[PMID: 37595557 PMCID: PMC10523585 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2023.07.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Various hormones, kinases, and stressors (fasting, heat shock) stimulate 26S proteasome activity. To understand how its capacity to degrade ubiquitylated proteins can increase, we studied mouse ZFAND5, which promotes protein degradation during muscle atrophy. Cryo-electron microscopy showed that ZFAND5 induces large conformational changes in the 19S regulatory particle. ZFAND5's AN1 Zn-finger domain interacts with the Rpt5 ATPase and its C terminus with Rpt1 ATPase and Rpn1, a ubiquitin-binding subunit. Upon proteasome binding, ZFAND5 widens the entrance of the substrate translocation channel, yet it associates only transiently with the proteasome. Dissociation of ZFAND5 then stimulates opening of the 20S proteasome gate. Using single-molecule microscopy, we showed that ZFAND5 binds ubiquitylated substrates, prolongs their association with proteasomes, and increases the likelihood that bound substrates undergo degradation, even though ZFAND5 dissociates before substrate deubiquitylation. These changes in proteasome conformation and reaction cycle can explain the accelerated degradation and suggest how other proteasome activators may stimulate proteolysis.

Cryo-electron microscopy showed that ZFAND5 induces large conformational changes in the 19S regulatory particle. ZFAND5's AN1 Zn finger interacts with the Rpt5 ATPase and its C-terminus with Rpt1 ATPase and Rpn1, a ubiquitin-binding subunit. Surprisingly, these C-terminal interactions are sufficient to activate proteolysis. With ZFAND5 bound, entry into the proteasome's protein translocation channel is wider, and ZFAND5 dissociation causes opening of the 20S gate for substrate entry. Using single-molecular microscopy, we showed that ZFAND5 binds ubiquitylated substrates, prolongs their association with proteasomes, and increases the likelihood that bound substrates undergo degradation, even though ZFAND5 dissociates before substrate deubiquitylation.

Abstract
Nuclear proteins are major constituents and key regulators of nucleome topological organization and manipulators of nuclear events. To decipher the global connectivity of nuclear proteins and the hierarchically organized modules of their interactions, we conducted two rounds of cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) analysis, one of which followed a quantitative double chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (in vivoqXL-MS) workflow, and identified 24,140 unique crosslinks in total from the nuclei of soybean seedlings. This in vivo quantitative interactomics enabled the identification of 5340 crosslinks that can be converted into 1297 nuclear protein-protein interactions (PPIs), 1220 (94%) of which were non-confirmative (or novel) nuclear PPIs compared with those in repositories. There were 250 and 26 novel interactors of histones and the nucleolar box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex, respectively. Modulomic analysis of orthologous Arabidopsis PPIs produced 27 and 24 master nuclear PPI modules (NPIMs) that contain the condensate-forming protein(s) and the intrinsically disordered region-containing proteins, respectively. These NPIMs successfully captured previously reported nuclear protein complexes and nuclear bodies in the nucleus. Surprisingly, these NPIMs were hierarchically assorted into four higher-order communities in a nucleomic graph, including genome and nucleolus communities. This combinatorial pipeline of 4C quantitative interactomics and PPI network modularization revealed 17 ethylene-specific module variants that participate in a broad range of nuclear events. The pipeline was able to capture both nuclear protein complexes and nuclear bodies, construct the topological architectures of PPI modules and module variants in the nucleome, and probably map the protein compositions of biomolecular condensates.

Abstract
In recent years, cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has made enormous strides as a technology for probing protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and elucidating architectures of multisubunit assemblies. To define conformational and interaction dynamics of protein complexes under different physiological conditions, various quantitative cross-linking mass spectrometry (QXL-MS) strategies based on stable isotope labeling have been developed. These QXL-MS approaches have effectively allowed comparative analysis of cross-links to determine their relative abundance changes at global scales. Although successful, it remains challenging to consistently obtain quantitative measurements on low-abundant cross-links. Therefore, targeted QXL-MS is needed to enable MS "Western" analysis of cross-links to enhance sensitivity and reliability in quantitation. To this end, we have established a robust parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)-based targeted QXL-MS platform using sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable cross-linker disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO), permitting label-free comparative analysis of selected cross-links across multiple samples. In addition, we have applied this methodology to study phosphorylation-dependent conformational dynamics of the human 26S proteasome. The PRM-based targeted QXL-MS analytical platform described here is applicable for all sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable cross-linkers and can be directly adopted for comparative studies of protein-protein interactions in various cellular contexts.

Abstract
Structural plasticity and dynamic protein-protein interactions are critical determinants of protein function within living systems. Quantitative chemical cross-linking with mass spectrometry (qXL-MS) is an emerging technology able to provide information on changes in protein conformations and interactions. Importantly, qXL-MS is applicable to complex biological systems, including living cells and tissues, thereby providing insights into proteins within their native environments. Here, we present an overview of recent technological developments and applications involving qXL-MS, including design and synthesis of isotope-labeled cross-linkers, development of new liquid chromatography-MS methodologies, and computational developments enabling interpretation of the data.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is a mega-dalton protein complex responsible for intracellular degradation in eukaryotes. It is composed of two subcomplexes: the 20S core particle and the 19S regulatory particle, which form compositionally and structurally heterogeneous proteasome complexes in cells. To fully characterize the 26S proteasome, it is necessary to understand its structural and functional diversities. Multiple mass spectrometry (MS) methodologies have been developed in recent years for the study of proteasome structural dynamics in which biochemically isolated complexes are subjected to analysis. Due to the inherent heterogeneity of proteasome complexes, single-bait affinity purification typically results in a mixture of compositionally heterogeneous complexes regardless of the baits, making accurate assessment of complex-specific conformations and functions challenging. To facilitate complex-centric analysis, we have adopted a bimolecular affinity purification method utilizing a dual-bait cell line expressing tagged 19S and tagged 20S subunits to improve the homogeneity of the resulting 26S holocomplexes. To establish the method, four types of purifications were performed and the resulting samples were extensively examined by biochemical analysis and two label-free quantitative MS methods. Our results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this purification strategy in improving the complex homogeneity for downstream biochemical and MS characterizations. This strategy will be valuable for facilitating detailed quantitative assessments of complex-specific molecular details under different conditions and can be directly adopted for studying other complexes.

Abstract
Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is a powerful tool for studying protein-protein interactions and elucidating architectures of protein complexes. While residue-specific XL-MS studies have been very successful, accessibility of interaction regions nontargetable by specific chemistries remain difficult. Photochemistry has shown great potential in capturing those regions because of nonspecific reactivity, but low yields and high complexities of photocross-linked products have hindered their identification, limiting current studies predominantly to single proteins. Here, we describe the development of three novel MS-cleavable heterobifunctional cross-linkers, namely SDASO (Succinimidyl diazirine sulfoxide), to enable fast and accurate identification of photocross-linked peptides by MSn. The MSn-based workflow allowed SDASO XL-MS analysis of the yeast 26S proteasome, demonstrating the feasibility of photocross-linking of large protein complexes for the first time. Comparative analyses have revealed that SDASO cross-linking is robust and captures interactions complementary to residue-specific reagents, providing the foundation for future applications of photocross-linking in complex XL-MS studies.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is a macromolecular complex that degrades proteins maintaining cell homeostasis; thus, determining its structure is a priority to understand its function. Although the 20S proteasome's structure has been known for some years, the highly dynamic nature of the 19S regulatory particle has presented a challenge to structural biologists. Advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) made it possible to determine the structure of the 19S regulatory particle and showed at least seven different conformational states of the proteasome. However, there are still many questions to be answered. Cross-linking mass spectrometry (CLMS) is now routinely used in integrative structural biology studies, and it promises to take integrative structural biology to the next level, answering some of these questions.

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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain a diverse array of molecular cargoes that alter cellular phenotype and function following internalization by recipient cells. In the lung, alveolar macrophages (AMs) secrete EVs containing suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), a cytosolic protein that promotes homeostasis via vesicular transfer to neighboring alveolar epithelial cells. Although changes in the secretion of EV molecules-including but not limited to SOCS3-have been described in response to microenvironmental stimuli, the cellular and molecular machinery that control alterations in vesicular cargo packaging remain poorly understood. Furthermore, the use of quantitative methods to assess the sorting of cytosolic cargo molecules into EVs is lacking. Here, we utilized cigarette smoke extract (CSE) exposure of AMs as an in vitro model of oxidative stress to address these gaps in knowledge. We demonstrate that the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in AMs was sufficient to augment vesicular SOCS3 release in this model. Using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) in tandem with a new carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-based intracellular protein packaging assay, we show that the stimulatory effects of CSE were at least in part attributable to elevated amounts of SOCS3 packaged per EV secreted by AMs. Furthermore, the use of a 20S proteasome activity assay alongside treatment of AMs with conventional proteasome inhibitors strongly suggest that ROS stimulated SOCS3 release via inactivation of the proteasome. These data demonstrate that tuning of AM proteasome function by microenvironmental oxidants is a critical determinant of the packaging and secretion of cytosolic SOCS3 protein within EVs.

Abstract
The proteasome is a well-identified therapeutic target for cancer treatment. It acts as the main protein degradation system in the cell and degrades key mediators of cell growth, survival and function. The term "proteasome" embraces a whole family of distinct complexes, which share a common proteolytic core, the 20S proteasome, but differ by their attached proteasome activators. Each of these proteasome complexes plays specific roles in the control of cellular function. In addition, distinct proteasome interacting proteins regulate proteasome activity in subcellular compartments and in response to cellular signals. Proteasome activators and regulators may thus serve as building blocks to fine-tune proteasome function in the cell according to cellular needs. Inhibitors of the proteasome, e.g. the FDA approved drugs Velcade™, Kyprolis™, Ninlaro™, inactivate the catalytic 20S core and effectively block protein degradation of all proteasome complexes in the cell resulting in inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis. Efficacy of these inhibitors, however, is hampered by their pronounced cytotoxic side-effects as well as by the emerging development of resistance to catalytic proteasome inhibitors. Targeted inhibition of distinct buiding blocks of the proteasome system, i.e. proteasome activators or regulators, represents an alternative strategy to overcome these limitations. In this review, we stress the importance of the diversity of the proteasome complexes constituting an entire proteasome system. Our building block concept provides a rationale for the defined targeting of distinct proteasome super-complexes in disease. We thereby aim to stimulate the development of innovative therapeutic approaches beyond broad catalytic proteasome inhibition.
