Mouse Core Acrosomal Matrix LC-MSMS

ABSTRACT: Some molecular and cellular mechanisms of fertilization are still not completely described. The role of the acrosomal matrix (AM), the particulate compartment within the acrosome, is one of them. Here, we proposed that amyloids, highly ordered protein aggregates, by their physical and chemical properties could contribute to AM roles in fertilization. Purified AM were exposed to a two-step extraction to sequentially strip off soluble proteins. The remaining insoluble material (core) was subjected to a mass spectrometry analysis. Preparation of samples for MS analysis: Three different approaches were used to optimize identification of peptides in the AM core. For in-gel digestion, core samples were resuspended in 13.2mM SA pH3 containing 8M urea and 100 mM DTT and incubated for 1 hr at RT. Proteins were separated on a hand casted 12% polyacrylamide Tris-glycine gel. After silver staining, visible bands were cut from the gel, destained and washed with ddH2O (2 X 5 min) then with 50% ethanol (2 X 5 min) before stored at -20 degrees C. Gel pieces were tryptically digested in 25mM triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer at 37 degrees C overnight with trypsin. For in-solution digestion, core samples were resuspended in 13.2mM SA pH3/ 8M urea/ 100mM DTT and incubated for 1 h at RT followed by 15 min at 70 degrees C. Iodoacetamide was added to 10mM and proteins were alkylated by incubation for 15 min at RT in the dark. Samples were added to a pre-rinsed spin filter and centrifuged at 14,000 X g. Samples were washed with 9M urea then with 25mM ammonium bicarbonate. Samples were digested with trypsin in 25mM ammonium bicarbonate overnight. After digestion, samples were spin at 14,000 X g and washed 2 times with 25mM ammonium bicarbonate. The retentate was transferred to a new tube and air dried. For on-membrane digestion, the samples were dotted on nitrocellulose membrane and digested by trypsin. Briefly, core samples were resuspended and treated as for in-solution digestion. Then, samples were dotted by gravity on the membrane. Wells were rinsed with 20mM SA pH3 followed by TBS. Dots were cut and air-dried. After the protein digestion with trypsin in 25mM ammonium bicarbonate the membranes were dissolved with acetone and the precipitated peptides were air-dried. All digested peptides were reconstituted in 2% acetonitrile/ 0.1% formic acid for MS analysis. MS data acquisition: Protein identification by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) analysis of peptides was performed using an LTQ Orbitrap Velos MS interfaced with a 2D nanoLC system. Protein and Peptide Identification: MS/MS spectra were extracted using the ProteoWizard Toolkit. The spectra were analyzed using the GPM Manager with X!Tandem to search against a home made mouse database containing 213,054 nonredundant protein sequences created by using mouse sequences from Ensembl database (files Mus_musculus.GRCm38.73.pep.all & Mus_musculus.GRCm38.73.pep.abinitio) and from NCBI database (file nr downloaded on 09/19/2013) . Search was performed using fully tryptic enzyme specificity (See deposited MS data for details). Peptides and proteins that have an expectation value of log10 (e) <= -2 were included in the results. Curated results were obtained by keeping only proteins with at least one mouse-specific matching peptide (peptide match = 100% identities and 100% coverage on a unique mouse protein and <100% identities and/or <100% coverage on human proteins). In addition, trypsin-like proteins were kept if at least one peptide was not matching on exogenous pig trypsins.

The acrosomal matrix (AM) is an insoluble structure within the sperm acrosome that serves as a scaffold controlling the release of AM-associated proteins during the sperm acrosome reaction. The AM also interacts with the zona pellucida (ZP) that surrounds the oocyte, suggesting a remarkable stability that allows its survival despite being surrounded by proteolytic and hydrolytic enzymes released during the acrosome reaction. To date, the mechanism responsible for the stability of the AM is not k ...[more]

Project description:Cyanophora paradoxa muroplasts were isolated on a Percoll gradient. Muroplasts were fractionated into soluble (stroma), envelope, and thylakoid proteins. Protein samples from envelope membranes, thylakoids, stroma and total muroplasts were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. Each Protein lanewas cut into 10 slices of variable size to match similar protein amounts. The gel slices were washed and diced to 1mm3 cubes. Gel pieces were destained by two consecutive washes with a 50:50 mixture of 200 mM ammonium bicarbonate and acetonitrile (ACN) for 20 min at 37°C. Proteins were reduced with 10mM DTT for 45 min at 56°C, followed by alkylation with 55mM iodoacetamide for 45 min at room temperature in the dark. After reduction and alkylation, gel pieces were washed twice with 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate, dehydrated with 100% ACN for 10 min, and dried in a SpeedVac. Gel pieces were fully covered in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate containing 10ng/ml trypsin and rehydrated at 4°C. The samples were incubated overnight at 37°C and peptides in the supernatant were pooled after successive extraction steps using 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 100% ACN and 2.5% formic acid (FA), 50% ACN. The samples were dried in a SpeedVac and reconstituted in 5% ACN, 0.1% FA prior to MS analysis. Each of the samples were analysed in duplicates. Tryptic peptides of the thylakoid, envelope and stroma fractions were loaded onto a fritless 100 μm capillary packed in-house with 10cm of ProntoSIL C18 ace-EPS, 3µm. A gradient of 5-80% (v/v) ACN in 0.1% (v/v) FA was passed over the column with a duration of 115 min. The eluted peptides were directly electrosprayed into the LTQ orbitrap XL MS at a flow rate of 250 nl min-1 and a spray voltage of 1.3 kV. The instrument was operated in a 4-step data-dependent positive mode to identify the top three most abundant ions in a high-resolution MS scan (400 to 2000 m/z), which were then selected for fragmentation. MudPIT analyses were performed on the muroplast samples using an in-house packed analytical column consisting of 10 cm ProntoSIL C18 ace-EPS, 3µm (Bischoff) and 2 cm of a strong cationic exchange (SCX) material, 3µm in combination with an 6-step salt pulse gradient (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 500 mM ammonium acetate). Each salt-step peptides were eluted from the SCX to the C18-phase of the analytical column and eluated with a 130- min reverse-phase solvent gradient (5–80% ACN containing 0.1% FA). The eluate was directly electrosprayed into the LTQ orbitrap XL MS which was operated as described before. All MS/MS samples were analyzed using Sequest and X! Tandem. Sequest was set up to search the C. paradoxa nuclear and muroplast protein database with a total of 32,286 entries, assuming the digestion enzyme trypsin. X! Tandem was set up to search a subset of the C. paradoxa database also assuming trypsin. Sequest and X! Tandem were searched with a fragment ion mass tolerance of 0,80 Da and a parent ion tolerance of 10,0 ppm. Oxidation of methionine and iodoacetamide derivatives of cysteine were specified in Sequest and X! Tandem as variable modifications. Scaffold (version 3.5.1, Proteome Software Inc., Portland, OR) was used to validate MS/MS based peptide and protein identifications. Peptide identifications were accepted if they could be established at greater than 95,0% probability as specified by the Peptide Prophet algorithm. Protein identifications were accepted if they could be established at greater than 99,0% probability and contained at least 2 identified peptides.

Project description:Sample preparation: P-AMPK+AMP, P-AMPK+ATPγS, and AMPK+ATPγS protein samples were crosslinked in HBST buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5 at room temperature, 200 mM NaCL, and 1 mM TCEP). Non-crosslinked negative controls were generated using the same procedure without the addition of DSSO. Reactions were initiated by spiking 1 uL of 75 mM DSSO (Thermo-Fisher) in DMSO into a 50 uL solution containing 10 uM protein and mixing. The final molar ratio of crosslinker:protein was 150:1. The reactions were incubated at 25°C for 45 minutes prior to being quenched by the addition of Tris pH 8.0 to a final concentration of 50 mM. Each crosslink reaction was done in triplicate and the reaction replicates were pooled after quenching. 10 μL samples of the pooled samples were loaded for SDS-PAGE analysis with Coomassie staining to confirm the presence of crosslinked protein. The remaining 140 μL of crosslinked and non-crosslinked samples were then acetone precipitated at -20°C overnight and the protein was pelleted by centrifugation at 16,000 rcf for 5 minutes at 4°C. After decanting, the pellets were dried for 15 minutes at room temperature before being resuspended in 12.5 uL of resuspension buffer (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 8M urea, pH 8.0). ProteaseMAX (Promega) was added to 0.02% and the solutions were mixed on an orbital shaker operating at 400 RPM for 5 minutes. After resuspension, 87.5 uL of digestion buffer (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 8.0) was added. Cysteines in the protein samples were reduced and akylated as follows. DTT was added to 5 mM final concentration and the protein solutions were incubated at 56°C in an orbital shaker operating at 400 RPM and for 20 minutes. After reduction, 2.7 uL of 550 mM iodoacetamide was added and the solutions were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 minutes. Reduced and alkylated protein solutions were digested using trypsin at a ratio of 1:200 (w/w trypsin:protein) and incubating at 37°C. After overnight incubation at 37°C, the samples were acidified by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, Thermo-Fischer) to 1%. Samples were then frozen and stored at -20°C until analysis.

Project description:Bacteria was grown at 30C in 3 different conditions, i.e. SYN (syngas and minimal medium- ATCC no 1789), AC (0.3% acetate in minimal medium- ATCC no 1789) and TSB (tryptic soy broth). After harvesting by centrifugation, O. carboxidovorans pellets (1g) were lysed in 100 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 2% Triton X-100, 2.6 mg/ml sodium azide, 8 mM PMSF by sonication on ice (4 pulses of 15 s duration each). For each condition of growth 4 samples (1g pellets) were separately treated (i.e. lysed and processed further). The supernatants were treated with 50% cold TCA, and the precipitated protein washed with acetone. The pellets were resuspended in solubilization buffer (7M urea, 20 mM tris-Cl, pH 8.0, 5 mM EDTA, 5 mM MgCl2, 4% CHAPS), and protein concentration was determined using the Plus One 2-D Quant Kit (Amersham) following the manufacturers instructions. Protein samples from each treatment were stored at -80 C. One hundred micrograms of each protein sample was resuspended in 0.1 M ammonium bicarbonate, 5% HPLC grade ACN, reduced in 5 mM DTT (65 C, 5 min), alkylated in 10 mM iodoacetamide (30 C, 30 min), and then trypsin digested until there was no visible pellet (1:50 w/w 37 C, 16 h). Peptides were desalted using a peptide microtrap (Michrom BioResources, Auburn, CA) and eluted using a 0.1% TFA, 95% ACN solution. Desalted peptides were dried in a vacuum centrifuge and resuspended in 20 ?l of 0.1% formic acid. Peptides were separated by strong cation exchange (SCX) liquid chromatography (LC) followed by reverse phase (RP) LC coupled directly in line with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). 2DLC ESI MS/MS was done exactly as described (1). All searches were done using TurboSEQUEST (Bioworks Browser 3.2; Thermo Electron). Mass spectra and tandem mass spectra were searched against all annotated proteins from the strain OM5 including all the annotated plasmid-encoded proteins. Cysteine carbamidomethylation and methionine oxidation (single and double) were included in the search strategy. We used the reverse database functionality in Bioworks 3.2 and searched MS2 data against a reversed OM5 database using identical search criteria.
