Mol Cell Proteomics 2024; 23:100754. [PMID: 38548019 PMCID: PMC11087715 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Improving coverage, robustness, and sensitivity is crucial for routine phosphoproteomics analysis by single-shot liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from minimal peptide inputs. Here, we systematically optimized key experimental parameters for automated on-bead phosphoproteomics sample preparation with a focus on low-input samples. Assessing the number of identified phosphopeptides, enrichment efficiency, site localization scores, and relative enrichment of multiply-phosphorylated peptides pinpointed critical variables influencing the resulting phosphoproteome. Optimizing glycolic acid concentration in the loading buffer, percentage of ammonium hydroxide in the elution buffer, peptide-to-beads ratio, binding time, sample, and loading buffer volumes allowed us to confidently identify >16,000 phosphopeptides in half-an-hour LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Exploris 480 using 30 μg of peptides as starting material. Furthermore, we evaluated how sequential enrichment can boost phosphoproteome coverage and showed that pooling fractions into a single LC-MS/MS analysis increased the depth. We also present an alternative phosphopeptide enrichment strategy based on stepwise addition of beads thereby boosting phosphoproteome coverage by 20%. Finally, we applied our optimized strategy to evaluate phosphoproteome depth with the Orbitrap Astral MS using a cell dilution series and were able to identify >32,000 phosphopeptides from 0.5 million HeLa cells in half-an-hour LC-MS/MS using narrow-window data-independent acquisition (nDIA).

Abstract
The localization, number, and function of postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) are crucial for synaptic plasticity, a cellular correlate for learning and memory. The Hippo pathway member WWC1 is an important component of AMPAR-containing protein complexes. However, the availability of WWC1 is constrained by its interaction with the Hippo pathway kinases LATS1 and LATS2 (LATS1/2). Here, we explored the biochemical regulation of this interaction and found that it is pharmacologically targetable in vivo. In primary hippocampal neurons, phosphorylation of LATS1/2 by the upstream kinases MST1 and MST2 (MST1/2) enhanced the interaction between WWC1 and LATS1/2, which sequestered WWC1. Pharmacologically inhibiting MST1/2 in male mice and in human brain-derived organoids promoted the dissociation of WWC1 from LATS1/2, leading to an increase in WWC1 in AMPAR-containing complexes. MST1/2 inhibition enhanced synaptic transmission in mouse hippocampal brain slices and improved cognition in healthy male mice and in male mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and aging. Thus, compounds that disrupt the interaction between WWC1 and LATS1/2 might be explored for development as cognitive enhancers.

Abstract
Global phosphoproteome profiling can provide insights into cellular signaling and disease pathogenesis. To achieve comprehensive phosphoproteomic analyses with minute quantities of material, we developed a rapid and sensitive phosphoproteomics sample preparation strategy based on ultrasound. We found that ultrasonication-assisted digestion can significantly improve peptide identification by 20% due to the generation of longer peptides that can be detected by mass spectrometry. By integrating this rapid ultrasound-assisted peptide-identification-enhanced proteomic method (RUPE) with streamlined phosphopeptide enrichment steps, we established RUPE-phospho, a fast and efficient strategy to characterize protein phosphorylation in mass-limited samples. This approach dramatically reduces the sample loss and processing time: 24 samples can be processed in 3 h; 5325 phosphosites, 4549 phosphopeptides, and 1888 phosphoproteins were quantified from 5 μg of human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cell lysate. In addition, 9219 phosphosites were quantified from 1-2 mg of OCT-embedded mouse brain with 120 min streamlined RUPE-phospho workflow. RUPE-phospho facilitates phosphoproteome profiling for microscale samples and will provide a powerful tool for proteomics-driven precision medicine research.

Abstract
Intratumoral heterogeneity impacts the success or failure of anti-cancer therapies. Here, we investigated the evolution and mechanistic heterogeneity in clonal populations of cell models for estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. To this end, we established barcoded models of luminal breast cancer and rendered them resistant to commonly applied first line endocrine therapies. By isolating single clones from the resistant cell pools and characterizing replicates of individual clones we observed inter- (between cell lines) and intra-tumor (between different clones from the same cell line) heterogeneity. Molecular characterization at RNA and phospho-proteomic levels revealed private clonal activation of the unfolded protein response and respective sensitivity to inhibition of the proteasome, and potentially shared sensitivities for repression of protein kinase C. Our in vitro findings are consistent with tumor-heterogeneity that is observed in breast cancer patients thus highlighting the need to uncover heterogeneity at an individual patient level and to adjust therapies accordingly.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. Despite advances in treatment, drug resistance remains a critical impediment. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein stability, localization, and activity, impacting vital cellular processes. Recent research has highlighted the essential role of PTMs in the development of CRC resistance. This review summarizes recent advancements in understanding PTMs' roles in CRC resistance, focusing on the latest discoveries. We discuss the functional impact of PTMs on signaling pathways and molecules involved in CRC resistance, progress in drug development, and potential therapeutic targets. We also summarize the primary enrichment methods for PTMs. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future directions, including the need for more comprehensive PTM analysis methods and PTM-targeted therapies. This review identifies potential therapeutic interventions for addressing medication resistance in CRC, proposes prospective therapeutic options, and gives an overview of the function of PTMs in CRC resistance.

Abstract
Despite available targeted treatments for the disease, drug-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) poses a clinical challenge. The objective of this study is to examine whether the dual-specific phosphatases DUSP1 and DUSP6 are required to negatively regulate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and thus counterbalance excessive MAPK activity. We show that high expression of DUSP6 in CLL correlates with poor clinical prognosis. Importantly, genetic deletion of the inhibitory phosphatase DUSP1 or DUSP6 and blocking DUSP1/6 function using a small-molecule inhibitor reduces CLL cell survival in vitro and in vivo. Using global phospho-proteome approaches, we observe acute activation of MAPK signaling by DUSP1/6 inhibition. This promotes accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and, thereby, DNA damage and apoptotic cell death in CLL cells. Finally, we observe that DUSP1/6 inhibition is particularly effective against treatment-resistant CLL and therefore suggest transient DUSP1/6 inhibition as a promising treatment concept to eliminate drug-resistant CLL cells.

Herein, we designed and synthesized two types of magnetic resin composites, i.e., MTS9200@Fe3O4 and FPA90CL@Fe3O4, and assessed their applications as adsorbents for enriching proteins, peptides and phosphopeptides. With the combination of Fe3+-IMAC interaction (MTS9200) or electrostatic attraction (FPA90CL) of resins and the adsorption of Fe3O4, the prepared composites exhibited higher capacities for adsorbing a protein (bovine serum albumin, at 195.71 and 135.03 mg g-1 for MTS9200@Fe3O4 and FPA90CL@Fe3O4, respectively) than MTS9200, FPA90CL and Fe3O4. In addition, due to the contributions of the hydrophobic skeleton of resins and Fe3O4, the magnetic resin composites allowed for efficient enrichment of peptides. Moreover, through Fe3+-IMAC interaction or electrostatic attraction of resins and Fe-O MOAC interaction of Fe3O4 with phosphate groups, phosphopeptides could also be captured. Furthermore, we employed the prepared composites for enriching proteins and phosphopeptides from human serum, where 466 and 506 proteins, and 434 and 356 phosphorylation sites, were detected from human serum after being processed with FPA90CL@Fe3O4 and MTS9200@Fe3O4, respectively. Together, our work revealed the great potential of magnetic resin composites as enrichment materials for proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis.

Abstract
Although most cancer drugs modulate the activities of cellular pathways by changing posttranslational modifications (PTMs), little is known regarding the extent and the time- and dose-response characteristics of drug-regulated PTMs. In this work, we introduce a proteomic assay called decryptM that quantifies drug-PTM modulation for thousands of PTMs in cells to shed light on target engagement and drug mechanism of action. Examples range from detecting DNA damage by chemotherapeutics, to identifying drug-specific PTM signatures of kinase inhibitors, to demonstrating that rituximab kills CD20-positive B cells by overactivating B cell receptor signaling. DecryptM profiling of 31 cancer drugs in 13 cell lines demonstrates the broad applicability of the approach. The resulting 1.8 million dose-response curves are provided as an interactive molecular resource in ProteomicsDB.

Abstract
The performance of the current bottom-up liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses has undoubtedly been fueled by spectacular progress in mass spectrometry. It is thus not surprising that the MS instrument attracts the most attention during LC-MS method development, whereas optimizing conditions for peptide separation using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) remains somewhat in its shadow. Consequently, the wisdom of the fundaments of chromatography is slowly vanishing from some laboratories. However, the full potential of advanced MS instruments cannot be achieved without highly efficient RPLC. This is impossible to attain without understanding fundamental processes in the chromatographic system and the properties of peptides important for their chromatographic behavior. We wrote this tutorial intending to give practitioners an overview of critical aspects of peptide separation using RPLC to facilitate setting the LC parameters so that they can leverage the full capabilities of their MS instruments. After briefly introducing the gradient separation of peptides, we discuss their properties that affect the quality of LC-MS chromatograms the most. Next, we address the in-column and extra-column broadening. The last section is devoted to key parameters of LC-MS methods. We also extracted trends in practice from recent bottom-up proteomics studies and correlated them with the current knowledge on peptide RPLC separation.

Abstract
The surface chemical characteristics of nanomaterials have a substantial impact on the affinity probe used to enrich proteins and peptides for MALDI-MS analysis of a real human sample. Detecting phosphoproteins involved in signalling is always difficult, even with recent developments in mass spectrometry, because protein phosphorylation is often temporary from complicated mixtures. This review summarizes current research on the successful enrichment of various intriguing glycoproteins and glycol peptides using surface affinity materials with distinctive qualities such as low cost, excellent structural stability, diversity, and multifunction. As a consequence, this review will provide a quick overview of the scholars from various backgrounds who are working in this intriguing interdisciplinary field. Label-free cancer biomarkers and other diseases will benefit from future challenges.

Abstract
Metal-Chelating Peptides (MCPs), obtained from protein hydrolysates, present various applications in the field of nutrition, pharmacy, cosmetic etc. The separation of MCPs from hydrolysates mixture is challenging, yet, techniques based on peptide-metal ion interactions such as Immobilized Metal Ion Affinity Chromatography (IMAC) seem to be efficient. However, separation processes are time consuming and expensive, therefore separation prediction using chromatography modelling and simulation should be necessary. Meanwhile, the obtention of sorption isotherm for chromatography modelling is a crucial step. Thus, Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), a biosensor method efficient to screen MCPs in hydrolysates and with similarities to IMAC might be a good option to acquire sorption isotherm. This review highlights IMAC experimental methodology to separate MCPs and how, IMAC chromatography can be modelled using transport dispersive model and input data obtained from SPR for peptides separation simulation.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, due in part to their distinct immune system, characterized by impaired induction of Th 1 immunity. Here we show application of cationic adjuvant formulation CAF08, a liposomal vaccine formulation tailored to induce Th 1 immunity in early life via synergistic engagement of Toll-like Receptor 7/8 and the C-type lectin receptor Mincle. We apply quantitative phosphoproteomics to human dendritic cells and reveal a role for Protein Kinase C-δ for enhanced Th1 cytokine production in neonatal dendritic cells and identify signaling events resulting in antigen cross-presentation. In a murine in vivo model a single immunization at birth with CAF08-adjuvanted RSV pre-fusion antigen protects newborn mice from RSV infection by induction of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells and Th1 cells. Overall, we describe a pediatric adjuvant formulation and characterize its mechanism of action providing a promising avenue for development of early life vaccines against RSV and other respiratory viral pathogens.

Abstract
![]()
With increasing sensitivity and accuracy in mass spectrometry,
the tumor phosphoproteome is getting into reach. However, the selection
of quantitation techniques best-suited to the biomedical question
and diagnostic requirements remains a trial and error decision as
no study has directly compared their performance for tumor tissue
phosphoproteomics. We compared label-free quantification (LFQ), spike-in-SILAC
(stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture), and tandem
mass tag (TMT) isobaric tandem mass tags technology for quantitative
phosphosite profiling in tumor tissue. Compared to the classic SILAC
method, spike-in-SILAC is not limited to cell culture analysis, making
it suitable for quantitative analysis of tumor tissue samples. TMT
offered the lowest accuracy and the highest precision and robustness
toward different phosphosite abundances and matrices. Spike-in-SILAC
offered the best compromise between these features but suffered from
a low phosphosite coverage. LFQ offered the lowest precision but the
highest number of identifications. Both spike-in-SILAC and LFQ presented
susceptibility to matrix effects. Match between run (MBR)-based analysis
enhanced the phosphosite coverage across technical replicates in LFQ
and spike-in-SILAC but further reduced the precision and robustness
of quantification. The choice of quantitative methodology is critical
for both study design such as sample size in sample groups and quantified
phosphosites and comparison of published cancer phosphoproteomes.
Using ovarian cancer tissue as an example, our study builds a resource
for the design and analysis of quantitative phosphoproteomic studies
in cancer research and diagnostics.

Abstract
Protein purification is a complex and non-standardized process; the fact that proteins have different structural types making it difficult to create a standard methodology to obtain them in a pure, soluble, and homogeneous form. The present study shows the selective development of a buffer suitable for proteins of interest that allows high concentrations of hGPN2 protein to be obtained with low polydispersion and high homogeneity and purity. By taking the different reagents used in the construction of different buffers as a basis and performing purifications using different additives in different concentrations to determine the optimal amounts, the developed process helps to minimize the bonds, maintain solubility, release the proteins present in inclusion bodies, and provide an adequate environment for obtaining high concentrations of pure protein. GPN proteins are of unknown function, have not been purified in high concentrations, and have been found as part of the RNA polymerase assembly; if they are not expressed, the cell dies, and overexpression of certain GPN proteins has been linked to decreased survival in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer types ER+ and HER2+. The results of the present study show that the use of the buffer developed for recombinant hGPN2 protein expressed in Escherichia coli could be manipulated in order to isolate the protein in a totally pure form and without the use of protease inhibitor tablets. The resulting homogeneity and low polydispersion was corroborated by studies carried out using dynamic dispersion analysis. Thanks to these properties, it can be used for crystallography or structural genomics studies.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the costliest health problems and ranks second in cancer-related mortality in developed countries. With the aid of proteomics, many protein biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and precise management of CRC have been identified. Furthermore, some protein biomarkers exhibit structural diversity after modifications. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), most of which are catalyzed by a variety of enzymes, extensively increase protein diversity and are involved in many complex and dynamic cellular processes through the regulation of protein function. Accumulating evidence suggests that abnormal PTM events are associated with a variety of human diseases, such as CRC, thus highlighting the need for studying PTMs to discover both the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets of CRC. In this review, we begin with a brief overview of the importance of protein PTMs, discuss the general strategies for proteomic profiling of several key PTMs (including phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, methylation, and citrullination), shift the emphasis to describing the specific methods used for delineating the global landscapes of each of these PTMs, and summarize the recent applications of these methods to explore the potential roles of the PTMs in CRC. Finally, we discuss the current status of PTM research on CRC and provide future perspectives on how PTM regulation can play an essential role in translational medicine for early diagnosis, prognosis stratification, and therapeutic intervention in CRC.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate complex biological processes through the modulation of protein activity, stability, and localization. Insights into the specific modification type and localization within a protein sequence can help ascertain functional significance. Computational models are increasingly demonstrated to offer a low-cost, high-throughput method for comprehensive PTM predictions. Algorithms are optimized using existing experimental PTM data, thus accurate prediction performance relies on the creation of robust datasets. Herein, advancements in mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies to maximize PTM coverage are reviewed. Further, requisite experimental validation approaches for PTM predictions are explored to ensure that follow-up mechanistic studies are focused on accurate modification sites.

Molecular Proteomics and Signalling of Human Platelets in Health and Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22189860.

Abstract
Platelets are small anucleate blood cells that play vital roles in haemostasis and thrombosis, besides other physiological and pathophysiological processes. These roles are tightly regulated by a complex network of signalling pathways. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic techniques are contributing not only to the identification and quantification of new platelet proteins, but also reveal post-translational modifications of these molecules, such as acetylation, glycosylation and phosphorylation. Moreover, target proteomic analysis of platelets can provide molecular biomarkers for genetic aberrations with established or non-established links to platelet dysfunctions. In this report, we review 67 reports regarding platelet proteomic analysis and signalling on a molecular base. Collectively, these provide detailed insight into the: (i) technical developments and limitations of the assessment of platelet (sub)proteomes; (ii) molecular protein changes upon ageing of platelets; (iii) complexity of platelet signalling pathways and functions in response to collagen, rhodocytin, thrombin, thromboxane A2 and ADP; (iv) proteomic effects of endothelial-derived mediators such as prostacyclin and the anti-platelet drug aspirin; and (v) molecular protein changes in platelets from patients with congenital disorders or cardiovascular disease. However, sample sizes are still low and the roles of differentially expressed proteins are often unknown. Based on the practical and technical possibilities and limitations, we provide a perspective for further improvements of the platelet proteomic field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many pathologies, including cancer, have been associated with aberrant phosphorylation-mediated signaling networks that drive altered cell proliferation, migration, metabolic regulation, and can lead to systemic inflammation. Phosphoproteomics, the large-scale analysis of protein phosphorylation sites, has emerged as a powerful tool to define signaling network regulation and dysregulation in normal and pathological conditions. AREAS COVERED We provide an overview of methodology for global phosphoproteomics as well as enrichment of specific subsets of the phosphoproteome, including phosphotyrosine and phospho-motif enrichment of kinase substrates. We review quantitative methods, advantages and limitations of different mass spectrometry acquisition formats, and computational approaches to extract biological insight from phosphoproteomics data. Throughout, we discuss various applications and their challenges in implementation. EXPERT OPINION Over the past 20 years the field of phosphoproteomics has advanced to enable deep biological and clinical insight through the quantitative analysis of signaling networks. Future areas of development include Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved methods for analysis of clinical samples, continued improvements in sensitivity to enable analysis of small numbers of rare cells and tissue microarrays, and computational methods to integrate data resulting from multiple systems-level quantitative analytical methods.

Abstract
Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) have co-evolved with their mammalian hosts for millions of years, leading to remarkable host specificity and high infection prevalence. Macrophages, which already populate barrier tissues in the embryo, are the predominant immune cells at potential CMV entry sites. Here we show that, upon CMV infection, macrophages undergo a morphological, immunophenotypic, and metabolic transformation process with features of stemness, altered migration, enhanced invasiveness, and provision of the cell cycle machinery for viral proliferation. This complex process depends on Wnt signaling and the transcription factor ZEB1. In pulmonary infection, mouse CMV primarily targets and reprograms alveolar macrophages, which alters lung physiology and facilitates primary CMV and secondary bacterial infection by attenuating the inflammatory response. Thus, CMV profoundly perturbs macrophage identity beyond established limits of plasticity and rewires specific differentiation processes, allowing viral spread and impairing innate tissue immunity.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is a form of protein posttranslational modification (PTM) that regulates many biological processes. Whereas phosphoproteomics is a scientific discipline that identifies and quantifies the phosphorylated proteome using mass spectrometry (MS). This task is extremely challenging as ~30% of the human proteome is phosphorylated; and each phosphoprotein may exist as multiple phospho-isoforms that are present in low abundance and stoichiometry. Hence, phosphopeptide enrichment techniques are indispensable to (phospho)proteomics laboratories. These enrichment methods encompass widely-adopted techniques such as (i) affinity-based chromatography; (ii) ion exchange and mixed-mode chromatography (iii) enrichment with phospho-specific antibodies and protein domains, and (iv) functionalized polymers and other less common but emerging technologies such as hydroxyapatite chromatography and precipitation with inorganic ions. Here, we review these techniques, their history, continuous development and evaluation. Besides, we outline associating challenges of phosphoproteomics that are linked to experimental design, sample preparation, and proteolytic digestion. In addition, we also discuss about the future outlooks in phosphoproteomics, focusing on elucidating the noncanonical phosphoproteome and deciphering the "dark phosphoproteome". © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
A well-hydrated counterion can selectively and dramatically increase retention of a charged analyte in hydrophilic interaction chromatography. The effect is enhanced if the column is charged, as in electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC). This combination was exploited in proteomics for the isolation of peptides with certain post-translational modifications (PTMs). The best salt additive examined was magnesium trifluoroacetate. The well-hydrated Mg+2 ion promoted retention of peptides with functional groups that retained negative charge at low pH, while the poorly hydrated trifluoroacetate counterion tuned down the retention due to the basic residues. The result was an enhancement in selectivity ranging from 6- to 66-fold. These conditions were applied to a tryptic digest of mouse cortex. Gradient elution produced fractions enriched in peptides with phosphate, mannose-6-phosphate, and N- and O-linked glycans. The numbers of such peptides identified either equaled or exceeded the numbers afforded by the best alternative methods. This method is a productive and convenient way to isolate peptides simultaneously that contain a number of different PTMs, facilitating study of proteins with "crosstalk" modifications. The fractions from the ERLIC column were desalted prior to C-18-reversed phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Between 47-100% of the peptides with more than one phosphate or sialyl residue or with a mannose-6 phosphate group were not retained by a C-18 cartridge but were retained by a cartridge of porous graphitic carbon. This finding implies that the abundance of such peptides may have been significantly underestimated in some past studies.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) add a layer of complexity to the proteome through the addition of biochemical moieties to specific residues of proteins, altering their structure, function and/or localization. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques are at the forefront of PTM analysis due to their ability to detect large numbers of modified proteins with a high level of sensitivity and specificity. The low stoichiometry of modified peptides means fractionation and enrichment techniques are often performed prior to MS to improve detection yields. Immuno-based techniques remain popular, with improvements in the quality of commercially available modification-specific antibodies facilitating the detection of modified proteins with high affinity. PTM-focused studies on blood cancers have provided information on altered cellular processes, including cell signaling, apoptosis and transcriptional regulation, that contribute to the malignant phenotype. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of many blood cancer therapies, such as kinase inhibitors, involves inhibiting or modulating protein modifications. Continued optimization of protocols and techniques for PTM analysis in blood cancer will undoubtedly lead to novel insights into mechanisms of malignant transformation, proliferation, and survival, in addition to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This review discusses techniques used for PTM analysis and their applications in blood cancer research.

Abstract

Protein histidine
phosphorylation
(pHis) is involved in molecular signaling networks in bacteria, fungi,
plants, and higher eukaryotes including mammals and is implicated
in human diseases such as cancer. Detailed investigations of the pHis
modification are hampered due to its acid-labile nature and consequent
lack of tools to study this post-translational modification (PTM).
We here demonstrate three molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based
reagents, MIP1–MIP3, for enrichment of pHis peptides and subsequent
characterization by chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
The combination of MIP1 and β-elimination provided some selectivity
for improved detection of pHis peptides. MIP2 was amenable to larger
pHis peptides, although with poor selectivity. Microsphere-based MIP3
exhibited improved selectivity and was amenable to enrichment and
detection by LC–MS of pHis peptides in tryptic digests of protein
mixtures. These MIP protocols do not involve any acidic solvents during
sample preparation and enrichment, thus preserving the pHis modification.
The presented proof-of-concept results will lead to new protocols
for highly selective enrichment of labile protein phosphorylations
using molecularly imprinted materials.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of proteins modulates various functions of proteins and plays an important role in the regulation of cell signaling. In recent years, label-free quantitative (LFQ) phosphoproteomics has become a powerful tool to analyze the phosphorylation of proteins within complex samples. Despite the great progress, the studies of protein phosphorylation are still limited in throughput, robustness, and reproducibility, hampering analyses that involve multiple perturbations, such as those needed to follow the dynamics of phosphoproteomes. To address these challenges, we introduce here the LFQ phosphoproteomics workflow that is based on Fe-IMAC phosphopeptide enrichment followed by strong anion exchange (SAX) and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) fractionation strategies. We applied this workflow to analyze the whole-cell phosphoproteome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Using this strategy, we identified 8353 phosphosites from which 1274 were newly identified. This provides a significant addition to the S. pombe phosphoproteome. The results of our study highlight that combining of PGC and SAX fractionation strategies substantially increases the robustness and specificity of LFQ phosphoproteomics. Overall, the presented LFQ phosphoproteomics workflow opens the door for studies that would get better insight into the complexity of the protein kinase functions of the fission yeast S. pombe.

Abstract
Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has matured into a potent tool to identify protein-protein interactions or to uncover protein structures in living cells, tissues, or organelles. The unique ability to investigate the interplay of proteins within their native environment delivers valuable complementary information to other advanced structural biology techniques. This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the current possible applications as well as the remaining limitations of the technique, focusing on cross-linking in highly complex biological systems like cells, organelles, or tissues. Thanks to the commercial availability of most reagents and advances in user-friendly data analysis, validation, and visualization tools, studies using XL-MS can, in theory, now also be utilized by nonexpert laboratories.

Abstract
Pituitary adenoma (PA) is a common intracranial neoplasm, which affects the hypothalamus-pituitary-target organ axis systems, and is hazardous to human health. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, nitration, and sumoylation, are vitally important in the PA pathogenesis. The large-scale analysis of PTMs could provide a global view of molecular mechanisms for PA. Proteoforms, which are used to define various protein structural and functional forms originated from the same gene, are the future direction of proteomics research. The global studies of different proteoforms and PTMs of hypophyseal hormones such as growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) and the proportion change of different GH proteoforms or PRL proteoforms in human pituitary tissue could provide new insights into the clinical value of pituitary hormones in PAs. Multiple quantitative proteomics methods, including mass spectrometry (MS)-based label-free and stable isotope-labeled strategies in combination with different PTM-peptide enrichment methods such as TiO2 enrichment of tryptic phosphopeptides and antibody enrichment of other PTM-peptides increase the feasibility for researchers to study PA proteomes. This article reviews the research status of PTMs and proteoforms in PAs, including the enrichment method, technical limitation, quantitative proteomics strategies, and the future perspectives, to achieve the goals of in-depth understanding its molecular pathogenesis, and discovering effective biomarkers and clinical therapeutic targets for predictive, preventive, and personalized treatment of PA patients.

Abstract
Cell signalling is tightly regulated by post-translational modification of proteins. Among them, phosphorylation is one of the most interesting and important. Identifying phosphorylation sites on proteins is challenging and requires strategies for pre-separation and enrichment of the phosphorylated species. We applied four different methods for phospho-enrichment involving TiO2 and IMAC matrix to human melanoma cell lysates of starved A375 induced for 1 h with 1% FBS. Comparison of protocol efficiency was evaluated through peptide concentration, sulphur and phosphorus content and peptide analysis by LC-MS in the collected fractions. Our results underlined that each single method is not sufficient for a comprehensive phosphoproteome analysis. In fact, each methodology permits to identify only a fraction of the phosphoproteome contained in a whole cell lysate. The selection of the most efficient protocols and a combination of two phospho-enrichment methods allowed the assessment of this workflow able to pinpoint the main actors in the phospho-proteome cascade of A375 human melanoma cells treated with Vemurafenib.

Abstract
Phosphopeptide enrichment is an essential step in large-scale, quantitative phosphoproteomics by mass spectrometry. Several phosphopeptide affinity enrichment techniques exist, such as immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC). We compared zirconium(IV) IMAC (Zr-IMAC) magnetic microparticles to more commonly used titanium(IV) IMAC (Ti-IMAC) and TiO2 magnetic microparticles for phosphopeptide enrichment from simple and complex protein samples prior to phosphopeptide sequencing and characterization by mass spectrometry (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, LC-MS/MS). We optimized sample-loading conditions to increase phosphopeptide recovery for Zr-IMAC-, Ti-IMAC-, and TiO2-based workflows by 22, 24, and 35%, respectively. The optimized protocol resulted in improved performance of Zr-IMAC over Ti-IMAC and TiO2 as well as high-performance liquid chromatography-based Fe(III)-IMAC with up to 23% more identified phosphopeptides. The different enrichment chemistries showed a high degree of overlap but also differences in phosphopeptide selectivity and complementarity. We conclude that Zr-IMAC improves phosphoproteome coverage and recommend that this complementary and scalable affinity enrichment method is more widely used in biological and biomedical studies of cell signaling and the search for biomarkers. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD018273.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive cancers and known for its extensive genetic heterogeneity, high therapeutic resistance, and strong variation in intrinsic radiosensitivity. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying radioresistance, we screened the phenotypic response of 38 PDAC cell lines to ionizing radiation. Subsequent phosphoproteomic analysis of two representative sensitive and resistant lines led to the reproducible identification of 7,800 proteins and 13,000 phosphorylation sites (p-sites). Approximately 700 p-sites on 400 proteins showed abundance changes after radiation in all cell lines regardless of their phenotypic sensitivity. Apart from recapitulating known radiation response phosphorylation markers such as on proteins involved in DNA damage repair, the analysis uncovered many novel members of a radiation-responsive signaling network that was apparent only at the level of protein phosphorylation. These regulated p-sites were enriched in potential ATM substrates and in vitro kinase assays corroborated 10 of these. Comparing the proteomes and phosphoproteomes of radiosensitive and -resistant cells pointed to additional tractable radioresistance mechanisms involving apoptotic proteins. For instance, elevated NADPH quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) expression in radioresistant cells may aid in clearing harmful reactive oxygen species. Resistant cells also showed elevated phosphorylation levels of proteins involved in cytoskeleton organization including actin dynamics and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity and one resistant cell line showed a strong migration phenotype. Pharmacological inhibition of the kinases FAK by Defactinib and of CHEK1 by Rabusertib showed a statistically significant sensitization to radiation in radioresistant PDAC cells. Together, the presented data map a comprehensive molecular network of radiation-induced signaling, improves the understanding of radioresistance and provides avenues for developing radiotherapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The phosphatases PP1 and PP2A are responsible for the majority of dephosphorylation reactions on phosphoserine (pSer) and phosphothreonine (pThr), and are involved in virtually all cellular processes and numerous diseases. The catalytic subunits exist in cells in form of holoenzymes, which impart substrate specificity. The contribution of the catalytic subunits to the recognition of substrates is unclear. By developing a phosphopeptide library approach and a phosphoproteomic assay, we demonstrate that the specificity of PP1 and PP2A holoenzymes towards pThr and of PP1 for basic motifs adjacent to the phosphorylation site are due to intrinsic properties of the catalytic subunits. Thus, we dissect this amino acid specificity of the catalytic subunits from the contribution of regulatory proteins. Furthermore, our approach enables discovering a role for PP1 as regulator of the GRB-associated-binding protein 2 (GAB2)/14-3-3 complex. Beyond this, we expect that this approach is broadly applicable to detect enzyme-substrate recognition preferences. The substrate specificity of phosphoprotein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A depends on their catalytic and regulatory subunits. Using proteomics approaches, the authors here provide insights into the sequence specificity of the catalytic subunits and their distinct contributions to PP1 and PP2A selectivity.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation regulates a large variety of biological processes in all living cells. In pathogenic bacteria, the study of serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) phosphorylation has shed light on the course of infectious diseases, from adherence to host cells to pathogen virulence, replication, and persistence. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics has provided global maps of Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphosites in bacterial pathogens. Despite recent developments, a quantitative and dynamic view of phosphorylation events that occur during bacterial pathogenesis is currently lacking. Temporal, spatial, and subpopulation resolution of phosphorylation data is required to identify key regulatory nodes underlying bacterial pathogenesis. Herein, we discuss how technological improvements in sample handling, MS instrumentation, data processing, and machine learning should improve bacterial phosphoproteomic datasets and the information extracted from them. Such information is expected to significantly extend the current knowledge of Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation in pathogenic bacteria and should ultimately contribute to the design of novel strategies to combat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful and sensitive method often used for the identification of phosphoproteins. However, in phosphoproteomics, there is an identified need to compensate for the low abundance, insufficient ionization, and suppression effects of non-phosphorylated peptides. These may hamper the subsequent liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis, resulting in incomplete phosphoproteome characterization, even when using high-resolution instruments. To overcome these drawbacks, we present here an effective microgradient chromatographic technique that yields specific fractions of enriched phosphopeptides compatible with LC–MS/MS analysis. The purpose of our study was to increase the number of identified phosphopeptides, and thus, the coverage of the sample phosphoproteome using the reproducible and straightforward fractionation method. This protocol includes a phosphopeptide enrichment step followed by the optimized microgradient fractionation of enriched phosphopeptides and final LC–MS/MS analysis of the obtained fractions. The simple fractionation system consists of a gas-tight microsyringe delivering the optimized gradient mobile phase to reversed-phase microcolumn. Our data indicate that combining the phosphopeptide enrichment with the microgradient separation is a promising technique for in-depth phosphoproteomic analysis due to moderate input material requirements and more than 3-fold enhanced protein identification.

Abstract
The symptoms of African sleeping sickness, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, can include periods of fever as high as 41 °C which triggers a heat shock response in the parasite. To capture events involved in sensing and responding to heat shock in the mammalian infective form we have conducted a SILAC-based quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of T. brucei cells treated at 41 °C for 1h. Our analysis identified 193 heat shock responsive phosphorylation sites with an average of 5-fold change in abundance, but only 20 heat shock responsive proteins with average of 1.5-fold change. These data indicate that protein abundance does not rapidly respond (≤1 h) to heat shock, and that the changes observed in phosphorylation site abundance are larger and more widespread. The heat shock responsive phosphorylation sites showed enrichment of RNA binding proteins with putative roles in heat shock response included P-body / stress granules and the eukaryotic translation initiation 4F complex. The ZC3H11-MKT1 complex, which stabilises mRNAs of thermotolerance proteins, appears to represent a key signal integration node in the heat shock response. SIGNIFICANCE: We report the first quantitative study of changes in protein and phosphorylation site abundance in response to heat shock in the clinically relevant form of the human parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The identification of heat shock responsive phosphorylation sites on proteins with putative roles in thermotolerance including the ZC3H11-MKT1 complex provides evidence of the role dynamic phosphorylation of RNA binding proteins in co-ordinating heat shock. Temperature changes in the host are a major physiological challenge to parasites and factors conferring tolerance to heat shock constitute overlooked virulence factors. A better understanding of these virulence factors will pave the way for the development of novel drug therapies which selectively target T. brucei.

Abstract
Significant technical advancements in phosphopeptide enrichment have enabled the identification of thousands of p-peptides (mono and multiply phosphorylated) in a single experiment. However, it is still not possible to enrich all p-peptide species in a single step. A range of new techniques and materials has been developed, with the potential to provide a step-change in phosphopeptide enrichment. The first half of this review contains a tutorial for new potential phosphoproteomic researchers; discussing the key steps of a typical phosphoproteomic experiment used to investigate canonical phosphorylation sites (serine, threonine and tyrosine). The latter half then show-cases the latest developments in p-peptide enrichment including: i) Strategies to mitigate non-specific binding in immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography and metal oxide affinity chromatography protocols; ii) Techniques to separate multiply phosphorylated peptides from monophosphorylated peptides (including canonical from non-canonical phosphorylated peptides), or to simultaneously co-enrich other post-translational modifications; iii) New hybrid materials and methods directed towards enhanced selectivity and efficiency of metal-based enrichment; iv) Novel materials that hold promise for enhanced phosphotyrosine enrichment. A combination of well-understood techniques and materials is much more effective than any technique in isolation; but the field of phosphoproteomics currently requires benchmarking of novel materials against current methodologies to fully evaluate their utility in peptide based proteoform analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have revealed decreased mitochondrial respiration in adipocytes of obese mice. This study aimed to identify the molecular underpinnings of altered mitochondrial metabolism in adipocytes. METHODS Untargeted proteomics of mitochondria isolated from adipocytes and metabolite profiling of adipose tissues were conducted in diet-induced obese (DIO) and lean mice. Subcutaneous and intra-abdominal adipose tissues were studied to depict depot-specific alterations. RESULTS In subcutaneous adipocytes of DIO mice, changes in proteins related to mitochondrial structure and function were observed. Mitochondrial proteins of the inner and outer membrane were strongly reduced, whereas proteins of key matrix metabolic pathways were increased in the obese versus lean state, as further substantiated by metabolite profiling. A pronounced decrease in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) enzymatic equipment and cristae density of the inner membrane was identified. In intra-abdominal adipocytes, similar systematic downregulation of the OXPHOS machinery in obesity occurred, but there was no regulation of outer membrane or matrix proteins. CONCLUSIONS Protein components of the OXPHOS machinery are systematically downregulated in adipose tissues of DIO mice compared with lean mice. Loss of the mitochondrial OXPHOS capacity in adipocytes may aggravate the development of metabolic disease.

Localized Inhibition of Protein Phosphatase 1 by NUAK1 Promotes Spliceosome Activity and Reveals a MYC-Sensitive Feedback Control of Transcription. Mol Cell 2020; 77:1322-1339.e11. [PMID: 32006464 PMCID: PMC7086158 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2020.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2019] [Revised: 12/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Deregulated expression of MYC induces a dependence on the NUAK1 kinase, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this dependence have not been fully clarified. Here, we show that NUAK1 is a predominantly nuclear protein that associates with a network of nuclear protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) interactors and that PNUTS, a nuclear regulatory subunit of PP1, is phosphorylated by NUAK1. Both NUAK1 and PNUTS associate with the splicing machinery. Inhibition of NUAK1 abolishes chromatin association of PNUTS, reduces spliceosome activity, and suppresses nascent RNA synthesis. Activation of MYC does not bypass the requirement for NUAK1 for spliceosome activity but significantly attenuates transcription inhibition. Consequently, NUAK1 inhibition in MYC-transformed cells induces global accumulation of RNAPII both at the pause site and at the first exon-intron boundary but does not increase mRNA synthesis. We suggest that NUAK1 inhibition in the presence of deregulated MYC traps non-productive RNAPII because of the absence of correctly assembled spliceosomes. Nuclear NUAK1 associates with PP1 and phosphorylates its targeting subunit PNUTS NUAK1, PP1, and PNUTS form a trimer that associates with the splicing machinery Inhibition of NUAK1 reduces spliceosome activity and nascent RNA synthesis When MYC is deregulated, NUAK1 inhibition traps RNAPII at the intron-exon boundary

Influence of Plasmodium falciparum Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase 5 (PfCDPK5) on the Late Schizont Stage Phosphoproteome. mSphere 2020; 5:e00921-19. [PMID: 31915223 PMCID: PMC6952208 DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00921-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Protein kinases are important mediators of signal transduction in cellular pathways, and calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) compose a unique class of calcium-dependent kinases present in plants and apicomplexans, including Plasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria. During the asexual stage of infection, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum grows inside red blood cells, and P. falciparum calcium-dependent protein kinase 5 (PfCDPK5) is required for egress from the host cell. In this paper, we characterize the late-schizont-stage P. falciparum phosphoproteome by performing large-scale phosphoproteomic profiling on tightly synchronized parasites just prior to egress, identifying 2,704 phosphorylation sites on 919 proteins. Using a conditional knockdown of PfCDPK5, we identify 58 phosphorylation sites on 50 proteins with significant reduction in levels of PfCDPK5-deficient parasites. Furthermore, gene ontology analysis of the identified proteins reveals enrichment in transmembrane- and membrane-associated proteins and in proteins associated with transport activity. Among the identified proteins is PfNPT1, a member of the apicomplexan-specific novel putative transporter (NPT) family of proteins. We show that PfNPT1 is a potential substrate of PfCDPK5 and that PfNPT1 localizes to the parasite plasma membrane. Importantly, P. falciparum egress relies on many proteins unique to Apicomplexa that are therefore attractive targets for antimalarial therapeutics.IMPORTANCE The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The P. falciparum parasite proliferates inside red blood cells during the blood stage of infection, and egress from the red blood cell is critical for parasite survival. P. falciparum calcium-dependent protein kinase 5 (PfCDPK5) is essential for egress; parasites deficient in PfCDPK5 remain trapped inside their host cells. We have used a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry approach to identify the phosphoproteome of schizont-stage parasites just prior to egress and identify 50 proteins that display a significant reduction in phosphorylation in PfCDPK5-deficient parasites. We show that a member of the Apicomplexan-specific transport protein family, PfNPT1 is a potential substrate of PfCDPK5 and is localized to the parasite plasma membrane. P. falciparum egress requires several proteins not present in human cells, thus making this pathway an ideal target for new therapeutics.

Abstract
Recently, the rapid development and application of mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies have markedly improved the comprehensive proteomic characterization of global proteome and protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, the current conventional approach for global proteomic analysis is often carried out separately from PTM analysis. In our study, we developed an integrated workflow for multiplex analysis of global, glyco-, and phospho-proteomics using breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor samples. Our approach included the following steps: trypsin-digested tumor samples were enriched for phosphopeptides through immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), followed by enrichment of glycopeptides through mixed anion exchange (MAX) method, and then the flow-through peptides were analyzed for global proteomics. Our workflow demonstrated an increased identification of peptides and associated proteins in global proteome, as compared to those using the peptides without PTM depletion. In addition to global proteome, the workflow identified phosphopeptides and glycopeptides from the PTM enrichment. We also found a subset of glycans with unique distribution profiles in the IMAC flow-through, as compared to those enriched directly using the MAX method. Our integrated workflow provided an effective platform for simultaneous global proteomic and PTM analysis of biospecimens.

Abstract
The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model photosynthetic organism for the study of microalgal processes. Along with genomic and transcriptomic studies, proteomic analysis of Chlamydomonas has led to an increased understanding of its metabolic signaling as well as a growing interest in the elucidation of its phosphorylation networks. To this end, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has made great strides in large-scale protein quantitation as well as analysis of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in a high-throughput manner. An accurate quantification of dynamic PTMs, such as phosphorylation, requires high reproducibility and sensitivity due to the substoichiometric levels of modified peptides, which can make depth of coverage challenging. Here we present a method using TiO2-based phosphopeptide enrichment paired with label-free LC-MS/MS for phosphoproteome quantification. Three technical replicate samples in Chlamydomonas were processed and analyzed using this approach, quantifying a total of 1775 phosphoproteins with a total of 3595 phosphosites. With a median CV of 21% across quantified phosphopeptides, implementation of this method for differential studies provides highly reproducible analysis of phosphorylation events. While the culturing and extraction methods used are specific to facilitate coverage in algal species, this approach is widely applicable and can easily extend beyond algae to other photosynthetic organisms with minor modifications.

Abstract
The cell division cycle of the unicellular eukaryote Trypanosome brucei is tightly regulated despite the paucity of transcriptional control that results from the arrangement of genes in polycistronic units and lack of dynamically regulated transcription factors. To identify the contribution of dynamic phosphorylation to T. brucei cell cycle control we have combined cell cycle synchronisation by centrifugal elutriation with quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis. Cell cycle regulated changes in phosphorylation site abundance (917 sites, average 5-fold change) were more widespread and of a larger magnitude than changes in protein abundance (443 proteins, average 2-fold change) and were mostly independent of each other. Hierarchical clustering of co-regulated phosphorylation sites according to their cell cycle profile revealed that a bulk increase in phosphorylation occurs across the cell cycle, with a significant enrichment of known cell cycle regulators and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) within the largest clusters. Cell cycle regulated changes in essential cell cycle kinases are temporally co-ordinated with differential phosphorylation of components of the kinetochore and eukaryotic initiation factors, along with many RBPs not previously linked to the cell cycle such as eight PSP1-C terminal domain containing proteins. The temporal profiles demonstrate the importance of dynamic phosphorylation in co-ordinating progression through the cell cycle, and provide evidence that RBPs play a central role in post-transcriptional regulation of the T. brucei cell cycle. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD013488.

Abstract
Recent developments in proteomics have enabled signaling studies where > 10,000 phosphosites can be routinely identified and quantified. Yet, current analyses are limited in throughput, reproducibility, and robustness, hampering experiments that involve multiple perturbations, such as those needed to map kinase-substrate relationships, capture pathway crosstalks, and network inference analysis. To address these challenges, we introduce rapid-robotic phosphoproteomics (R2-P2), an end-to-end automated method that uses magnetic particles to process protein extracts to deliver mass spectrometry-ready phosphopeptides. R2-P2 is rapid, robust, versatile, and high-throughput. To showcase the method, we applied it, in combination with data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry, to study signaling dynamics in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in yeast. Our results reveal broad and specific signaling events along the mating, the high-osmolarity glycerol, and the invasive growth branches of the MAPK pathway, with robust phosphorylation of downstream regulatory proteins and transcription factors. Our method facilitates large-scale signaling studies involving hundreds of perturbations opening the door to systems-level studies aiming to capture signaling complexity.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are potent lipid mediators with well-established effects in vascular tissues. Recent studies indicated an emerging role of these eicosanoids in metabolic diseases and the EET signaling pathway was shown to be involved in hepatic insulin sensitivity. However, compared to vascular tissues, there is only limited knowledge about the underlying signaling pathways in the liver. Therefore, we employed an LC-MS/MS-based time-resolved phosphoproteomics approach to characterize 11,12-EET-mediated signaling events in the liver cell line Hepa 1-6. 11,12-EET treatment resulted in the time-dependent regulation of phosphopeptides involved in processes as yet unknown to be affected by EETs, including RNA processing, splicing and translation regulation. Pathway analysis combined with western blot-based validation revealed enhanced AKT/mTOR/p70S6K signaling as demonstrated by increased acute phosphorylation of AKT (Ser473) and p70S6K (Thr389). In addition, 11,12-EET treatment led to differential regulation of phosphopeptides including important mediators of the DNA damage response and we observed a prolonged induction of the etoposide-induced DNA damage marker γH2AX in response to 11,12-EET. In summary, our findings extend current knowledge of 11,12-EET signaling events and emphasize the importance of the AKT/mTOR/p70S6K pathway in hepatic 11,12-EET signaling. Based on the results presented in this study, we furthermore propose a novel role of EET signaling in the regulation of the DNA damage response.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry is rapidly emerging as a prominent technique to study protein structures. Structural information is obtained by covalently connecting peptides in close proximity by small reagents and identifying the resulting peptide pairs by mass spectrometry. However, substoichiometric reaction efficiencies render routine detection of cross-linked peptides problematic. Here, we present a new trifunctional cross-linking reagent, termed PhoX, which is decorated with a stable phosphonic acid handle. This makes the cross-linked peptides amenable to the well-established immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) enrichment. The handle allows for 300× enrichment efficiency and 97% specificity. We exemplify the approach on various model proteins and protein complexes, e.g., resulting in a structural model of the LRP1/RAP complex. Almost completely removing linear peptides allows PhoX, although noncleavable, to be applied to complex lysates. Focusing the database search to the 1400 most abundant proteins, we were able to identify 1156 cross-links in a single 3 h measurement.

Abstract
Armadillo (ARM) repeat proteins constitute a large protein family with diverse and fundamental functions in all organisms, and armadillo repeat domains share high structural similarity. However, exactly how these structurally similar proteins can mediate diverse functions remains a long-standing question. Vac8 (vacuole related 8) is a multifunctional protein that plays pivotal roles in various autophagic pathways, including piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN) and cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathways in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Vac8 comprises an H1 helix at the N terminus, followed by 12 armadillo repeats. Herein, we report the crystal structure of Vac8 bound to Atg13, a key component of autophagic machinery. The 70-Å extended loop of Atg13 binds to the ARM domain of Vac8 in an antiparallel manner. Structural, biochemical, and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the H1 helix of Vac8 intramolecularly associates with the first ARM and regulates its self-association, which is crucial for Cvt and PMN pathways. The structure of H1 helix-deleted Vac8 complexed with Atg13 reveals that Vac8[Δ19–33]-Atg13 forms a heterotetramer and adopts an extended superhelical structure exclusively employed in the Cvt pathway. Most importantly, comparison of Vac8-Nvj1 and Vac8-Atg13 provides a molecular understanding of how a single ARM domain protein adopts different quaternary structures depending on its associated proteins to differentially regulate 2 closely related but distinct cellular pathways.
