Abstract
Plants are remarkable in their ability to adapt to changing environments, with receptor-like kinases (RLKs) playing a pivotal role in perceiving and transmitting environmental cues into cellular responses. Despite extensive research on RLKs from the plant kingdom, the function and activity of many kinases, i.e., their substrates or "clients", remain uncharted. To validate a novel client prediction workflow and learn more about an important RLK, this study focuses on P2K1 (DORN1), which acts as a receptor for extracellular ATP (eATP), playing a crucial role in plant stress resistance and immunity. We designed a Kinase-Client (KiC) assay library of 225 synthetic peptides, incorporating previously identified P2K phosphorylated peptides and novel predictions from a deep-learning phosphorylation site prediction model (MUsite) and a trained hidden Markov model (HMM) based tool, HMMER. Screening the library against purified P2K1 cytosolic domain (CD), we identified 46 putative substrates, including 34 novel clients, 27 of which may be novel peptides, not previously identified experimentally. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis among phosphopeptide candidates revealed proteins associated with important biological processes in metabolism, structure development, and response to stress, as well as molecular functions of kinase activity, catalytic activity, and transferase activity. We offer selection criteria for efficient further in vivo experiments to confirm these discoveries. This approach not only expands our knowledge of P2K1's substrates and functions but also highlights effective prediction algorithms for identifying additional potential substrates. Overall, the results support use of the KiC assay as a valuable tool in unraveling the complexities of plant phosphorylation and provide a foundation for predicting the phosphorylation landscape of plant species based on peptide library results.

Abstract
Reasonable design and construction of functionalized materials are of great importance for the enrichment of global phosphopeptides. In this work, Ti4+ functionalized hydrophilic covalent organic frameworks by introducing glutathione (GSH) and 2,3,4-trihydroxy benzaldehyde (THBA) via click chemistry and Schiff base reaction (COF-V@GSH-THBA-Ti4+ ) was constructed and applied for selective enrichment of phosphopeptides in serum. Benefit from the high surface area, excellent hydrophilicity as well as regular mesoporous structure, COF-V@GSH-THBA-Ti4+ displayed high selectivity (molar ratio of 2000:1), low limit of detection (0.5 fmol), high load capacity (100.0 mg/g) and excellent size-exclusion effect (1:10000) for enrichment of phosphopeptides. For actual bio-sample analysis, 15 phosphopeptides assigned to 10 phosphoproteins with 16 phosphorylated sites and 33 phosphopeptides assigned to 25 phosphoproteins with 34 phosphorylated sites were detected from the serum of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and normal controls. Biological processes and molecular functions analysis further disclosed the difference of serums with phosphoproteomics between COPD and normal controls.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation regulates a variety of important cellular and physiological processes in plants. In-depth profiling of plant phosphoproteomes has been more technically challenging than that of animal phosphoproteomes. This is largely due to the need to improve protein extraction efficiency from plant cells, which have a dense cell wall, and to minimize sample loss resulting from the stringent sample clean-up steps required for the removal of a large amount of biomolecules interfering with phosphopeptide purification and mass spectrometry analysis. To this end, we developed a method with a streamlined workflow for highly efficient purification of phosphopeptides from tissues of various green organisms including Arabidopsis, rice, tomato, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, enabling in-depth identification with high quantitative reproducibility of about 11 000 phosphosites, the greatest depth achieved so far with single liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) runs operated in a data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode. The mainstay features of the method are the minimal sample loss achieved through elimination of sample clean-up before protease digestion and of desalting before phosphopeptide enrichment and hence the dramatic increases of time- and cost-effectiveness. The method, named GreenPhos, combined with single-shot LC-MS, enabled in-depth quantitative identification of Arabidopsis phosphoproteins, including differentially phosphorylated spliceosomal proteins, at multiple time points during salt stress and a number of kinase substrate motifs. GreenPhos is expected to serve as a universal method for purification of plant phosphopeptides, which, if samples are further fractionated and analyzed by multiple LC-MS runs, could enable measurement of plant phosphoproteomes with an unprecedented depth using a given mass spectrometry technology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Subfornical organ (SFO) is vital in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression caused by high salt levels. The current study investigated the effects of high salt on phosphoproteomic changes in SFO in CKD rats. METHODS 5/6 nephrectomized rats were fed a normal-salt diet (0.4%) (NC group) or a high-salt diet (4%) (HC group) for three weeks, while sham-operated rats were fed a normal-salt diet (0.4%) (NS group). For phosphoproteomic analysis of SFO in different groups, TiO2 enrichment, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were used. RESULTS There were 6808 distinct phosphopeptides found, which corresponded to 2661 phosphoproteins. NC group had 168 upregulated and 250 downregulated phosphopeptides compared to NS group. Comparison to NC group, HC group had 154 upregulated and 124 downregulated phosphopeptides. Growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) and heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) were significantly upregulated phosphoproteins and may protect against high-salt damage. Differential phosphoproteins with tight functional connection were synapse proteins and microtubule-associated proteins, implying that high-salt diet disrupted brain's structure and function. Furthermore, differential phosphoproteins in HC/NC comparison group were annotated to participate in GABAergic synapse signaling pathway and aldosterone synthesis and secretion, which attenuated inhibitory neurotransmitter effects and increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). DISCUSSION This large scale phosphoproteomic profiling of SFO sheds light on how salt aggravates CKD via the central nervous system.

Abstract
Background Certain phosphorylated peptides are differentially presented by MHC molecules on cancer cells characterized by aberrant phosphorylation. Phosphopeptides presented in complex with the human leukocyte antigen HLA-A*02:01 provide a stability advantage over their nonphosphorylated counterparts. This stability is thought to contribute to enhanced immunogenicity. Whether tumor-associated phosphopeptides presented by other common alleles exhibit immunogenicity and structural characteristics similar to those presented by A*02:01 is unclear. Therefore, we determined the identity, structural features, and immunogenicity of phosphopeptides presented by the prevalent alleles HLA-A*03:01, -A*11:01, -C*07:01, and - C*07:02. Methods We isolated peptide-MHC complexes by immunoprecipitation from 10 healthy and neoplastic tissue samples using mass spectrometry, and then combined the resulting data with public immunopeptidomics datasets to assemble a curated set of phosphopeptides presented by 20 distinct healthy and neoplastic tissue types. We determined the biochemical features of selected phosphopeptides by in vitro binding assays and in silico docking, and their immunogenicity by analyzing healthy donor T cells for phosphopeptide-specific multimer binding and cytokine production. Results We identified a subset of phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*03:01, A*11:01, C*07:01 and C*07:02 on multiple tumor types, particularly lymphomas and leukemias, but not healthy tissues. These phosphopeptides are products of genes essential to lymphoma and leukemia survival. The presented phosphopeptides generally exhibited similar or worse binding to A*03:01 than their nonphosphorylated counterparts. HLA-C*07:01 generally presented phosphopeptides but not their unmodified counterparts. Phosphopeptide binding to HLA-C*07:01 was dependent on B- pocket interactions that were absent in HLA-C*07:02. While HLA-A*02:01 and -A*11:01 phosphopeptide-specific T cells could be readily detected in an autologous setting even when the nonphosphorylated peptide was co-presented, HLA-A*03:01 or -C*07:01 phosphopeptides were repeatedly nonimmunogenic, requiring use of allogeneic T cells to induce phosphopeptide- specific T cells. Conclusions Phosphopeptides presented by multiple alleles that are differentially expressed on tumors constitute tumor-specific antigens that could be targeted for cancer immunotherapy, but the immunogenicity of such phosphopeptides is not a general feature. In particular, phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*02:01 and A*11:01 exhibit consistent immunogenicity, while phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*03:01 and C*07:01, although appropriately presented, are not immunogenic. Thus, to address an expanded patient population, phosphopeptide-targeted immunotherapies should be wary of allele-specific differences. What is already known on this topic - Phosphorylated peptides presented by the common HLA alleles A*02:01 and B*07:02 are differentially expressed by multiple tumor types, exhibit structural fitness due to phosphorylation, and are targets of healthy donor T cell surveillance, but it is not clear, however, whether such features apply to phosphopeptides presented by other common HLA alleles. What this study adds - We investigated the tumor presentation, binding, structural features, and immunogenicity of phosphopeptides to the prevalent alleles A*03:01, A*11:01, C*07:01, and C*07:02, selected on the basis of their presentation by malignant cells but not normal cells. We found tumor antigens derived from genetic dependencies in lymphomas and leukemias that bind HLA-A3, -A11, -C7 molecules. While we could detect circulating T cell responses in healthy individuals to A*02:01 and A*11:01 phosphopeptides, we did not find such responses to A*03:01 or C*07:01 phosphopeptides, except when utilizing allogeneic donor T cells, indicating that these phosphopeptides may not be immunogenic in an autologous setting but can still be targeted by other means. How this study might affect research, practice or policy - An expanded patient population expressing alleles other than A*02:01 can be addressed through the development of immunotherapies specific for phosphopeptides profiled in the present work, provided the nuances we describe between alleles are taken into consideration.

Abstract
Dual-selective enrichment of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the complex biological samples are challenging. In this work, considering the versatile properties including surface abundant metal sites and electrostatic attraction between Ti3 C2 -layers and Al-layers, layered ternary carbides Ti3 AlC2 nanomaterials was successfully applied for the first time as an affinity adsorbent for the dual-selective capture of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides. Especially, the Ti3 AlC2 nanomaterials had an excellent detection sensitivity for phosphopeptides (1×10-11 M) and a good selectivity for glycopeptides with a low molar ratio of 1 : 500 of HRP (horseradish peroxidase) to BSA (bovine serum albumin). Furthermore, Ti3 AlC2 nanomaterials was also applied for dual-selective enrichment of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides from mouse brain neocortex lysate and human serum lysate respectively before mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, yielding twenty-two unique phosphopeptides from thirteen phosphoproteins and fifty-three unique glycopeptides from thirty-seven glycoproteins, respectively. This work will open a new avenue and will greatly promote sample preparation for mass spectrometric analysis in phosphoproteomics and glycoproteomics research.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are one of the compulsive and predominant biological processes that regulate the diverse molecular mechanism, modulate the onset of disease, and are the reason behind the functional diversity of proteins. Despite the widespread research findings in neuroproteomics, one of the key drawbacks has been the lack of proteome-level knowledge of hemispheric lateralization. We have investigated the proteome level expression in different neuroanatomical regions under the Human Brain Proteome Project (HBPP) and developed the global interhemispheric brain proteome map (Brainprot) earlier. Furthermore, this study has extended to decipher the phosphoproteome map of human brain interhemispheric regions through high-resolution mass spectrometry. The phosphoproteomics examination of 12 unique interhemispheric neurological brain regions using Orbitrap fusion liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry provided comprehensive coverage of 996 phosphoproteins, 2010 phosphopeptides, and 3567 phosphosites. Moreover, interhemispheric phosphoproteome profiling has been categorized according to synaptic ontologies and interhemispheric expression to understand the functionality. Finally, we have integrated the phosphosites data under the PhosphoMap section in the Inter-Hemispheric Brain Proteome Map Portal (https://www.brainprot.org/) for the advancement and support of the ongoing neuroproteomics research worldwide. Data is available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD031188.

Abstract
The flexible and controlled synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid nanostructures is of great significance in fine tuning of their enrichment performance in large-scale and in-depth phosphoproteome analysis. Herein, a magnetic guanidyl-functionalized MOF hybrid coating with multiaffinity sites, denoted as Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8, was fast fabricated via a one-pot epitaxial growth strategy for the first time and applied for selective and highly efficient enrichment of global phosphopeptides. The intrinsic unsaturated metal sites of ZIF-8 endow the surface-mounted MOF coatings with immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography interaction with multiphosphorylated peptides. The oriented anchoring of bifunctional guanidineacetic acid on the magnetic MOF nanospheres provides additional affinity sites (guanidyl groups) for specific recognition of phosphopeptides by "salt bridge" interaction, as well as active site carboxyl groups for the coordination with the metal ions. The as-prepared Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8 exhibits large surface area (382.5 m2 g-1), good superparamagnetic property (41.6 emu g-1) and stability, and size-exclusion effect (1.73 nm), which can serve as a specific adsorbent for global phosphopeptide analysis with satisfactory selectivity, great detection sensitivity (1 fmol), and rapid magnetic separation. Moreover, the successful application of Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8 for selective capture of both multi- and mono-phosphopeptides from human saliva and serum demonstrated the great potential of magnetic surface-mounted MOF coatings in effective identification of low-abundance phosphopeptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry from complicated biological matrices.

Abstract
Multi-omics data sets are increasingly being used for the interpretation of cellular processes in response to environmental cues. Especially, the posttranslational modification of proteins by phosphorylation is an important regulatory process affecting protein activity and/or localization, which, in turn, can have effects on metabolic processes and metabolite levels. Despite this importance, relationships between protein phosphorylation status and metabolite abundance remain largely underexplored. Here, we used a phosphoproteomics-metabolomics data set collected at the end of day and night in shoots and roots of Arabidopsis to propose regulatory relationships between protein phosphorylation and accumulation or allocation of metabolites. For this purpose, we introduced a novel, robust co-expression measure suited to the structure of our data sets, and we used this measure to construct metabolite-phosphopeptide networks. These networks were compared between wild type and plants with perturbations in key processes of sugar metabolism, namely, sucrose export (sweet11/12 mutant) and starch synthesis (pgm mutant). The phosphopeptide-metabolite network turned out to be highly sensitive to perturbations in sugar metabolism. Specifically, KING1, the regulatory subunit of SnRK1, was identified as a primary candidate connecting protein phosphorylation status with metabolism. We additionally identified strong changes in the fatty acid network of the sweet11/12 mutant, potentially resulting from a combination of fatty acid signaling and metabolic overflow reactions in response to high internal sucrose concentrations. Our results further suggest novel protein-metabolite relationships as candidates for future targeted research.

Abstract
Public phosphorylation databases such as PhosphoSitePlus (PSP) and PeptideAtlas (PA) compile results from published papers or openly available mass spectrometry (MS) data. However, there is no database-level control for false discovery of sites, likely leading to the overestimation of true phosphosites. By profiling the human phosphoproteome, we estimate the false discovery rate (FDR) of phosphosites and predict a more realistic count of true identifications. We rank sites into phosphorylation likelihood sets and analyze them in terms of conservation across 100 species, sequence properties, and functional annotations. We demonstrate significant differences between the sets and develop a method for independent phosphosite FDR estimation. Remarkably, we report estimated FDRs of 84, 98, and 82% within sets of phosphoserine (pSer), phosphothreonine (pThr), and phosphotyrosine (pTyr) sites, respectively, that are supported by only a single piece of identification evidence─the majority of sites in PSP. We estimate that around 62 000 Ser, 8000 Thr, and 12 000 Tyr phosphosites in the human proteome are likely to be true, which is lower than most published estimates. Furthermore, our analysis estimates that 86 000 Ser, 50 000 Thr, and 26 000 Tyr phosphosites are likely false-positive identifications, highlighting the significant potential of false-positive data to be present in phosphorylation databases.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry can provide deep coverage of post-translational modifications (PTMs), although enrichment of these modifications from complex biological matrices is often necessary due to their low stoichiometry in comparison to non-modified analytes. Most enrichment workflows of PTMs on peptides in bottom-up proteomics workflows, where proteins are enzymatically digested before the resulting peptides are analyzed, only enrich one type of modification. It is the entire complement of PTMs, however, that leads to biological functions, and enrichment of a single type of PTM may miss such crosstalk of PTMs. PTM crosstalk has been observed between protein glycosylation and phosphorylation, the two most common PTMs in human proteins and also the two most studied PTMs using mass spectrometry workflows. Using the simultaneous enrichment strategy described herein, both PTMs are enriched from post-mortem human pancreatic tissue, a complex biological matrix. Dual-functional Ti(IV)-immobilized metal affinity chromatography is used to separate various forms of glycosylation and phosphorylation simultaneously in multiple fractions in a convenient spin tip-based method, allowing downstream analyses of potential PTM crosstalk interactions. This enrichment workflow for glyco- and phosphopeptides can be applied to various sample types to achieve deep profiling of multiple PTMs and identify potential target molecules for future studies.

Abstract
Smart responsive materials have attractive application prospects due to their tunable behaviors. In this work, we design novel spiropyran (SP)-based magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-SP) with dual response to ultraviolet light and pH and apply them to the enrichment of phosphopeptides. SP is modified on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles through a simple esterification reaction, based on which an MNP-SP-MS phosphopeptide identification platform is established. The capture and release of phosphopeptides are facilely adjusted by changing external light and the pH of the solution. The smart responsive MNP-SP has fast magnetic response performance, high sensitivity (detection limit of 0.4 fmol), and good reusability (6 cycles). In addition, MNP-SP is used for the enrichment of phosphopeptides in skimmed milk, human saliva, and human serum samples, indicating that it is an ideal adsorbent for enriching low-abundance phosphopeptides in complex biological environments.

Abstract
In this paper, we reviewed the role of dairy products in dietary zinc absorption. Dairy products can have a reasonable contribution for dietary zinc intake in Western diets, where dairy consumption is high. However, the co-ingestion of dairy products can also improve zinc absorption from other food products. Such improvements have been observed when dairy products (e.g., milk or yoghurt) were ingested together with food such as rice, tortillas or bread products, all of which are considered to be high-phytate foods with low inherent zinc absorption. For foods low in phytate, the co-ingestion of dairy products did not improve zinc absorption. Improved zinc absorption of zinc from high-phytate foods following co-ingestion with dairy products may be related to the beneficial effects of the citrate and phosphopeptides present in dairy products. Considering that the main dietary zinc sources in areas in the world where zinc deficiency is most prevalent are typically high in phytate, the inclusion of dairy products in meals may be a viable dietary strategy to improve zinc absorption.

Abstract
Highly efficient enrichment of phosphopeptides is of great significance for phosphoproteomics-related biological and pathological processes research, but it remains challenging due to the lack of affinity materials which hold high enrichment efficiency and capacity. Ti3C2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional material with outstanding physicochemical properties, has attracted wide research interests for application in various fields. However, there are few reports on the use of MXene-derived materials for phosphopeptides separation in the biomedical field. In this work, we proposed a facile one-pot method that in situ oxidation and modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene, to prepare two-dimensional (2D) magnetic Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites for potential application in phosphopeptides enrichment. Benefiting from the outstanding magnetic responsiveness and multiaffinity sites (Ti-O, Fe-O, and NH2 groups), the Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites possessed excellent enrichment performance with high sensitivity (0.1 fmol μL-1), excellent selectivity (β-casein: bovine serum albumin = 1:5000, molar ratio), good repeatability (5 times), and high enrichment capacity (200 mg g-1). Moreover, the results of selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from nonfat milk, human saliva, human serum, and rat brain lysates indicated the great potential of Fe3O4/TiO2@Ti3C2Tx composites in low-abundance phosphopeptides enrichment from complex biological samples. This work has put forward a versatile method to prepare magnetic MXene composites and promoted the use of MXene composites in phosphoproteome in biomedicine.

Abstract
Elevated immunity to cancer-expressed antigens can be detected in people with no history of cancer and may contribute to cancer prevention. We have previously reported that MHC-restricted phosphopeptides are cancer-expressed antigens and targets of immune recognition. However, the extent to which this immunity reflects prior or ongoing phosphopeptide exposures was not investigated. In this study, we found that preexisting immune memory to cancer-expressed phosphopeptides was evident in most healthy donors, but the breadth among donors was highly variable. Although three phosphopeptides were recognized by most donors, suggesting exposures to common microbial/infectious agents, most of the 205 tested phosphopeptides were not recognized by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from any donor and the remainder were recognized by only 1 to 3 donors. In longitudinal analyses of 2 donors, effector immune response profiles suggested active reexposures to a subset of phosphopeptides. These findings suggest that the immunogens generating most phosphopeptide-specific immune memory are rare infectious agents or incipient cancer cells with distinct phosphoproteome dysregulations, and that repetitive immunogenic exposures occur in individual donors. Phosphopeptide-specific immunity in PBMCs and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from ovarian cancer patients was limited, regardless of whether the phosphopeptide was expressed on the tumor. However, 4 of 10 patients responded to 1 to 2 immunodominant phosphopeptides, and 1 showed an elevated effector response to a tumor-expressed phosphopeptide. As the tumors from these patients displayed many phosphopeptides, these data are consistent with lack of prior exposure or impaired ability to respond to some phosphopeptides and suggest that enhancing phosphopeptide-specific T-cell responses could be a useful approach to improve tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Reversible protein glycosylation and phosphorylation tightly modulate important cellular processes and are closely involved in pathological processes in a crosstalk dependent manner. Because of their significance and low abundances of glyco- and phosphopeptides, several strategies have been developed to simultaneously enrich and co-elute glyco- and phosphopeptides. However, the co-existence of deglycosylated peptides and phosphopeptides aggravates the mass spectrometry analysis. Herein we developed a novel strategy to analyze glyco- and phosphopeptides based on simultaneous enrichment with TiO2, on-line deglycosylation and collection of deglycosylated peptides, and subsequent elution of phosphopeptides. To optimize on-line deglycosylation conditions, the solution pH, buffer types and concentrations, and deglycosylation time were investigated. The application of this novel strategy to 100 μg mouse brain resulted in 355 glycopeptides and 1,975 phosphopeptides, which were 2.5 and 1.4 folds of those enriched with the reported method. This study will expand the application of TiO2 and may shed light on simultaneously monitoring protein multiple post-translational modifications.

Abstract
We established a workflow for highly sensitive multiplexed quantitative phosphoproteomics using a nanoscale solid-phase tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling reactor. Phosphopeptides were first enriched by titanium oxide chromatography and then labeled with isobaric TMT reagents in a StageTip packed with hydrophobic polymer-based sorbents. We found that TMT-labeled singly phosphorylated peptides tend to flow through the titanium oxide column. Therefore, TMT labeling should be performed after the enrichment step from tryptic peptides, resulting in the need for microscale reactions with small amounts of phosphopeptides. Using an optimized protocol for tens to hundreds of nanograms of phosphopeptides, we obtained a nearly 10-fold increase in sensitivity compared to the conventional solution-based TMT protocol. We demonstrate that this nanoscale phosphoproteomics protocol works for 50 μg of HeLa proteins treated with selumetinib, and we successfully quantified the selumetinib-regulated phosphorylated sites on a proteome scale. The MS raw data files have been deposited with the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the jPOST partner repository (https://jpostdb.org) with the data set identifier PXD025536.

Abstract
The surface of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry target is modified for improved signal strength and detection of analytes. The developed method includes on-target enrichment and detection of phosphopeptides/phospholipids using graphene oxide-lanthanide metal oxides (samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium, and erbium) nanocomposites. Enriched phosphopeptides are detected using material enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and phospholipids by laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry. Nanocomposites are prepared using graphene oxide with respective metal salts at high pH. They are characterized for nano-morphology, chemistry, porosity, composition, crystallinity, and thermal stability. Phosphopeptides enrichment protocol is developed and optimized for tryptic β-casein digest and that of phospholipids by phosphatidylcholine standard. Statistical analyses of phosphopeptides and phospholipids from milk show overlapping results for gadolinium, dysprosium, and erbium oxide nanocomposites. GO-Gd2 O3 has better enrichment efficiency and application as LDI material. Selectivity for GO-Dy2 O3 is 1:2500, for GO-Sm2 O3 is 1:3500, and 1:4000 for GO-Gd2 O3 . GO-Er2 O3 has a sensitivity of 25 fmol, whereas the highest sensitivity is down to 0.5 fmol for GO-Gd2 O3 . On-target enrichment is batch to batch reproducible with a standard deviation of <1, reduced time of enrichment to 10 min, and ease of operation compared to solid-phase batch extraction. The developed method enriches serum phosphopeptides characteristic of cancer-related phosphoproteins.

Abstract
The insertion of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) between LC and MS can improve peptide identification in both proteomics and phosphoproteomics by providing structural information that is complementary to LC and MS, because IMS separates ions on the basis of differences in their shapes and charge states. However, it is necessary to know how phosphate groups affect the peptide collision cross sections (CCS) in order to accurately predict phosphopeptide CCS values and to maximize the usefulness of IMS. In this work, we systematically characterized the CCS values of 4,433 pairs of mono-phosphopeptide and corresponding unphosphorylated peptide ions using trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS). Nearly one-third of the mono-phosphopeptide ions evaluated here showed smaller CCS values than their unphosphorylated counterparts, even though phosphorylation results in a mass increase of 80 Da. Significant changes of CCS upon phosphorylation occurred mainly in structurally extended peptides with large numbers of basic groups, possibly reflecting intramolecular interactions between phosphate and basic groups.

Abstract
FAIMS interface is gaining popularity because of the impressive 100-fold signal to noise enhancement in addition to the recent coupling to the Orbitrap technology, the most important analyzer developed in the last 20 years. The selection of group of ions and effective removal of single-charged ones at particular compensation voltages increases around 50% the proteome coverage at expenses of lower peptides coverage. However, specific setting for phosphoproteome analysis is yet poorly described. Here we have found the maximum transmission for several tryptic phosphopeptides isolated from a single complex mixture and we have set an experimental method based on five compensation voltages partially different to the ones described previously, demonstrating the relevance of voltages higher than 47 V, with an increase of around 20% of unique phosphopeptides. Using this experimental setup two complex phosphoproteomes isolates (SH-SY5Y cell line and plasma) were analyzed and found increments of 50% on phosphopeptides identification with the proposed method with respect to a previous one, for the cell line extract. Meanwhile for plasma 109 of the detected phosphopeptides are found for first time in this body fluid, presumably due to the release of intracellular proteins. With this FAIMS setup, 60% of the proteins identified are classified as very low abundant proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oesophgeal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is the most frequent cause of cancer death. POLO-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is overexpressed in broad spectrum of tumors and has prognostic value in many cancers including esophageal cancer, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. p53, the guardian of genome is the most important tumor suppressors that represses the promoter of PLK1, whereas tumor cells with inactive p53 are arrested in mitosis due to DNA damage. PLK1 expression has been linked to the elevated p53 expression and has been shown to act as a biomarker that predicts poor prognosis in OAC. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was identification of PLK1 associated phosphorylation targets in p53 mutant and p53 normal cells to explore the downstream signaling evets. METHODS Here we develop a proof-of-concept phospho-proteomics approach to identify possible biomarkers that can be used to identify mutant p53 or wild-type p53 pathways. We treated PLK1 asynchronously followed by mass spectrometry data analysis. Protein networking and motif analysis tools were used to identify the significant clusters and potential biomarkers. RESULTS We investigated approximately 1300 potential PLK1-dependent phosphopeptides by LCMS/ MS. In total, 2216 and 1155 high confidence phosphosites were identified in CP-A (p53+) and OE33 (p53-) cell lines owing to PLK1 inhibition. Further clustering and motif assessment uncovered many significant biomarkers with known and novel link to PLK1. CONCLUSION Taken together, our study suggests that PLK1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target in human OAC. The data highlight the efficacy and specificity of small molecule PLK1 kinase inhibitors to identify novel signaling pathways in vivo.

Abstract
Comprehensive mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis is currently available but remains challenging, especially for post-translational modifications of phosphorylated proteins. Herein, multifunctional magnetic pillar[5]arene supramolecular organic frameworks were fabricated and immobilized with arginine (mP5SOF-Arg) for highly effective enrichment of global phosphopeptides. The specific phosphate-P5/phosphate-guanidine affinities and large surface area with regular porosity contribute to the high enrichment capacity. By coupling with mass spectrometry, high detection sensitivity (0.1 fmol), excellent selectivity (1:5000 molar ratios of β-casein/cytochrome c), and high recyclability (seven cycles) were achieved for phosphopeptide analysis. mP5SOF-Arg can efficiently enrich phosphopeptides from practical samples, including defatted milk, egg yolk, and human saliva. Notably, a total of 450 phosphopeptides were explored for highly selective identification from A594 cells and 1445 phosphopeptides were identified from mouse liver tissue samples. mP5SOF-Arg exhibited great potential to serve as the basis for peptidomic research to identify phosphopeptides and provided insight for biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Phosphorylated proteins from food sources have been investigated as regulators of bone formation with potential benefits in treating osteoporosis. Egg, a cheap and nutritious food, is also the source of various proteins and bioactive peptides with applications in human health. Egg yolk is rich in phosvitin, the most phosphorylated protein in nature. Phosvitin has been shown to improve bone health in experimental animals, although the molecular mechanisms and its specific effects on bone-forming osteoblastic cells are incompletely understood. Previous work in our group has identified pancreatin-generated phosvitin phospho-peptides (PPP) as a potential source for bioactive peptides. Given this background, we examined the roles of both phosvitin and PPP in the function of osteoblastic cells. Our results demonstrated their potential to improve bone health by promoting osteoblast differentiation and proliferation, suppressing osteoclast recruitment and the deposition of extracellular matrix, although PPP appeared to demonstrate superior osteogenic functions compared to phosvitin alone.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful and sensitive method often used for the identification of phosphoproteins. However, in phosphoproteomics, there is an identified need to compensate for the low abundance, insufficient ionization, and suppression effects of non-phosphorylated peptides. These may hamper the subsequent liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis, resulting in incomplete phosphoproteome characterization, even when using high-resolution instruments. To overcome these drawbacks, we present here an effective microgradient chromatographic technique that yields specific fractions of enriched phosphopeptides compatible with LC–MS/MS analysis. The purpose of our study was to increase the number of identified phosphopeptides, and thus, the coverage of the sample phosphoproteome using the reproducible and straightforward fractionation method. This protocol includes a phosphopeptide enrichment step followed by the optimized microgradient fractionation of enriched phosphopeptides and final LC–MS/MS analysis of the obtained fractions. The simple fractionation system consists of a gas-tight microsyringe delivering the optimized gradient mobile phase to reversed-phase microcolumn. Our data indicate that combining the phosphopeptide enrichment with the microgradient separation is a promising technique for in-depth phosphoproteomic analysis due to moderate input material requirements and more than 3-fold enhanced protein identification.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important and prevalent post-translational modifications. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a powerful tool for the analysis of phosphopeptides. However, the low dynamic stoichiometry, poor ionization efficiency, and signal suppression by high-abundance non-phosphorylated peptides have hindered the direct applications in the analysis of phosphopeptides. Therefore, the development of highly selective and sensitive enrichment strategies is necessary for the identification of phosphopeptides prior to MS analysis. Magnetic nanomaterials have good magnetic responsiveness and can be separated rapidly from the solution with the help of external magnets. Functionalized magnetic nanomaterials have been widely used as a new analytical tool in proteomics research. This review surveys recently reported functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for the enrichment of phosphopeptides reported in recent years. Further trends in the enrichment of phosphopeptides with functionalized magnetic materials are also prospected.

Abstract
The effect of high-temperature and mild-pressure (HTMP) pretreatment on the enzymatic hydrolysis of phosvitin and the structural characteristics of the phosphopeptides produced were analyzed using tandem mass spectrometry. The HTMP pretreatment hydrolyzed phosvitin at random sites and helped the subsequent enzyme hydrolysis of the peptides produced. With the HTMP pretreatment alone, 154 peptides were produced, while the use of trypsin, Protex 6L, and Multifect 14L in combination with the pretreatment produced 252, 280, and 164 peptides, respectively. The use of two enzyme combinations (trypsin + Protex 6L and trypsin + Multifect 14L) helped the hydrolysis further. The number of phosphopeptides produced increased when the modifications within the same amino acid sequences were considered. This study indicated that HTMP pretreatment was a breakthrough method to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of phosvitin that enabled an easy production of phosvitin phosphopeptides for their subsequent functional characterizations.

Abstract
Peptide cleanup is essential for the removal of contaminating substances that may be introduced during sample preparation steps in bottom-up proteomic workflows. Recent studies have described benefits of carboxylate-modified paramagnetic particles over traditional reversed-phase methods for detergent and polymer removal, but challenges with reproducibility have limited the widespread implementation of this approach among laboratories. To overcome these challenges, the current study systematically evaluated key experimental parameters regarding the use of carboxylate-modified paramagnetic particles and determined those that are critical for maximum performance and peptide recovery and those for which the protocol is tolerant to deviation. These results supported the development of a detailed, easy-to-use standard operating protocol, termed SP2, which can be applied to remove detergents and polymers from peptide samples while concentrating the sample in solvent that is directly compatible with typical LC-MS workflows. We demonstrate that SP2 can be applied to phosphopeptides and glycopeptides and that the approach is compatible with robotic liquid handling for automated sample processing. Altogether, the results of this study and accompanying detailed operating protocols for both manual and automated processing are expected to facilitate reproducible implementation of SP2 for various proteomics applications and will especially benefit core or shared resource facilities where unknown or unexpected contaminants may be particularly problematic.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is an essential post-translational modification for regulating protein function and cellular signal transduction. Mass spectrometry (MS) combined with isobaric tandem mass tags (TMTs) has become a powerful platform for simultaneous, large-scale phospho-proteome site identification and quantitation. To improve the accuracy of isobaric tag-based quantitation in complex proteomic samples, MS3-based acquisition methods such as Synchronous Precursor Selection (SPS) have been used. However, the method suffers from lower peptide identification rates when applied to enriched phosphopeptide samples compared with unmodified samples due to differences in phosphopeptide fragmentation patterns during tandem MS. We developed and optimized two new acquisition methods for analysis of TMT-labeled multiplexed phosphoproteome samples, which resulted in more phosphopeptide identifications with less ratio distortion when compared with previous methods. We also applied these improved methods to a large-scale study of phosphorylation levels in A549 cell lines treated with insulin or insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Overall, 3378 protein groups and 12 465 phosphopeptides were identified, of which 10 436 were quantified across 10 samples without prefractionation. The accurate measurement enabled us to map to numerous signaling pathways including mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB), and insulin signaling pathways.

Abstract
Linear (HR)n and cyclic [HR]n peptides (n = 4,5) containing alternate arginine and histidine residues were synthesized. The peptides showed 0–15% cytotoxicity at 5–100 µM in human ovarian adenocarcinoma (SK-OV-3) cells while they exhibited 0–12% toxicity in human leukemia cancer cell line (CCRF-CEM). Among all peptides, cyclic [HR]4 peptide was able to improve the delivery of a cell impermeable fluorescence-labeled phosphopeptide by two-fold. Fatty acids of different alkyl chain length were attached at the N-terminal of the linear peptide (HR)4 to improve the molecular transporter property. Addition of fatty acyl chains was expected to help with the permeation of the peptides through the cell membrane. Thus, we synthesized seven fatty acyl derivatives of the linear (HR)4 peptide. The peptides were synthesized using Fmoc/tBu solid phase peptide chemistry, purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectrometry. The fatty acyl peptides containing C8, C12, C14, and C18 alkyl chain did not show cytotoxicity on SK-OV-3 or CCRF-CEM cell lines up to 50 µM concentration; however, at higher concentration (100 µM), they showed mild cytotoxicity. For example, C16-(HR)4 was also found to reduce the proliferation of SK-OV-3 cells by 11% at 50 µM and C20-(HR)4 showed mild toxicity at 10 µM, reducing the proliferation of SK-OV-3 cells by 21%. Increase in the length of alkyl chain showed cytotoxicity to the cell lines. C20-(HR)4 peptide showed better efficiency in translocation of F′-GpYEEI to SK-OV-3 than the phosphopeptide alone. Further investigation of C20-(HR)4 peptide efficacy showed that the peptide could deliver doxorubicin and epirubicin into SK-OV-3 and also improved the drug antiproliferative ability. These studies provided insights into understanding the structural requirements for optimal cellular delivery of the fatty acyl-(HR)4 peptide conjugates.

Abstract
We have previously evaluated and reported numerous classes of linear and cyclic peptides containing hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments for intracellular delivery of multiple molecular cargos. Herein, a combination of histidine and tryptophan amino acids were designed and evaluated for their efficiency in intracellular delivery of cell-impermeable phosphopeptides and the anti-HIV drug, emtricitabine. Two new decapeptides, with linear and cyclic natures, both containing alternate tryptophan and histidine residues, were synthesized using Fmoc/tBu solid-phase chemistry. The peptides were characterized and purified by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. These peptides did not show significant toxicity up to 100 µM in ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3) and leukemia cancer (CCRF-CEM) cells. Furthermore, the cellular uptake of a fluorescence (F’)-labeled cell-impermeable phosphopeptide (F’-GpYEEI) was enhanced in the presence of linear (WH)5 and cyclic [WH]5 by 2- and 8-fold, respectively, compared to the uptake of the phosphopeptide alone. The cellular uptake was not significantly changed in the presence of endocytosis inhibitors. Furthermore, the intracellular uptake of the fluorescently-labeled anti-HIV drug, emtricitabine (F’-FTC), by linear (WH)5 and cyclic [WH]5 in SK-OV-3 cancer cell lines was found to be enhanced by 3.5- and 9-fold, respectively, compared to that of the drug alone. Fluorescent uptake experiments confirmed the localization of F’-GpYEEI-loaded cyclic [WH]5 intracellularly in the SK-OV-3 cancer cell line after 3 h of incubation. Thus, these data demonstrated that [WH]5 containing tryptophan and histidine enhanced the cellular uptake of F’-GpYEEI and emtricitabine.

Abstract
In this study, we present a method to specifically capture phosphotyrosine (pTyr) peptides from minute amount of sample for the sensitive analysis of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We immobilized SH2 superbinder on a monolithic capillary column to construct a microreactor to enrich pTyr peptides. It was found that the synthetic pTyr peptide could be specifically enriched by the microreactor from the peptide mixture prepared by spiking of the synthetic pTyr peptide into the tryptic digests of α-casein and β-casein with molar ratios of 1:1000:1000. The microreactor was further applied to enrich pTyr peptides from pervanadate-treated HeLa cell digests for phosphoproteomics analysis, which resulted in the identification of 796 unique pTyr sites. In contrast, the conventional SH2 superbinder-based method identified 41 pTyr sites for the same sample, only 5.2% of the number achieved by the microreactor. Finally, this microreactor was also applied to analyze the pTyr in Shc1 complex, an immunopurified protein complex, which resulted in the identification of 15 pTyr sites. Together, this technique is best fitted to analyze the pTyr in minute amount of sample and will have broad application in fields where only a limited amount of sample is available.

Abstract
We created different TiO2-based coatings on silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by using either thermal metallization or atomic layer deposition (ALD). The fabricated surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and reflectivity measurements. Surfaces with different TiO2 based coating thicknesses were then used for phosphopeptide enrichment and subsequent detection by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). Results showed that the best enrichment and LDI-MS detection were obtained using the silicon nanowires covered with 10 nm of oxidized Ti deposited by means of thermal evaporation. This sample was also able to perform phosphopeptide enrichment and MS detection from serum.

Abstract
The uranyl ion (UO22+) binds phosphopeptides with high affinity, and when irradiated with UV‐light, it can cleave the peptide backbone. In this study, high‐accuracy tandem mass spectrometry and enzymatic assays were used to characterise the photocleavage products resulting from the uranyl photocleavage reaction of a tetraphosphorylated β‐casein model peptide. We show that the primary photocleavage products of the uranyl‐catalysed reaction are C‐terminally amidated. This could be of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry, as efficient peptide amidation reactions are one of the top challenges in green pharmaceutical chemistry.

Abstract
By interacting with hundreds of protein partners, 14-3-3 proteins coordinate vital cellular processes. Phosphorylation of the small heat shock protein, HSPB6, within its intrinsically disordered N-terminal domain activates its interaction with 14-3-3, ultimately triggering smooth muscle relaxation. After analyzing the binding of an HSPB6-derived phosphopeptide to 14-3-3 using isothermal calorimetry and X-ray crystallography, we have determined the crystal structure of the complete assembly consisting of the 14-3-3 dimer and full-length HSPB6 dimer and further characterized this complex in solution using fluorescence spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and limited proteolysis. We show that selected intrinsically disordered regions of HSPB6 are transformed into well-defined conformations upon the interaction, whereby an unexpectedly asymmetric structure is formed. This structure provides the first atomic resolution snapshot of a human small HSP in functional state, explains how 14-3-3 proteins sequester their regulatory partners, and can inform the design of small-molecule interaction modifiers to be used as myorelaxants.

Abstract
A novel multifunctional composite comprising mesocrystalline SnO2 nanorods (NRs) vertically aligned on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets was synthesized and developed for sequential capture of endogenous peptides and phosphopeptides. With the hydrophobicity of rGO and high affinity of SnO2 nanorods, sequential enrichment of endogenous peptides and phosphopeptides could be easily achieved through a modulation of elution buffer. With this multifunctional nanomaterial, 36 peptides were observed from diluted bovine serum albumin (BSA) tryptic digest and 4 phosphopeptides could be selectively captured from β-casein digest. The detection limit of tryptic digest of β-casein was low to 4 × 10-10 M, and the selectivity was up to 1:500 (molar ratio of β-casein and BSA digest). The effectiveness and robustness of rGO-SnO2 NRs in a complex biological system was also confirmed by using human serum as a real sample. Our work is promising for small peptide enrichment and identification especially in complicated biological sample preparation, which also opens a new perspective in the design of multifunctional affinity probes for proteome or peptidome.

Abstract
We have applied liquid chromatography high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry tandem mass spectrometry (LC-FAIMS-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to the investigation of site-specific phosphorylation in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. We have combined a SILAC approach with chemical inhibition by SU5402 (an FGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and dasatinib (a Src family kinase inhibitor). The results show that incorporation of FAIMS within the workflow results in (a) an increase in the relative proportion of phosphothreonine and phosphotyrosine sites identified, (b) an increase in phosphopeptide identifications from precursors with charge states ≥ +3 (with an associated increase in peptide length), and (c) an increase in the identification of multiply phosphorylated peptides. Approximately 20% of the phosphorylation sites identified via the FAIMS workflow had not been reported previously, and over 80% of those were from multiply phosphorylated peptides. Moreover, FAIMS provided access to a distinct set of phosphorylation sites regulated in response to SU5402 and dasatinib. The enhanced identification of multiply phosphorylated peptides was particularly striking in the case of sites regulated by SU5402. In addition to providing a compelling example of the complementarity of FAIMS in phosphoproteomics, the results provide a valuable resource of phosphorylation sites for further investigation of FGF signaling and trafficking.

Abstract
Phosphopeptide enrichment from complicated peptide mixtures is an essential step for mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic studies to reduce sample complexity and ionization suppression effects. Typical methods for enriching phosphopeptides include immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) or titanium dioxide (TiO2) beads, which have selective affinity and can interact with phosphopeptides. In this study, the IMAC enrichment method was compared with the TiO2 enrichment method, using a multistep enrichment strategy from whole cell lysate, to evaluate their abilities to enrich for different types of phosphopeptides. The peptide-to-beads ratios were optimized for both IMAC and TiO2 beads. Both IMAC and TiO2 enrichments were performed for three rounds to enable the maximum extraction of phosphopeptides from the whole cell lysates. The phosphopeptides that are unique to IMAC enrichment, unique to TiO2 enrichment, and identified with both IMAC and TiO2 enrichment were analyzed for their characteristics. Both IMAC and TiO2 enriched similar amounts of phosphopeptides with comparable enrichment efficiency. However, phosphopeptides that are unique to IMAC enrichment showed a higher percentage of multiphosphopeptides as well as a higher percentage of longer, basic, and hydrophilic phosphopeptides. Also, the IMAC and TiO2 procedures clearly enriched phosphopeptides with different motifs. Finally, further enriching with two rounds of TiO2 from the supernatant after IMAC enrichment or further enriching with two rounds of IMAC from the supernatant TiO2 enrichment does not fully recover the phosphopeptides that are not identified with the corresponding multistep enrichment.

Abstract
Electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry offers several advantages for the analysis of peptides, most notably that backbone c and z fragments typically retain labile modifications such as phosphorylation. We have shown previously that, in some cases, the presence of phosphorylation has a deleterious effect on peptide sequence coverage, and hypothesized that intramolecular interactions involving the phosphate group were preventing separation of backbone fragments. In the present work, we seek to rationalize the observed ECD behavior through a combination of ECD of model peptides, traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations. The results suggest that for doubly protonated ions of phosphopeptide APLpSFRGSLPKSYVK a salt-bridge structure is favored, whereas for the doubly-protonated ions of APLSFRGSLPKpSYVK ionic hydrogen bonds predominate.

Abstract
We report an MS-based workflow for identification of phosphorylated peptides from trypsinized protein mixtures and cell lysates that is suitable for high-throughput sample analysis. The workflow is based on an in situ enrichment on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) plates that were functionalized by TiO2 using automated ion landing apparatus that can operate unsupervised. The MALDI plate can be functionalized by TiO2 into any array of predefined geometry (here, 96 positions for samples and 24 for mass calibration standards) made compatible with a standard MALDI spotter and coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. The in situ MALDI plate enrichment was compared with a standard precolumn-based separation and achieved comparable or better results than the standard method. The performance of this new workflow was demonstrated on a model mixture of proteins as well as on Jurkat cells lysates. The method showed improved signal-to-noise ratio in a single MS spectrum, which resulted in better identification by MS/MS and a subsequent database search. Using the workflow, we also found specific phosphorylations in Jurkat cells that were nonspecifically activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These phosphorylations concerned the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathway and its targets and were in agreement with the current knowledge of this signaling cascade. Control sample of non-activated cells was devoid of these phosphorylations. Overall, the presented analytical workflow is able to detect dynamic phosphorylation events in minimally processed mammalian cells while using only a short high-performance liquid chromatography gradient.

Abstract
Binding of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) polo-box domains (PBDs) to phosphothreonine (pThr)/phosphoserine (pSer)-containing sequences is critical for the proper function of Plk1. Although high-affinity synthetic pThr-containing peptides provide starting points for developing PBD-directed inhibitors, to date the efficacy of such peptides in whole cell assays has been poor. This potentially reflects limited cell membrane permeability arising, in part, from the di-anionic nature of the phosphoryl group or its mimetics. In our current article we report the unanticipated on-resin N(τ)-alkylation of histidine residues already bearing a N(π)- alkyl group. This resulted in cationic imidazolium-containing pThr peptides, several of which exhibit single-digit nanomolar PBD-binding affinities in extracellular assays and improved antimitotic efficacies in intact cells. We enhanced the cellular efficacies of these peptides further by applying bio-reversible pivaloyloxymethyl (POM) phosphoryl protection. New structural insights presented in our current study, including the potential utility of intramolecular charge masking, may be useful for the further development of PBD-binding peptides and peptide mimetics.

Abstract
Functional ablation of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) (Alpl⁻/⁻ mice) leads to hypophosphatasia, characterized by rickets/osteomalacia attributable to elevated levels of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate, a potent mineralization inhibitor. Osteopontin (OPN) is also elevated in the plasma and skeleton of Alpl⁻/⁻ mice. Phosphorylated OPN is known to inhibit mineralization, however, the phosphorylation status of the increased OPN found in Alpl⁻/⁻ mice is unknown. Here, we generated a transgenic mouse line expressing human TNAP under control of an osteoblast-specific Col1a1 promoter (Col1a1-Tnap). The transgene is expressed in osteoblasts, periosteum, and cortical bones, and plasma levels of TNAP in mice expressing Col1a1-Tnap are 10 to 20 times higher than those of wild-type mice. The Col1a1-Tnap animals are healthy and exhibit increased bone mineralization by micro-computed tomography (µCT) analysis. Crossbreeding of Col1a1-Tnap transgenic mice to Alpl⁻/⁻ mice rescues the lethal hypophosphatasia phenotype characteristic of this disease model. Osteoblasts from [Col1a1-Tnap] mice mineralize better than nontransgenic controls and osteoblasts from [Col1a1-Tnap⁺/⁻; Alpl⁻/⁻] mice are able to mineralize to the level of Alpl⁺/⁻ heterozygous osteoblasts, whereas Alpl⁻/⁻ osteoblasts show no mineralization. We found that the increased levels of OPN in bone tissue of Alpl⁻/⁻ mice are comprised of phosphorylated forms of OPN whereas wild-type (WT) and [Col1a1-Tnap⁺/⁻; Alpl⁻/⁻] mice had both phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of OPN. OPN from [Col1a1-Tnap] osteoblasts were more dephosphorylated than nontransgenic control cells. Titanium dioxide-liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed that OPN peptides derived from Alpl⁻/⁻ bone and osteoblasts yielded a higher proportion of phosphorylated peptides than samples from WT mice, and at least two phosphopeptides, p(S¹⁷⁴FQVS¹⁷⁸DEQY¹⁸²PDAT¹⁸⁶DEDLT¹⁹¹)SHMK and FRIp(S²⁹⁹HELES³⁰⁴S³⁰⁵S³⁰⁶S³⁰⁷)EVN, with one nonlocalized site each, appear to be preferred sites of TNAP action on OPN. Our data suggest that the promineralization role of TNAP may be related not only to its accepted pyrophosphatase activity but also to its ability to modify the phosphorylation status of OPN.

Abstract
Novel core-shell structured Fe3O4@LnPO4 (Ln=Eu, Tb, Er) multifunctional microspheres with a magnetic Fe3O4 core and a LnPO4 shell covered with spikes are synthesized for the first time through the combination of a homogeneous precipitation approach and an ion-exchange process. Their potential for selective capture, rapid separation, and easy mass spectrometry (MS) labeling of the phosphopeptides from complex proteolytic digests are evaluated. These affinity microspheres can improve the specificity for capture of the phosphopeptides, realize fast magnetic separation, enhance the MS detection signals, and directly identify phosphopeptides through 80 Da mass loss in the mass spectra. The synthesis strategy could become a general and effective technique for similar core-shell hierarchical structures.

Abstract
Despite the importance of post-translational modifications in controlling the solubility and conformational properties of proteins and peptides, precisely how the aggregation propensity of different peptide sequences is modulated by chemical modification remains unclear. Here we have investigated the effect of phosphorylation on the aggregation propensity of a 13-residue synthetic peptide incorporating one or more phosphate groups at seven different sites at various pH values. Fibril formation was shown to be inhibited when a single phosphate group was introduced at all seven locations in the peptide sequence at pH 7.5, when the phosphate group is fully charged. By contrast, when the same peptides were analysed at pH 1.1, when the phosphate is fully protonated, fibrils from all seven peptide sequences form rapidly. At intermediate pH values (pH 3.6) when the phosphate group is mono-anionic, the aggregation propensity of the peptides was found to be highly dependent on the position of the phosphate group in the peptide sequence. Using this information, combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the peptide sequence, we provide evidence consistent with the peptide forming amyloid fibrils with a class 7 architecture. The results highlight the potential utility of phosphorylation as a method of reversibly controlling the aggregation kinetics of peptide sequences both during and after synthesis. Moreover, by exploiting the ability of the phosphate group to adopt different charge states as a function of pH, and combining experimental insights with atomistic information calculated from MD simulations as pH is varied, we show how the resulting information can be used to predict fibril structures consistent with both datasets, and use these to rationalise their sensitivity of fibrillation kinetics both to the location of the phosphate group and its charge state.

Abstract
Protein kinases constitute a large enzyme family with key roles in cellular signal transduction. One way to elucidate the functions of protein kinases is to systematically identify their downstream targets. We present here a simple and effective method to identify direct protein kinase substrates in native cell lysates. First, we isolate the activity of the kinase of interest by engineering the normal kinase to utilize bulky ATP analogs that cannot be used by normal cellular kinases. This allows specific labeling of substrates with thiophosphate tags by performing kinase reactions in cell lysates that also include bulky ATP-γ-S analogs. After digesting the proteins in the reaction mixture, thiophosphopeptides are isolated using a single-step capture-and-release protocol and identified by mass spectrometry. This technique is easy to use and generally applicable.

Abstract
Metal affinity capture tandem mass spectrometry (MAC-MSMS) is evaluated in a comparative study of a lysine-derived nitrilotriacetic acid (N(alpha), N(alpha)-bis-(carboxymethyl)lysine, LysNTA) and an aspartic-acid-related iminodiacetic acid (N-(4-aminobutyl)aspartic acid, AspIDA) as selective phosphopeptide detection reagents. Both LysNTA and AspIDA spontaneously form ternary complexes with Ga(III) and phosphorylated amino acids and phosphopeptides upon mixing in solution. Collision-induced dissociation of positive complex ions produced by electrospray produces common fragments (LysNTA + H)(+) or (AspIDA + H)(+) at m/z 263 and 205, respectively. MSMS precursor scans using these fragments as reporter ions allow one to selectively detect multiple charge states of phosphopeptides in mixtures. It follows from this comparative study that LysNTA is superior to AspIDA in detecting phosphopeptides, possibly because of the higher coordination number and greater stability constant for Ga(III)-phosphopeptide complexation of the former reagent. In a continuing development of MAC-MSMS for proteomics applications, we demonstrate its utility in a post-column reaction format. Using a simple post-column-reaction 'T' and syringe pump to deliver our chelating reagents, alpha-casein tryptic phosphopeptides can be selectively analyzed from a solution containing a twofold molar excess of bovine serum albumin. The MAC-MSMS method is shown to be superior to the commonly used neutral loss scan for the common loss of phosphoric acid.

Abstract
Phosphopeptides with one and four phosphate groups were characterized by MALDI mass spectrometry. The molecular ion of monophosphopeptide could be detected both as positive and negative ions by MALDI TOF with delayed extraction (DE) and in the reflector mode. The tetraphospho peptide could be detected in linear mode. When MS/MS spectra of the monophospho peptides were obtained in a MALDI TOF TOF instrument by CID, b and y ions with the intact phosphate group were observed, in addition the b and y ions without the phosphate group. Our study indicates that it is possible to detect phosphorylated peptides with out the loss of phosphate group by MALDI TOF as well as MALDI TOF TOF instruments with delayed extraction and in the reflector mode.

Abstract
The activity of many transcriptional regulators is significantly altered by posttranslational modifications of specific sites. For example, the activity of the muscle-restricted transcription factor family myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) is tightly controlled by phosphorylation. This modification is responsible for either an increase or a decrease in transcriptional activity, depending on the specific amino acid residues that are phosphorylated by signal-dependent kinases. Although mass spectrometry-based methods, such as precursor ion and neutral loss scans, are extremely useful for identifying unknown phosphopeptides from a complex mixture, they do not take advantage of any prior knowledge about the protein being investigated. Quite often a significant amount of information is available. This may include the primary sequence, type of phosphorylation (serine/threonine vs. tyrosine), or predicted phosphoacceptor sites (consensus peptide that is targeted by a kinase). This information can be used to predict precursor and fragment ion m/z values for a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) experiment. By using these highly sensitive MRM experiments to trigger dependent product ion scans on a hybrid quadrupole linear ion-trap instrument, we were able to identify low levels of phosphorylation of MEF2A (a member of the MEF2 family), and alpha-casein. This method of monitoring protein phosphorylation at specific phosphoacceptor sites may prove useful in understanding the physiological regulation of protein function.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of peptide antigens has been shown to alter the ability of T cells to recognize major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted peptides. However, the existence and origin of naturally processed phosphorylated peptides presented by MHC class I molecules have not been explored. By using mass spectrometry, significant numbers of naturally processed phosphorylated peptides were detected in association with several human MHC class I molecules. In addition, CD8(+) T cells could be generated that specifically recognized a phosphorylated epitope. Thus, phosphorylated peptides are part of the repertoire of antigens available for recognition by T cells in vivo.
