Proteomic analysis of mitochondrial protein turnover: identification of novel substrate proteins of the matrix protease pim1.

ABSTRACT: ATP-dependent oligomeric proteases are major components of cellular protein quality control systems. To investigate the role of proteolytic processes in the maintenance of mitochondrial functions, we analyzed the dynamic behavior of the mitochondrial proteome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. By a characterization of the influence of temperature on protein turnover in isolated mitochondria, we were able to define four groups of proteins showing a differential susceptibility to proteolysis. The protein Pim1/LON has been shown to be the main protease in the mitochondrial matrix responsible for the removal of damaged or nonnative proteins. To assess the substrate range of Pim1 under in vivo conditions, we performed a quantitative comparison of the 2D protein spot patterns between wild-type and pim1Delta mitochondria. We were able to identify a novel subset of mitochondrial proteins that are putative endogenous substrates of Pim1. Using an in organello degradation assay, we confirmed the Pim1-specific, ATP-dependent proteolysis of the newly identified substrate proteins. We could demonstrate that the functional integrity of the Pim1 substrate proteins, in particular, the presence of intact prosthetic groups, had a major influence on the susceptibility to proteolysis.

Project description:Fibrotic disease is characterized by the pathological accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Surprisingly, very little is known about the synthesis and degradation rates of the many proteins and proteoglycans that constitute healthy or pathological extracellular matrix. A comprehensive understanding of altered ECM protein synthesis and degradation during the onset and progression of fibrotic disease would be immensely valuable. We have developed a dynamic proteomics platform that quantifies the fractional synthesis rates of large numbers of proteins via stable isotope labeling and LC/MS-based mass isotopomer analysis. Here, we present the first broad analysis of ECM protein kinetics during the onset of experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Mice were labeled with heavy water for up to 21 days following the induction of lung fibrosis with bleomycin. Lung tissue was subjected to sequential protein extraction to fractionate cellular, guanidine-soluble ECM proteins and residual insoluble ECM proteins. Fractional synthesis rates were calculated for 34 ECM proteins or protein subunits, including collagens, proteoglycans, and microfibrillar proteins. Overall, fractional synthesis rates of guanidine-soluble ECM proteins were faster than those of insoluble ECM proteins, suggesting that the insoluble fraction reflected older, more mature matrix components. This was confirmed through the quantitation of pyridinoline cross-links in each protein fraction. In fibrotic lung tissue, there was a significant increase in the fractional synthesis of unique sets of matrix proteins during early (pre-1 week) and late (post-1 week) fibrotic response. Furthermore, we isolated fast turnover subpopulations of several ECM proteins (e.g. type I collagen) based on guanidine solubility, allowing for accelerated detection of increased synthesis of typically slow-turnover protein populations. This establishes the presence of multiple kinetic pools of pulmonary collagen in vivo with altered turnover rates during evolving fibrosis. These data demonstrate the utility of dynamic proteomics in analyzing changes in ECM protein turnover associated with the onset and progression of fibrotic disease.
