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 ?M).

Project description: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.

Project description:The data presented here are related to the research article entitled "Expression, purification, and preliminary characterization of human presenilin-2" [1]. Human Presenilin-2 is the catalytic subunit of ?-secretase and a possible calcium leakage channel (Kimberly et al., 2000; Tu et al., 2006) [2], [3]. HisPS2 which was obtained by overexpression in E. coli strain C43 (DE3) was extracted by detergent solubilisation. The sample isolation efficiency by detergents and the protein identification by mass spectrometry and western blot are described. This data article describes the near and far UV circular dichroism measurements and the data deconvolution in terms of secondary structure at 4 and 98?°C. Also, a refolding spectrum is presented. The raw CD spectra used for deconvolution of the helix and stand segments and average length are deposited into Protein Circular Dichroism Data Bank with PCDDBid: CD0005962000 (4?°C far UV), CD0005963000 (98?°C far UV), CD0005964000 (back to 4?°C far UV) and CD0005965000 (4?°C near UV CD).

Project description:The molecular function of occludin, an integral membrane component of tight junctions, remains unclear. VEGF-induced phosphorylation sites were mapped on occludin by combining MS data analysis with bioinformatics. In vivo phosphorylation of Ser490 was validated and protein interaction studies combined with crystal structure analysis suggest that Ser490 phosphorylation attenuates the interaction between occludin and ZO-1. This study demonstrates that combining MS data and bioinformatics can successfully identify novel phosphorylation sites from limiting samples.

Project description:DZNep (3-deazaneplanocin A) is commonly used to reduce lysine methylation. DZNep inhibits S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (AHCY), preventing the conversion of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) into L-homocysteine and reducing the level of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). As a result, the SAM to SAH ratio decreases, an indicator of the methylation potential within a cell. Many studies have characterized the impact of DZNep on histone lysine methylation or in specific cell or disease contexts. Recently, protein thermal stability has provided a new dimension for studying the mechanism of action of small molecule inhibitors. In addition to ligand binding, post-translational modifications and protein-protein interactions impact thermal stability. Here, we sought to characterize protein thermal stability changes induced by DZNep treatment in HEK293T cells using the Protein Integral Solubility Alteration (PISA) assay. DZNep treatment altered the thermal stability of 135 proteins, with over half previously reported to be methylated at lysine residues. In addition to thermal stability, we identify changes in transcript and protein abundance after DZNep treatment to distinguish between direct and indirect impacts on thermal stability. Nearly one-third of the proteins with altered thermal stability had no changes at the transcript or protein level. Of these thermally altered proteins, CDK6 had a stabilized methylated peptide, while its unmethylated counterpart was unaltered. Multiple methyltransferases were among the proteins with thermal stability alteration, including DNMT1, potentially due to changes in SAM/SAH levels. This study systematically evaluates DZNep’s impact on the transcriptome, the proteome, and the thermal stability of proteins.

Project description:We present the software CDpal that is used to analyze thermal and chemical denaturation data to obtain information on protein stability. The software uses standard assumptions and equations applied to two-state and various types of three-state denaturation models in order to determine thermodynamic parameters. It can analyze denaturation monitored by both circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy and is extremely flexible in terms of input format. Furthermore, it is intuitive and easy to use because of the graphical user interface and extensive documentation. As illustrated by the examples herein, CDpal should be a valuable tool for analysis of protein stability.

Project description:Thermal stability of mutant proteins has been investigated using temperature dependent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in vacuo. The numerical modeling was aimed at mimicking protein expansion upon heating. After the conditions for an expanding protein accessible surface area were established for T4 lysozyme and barnase wild-type proteins, MD simulations were carried out under the same conditions using the crystal structures of several mutant proteins. The computed thermal expansion of the accessible surface area of mutant proteins was found to be strongly correlated with their experimentally measured stabilities. A similar, albeit weaker, correlation was observed for model mutant proteins. This opens the possibility of obtaining stability information directly from protein structure.

Project description:Although thermoplastic materials are mostly derived from petro-chemicals, it would be highly desirable, from a sustainability perspective, to produce them instead from renewable biopolymers. Unfortunately, biopolymers exhibiting thermoplastic behaviour and which preserve their mechanical properties post processing are essentially non-existent. The robust sucker ring teeth (SRT) from squid and cuttlefish are one notable exception of thermoplastic biopolymers. Here we describe thermoplastic processing of squid SRT via hot extrusion of fibres, demonstrating the potential suitability of these materials for large-scale thermal forming. Using high-resolution in situ X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy, we elucidate the molecular and nanoscale features responsible for this behaviour and show that SRT consist of semi-crystalline polymers, whereby heat-resistant, nanocrystalline ?-sheets embedded within an amorphous matrix are organized into a hexagonally packed nanofibrillar lattice. This study provides key insights for the molecular design of biomimetic protein- and peptide-based thermoplastic structural biopolymers with potential biomedical and 3D printing applications.

Project description:Purification of recombinant proteins for biochemical assays and structural studies is time-consuming and presents inherent difficulties that depend on the optimization of protein stability. The use of dyes to monitor thermal denaturation of proteins with sensitive fluorescence detection enables rapid and inexpensive determination of protein stability using real-time PCR instruments. By screening a wide range of solution conditions and additives in a 96-well format, the thermal shift assay easily identifies conditions that significantly enhance the stability of recombinant proteins. The same approach can be used as an initial low-cost screen to discover new protein-ligand interactions by capitalizing on increases in protein stability that typically occur upon ligand binding. This unit presents a methodological workflow for small-scale, high-throughput thermal denaturation of recombinant proteins in the presence of SYPRO Orange dye.
