Project description:There is an urgent need for robust and high-throughput methods for SARS-CoV-2 detection in suspected pa-tient samples to facilitate disease management, surveillance, and control. Although nucleic acid detection methods such as RT-PCR are the gold standard, during the current pandemic the deployment of RT-PCR tests has been extremely slow, and key reagents such as PCR primers, and RNA extraction kits are at critical shortages. Rapid point-of-care viral antigen detec-tion methods have been previously employed for the diagnosis of respiratory viruses such as influenza and respiratory syn-cytial viruses. Therefore, the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens in patient samples could also be used for diagno-sis of active infection and alternative methodologies for specific and sensitive viral protein detection should be explored. Targeted mass spectrometry techniques have enabled the identification and quantitation of a defined subset of pro-teins/peptides at single amino acid resolution with attomole level sensitivity and high reproducibility. Herein we report a tar-geted mass spectrometry assay for the detection of SARS- CoV-2 spike protein and nucleoprotein in a relevant biologi-cal matrix. Recombinant full-length spike protein and nucleoprotein were digested and prototypic peptides were selected for parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) quantitation using a high resolution Orbitrap instrument. A spectral library, which con-tained 7 proteotypic peptides (4 from spike protein and 3 from nucleoprotein) and the top 3 to 4 transitionsMS2 spectra, was generated and evaluated. From the original spectral library, we selected 2 best performing peptides for the final PRM assay. The assay was evaluated using mock test samples containing inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virions, added to in-vitro de-rived mucus. The PRM assay provided a limit of detection (LOD) of ~200 attomoles and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of ~ 390 attomoles. Extrapolating from the test samples, the projected titer of virus particles necessary for detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleoprotein detection was approximately 2E5 viral particles/mL, making it an attractive alternative to RT-PCR assays. Potentially mass spectrometry-based methods for viral antigen detection may deliver higher throughput and could serve as a complementary diagnostic tool to RT-PCR. Furthermore, this assay could be used to evaluate the pres-ence of SARS-CoV-2 in archived or recently collected biological fluids, in-vitro derived research materials, and wastewater samples

Project description:Allosteric regulation is central to the role of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in cancer metabolism. Multiple activating and inhibitory allosteric ligands regulate PKM2 activity by controlling the equilibrium between high activity tetramers and low activity dimers and monomers. However, how allosteric inputs from simultaneous binding of different ligands are integrated to regulate PKM2 activity remains elusive. Here, we show that, [PKM2 activation and tetramerisation can be uncoupled as] in the presence of the allosteric inhibitor phenylalanine (Phe), saturating amounts of the activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (F-1,6-bP) can induce PKM2 tetramerisation, but fail to maximally increase enzymatic activity. We use a new computational framework to identify residues that mediate FBP-induced allostery and show that, while mutation of A327 and C358 do not abrogate the ability of F-1,6-BP to increase PKM2 activity, it prevents Phe from interfering with it. Our findings demonstrate a role for residues involved in FBP allostery in enabling the integration of allosteric input from Phe and reveal an allosteric cross-talk that underlies the co-ordinate regulation of PKM2 activity by distinct allosteric ligands. The absolute amount of the isoforms of PKM (PKM1/2) were quantified in the cell lines of interested to inform the described model.

Project description:The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) transcription factor activates cytoprotective and metabolic gene expression in response to various electrophilic stressors. In disease, constitutive NRF2 activity promotes cancer progression while decreased NRF2 function contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. In contrast to the regulation of NRF2 protein stability in the cytoplasm, co-complexed proteins that govern NRF2 activity on chromatin are less clear. Using biotin proximity proteomics, we report networks for NRF2 and its family members NRF1, NRF3 and the NRF2 heterodimer MAFG. We found that the Parkinson’s disease zinc finger transcription factor ZNF746 (PARIS) physically associated with NRF2 and MAFG, resulting in suppression of NRF2-driven transcription. ZNF746 expression increased oxidative stress and apoptosis, phenotypes that were reversed by chemical and genetic hyperactivation of NRF2. This study presents a functionally annotated proximity network for NRF2 and suggests that ZNF746 overexpression in Parkinson’s disease directly inhibits NRF2-driven neuroprotection.

Project description:Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) inhibits growth and is cytotoxic to bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in proteome of the yeast induced by HHcy and map N-homocysteinylated sites. We identified 38 up- and 32-down-regulated proteins as well as 244 N-homocysteinylation sites in 98 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; with 57 sites in 34 proteins occurring in vivo. The bioinformatics analysis indicated that the N-homocysteinylated proteins were involved in a wide range of cellular functions with mostly cytosolic and ribosomal localizations. Furthermore, we discovered that lysine N-homocysteinylation sites are surrounded by neutral, hydrophobic and buried amino acid residues, and 60% of them occur within helix. The KEGG enrichment pathway analysis of these N-Hcy-proteins suggested that N-homocysteinylation disrupts metabolism of amino acids, ribosome biogenesis and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. These findings suggest that protein N-homocysteinylation and dysregulation of cellular proteostasis affecting ribosomal proteins, biosynthesis of amino acids and changes in basic cellular pathways signaling are involved in the toxicity of HHcy in yeast. Homologous proteins are likely to be involved in HHcy toxicity in human and animal cells. We believe that the collection of N-homocysteinylation sites presented here is an important resource for future functional studies of N-homocysteinylation in yeast.

Project description:In situ profiling of subcellular proteomic networks in primary and living systems, such as primary cells from native tissues or clinic samples, is crucial for the understanding of life processes and diseases, yet challenging for the current proximity labeling methods (e.g., BioID, APEX) due to their necessity of genetic engineering. Here we report CAT-S, a state-of-the-art bioorthogonal photocatalytic chemistry-enabled proximity labeling method, that expands proximity labeling to a wide range of primary living samples for in situ profiling of subcellular proteomes. Powered by the newly introduced thioQM labeling warhead and targeted bioorthogonal photocatalytic decaging chemistry, CAT-S enables labeling of mitochondrial proteins in living cells with high efficiency and specificity (up to 87%). We applied CAT-S to diverse cell cultures, mouse tissues as well as primary T cells from human blood, portraying the native-state mitochondrial proteomic characteristics, and unveiled a set of hidden mitochondrial proteins in human proteome. Furthermore, CAT-S allows quantitative analysis of the in situ proteomic perturbations on dysfunctional tissue samples, exampled by diabetic mouse kidneys, and revealed the alterations of lipid metabolism machinery that drive the disease progression. Given the advantages of non-genetic operation, generality, efficiency as well as spatiotemporal resolution, CAT-S may open new avenues as a proximity labeling strategy for in situ investigation of subcellular proteomic landscape of primary living samples that are otherwise inaccessible.

Project description:Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) protects against genome instability by ensuring timely and accurate mitotic cell division, and its activity is tightly regulated throughout the cell cycle. Although the pathways that initially activate PLK1 in G2 are well-characterized, the factors that directly regulate PLK1 in mitosis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify that human PLK1 activity is sustained by the DNA damage response kinase Checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) in mitosis. Chk2 directly phosphorylates PLK1 T210, a residue on its T-loop whose phosphorylation is essential for full PLK1 kinase activity. Loss of Chk2-dependent PLK1 activity causes increased mitotic errors, including chromosome misalignment, chromosome missegregation, and cytokinetic defects. Moreover, Chk2 deficiency increases sensitivity to PLK1 inhibitors, suggesting that Chk2 status may be an informative biomarker for PLK1 inhibitor efficacy. This work demonstrates that Chk2 sustains mitotic PLK1 activity and protects genome stability through discrete functions in interphase DNA damage repair and mitotic chromosome segregation.

Project description:Novel insights on proteins involved in Alzheimer disease (AD) are needed. Since multiple cell types and matrix components are altered in AD, bulk analysis of brain tissue may be difficult to interpret. In the current study, we isolated pyramidal cells from the CA1 region of the hippocampus from five AD and five neurologically healthy donors using laser capture microdissection. The samples were analysed by proteomics using 18O labeled internal standard and nano-HPLC MS/MS for relative quantification. Fold change between AD and control was calculated for the proteins that were identified in at least two individual proteomes from each group. From the ten cases analyzed, sixty-two proteins were identified in at least two AD cases and two control cases. Creatine Kinase B-type (CKB), 14-3-3-g and Heat Shock Cognate 71 (Hsc71) which have not been extensively studied in the context of human AD brain previously, were selected for further studies by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In hippocampus, semi-quantitative measures of IHC staining of the three proteins confirmed the findings from our proteomic analysis. Studies of the same proteins in frontal cortex revealed that the alterations remained for CKB and 14-3-3-g but not for Hsc71. Protein upregulation in CA1 neurons of final stage AD is either a result from detrimental, pathological effects, or from cell specific protective response mechanisms in surviving neurons. Based on previous findings from experimental studies, CKB and Hsc71 likely exhibit protective effects, whereas 14-3-3-g represents a detrimental path. These new players could represent pathways of importance for development of new therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a robust proteomics method with the advantages of reproducibility and easy handling. This method is popular for the analysis of mammalian cells. However, amino acid conversion in bacteria decreases the labeling efficiency and quantification accuracy, limiting the application of SILAC in bacterial proteomics to auxotrophic bacteria or single labeling with lysine. In this study, we found that adding high concentrations of isotope-labeled (heavy) and natural (light) amino acids into SILAC minimal medium can efficiently inhibit the complicated amino acid conversions between each other. This simple and straightforward strategy facilitated the full incorporation of amino acids into the bacterial proteome with good accuracy. The high labeling efficiency can be reached in different bacteria by slightly modifying the supplement of amino acids in culture media, promoting the widespread application of SILAC technique in bacterial proteomics.
