Project description:Seventy years following the discovery of peroxisomes, their complete proteome, the peroxi-ome, remains undefined. Uncovering the peroxi-ome is crucial for understanding peroxisomal activities and cellular metabolism. We used high-content microscopy to uncover peroxisomal proteins in the model eukaryote - Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This strategy enabled us to expand the known peroxi-ome by ~40% and paved the way for performing systematic, whole-organellar proteome assays. By characterizing the sub-organellar localization and protein targeting dependencies into the organelle, we unveiled non-canonical targeting routes. Metabolomic analysis of the peroxi-ome revealed the role of several newly-identified resident enzymes. Importantly, we found a regulatory role of peroxisomes during gluconeogenesis, which is fundamental for understanding cellular metabolism. With the current recognition that peroxisomes play a crucial part in organismal physiology, our approach lays the foundation for deep characterization of peroxisome function in health and disease.

Project description:The lysine crotonylation of histone proteins is a newly identified posttranslational modification with diversified cellular functions. However, there are few reports on lysine crotonylation of non-histone proteins in medicinal plant cells. By using high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) coupled with highly sensitive-specific immune-affinity antibody analysis, a whole crotonylation proteome analysis of Dendrobium huoshanense was performed. In total, 1,591 proteins with 4,726 lysine crotonylation sites were identified; among them, 11 conserved motifs were identified. Bioinformatic analyses linked crotonylated proteins to the drought stress response and multiple metabolic pathways, including secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism, energy production and conversion, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, translation, and ribosomal structure and biogenesis. This study contributes toward understanding the regulatory mechanism of polysaccharide biosynthesis at the crotonylation level even under abiotic stress.

Project description:While genetic traits and epigenetic modifications mainly encode cell type-specific effector functions, the eventual outcome is also prone to modulation by post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms. T cells are a powerful model for the investigation of such modulatory effects, as common precursor cells may differentiate either to helper CD4+ T cells or cytotoxic CD8+ cells, which elicit distinct functionalities upon TCR-stimulation. Human primary CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were purified from three individual donors and activated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. Associated proteome alterations were analyzed by high-resolution mass spectrometry using a label-free shotgun approach. Metabolic activation was indicated by upregulation of enzymes related to glycolysis, NADH production, fatty acid synthesis, and uptake as well as amino acid and iron uptake. Besides various inflammatory effector molecules, the mitochondrial proteins CLUH, TFAM, and TOMM34 were found specifically induced in CD4+ T cells. Investigation of overrepresented conserved transcription binding sites by the oPOSSUM software suggested interferon type I inducer IRF1 to cause many of the observed proteome alterations in CD4+ T cells. RT qPCR demonstrated the specific induction of IRF1 in CD4+ T cells only. While the interferon regulatory factor IRF4 was found induced in both T cell subtypes at protein and mRNA level, IRF9 and the type I interferon-induced proteins IFIT1, IFIT3, and MX1 were only found induced in CD4+ T cells. As oxidative stress enhances mitochondrial DNA-dependent type I interferon responses, the present data suggested that mitochondrial activities regulate those cell type-specific signaling pathways. Indeed, we detected mitochondrial superoxide formation predominantly in CD4+ T cells via FACS analysis with MitoSOX™ and confirmed this observation by live cell imaging with confocal microscopy. As interferon signaling regulates important features such as resistance regarding immune checkpoint blockade therapy, the present data may identify potential new targets for the efficient control of highly relevant immune cell properties.

Project description:In-depth understanding of the changing functions of human milk (HM) proteins and the corresponding physiological adaptions of the lactating mammary gland has been inhibited by incomplete knowledge of the HM proteome. We analyzed the HM whey proteome (n = 10 women with samples at 1 week and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months) using a quantitative proteomic approach. One thousand three hundred and thirty three proteins were identified with 615 being quantified. Principal component analysis revealed a transition in the HM whey proteome-throughout the first year of lactation. Abundance changes in IgG, sIgA and sIgM display distinct features during the first year. Complement components and other acute-phase proteins are generally at higher levels in early lactation. Proteomic analysis further suggests that the sources of milk fatty acids (FA) shift from more direct blood influx to more de novo mammary synthesis over lactation. The abundances of the majority of glycoproteins decline over lactation, which is consistent with increased enzyme expression in glycoprotein degradation and decreased enzyme expression in glycoprotein synthesis. Cellular detoxification machinery may be transformed as well, thereby accommodating increased metabolic activities in late lactation. The multiple developing functions of HM proteins and the corresponding mammary adaption become more apparent from this study.

Project description:BackgroundOverall gastric cancer survival remains poor mainly because there are no reliable methods for identifying highly curable early stage disease. Multi-protein profiling of gastric fluids, obtained from the anatomic site of pathology, could reveal diagnostic proteomic fingerprints.MethodsProtein profiles were generated from gastric fluid samples of 19 gastric cancer and 36 benign gastritides patients undergoing elective, clinically-indicated gastroscopy using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry on multiple ProteinChip arrays. Proteomic features were compared by significance analysis of microarray algorithm and two-way hierarchical clustering. A second blinded sample set (24 gastric cancers and 29 clinically benign gastritides) was used for validation.ResultsBy significance analysyis of microarray, 60 proteomic features were up-regulated and 46 were down-regulated in gastric cancer samples (p < 0.01). Multimarker clustering showed two distinctive proteomic profiles independent of age and ethnicity. Eighteen of 19 cancer samples clustered together (sensitivity 95%) while 27/36 of non-cancer samples clustered in a second group. Nine non-cancer samples that clustered with cancer samples included 5 pre-malignant lesions (1 adenomatous polyp and 4 intestinal metaplasia). Validation using a second sample set showed the sensitivity and specificity to be 88% and 93%, respectively. Positive predictive value of the combined data was 0.80. Selected peptide sequencing identified pepsinogen C and pepsin A activation peptide as significantly down-regulated and alpha-defensin as significantly up-regulated.ConclusionThis simple and reproducible multimarker proteomic assay could supplement clinical gastroscopic evaluation of symptomatic patients to enhance diagnostic accuracy for gastric cancer and pre-malignant lesions.

Project description:Porcine sapelovirus A (PSV) is a single stranded, positive-sense, non-enveloped RNA virus that causes enteritis, pneumonia, polioencephalomyelitis, and reproductive disorders in pigs. Research on PSV infection and interaction with host cells is unclear. In this study, we applied tandem mass tag proteomics analysis to investigate the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in PSV-infected pig kidney (PK)-15 cells and explored the interactions between PSV and host cells. Here we mapped 181 DEPs, including 59 up-regulated and 122 down-regulated DEPs. Among them, osteopontin (SPP1), induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 (IFIT5), ISG15 ubiquitin-like modifier (ISG15), vinculin (VCL), and syndecan-1 (SDC1) were verified significantly changed using RT-qPCR. Additionally, overexpression of SDC1 promoted PSV viral protein (VP)1 synthesis and virus titer, and silencing of SDC1 revealed the opposite results. Our findings show that SDC1 is a novel host protein and plays crucial roles in regulating PSV replication.

Project description:It remains unclear to what extent tumor heterogeneity impacts on protein biomarker discovery. Here, we quantified proteome intra-tissue heterogeneity (ITH) based on a multi-region analysis of prostate tissues using pressure cycling technology and SWATH mass spectrometry. We quantified 6,873 proteins and analyzed the ITH of 3,700 proteins. The level of ITH varied depending on proteins and tissue types. Benign tissues exhibited more complex ITH patterns than malignant tissues. Spatial variability of ten prostate biomarkers was validated by immunohistochemistry in an independent cohort (n=83) using tissue microarrays. PSA was preferentially variable in benign prostatic hyperplasia, while GDF15 substantially varied in prostate adenocarcinomas. Further, we found that DNA repair pathways exhibited a high degree of variability in tumorous tissues, which may contribute to the genetic heterogeneity of tumors. This study conceptually adds a new perspective to protein biomarker discovery: it suggests that recent technological progress should be exploited to quantify and account for spatial proteome variation to complement biomarker identification and utilization.

Project description:Although polyubiquitin chains linked through all lysines of ubiquitin exist, specific functions are well-established only for lysine-48 and lysine-63 linkages in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To uncover pathways regulated by distinct linkages, genetic interactions between a gene deletion library and a panel of lysine-to-arginine ubiquitin mutants were systematically identified. The K11R mutant had strong genetic interactions with threonine biosynthetic genes. Consistently, we found that K11R mutants import threonine poorly. The K11R mutant also exhibited a strong genetic interaction with a subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), suggesting a role in cell cycle regulation. K11-linkages are important for vertebrate APC function, but this was not previously described in yeast. We show that the yeast APC also modifies substrates with K11-linkages in vitro, and that those chains contribute to normal APC-substrate turnover in vivo. This study reveals comprehensive genetic interactomes of polyubiquitin chains and characterizes the role of K11-chains in two biological pathways.

Project description:The three tandem-arrayed protocadherin (Pcdh) gene clusters, namely Pcdh-alpha, Pcdh-beta, and Pcdh-gamma, play important roles in the development of the vertebrate central nervous system. To gain insight into the molecular action of PCDHs, we performed a systematic proteomics analysis of PCDH-gamma-associated protein complexes. We identified a list of 154 non-redundant proteins in the PCDH-gamma complexes. This list includes nearly 30 members of clustered Pcdh-alpha, -beta, and -gamma families as core components of the complexes and additionally over 120 putative PCDH-associated proteins. We validated a selected subset of PCDH-gamma-associated proteins using specific antibodies. Analysis of the identities of PCDH-associated proteins showed that the majority of them overlap with the proteomic profile of postsynaptic density preparations. Further analysis of membrane protein complexes revealed that several validated PCDH-gamma-associated proteins exhibit reduced levels in Pcdh-gamma-deficient brain tissues. Therefore, PCDH-gamma s are required for the integrity of the complexes. However, the size of the overall complexes and the abundance of many other proteins remained unchanged, raising a possibility that PCDH-alphas and PCDH-betas might compensate for PCDH-gamma function in complex formation. As a test of this idea, RNA interference knockdown of both PCDH-alphas and PCDH-gamma s showed that PCDHs have redundant functions in regulating neuronal survival in the chicken spinal cord. Taken together, our data provide evidence that clustered PCDHs coexist in large protein complexes and have overlapping functions during vertebrate neural development.
