ESNOQ, proteomic quantification of endogenous S-nitrosation.

ABSTRACT: S-nitrosation is a post-translational protein modification and is one of the most important mechanisms of NO signaling. Endogenous S-nitrosothiol (SNO) quantification is a challenge for detailed functional studies. Here we developed an ESNOQ (Endogenous SNO Quantification) method which combines the stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) technique with the detergent-free biotin-switch assay and LC-MS/MS. After confirming the accuracy of quantification in this method, we obtained an endogenous S-nitrosation proteome for LPS/IFN-gamma induced RAW264.7 cells. 27 S-nitrosated protein targets were confirmed and using our method we were able to obtain quantitative information on the level of S-nitrosation on each modified Cys. With this quantitative information, over 15 more S-nitrosated targets were identified than in previous studies. Based on the quantification results, we found that the S-nitrosation levels of different cysteines varied within one protein, providing direct evidence for differences in the sensitivity of cysteine residues to reactive nitrosative stress and that S-nitrosation is a site-specific modification. Gene ontology clustering shows that S-nitrosation targets in the LPS/IFN-gamma induced RAW264.7 cell model were functionally enriched in protein translation and glycolysis, suggesting that S-nitrosation may function by regulating multiple pathways. The ESNOQ method described here thus provides a solution for quantification of multiple endogenous S-nitrosation events, and makes it possible to elucidate the network of relationships between endogenous S-nitrosation targets involved in different cellular processes.

Project description:Protein secretion can mediate communication of distant cells in a multicellular organism and can control a broad range of physiological functions. Regulation of this process is crucial, especially for cells of the immune system that sense pathogens through specific receptors and release proteins that initiate and orchestrate the immune response. This secretome is today analyzed using antibody-based assays, but mass spectrometry could provide an unbiased and comprehensive alternative. Here we developed a quantitative, high resolution mass spectrometric workflow to detect and quantify proteins that are released from macrophages upon Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation by the microbial component lipopolysaccharide (LPS)5. We quantified the time-resolved release of 775 proteins, including 52 annotated cytokines, from only 150.000 primary cells per condition. The dynamic range of the secretory induction was at least 10,000 fold and we achieved sensitivity in the low picogram range. Comparison to the transcriptome revealed high correlation for some protein classes but also anti-correlation resulting from the transcriptionally decoupled release of lysosomal proteins. Using gene knockout (KO) mouse strains as genetic models with intracellular signaling adaptor deficiencies, we defined distinct secretory profiles depending on which arms of the signaling pathways are missing. We show that MyD88 dominates over TRIF in the number and fold-induction of secreted proteins6,7. Interestingly, the sum of the two signaling arms does not equal the wild-type response; instead, protein secretion is tuned by synergistic and predominantly redundant mechanisms. The kinetic data reveals that the release of anti-inflammatory proteins dampens the initial pro-inflammatory response. Our study provides a paradigm for the sensitive and time-resolved identification of receptor activation induced cellular secretomes, including proteins with unexpected extracellular presence, and allows the characterization of the underlying signal transduction pathways.

Project description:There is an immediate need for improved methods to systematically and precisely quantify large sets of peptides in complex biological samples. To date protein quantification in biological samples has been routinely performed on triple quadrupole instruments operated in selected reaction monitoring mode (SRM), and two major challenges remain. Firstly, the number of peptides to be included in one survey experiment needs to be increased to routinely reach several hundreds, and secondly, the degree of selectivity should be improved so as to reliably discriminate the targeted analytes from background interferences. High resolution and accurate mass (HR/AM) analysis on the recently developed Q-Exactive mass spectrometer can potentially address these issues. This instrument presents a unique configuration: it is constituted of an orbitrap mass analyzer equipped with a quadrupole mass filter as the front-end for precursor ion mass selection. This configuration enables new quantitative methods based on HR/AM measurements, including targeted analysis in MS mode (single ion monitoring) and in MS/MS mode (parallel reaction monitoring). The ability of the quadrupole to select a restricted m/z range allows one to overcome the dynamic range limitations associated with trapping devices, and the MS/MS mode provides an additional stage of selectivity. When applied to targeted protein quantification in urine samples and benchmarked with the reference SRM technique, the quadrupole-orbitrap instrument exhibits similar or better performance in terms of selectivity, dynamic range, and sensitivity. This high performance is further enhanced by leveraging the multiplexing capability of the instrument to design novel acquisition methods and apply them to large targeted proteomic studies for the first time, as demonstrated on 770 tryptic yeast peptides analyzed in one 60-min experiment. The increased quality of quadrupole-orbitrap data has the potential to improve existing protein quantification methods in complex samples and address the pressing demand of systems biology or biomarker evaluation studies.
