Pervasive Protein Thermal Stability Variation during the Cell Cycle.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative mass spectrometry has established proteome-wide regulation of protein abundance and post-translational modifications in various biological processes. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to systematically analyze the thermal stability and solubility of proteins on a proteome-wide scale during the eukaryotic cell cycle. We demonstrate pervasive variation of these biophysical parameters with most changes occurring in mitosis and G1. Various cellular pathways and components vary in thermal stability, such as cell-cycle factors, polymerases, and chromatin remodelers. We demonstrate that protein thermal stability serves as a proxy for enzyme activity, DNA binding, and complex formation in situ. Strikingly, a large cohort of intrinsically disordered and mitotically phosphorylated proteins is stabilized and solubilized in mitosis, suggesting a fundamental remodeling of the biophysical environment of the mitotic cell. Our data represent a rich resource for cell, structural, and systems biologists interested in proteome regulation during biological transitions.

Thermal stability variation during transtion to pluripotency

Project description:To investigate functional differences between pluripotent stem cells and somatic cells, we measured protein thermal stability and expression after transitions between cell types using allogenic cell lines. To this purpose, we reprogrammed hFF into human iPSCs and initiated undirected differentiation through formation of EBs during 21 days. We also included human embryonic stem cells (ESC) in order to validate our approach and colon cancer cell line RKO.

Poikilosis - pervasive biological variation.

Project description:Biological systems are dynamic and display heterogeneity at all levels. Ubiquitous heterogeneity, here called for poikilosis, is an integral and important property of organisms and in molecules, systems and processes within them. Traditionally, heterogeneity in biology and experiments has been considered as unwanted noise, here poikilosis is shown to be the normal state. Acceptable variation ranges are called as lagom. Non-lagom, variations that are too extensive, have negative effects, which influence interconnected levels and once the variation is large enough cause a disease and can lead even to death. Poikilosis has numerous applications and consequences e.g. for how to design, analyze and report experiments, how to develop and apply prediction and modelling methods, and in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Poikilosis-aware new and practical definitions are provided for life, death, senescence, disease, and lagom. Poikilosis is the first new unifying theory in biology since evolution and should be considered in every scientific study.

Cyclin-dependent kinase modulates budding yeast Rad5 stability during cell cycle.

Project description:The DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathway facilitates the bypass of the fork-blocking lesions without removing them through either translesion DNA synthesis or error-free damage bypass mechanism. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad5 is a multi-functional protein involved in the error-free branch of the DDT pathway, and its protein level periodically fluctuates through the cell cycle; however, the mechanistic basis and functional importance of the Rad5 level for the cell cycle regulation remain unclear. Here, we show that Rad5 is predominantly phosphorylated on serine 130 (S130) during S/G2 phase and that this modification depends on the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28/CDK1. We also show that the phosphorylated Rad5 species at S130 exhibit a relatively short half-life compared with non-phosphorylated Rad5 moiety, and that the Rad5 protein is partially stabilized in phosphorylation-defective rad5 S130A cells. Importantly, the elimination of this modification results in a defective cell-cycle dependent Rad5 oscillation pattern. Together, our results demonstrate that CDK1 modulates Rad5 stability by phosphorylation during the cell cycle, suggesting a crosstalk between the phosphorylation and degradation of Rad5.

A map of protein dynamics during cell-cycle progression and cell-cycle exit.

Project description:The cell-cycle field has identified the core regulators that drive the cell cycle, but we do not have a clear map of the dynamics of these regulators during cell-cycle progression versus cell-cycle exit. Here we use single-cell time-lapse microscopy of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2) activity followed by endpoint immunofluorescence and computational cell synchronization to determine the temporal dynamics of key cell-cycle proteins in asynchronously cycling human cells. We identify several unexpected patterns for core cell-cycle proteins in actively proliferating (CDK2-increasing) versus spontaneously quiescent (CDK2-low) cells, including Cyclin D1, the levels of which we find to be higher in spontaneously quiescent versus proliferating cells. We also identify proteins with concentrations that steadily increase or decrease the longer cells are in quiescence, suggesting the existence of a continuum of quiescence depths. Our single-cell measurements thus provide a rich resource for the field by characterizing protein dynamics during proliferation versus quiescence.

Connecting Protein Millisecond Conformational Dynamics to Protein Thermal Stability.

Project description:The stability of protein folded states is crucial for its function, yet the relationship with the protein sequence remains poorly understood. Prior studies have focused on the amino acid composition and thermodynamic couplings within a single folded conformation, overlooking the potential contribution of protein dynamics. Here, we address this gap by systematically analyzing the impact of alanine mutations in the C-terminal β-strand (β5) of ubiquitin, a model protein exhibiting millisecond timescale interconversion between two conformational states differing in the β5 position. Our findings unveil a negative correlation between millisecond dynamics and thermal stability, with alanine substitutions at seemingly flexible C-terminal residues significantly enhancing thermostability. Integrating spectroscopic and computational approaches, we demonstrate that the thermally unfolded state retains a substantial secondary structure but lacks β5 engagement, recapitulating the transition state for millisecond dynamics. Thus, alanine mutations that modulate the stabilities of the folded states with respect to the partially unfolded state impact both the dynamics and stability. Our findings underscore the importance of conformational dynamics with implications for protein engineering and design.

Grb7 Protein Stability Modulated by Pin1 in Association with Cell Cycle Progression.

Project description:Growth factor receptor bound protein-7 (Grb7) is a multi-domain adaptor protein that is co-opted by numerous tyrosine kinases involved in various cellular signaling and functions. The molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of Grb7 remain unclear. Here, we revealed a novel negative post-translational regulation of Grb7 by the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase, Pin1. Our data show that phosphorylation of Grb7 protein on the Ser194-Pro motif by c-Jun N-terminal kinase facilitates its binding with the WW domain of Pin1. Subsequently, Grb7 is degraded by the ubiquitin- and proteasome-dependent proteolytic pathway. Indeed, we found that Pin1 exerts its peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity in the modulation of Grb7 protein stability in regulation of cell cycle progression at the G2-M phase. This study illustrates a novel regulatory mechanism in modulating Grb7-mediated signaling, which may take part in pathophysiological consequences.

Phosphorylation variation during the cell cycle scales with structural propensities of proteins.

Project description:Phosphorylation at specific residues can activate a protein, lead to its localization to particular compartments, be a trigger for protein degradation and fulfill many other biological functions. Protein phosphorylation is increasingly being studied at a large scale and in a quantitative manner that includes a temporal dimension. By contrast, structural properties of identified phosphorylation sites have so far been investigated in a static, non-quantitative way. Here we combine for the first time dynamic properties of the phosphoproteome with protein structural features. At six time points of the cell division cycle we investigate how the variation of the amount of phosphorylation correlates with the protein structure in the vicinity of the modified site. We find two distinct phosphorylation site groups: intrinsically disordered regions tend to contain sites with dynamically varying levels, whereas regions with predominantly regular secondary structures retain more constant phosphorylation levels. The two groups show preferences for different amino acids in their kinase recognition motifs - proline and other disorder-associated residues are enriched in the former group and charged residues in the latter. Furthermore, these preferences scale with the degree of disorderedness, from regular to irregular and to disordered structures. Our results suggest that the structural organization of the region in which a phosphorylation site resides may serve as an additional control mechanism. They also imply that phosphorylation sites are associated with different time scales that serve different functional needs.

Stability of cytoplasmic nanoviscosity during cell cycle of HeLa cells synchronized with Aphidicolin.

Project description:Nanoviscosity of the cytoplasm is a key factor affecting diffusion of biomolecules and - as a consequence - rates of biochemical reactions in a cell. Nanoviscosity is an outcome of variable chemical and structural factors, which can temporarily change with cell-cycle associated changes of intracellular architecture. Thus, the question arises, whether rates of biochemical reactions depend on the point of cell cycle. In this paper we address this topic by constant observation of nanoviscosity of HeLa cells cytoplasm during S, G2 and G1 phases after Aphidicolin synchronization. For this purpose we measured diffusion rates of EGFP molecules using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). To our surprise, a counter-intuitive stability of cytoplasmic viscosity was observed during the cell cycle. Our results hint at possible existence of robust mechanism maintaining stable physiological viscosity of the cytoplasm, despite huge structural changes during cell cycle.

Quantitation of protein-protein interactions by thermal stability shift analysis.

Project description:Thermal stability shift analysis is a powerful method for examining binding interactions in proteins. We demonstrate that under certain circumstances, protein-protein interactions can be quantitated by monitoring shifts in thermal stability using thermodynamic models and data analysis methods presented in this work. This method relies on the determination of protein stabilities from thermal unfolding experiments using fluorescent dyes such as SYPRO Orange that report on protein denaturation. Data collection is rapid and straightforward using readily available real-time polymerase chain reaction instrumentation. We present an approach for the analysis of the unfolding transitions corresponding to each partner to extract the affinity of the interaction between the proteins. This method does not require the construction of a titration series that brackets the dissociation constant. In thermal shift experiments, protein stability data are obtained at different temperatures according to the affinity- and concentration-dependent shifts in unfolding transition midpoints. Treatment of the temperature dependence of affinity is, therefore, intrinsic to this method and is developed in this study. We used the interaction between maltose-binding protein (MBP) and a thermostable synthetic ankyrin repeat protein (Off7) as an experimental test case because their unfolding transitions overlap minimally. We found that MBP is significantly stabilized by Off7. High experimental throughput is enabled by sample parallelization, and the ability to extract quantitative binding information at a single partner concentration. In a single experiment, we were able to quantify the affinities of a series of alanine mutants, covering a wide range of affinities (∼ 100 nM to ∼ 100 μM).
