Project description:Hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) is one of the two major mass spectrometric technologies used in proteomics. Although based on simple fundamental principles, it has over the last decades greatly evolved in terms of achievable resolution, mass accuracy and dynamic range. The Bruker impact platform of QTOF instruments takes advantage of these developments and here we develop and evaluate the impact II for shotgun proteomics applications. Adaption of our heated LC system achieved very narrow peptide elution peaks. The impact II is equipped with a new collision cell with both axial and radial ion ejection, more than doubling ion extraction at high MS/MS frequencies. The new reflectron and detector improve resolving power compared to the previous model up to 80%, i.e. to 40,000 at m/z 1222. We analyzed the ion current from the inlet capillary and found very high transmission (>80%) up to the collision cell. Simulation and measurement indicated 60% transfer into the flight tube. We adapted MaxQuant for QTOF data, improving absolute average mass deviations to better than 1.45 ppm. More than 4,800 proteins can be identified in a single run of HeLa digest in a 90 min gradient. The workflow achieved high technical reproducibility (R2>0.99) and accurate fold change determination in spike-in experiments over three orders of magnitude in complex mixtures. Using label-free quantification we rapidly quantified haploid against diploid yeast and characterized overall proteome differences in mouse cell lines originated from different tissues. Finally, after high pH reversed-phase fractionation we identified 9,515 proteins in a triplicate measurement of HeLa peptide mixture and 11,257 proteins in cerebellum – the highest proteome coverage measured with a QTOF instrument so far.

Project description:In this project we developed phosphopeptides functionalized with methacrylate ester warheads installed on a cysteine residue, which bind covalently to the protein 14-3-3 sigma. We prepared complexes of the purified protein with the peptides and used trypsin digestion and LC-MSMS to elucidate the binding site of the peptides, by comparison of compound-treated complexes to DMSO-treated protein and observing the disappearance on non-modified peptides. The file names are based on internal names used for the project and are distinct from the names given to the peptides in the final publication. Names are as follows: 4IEA - peptide 3 in the final publication 128C - peptide 8 in the final publication 132C - peptide 11 in the final publication

Project description:Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms take deterministic decisions to reprogram cell fates. A macroscopic manifestation of such an event is the remodelling of the cellsâ morphology and it typically is governed at the molecular scale by massive reorganization of the cellular transcriptome. With the regulation at the level of transcription initiation representing the most common form for such developmental reprogramming, cells typically rely on one or several master regulators to coordinate the the activity of hundreds of genes simultaneously by directly binding to their promoters. Despite the apparent simplicity of prokaryotes and their reduced genome size compared to that of their eukaryotic counterparts, free-living bacteria typically encode hundreds of transcription factors (TFs) in their genomes that could act as master TFs. By contrast, obligate intracellular bacteria such as Chlamydiae have a drastically reduced genome due to their intimate association with the host and thus a smaller number of TF genes. The genomes of members of the Chlamydiaceae family, which include the well-known bacterial pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae, are only 1-1.2 Mbp. By contrast, members of the environmental Chlamydiae Waddlia chondrophila and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae have a 2-fold and 3-fold larger genome, respectively, likely allowing for an expansion of the host range while still retaining their host dependence and parasitic life style. Moreover, they all exhibit a characteristic chlamydial developmental cycle via two functionally specialized morphotypes, the infectious non-dividing elementary bodies (EBs) and the non-infectious dividing reticulate bodies (RBs). This developmental cycle is usually divided in three stages: the early stage during which EBs enter host cells and differentiate into RBs; the mid-stage where RBs proliferate inside a vacuole called inclusion and the late stage where RBs differentiate back into EBs and are released after exocytosis or cell lysis. Chlamydial genes are thus classified into three different temporal classes (early, mid and late expressed genes), likely reflecting the need of these transcripts in each of the three developmental stages. W. chondrophila, an emerging pathogen implicated in abortion in bovine and miscarriage in humans, encodes less than 20 TFs, 10 of which are conserved among the Chlamydiae. In light of this low TF multiplicity in the chlamydial pan-genome along with the common developmental cycle and parasitic life style, we aimed to define the regulatory pan-genome of each these conserved TFs to identify the elusive chlamydial master regulator and to characterize underling specificity for its target promoters using chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of chlamydial cells growing inside the host. The immunochemistry of ChIP-Seq has the advantage of minimizing the contaminating nucleic acids compared to chlamydial transcriptome studies, it has the added benefit of providing the first unambiguous glimpse into the regulatory landscape of a bacterium inside host, offering a solid framework in understanding the stochastic and/or deterministic switches that bacteria rely on during infections.

Project description:Caulobacter species are dimorphic Gram-negative bacteria that inhabit diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. A suite of molecular sensory systems enables these microbes to control growth, development, and reproduction in response to levels of essential elements, including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Although the enhancer binding protein NtrC and its cognate sensor histidine kinase NtrB are well-established regulators of bacterial nitrogen assimilation, their precise functions in Caulobacter metabolism and cell development remained largely undefined. Deletion of C. crescentus ntrC slowed cell growth in complex medium, while ntrB and ntrC were essential for growth when ammonium was the sole nitrogen source due to their requirement for glutamine synthase (glnA) expression. Random transposition of a conserved IS3-family mobile genetic element frequently rescued the growth defect of ntrC mutant strains by restoring glnBA transcription, revealing a possible role for IS3 transposition in shaping the evolution of Caulobacter populations during nitrogen limitation. We further defined the NtrC regulon through transcriptomic and ChIP-seq analyses, which demonstrated the role of NtrC as both a transcriptional activator and repressor. The chromosome of C. crescentus harbors dozens of direct binding sites for NtrC, with a significant proportion located near genes involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis. Numerous NtrC binding sites align with those of GapR, an essential protein involved in chromosome organization, and MucR1, a cell cycle regulator. This observation suggests that NtrC participates in the regulation of cell cycle and cell development. Indeed, loss of NtrC function led to elongated polar stalks and elevated synthesis of cell envelope polysaccharides. These developmental defects were restored by supplementing media with glutamine or by ectopic expression of the glnBA operon. This study establishes a regulatory connection between NtrC, nitrogen metabolism, polar morphogenesis, and envelope polysaccharide synthesis in Caulobacter.

Project description:The S. pombe orthologue of the human PAXT complex, Mtl1-Red1 Core (MTREC), is an eleven-subunit complex which targets cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) to the nuclear RNA exosome for degradation. It encompasses the canonical poly(A) polymerase Pla1, responsible for polyadenylation of nascent RNA transcripts as part of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF/CPSF). In this study we identified and characterised the interaction between Pla1 and the MTREC complex core component Red1 and analysed the functional relevance of this interaction in vivo. Our crystal structure of the Pla1-Red1 complex showed that a 58-residue fragment in Red1 binds to the RNA recognition motif domain of Pla1 and tethers it to the MTREC complex. Structure-based Pla1-Red1 interaction mutations showed that Pla1, as part of MTREC complex, hyper-adenylates CUTs for their efficient degradation. Interestingly, the Red1-Pla1 interaction was also required for the efficient assembly of the fission yeast facultative heterochromatic islands. Together, our data suggest a complex interplay between the RNA surveillance and 3’-end processing machineries.

Project description:The PAQosome (Particle for Arrangement of Quaternary structure) is a twelve-subunit HSP90 co-chaperone involved in the biogenesis of several human protein complexes. Two mechanisms of client selection have previously been identified, namely the selective recruitment of specific adaptors and the differential use of homologous core subunits. Here, we describe a third client selection mechanism by showing that RPAP3, one of the core PAQosome subunits, is phosphorylated at several Ser residues in HEK293 cells. Affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry (AP-MS) using expression of tagged RPAP3 with single phospho-null mutations at Ser116, Ser119 or Ser121 reveals binding of the unphosphorylated form to several proteins involved in ribosome biogenesis. In vitro phosphorylation assays indicate that the kinase CK2 phosphorylates these RPAP3 residues. This finding is supported by data showing that pharmacological inhibition of CK2 enhances binding of RPAP3 to ribosome preassembly factors in AP-MS experiments. Moreover, silencing of PAQosome subunits interferes with ribosomal assembly factors’ interactome. Altogether, these results indicate that RPAP3 phosphate group addition/removal at specific residues modulates binding to subunits of preribosomal complexes and allows speculating that PAQosome posttranslational modifications is a mechanism of client selection.

Project description:The mutants in our study carry an insertion in the nla4 (MXAN2516), nla6 (MXAN4042), nla18 (MXAN3692) or nla28 (MXAN1167) gene. (MXAN numbers are the conventional gene names; nlas are common names). Mutations in the nla genes produce strong defects in fruiting body development. All four of the nla genes code for enhancer binding proteins (EBPs), which are transcriptional activators. In this study, we examined how the nla mutations alter gene expression patterns in developing cells.

Project description:Recent studies in non-human model systems have shown therapeutic potential of modified mRNA (modRNA) treatments for lysosomal storage diseases. Here, we assessed the efficacy of a modRNA treatment to restore the expression of the α-galactosidase (GLA) gene in a human cardiac model generated from induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived from two patients with Fabry disease. In line with the clinical phenotype, cardiomyocytes from Fabry patient’s induced pluripotent stem cells show accumulation of the glycosphinolipid Globotriaosylceramide (GB3), which is an α-galactosidase substrate. Further, the patient-specific cardiomyocytes have significant upregulation of lysosomal associated proteins. Upon modRNA treatment, a subset of lysosomal proteins were partially restored to wildtype levels, implying the rescue of the molecular phenotype associated with the Fabry genotype. Importantly, a significant reduction of GB3 levels was observed in GLA modRNA treated cardiomyocytes demonstrating that α-galactosidase enzymatic activity was restored. Together, our results validate the utility of patient IPSC-derived cardiomyocytes as a model to study disease processes in Fabry disease and the therapeutic potential of GLA modRNA treatment to reduce GB3 accumulation in the heart.
