply protonated peptides leads predominantly to backbone N-Cα bond cleavages and the formation of c- and z-type fragment ions. The mechanisms involved in the formation of these ions have been the subject of much discussion. Here, we determine the molecular structures of an extensive set of c-type ions produced by ETD using infrared ion spectroscopy. Nine c3- and c4-ions are investigated to establish their C-terminal structure as either enol-imine or amide isomers by comparison of the experimental infrared spectra with quantum-chemically predicted spectra for both structural variants. The spectra suggest that all c-ions investigated possess an amide structure; the absence of the NH bending mode at approximately 1000-1200 cm-1 serves as an important diagnostic feature.

Abstract
The dynamic posttranslational modification O-linked β- N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is present on thousands of intracellular proteins in the brain. Like phosphorylation, O-GlcNAcylation is inducible and plays important functional roles in both physiology and disease. Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS) and bioconjugation methods are now enabling the mapping of O-GlcNAcylation events to individual sites in proteins. However, our understanding of which glycosylation events are necessary for regulating protein function and controlling specific processes, phenotypes, or diseases remains in its infancy. Given the sheer number of O-GlcNAc sites, methods for identifying promising sites and prioritizing them for time- and resource-intensive functional studies are greatly needed. Revealing sites that are dynamically altered by different stimuli or disease states will likely go a long way in this regard. Here, we describe advanced methods for identifying O-GlcNAc sites on individual proteins and across the proteome and for determining their stoichiometry in vivo. We also highlight emerging technologies for quantitative, site-specific MS-based O-GlcNAc proteomics (O-GlcNAcomics), which allow proteome-wide tracking of O-GlcNAcylation dynamics at individual sites. These cutting-edge technologies are beginning to bridge the gap between the high-throughput cataloguing of O-GlcNAcylated proteins and the relatively low-throughput study of individual proteins. By uncovering the O-GlcNAcylation events that change in specific physiological and disease contexts, these new approaches are providing key insights into the regulatory functions of O-GlcNAc in the brain, including their roles in neuroprotection, neuronal signaling, learning and memory, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Developing tumors continuously release nano-sized vesicles that represent circulating "fingerprints" of the tumor's identity. In gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), we have previously reported that these tumors release "oncosomes" carrying the constitutively activated tyrosine kinase (TK) receptor KIT. Despite the clinical utility of TK inhibitors, such as imatinib mesylate (IM), recurrence and metastasis are clinical problems that urge the need to identify new tumor-derived molecules. To this aim, we performed the first high quality proteomic study of GIST-derived exosomes (GDEs) and identified 1,060 proteins composing the core GDE proteome (cGDEp). The cGDEp was enriched in diagnostic markers (e.g. KIT, CD34, ANO1, PROM1, PRKCQ, and ENG), as well as proteins encoded by genes previously reported expressed in GIST (e.g. DPP4, FHL1, CDH11, and KCTD12). Many of these proteins were validated using cell lines, patient-derived KIT+ exosomes, and GIST tissues. We further show that in vitro and in vivo-derived GDE, carry proteins associated with IM response, such as Sprouty homolog 4 (SPRY4), surfeit 4 (SURF4), ALIX, and the cGMP-dependent 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A). Additionally, we report that the total exosome levels and exosome-associated KIT and SPRY4 protein levels have therapeutic values. In fact, molecular characterization of in vivo-derived KIT+ exosomes indicate significant sorting of p-KITTyr719, total KIT, and SPRY4 after IM-treatment of metastatic patients as compared with the pre-IM levels. Our data suggest that analysis of circulating exosomes levels and molecular markers of IM response in GIST patients with primary and metastatic disease is suitable to develop liquid based biopsies for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of response to treatment of these tumors. In summary, these findings provide the first insight into the proteome of GIST-derived oncosomes and offers a unique opportunity to further understand their oncogenic elements which contribute to tumorigenesis and drug resistance. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD007997.

Abstract
Reported herein is a simple method of performing single analyzer precursor ion scans in a linear quadrupole ion trap using orthogonal double resonance excitation. A first supplementary AC signal applied to the y electrodes is scanned through ion secular frequencies in order to mass-selectively excite precursor ions while, simultaneously, a second fixed-frequency AC signal is applied orthogonally on the x electrodes in order to eject product ions of selected mass-to-charge ratios towards the detector. The two AC signals are applied orthogonally so as to preclude the possibility of (1) inadvertently ejecting precursor ions into the detector, which results in artifact peaks, and (2) prevent beat frequencies on the x electrodes from ejecting ions off-resonance. Precursor ion scans are implemented while using the inverse Mathieu q scan for easier mass calibration. The orthogonal double resonance experiment results in single ion trap precursor scans with far less intense artifact peaks than when both AC signals are applied to the same electrodes, paving the way for implementation of neutral loss scanning in single ion trap mass spectrometers.

Abstract
Internodes of grass stems function in mechanical support, transport, and, in some species, are a major sink organ for carbon in the form of cell wall polymers. This study reports cell wall composition, proteomic, and metabolite analyses of the rice elongating internode. Cellulose, lignin, and xylose increase as a percentage of cell wall material along eight segments of the second rice internode (internode II) at booting stage, from the younger to the older internode segments, indicating active cell wall synthesis. Liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) of trypsin-digested proteins from this internode at booting reveals 2,547 proteins with at least two unique peptides in two biological replicates. The dataset includes many glycosyltransferases, acyltransferases, glycosyl hydrolases, cell wall-localized proteins, and protein kinases that have or may have functions in cell wall biosynthesis or remodeling. Phospho-enrichment of internode II peptides identified 21 unique phosphopeptides belonging to 20 phosphoproteins including a leucine rich repeat-III family receptor like kinase. GO over-representation and KEGG pathway analyses highlight the abundances of proteins involved in biosynthetic processes, especially the synthesis of secondary metabolites such as phenylpropanoids and flavonoids. LC-MS/MS of hot methanol-extracted secondary metabolites from internode II at four stages (booting/elongation, early mature, mature, and post mature) indicates that internode secondary metabolites are distinct from those of roots and leaves, and differ across stem maturation. This work fills a void of in-depth proteomics and metabolomics data for grass stems, specifically for rice, and provides baseline knowledge for more detailed studies of cell wall synthesis and other biological processes characteristic of internode development, toward improving grass agronomic properties.

Abstract
In this follow-up paper to our previous work on single analyzer precursor ion scans in a linear quadrupole ion trap (Snyder, D. T.; Cooks, R. G. Single analyzer precursor ion scans in a linear quadrupole ion trap using orthogonal double resonance excitation. J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 2017, DOI: 10.1007/s13361-017-1707-y), we now report the development of single analyzer neutral loss scans in a linear quadrupole ion trap using orthogonal double resonance excitation. Methodologically, there are three key differences between single analyzer precursor ion scans and neutral loss scans under constant radiofrequency (rf) conditions: (1) in the latter experiment, both excitation and ejection frequencies must be scanned, whereas in the former the ejection frequency is fixed, (2) the need to maintain a constant neutral loss while incrementing both precursor and product ion masses, complicated by the complex relationship between secular frequency and mass, requires use of two simultaneous frequency scans, both linear in mass, and (3) because the ejection frequency is scanned, a third ac signal occurring between the ac excitation and ac ejection frequency scans must also be applied and scanned in order to reject artifact peaks caused by ejection of unfragmented precursor ions. Using this methodology, we demonstrate neutral loss scans on a commercial linear ion trap using mixtures of illicit drugs and acylcarnitines. We also demonstrate neutral loss scanning on a Populus deltoides leaf and on a lignin sample, both significantly more complex mixtures.

Abstract
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) has been identified as a major pathogen responsible for severe economic loss. Most silkworm strains are susceptible to BmNPV, with only a few highly resistant strains thus far identified. Here we investigated the molecular basis of silkworm resistance to BmNPV using susceptible (the recurrent parent P50) and resistant (near-isogenic line BC9) strains and a combination of iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics, reverse-transcription quantitative PCR and Western blotting. By comparing the proteomes of infected and non-infected P50 and BC9 silkworms, we identified 793 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). By gene ontology and KEGG enrichment analyses, we found that these DEPs are preferentially involved in metabolism, catalytic activity, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and carbon metabolism. 114 (14.38%) DEPs were associated with the cytoskeleton, immune response, apoptosis, ubiquitination, translation, ion transport, endocytosis and endopeptidase activity. After removing the genetic background and individual immune stress response proteins, we identified 84 DEPs were found that are potentially involved in resistance to BmNPV. Further studies showed that a serine protease was down-regulated in P50 and up-regulated in BC9 after BmNPV infection. Taken together, these results provide insights into the molecular mechanism of silkworm response to BmNPV. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is highly pathogenic, causing serious losses in sericulture every year. However, the molecular mechanisms of BmNPV infection and host defence remain unclear. Here we combined quantitative proteomic, bioinformatics, RT-qPCR and Western blotting analyses and found that BmNPV invasion causes complex protein alterations in the larval midgut, and that these changes are related to cytoskeleton, immune response, apoptosis, ubiquitination, translation, ion transport, endocytosis and endopeptidase activity. Five important differentially expression proteins were validation by independent approaches. These finding will help address the molecular mechanisms of silkworm resistance to BmNPV and provide a molecular target for resisting BmNPV.

Abstract
The interrogation of cell surface-presented immunogenic epitopes is of great importance to differentiate diseased cells in consequence to malignant transformation or viral infections. On the basis of this knowledge, next-generation immunotherapies against cancers, autoimmunity, or infectious diseases can be developed. The identification of altered peptide repertoires of transformed cells renders mass spectrometry-based analysis indispensable. This is evident considering the low correlation of gene or protein expression alterations, respectively, with changes in the peptide repertoire rendering those analyses less informative. Nevertheless, immunogenicity of peptides appearing to be exclusively found on diseased cells has to be finally proven in T cell-based assays. This review highlights the capabilities and limitations of mass spectrometry in the identification of entire immunopeptidomes, as well as individual potential immunogenic epitopes with a strong focus on cancer. Furthermore, an overview of state-of-the-art immunogenicity screens is presented.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based isobaric labeling has undergone rapid development in recent years due to its capability for high throughput quantitation. Apart from its originally designed use with collision-induced dissociation (CID) and higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD), isobaric tagging technique could also work with electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), which provides complementarity to CID and is preferred in sequencing peptides with post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, ETD suffers from long reaction time, reduced duty cycle and bias against peptides with lower charge states. In addition, common fragmentation mechanism in ETD results in altered reporter ion production, decreased multiplexing capability, and even loss of quantitation capability for some of the isobaric tags, including custom-designed dimethyl leucine (DiLeu) tags. Here, we demonstrate a novel electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) approach that preserves original reporter ion channels, mitigates bias against lower charge states, improves sensitivity, and significantly improves data quality for quantitative proteomics and proteome-wide PTM studies. Systematic optimization was performed to achieve a balance between data quality and sensitivity. We provide direct comparison of EThcD with ETD and HCD for DiLeu- and TMT-labeled HEK cell lysate and IMAC enriched phosphopeptides. Results demonstrate improved data quality and phosphorylation localization accuracy while preserving sufficient reporter ion production. Biological studies were performed to investigate phosphorylation changes in a mouse vascular smooth muscle cell line treated with four different conditions. Overall, EThcD exhibits superior performance compared to conventional ETD and offers distinct advantages compared to HCD in isobaric labeling based quantitative proteomics and quantitative PTM studies.

[PMID: 28402676 PMCID: PMC5436099 DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.6b04935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2016] [Accepted: 04/12/2017] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
We compared the five different ways of fragmentation available on a tribrid mass spectrometer and optimized their collision energies with regard to optimal sequence coverage of cross-linked peptides. We created a library of bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3/DSS) cross-linked precursors, derived from the tryptic digests of three model proteins (Human Serum Albumin, creatine kinase, and myoglobin). This enabled in-depth targeted analysis of the fragmentation behavior of 1065 cross-linked precursors using the five fragmentation techniques: collision-induced dissociation (CID), beam-type CID (HCD), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), and the combinations ETciD and EThcD. EThcD gave the best sequence coverage for cross-linked m/z species with high charge density, while HCD was optimal for all others. We tested the resulting data-dependent decision tree against collision energy-optimized single methods on two samples of differing complexity (a mix of eight proteins and a highly complex ribosomal cellular fraction). For the high complexity sample the decision tree gave the highest number of identified cross-linked peptide pairs passing a 5% false discovery rate (on average ∼21% more than the second best, HCD). For the medium complexity sample, the higher speed of HCD proved decisive. Currently, acquisition speed plays an important role in allowing the detection of cross-linked peptides against the background of linear peptides. Enrichment of cross-linked peptides will reduce this role and favor methods that provide spectra of higher quality. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD006131.

Abstract
Using concurrent IR photoactivation during electron transfer dissociation (ETD) reactions, i.e., activated ion ETD (AI-ETD), significantly increases dissociation efficiency resulting in improved overall performance. Here we describe the first implementation of AI-ETD on a quadrupole-Orbitrap-quadrupole linear ion trap (QLT) hybrid MS system (Orbitrap Fusion Lumos) and demonstrate the substantial benefits it offers for peptide characterization. First, we show that AI-ETD can be implemented in a straightforward manner by fastening the laser and guiding optics to the instrument chassis itself, making alignment with the trapping volume of the QLT simple and robust. We then characterize the performance of AI-ETD using standard peptides in addition to a complex mixtures of tryptic peptides using LC-MS/MS, showing not only that AI-ETD can nearly double the identifications achieved with ETD alone but also that it outperforms the other available supplemental activation methods (ETcaD and EThcD). Finally, we introduce a new activation scheme called AI-ETD+ that combines AI-ETD in the high pressure cell of the QLT with a short infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) activation in the low-pressure cell. This reaction scheme introduces no addition time to the scan duty cycle but generates MS/MS spectra rich in b/y-type and c/z•-type product ions. The extensive generation of fragment ions in AI-ETD+ substantially increases peptide sequence coverage while also improving peptide identifications over all other ETD methods, making it a valuable new tool for hybrid fragmentation approaches.

Abstract
Trypsin dominates bottom-up proteomics, but there are reasons to consider alternative enzymes. Improving sequence coverage, exposing proteomic "dark matter," and clustering post-translational modifications in different ways and with higher-order drive the pursuit of reagents complementary to trypsin. Additionally, enzymes that are easy to use and generate larger peptides that capitalize upon newer fragmentation technologies should have a place in proteomics. We expressed and characterized recombinant neprosin, a novel prolyl endoprotease of the DUF239 family, which preferentially cleaves C-terminal to proline residues under highly acidic conditions. Cleavage also occurs C-terminal to alanine with some frequency, but with an intriguingly high "skipping rate." Digestion proceeds to a stable end point, resulting in an average peptide mass of 2521 units and a higher dependence upon electron-transfer dissociation for peptide-spectrum matches. In contrast to most proline-cleaving enzymes, neprosin effectively degrades proteins of any size. For 1251 HeLa cell proteins identified in common using trypsin, Lys-C, and neprosin, almost 50% of the neprosin sequence contribution is unique. The high average peptide mass coupled with cleavage at residues not usually modified provide new opportunities for profiling clusters of post-translational modifications. We show that neprosin is a useful reagent for reading epigenetic marks on histones. It generates peptide 1-38 of histone H3 and peptide 1-32 of histone H4 in a single digest, permitting the analysis of co-occurring post-translational modifications in these important N-terminal tails.

Abstract
The kidney is centrally involved in blood pressure regulation and undergoes extensive changes during pregnancy. Hypertension during pregnancy may result in an altered urinary peptidome that could be used to indicate new targets of therapeutic or diagnostic interest. The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a model of maternal chronic hypertension. Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry was conducted to interrogate the urinary peptidome in SHRSP and the control Wistar-Kyoto strain at three time points: prepregnancy and gestational days 12 and 18. The comparison within and between the Wistar-Kyoto and SHRSP peptidome at all time points detected 123 differentially expressed peptides (fold change >1.5; P<0.05). Sequencing of these peptides identified fragments of collagen α-chains, albumin, prothrombin, actin, serpin A3K, proepidermal growth factor, and uromodulin. Uromodulin peptides showed a pregnancy-specific alteration in SHRSP with a 7.8-fold (P<0.01) and 8.8-fold (P<0.05) increase at gestational days 12 and 18, respectively, relative to the Wistar-Kyoto. Further investigation revealed that these peptides belonged to the polymerization-inhibitory region of uromodulin. Two forms of uromodulin (polymerization competent and polymerization incompetent) were found in urine from both Wistar-Kyoto and SHRSP, where the polymerization-incompetent form was increased in a pregnancy-specific manner in SHRSP. Nifedipine-treated pregnant SHRSP showed only polymerization-competent uromodulin, indicating that calcium may be mechanistically involved in uromodulin polymerization. This study highlights, for the first time, a potential role of uromodulin and its polymerization in hypertensive pregnancy.

Abstract
FIH-mediated post-translational modification through asparaginyl hydroxylation of eukaryotic proteins impacts regulation of protein-protein interaction. We have identified the FIH recognition motif in 11 Legionella pneumophila translocated effectors, YopM of Yersinia, IpaH4.5 of Shigella and an ankyrin protein of Rickettsia. Mass spectrometry analyses of the AnkB and AnkH effectors of L. pneumophila confirm their asparaginyl hydroxylation. Consistent with localization of the AnkB effector to the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) membrane and its modification by FIH, our data show that FIH and its two interacting proteins, Mint3 and MT1-MMP are acquired by the LCV in a Dot/Icm type IV secretion-dependent manner. Chemical inhibition or RNAi-mediated knockdown of FIH promotes LCV-lysosomes fusion, diminishes decoration of the LCV with polyubiquitinated proteins, and abolishes intra-vacuolar replication of L. pneumophila. These data show acquisition of the host FIH by a pathogen-containing vacuole and that asparaginyl-hydroxylation of translocated effectors is indispensable for their function.

Abstract
PSY1R is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like kinase (RLK) previously shown to act as receptor for the plant peptide hormone PSY1 (peptide containing sulfated tyrosine 1) and to regulate cell expansion. PSY1R phosphorylates and thereby regulates the activity of plasma membrane-localized H+-ATPases. While this mechanism has been studied in detail, little is known about how PSY1R itself is activated. Here we studied the activation mechanism of PSY1R. We show that full-length PSY1R interacts with members of the SERK co-receptor family in planta. We identified seven in vitro autophosphorylation sites on serine and threonine residues within the kinase domain of PSY1R using mass spectrometry. We furthermore show that PSY1R autophosphorylation occurs in trans and that the initial transphosphorylation takes place within the activation loop at residues Ser951, Thr959, and Thr963. While Thr959 and Thr963 are conserved among other related plant LRR RLKs, Ser951 is unique to PSY1R. Based on homology modeling we propose that phosphorylation of Ser951 stabilize the inactive conformation of PSY1R.

Abstract
Chemical tools have accelerated progress in glycoscience, reducing experimental barriers to studying protein glycosylation, the most widespread and complex form of posttranslational modification. For example, chemical glycoproteomics technologies have enabled the identification of specific glycosylation sites and glycan structures that modulate protein function in a number of biological processes. This field is now entering a stage of logarithmic growth, during which chemical innovations combined with mass spectrometry advances could make it possible to fully characterize the human glycoproteome. In this review, we describe the important role that chemical glycoproteomics methods are playing in such efforts. We summarize developments in four key areas: enrichment of glycoproteins and glycopeptides from complex mixtures, emphasizing methods that exploit unique chemical properties of glycans or introduce unnatural functional groups through metabolic labeling and chemoenzymatic tagging; identification of sites of protein glycosylation; targeted glycoproteomics; and functional glycoproteomics, with a focus on probing interactions between glycoproteins and glycan-binding proteins. Our goal with this survey is to provide a foundation on which continued technological advancements can be made to promote further explorations of protein glycosylation.
