Project description:This work comprehensively compared 50 mM of ammonium acetate (pH 6), Tris-HCl (pH 8), ABC and TEAB as in-solution trypsin digestion buffers. Both iTRAQ quantification and label-free results indicate that ammonium acetate (pH 6) is more suitable than other buffers for studying endogenous deamidation and N-glycosylation due to the significant decrease of artificial Asn deamidation in comparison to other buffers without affecting protein and peptide identification and Gln deamidation. Determination of the half-life of Asn deamidation in the four buffers further validates the conclusion. Our results also indicate that among the commonly used tryspin digestion buffers, ABC and TEAB are not suitable for studying Asn deamidation and N-glycosylation, but Tris-HCl may be used if trypsin digestion has to be done at around pH 8.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membranous structures capable of mediating intercellular communication. In the brain, the role(s) of EVs have been extensively studied in the context of neurological diseases, but their potential implications in the neuropathology underlying human mental disorders remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the potential role(s) of brain EVs in schizophrenia (SZ) by analyzing these vesicles from the three post-mortem anatomical brain regions: prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HC) and caudate (CAU), using next-generation discovery-driven proteomics. Our results indicate that EVs from SZ-affected brains present region-specific proteins associated with abnormal GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission, as well as alterations in proteins involved in synaptic decay, abnormal brain immunity, neuronal structural imbalances and impaired cell homeostasis. Our findings also provide the first evidence that molecular exchange networks are potentially active and mediated by EVs in cognitively healthy brains. These EV-mediated networks were partially reversed and largely disrupted in brains affected by SZ.

Project description:Here we exploit the essential process of X-chromosome dosage compensation to elucidate basic mechanisms that control the assembly, genome-wide binding, and function of gene regulatory complexes that act over large chromosomal territories. We demonstrate that a subunit of C. elegans MLL/COMPASS, a gene-activation complex, acts within the dosage compensation complex (DCC), a condensin complex, to target the DCC to both X chromosomes of hermaphrodites and thereby reduce chromosome-wide gene expression. The DCC binds to two categories of sites on X: rex sites that recruit the DCC in an autonomous, sequence- dependent manner, and dox sites that reside primarily in promoters of expressed genes and bind the DCC robustly only when attached to X. We find that DCC mutants that abolish rex-site binding do not eliminate dox-site binding, but instead reduce it to the level observed at autosomal binding sites in wild-type animals. Changes in DCC binding to these non-rex sites occur throughout development and correlate with transcriptional activity of adjacent genes. Moreover, autosomal DCC binding is enhanced by rex-site binding in cis in X-autosome fusion chromosomes. Thus, dox and autosomal sites exhibit similar binding properties. Our data support a model for DCC binding in which low-level DCC binding at dox and autosomal sites is dictated by intrinsic properties correlated with high transcriptional activity. Sex-specific DCC recruitment to rex sites then greatly elevates DCC binding to dox sites in cis, which lack intrinsically high DCC affinity on their own. We also show here that the C. elegans DCC achieves dosage compensation through its effects on transcription.

Project description:Sodium deoxycholate (SDC) is MS-compatible ionic detergent which is compatible with in-solution tryptic digestion. SDC is removed from tryptic digested mixtures easily by acid precipitation and it has been demonstrated its capacity to increase trypsin activity. Additionally, and on the contrary to urea, SDC does not generate carbamylation side-products. Here, we report an optimized SDC-based shotgun proteomics sample preparation methods for blood-based protein biomarker research applied to human plasma. We show that an important subset of peptides was co-precipitated with the SDC salts and was recovered by a sequencial extraction of the SDC pellet by re-solubilization and precipitation.

Project description:The spike is the main protein component of the SARS-CoV-2 virion surface. The spike receptor-binding motif mediates recognition of the hACE2 receptor, a critical infection step, and is the preferential target for spike-neutralizing antibodies. Post-translational modifications of the spike receptor-binding motif can modulate viral infectivity and immune response. We studied the spike protein searching for asparagine deamidation, a spontaneous event that leads to the appearance of aspartic and isoaspartic residues, affecting both the protein backbone and its charge. We used computational prediction and biochemical experiments to identify five deamidation hotspots in the SARS-CoV-2 spike. Asparagine residues 481 and 501 from the receptor-binding motif deamidate with a half-time of 16.5 and 123 days at 37 °C, respectively. Deamidation is significantly slowed down at 4 °C, pointing at a strong dependence of spike molecular aging on the environmental conditions. We demonstrate that topological constraints drive the conservation of deamidation hotspots among Sarbecoviruses spike proteins. Deamidation of the spike receptor-binding motif decreases the equilibrium constant for binding to the hACE2 receptor more than 3.5-fold, yet its high conservation pattern suggests some positive effect on viral fitness. We propose a model for deamidation of the full SARS-CoV-2 virion that illustrates how deamidation of the spike receptor-binding motif leads to the accumulation on the virion surface of a non-negligible chemically diverse spike population in a timescale of days. Our findings provide a mechanism for molecular aging of the spike, with significant consequences for understanding virus infectivity and vaccine development.

Project description:Investigating the molecular basis and correlates of anxiety-related and depression-like behaviors, we generated a mouse model consisting of high (HAB), normal (NAB) and low (LAB) anxiety-related behavior mice. We utilized the elevated plus-maze for testing the genetic predisposition to anxiety-related behavior and, consequently, used this as selection criterion for the inbreeding of our animals. In depression-related tests, HAB mice display a more passive, depression-like coping strategy than LAB mice, resembling clinical comorbidity of anxiety and depression as observed in psychiatric patients. Using a microarray approach, the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the basolateral (BLA) and central amygdala (CeA), the cingulate cortex (Cg) and the dentate gyrus (DG) – centers of the central nervous anxiety and fear circuitries – were investigated and screened for differences between HAB, NAB and LAB mice. Analysis was performed from four to six animals per line (HAB, NAB and LAB from generation 25, respectively) per brain region, giving a total of 78 individual arrays analyzed. The LAB mouse line is referred to as reference.

Project description:Noroviruses are non-enveloped (+) single stranded RNA viruses of the Caliciviridae family that cause an estimated 20 % of gastroenteritis cases worldwide . The virus possesses an icosahedral capsid, build by the two structural proteins VP1 and VP2. Noroviruses of genogroup II, especially GII.4, dominated in the majorities of outbreaks in the last two decades. In the last years, a novel GII.17 strain has also emerged in Asia. The major capsid protein VP1 builds dimers that are divided into the inner shell (S) domain and the outward-facing protruding (P) domain. The P domain is further divided into P1 and P2 subdomains, of which P2 is essential for host immune response and binds to histo blood-group antigens (HBGAs) for cell attachment in a strain-dependent manner, but the exact mechanism of cell attachment and entry remains unclear. Recently, a spontaneous deamidation of N373 with subsequent formation of an iso-aspartate (iD) was identified in GII.4 Saga P dimers that strongly attenuates glycan binding. This deamidation appears to be site specific and occurs in GII.4 MI001 P dimers as well, whereas it is absent in GII.10 Vietnam 026 and GII.17 Kawasaki 308 P dimers, which carry an Asp at the equivalent position. Given their high structural similarity with at the same time strain-dependent glycan binding behavior, we wanted to study if glycan binding induces different dynamic changes in P dimers of different strains using Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS). Furthermore, we wanted to examine the structural effects of fucose binding to a mixture of wildtype and deamidated GII.4 MI001 and GII.4 Saga P dimers, to get more insights about the dynamic changes induced by N373 deamidation. Our results suggest identical glycan binding behavior of the almost identical GII.4 Saga and GII.4 MI001 strains, but reveal different glycan induced dynamics in GII.17 Kawasaki 308 and GII.10 Vietnam 026. Furthermore, all strains apart from GII.4 Saga form a second P domain species that is highly protected from HDX . In mixtures of wildtype and N373 deamidated GII.4 P dimers, fucose binding leads to different structural dynamics than in pure wildtype, indicating that the deamidated species could have a biological function in vivo.
