Abstract
Metalloenzymes are essential to cellular function, and their overexpression or enhanced activation are potential therapeutic targets. However, the study of metalloenzymes in vitro presents various challenges, leading many to develop tools to study them in their native cellular environment. Small-molecule fluorescence probes are commonly used to monitor metalloenzyme function, activity, and distribution in situ. These include probes that are activity-based (fluorescence is mediated by enzyme activity) or binding-based (fluorescence is mediated by interactions with the enzyme upon binding its metal cofactor). We discuss recent innovations that overcome key design challenges, such as the rapid diffusion of activity-based probes, the difficulty of probing redox-active enzymes, the selectivity of binding-based probes, and the poor penetration depth of fluorescence, and describe novel applications of these tools.

Abstract
Interactions between proteins and metal ions and their complexes are important in many areas of the life sciences, including physiology, medicine, and toxicology. Despite the involvement of essential elements in all major processes necessary for sustaining life, metalloproteomes remain ill-defined. This is not only owing to the complexity of metalloproteomes, but also to the non-covalent character of the complexes that most essential metals form, which complicates analysis. Similar issues may also be encountered for some toxic metals. The review discusses recently developed approaches and current challenges for the study of interactions involving entire (sub-)proteomes with such labile metal ions. In the second part, transition metals from the fourth and fifth periods are examined, most of which are xenobiotic and also tend to form more stable and/or inert complexes. A large research area in this respect concerns metallodrug-protein interactions. Particular attention is paid to separation approaches, as these need to be adapted to the reactivity of the metal under consideration.

Abstract
Metals are essential components in life processes and participate in many important biological processes. Dysregulation of metal homeostasis is correlated with many diseases. Metals are also frequently incorporated into diagnosis and therapeutics. Understanding of metal homeostasis under (patho)physiological conditions and the molecular mechanisms of action of metallodrugs in biological systems has positive impacts on human health. As an emerging interdisciplinary area of research, metalloproteomics involves investigating metal-protein interactions in biological systems at a proteome-wide scale, has received growing attention, and has been implemented into metal-related research. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in metalloproteomics methodologies and applications. We also highlight emerging single-cell metalloproteomics, including time-resolved inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, mass cytometry, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Finally, we discuss future perspectives in metalloproteomics, aiming to attract more original research to develop more advanced methodologies, which could be utilized rapidly by biochemists or biologists to expand our knowledge of how metal functions in biology and medicine. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Biochemistry, Volume 91 is June 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
Bismuth as a relatively non-toxic and inexpensive metal with exceptional properties has numerous biomedical applications. Bismuth-based compounds are used extensively as medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders including dyspepsia, gastric ulcers and H. pylori infections. Recently, its medicinal application was further extended to potential treatments of viral infection, multidrug resistant microbial infections, cancer and also imaging, drug delivery and biosensing. In this review we have highlighted the unique chemistry and biological chemistry of bismuth-209 as a prelude to sections covering the unique antibacterial activity of bismuth including a description of research undertaken to date to elucidate key molecular mechanisms of action against H. pylori, the development of novel compounds to treat infection from microbes beyond H. pylori and the significant role bismuth compounds can play as resistance breakers. Furthermore we have provided an account of the potential therapeutic application of bismuth-213 in targeted alpha therapy as well as a summary of the biomedical applications of bismuth-based nanoparticles and composites. Ultimately this review aims to provide the state of the art, highlight the untapped biomedical potential of bismuth and encourage original contributions to this exciting and important field.

Abstract
AbstractDer metallhaltige Wirkstoff BOLD‐100/KP1339 zeigte bereits vielversprechende Resultate in verschiedenen In vitro‐ und In vivo‐Tumormodellen sowie in klinischen Studien. Der detaillierte Wirkmechanismus wurde jedoch noch nicht komplett aufgeklärt. Als entscheidende Wirkstoffeffekte kristallisierten sich kürzlich die Stressinduktion im endoplasmatischen Retikulum (ER) und die damit einhergehende Modulierung von HSPA5 (GRP78) heraus. Das spontane und stabile Addukt zwischen BOLD‐100 und menschlichem Serumalbumin wurde als Immobilisierungsstrategie ausgewählt, um einen chemoproteomischen Ansatz auszuführen, der die ribosomalen Proteine RPL10, RPL24 und den Transkriptionsfaktor GTF2I als potentielle Interaktoren dieser Ru(III)‐Verbindung identifizierten. Dieses Ergebnis wurde mit proteomischen und transkriptomischen Profiling‐Experimenten kombiniert, was die Interpretation einer ribosomalen Beeinträchtigung sowie der Induktion von ER‐Stress unterstützte. Die Bildung von Polyribosomen und begleitende ER‐Schwellungen in behandelten Krebszellen wurden zudem durch TEM‐Messungen bestätigt. Somit scheint eine direkte Wechselwirkung von BOLD‐100 mit ribosomalen Proteinen die ER‐Stressinduktion und die Modulierung von GRP78 in Krebszellen zu begleiten.

Abstract
The ruthenium-based anticancer agent BOLD-100/KP1339 has shown promising results in several in vitro and in vivo tumour models as well as in early clinical trials. However, its mode of action remains to be fully elucidated. Recent evidence identified stress induction in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and concomitant down-modulation of HSPA5 (GRP78) as key drug effects. By exploiting the naturally formed adduct between BOLD-100 and human serum albumin as an immobilization strategy, we were able to perform target-profiling experiments that revealed the ribosomal proteins RPL10, RPL24, and the transcription factor GTF2I as potential interactors of this ruthenium(III) anticancer agent. Integrating these findings with proteomic profiling and transcriptomic experiments supported ribosomal disturbance and concomitant induction of ER stress. The formation of polyribosomes and ER swelling of treated cancer cells revealed by TEM validated this finding. Thus, the direct interaction of BOLD-100 with ribosomal proteins seems to accompany ER stress-induction and modulation of GRP78 in cancer cells.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the leading cause of severe tooth loss and edentulism in adults worldwide and is closely linked to systemic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis is the key pathogen in periodontitis. Herein, we provided the first evidence that bismuth drugs suppress P. gingivalis in its planktonic, biofilm, and intracellular states. In total, 42 bismuth-associated proteins were identified including its major virulent factors (e.g., gingipains, hemagglutinin HagA, and fimbriae). Bismuth perturbed its iron acquisition, disturbed the energy metabolism and virulence, and deactivated multiple key enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase and thioredoxins). Moreover, bismuth inhibited its biofilm formation and disrupted the 3-day matured biofilms. Notably, the internalized P. gingivalis in various human cells (e.g., human gingival epithelium progenitors, HGEPs) was oppressed by bismuth but not the commonly used antibiotic metronidazole. Importantly, bismuth drugs enabled the counteraction of immuno-inflammatory responses in different host cells perturbed by P. gingivalis. The production of IL-6 and IL-8 attenuated by P. gingivalis in both of native and IL-1β-stimulated HGEPs was restored, while the bacterium-enhanced expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNFα in THP-1 macrophages was alleviated. This proof-of-concept study brings prospects for the potential reposition of the routinely used anti-Helicobacter pylori bismuth drugs to better manage inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis and P. gingivalis-related complex systemic disorders.

Abstract
Medicinal inorganic chemistry has been largely stimulated by the clinic success of platinum anticancer drugs. An array of metal-based drugs (e.g. platinum, gold, bismuth, and silver) are currently used clinically for the treatment of various diseases. Integrating multiomics approaches, particularly metalloproteomics, with other biochemical characterizations enables comprehensive understanding of cellular responses of metallodrugs, which in turn will guide the rational design of a new drug and modification of the presently used drugs. This review aims to summarize the recent progress in this area. We will describe the technology platforms and their applications for uncovering the mechanisms of action of metallodrugs, for which remarkable advances have been achieved recently. Moreover, we will also highlight the application of newly generated knowledge for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
As a novel member of the two-dimensional nanomaterial family, mono- or few-layer black phosphorus (BP) with direct bandgap and high charge carrier mobility is promising in many applications such as microelectronic devices, photoelectronic devices, energy technologies, and catalysis agents. Due to its benign elemental composition (phosphorus), large surface area, electronic/photonic performances, and chemical/biological activities, BP has also demonstrated a great potential in biomedical applications including biosensing, photothermal/photodynamic therapies, controlled drug releases, and antibacterial uses. The nature of the BP-bio interface is comprised of dynamic contacts between nanomaterials (NMs) and biological systems, where BP and the biological system interact. The physicochemical interactions at the nano-bio interface play a critical role in the biological effects of NMs. In this review, we discuss the interface in the context of BP as a nanomaterial and its unique physicochemical properties that may affect its biological effects. Herein, we comprehensively reviewed the recent studies on the interactions between BP and biomolecules, cells, and animals and summarized various cellular responses, inflammatory/immunological effects, as well as other biological outcomes of BP depending on its own physical properties, exposure routes, and biodistribution. In addition, we also discussed the environmental behaviors and potential risks on environmental organisms of BP. Based on accumulating knowledge on the BP-bio interfaces, this review also summarizes various safer-by-design strategies to change the physicochemical properties including chemical stability and nano-bio interactions, which are critical in tuning the biological behaviors of BP. The better understanding of the biological activity of BP at BP-bio interfaces and corresponding methods to overcome the challenges would promote its future exploration in terms of bringing this new nanomaterial to practical applications.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes such as thiol-reactive and Ni2+-nitrilotriacetate (NTA) based probes provide a powerful toolbox for real-time visualization of a protein and a proteome in living cells. Herein, we first went through basic principles and applications of thiol-reactive based probes in protein imaging and recognition. We then summarize a family of metal-NTA based fluorescence probes in the visualization of His6-tagged protein and identification of metalloproteins at proteome-wide scale. The pros and cons of the probes, as well as ways to optimize them, are discussed.

Abstract
Combination of Ga(iii) with acetate greatly enhances the antimicrobial activity of Ga(iii) against P. aeruginosa, and shows promise to combat the crisis of antimicrobial resistance.
Gallium(iii) has been widely used as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent in clinics for the treatment of various diseases, in particular, Ga-based drugs have been exploited as antimicrobials to combat the crisis of antimicrobial resistance. The therapeutic properties of Ga(iii) are believed to be attributable to its chemical similarity to Fe(iii). However, the molecular mechanisms of action of gallium remain unclear. Herein, by integrating metalloproteomics with metabolomics and transcriptomics, we for the first time identified RpoB and RpoC, two subunits of RNA polymerase, as Ga-binding proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We show that Ga(iii) targets the essential transcription enzyme RNA polymerase to suppress RNA synthesis, resulting in reduced metabolic rates and energy utilization. Significantly, we show that exogenous supplementation of acetate could enhance the antimicrobial activity of Ga(iii), evidenced by the inhibited growth of persister cells and attenuated bacterial virulence. The effectiveness of co-therapy of Ga(iii) and acetate was further validated in mammalian cell and murine skin infection models, which is attributable to enhanced uptake of Ga(iii), and reduced TCA cycle flow and bacterial respiration. Our study provides novel insights into the mechanistic understanding of the antimicrobial activity of Ga(iii) and offers a safe and practical strategy of using metabolites to enhance the efficacy of Ga(iii)-based antimicrobials to fight drug resistance.

Abstract
Metallodrugs have been widely used as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Understanding their mechanisms of action may lead to advances in rational drug design. However, to achieve this, diversified approaches are required because of the complexity of metal-biomolecule interactions. Bismuth drugs in combination with antibiotics as a quadruple therapy show excellent success rates in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori, even for antibiotic-resistant strains, and in fact, they have been used in the clinic for decades for the treatment of infection. Understanding the mechanism of action of bismuth drugs may extend their medicinal application beyond the treatment of H. pylori infection. This Account describes several general strategies for mechanistic studies of metallodrugs, including system pharmacology and metalloproteomics approaches. The application of these approaches is exemplified using bismuth drugs. Through a system pharmacology approach, we showed that glutathione- and multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1-mediated self-propelled disposal of bismuth in human cells might explain the selective toxicity of bismuth drugs to H. pylori but not the human host. The development of metalloproteomics has enabled extensive studies of the putative protein targets of metallodrugs with a dynamic range of affinity. Continuous-flow GE-ICP-MS allows simultaneous monitoring of metals and their associated proteins with relatively high affinity on a proteome-wide scale. The fluorescence approach relies on unique M n+-NTA-based fluorescence probes and is particularly applicable for mining those proteins that bind to metals/metallodrugs weakly or transiently. Integration of these methods with quantitative proteomics makes it possible to maximum coverage of bismuth-associated proteins, and the sustained efficacy of bismuth drugs lies in their ability to disrupt multiple biological pathways through binding and functional perturbation of key enzymes. The knowledge acquired by mechanistic studies of bismuth drugs led to the discovery of UreG as a new target for the development of urease inhibitors. The ability of Bi(III) to inhibit metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) activity through displacement of the Zn(II) cofactor renders bismuth drugs new potential as broad-spectrum inhibitors of MBLs. Therefore, bismuth drugs could be repurposed together with clinically used antibiotics as a cotherapy to cope with the current antimicrobial resistance crisis. We anticipate that the methodologies described in this Account are generally applicable for understanding the (patho)physiological roles of metals/metallodrugs. Our mechanism-guided discovery of new druggable targets as well as new medicinal applications of bismuth drugs will inspire researchers in relevant fields to engage in the rational design of drugs and reuse of existing drugs, eventually leading to the development of new effective therapeutics.
