Abstract
Mitochondria are vital organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Although most of the mitochondrial proteins are nuclear-encoded, mitochondria contain their own genome, whose proper expression is necessary for mitochondrial function. Transcription of the human mitochondrial genome results in the synthesis of long polycistronic transcripts that are subsequently processed by endonucleases to release individual RNA molecules, including precursors of sense protein-encoding mRNA (mt-mRNA) and a vast amount of antisense noncoding RNAs. Because of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization, the regulation of individual gene expression at the transcriptional level is limited. Although transcription of most protein-coding mitochondrial genes occurs with the same frequency, steady-state levels of mature transcripts are different. Therefore, post-transcriptional processes are important for regulating mt-mRNA levels. The mitochondrial degradosome is a complex composed of the RNA helicase SUV3 (also known as SUPV3L1) and polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase, PNPT1). It is the best-characterized RNA-degrading machinery in human mitochondria, which is primarily responsible for the decay of mitochondrial antisense RNA. The mechanism of mitochondrial sense RNA decay is less understood. This review aims to provide a general picture of mitochondrial genome expression, with a particular focus on mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) degradation.

Abstract
Targeting proximity-labeling enzymes to specific cellular locations is a viable strategy for profiling subcellular proteomes. Here, we generated transgenic mice (MAX-Tg) expressing a mitochondrial matrix-targeted ascorbate peroxidase. Comparative analysis of matrix proteomes from the muscle tissues showed differential enrichment of mitochondrial proteins. We found that reticulon 4-interacting protein 1 (RTN4IP1), also known as optic atrophy-10, is enriched in the mitochondrial matrix of muscle tissues and is an NADPH oxidoreductase. Interactome analysis and in vitro enzymatic assays revealed an essential role for RTN4IP1 in coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis by regulating the O-methylation activity of COQ3. Rtn4ip1-knockout myoblasts had markedly decreased CoQ9 levels and impaired cellular respiration. Furthermore, muscle-specific knockdown of dRtn4ip1 in flies resulted in impaired muscle function, which was reversed by dietary supplementation with soluble CoQ. Collectively, these results demonstrate that RTN4IP1 is a mitochondrial NAD(P)H oxidoreductase essential for supporting mitochondrial respiration activity in the muscle tissue.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replicates in human cells by interacting with host factors following infection. To understand the virus and host interactome proximity, we introduce a super-resolution proximity labeling (SR-PL) method with a "plug-and-playable" PL enzyme, TurboID-GBP (GFP-binding nanobody protein), and we apply it for interactome mapping of SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a and membrane protein (M), which generates highly perturbed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structures. Through SR-PL analysis of the biotinylated interactome, 224 and 272 peptides are robustly identified as ORF3a and M interactomes, respectively. Within the ORF3a interactome, RNF5 co-localizes with ORF3a and generates ubiquitin modifications of ORF3a that can be involved in protein degradation. We also observe that the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate is efficiently reduced by the overexpression of RNF5 in host cells. The interactome data obtained using the SR-PL method are presented at https://sarscov2.spatiomics.org. We hope that our method will contribute to revealing virus-host interactions of other viruses in an efficient manner.

Abstract
Peroxidase is a heme-containing enzyme that reduces hydrogen peroxide to water by extracting electron(s) from aromatic compounds via a sequential turnover reaction. This reaction can generate various aromatic radicals in the form of short-lived "spray" molecules. These can be either covalently attached to proximal proteins or polymerized via radical-radical coupling. Recent studies have shown that these peroxidase-generated radicals can be utilized as effective tools for spatial research in biological systems, including imaging studies aimed at the spatial localization of proteins using electron microscopy, spatial proteome mapping, and spatial sensing of metabolites (e.g., heme and hydrogen peroxide). This review may facilitate the wider utilization of these peroxidase-based methods for spatial discovery in cellular biology.

Abstract
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small RNAs that play a conserved role in genome defense. The piRNA processing pathway is dependent on the sequestration of RNA precursors and protein factors in specific subcellular compartments. Therefore, a highly resolved spatial proteomics approach can help identify the local interactions and elucidate the unknown aspects of piRNA biogenesis. Herein, we performed TurboID proximity labeling to investigate the interactome of Zucchini (Zuc), a key factor of piRNA biogenesis in germline cells and somatic follicle cells of the Drosophila ovary. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of biotinylated proteins defined the Zuc-proximal proteome, including the well-known partners of Zuc. Many of these were enriched in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM), where Zuc was specifically localized. The proximal proteome of Zuc showed a distinct set of proteins compared with that of Tom20, a representative OMM protein, indicating that chaperone function-related and endomembrane system/vesicle transport proteins are previously unreported interacting partners of Zuc. The functional relevance of several candidates in piRNA biogenesis was validated by derepression of transposable elements after knockdown. Our results present potential Zuc-interacting proteins, suggesting unrecognized biological processes.

Abstract
The transcriptional response to genotoxic stress involves gene expression arrest, followed by recovery of mRNA synthesis (RRS) after DNA repair. We find that the lack of the EXD2 nuclease impairs RRS and decreases cell survival after UV irradiation, without affecting DNA repair. Overexpression of wild-type, but not nuclease-dead EXD2, restores RRS and cell survival. We observe that UV irradiation triggers the relocation of EXD2 from mitochondria to the nucleus. There, EXD2 is recruited to chromatin where it transiently interacts with RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) to promote the degradation of nascent mRNAs synthesized at the time of genotoxic attack. Reconstitution of the EXD2-RNAPII partnership on a transcribed DNA template in vitro shows that EXD2 primarily interacts with an elongation-blocked RNAPII and efficiently digests mRNA. Overall, our data highlight a crucial step in the transcriptional response to genotoxic attack in which EXD2 interacts with elongation-stalled RNAPII on chromatin to potentially degrade the associated nascent mRNA, allowing transcription restart after DNA repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Germ granules are large cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complexes that emerge in the germline to participate in RNA regulation. The two most prominent germ granules are the intermitochondrial cement (IMC) in meiotic spermatocytes and the chromatoid body (CB) in haploid round spermatids, both functionally linked to the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway. AIMS In this study, we clarified the IMC function by identifying proteins that form complexes with a well-known IMC protein PIWIL2/MILI in the mouse testis. RESULTS The PIWIL2 interactome included several proteins with known functions in piRNA biogenesis. We further characterized the expression and localization of two of the identified proteins, Exonuclease 3'-5' domain-containing proteins EXD1 and EXD2, and confirmed their localization to the IMC. We showed that EXD2 interacts with PIWIL2, and that the mutation of Exd2 exonuclease domain in mice induces misregulation of piRNA levels originating from specific pachytene piRNA clusters, but does not disrupt male fertility. CONCLUSION Altogether, this study highlights the central role of the IMC as a platform for piRNA biogenesis, and suggests that EXD1 and EXD2 function in the IMC-mediated RNA regulation in postnatal male germ cells.

Abstract
EXD2 is a recently identified exonuclease that cleaves RNA and DNA in double-stranded (ds) forms. It thus serves as a model system for investigating the similarities and discrepancies between exoribonuclease and exodeoxyribonuclease activities and for understanding the nucleic acid (NA) unwinding-degradation coordination of an exonuclease. Here, using a single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) approach, we show that despite stable binding to both substrates, EXD2 barely cleaves dsDNA and yet displays both exoribonuclease and exodeoxyribonuclease activities toward RNA-DNA hybrids with a cleavage preference for RNA. Unexpectedly, EXD2-mediated hybrid cleavage proceeds in a discrete stepwise pattern, wherein a sudden 4-bp duplex unwinding increment and the subsequent dwell constitute a complete hydrolysis cycle. The relatively weak exodeoxyribonuclease activity of EXD2 partially originates from frequent hybrid rewinding. Importantly, kinetic analysis and comparison of the dwell times under varied conditions reveal two rate-limiting steps of hybrid unwinding and nucleotide excision. Overall, our findings help better understand the cellular functions of EXD2, and the cyclic coupling between duplex unwinding and exonucleolytic degradation may be generalizable to other exonucleases.

Abstract
Subcellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential to understanding the mechanism of diverse cellular signaling events and the pathogenesis of diseases. Herein, we report an integrated APEX proximity labeling and chemical cross-linking coupled with mass spectrometry (CXMS) platform named APEX-CXMS for spatially resolved subcellular interactome profiling in a high-throughput manner. APEX proximity labeling rapidly captures subcellular proteomes, and the highly reactive chemical cross-linkers can capture weak and dynamic interactions globally without extra genetic manipulation. APEX-CXMS was first applied to mitochondria and identified 653 pairs of interprotein cross-links. Six pairs of new interactions were selected and verified by coimmunoprecipitation, the mammalian two-hybrid system, and surface plasmon resonance method. Besides, our approach was further applied to the nucleus, capturing 336 pairs of interprotein cross-links with approximately 94% nuclear specificity. APEX-CXMS thus provides a simple, fast, and general alternative to map diverse subcellular PPIs.

Abstract
Although DNA degradation might seem an unwanted event, it is essential in many cellular processes that are key to maintaining genomic stability and cell and organism homeostasis. The capacity to cut out nucleotides one at a time from the end of a DNA chain is present in enzymes called exonucleases. Exonuclease activity might come from enzymes with multiple other functions or specialized enzymes only dedicated to this function. Exonucleases are involved in central pathways of cell biology such as DNA replication, repair, and death, as well as tuning the immune response. Of note, malfunctioning of these enzymes is associated with immune disorders and cancer. In this review, we will dissect the impact of DNA degradation on the DNA damage response and its links with inflammation and cancer.

Abstract
![]()
Proximity
labeling can be defined as an enzymatic “in-cell”
chemical reaction that catalyzes the proximity-dependent modification
of biomolecules in live cells. Since the modified proteins can be
isolated and identified via mass spectrometry, this method has been
successfully utilized for the characterization of local proteomes
such as the sub-mitochondrial proteome and the proteome at membrane
contact sites, or spatiotemporal interactome information in live cells,
which are not “accessible” via conventional methods.
Currently, proximity labeling techniques can be applied not only for
local proteome mapping but also for profiling local RNA and DNA, in
addition to showing great potential for elucidating spatial cell–cell
interaction networks in live animal models. We believe that proximity
labeling has emerged as an essential tool in “spatiomics,”
that is, for the extraction of spatially distributed biological information
in a cell or organism. Proximity labeling is a multidisciplinary
chemical technique. For
a decade, we and other groups have engineered it for multiple applications
based on the modulation of enzyme chemistry, chemical probe design,
and mass analysis techniques that enable superior mapping results.
The technique has been adopted in biology and chemistry. This “in-cell”
reaction has been widely adopted by biologists who modified it into
an in vivo reaction in animal models. In our laboratory, we conducted
in vivo proximity labeling reactions in mouse models and could successfully
obtain the liver-specific secretome and muscle-specific mitochondrial
matrix proteome. We expect that proximity reaction can further contribute
to revealing tissue-specific localized molecular information in live
animal models. Simultaneously, chemists have also adopted the
concept and employed
chemical “photocatalysts” as artificial enzymes to develop
new proximity labeling reactions. Under light activation, photocatalysts
can convert the precursor molecules to the reactive species via electron
transfer or energy transfer and the reactive molecules can react with
proximal biomolecules within a definite lifetime in an aqueous solution.
To identify the modified biomolecules by proximity labeling, the modified
biomolecules should be enriched after lysis and sequenced using sequencing
tools. In this analysis step, the direct detection of modified residue(s)
on the modified proteins or nucleic acids can be the proof of their
labeling event by proximal enzymes or catalysts in the cell. In this
Account, we introduce the basic concept of proximity labeling and
the multidirectional advances in the development of this method. We
believe that this Account may facilitate further utilization and modification
of the method in both biological and chemical research communities,
thereby revealing unknown spatially distributed molecular or cellular
information or spatiome.

Abstract
RNA degradation is fundamental for cellular homeostasis. The process is carried out by various classes of endolytic and exolytic enzymes that together degrade an RNA polymer to mono-ribonucleotides. Within the exoribonucleases, nano-RNases play a unique role as they act on the smallest breakdown products and hence catalyze the final steps in the process. We recently showed that oligoribonuclease (Orn) acts as a dedicated diribonuclease, defining the ultimate step in RNA degradation that is crucial for cellular fitness (Kim et al., 2019). Whether such a specific activity exists in organisms that lack Orn-type exoribonucleases remained unclear. Through quantitative structure-function analyses, we show here that NrnC-type RNases share this narrow substrate length preference with Orn. Although NrnC and Orn employ similar structural features that distinguish these two classes of dinucleases from other exonucleases, the key determinants for dinuclease activity are realized through distinct structural scaffolds. The structures, together with comparative genomic analyses of the phylogeny of DEDD-type exoribonucleases, indicate convergent evolution as the mechanism of how dinuclease activity emerged repeatedly in various organisms. The evolutionary pressure to maintain dinuclease activity further underlines the important role these analogous proteins play for cell growth.

Abstract
Proximity labeling (PL) with genetically-targeted promiscuous enzymes has emerged as a powerful tool for unbiased proteome discovery. By combining the spatiotemporal specificity of PL with methods for functional protein enrichment, we show that it is possible to map specific protein subclasses within distinct compartments of living cells. In particular, we develop a method to enrich subcompartment-specific RNA binding proteins (RBPs) by combining peroxidase-catalyzed PL with organic-aqueous phase separation of crosslinked protein-RNA complexes (“APEX-PS”). We use APEX-PS to generate datasets of nuclear, nucleolar, and outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) RBPs, which can be mined for novel functions. For example, we find that the OMM RBP SYNJ2BP retains specific nuclear-encoded mitochondrial mRNAs at the OMM during translation stress, facilitating their local translation and import of protein products into the mitochondrion during stress recovery. Functional PL in general, and APEX-PS in particular, represent versatile approaches for the discovery of proteins with novel function in specific subcellular compartments. Proximity labeling is used to map and discover proteins in specific subcellular compartments. Here the authors combine APEX-mediated proximity labeling with organic-aqueous phase separation to identify nuclear, nucleolar, and outer mitochondrial membrane RNA binding proteins.

Abstract
We used BioID, a proximity-dependent biotinylation assay with 100 mitochondrial baits from all mitochondrial sub-compartments, to create a high-resolution human mitochondrial proximity interaction network. We identified 1,465 proteins, producing 15,626 unique high-confidence proximity interactions. Of these, 528 proteins were previously annotated as mitochondrial, nearly half of the mitochondrial proteome defined by Mitocarta 2.0. Bait-bait analysis showed a clear separation of mitochondrial compartments, and correlation analysis among preys across all baits allowed us to identify functional clusters involved in diverse mitochondrial functions and to assign uncharacterized proteins to specific modules. We demonstrate that this analysis can assign isoforms of the same mitochondrial protein to different mitochondrial sub-compartments and show that some proteins may have multiple cellular locations. Outer membrane baits showed specific proximity interactions with cytosolic proteins and proteins in other organellar membranes, suggesting specialization of proteins responsible for contact site formation between mitochondria and individual organelles.

Abstract
In order to synthesize the 13 oxidative phosphorylation proteins encoded by mammalian mtDNA, a large assortment of nuclear encoded proteins is required. These include mitoribosomal proteins and various RNA processing, modification and degradation enzymes. RNA crosslinking has been successfully applied to identify whole-cell poly(A) RNA-binding proteomes, but this method has not been adapted to identify mitochondrial poly(A) RNA-binding proteomes. Here we developed and compared two related methods that specifically enrich for mitochondrial poly(A) RNA-binding proteins and analyzed bound proteins using mass spectrometry. To obtain a catalog of the mitochondrial poly(A) RNA interacting proteome, we used Bayesian data integration to combine these two mitochondrial-enriched datasets as well as published whole-cell datasets of RNA-binding proteins with various online resources, such as mitochondrial localization from MitoCarta 2.0 and co-expression analyses. Our integrated analyses ranked the complete human proteome for the likelihood of mtRNA interaction. We show that at a specific, inclusive cut-off of the corrected false discovery rate (cFDR) of 69%, we improve the number of predicted proteins from 185 to 211 with our mass spectrometry data as input for the prediction instead of the published whole-cell datasets. The chosen cut-off determines the cFDR: the less proteins included, the lower the cFDR will be. For the top 100 proteins, inclusion of our data instead of the published whole-cell datasets improve the cFDR from 54% to 31%. We show that the mass spectrometry method most specific for mitochondrial RNA-binding proteins involves ex vivo 4-thiouridine labeling followed by mitochondrial isolation with subsequent in organello UV-crosslinking.

Abstract
Determining the topology of the membrane proteome is fundamental for understanding its function at the membrane. However, conventional methods involving test tube reactions often lead to unreliable results, which do not accurately reflect membrane topology under physiological conditions, as perturbations occur during lysis. In this Perspective, we introduce a new method using engineered ascorbate peroxidase (APEX) for revealing membrane topological information in live cells without performing complicated sample preparation. We also discuss several examples of clearly resolved membrane topologies of various important mitochondrial proteins (e.g., LETM1, NDUFB10, MCU, SFXN1, and EXD2) and endoplasmic reticulum proteins (e.g., HMOX1) determined by using APEX-based methods.
