Abstract
![]()
The fields of application
of functional proteomics are not limited
to the study of protein–protein interactions; they also extend
to those involving protein complexes that bind DNA or RNA. These interactions
affect fundamental processes such as replication, transcription, and
repair in the case of DNA, as well as transport, translation, splicing,
and silencing in the case of RNA. Analytical or preparative experimental
approaches, both in vivo and in vitro, have been developed to isolate and identify DNA/RNA binding proteins
by exploiting the advantage of the affinity shown by these proteins
toward a specific oligonucleotide sequence. The present review proposes
an overview of the approaches most commonly employed in proteomics
applications for the identification of nucleic acid-binding proteins,
such as affinity purification (AP) protocols, EMSA, chromatin purification
methods, and CRISPR-based chromatin affinity purification, which are
generally associated with mass spectrometry methodologies for the
unbiased protein identification.

Nucleic Acids Res 2016; 44:4721-33. [PMID: 26921407 PMCID: PMC4889927 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkw121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2015] [Accepted: 02/17/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
DNA ends get exposed in cells upon either normal or dysfunctional cellular processes or molecular events. Telomeres need to be protected by the shelterin complex to avoid junctions occurring between chromosomes while failing topoisomerases or clustered DNA damage processing may produce double-strand breaks, thus requiring swift repair to avoid cell death. The rigorous study of the great many proteins involved in the maintenance of DNA integrity is a challenging task because of the innumerous unspecific electrostatic and/or hydrophobic DNA—protein interactions that arise due to the chemical nature of DNA. We devised a technique that discriminates the proteins recruited specifically at DNA ends from those that bind to DNA because of a generic affinity for the double helix. Our study shows that the DNA ends proteome comprises proteins of an unexpectedly wide functional spectrum, ranging from DNA repair to ribosome biogenesis and cytoskeleton, including novel proteins of undocumented function. A global mapping of the identified proteome on published DNA repair protein networks demonstrated the excellent specificity and functional coverage of our purification technique. Finally, the native nucleoproteic complexes that assembled specifically onto DNA ends were shown to be endowed with a highly efficient DNA repair activity.

Abstract
The identification of the regulatory proteins that control DNA transcription as well as RNA stability and translation represents a key step in the comprehension of gene expression regulation. Those proteins can be purified by DNA- or RNA-affinity chromatography, followed by identification by mass spectrometry. Although very simple in the concept, this represents a real technological challenge due to the low abundance of regulatory proteins compared to the highly abundant proteins binding to nucleic acids in a nonsequence-specific manner. Here we review the different strategies that have been set up to reach this purpose, discussing the key parameters that should be considered to increase the chances of success. Typically, two categories of biological questions can be distinguished: the identification of proteins that specifically interact with a precisely defined binding site, mostly addressed by quantitative mass spectrometry, and the identification in a non-comparative manner of the protein complexes recruited by a poorly characterized long regulatory region of nucleic acids. Finally, beside the numerous studies devoted to in vitro-assembled nucleic acid-protein complexes, the scarce data reported on proteomic analyses of in vivo-assembled complexes are described, with a special emphasis on the associated challenges.

Abstract
DNA is the target of multiple endogenous and exogenous agents generating chemical lesions on the double helix. Cellular DNA damage response pathways rely on a myriad of proteins interacting with DNA alterations. The cartography of this interactome currently includes well known actors of chromatin remodelling, DNA repair or proteins hijacked from their natural functions such as transcription factors. In order to go further into the characterisation of these protein networks, proteomics-based methods began to be used in the early 2000s. The strategies are diverse and include mainly (i) damaged DNA molecules used as targets on protein microarrays, (ii) damaged DNA probes used to trap within complex cellular extracts proteins that are then separated and identified by proteomics, (iii) identification of chromatin- bound proteins after a genotoxic stress, or (iv) identification of proteins associated with other proteins already known to be part of DNA damage interactome. All these approaches have already been performed to find new proteins recognizing oxidised bases, abasic sites, strand breaks or crosslinks generated by anticancer drugs such as nitrogen mustards and platinating agents. Identified interactions are generally confirmed using complementary methods such as electromobility shift assays or surface plasmon resonance. These strategies allowed, for example, demonstration of interactions between cisplatin-DNA crosslinks and PARP-1 or the protein complex PTW/PP. The next challenging step will be to understand the biological repercussions of these newly identified interactions which may help to unravel new mechanisms involved in genetic toxicology, discover new cellular responses to anticancer drugs or identify new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
To depict the largest picture of a core promoter interactome, we developed a one-step DNA-affinity capture method coupled with an improved mass spectrometry analysis process focused on the identification of low abundance proteins. As a proof of concept, this method was developed through the analysis of 230 bp contained in the 5′long terminal repeat (LTR) of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). Beside many expected interactions, many new transcriptional regulators were identified, either transcription factors (TFs) or co-regulators, which interact directly or indirectly with the HIV-1 5′LTR. Among them, the homeodomain-containing TF myeloid ectopic viral integration site was confirmed to functionally interact with a specific binding site in the HIV-1 5′LTR and to act as a transcriptional repressor, probably through recruitment of the repressive Sin3A complex. This powerful and validated DNA-affinity approach could also be used as an efficient screening tool to identify a large set of proteins that physically interact, directly or indirectly, with a DNA sequence of interest. Combined with an in silico analysis of the DNA sequence of interest, this approach provides a powerful approach to select the interacting candidates to validate functionally by classical approaches.

Abstract
Platinating agents are commonly prescribed anticancer drugs damaging DNA. Induced lesions are recognized by a wide range of proteins. These are involved in cellular mechanisms such as DNA repair, mediation of cytotoxicity or chromatin remodeling. They therefore constitute crucial actors to understand pharmacology of these drugs. To expand our knowledge about this subproteome, we developed a ligand fishing trap coupled to high throughput proteomic tools. This trap is made of damaged plasmids attached to magnetic beads, and was exposed to cell nuclear extracts. Retained proteins were identified by nanoHPLC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. This approach allowed us to establish a list of 38 proteins interacting with DNA adducts generated by cisplatin, oxaliplatin and satraplatin. Some of them were already known interactome members like high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) or the human upstream binding factor (hUBF), but we also succeeded in identifying unexpected proteins such as TOX HMG box family member 4 (TOX4), phosphatase 1 nuclear targeting subunit (PNUTS), and WD repeat-containing protein 82 (WDR82), members of a recently discovered complex. Interaction between TOX4 and platinated DNA was subsequently validated by surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). These interactions highlight new cellular responses to DNA damage induced by chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Numerous biological mechanisms depend on nucleic acid--protein interactions. The first step to the understanding of these mechanisms is to identify interacting molecules. Knowing one partner, the identification of other associated molecular species can be carried out using affinity-based purification procedures. When the nucleic acid-binding protein is known, the nucleic acid can be isolated and identified by sensitive techniques such as polymerase chain reaction followed by DNA sequencing or hybridization on chips. The reverse identification procedure is less straightforward in part because interesting nucleic acid-binding proteins are generally of low abundance and there are no methods to amplify amino acid sequences. In this article, we will review the strategies that have been developed to identify nucleic acid-binding proteins. We will focus on methods permitting the identification of these proteins without a priori knowledge of protein candidates.
