Non-Refoldability is Pervasive Across the E. coli Proteome

ABSTRACT: Decades of protein folding research have focused on a small, privileged subset of proteins that can reversibly refold upon denaturation. However, these proteins are not necessarily representative of the complexity of natural proteomes, which consist of many proteins with more sophisticated architectures. Here, we introduce an experimental approach to probe the refolding of whole proteomes. To accomplish this, we first unfold and refold E. coli lysates, and then interrogate the resulting protein structures usin a permissive enzyme that preferentially cleaves at more flexible regions. Using mass spectrometry, we analyze the digestion patterns to globally assess structural differences between native and “refolded” proteins. These studies reveal that many soluble proteins are incapable of navigating back to their native structures upon chemical denaturation, highlighting the role of exogenous factors and processes such as molecular chaperones or co-translational folding for efficient protein folding.

FLiPPR: A Processor for Limited Proteolysis (LiP) Mass Spectrometry Datasets Built on FragPipe

Project description:Here, we present FLiPPR, or FragPipe LiP (limited proteolysis) Processor, a tool that facilitates the analysis of data from limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) experiments following primary search and quantification in FragPipe. LiP-MS has emerged as a method that can provide proteome-wide information on protein structure and has been applied to a range of biological and biophysical questions. Although LiPMS can be carried out with standard laboratory reagents and mass spectrometers, analyzing the data can be slow and poses unique challenges compared to typical quantitative proteomics workflows. To address this, we leverage the fast, sensitive, and accurate search and label-free quantification algorithms in FragPipe and then process its output in FLiPPR. FLiPPR formalizes a specific data imputation heuristic that carefully uses missing data in LiP-MS experiments to report on the most significant structural changes. Moreover, FLiPPR introduces a new data merging scheme (from ions to cut-sites) and a protein-centric multiple hypothesis correction scheme, collectively enabling processed LiP-MS datasets to be more robust and less redundant. These improvements substantially strengthen statistical trends when previously published data are reanalyzed with the FragPipe/FLiPPR workflow. As a final feature, FLiPPR facilitates the collection of structural metadata to identify correlations between experiments and structural features. We hope that FLiPPR will lower the barrier for more users to adopt LiP-MS, standardize statistical procedures for LiP-MS data analysis, and systematize output to facilitate eventual larger-scale integration of LiP-MS data.

A Proteome-Wide Map of Chaperone-Assisted Protein Refolding in a Cytosol-like Milieu

Project description:The journey by which proteins navigate their energy landscapes to their native structures is complex, involving (and sometimes requiring) many cellular factors and processes operating in partnership with a given polypeptide chain’s intrinsic energy landscape. The cytosolic environment and its complement of chaperones play critical roles in granting proteins safe passage to their native states; however, the complexity of this medium has generally precluded biophysical techniques from interrogating protein folding under cellular-like conditions for single proteins, let alone entire proteomes. Here, we develop a limited-proteolysis mass spectrometry approach paired within an isotope-labeling strategy to globally monitor the structures of refolding E. coli proteins in the cytosolic medium and with the chaperones, GroEL/ES (Hsp60) and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE (Hsp70/40). GroEL can refold the majority (85%) of the E. coli proteins for which we have data, and is particularly important for restoring acidic proteins and proteins with high molecular weight, trends that come to light because our assay measures the structural outcome of the refolding process itself, rather than indirect measures like binding or aggregation. For the most part, DnaK and GroEL refold a similar set of proteins, supporting the view that despite their vastly different structures, these two chaperones both unfold misfolded states, as one mechanism in common. Finally, we identify a cohort of proteins that are intransigent to being refolded with either chaperone. The data support a model in which chaperone-nonrefolders have evolved to fold efficiently once and only once, co-translationally, and remain kinetically trapped in their native conformations.

Universal protein misfolding intermediates can bypass the proteostasis network and remain soluble and non-functional

Project description:Using coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations of the synthesis, termination, and post-translational dynamics of a representative set of cytosolic E. coli proteins, we predict that half of all proteins exhibit subpopulations of misfolded conformations that are likely to bypass molecular chaperones, avoid aggregation, and not be degraded. These misfolded states may persist for months or longer for some proteins. Structurally characterizing these misfolded states, we observe they have a large amount of native structure, but also contain localized misfolded regions from non-native changes in entanglement. These misfolded states are native-like, suggesting they may bypass the proteostasis machinery to remain soluble. In terms of function, we predict that one-third of proteins have subpopulations that misfold into less-functional states that remain soluble. To experimentally test for the presence of entanglements and the kinetic persistence of these states we ran protease digestion mass spectrometry on glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. We find that the common changes in its digestion pattern at 1 min, 5 min, and 120 min are explained by our predicted near-native entangled states. These results suggest an explanation for how proteins misfold into soluble, non-functional conformations that bypass cellular quality controls across the E. coli proteome.

Nucleosome mapping of Tetrahymena thermophila chromatin in vivo and in vitro

Project description:A conserved hallmark of eukaryotic chromatin architecture is the distinctive array of well-positioned nucleosomes downstream of transcription start sites (TSS). Recent studies indicate that trans-acting factors establish this stereotypical array. Here, we present the first genome-wide in vitro and in vivo nucleosome maps for the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. In contrast with previous studies in yeast, we find that the stereotypical nucleosome array is preserved in the in vitro reconstituted map, which is governed only by the DNA sequence preferences of nucleosomes. Remarkably, this average in vitro pattern arises from subsets of nucleosomes, rather than the whole array, being present in individual Tetrahymena genes. Variation in GC content contributes to the positioning of these sequence-directed nucleosomes, and affects codon usage and amino acid composition in genes. We propose that these ‘seed’ nucleosomes may aid the AT-rich Tetrahymena genome – which is intrinsically unfavorable for nucleosome formation – in establishing nucleosome arrays in vivo in concert with trans-acting factors, while minimizing changes to the coding sequences they are embedded within. All data are from the macronuclear genome.

Discovery of the Xenon-Protein Interactome using Large-Scale Measurements of Protein Folding and Stability

Project description:The intermolecular interactions of noble gases in biological systems are associated with numerous biochemical responses, including apoptosis, inflammation, anesthesia, analgesia, and neuroprotection. The molecular modes of action underlying these responses are largely unknown. This is in large part due to the limited experimental techniques to study protein-gas interactions. The few techniques that are amenable to such studies are relatively low throughput and require large amounts of purified proteins. Thus, they do not enable the large-scale analyses that are useful for protein-target discovery. Here we report the application of Stability of Proteins from Rates of Oxidation (SPROX) and limited proteolysis (LiP) methodologies to detect protein-xenon interactions on the proteomic scale using protein folding stability measurements. Over 5,000 methionine-containing peptides and semi-tryptic peptides, mapping to ~1,500 and ~950 proteins in a yeast cell lysate, respectively, were assayed for Xe-interacting activity using the SPROX and LiP techniques. The SPROX and LiP analyses identified 31 and 60 Xe-interacting proteins, respectively, none of which were previously known to bind Xe. A bioinformatics analysis of the proteomic results revealed that these Xe-interacting proteins were enriched in those involved in ATP-driven processes. A fraction of the protein targets that were identified is tied to previously established modes of action related to xenon’s anesthetic and organoprotective properties. These results enrich our knowledge and understanding of biologically relevant xenon interactions, and the sample preparation protocols and analytical methodologies developed here for xenon should be applicable to the discovery of a wide range of protein-gas interactions in complex biological mixtures, including cell lysates.

Mapping the peptide binding groove of MHC class I

Project description:An essential element of adaptive immunity is the selective binding of peptide antigens by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I proteins and their presentation to cytotoxic T lymphocytes on the cell surface. Using native mass spectrometry, we here analyze the binding of peptides to an empty disulfide-stabilized HLA-A*02:01 molecule. This novel approach allows us to examine the binding properties of diverse peptides. The unique stability of our MHC class I even enables us to determine the binding affinity of complexes, which are suboptimally loaded with truncated or charge-reduced peptides. Notably, a unique erucamide adduct decouples affinity analysis from peptide identity alleviating issues usually attributed to clustering. We discovered that two anchor positions at the binding surface between MHC and peptide can be stabilized independently and further analyze the contribution of other peptidic amino acids on the binding. We propose this as an alternative, likely universally applicable method to artificial prediction tools to estimate the binding strength of peptides to MHC class I complexes quickly and efficiently. This newly described MHC class I-peptide binding affinity quantitation represents a much needed orthogonal, confirmatory approach to existing computational affinity predictions and has the potential to eliminate binding affinity biases and thus accelerate drug discovery in infectious diseases autoimmunity, vaccine design, and cancer immunotherapy.

Dissociation of β2m from MHC Class I triggers formation of noncovalent, transient heavy chain dimers

Project description:At the plasma membrane of mammalian cells, major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC-I) present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T cells. Following the loss of the peptide and the light chain beta-2 microglobulin (beta2m), the resulting free heavy chains (FHCs) can associate into homotypic complexes in the plasma membrane. Here, we investigate the stoichiometry and dynamics of MHC-I FHCs assemblies by combining a micropattern assay with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and with single molecule co-tracking. We identify non-covalent MHC-I FHC dimers mediated by the alpha-3 domain as the prevalent species at the plasma membrane, leading a moderate decrease in the diffusion coefficient. MHC-I FHC dimers show increased tendency to cluster into higher order oligomers as concluded from an increased immobile fraction with higher single molecule colocalization. In vitro studies with isolated proteins in conjunction with molecular docking and dynamics simulations suggest that in the complexes, the alpha-3 domain of one FHC binds to another FHC in a manner similar to the beta2m light chain.

Large-Scale Analysis of Breast Cancer-Related Conformational Changes in Proteins using Limited Proteolysis

Project description:Conformational changes in proteins can lead to disease. Thus, methods for identifying conformational changes in proteins can further improve our understanding and facilitate detection of disease states. Here we combine limited proteolysis (LiP) with Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino Acids in Cell Culture (SILAC) to characterize breast cancer-related conformational changes in proteins on the proteomic scale. Studied here are the conformational properties of proteins in two cell culture models of breast cancer, including the MCF-10A and MCF-7 cell lines. The SILAC-LiP approach described here identified ~200 proteins with cell-line dependent conformational changes, as determined by their differential susceptibility to proteolytic digestion using the non-specific protease, proteinase K. The protease susceptibility profiles of the proteins in these cell lines were compared to thermodynamic stability and expression level profiles previously generated for proteins in these same breast cancer cell lines. The comparisons revealed that there was little overlap between the proteins with protease susceptibility changes and the proteins with thermodynamic stability and/or expression level changes. Thus, the large-scale conformational analysis described here provides unique insight into the molecular basis of the breast cancer phenotypes in this study.
