Abstract
Coat protein complex I (COPI) vesicles mediate the retrograde transfer of cargo between Golgi cisternae and from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, their roles in the cell cycle and proliferation are unclear. This study shows that TANGO6 associates with COPI vesicles via two transmembrane domains. The TANGO6 N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic fragments capture RNA polymerase II subunit B (RPB) 2 in the cis-Golgi during the G1 phase. COPI-docked TANGO6 carries RPB2 to the ER and then to the nucleus. Functional disruption of TANGO6 hinders the nuclear entry of RPB2, which accumulates in the cytoplasm, causing cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. The conditional depletion or overexpression of TANGO6 in mouse hematopoietic stem cells results in compromised or expanded hematopoiesis. Our study results demonstrate that COPI vesicle-associated TANGO6 plays a role in the regulation of cell cycle progression by directing the nuclear transfer of RPB2, making it a potential target for promoting or arresting cell expansion.

Abstract
Lipids in cell membranes and subcellular compartments play essential roles in numerous cellular processes, such as energy production, cell signaling and inflammation. A specific organelle lipidome is characterized by lipid synthesis and metabolism, intracellular trafficking, and lipid homeostasis in the organelle. Over the years, considerable effort has been directed to the identification of the lipid fingerprints of cellular organelles. However, these fingerprints are not fully characterized due to the large variety and structural complexity of lipids and the great variability in the abundance of different lipid species. The process becomes even more challenging when considering that the lipidome differs in health and disease contexts. This review summarizes the information available on the lipid composition of mammalian cell organelles, particularly the lipidome of the nucleus, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane and organelles in the endocytic pathway. The lipid compositions of extracellular vesicles and lamellar bodies are also described. In addition, several examples of subcellular lipidome dynamics under physiological and pathological conditions are presented. Finally, challenges in mapping organelle lipidomes are discussed.

Abstract
Emerging studies increasingly demonstrate the importance of the throat and salivary glands as sites of virus replication and transmission in early COVID-19 disease. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, characterized by an outer lipid membrane derived from the host cell from which it buds. While it is highly sensitive to agents that disrupt lipid biomembranes, there has been no discussion about the potential role of oral rinsing in preventing transmission. Here, we review known mechanisms of viral lipid membrane disruption by widely available dental mouthwash components that include ethanol, chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, hydrogen peroxide, and povidone-iodine. We also assess existing formulations for their potential ability to disrupt the SARS-CoV-2 lipid envelope, based on their concentrations of these agents, and conclude that several deserve clinical evaluation. We highlight that already published research on other enveloped viruses, including coronaviruses, directly supports the idea that oral rinsing should be considered as a potential way to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Research to test this could include evaluating existing or specifically tailored new formulations in well-designed viral inactivation assays, then in clinical trials. Population-based interventions could be undertaken with available mouthwashes, with active monitoring of outcome to determine efficacy. This is an under-researched area of major clinical need.

Abstract
Acinar cells of exocrine glands are highly specialized for producing, storing, and discharging secretory proteins for use on surfaces that represent interfaces between the organism and the surrounding environment. These functions are achieved through the secretory pathway that includes a series of functionally distinct intracellular compartments — the endoplasmic reticulum, subcompartments of the Golgi complex, and the secretion granule in which exportable macromolecules are stored at high concentrations. Most secretion occurs by granule exocytosis in response to external hormonal or neural stimuli. Although these processes have been traced in a variety of morphological and biochemical studies, very Utile is known about the mechanisms involved in facilitating and maintaining secretory storage, orchestrating discharge at the apical cell surface, and in ensuring conservation and re-internalization of the granule membrane. Recent studies initiated on cell fractions obtained from the rat parotid gland have provided significant insight into the protein storage conditions that prevail in the granule interior and the components of the granule membrane that are likely to be involved in general secretory function such as exocytosis.

Abstract
Affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry (AP-MS) is the method of choice for analyzing protein-protein interactions, but common protocols frequently recover only the most stable interactions and tend to result in low bait yield for membrane proteins. Here, we present a novel, deep interactome sequencing approach called CoPIT (co-interacting protein identification technology), which allows comprehensive identification and analysis of membrane protein interactomes and their dynamics. CoPIT integrates experimental and computational methods for a coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP)-based workflow from sample preparation for mass spectrometric analysis to visualization of protein-protein interaction networks. The approach particularly improves the results for membrane protein interactomes, which have proven to be difficult to identify and analyze. CoPIT was used successfully to identify the interactome of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), demonstrating its validity and performance. The experimental step in this case achieved up to 100-fold-higher bait yield than previous methods by optimizing lysis, elution, sample clean-up and detection of interacting proteins by multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). Here, we further provide evidence that CoPIT is applicable to other types of proteins as well, and that it can be successfully used as a general Co-IP method. The protocol describes all steps, ranging from considerations for experimental design, Co-IP, preparation of the sample for mass spectrometric analysis, and data analysis steps, to the final visualization of interaction networks. Although the experimental part can be performed in <3 d, data analysis may take up to a few weeks.

Abstract
Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of carcinomas in many human tissues, and is currently considered a bona fide oncoprotein. Importantly, several tumor types show overexpression of GOLPH3, which is associated with tumor progress and poor prognosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that connect GOLPH3 function with tumorigenicity are poorly understood. Experimental evidence shows that depletion of GOLPH3 abolishes transformation and proliferation of tumor cells in GOLPH3-overexpressing cell lines. Conversely, GOLPH3 overexpression drives transformation of primary cell lines and enhances mouse xenograft tumor growth in vivo. This evidence suggests that overexpression of GOLPH3 could result in distinct features of GOLPH3 in tumor cells compared to that of non-tumorigenic cells. GOLPH3 is a peripheral membrane protein mostly localized at the trans-Golgi network, and its association with Golgi membranes depends on binding to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate. GOLPH3 is also contained in a large cytosolic pool that rapidly exchanges with Golgi-associated pools. GOLPH3 has also been observed associated with vesicles and tubules arising from the Golgi, as well as other cellular compartments, and hence it has been implicated in several membrane trafficking events. Whether these and other features are typical to all different types of cells is unknown. Moreover, it remains undetermined how GOLPH3 acts as an oncoprotein at the Golgi. Therefore, to better understand the roles of GOLPH3 in cancer cells, we sought to compare some of its biochemical and cellular properties in the human breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 with that of the non-tumorigenic breast human cell line MCF 10A. We found unexpected differences that support the notion that in different cancer cells, overexpression of GOLPH3 functions in diverse fashions, which may influence specific tumorigenic phenotypes.

Abstract
Sperm acrosome associated 7 (SPACA7) is a novel protein of unknown function with no homology to any known protein. Spaca7 transcripts are detected only in testis and predict a 158-residue mature polypeptide with one potential N-glycosylation site and no cysteines. Orthologs are present in various species, including mice and humans. We developed a polyclonal antibody to mouse SPACA7 to study its expression and function. Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy detected SPACA7 only in testis, and it was detected in testis starting at Postnatal Day 21 and into adulthood. Immunofluorescence staining of testicular germ cells detected weak SPACA7 expression as early as zygotene spermatocytes. Higher expression was observed in round spermatids, where SPACA7 was localized to a perinuclear spot adjacent to the Golgi and to the acrosome of elongating spermatids and spermatozoa. Immunogold electron microscopy demonstrated that SPACA7 is localized within the proacrosomal granule of round spermatids and the acrosome of spermatozoa. Finally, we showed that SPACA7 was retained within the acrosome of epididymal sperm and was released upon the acrosome reaction. To assess if SPACA7 was involved in fertilization, in vitro fertilization assays in the presence of anti-SPACA7 IgG were performed. Anti-SPACA7 inhibited fertilization of cumulus-intact eggs and prominently delayed cumulus dispersal. However, anti-SPACA7 did not inhibit fertilization of cumulus-free eggs. Our findings indicate that release of SPACA7 from the acrosome accelerates cumulus dispersal and facilitates fertilization via unknown mechanisms. This study is the first to document the expression of endogenous SPACA7 and a function for this novel acrosomal protein.

Abstract
Due to the hydrophobicity and localization of integral membrane proteins, they are difficult to study using conventional biochemical methods that are compatible with proteomic analyses. This chapter describes the coupling of multiple crucial steps that lead to the optimized shotgun proteomic analysis of integral membrane proteins while maintaining empirical topology information. Namely, a membrane shaving method is utilized to separate protease accessible peptides from membrane embedded peptides and elevated temperatures during chromatographic separation is utilized to augment the recovery of hydrophobic peptides for in-line analysis using tandem mass spectrometry. This combination of steps facilitates increased identification of membrane proteins while also maintaining information regarding protein topology.

Abstract
The workhorse for proteomics in non-model plants is classical two-dimensional electrophoresis, a combination of iso-electric focusing and SDS-PAGE. However, membrane proteins with multiple membrane spanning domains are hardly detected on classical 2-DE gels because of their low abundance and poor solubility in aqueous media. In the current review, solutions that have been proposed to handle these two problems in non-model plants are discussed. An overview of alternative techniques developed for membrane proteomics is provided together with a comparison of their strong and weak points. Subsequently, strengths and weaknesses of the different techniques and methods to evaluate the identification of membrane proteins are discussed. Finally, an overview of recent plant membrane proteome studies is provided with the used separation technique and the number of identified membrane proteins listed.

Abstract
This memoir provides a history of the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins of blood plasma over the last half-century. As precursors of low-density lipoproteins and in their own right, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are essential to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and to consequent ischemic vascular disease. The author recounts research at the National Heart Institute during 1953 to 1956 and continuing thereafter at the University of California San Francisco. Emphasis is placed on key insights arising from investigations of human disease, the interplay of fatty acid and triglyceride-transport involving the liver, small intestine, adipose tissue and muscle, and the role of the liver in the synthesis and catabolism of atherogenic lipoproteins.

Background Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are primary sensory neurons that conduct neuronal impulses related to pain, touch and temperature senses. Plasma membrane (PM) of DRG cells plays important roles in their functions. PM proteins are main performers of the functions. However, mainly due to the very low amount of DRG that leads to the difficulties in PM sample collection, few proteomic analyses on the PM have been reported and it is a subject that demands further investigation. Results By using aqueous polymer two-phase partition in combination with high salt and high pH washing, PMs were efficiently enriched, demonstrated by western blot analysis. A total of 954 non-redundant proteins were identified from the plasma membrane-enriched preparation with CapLC-MS/MS analysis subsequent to protein separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) or shotgun digestion. 205 (21.5%) of the identified proteins were unambiguously assigned as PM proteins, including a large number of signal proteins, receptors, ion channel and transporters. Conclusion The aqueous polymer two-phase partition is a simple, rapid and relatively inexpensive method. It is well suitable for the purification of PMs from small amount of tissues. Therefore, it is reasonable for the DRG PM to be enriched by using aqueous two-phase partition as a preferred method. Proteomic analysis showed that DRG PM was rich in proteins involved in the fundamental biological processes including material exchange, energy transformation and information transmission, etc. These data would help to our further understanding of the fundamental DRG functions.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein that is reportedly necessary for pre beta HDL formation; however, its detailed function remains unknown. We investigated the biogenesis and properties of apoM and its effects on the initial steps of nascent pre beta HDL assembly by ABCA1 in HEK293 cells. Transiently transfected apoM was localized primarily in the endomembrane compartment. Pulse-chase analyses demonstrated that apoM is inefficiently secreted, relative to human serum albumin, and that approximately 50% remains membrane-associated after extraction with sodium carbonate, pH 11.5. To investigate the role of apoM in nascent pre beta HDL formation, ABCA1-expressing or control cells, transfected with empty vector, apoM, or C-terminal epitope-tagged apoM (apoM-C-FLAG), were incubated with (125)I-apoA-I for 24 h. Conditioned media were harvested and fractionated by fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) to monitor HDL particle size. Pre beta HDL particles were formed effectively in the absence of apoM expression; however, increased apoM expression stimulated the formation of larger-sized nascent pre beta HDLs. Immunoprecipitation with anti-apoA-I antibody followed by apoM Western blot analysis revealed that little secreted apoM was physically associated with pre beta HDL. Our results suggest that apoM is an atypical secretory protein that is not necessary for ABCA1-dependent pre beta HDL formation but does stimulate the formation of larger-sized pre beta HDL. We propose that apoM may function catalytically at an intracellular site to transfer lipid onto pre beta HDL during or after their formation by ABCA1.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is increasingly used to address basic and clinical questions in biomedical research through studies of differential protein expression, protein-protein interactions, and posttranslational modifications. The complex structural and functional organization of the human brain warrants the application of high-throughput, systematic approaches to understand the functional alterations under normal physiological conditions and the perturbations of neurological diseases. This primer focuses on shotgun-proteomics-based tandem mass spectrometry for the identification of proteins in a complex mixture. It describes the basic concepts of protein differential expression analysis and posttranslational modification analysis and discusses several strategies to improve the coverage of the proteome.

Abstract
During invasion, the obligate intracellular pathogen, Toxoplasma gondii, secretes into its host cell a variety of effector molecules, several of which have been implicated in strain-specific variation in disease. The largest family of these effectors, defined by the canonical member ROP2, quickly associates with the nascent parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) after secretion. Here we demonstrate that the NH(2)-terminal domain of the ROP2 family contains a series of amphipathic helices that are necessary and sufficient for membrane association. While each of the amphipathic helices is individually competent to bind cellular membranes, together they act to bind the PVM preferentially, possibly through sensing its strong negative curvature. This previously uncharacterized helical domain is an evolutionarily robust and energetically efficient design for membrane association.

Abstract
A major scientific challenge at the present time for cancer research is the determination of the underlying biological basis for cancer development. It is further complicated by the heterogeneity of cancer's origin. Understanding the molecular basis of cancer requires studying the dynamic and spatial interactions among proteins in cells, signaling events among cancer cells, and interactions between the cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. Recently, it has been proposed that large-scale protein expression analysis of cancer cell proteomes promises to be valuable for investigating mechanisms of cancer transformation. Advances in mass spectrometry technologies and bioinformatics tools provide a tremendous opportunity to qualitatively and quantitatively interrogate dynamic protein-protein interactions and differential regulation of cellular signaling pathways associated with tumor development. In this review, progress in shotgun proteomics technologies for examining the molecular basis of cancer development will be presented and discussed.

Abstract
PA-TM-RING proteins have an N-terminal protease-associated domain, a structure found in numerous proteases and implicated in protein binding, and C-terminal RING finger and PEST domains. Homologous proteins include GRAIL (gene related to anergy in leukocytes), which controls T-cell anergy, and AtRMR1 (receptor homology region-transmembrane domain-RING-H2 motif protein), a plant protein storage vacuole sorting receptor. Another family member, chicken RING zinc finger (C-RZF), was identified as being upregulated in embryonic chicken brain cells grown in the presence of tenascin-C. Despite algorithm predictions that the cDNA encodes a signal peptide and transmembrane domain, the protein was found in the nucleus. We showed that RING finger protein 13 (RNF13), the murine homolog of C-RZF, is a type I integral membrane protein localized in the endosomal/lysosomal system. By quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis, we demonstrated that expression of RNF13 is increased in adult relative to embryonic mouse tissues and is upregulated in B35 neuroblastoma cells stimulated to undergo neurite outgrowth. We found that RNF13 is very labile, being subject to extensive proteolysis that releases both the protein-associated domain and the RING domain from the membrane. By analyzing microsomes, we showed that the ectodomain is shed into the lumen of vesicles, whereas the C-terminal half, which possesses the RING finger, is released to the cytoplasm. This C-terminal fragment of RNF13 has the ability to mediate ubiquitination. Proteolytic release of RNF13 from a membrane anchor thus provides unique spatial and temporal regulation that has not been previously described for an endosomal E3 ubiquitin ligase.

Abstract
There is intense interest in comprehensive proteomic approaches for analyzing integral membrane proteins and lipoproteins. Key features of mass spectrometric analysis center on enriching biological material for proteins of interest, efficiently digesting them, extracting the resulting peptides, and using fractionation methods to comprehensively sample proteins or peptides by tandem mass spectrometry. However, lipid-associated proteins are generally rich in hydrophobic domains and are often low in abundance. These features, together with the associated lipid, make their mass spectrometric analysis technically challenging. In this article, we review analytical strategies for successful proteomic analysis of lipid-associated proteins.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) are difficult to identify, mainly for two reasons: the hydrophobicity of IMPs and their low abundance. Sample preparation is a key component in the large-scale identification of IMPs. In this review, we survey strategies for shotgun identification of IMPs by MS/MS. We will discuss enrichment, solubilization, separation, and digestion of IMPs, and data analysis for membrane proteomics.

Abstract
Pancreatic zymogen granules (ZG) are specialized for digestive enzyme storage and regulated secretion in the exocrine pancreas and are a classical model for studying secretory granule function. To understand the function of this organelle, we have conducted a proteomic study to identify the ZG membrane proteins from ZGs purified by Percoll gradient centrifugation. By combining multiple separation strategies including two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (TMS), we identified 101 proteins from purified ZG membranes including a large number of proteins previously unknown on ZG membranes. To distinguish intrinsic membrane proteins from soluble and peripheral membrane proteins, a quantitative proteomics strategy was developed to measure the enrichment of intrinsic membrane proteins through the purification steps by labeling crude, KBr-, and Na(2)CO(3)-washed ZG membranes with multiplexed isobaric tags (iTRAQ), 114, 116 and 117, respectively. The proteins with 117:114 ratios greater than one correlated well with known or predicted intrinsic membrane proteins.

Abstract
Extraction of crude membrane fractions with alkaline solutions, such as 100-200 mM Na(2)CO(3) (pH ~11), is often used to solubilize peripheral membrane proteins. Integral membrane proteins are largely retained in membrane pellets. We applied this method to the fractionation of membrane proteins of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis. Extensive horizontal spot trains were observed in 2-DE gels. The pI values of the most basic spots part of such protein spot trains usually matched the computationally predicted pI values. Regular patterns of decreasing spot pI values and in silico analysis with the software ProMoST suggested ;n-1' deamidations of asparagine (N) and/or glutamine (Q) side chains for ;n' observed spots of a protein in a given spot train. MALDI-MS analysis confirmed the occurrence of deamidations, particularly in N side chains part of NG dipeptide motifs. In more than ten cases, tandem MS data for tryptic peptides provided strong evidence for deamidations, with y- and b-ion series increased by 1 Da following N-to-D substitutions. Horizontal spot trains in 2-DE gels were rare when alkaline extraction was omitted during membrane protein sample preparation. This study strongly supports the notion that exposure to alkaline pH solutions is a dominant cause of extensive N and Q side chain deamidations in proteins during sample preparation of membrane extracts. The modifications are of non-enzymatic nature and not physiologically relevant. Therefore, quantitative spot differences within spot trains in differential protein display experiments following the aforementioned sample preparation steps need to be interpreted cautiously.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins perform crucial cellular functions and are the targets for the majority of pharmaceutical agents. However, the hydrophobic nature of their membrane-embedded domains makes them difficult to work with. Here, we describe a shotgun proteomic method for the high-throughput analysis of the membrane-embedded transmembrane domains of integral membrane proteins which extends the depth of coverage of the membrane proteome.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins are represented by 20-30% of the eukaryotic genome and crucial for cellular functions including cell signaling, nutrient influx, toxin efflux, and maintenance of osmotic balance. Importantly, over 70% of all drugs are targeted at membrane proteins. Because of their hydrophobicity, however, methods used to characterize the structure of soluble proteins, such as NMR and X-ray crystallography, are generally not suitable to the study of membrane proteins (1). The methods described in this chapter facilitate the identification and mapping of both extracellular and cytoplasmicsoluble domains of integral plasma membrane proteins using mass spectrometry. By combining a classical protease protection approach with recently developed proteomic methods, protease-accessible peptides (PAPs) are digested from proteins embedded in their native lipid environment and identified to characterize the topologies of integral membrane proteins.

Abstract
Macrophages use phagocytosis to control the spread of pathogens in the body, to clear apoptotic cells, and to aid in tissue remodeling. The phagosomal membrane is traditionally thought to originate from the plasmalemma and then go through a series of maturation steps involving sequential fusion with endosomal compartments, leading to the formation of a phagolysosome. A recent model suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the maturation as well. Here we use stable isotope labeling and multiple quantitative proteomic approaches to follow the dynamic composition of the maturing phagosome in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells to a greater depth and higher temporal resolution than was previously possible. Analysis of the results suggests that the traditional model of a linear sequence of fusion events with different compartments is more complex or variable than previously thought. By concomitantly measuring the degree to which each component is enriched on phagosomes, our data argue that the amount of ER involved in phagocytosis is much less than predicted by the model of ER-mediated phagocytosis.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are critical for normal cellular differentiation and function, and alterations in these proteins often leads to cell dysfunction and disease. Membrane proteomics aims to identify the membrane protein constituents, their posttranslational modifications, protein-protein interactions, and dynamics. Efforts to identify membrane proteins and elucidate their dynamics have been plagued by the challenges presented by studying water insoluble proteins that are distributed among a range of membranes in a cell and often occur at a relatively low abundance. This brief review presents a summary of the literature related to membrane proteomics with an emphasis on efforts to develop effective protocols for the enrichment of membrane proteins, particularly those located in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The elucidation of a complete, accurate, and permanent representation of the proteome of the mammalian cell may be achievable piecemeal by an organellar based approach. The small volume of organelles assures high protein concentrations. Providing isolated organelles are homogenous, this assures reliable protein characterization within the sensitivity and dynamic range limits of current mass spec based analysis. The stochastic aspect of peptide selection by tandem mass spectrometry for sequence determination by fragmentation is dealt with by multiple biological replicates as well as by prior protein separation on 1-D gels. Applications of this methodology to isolated synaptic vesicles, clathrin coated vesicles, endosomes, phagosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, as well as Golgi-derived COPI vesicles, have led to mechanistic insight into the identity and function of these organelles.

Abstract
Poly(A) binding protein 2 (PABP2) of Arabidopsis thaliana was previously shown to interact with VPg-Pro of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) and may consequently play an important role during infection. Subcellular fractionation experiments revealed that PABP2 was predominantly a cytoplasmic soluble protein in healthy plants. However, in TuMV-infected plants, a subpopulation of PABP2 was membrane associated or was localized in the nucleus. Confocal microscopy experiments indicated that PABP2 was partially retargeted to the nucleolus in the presence of TuMV VPg-Pro. In addition, the membrane association of PABP2 during TuMV infection resulted from the internalization of the host protein in 6K-VPg-Pro-induced vesicles, as shown by a combination of confocal microscopy and sucrose gradient fractionation experiments. This redistribution of an important translation initiation factor to the nucleolus and to membrane structure likely underlies two important processes of the TuMV replication cycle.

Abstract
Endogenous or ectopically expressed lysosomal proteins can be detected in their biosynthetic or endocytic pathways by Western blotting of biosynthetic forms in cells, cell fractions, or their culture medium, by pulse-chase radiolabeling accompanied by immunoprecipitation, or by electron or immunofluorescence microscopy. Western blotting and microscopy reveal the steady-state distribution of a protein, whereas pulse-chase studies are required both to identify transient forms and to define the relationship of the biosynthetic forms detected. Targeting to lysosomes can be dramatically affected by synthesis levels and carbohydrate modification, whether the synthesis is upregulated naturally, for example, by cell transformation, or whether it results from ectopic expression. This occurs because a lysosomal protein, unlike a protein expressed in the cytoplasm, must interact with receptors and be packaged into vesicles that mediate its transport though the secretory pathway. Use of microscopy to establish localization is, therefore, a key aspect of characterization of the cellular pathways utilized by lysosomal proteins.

Abstract
Replication of nepoviruses (family Comoviridae) occurs in association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived membranes. We have previously shown that the putative nucleoside triphosphate-binding protein (NTB) of Tomato ringspot nepovirus is an integral membrane protein with two ER-targeting sequences and have suggested that it anchors the viral replication complex (VRC) to the membranes. A second highly hydrophobic protein domain (X2) is located immediately upstream of the NTB domain in the RNA1-encoded polyprotein. X2 shares conserved sequence motifs with the comovirus 32-kDa protein, an ER-targeted protein implicated in VRC assembly. In this study, we examined the ability of X2 to associate with intracellular membranes. The X2 protein was fused to the green fluorescent protein and expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana by agroinfiltration. Confocal microscopy and membrane flotation experiments suggested that X2 is targeted to ER membranes. Mutagenesis studies revealed that X2 contains multiple ER-targeting domains, including two C-terminal transmembrane helices and a less-well-defined domain further upstream. To investigate the topology of the protein in the membrane, in vitro glycosylation assays were conducted using X2 derivatives that contained N-glycosylation sites introduced at the N or C termini of the protein. The results led us to propose a topological model for X2 in which the protein traverses the membrane three times, with the N terminus oriented in the lumen and the C terminus exposed to the cytoplasmic face. Taken together, our results indicate that X2 is an ER-targeted polytopic membrane protein and raises the possibility that it acts as a second membrane anchor for the VRC.

Abstract
Type XIII collagen is a transmembrane protein that also exists as a soluble extracellular variant because of ectodomain shedding by proprotein convertases. Because ectodomain shedding in a growing number of transmembrane proteins has recently been shown to be dependent on their localization in cholesterol-enriched detergent-resistant membrane microdomains, this work aimed at analyzing this aspect of type XIII collagen ectodomain processing. In HT-1080 cells type XIII collagen and its cleaving proprotein convertase furin localized partially in detergent-resistant cholesterol-containing membrane microdomains. Disruption of these domains by lowering either the level or availability of the cellular cholesterol reduced ectodomain shedding, implying that, in such membrane domains correct cholesterol level is important for the regulation of type XIII collagen ectodomain processing. In addition, we show here that ectodomain of type XIII collagen is also shed intracellularly. HT-1080 cells released vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, which contained only the cleaved variant. Intracellular processing and the subsequent entry of the cleaved ectodomain into the vesicles was totally blocked by inhibition of the proprotein convertase function by cell-permeable chloromethylketone, but not with cell-impermeable alpha1-antitrypsin Portland. This supports the hypothesis of type XIII collagen ectodomain also being cleaved intracellularly in the Golgi and suggests that the intracellular cleavage may act as a gating event in the vesicle-mediated ectodomain secretion.

Functional, biochemical, and chromatographic characterization of the complete [Ca2+]i oscillation-inducing activity of porcine sperm. Dev Biol 2006; 285:376-92. [PMID: 16098961 DOI: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2005.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2005] [Revised: 06/12/2005] [Accepted: 06/25/2005] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
A cytosolic sperm protein(s), referred to as sperm factor (SF), is delivered into eggs by the sperm during mammalian fertilization to induce repetitive increases in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) that are referred to as [Ca2+]i oscillations. [Ca2+]i oscillations are essential for egg activation and early embryonic development. Recent evidence shows that the novel sperm-specific phospholipase C (PLC), PLCzeta, may be the long sought after [Ca2+]i oscillation-inducing SF. Here, we demonstrate the complete extraction of SF from porcine sperm and show that regardless of the method of extraction a single molecule/complex appears to be responsible for the [Ca2+]i oscillation-inducing activity of these extracts. Consistent with this notion, all sperm fractions that induced [Ca2+]i oscillations, including FPLC-purified fractions, exhibited high in vitro PLC activity at basal Ca2+ levels (0.1-5 microM), a hallmark of PLCzeta. Notably, we detected immunoreactive 72-kDa PLCzeta in an inactive fraction, and several fractions capable of inducing oscillations were devoid of 72-kDa PLCzeta. Nonetheless, in the latter fractions, proteolytic fragments, presumably corresponding to cleaved forms of PLCzeta, were detected by immunoblotting. Therefore, our findings corroborate the hypothesis that a sperm-specific PLC is the main component of the [Ca2+]i oscillation-inducing activity of sperm but provide evidence that the presence of 72-kDa PLCzeta does not precisely correspond with the Ca2+ releasing activity of porcine sperm fractions.

Abstract
Stimulated exocytosis of intracellular granules plays a critical role in conversion of inactive, circulating neutrophils to fully activated cells capable of chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and bacterial killing. The functional changes induced by exocytosis of each of the granule subsets, gelatinase (tertiary) granules, specific (secondary) granules, and azurophil (primary) granules, are poorly defined. To improve the understanding of the role of exocytosis of these granule subsets, a proteomic analysis of the azurophil, specific, and gelatinase granules from human neutrophils was performed. Two different methods for granule protein identification were applied. First, two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF MS analysis of peptides obtained by in-gel trypsin digestion of proteins was performed. Second, peptides from tryptic digests of granule membrane proteins were separated by two-dimensional microcapillary chromatography using strong cation exchange and reverse phase microcapillary high pressure liquid chromatography and analyzed with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (2D HLPC ESI-MS/MS). Our analysis identified 286 proteins on the three granule subsets, 87 of which were identified by MALDI MS and 247 were identified by 2D HPLC ESI-MS/MS. The increased sensitivity of 2D HPLC ESI-MS/MS, however, resulted in identification of over 500 proteins from subcellular organelles contaminating isolated granules. Defining the proteome of neutrophil granule subsets provides a basis for understanding the role of exocytosis in neutrophil biology. Additionally, the described methods may be applied to mobilizable compartments of other secretory cells.

Abstract
Proteomic analysis of biological samples in disease models or therapeutic intervention studies requires the ability to detect and identify biologically relevant proteins present in relatively low concentrations. The detection and analysis of these low-level proteins is hindered by the presence of a few proteins that are expressed in relatively high concentrations. In the case of muscle tissue, highly abundant structural proteins, such as actin, myosin, and tropomyosin, compromise the detection and analysis of more biologically relevant proteins. We have developed a practical protocol which exploits high-pH extraction to reduce or remove abundant structural proteins from skeletal muscle crude membrane preparations in a manner suitable for two dimensional gel electrophoresis. An initial whole-cell muscle lysate is generated by homogenization of powdered tissue in Tris-base. This lysate is subsequently partitioned into a supernatant and pellet containing the majority of structural proteins. Treatment of the pellet with high-pH conditions effectively releases structural proteins from membrane compartments which are then removed through ultracentrifugation. Mass spectrometric identification shows that the majority of protein spots reduced or removed by high-pH treatment were contractile proteins or contractile-related proteins. Removal of these proteins enabled successful detection and identification of minor proteins. Structural protein removal also results in significant improvement of gel quality and the ability to load higher amounts of total protein for the detection of lower abundant protein classes.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, PtdIns3P, is a phosphoinositide which is implicated in regulating membrane trafficking in both mammalian and yeast cells. It also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, PtdIns3,5P2, a phosphoinositide, the exact functions of which remain unknown. In this report, we show that these two phosphoinositides are constitutive lipid components of the ciliate Tetrahymena. Using HPLC analysis, PtdIns3P and PtdIns3,5P2 were found to comprise 16% and 30-40% of their relevant phosphoinositide pools, respectively. Treatment of Tetrahymena cells with wortmannin (0.1-10 microM) resulted in the depletion of PtdIns3P and PtdIns3,5P2 without any effect on D-4 phosphoinositides. Wortmannin was further used for the investigation of D-3 phosphoinositide involvement in the regulation of lysosomal vesicular trafficking. Incubation of Tetrahymena cells with wortmannin resulted in enhanced secretion of two different lysosomal enzymes without any change in their total activities. Experiments performed with a T. thermophila secretion mutant strain verified that the wortmannin-induced secretion is specific and it is not due to a diversion of lysosomal enzymes to other secretory pathways. Moreover, experiments performed with a phagocytosis-deficient T. thermophila strain showed that a substantial fraction of wortmannin-induced secretion was dependent on the presence of functional phagosomes/phagolysosomes.

Abstract
A-type K(+) channels belonging to the Shal subfamily are found in various receptor and neuronal cells. Although their kinetics and cell surface expression are regulated by auxiliary subunits, little is known about the proteins that may interact with Kv4 during development. A yeast two-hybrid screening of a cDNA library made from the sensory epithelium of embryonic chick cochlea revealed a novel association of Kv4.2 with a protein containing a pentraxin domain (PPTX). Sequence analysis shows that PPTX is a member of the long pentraxin family, is 53% identical to mouse PTX3, and has a signal peptide at the N terminus. Studies with chick cochlear tissues reveal that Kv4.2 coprecipitates PPTX and that both proteins are colocalized to the sensory and ganglion cells. A yeast two-hybrid assay demonstrated that the last 22 amino acids of the PPTX C terminus interact with the N terminus of Kv4.2. Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with recombinant PPTX reveal secretory products in both non-truncated and truncated forms. Among the secreted variants are several blocked by Brefeldin A, suggesting export via a classical pathway. PPTX is soluble in the presence of sodium carbonate, suggesting localization to the cytosolic side of the plasmalemma. Immunohistochemical studies show that Kv4.2 and PPTX colocalize in the region of the plasmalemma of Chinese hamster ovary cells; however, both are locked in the endoplasmic reticulum of COS-7 cells, suggesting that PPTX does not act as a shuttle protein. Reverse transcription-PCR demonstrates that PPTX mRNA is found in tissues that include brain, eye, heart, and blood vessels.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been associated with human cancers of lymphocytic or epithelial origin. Potential functions of the BARF1 early gene in EBV oncogenesis emerged from our observations showing expression of BARF1-encoded protein in nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsies, and induction of either malignant transformation (in rodent fibroblast and human B cell lines) or immortalization (in monkey primary epithelial cells) following BARF1 transfection. We previously reported expression of the BARF1 product as a cytoplasm/membrane-associated protein from 293-tTA cells infected with a BARF1-recombinant adenovirus. Since constitutive expression of BARF1 from this heterologous system became inefficient, we developed a tetracycline-regulatable recombinant vector expressing BARF1 and green fluorescent protein from a dicistronic message. As here reported, stable and efficient expression of BARF1 from this vector in either permissive or non-permissive cell lines, allowed the first sequencing identification and further molecular characterization of BARF1-encoded protein.

Abstract
Recent literature that highlights the power of using mass spectrometry (MS) for protein identification from preparations of highly purified organelles and other large subcellular structures is covered in this review with an emphasis on techniques that preserve the integrity of the functional protein complexes. Recent advances in distinguishing contaminant proteins from "bonafide" organelle-localized proteins and the affinity capture of protein complexes are reviewed, as well as bioinformatic strategies to predict protein organellar localization and to integrate protein-protein interaction maps obtained from MS-affinity capture methods with data obtained from other techniques. Those developments demonstrate that a revolution in cellular biology, fueled by technical advances in MS-based proteomic techniques, is well underway.

Abstract
The sub-cellular location and mechanism of membrane association of NS3 and NS2-3 polypeptides of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) have been examined. Both NS3 and NS2-3 proteins were detected in post-nuclear membrane fractions but not in cytosolic fractions of BVDV infected cells; a proportion of NS3, but not NS2-3, could be dissociated from the membranes with 800 mM KCl or at pH 11. Following extraction with 1% Triton X-114, NS3 was predominantly present in the aqueous phase, but NS2-3 was only recovered in the detergent phase. Confocal microscopy showed that in BVDV infected cells, NS3 and/or NS2-3 co-localise with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein, ERP60, but not Golgi or lysosomal proteins. Sub-cellular fractionation analysis demonstrated that NS2-3 was almost exclusively associated with the rough ER membrane but a significant proportion of NS3 was present in the smooth ER membrane fractions in addition to the rough ER membrane. These differences in the distribution of NS2-3 and NS3 on ER membranes in cells infected with cytopathogenic (CP) strains of BVDV were also observed using confocal microscopy and antibodies that are specific to either NS2 or NS3. This distinct distribution of NS3 and NS2-3 on the ER membrane has revealed a further difference between CP and non-cytopathogenic (NCP) strains of BVDV.

Abstract
Tetrahymena pyriformis contains platelet-activating factor (PAF) as a minor lipid, which is biosynthesized de novo. A dithiothreitol-insensitive CDP-choline:cholinephosphotransferase (AAG-CPT), which utilizes alkyl-acetyl-glycerol as a substrate, had been detected in both the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of the protozoan. In the present report, localization of this enzyme in submitochondrial fractions was studied. Cell fractionation was evaluated with enzyme and morphological markers. In this respect, succinate dehydrogenase, NADPH:cytochrome c reductase, glucose-6-phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, monoaminoxidase, and cytochrome c oxidase activities were investigated. In the presence of antimycin A, mitochondrial activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, was increased, while the microsomal one was reduced. Cardiolipin was distributed in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Alkaline phosphatase was found exclusively in the cytosol of the protozoan. The main portion of the dithiothreitol-insensitive AAG-CPT was localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Our data indicate that mitochondria are able to produce PAF, which might be associated with their function.

Abstract
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is an autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease involving a mutation in the CLN3 gene. The sequence of CLN3 was determined in 1995; however, the localization of the CLN3 gene product (Cln3p) was not confirmed. In this study, we investigated endogenous Cln3p using two peptide antibodies raised against two distinct epitopes of murine Cln3p. Identification of the liver 60 kDa protein as Cln3p was ascertained by amino acid sequence analysis using tandem mass spectrometry. Liver Cln3p was predominantly localized in the lysosomal membranes, not in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi apparatus. As the tissue concentration of brain Cln3p was much lower than that of liver Cln3p, it could be detected only after purification from brain extract using anti-Cln3p IgG Sepharose. The apparent molecular masses of liver Cln3p and brain Cln3p were determined to be about 60 kDa and 55 kDa, respectively. Both brain and liver Cln3p were deglycosylated by PNGase F treatment to form polypeptides with almost the same molecular mass (45 kDa). However, they were not affected by Endo h treatment. In addition, it was also elucidated that the amino terminal region of Cln3p faces the cytosol.

Abstract
We describe a method that allows for the concurrent proteomic analysis of both membrane and soluble proteins from complex membrane-containing samples. When coupled with multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT), this method results in (i) the identification of soluble and membrane proteins, (ii) the identification of post-translational modification sites on soluble and membrane proteins, and (iii) the characterization of membrane protein topology and relative localization of soluble proteins. Overlapping peptides produced from digestion with the robust nonspecific protease proteinase K facilitates the identification of covalent modifications (phosphorylation and methylation). High-pH treatment disrupts sealed membrane compartments without solubilizing or denaturing the lipid bilayer to allow mapping of the soluble domains of integral membrane proteins. Furthermore, coupling protease protection strategies to this method permits characterization of the relative sidedness of the hydrophilic domains of membrane proteins.

Abstract
The protein encoded by the vaccinia virus F13L open reading frame is required for the wrapping of intracellular mature virions by cisternae derived from trans-Golgi or endosomal membranes and is an abundant, palmitylated component of the outer membrane of extracellular virions. To study the topology of the F13L protein, we constructed recombinant vaccinia viruses and plasmids that express the F13L protein with an N- or C-terminal HA epitope tag. The recombinant viruses formed normal-size plaques and the tagged proteins were incorporated into the two outer membranes of intracellular enveloped virions (IEV), indicating that the epitope-tagged proteins were functional. By selective permeabilization of the plasma membrane of infected or transfected cells, we demonstrated that the N- and C-termini of the F13L proteins in the outer IEV membrane, as well as cellular membranes, were oriented toward the cytoplasm. After fusion of the outer viral membrane with the plasma membrane, externalized virions retain the inner of the two IEV membranes. The N- and C-termini of the F13L protein were exposed on the inner surface of this extracellular viral membrane, consistent with the accepted model of biogenesis of the IEV membrane by a wrapping process. Using a coupled in vitro transcription and translation system modified by the addition of microsomes, we determined that the F13L protein associated posttranslationally with membranes. The N- and C-termini were susceptible to protease digestion and the protein could be extracted with sodium carbonate, consistent with a peripheral mode of association.

Abstract
Membrane proteins perform some of the most important functions in the cell, including the regulation of cell signaling through surface receptors, cell-cell interactions, and the intracellular compartmentalization of organelles. Recent developments in proteomic strategies have focused on the inclusion of membrane proteins in high-throughput analyses. While slow and steady progress continues to be made in gel-based technologies, significant advances have been reported in non-gel shotgun methods using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS). These latter strategies facilitate the identification of large numbers of membrane proteins and modifications, and have the potential to provide insights into protein topology and orientation in membranes.

Abstract
Replication of all known positive-strand RNA viruses occurs in replication complexes associated with intracellular membranes. The putative nucleoside triphosphate binding (NTB) protein of Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) contains a stretch of hydrophobic residues at its C terminus, suggesting that it may act as a membrane anchor for the replication complex. Anti-NTB antibodies detected two predominant proteins in membrane-enriched fractions (the 66-kDa NTB and 69-kDa NTB-VPg proteins) along with other, larger proteins. The proteins containing the NTB domain cofractionated with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and with ToRSV-specific RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in sucrose gradients. ToRSV infection induced severe changes in the morphology of the ER in plants expressing an ER-targeted green fluorescent protein (ER-GFP), and proteins containing the NTB domain colocalized with ER-GFP in indirect immunofluorescence assays. The proteins containing the NTB domain have properties of integral membrane proteins. Proteinase K protection assays using purified membranes from infected plants revealed that although the central portion of the NTB domain is exposed to the cytoplasmic face of the membranes, an 8-kDa fragment, recognized by anti-VPg antibodies, is protected by the membranes. This fragment probably consists of the 3-kDa VPg and the 5-kDa stretch of hydrophobic residues at the C terminus of the NTB protein, suggesting a luminal location for the VPg in at least a portion of the molecules. These results provide evidence that proteins containing the NTB domain are transmembrane proteins associated with ER-derived membranes and support the hypothesis that one or several of the proteins containing the NTB domain anchor the replication complex to the ER.

Abstract
OS-9, a protein previously uncharacterized, was shown to interact specifically with the intracellular region of the membrane proteinase meprin beta found in brush border membranes of kidney and small intestine. We have shown previously that this cytoplasmic region is indispensable for the maturation of meprin beta, which included an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi translocation. We characterized OS-9 and found that it is associated with ER membranes and that it is exposed to the cytoplasm. Consistent with the kinetics of maturation of meprin beta, OS-9 associates with meprin beta only transiently, coinciding with ER-to-Golgi transport of meprin beta. The OS-9-binding site in the cytoplasmic domain of meprin beta overlaps the region essential for this transport. We characterized alternatively spliced forms of rat and mouse OS-9, and we found that only the non-spliced form of OS-9 binds to meprin beta, implicating the spliced out segment in the binding, and suggesting the possible mechanism of the regulation of OS-9 function. Taken together, our results indicated that OS-9 may be involved in the ER-to-Golgi transport of meprin beta. Ubiquitous expression of OS-9 raises the possibility that it may interact with other membrane proteins that possess the cytoplasmic moiety homologous to that of meprin beta during their ER-to-Golgi transition.

Abstract
A monoclonal IgM has been characterised which recognises the nuclear lamins in all mammalian cells tested. In immunoblotting experiments using both one- and two-dimensional gels it recognises lamins A, B and C. The common antigenic determinant lies on a proteolytic fragment of 46,000 daltons which can be generated from each lamin polypeptide by treatment with chymotrypsin. In immunofluorescence experiments on whole cells and thin frozen sections, the antibody labelled only the nuclear envelope and not the nuclear interior. During mitosis, labelling was found dispersed throughout the cell cytoplasm. By immunoelectron microscopy using the antibody and protein A-gold, only the nucleoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope (the nuclear lamina) was labelled, but there was no labelling of the nuclear pores.
