TAILS N-terminomics of human platelets reveals pervasive metalloproteinase-dependent proteolytic processing in storage.

ABSTRACT: Proteases, and specifically metalloproteinases, have been linked to the loss of platelet function during storage before transfusion, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We used a dedicated N-terminomics technique, iTRAQ terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS), to characterize the human platelet N-terminome, proteome, and posttranslational modifications throughout platelet storage over 9 days under blood-banking conditions. From the identified 2938 proteins and 7503 unique peptides, we characterized N-terminal methionine excision, co- and posttranslational N? acetylation, protein maturation, and proteolytic processing of proteins in human platelets. We also identified for the first time 10 proteins previously classified by the Human Proteome Organization as "missing" in the human proteome. Most N termini (77%) were internal neo-N termini (105 were novel potential alternative translation start sites, and 2180 represented stable proteolytic products), thus highlighting a prominent yet previously uncharacterized role of proteolytic processing during platelet storage. Protease inhibitor studies revealed metalloproteinases as being primarily responsible for proteolytic processing (as opposed to degradation) during storage. System-wide identification of metalloproteinase and other proteinase substrates and their respective cleavage sites suggests novel mechanisms of the effect of proteases on protein activity and platelet function during storage. All data sets and metadata are available through ProteomeXchange with the data set identifier PXD000906.

Project description:Proteolytic processing is an irreversible post-translational modification functioning as a ubiquitous regulator of cellular activity. Protease activity is tightly regulated by control of gene expression, compartmentalisation of enzyme and substrate, zymogen activation, enzyme inactivation, and substrate availability. Emerging evidence suggests that proteolysis can also be regulated by substrate glycosylation and that glycosylation of individual sites on a substrate can decrease, or in rare cases, increase its sensitivity to proteolysis. In the present study we investigated the relationship between site-specific O-glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage of extracellular proteins. By in silico analysis we found a significant association between O-glycosylation sites and cleavage sites. We then used a positional proteomic strategy, Terminal Amine Isotopic Labelling of Substrates (TAILS) to map in vivo cleavage sites in HepG2 cells with and without one of the key initiating GalNAc-transferases, GalNAc-T2. To reduce complexity, the comparison were performed in so-called SimpleCells. In these cells the Core 1 β3-galactosyltransferase-specific molecular chaperone (COSMC; C1GALT1C1) has been knocked out, resulting in global truncation of O-glycans leaving only the initial GalNAc. Surprisingly, we found that loss of GalNAc-T2 resulted in not only an increase in cleavage, but also a decrease in cleavage across a broad range of other substrates, including key regulators of the protease network. GALNT2 has previously been identified as a candidate gene for dyslipidaemia and has been shown to specifically glycosylate central regulators of lipid homeostasis, here we find altered processing of several of these regulators including Apolipoproteins B (ApoB) and the Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), providing new clues to the link between GALNT2 and lipid homeostasis. In contrast to the findings from the majority of previous studies, these results indicate that O-glycosylation can both decrease and increase substrate cleavage. We challenged this system with exogenous matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and neutrophil elastase and observed substantial changes to the neutrophil elastase N-terminome, but no evidence for a similar role for MMP9. Overall, we show that loss of O-glycosylation leads to a general decrease in cleavage, that GalNAc-T2 O-glycosylation affects key regulators of the cellular proteolytic network, including multiple members of the Serpin family.

Project description:BackgroundThe Montreal platelet syndrome kindred (MPS) with VWF p.V1316M mutation (2B-VWDMPS) is an extremely rare disorder. It has been associated with macrothrombocytopenia, spontaneous platelet clumping, mucocutaneous, and other bleeding, which can be largely prevented by von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentrate infusion. However, supplemental platelet transfusion has been required on occasion, particularly for severe gastrointestinal bleeds. This raised the question of whether a previously uncharacterized platelet dysfunction contributes to bleeding diathesis in 2B-VWDMPS patients. We have previously shown that membrane ballooning, a principal part of the platelet procoagulant membrane dynamics (PMD) after collagen stimulation, is driven by the influx of Na+ and Cl-, followed by the entry of water.MethodsWe study two members (mother and daughter) of the MPS kindred with severe bleeding phenotype and address this question by coupling quantitative platelet shotgun proteomics and validating biochemical assays, with the systematic analysis of platelet procoagulant membrane dynamics (PMD). Using N-terminomics/TAILS (terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates), we compare changes in proteolysis between healthy and 2B-VWDMPS platelets.ResultsHere, we report in 2B-VWDMPS platelets, the loss of the transmembrane chloride channel-1 (CLIC1), and reduced chloride ion influx after collagen stimulation. This was associated with diminished membrane ballooning, phosphatidylserine externalization, and membrane thrombin formation, as well as a distinct phenotypic composition of platelets over fibrillar collagen. We also identify processing differences of VWF, fibronectin (FN1), and Crk-like protein (CRKL). 2B-VWDMPS platelets are shown to be basally activated, partially degranulated, and have marked loss of regulatory, cytoskeletal, and contractile proteins.ConclusionsThis may account for structural disorganization, giant platelet formation, and a weakened hemostatic response.

Project description:Enteroviruses encode proteinases that are essential for processing of the translated viral polyprotein. In addition, viral proteinases also target host proteins to manipulate cellular processes and evade innate antiviral responses to promote replication and infection. Although some host protein substrates of enterovirus proteinases have been identified, the full repertoire of targets remains unknown. We used a novel quantitative in vitro proteomics-based approach, termed terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS), to identify with high confidence 72 and 34 new host protein targets of poliovirus and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) 3C proteinases (3Cpros) in HeLa cell and cardiomyocyte HL-1 cell lysates, respectively. We validated a subset of candidate substrates that are targets of poliovirus 3Cproin vitro including three common protein targets, phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthetase (PFAS), hnRNP K, and hnRNP M, of both proteinases. 3Cpro-targeted substrates were also cleaved in virus-infected cells but not noncleavable mutant proteins designed from the TAILS-identified cleavage sites. Knockdown of TAILS-identified target proteins modulated infection both negatively and positively, suggesting that cleavage by 3Cpro promotes infection. Indeed, expression of a cleavage-resistant mutant form of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi vesicle-tethering protein p115 decreased viral replication and yield. As the first comprehensive study to identify and validate functional enterovirus 3Cpro substrates in vivo, we conclude that N-terminomics by TAILS is an effective strategy to identify host targets of viral proteinases in a nonbiased manner.IMPORTANCE Enteroviruses are positive-strand RNA viruses that encode proteases that cleave the viral polyprotein into the individual mature viral proteins. In addition, viral proteases target host proteins in order to modulate cellular pathways and block antiviral responses in order to facilitate virus infection. Although several host protein targets have been identified, the entire list of proteins that are targeted is not known. In this study, we used a novel unbiased proteomics approach to identify ?100 novel host targets of the enterovirus 3C protease, thus providing further insights into the network of cellular pathways that are modulated to promote virus infection.

Project description:The antigenic repertoire presented by MHC molecules is generated by the antigen processing and presentation (APP) pathway. We analyzed the evolutionary history of 45 genes involved in APP at the inter- and intra-species level. Results showed that 11 genes evolved adaptively in mammals. Several positively selected sites involve positions of fundamental importance to the protein function (e.g. the TAP1 peptide-binding domains, the sugar binding interface of langerin, and the CD1D trafficking signal region). In CYBB, all selected sites cluster in two loops protruding into the endosomal lumen; analysis of missense mutations responsible for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) showed the action of different selective forces on the very same gene region, as most CGD substitutions involve aminoacid positions that are conserved in all mammals. As for ERAP2, different computational methods indicated that positive selection has driven the recurrent appearance of protein-destabilizing variants during mammalian evolution. Application of a population-genetics phylogenetics approach showed that purifying selection represented a major force acting on some APP components (e.g. immunoproteasome subunits and chaperones) and allowed identification of positive selection events in the human lineage. We also investigated the evolutionary history of APP genes in human populations by developing a new approach that uses several different tests to identify the selection target, and that integrates low-coverage whole-genome sequencing data with Sanger sequencing. This analysis revealed that 9 APP genes underwent local adaptation in human populations. Most positive selection targets are located within noncoding regions with regulatory function in myeloid cells or act as expression quantitative trait loci. Conversely, balancing selection targeted nonsynonymous variants in TAP1 and CD207 (langerin). Finally, we suggest that selected variants in PSMB10 and CD207 contribute to human phenotypes. Thus, we used evolutionary information to generate experimentally-testable hypotheses and to provide a list of sites to prioritize in follow-up analyses.
