Proteins interacting with Leishmania major PUF1: A proteomic dataset.

ABSTRACT: Leishmania parasites must deal with stressful environmental conditions (thermal, nutritional and oxidative) along their digenetic life cycles. This requires drastic changes in gene expression, which in this parasite occurs mainly through post-transcriptional mechanisms involving RNA binding proteins (RBPs). PUF proteins, a class of RBPs existing in most eukaryotic organisms, might play too an essential role modulating the fate of mRNAs and regulating gene expression in Leishmania parasites. A proteomic approach to identify putative protein partners (interactome) of the Leishmania major PUF1 protein was performed. The PUF1 interactome was characterized by co-immunoprecipitation using L. major cellular extracts and an anti-LiPUF1 antibody, and a subsequent analysis of the co-immunoprecipitated proteins by mass-spectrometry, identifying 90 LmPUF1 candidate partners. Remarkably, many of the identified proteins are other RBPs and/or putative P bodies and mRNA-exporting machinery components. Raw mass spectrometry data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD022581.

Proteomic analysis of SETD6 interacting proteins.

Project description:SETD6 (SET-domain-containing protein 6) is a mono-methyltransferase that has been shown to methylate RelA and H2AZ. Using a proteomic approach we recently identified several new SETD6 substrates. To identify novel SETD6 interacting proteins, SETD6 was immunoprecipitated (IP) from Human erythromyeloblastoid leukemia K562 cells. SETD6 binding proteins were subjected to mass-spectrometry analysis resulting in 115 new SETD6 binding candidates. STRING database was used to map the SETD6 interactome network. Network enrichment analysis of biological processes with Gene Ontology (GO) database, identified three major groups; metabolic processes, muscle contraction and protein folding.

PINK1-Interacting Proteins: Proteomic Analysis of Overexpressed PINK1.

Project description:Recent publications suggest that the Parkinson's disease- (PD-) related PINK1/Parkin pathway promotes elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria by autophagy. We used tandem affinity purification (TAP), SDS-PAGE, and mass spectrometry as a first step towards identification of possible substrates for PINK1. The cellular abundance of selected identified interactors was investigated by Western blotting. Furthermore, one candidate gene was sequenced in 46 patients with atypical PD. In addition to two known binding partners (HSP90, CDC37), 12 proteins were identified using the TAP assay; four of which are mitochondrially localized (GRP75, HSP60, LRPPRC, and TUFM). Western blot analysis showed no differences in cellular abundance of these proteins comparing PINK1 mutant and control fibroblasts. When sequencing LRPPRC, four exonic synonymous changes and 20 polymorphisms in noncoding regions were detected. Our study provides a list of putative PINK1 binding partners, confirming previously described interactions, but also introducing novel mitochondrial proteins as potential components of the PINK1/Parkin mitophagy pathway.

A Chemical Proteomic Analysis of Illudin-Interacting Proteins.

Project description:The illudin natural product family are fungal secondary metabolites with a characteristic spirocyclopropyl-substituted fused 6,5-bicyclic ring system. They have been extensively studied for their cytotoxicity in various tumor cell types, and semisynthetic derivatives with improved therapeutic characteristics have progressed to clinical trials. Although it is believed that this potent alkylating compound class acts mainly through DNA modification, little is known about its binding to protein sites in a cellular context. To reveal putative protein targets of the illudin family in live cancer cells, we employed a semisynthetic strategy to access a series of illudin-based probes for activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). While the probes largely retained potent cytotoxicity, proteomic profiling studies unraveled multiple protein hits, suggesting that illudins exert their mode of action not from addressing a specific protein target but rather from DNA modification and unselective protein binding.

Comprehensive proteomic analysis of nonintegrin laminin receptor interacting proteins.

Project description:Human nonintegrin laminin receptor is a multifunctional protein acting as an integral component of the ribosome and a cell surface receptor for laminin-1. The laminin receptor is overexpressed in several human cancers and is also the cell surface receptor for several viruses and pathogenic prion proteins, making it a pathologically significant protein. This study focused on the proteomic characterization of laminin receptor interacting proteins from Mus musculus. The use of affinity chromatography with immobilized recombinant laminin receptor coupled with mass spectrometry analysis identified 45 proteins with high confidence. Following validation through coimmunoprecipitation, the proteins were classified based on predicted function into ribosomal, RNA processing, signal transduction/metabolism, protein processing, cytoskeleton/cell anchorage, DNA/chromatin, and unknown functions. A significant portion of the identified proteins is related to functions or localizations previously described for laminin receptor. This work represents a comprehensive proteomic approach to studying laminin receptor and provides an essential stepping stone to a better mechanistic understanding of this protein's diverse functions.
