Peptidomics of potato protein hydrolysates: implications of post-translational modifications in food peptide structure and behaviour.

ABSTRACT: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) often occur in proteins and play a regulatory role in protein function. There is an increasing interest in the bioactivity of food protein-derived peptides, but the occurrence of PTMs and their influence on food peptide structure and behaviour remain largely unknown. In this study, the shotgun-based peptidomics strategy was used to identify the occurrence of PTMs in peptides generated from potato protein hydrolysis using digestive proteases. Diverse PTMs were found in the potato peptides, including acetylation of lysine, N-terminal of proteins and peptides, C-terminal amidation, de-amidation of asparagine/glutamine, methylation and trimethylation, methionine oxidation and N-terminal pyro-glutamyl residue formation. The modifications may have been formed naturally or as a result of chemical reactions during isolation and enzymatic processing of the potato proteins. Most of the PTMs were calculated to decrease the isoelectric point and increase molecular hydrophobicity of the peptides, which will influence their bioactivity while also potentially altering their solubility in an aqueous environment. This is the first study to unravel that food-derived peptides can be widely modified by PTMs associated with notable changes in peptide chemical properties. The findings have broader implications on the bioavailability, biomolecular interactions and biological activities of food peptides.

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are one of the most important regulatory mechanisms in cells, and they play key roles in cell signaling both in health and disease. PTM catalyzing enzymes have become significant drug targets, and therefore, tremendous interest has been focused on the development of broad-scale assays to monitor several different PTMs with a single detection platform. Most of the current methodologies suffer from low throughput or rely on antibody recognition, increasing the assay costs, and decreasing the multifunctionality of the assay. Thus, we have developed a sensitive time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) detection method for PTMs of cysteine residues using a single-peptide approach performed in a 384-well format. In the developed assay, the enzyme-specific biotinylated substrate peptide is post-translationally modified at the cysteine residue, preventing the subsequent thiol coupling with a reactive AlexaFluor 680 acceptor dye. In the absence of enzymatic activity, increase in the TR-FRET signal between the biotin-bound Eu(III)-labeled streptavidin donor and the cysteine-coupled AlexaFluor 680 acceptor dye is observed. We demonstrate the detection concept with cysteine modifying S-nitrosylation and ADP-ribosylation reactions using a chemical nitric oxide donor S-nitrosoglutathione and enzymatic ADP-ribosyltransferase PtxS1-subunit of pertussis toxin, respectively. As a proof of concept, three peptide substrates derived from the small GTPase K-Ras and the inhibitory ?-subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein G?i showed expected functionality in both chemical and enzymatic assays. Measurements yielded signal-to-background ratios of 28.7, 33.0, and 8.7 between the modified and the nonmodified substrates for the three peptides in the S-nitrosylation assay, 5.8 in the NAD+ hydrolysis assay, and 6.8 in the enzymatic ADP-ribosyltransferase inhibitor dose-response assay. The developed antibody-free assay for cysteine-modifying enzymes provides a detection platform with low nanomolar peptide substrate consumption, and the assay is potentially applicable to investigate various cysteine-modifying enzymes in a high throughput compatible format.

Project description:The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is one of the major protein degradation pathways in eukaryotic cells. Abnormal functioning of this system has been observed in cancer and neurological diseases. The 20S proteasomes, essential components of the UPS, are present not only within the cells but also in the extracellular space, and their concentration in blood plasma has been found to be elevated and dependent upon the disease state, being of prognostic significance in patients suffering from cancer, liver diseases, and autoimmune diseases. However, functions of extracellular proteasomes and mechanisms of their release by cells remain largely unknown. The main mechanism of proteasome activity regulation is provided by modulation of their composition and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Moreover, diverse PTMs of proteins are known to participate in the loading of specific elements into extracellular vesicles. Since previous studies have revealed that the transport of extracellular proteasomes may occur via extracellular vesicles, we have set out to explore the PTMs of extracellular proteasomes in comparison to cellular counterparts. In this work, cellular and extracellular proteasomes were affinity purified and separated by SDS-PAGE for subsequent trypsinization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. In total, we could identify 64 and 55 PTM sites in extracellular and cellular proteasomes, respectively, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation, and succinylation. We observed novel sites of acetylation at K238 and K192 of the proteasome subunits β2 and β3, respectively, that are specific for extracellular proteasomes. Moreover, cellular proteasomes show specific acetylation at K227 of α2 and ubiquitination at K201 of β3. Interestingly, succinylation of β6 at the residue K228 seems not to be present exclusively in extracellular proteasomes, whereas both extracellular and cellular proteasomes may also be acetylated at this site. The same situation takes place at K201 of the β3 subunit where ubiquitination is seemingly specific for cellular proteasomes. Moreover, crosstalk between acetylation, ubiquitination, and succinylation has been observed in the subunit α3 of both proteasome populations. These data will serve as a basis for further studies, aimed at dissection of the roles of extracellular proteasome-specific PTMs in terms of the function of these proteasomes and mechanism of their transport into extracellular space.
