Abstract
Recent advances in chemical proteomics have focused on developing chemical probes that react with nucleophilic amino acid residues. Although histidine is an attractive candidate due to its importance in enzymatic catalysis, metal binding and protein-protein interaction, its moderate nucleophilicity poses challenges. Its modification is frequently influenced by cysteine and lysine, which results in poor selectivity and narrow proteome coverage. Here we report a singlet oxygen and chemical probe relay labelling method that achieves high selectivity towards histidine. Libraries of small-molecule photosensitizers and chemical probes were screened to optimize histidine labelling, enabling histidine profiling in live cells with around 7,200 unique sites. Using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, we characterized the reaction mechanism and the structures of the resulting products. We then applied this method to discover unannotated histidine sites key to enzymatic activity and metal binding in select metalloproteins. This method also revealed the accessibility change of histidine mediated by protein-protein interaction that influences select protein subcellular localization, underscoring its capability in discovering functional histidines.

Abstract
We report the application of a highly versatile and engineerable novel sensor platform to monitor biologically significant and toxic metal ions in live human Caco-2 enterocytes. The extended conjugation between the fluorescent porphyrin core and metal ions through aromatic phenylphosphonic acid tethers generates a unique turn off and turn on fluorescence and, in addition, shifts in absorption and emission spectra for zinc, cobalt, cadmium and mercury. The reported fluorescent probes p-H8 TPPA and m-H8 TPPA can monitor a wide range of metal ion concentrations via fluorescence titration and also via fluorescence decay curves. Cu- and Zn-induced turn off fluorescence can be differentially reversed by the addition of common chelators. Both p-H8 TPPA and m-H8 TPPA readily pass the mammalian cellular membrane due to their amphipathic character as confirmed by confocal microscopic imaging of living enterocytes.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the largest contributors to the burden of chronic disease in the world and is the second leading cause of death globally. It is associated with episodes of low-oxygen stress (hypoxia or ischemia/reperfusion) that promotes cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. Efforts have been made in the past using traditional proteomic approaches to decipher oxygen deprivation stress-related mechanisms of the disease initiation and progression and to identify key proteins as a therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention. Despite the potential benefits of proteomic in translational research for the discovery of new drugs, the therapeutic outcome with this approach has not met expectations in clinical trials. This is mainly due to the disease complexity which possess a multifaceted molecular pathology. Therefore, novel strategies to identify and characterize clinically important sets of modulators and molecular events for multi-target drug discovery are needed. Here, we review important past and current studies on proteomics in cancer with an emphasis on recent pioneered labeling approaches in mass spectrometry (MS)-based systematic quantitative analysis to improve clinical success. We also discuss the results of the selected innovative publications that integrate advanced proteomic technologies (e.g. MALDI-MSI, pSILAC/SILAC/iTRAQ/TMT-LC-MS/MS, MRM-MS) for comprehensive analysis of proteome dynamics in different biosystems, including cell type, cell species, and subcellular proteome (i.e. secretome and chromatome). Finally, we discuss the future direction and challenges in the application of these technological advancements in mass spectrometry within the context of cancer and hypoxia.

Abstract
A new chelating chromatography method was developed based in the use of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with EDTA-TMS ((N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)ethylenediaminetriacetate trisodium salt). These particles combine a high surface area, biocompatibility and magnetic removal from solution, with the chelating affinity towards metal ions. The particles were used to selectively capture metallo-dependant proteins in secretome obtained from human monocytes and mouse macrophages. Secreted metallo-dependant proteins are highly important sources of information since they are involved in several pathological processes. The identification of secreted proteins involved in these processes is highly important for diagnosis or monitoring the progression of a disease. In this multiple-approach study it was possible to not only selectively capture several secreted metallo-dependant proteins, but also to significantly avoid masking proteins such as the highly abundant albumin form the fetal bovine serum used to supplement the cell culture medium. Overall, the magnetic nanoparticle-based chelating chromatography method developed here has proved to be a sensitive, low cost, and a quick tool for sample treatment in order to selectively enrich metalloproteins while overcoming the contamination of highly abundant proteins.

Abstract
This work reports on the use of a three dimensional separation system to enhance metalloprotein information when considering soybean seeds. Separations using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) allowed identification of three metal fractions. Following an anion exchange (AEX) chromatographic separation in the second dimension, the resultant sub-fractions were lyophilized and subjected to a third dimension of separation using a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After the separation, the bands were digested, and, in addition to others, the following proteins, previously associated with metals, were identified: 3-lipoxygenase A chain (soybean) complex with 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid, beta-amylase [Glycine max], seed lipoxygenase-1, lipoxygenase [G. max], seed lipoxygenase-2 (Pisum sativum) and beta-conglycinin. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Techniques presenting high resolution are desired due to their capability in resolving great amount of signals (responses) generated from hundreds of proteins generally found in different samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that bidimensional chromatographic system which allied to another separation dimension is applied for improving protein identification, so that higher number and different proteins were found when comparing 2D dimension with 3D dimension. In fact, this strategy is welcoming in proteomics studies, in order to improve the comprehension of those systems that present large number of proteins. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Environmental and structural proteomics.

Abstract
The adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate reductase (AprAB) is the enzyme responsible for the reduction of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) to sulfite in the biological process of dissimilatory sulfate reduction, which is carried out by a ubiquitous group of sulfate reducing prokaryotes. The electron donor for AprAB has not been clearly identified, but was proposed to be the QmoABC membrane complex, since an aprBA–qmoABC gene cluster is found in many sulfate reducing and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The QmoABC complex is essential for sulfate reduction, but electron transfer between QmoABC and AprAB has not been reported. In this work we provide the first direct evidence that QmoABC and AprAB interact in Desulfovibrio spp., using co-immunoprecipitation, cross-linking Far-Western blot, tag-affinity purification, and surface plasmon resonance studies. This showed that the QmoABC–AprAB complex has a strong steady-state affinity (KD = 90 ± 3 nM), but has a transient character due to a fast dissociation rate. Far-Western blot identified QmoA as the Qmo subunit most involved in the interaction. Nevertheless, electron transfer from menaquinol analogs to APS through anaerobically purified QmoABC and AprAB could not be detected. We propose that this reaction requires the involvement of a third partner to allow electron flow driven by a reverse electron bifurcation process, i.e., electron confurcation. This process is deemed essential to allow coupling of APS reduction to chemiosmotic energy conservation.

Abstract
Most of the biochemical and biophysical processes of proteins take place at membranes, and are thus under the influence of strong local electric fields, which are likely to affect the structure as well as the reaction mechanism and dynamics. To analyse such electric field effects, biomimetic interfaces may be employed that consist of membrane models deposited on nanostructured metal electrodes. For such devices, surface-enhanced resonance Raman and IR absorption spectroscopy are powerful techniques to disentangle the complex interfacial processes of proteins in terms of rotational diffusion, electron transfer, and protein and cofactor structural changes. The present article reviews the results obtained for the haem protein cytochrome c, which is widely used as a model protein for studying the various reaction steps of interfacial redox processes in general. In addition, it is shown that electric field effects may be functional for the natural redox processes of cytochrome c in the respiratory chain, as well as for the switch from the redox to the peroxidase function, one of the key events preceding apoptosis.
