Abstract
Peptide-receptor interactions play critical roles in a wide variety of physiological processes. Methods to link bioactive peptides covalently to unmodified receptors on the surfaces of living cells are valuable for studying receptor signaling, dynamics, and trafficking and for identifying novel peptide-receptor interactions. Here, we utilize peptide analogues bearing deactivated aryl diazonium groups for the affinity-driven labeling of unmodified receptors. We demonstrate that aryl diazonium-bearing peptide analogues can covalently label receptors on the surface of living cells using both the neurotensin and the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor systems. Receptor labeling occurs in the complex environment of the cell surface in a sequence-specific manner. We further demonstrate the utility of this covalent labeling approach for the visualization of peptide receptors by confocal fluorescence microscopy and for the enrichment and identification of labeled receptors by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Aryl diazonium-based affinity-driven receptor labeling is attractive due to the high abundance of tyrosine and histidine residues susceptible to azo coupling in the peptide binding sites of receptors, the ease of incorporation of aryl diazonium groups into peptides, and the relatively small size of the aryl diazonium group. This approach should prove to be a powerful and relatively general method to study peptide-receptor interactions in cellular contexts.

The proteome of the blood-brain barrier in rat and mouse: highly specific identification of proteins on the luminal surface of brain microvessels by in vivo glycocapture. Fluids Barriers CNS 2024; 21:23. [PMID: 38433215 PMCID: PMC10910681 DOI: 10.1186/s12987-024-00523-x] [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: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The active transport of molecules into the brain from blood is regulated by receptors, transporters, and other cell surface proteins that are present on the luminal surface of endothelial cells at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, proteomic profiling of proteins present on the luminal endothelial cell surface of the BBB has proven challenging due to difficulty in labelling these proteins in a way that allows efficient purification of these relatively low abundance cell surface proteins. METHODS Here we describe a novel perfusion-based labelling workflow: in vivo glycocapture. This workflow relies on the oxidation of glycans present on the luminal vessel surface via perfusion of a mild oxidizing agent, followed by subsequent isolation of glycoproteins by covalent linkage of their oxidized glycans to hydrazide beads. Mass spectrometry-based identification of the isolated proteins enables high-confidence identification of endothelial cell surface proteins in rats and mice. RESULTS Using the developed workflow, 347 proteins were identified from the BBB in rat and 224 proteins in mouse, for a total of 395 proteins in both species combined. These proteins included many proteins with transporter activity (73 proteins), cell adhesion proteins (47 proteins), and transmembrane signal receptors (31 proteins). To identify proteins that are enriched in vessels relative to the entire brain, we established a vessel-enrichment score and showed that proteins with a high vessel-enrichment score are involved in vascular development functions, binding to integrins, and cell adhesion. Using publicly-available single-cell RNAseq data, we show that the proteins identified by in vivo glycocapture were more likely to be detected by scRNAseq in endothelial cells than in any other cell type. Furthermore, nearly 50% of the genes encoding cell-surface proteins that were detected by scRNAseq in endothelial cells were also identified by in vivo glycocapture. CONCLUSIONS The proteins identified by in vivo glycocapture in this work represent the most complete and specific profiling of proteins on the luminal BBB surface to date. The identified proteins reflect possible targets for the development of antibodies to improve the crossing of therapeutic proteins into the brain and will contribute to our further understanding of BBB transport mechanisms.

Abstract
Lung infection by influenza A virus (IAV) is a major cause of global mortality from lung injury, a disease defined by widespread dysfunction of the lung's air-blood barrier. Endocytosis of IAV virions by the alveolar epithelium - the cells that determine barrier function - is central to barrier loss mechanisms. Here, we address the current understanding of the mechanistic steps that lead to endocytosis in the alveolar epithelium, with an eye to how the unique structure of lung alveoli shapes endocytic mechanisms. We highlight where future studies of alveolar interactions with IAV virions may lead to new therapeutic approaches for IAV-induced lung injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell-surface proteins are extremely important for many cellular events, such as regulating cell-cell communication and cell-matrix interactions. Aberrant alterations in surface protein expression, modification (especially glycosylation), and interactions are directly related to human diseases. Systematic investigation of surface proteins advances our understanding of protein functions, cellular activities, and disease mechanisms, which will lead to identifying surface proteins as disease biomarkers and drug targets. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics methods for global analysis of cell-surface proteins. Then, investigations of the dynamics of surface proteins are discussed. Furthermore, we summarize the studies for the surfaceome interaction networks. Additionally, biological applications of MS-based surfaceome analysis are included, particularly highlighting the significance in biomarker identification, drug development, and immunotherapies. EXPERT OPINION Modern MS-based proteomics provides an opportunity to systematically characterize proteins. However, due to the complexity of cell-surface proteins, the labor-intensive workflow, and the limit of clinical samples, comprehensive characterization of the surfaceome remains extraordinarily challenging, especially in clinical studies. Developing and optimizing surfaceome enrichment methods and utilizing automated sample preparation workflow can expand the applications of surfaceome analysis and deepen our understanding of the functions of cell-surface proteins.

Abstract
Glycoproteins are a particularly interesting subset of the cellular proteome as a high proportion of proteins present on the extracellular cell surface are glycosylated. These cell surface proteins are ideal targets for biologic drug therapies or for diagnostics tests. Here, we describe a modification of the well-described Cell Surface Capture (CSC) method for the selective isolation and identification of cell surface glycoproteins that contain N-linked carbohydrates. This modification, which we refer to as Direct Cell Surface Capture (D-CSC), is based on oxidation of cell surface glycans on intact cells, followed by direct conjugation of the oxidized oligosaccharides to a solid support using hydrazide chemistry, with no biotinylation step. As a proof-of-principle, we applied D-CSC to the analysis of cell surface membrane proteins of three adherent cancer cell lines (A549, OVCAR3, and U87MG) and compared our results to those published using the well-established Cell Surface Capture (CSC) method, demonstrating comparable selectivity for cell surface proteins. •A method enabling the identification of cell surface proteins from cells in culture is described.•Application of this method to profile the cell surface on three different cancer cell lines is included.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heterogeneous high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, which can contain hundreds of proteins, affect human health and disease through dynamic molecular interactions with cell surface proteins. How HDL mediates its long-range signaling functions and interactions with various cell types is largely unknown. Due to the complexity of HDL, we hypothesize that multiple receptors engage with HDL particles resulting in condition-dependent receptor-HDL interaction clusters at the cell surface. METHODS Here we used the mass spectrometry-based and light-controlled proximity labeling strategy LUX-MS in a discovery-driven manner to decode HDL-receptor interactions. RESULTS Surfaceome nanoscale organization analysis of hepatocytes and endothelial cells using LUX-MS revealed that the previously known HDL-binding protein scavenger receptor B1 (SCRB1) is embedded in a cell surface protein community, which we term HDL synapse. Modulating the endothelial HDL synapse, composed of 60 proteins, by silencing individual members, showed that the HDL synapse can be assembled in the absence of SCRB1 and that the members are interlinked. The aminopeptidase N (AMPN) (also known as CD13) was identified as an HDL synapse member that directly influences HDL uptake into the primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that preformed cell surface residing protein complexes modulate HDL function and suggest new theragnostic opportunities.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins are an important class of cellular proteins. These take part in key cellular processes such as signaling transducing receptors to transporters, many operating within the plasma membrane. More than half of the FDA-approved protein-targeting drugs operate via interaction with proteins that contain at least one membrane-spanning region, yet the characterization and study of their native interactions with therapeutic agents remains a significant challenge. This challenge is due in part to such proteins often being present in small quantities within a cell. Effective solubilization of membrane proteins is also problematic, with the detergents typically employed in solubilizing membranes leading to a loss of functional activity and key interacting partners. In recent years, alternative methods to extract membrane proteins within their native lipid environment have been investigated, with the aim of producing functional nanodiscs, maintaining protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions. A promising approach involves extracting membrane proteins in the form of styrene maleic acid lipid particles (SMALPs) that allow the retention of their native conformation. This extraction method offers many advantages for further protein analysis and allows the study of the protein interactions with other molecules, such as drugs. Here, we describe a protocol for efficient SMALP extraction of functionally active membrane protein complexes within nanodiscs. We showcase the method on the isolation of a low copy number plasma membrane receptor complex, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), from adult Drosophila melanogaster heads. We demonstrate that these nanodiscs can be used to study native receptor-ligand interactions. This protocol can be applied across many biological scenarios to extract the native conformations of low copy number integral membrane proteins.

Abstract
Indirect cell-cell interactions mediated by secreted proteins and their plasma membrane receptors play essential roles for regulating intercellular signaling. However, systematic profiling of the interactions between living cell surface receptors and secretome from neighboring cells remains challenging. Here we develop a chemical proteomics approach, termed interaction-guided crosslinking (IGC), to identify ligand-receptor interactions in situ. By introducing glycan-based ligation and click chemistry, the IGC approach via glycan-to-glycan crosslinking successfully captures receptors from as few as 0.1 million living cells using only 10 ng of secreted ligand. The unparalleled sensitivity and selectivity allow systematic crosslinking and identification of ligand-receptor complexes formed between cell secretome and surfaceome in an unbiased and all-to-all manner, leading to the discovery of a ligand-receptor interaction between pancreatic cancer cell-secreted urokinase (PLAU) and neuropilin 1 (NRP1) on pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts. This approach is thus useful for systematic exploring new ligand-receptor pairs and discovering critical intercellular signaling events.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) enters host cells mostly through clathrin-dependent receptor-mediated endocytosis. A single bona fide entry receptor protein supporting this entry mechanism remains elusive. Here we performed proximity ligation of biotin to host cell surface proteins in the vicinity of attached trimeric hemagglutinin-HRP and characterized biotinylated targets using mass spectrometry. This approach identified transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) as a candidate entry protein. Genetic gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments, as well as in vitro and in vivo chemical inhibition, confirmed the functional involvement of TfR1 in IAV entry. Recycling deficient mutants of TfR1 do not support entry, indicating that TfR1 recycling is essential for this function. The binding of virions to TfR1 via sialic acids confirmed its role as a directly acting entry factor, but unexpectedly even headless TfR1 promoted IAV particle uptake in trans. TIRF microscopy localized the entering virus-like particles in the vicinity of TfR1. Our data identify TfR1 recycling as a revolving door mechanism exploited by IAV to enter host cells.

Abstract
The l- to d-amino acid residue isomerization of neuropeptides is an understudied post-translational modification found in animals across several phyla. Despite its physiological importance, little information is available regarding the impact of endogenous peptide isomerization on receptor recognition and activation. As a result, the full roles peptide isomerization play in biology are not well understood. Here, we identify that the Aplysia allatotropin-related peptide (ATRP) signaling system utilizes l- to d-residue isomerization of one amino acid residue in the neuropeptide ligand to modulate selectivity between two distinct G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We first identified a novel receptor for ATRP that is selective for the D2-ATRP form, which bears a single d-phenylalanine residue at position 2. Using cell-based receptor activation experiments, we then characterized the stereoselectivity of the two known ATRP receptors for both endogenous ATRP diastereomers, as well as for homologous toxin peptides from a carnivorous predator. We found that the ATRP system displayed dual signaling through both the Gαq and Gαs pathways, and each receptor was selectively activated by one naturally occurring ligand diastereomer over the other. Overall, our results provide insights into an unexplored mechanism by which nature regulates intercellular communication. Given the challenges in detecting l- to d-residue isomerization from complex mixtures de novo and in identifying receptors for novel neuropeptides, it is likely that other neuropeptide-receptor systems may also utilize changes in stereochemistry to modulate receptor selectivity in a manner similar to that discovered here.

Abstract
Surface and secreted glycoproteins are essential to cells and regulate many extracellular events. Because of the diversity of glycans, the low abundance of many glycoproteins, and the complexity of biological samples, a system-wide investigation of extracellular glycoproteins is a daunting task. With the development of modern mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, comprehensive analysis of different protein modifications including glycosylation has advanced dramatically. This review focuses on the investigation of extracellular glycoproteins using MS-based proteomics. We first discuss the methods for selectively enriching surface glycoproteins and investigating protein interactions on the cell surface, followed by the application of MS-based proteomics for surface glycoprotein dynamics analysis and biomarker discovery. We then summarize the methods to comprehensively study secreted glycoproteins by integrating various enrichment approaches with MS-based proteomics and their applications for global analysis of secreted glycoproteins in different biological samples. Collectively, MS significantly expands our knowledge of extracellular glycoproteins and enables us to identify extracellular glycoproteins as potential biomarkers for disease detection and drug targets for disease treatment.

Abstract
The capacity of host cells to detect and restrict an infecting virus rests on an array of cell-autonomous antiviral effectors and innate immune receptors that can trigger inflammatory processes at tissue and organismal levels. Dynamic changes in protein abundance, subcellular localisation, post-translational modifications and interactions with other biomolecules govern these processes. Proteomics is therefore an ideal experimental tool to discover novel mechanisms of host antiviral immunity. Additional information can be gleaned both about host and virus by systematic analysis of viral immune evasion strategies. In this review, we summarise recent advances in proteomic technologies and their application to antiviral innate immunity.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been known for decades as attractive drug targets. This has led to the development and approval of many ligands targeting GPCRs. Although ligand binding effects have been studied thoroughly for many GPCRs, there are multiple aspects of GPCR signaling that remain poorly understood. The reasons for this are the difficulties that are encountered upon studying GPCRs, for example, a poor solubility and low expression levels. In this work, we have managed to overcome some of these issues by developing an affinity-based probe for a prototypic GPCR, the adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR). Here, we show the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of this probe in various biochemical assays, such as SDS-PAGE, confocal microscopy, and chemical proteomics.

Abstract
The collection of exposed plasma membrane proteins, collectively termed the surfaceome, is involved in multiple vital cellular processes, such as the communication of cells with their surroundings and the regulation of transport across the lipid bilayer. The surfaceome also plays key roles in the immune system by recognizing and presenting antigens, with its possible malfunctioning linked to disease. Surface proteins have long been explored as potential cell markers, disease biomarkers, and therapeutic drug targets. Despite its importance, a detailed study of the surfaceome continues to pose major challenges for mass spectrometry-driven proteomics due to the inherent biophysical characteristics of surface proteins. Their inefficient extraction from hydrophobic membranes to an aqueous medium and their lower abundance compared to intracellular proteins hamper the analysis of surface proteins, which are therefore usually underrepresented in proteomic datasets. To tackle such problems, several innovative analytical methodologies have been developed. This review aims at providing an extensive overview of the different methods for surfaceome analysis, with respective considerations for downstream mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Decoding Functional High-Density Lipoprotein Particle Surfaceome Interactions. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169506.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a mixture of complex particles mediating reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and several cytoprotective activities. Despite its relevance for human health, many aspects of HDL-mediated lipid trafficking and cellular signaling remain elusive at the molecular level. During HDL’s journey throughout the body, its functions are mediated through interactions with cell surface receptors on different cell types. To characterize and better understand the functional interplay between HDL particles and tissue, we analyzed the surfaceome-residing receptor neighborhoods with which HDL potentially interacts. We applied a combination of chemoproteomic technologies including automated cell surface capturing (auto-CSC) and HATRIC-based ligand–receptor capturing (HATRIC-LRC) on four different cellular model systems mimicking tissues relevant for RCT. The surfaceome analysis of EA.hy926, HEPG2, foam cells, and human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) revealed the main currently known HDL receptor scavenger receptor B1 (SCRB1), as well as 155 shared cell surface receptors representing potential HDL interaction candidates. Since vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) was recently found as a regulatory factor of transendothelial transport of HDL, we next analyzed the VEGF-modulated surfaceome of HAEC using the auto-CSC technology. VEGF-A treatment led to the remodeling of the surfaceome of HAEC cells, including the previously reported higher surfaceome abundance of SCRB1. In total, 165 additional receptors were found on HAEC upon VEGF-A treatment representing SCRB1 co-regulated receptors potentially involved in HDL function. Using the HATRIC-LRC technology on human endothelial cells, we specifically aimed for the identification of other bona fide (co-)receptors of HDL beyond SCRB1. HATRIC-LRC enabled, next to SCRB1, the identification of the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase Mer (MERTK). Through RNA interference, we revealed its contribution to endothelial HDL binding and uptake. Furthermore, subsequent proximity ligation assays (PLAs) demonstrated the spatial vicinity of MERTK and SCRB1 on the endothelial cell surface. The data shown provide direct evidence for a complex and dynamic HDL receptome and that receptor nanoscale organization may influence binding and uptake of HDL.

Abstract
Drosophila nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that represent a target for insecticides. Peptide neurotoxins are known to block nAChRs by binding to their target subunits, however, a better understanding of this mechanism is needed for effective insecticide design. To facilitate the analysis of nAChRs we used a CRISPR/Cas9 strategy to generate null alleles for all ten nAChR subunit genes in a common genetic background. We studied interactions of nAChR subunits with peptide neurotoxins by larval injections and styrene maleic acid lipid particles (SMALPs) pull-down assays. For the null alleles, we determined the effects of α-Bungarotoxin (α-Btx) and ω-Hexatoxin-Hv1a (Hv1a) administration, identifying potential receptor subunits implicated in the binding of these toxins. We employed pull-down assays to confirm α-Btx interactions with the Drosophila α5 (Dα5), Dα6, Dα7 subunits. Finally, we report the localisation of fluorescent tagged endogenous Dα6 during Drosophila CNS development. Taken together, this study elucidates native Drosophila nAChR subunit interactions with insecticidal peptide toxins and provides a resource for the in vivo analysis of insect nAChRs.

Abstract
Protein complexes mediated by various post-translational modifications (PTMs) play important roles in almost every aspect of biological processes. PTM-mediated protein complexes often have weak and transient binding properties, which limit their unbiased profiling especially in complex biological samples. Here, we developed a plug-and-play chemical proteomic approach for high-throughput analyis of PTM-mediated protein complexes. Taking advantage of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tag, which is the gold standard for protein purification and has wide access to a variety of proteins of interest (POIs), a glutathione (GSH) group- and photo-cross-linking group-containing trifunctional chemical probe was developed to tag POIs and assembled onto a streptavidin-coated 96-well plate for affinity purification, photo-cross-linking, and proteomics sample preparation in a fully integrated manner. Compared with the previously developed photo-pTyr-scaffold strategy, by assembling the tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) binding domain through covalent NHS chemistry, the new plug-and-play strategy using a noncovalent GST-GSH interaction has comparable enrichment efficiency for EGF stimulation-dependent pTyr protein complexes. To further prove its feasibility, we additionally assembled four pTyr-binding domains in the 96-well plate and selectively identified their pTyr-dependent interacting proteins. Importantly, we systematically optimized and applied the plug-and-play approach for exploring protein methylation-mediated protein complexes, which are difficult to be characterized due to their weak binding affinity and the lack of efficient enrichment strategies. We explored a comprehensive protein methylation-mediated interaction network assembled by five protein methylation binding domains including the chromo domain of MPP8, tandem tudor domain of KDM4A, full-length CBX1, PHD domain of RAG2, and tandem tudor domain of TP53BP1 and validated the chromo domain- and tudor domain-mediated interaction with histone H3. Collectively, this plug-and-play approach provides a convenient and generic strategy for exploring PTM-dependent protein complexes for any POIs with the GST tag.

Abstract
Proteins are the main targets of most drugs; however, system-wide methods to monitor protein activity and function are still underused in drug discovery. Novel biochemical approaches, in combination with recent developments in mass spectrometry-based proteomics instrumentation and data analysis pipelines, have now enabled the dissection of disease phenotypes and their modulation by bioactive molecules at unprecedented resolution and dimensionality. In this Review, we describe proteomics and chemoproteomics approaches for target identification and validation, as well as for identification of safety hazards. We discuss innovative strategies in early-stage drug discovery in which proteomics approaches generate unique insights, such as targeted protein degradation and the use of reactive fragments, and provide guidance for experimental strategies crucial for success.

Abstract
The molecular nanoscale organization of the surfaceome is a fundamental regulator of cellular signaling in health and disease. Technologies for mapping the spatial relationships of cell surface receptors and their extracellular signaling synapses would unlock theranostic opportunities to target protein communities and the possibility to engineer extracellular signaling. Here, we develop an optoproteomic technology termed LUX-MS that enables the targeted elucidation of acute protein interactions on and in between living cells using light-controlled singlet oxygen generators (SOG). By using SOG-coupled antibodies, small molecule drugs, biologics and intact viral particles, we demonstrate the ability of LUX-MS to decode ligand receptor interactions across organisms and to discover surfaceome receptor nanoscale organization with direct implications for drug action. Furthermore, by coupling SOG to antigens we achieved light-controlled molecular mapping of intercellular signaling within functional immune synapses between antigen-presenting cells and CD8+ T cells providing insights into T cell activation with spatiotemporal specificity. LUX-MS based decoding of surfaceome signaling architectures thereby provides a molecular framework for the rational development of theranostic strategies. The spatial organization of cell surface receptors is critical for cell signaling and drug action. Here, the authors develop an optoproteomic method for mapping surface protein interactions, revealing cellular responses to antibodies, drugs and viral particles as well as immunosynapse signaling events.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), comprising large microvesicles (MVs) and exosomes (EXs), play a key role in intercellular communication, both in physiological and in a wide variety of pathological conditions. However, the education of EV target cells has so far mainly been investigated as a function of EX cargo, while few studies have focused on the characterization of EV surface membrane molecules and the mechanisms that mediate the addressability of specific EVs to different cell types and tissues. Identifying these mechanisms will help fulfill the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic promises fueled by our growing knowledge of EVs. In this review, we first discuss published studies on the presumed EV “delivery code” and on the combinations of the hypothesized EV surface membrane “sender” and “recipient” molecules that may mediate EV targeting in intercellular communication. Then we briefly review the main experimental approaches and techniques, and the bioinformatic tools that can be used to identify and characterize the structure and functional role of EV surface membrane molecules. In the final part, we present innovative techniques and directions for future research that would improve and deepen our understandings of EV-cell targeting.

Abstract
A cross-linking method is developed to elucidate glycan-mediated interactions between membrane proteins through sialic acids. The method provides information on previously unknown extensive glycomic interactions on cell membranes. The vast majority of membrane proteins are glycosylated with complicated glycan structures attached to the polypeptide backbone. Glycan-protein interactions are fundamental elements in many cellular events. Although significant advances have been made to identify protein-protein interactions in living cells, only modest advances have been made on glycan-protein interactions. Mechanistic elucidation of glycan-protein interactions has thus far remained elusive. Therefore, we developed a cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) workflow to directly identify glycan-protein interactions on the cell membrane using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This method involved incorporating azido groups on cell surface glycans through biosynthetic pathways, followed by treatment of cell cultures with a synthesized reagent, N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-cyclooctyne, which allowed the cross-linking of the sialic acid azides on glycans with primary amines on polypeptide backbones. The coupled peptide-glycan-peptide pairs after cross-linking were identified using the latest techniques in glycoproteomic and glycomic analyses and bioinformatics software. With this approach, information on the site of glycosylation, the glycoform, the source protein, and the target protein of the cross-linked pair were obtained. Glycoprotein-protein interactions involving unique glycoforms on the PNT2 cell surface were identified using the optimized and validated method. We built the GPX network of the PNT2 cell line and further investigated the biological roles of different glycan structures within protein complexes. Furthermore, we were able to build glycoprotein-protein complex models for previously unexplored interactions. The method will advance our future understanding of the roles of glycans in protein complexes on the cell surface.

In contrast to conventional zwitterions, which are chemically inert, the multifunctional ST-containing copolymers we describe both participate in droplet stabilization and embed reactive functionality directly into the zwitterionic framework. Advantageously including these ST zwitterions in phosphorylcholine (PC)-containing copolymers proved particularly useful for producing surfactants that contributed characteristics of droplet stabilization and interfacial reactivity. This was demonstrated by NP pickup, or "capture", experiments that were performed by circulating ST-coated emulsion droplets across a substrate, in a flow cell, containing amine-functionalized silica NPs. The resultant NP adherence to the fluid-fluid interface of the droplets hinged on the available reactivity of both the electrophilic (from ST) and nucleophilic (from the NPs) components as well as the solution pH and extent of amine functionality on the NPs.

Abstract
The cellular surfaceome and its residing extracellularly exposed proteins are involved in a multitude of molecular signaling processes across the viral infection cycle. Successful viral propagation, including viral entry, immune evasion, virion release and viral spread rely on dynamic molecular interactions with the surfaceome. Decoding of these viral-host surfaceome interactions using advanced technologies enabled the discovery of fundamental new functional insights into cellular and viral biology. In this review, we highlight recently developed experimental strategies, with a focus on spatial proteotyping technologies, aiding in the rational design of theranostic strategies to combat viral infections.

Abstract
Intercellular signaling events mediated by neuropeptides and peptide hormones represent important targets for both basic science and drug discovery. For many bioactive peptides, the protein receptors that transmit information across the receiving cell membrane are not known, severely limiting these signaling pathways as potential therapeutic targets. Identifying the receptor(s) for a given peptide of interest is complicated by several factors. Most notably, cell-cell signaling peptides are generated through dynamic biosynthetic pathways, can act on many different families of receptor proteins, and can participate in complex ligand-receptor interactions that extend beyond a simple one-to-one archetype. Here, we discuss recent methodological advances to identify signaling partners for bioactive peptides. Recent efforts have centered on methods to identify candidate receptors via transcript expression, methods to match peptide-receptor pairs through high throughput screening, and methods to capture direct ligand-receptor interactions using chemical probes. Future applications of the receptor identification approaches discussed here, as well as technical advancements to address their limitations, promise to lead to a greater understanding of how cells communicate to deliver complex physiologies. Importantly, such advancements will likely provide novel targets for the treatment of human diseases within the central nervous and endocrine systems.

Abstract
The cell plasma membrane provides a highly interactive platform for the information transfer between the inside and outside of cells. The surface glycoprotein interaction network is extremely important in many extracellular events, and aberrant protein interactions are closely correlated with various diseases including cancer. Comprehensive analysis of cell surface protein interactions will deepen our understanding of the collaborations among surface proteins to regulate cellular activity. In this work, we developed a method integrating chemical crosslinking, an enzymatic reaction, and MS-based proteomics to systematically characterize proteins interacting with surface glycoproteins, and then constructed the surfaceome interaction network. Glycans covalently bound to proteins were employed as “baits”, and proteins that interact with surface glycoproteins were connected using chemical crosslinking. Glycans on surface glycoproteins were oxidized with galactose oxidase (GAO) and sequentially surface glycoproteins together with their interactors (“prey”) were enriched through hydrazide chemistry. In combination with quantitative proteomics, over 300 proteins interacting with surface glycoproteins were identified. Many important domains related to extracellular events were found on these proteins. Based on the protein–protein interaction database, we constructed the interaction network among the identified proteins, in which the hub proteins play more important roles in the interactome. Through analysis of crosslinked peptides, specific interactors were identified for glycoproteins on the cell surface. The newly developed method can be extensively applied to study glycoprotein interactions on the cell surface, including the dynamics of the surfaceome interactions in cells with external stimuli. Proteins interacting with glycoproteins on the cell surface were systematically characterized by integrating chemical crosslinking, enzymatic oxidation, and MS-based proteomics. The surface glycoprotein interaction network was then constructed.![]()

Abstract
Glycosylation is a prevalent, yet heterogeneous modification with a broad range of implications in molecular biology. This heterogeneity precludes enrichment strategies that can be universally beneficial for all glycan classes. Thus, choice of enrichment strategy has profound implications on experimental outcomes. Here we review common enrichment strategies used in modern mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic experiments, including lectins and other affinity chromatographies, hydrophilic interaction chromatography and its derivatives, porous graphitic carbon, reversible and irreversible chemical coupling strategies, and chemical biology tools that often leverage bioorthogonal handles. Interest in glycoproteomics continues to surge as mass spectrometry instrumentation and software improve, so this review aims to help equip researchers with the necessary information to choose appropriate enrichment strategies that best complement these efforts.

Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), also known as protein transduction domains, were first identified 25 years ago. They are small, ~6-30 amino acid long, synthetic, or naturally occurring peptides, able to carry a variety of cargoes across the cellular membranes in an intact, functional form. These cargoes can range from other small peptides, full-length proteins, nucleic acids including RNA and DNA, nanoparticles, and viral particles as well as radioisotopes and other fluorescent probes for imaging purposes. However, this ability to enter all cell types indiscriminately, and even cross the blood-brain barrier, hinders their development into viable vectors. Hence, researchers have adopted various strategies ranging from pH activatable cargoes to using phage display to identify tissue-specific CPPs. Use of this phage display strategy has led to an ever-expanding number of tissue-specific CPPs. Using phage display, we identified a 12-amino acid, non-naturally occurring peptide that targets the heart with peak uptake at 15 min after a peripheral intravenous injection, that we termed Cardiac Targeting Peptide (CTP). In this chapter, we use CTP as an example to describe techniques for validation of cell-specific transduction as well as provide details on a technology to identify binding partner(s) for these ever-increasing plethora of tissue-specific peptides. Given the myriad cargoes CTP can deliver, as well as rapid uptake after an intravenous injection, it can be applied to deliver radioisotopes, miRNA, siRNA, peptides, and proteins of therapeutic potential for acute cardiac conditions like myocardial infarction, where the window of opportunity for salvaging at-risk myocardium is limited to 6 hrs.

Abstract
Significant advancement of chemoproteomics has contributed to uncovering the mechanism of action (MoA) of small-molecule drugs by characterizing drug-protein interactions in living systems. However, cell-membrane proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels, due to their low abundance and unique biophysical properties associated with multiple transmembrane domains, can present challenges for proteome-wide mapping of drug-receptor interactions. Herein, we describe the development of novel tetrafunctional probes, consisting of (1) a ligand of interest, (2) 2-aryl-5-carboxytetrazole (ACT) as a photoreactive group, (3) a hydrazine-labile cleavable linker, and (4) biotin for enrichment. In live cell labeling studies, we demonstrated that the ACT-based probe showed superior reactivity and selectivity for labeling on-target GPCR by mass spectrometry analysis compared with control probes including diazirine-based probes. By leveraging ACT-based cleavable probes, we further identified a set of representative ionotropic receptors, targeted by CNS drugs, with remarkable selectivity and precise binding site information from mouse brain slices. We anticipate that the robust chemoproteomic platform using the ACT-based cleavable probe coupled with phenotypic screening should promote identification of pharmacologically relevant target receptors of drug candidates and ultimately development of first-in-class drugs with novel MoA.

Abstract
The outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) in 2016 created worldwide health emergency which demand urgent research efforts on understanding the virus biology and developing therapeutic strategies. Here, we present a time-resolved chemical proteomic strategy to track the early-stage entry of ZIKV into host cells. ZIKV was labeled on its surface with a chemical probe, which carries a photocrosslinker to covalently link virus-interacting proteins in living cells on UV exposure at different time points, and a biotin tag for subsequent enrichment and mass spectrometric identification of the receptor or other host proteins critical for virus internalization. We identified Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM1) as a potential ZIKV receptor and further validated it through overexpression, knockout, and inhibition of NCAM1 in Vero cells and human glioblastoma cells U-251 MG. Collectively, the strategy can serve as a universal tool to map virus entry pathways and uncover key interacting proteins.

Abstract
Extracellular protein interactions mediated by cell surface receptors are essential for intercellular communication in multicellular organisms. Assays to detect extracellular interactions must account for their often weak binding affinities and also the biochemical challenges in solubilising membrane-embedded receptors in an active form. Methods based on detecting direct binding of soluble recombinant receptor ectodomains have been successful, but genome-scale screening is limited by the usual requirement of producing sufficient amounts of each protein in two different forms, usually a "bait" and "prey". Here, we show that oligomeric receptor ectodomains coupled to concatenated units of the light-generating Gaussia luciferase enzyme robustly detected low affinity interactions and reduced the amount of protein required by several orders of magnitude compared to other reporter enzymes. Importantly, we discovered that this flash-type luciferase exhibited a reaction-induced inhibition that permitted the use of a single protein preparation as both bait and prey thereby halving the number of expression plasmids and recombinant proteins required for screening. This approach was tested against a benchmarked set of quantified extracellular interactions and shown to detect extremely weak interactions (KDs ≥ μM). This method will facilitate large-scale receptor interaction screening and contribute to the goal of mapping networks of cellular communication.

Abstract
Studying the dynamic interaction between host cells and pathogen is vital but remains technically challenging. We describe herein a time-resolved chemical proteomics strategy enabling host and pathogen temporal interaction profiling (HAPTIP) for tracking the entry of a pathogen into the host cell. A novel multifunctional chemical proteomics probe was introduced to label living bacteria followed by in vivo crosslinking of bacteria proteins to their interacting host-cell proteins at different time points initiated by UV for label-free quantitative proteomics analysis. We observed over 400 specific interacting proteins crosslinked with the probe during the formation of Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). This novel chemical proteomics approach provides a temporal interaction profile of host and pathogen in high throughput and would facilitate better understanding of the infection process at the molecular level.

Abstract
The influenza A virus (IAV) envelope protein hemagglutinin binds α2,6- or α2,3-linked sialic acid as a host cell receptor. Bat IAV subtypes H17N10 and H18N11 form an exception to this rule and do not bind sialic acid but enter cells via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II. Here, we review current knowledge on IAV receptors with a focus on sialoglycan variants, protein coreceptors, and alternative receptors that impact IAV attachment and internalization beyond the well-described sialic acid binding.

Abstract
Physiological functions depend on a coordinated interplay of numerous different cell types. Proteins serve as major signaling molecules between cells; however, their comprehensive investigation in physiologically relevant settings has remained challenging. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based shotgun proteomics is emerging as a powerful technology for the systematic analysis of protein-mediated intercellular signaling and regulated post-translational modifications. Here, we discuss recent advancements in cell biological, chemical, and biochemical MS-based approaches for the profiling of cellular messengers released by sending cells, receptors expressed on the cell surface, and their interactions. We highlight methods tailored toward the mapping of dynamic signal transduction mechanisms at cellular interfaces and approaches to dissect communication cell specifically in heterocellular systems. Thereby, MS-based proteomics contributes a unique systems biology perspective for the identification of intercellular signaling pathways deregulated in disease.

Classification of mouse B cell types using surfaceome proteotype maps. Nat Commun 2019; 10:5734.

Abstract
System-wide quantification of the cell surface proteotype and identification of extracellular glycosylation sites is challenging when samples are limited. Here, we miniaturize and automate the previously described Cell Surface Capture (CSC) technology, increasing sensitivity, reproducibility and throughput. We use this technology, which we call autoCSC, to create population-specific surfaceome maps of developing mouse B cells and use targeted flow cytometry to uncover developmental cell subpopulations. Analysis of the cell surface proteome (surfaceome) is essential for cell classification but is technically challenging. Here the authors miniaturize and automate the Cell Surface Capture method to increase sensitivity, reproducibility and throughput, and use it to create population-specific surfaceome maps of developing mouse B cells.

Abstract
Extracellular protein interactions coordinate cellular responses with their local
environment and have important roles in pathogen invasion and disease. Due to
technical challenges associated with studying binding events at the cell
surface, the systematic and reliable identification of novel ligand–receptor
pairs remains difficult. Here, we describe the development of a cell-based assay
using large-scale transient transfections and high-content imaging (HCI) to
detect extracellular binding events. We optimized the parameters for efficient
transfection of human cells with cDNA plasmids encoding full-length cell surface
receptors in 384-well plates. Using a range of well-characterized structurally
diverse low-affinity cell surface interactions, we show that transfected cells
probed with highly avid ligands can be used to successfully identify
ligand–receptor pairs using an HCI platform and automated image analysis
software. To establish the high-throughput potential of this approach, we also
screened a pool of ligands against a collection of 2455 cell surface expression
clones and found that known ligand–receptor interactions could be robustly and
consistently detected across the library using this technology.

Abstract
Cell surface proteins are essential for many important biological processes, including cell-cell interactions, signal transduction, and molecular transportation. With the characteristics of low abundance, high hydrophobicity, and high heterogeneity, it is difficult to get a comprehensive view of cell surface proteome by direct analysis. Thus, it is important to selectively enrich the cell surface proteins before liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis. In recent years, a variety of enrichment methods have been developed. Based on the separation mechanism, these methods could be mainly classified into three types. The first type is based on their difference in the physicochemical property, such as size, density, charge, and hydrophobicity. The second one is based on the bimolecular affinity interaction with lectin or antibody. And the third type is based on the chemical covalent coupling to free side groups of surface-exposed proteins or carbohydrate chains, such as primary amines, carboxyl groups, glycan side chains. In addition, metabolic labeling and enzymatic reaction-based methods have also been employed to selectively isolate cell surface proteins. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the enrichment methods for cell surface proteome profiling.

Abstract
Panning approaches using antibody libraries often result in the isolation of antibodies that bind to cells through an unknown cellular receptor. Here, we describe a protocol that uses ligand-directed crosslinking with the aminooxy-sulfhydryl-biotin (ASB) trifunctional crosslinker followed by a proteomic analysis to identify the cellular receptors for orphan ligands. We describe the synthesis of the ASB crosslinker, labelling of the ligand with ASB, and cell binding of the labelled ligands. Next, biotin affinity purification and trypsin digestion of cell surface proteins that have been crosslinked by ASB are described. Lastly, several hints and tips to improve the proteomic analysis for these types of samples are provided.

Abstract
Chemoproteomic approaches to identify ligand-receptor interactions have gained popularity. However, identifying transmembrane receptors remains challenging. A new trifunctional probe to aid the nonbiased identification of such receptors was developed and synthesized using a convenient seven-step synthesis. This probe contained three functional groups: 1) an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester for ligand-coupling through free amines, 2) a diazirine moiety to capture the receptor of interest upon irradiation with UV light, and 3) a biotin group which allowed affinity purification of the final adduct using streptavidin. The interaction between the G protein-coupled tachykinin neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor, expressed in an inducible manner, and the peptidic ligand substance P was used as a test system. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis confirmed successful coupling of the probe to substance P, while inositol monophosphate accumulation assays demonstrated that coupling of the probe did not interfere substantially with the substance P-NK1 receptor interaction. Confocal microscopy and western blotting provided evidence of the formation of a covalent bond between the probe and the NK1 receptor upon UV activation. As proof of concept, the probe was used in full ligand-based receptor-capture experiments to identify the substance P-binding receptor via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, resulting in the successful identification of only the NK1 receptor. This provides proof of concept toward general utilization of this probe to define interactions between ligands and previously unidentified plasma-membrane receptors.

Abstract
Objective The advent of ligand-based receptor capture methodologies, allows the identification of unknown receptor candidates for orphan extracellular ligands. However, further target validation can be tedious, laborious and time-consuming. Here, we present a methodology that provides a fast and cost-efficient alternative for candidate target verification on living cells. Results In the described methodology a ligand of interest (e.g. transferrin, epidermal growth factor or insulin) was conjugated to a linker (TriCEPS) that carries a biotin. To confirm ligand/receptor interactions, the ligand–TriCEPS conjugates were first added onto living cells and cells were subsequently labeled with a streptavidin-fluorophore and analyzed by flow cytometry (thus referred as Flow-TriCEPS). Flow-TriCEPS was also used to validate identified receptor candidates when combined with a siRNA knock down approach (i.e. reduction of expression levels). This approach is versatile as it can be applied for different classes of ligands (proteins, peptides, antibodies) and different cell lines. Moreover, the method is time-efficient since it takes advantage of the large variety of commercially available (and certified) siRNAs.

Abstract
Extracellular interactions between cell surface receptors are necessary for signaling and adhesion but identifying them remains technically challenging. We describe a cell-based genome-wide approach employing CRISPR activation to identify receptors for a defined ligand. We show receptors for high-affinity antibodies and low-affinity ligands can be unambiguously identified when used in pools or as individual binding probes. We apply this technique to identify ligands for the adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors and show that the Nogo myelin-associated inhibitory proteins are ligands for ADGRB1. This method will enable extracellular receptor-ligand identification on a genome-wide scale.

Abstract
Our previous work identified a 12-amino acid peptide that targets the heart, termed cardiac targeting peptide (CTP). We now quantitatively assess the bio-distribution of CTP, show a clinical application with the imaging of the murine heart, and study its mechanisms of transduction. Bio-distribution studies of cyanine5.5-N-Hydroxysuccinimide (Cy5.5) labeled CTP were undertaken in wild-type mice. Cardiac targeting peptide was labeled with Technetium 99m (99mTc) using the chelator hydrazino-nicotinamide (HYNIC), and imaging performed using micro-single photon emission computerized tomography/computerized tomography (SPECT/CT). Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMCs) were incubated with dual-labeled CTP, and imaged using confocal microscopy. TriCEPs technology was utilized to study the mechanism of transduction. Bio-distribution studies showed peak uptake of CTP at 15 min. 99mTc-HYNIC-CTP showed heart-specific uptake. Robust transduction of beating human iPSC-derived CMCs was seen. TriCEPs experiments revealed five candidate binding partners for CTP, with Kcnh5 being felt to be the most likely candidate as it showed a trend towards being competed out by siRNA knockdown. Transduction efficiency was enhanced by increasing extracellular potassium concentration, and with Quinidine, a Kcnh5 inhibitor, that blocks the channel in an open position. We demonstrate that CTP transduces the normal heart as early as 15 min. 99mTc-HYNIC-CTP targets the normal murine heart with substantially improved targeting compared with 99mTc Sestamibi. Cardiac targeting peptide's transduction ability is not species limited and has human applicability. Cardiac targeting peptide appears to utilize Kcnh5 to gain cell entry, a phenomenon that is affected by pre-treatment with Quinidine and changes in potassium levels.

Abstract
The reductionist view of 'one target-one drug' has fueled the development of therapeutic agents to treat human disease. However, many compounds that have efficacy in vitro are inactive in complex in vivo systems. It has become clear that a molecular understanding of signaling networks is needed to address disease phenotypes in the human body. Protein signaling networks function at the molecular level through information transfer via protein-protein interactions. Cell surface exposed proteins, termed the surfaceome, are the gatekeepers between the intra- and extracellular signaling networks, translating extracellular cues into intracellular responses and vice versa. As 66% of drugs in the DrugBank target the surfaceome, these proteins are a key source for potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In this review article, we will discuss current knowledge about the spatial organization and molecular interactions of the surfaceome and provide a perspective on the technologies available for studying the extracellular surfaceome interaction network.
