Project description:Cryptochromes were identified in plants and animals where they function as either photoreceptors or circadian clock components. In the filamentous fungus Neurospora, the biological function of cryptochrome has not yet been explored. Here, we demonstrate that Neurospora crassa cryptochrome (Nc cry) is a DASH-type of cryptochrome, capable of binding FAD and MTHF, whose transcript and protein levels are both strongly induced by blue light in a wc-1 dependent manner. Although the Nc cry transcript is circadian-regulated and antiphasic to frq, knockout strains of Nc cry appears to have a normal clock phenotype. Whole genome microarray and RT-QPCR analysis confirm that Nc cry is not involved in the signal transduction of either early or late light responses and seems to have no transcriptional regulatory activity under our laboratory conditions. Our study concludes that the only cryptochrome in Neurospora crassa is dispensable for the well-characterized blue light sensing cascade and is not part of the circadian clock system.

Keywords: light response Two-color microarray. Alexa Fluor 555 was consistently used to label cDNA synthesized from reference RNA, which is a mixture containing equal amounts of RNA samples harvested from different circadian time points and light treatment durations. The same batch of pooled RNA was used as a reference for each array experiment. Alexa Fluor 647 was used exclusively to label cDNA representing sample RNA.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 nsp7 and nsp8 are important cofactors of the RTC, as they interact and regulate the activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and other nspsHere we used solution-based structural proteomic techniques, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) and crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), illuminate the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 full-length nsp7, nsp8, and nsp7:nsp8 proteins and protein complex.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2, a human coronavirus, is the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, entailing enormous disruption worldwide. Its ~30 kb RNA genome is translated into two large polyproteins subsequently cleaved by viral papain-like protease and main protease (Mpro/nsp5). Polyprotein processing is essential yet incompletely understood. We studied Mpro-mediated processing of the nsp7-10/11 polyprotein, whose mature products are cofactors of the viral replicase, identifying the order of cleavages: 1) nsp9-10, 2) nsp8-9/nsp10-11, and 3) nsp7-8. Integrative modeling based on mass spectrometry (including hydrogen-deuterium exchange and cross-linking) and X-ray scattering yielded three-dimensional models of the nsp7-10/11 polyprotein, and the data suggest that the nsp7-10/11 structure in complex with Mpro strongly resembles the unbound polyprotein. Our array of techniques supports the notion that interplay between polyprotein conformation and junction accessibility determine the preference and order of cleavages. Finally, we leveraged assays of limited proteolysis by Mpro of nsp7-11 using a series of inhibitors/binders to characterize Mpro inhibition using a polyprotein substrate.

Project description:During co-translational translocation at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ribosomes can stall and become covalently modified with the ubiquitin-like protein UFM1 on the 60S ribosomal subunit RPL26 (uL24). This process, known as UFMylation, is mediated by the UFM1 Ribosome E3 Ligase (UREL) complex, comprised of UFL1, UFBP1, and CDK5RAP3. However, the functional consequences of UFMylation and catalytic mechanisms of UREL are unknown. Here, we present crosslinking-mass spectrometry (XL-MS) data of UREL bound to 60S ribosomes.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations in metabolism and physiology and are generated by the circadian clock. In fruit fly Drosophila, the circadian clock is generated by a transcription-translation feedback loop in which the positive arm components Clock and Cycle activate the expression of the Period and Timeless genes of negative arm, as well as other circadian clock-regulated genes. After being retained in the cytoplasm, the Period and Timeless proteins then migrate to the nucleus to inhibit the Clock/Cycle transactivity by protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The endogenous circadian clock is synchronized with the geological (solar) clock via photoreceptors. Drosophila Cryptochrome protein functions as a circadian photoreceptor. In the early morning, exposure of Cryptochrome to light causes a conformational change in it which results in the formation of new PPIs. Light-activated Cryptochrome interacts with the core clock protein Timeless and the E3 ubiquitin ligase-substrate adaptor protein Jetlag, which results in the ubiquitylation of Timeless by Jetlag-E3 ligase complex and then degradation of Timeless within minutes by proteasome system. Rapid degradation of Timeless and then its partner protein Period, because of its instability in the absence of Timeless, relieves the inhibition on the Clock/Cycle transcription factors suddenly. Therefore, Clock/Cycle-driven expression of circadian clock-regulated genes are induced again, which is the restart of the circadian oscillation or the resetting of the clock. Following Timeless degradation, Cryptochrome is also degraded so the photoreceptor mechanism does not start a new resetting signal until all the required factors are re-synthesized in a circadian manner. Light-dependent degradation of Drosophila Cryptochrome can be observed in Drosophila S2 cell line in culture. In this project, we aimed at finding the interactome of Cryptochrome protein in Drosophila S2 cell line under light and in the dark using proximity labeling method. Because of the fast kinetics of Cryptochrome degradation, we chose the enzymes that can saturate in less than one hour. TurboID (TID) and APEX2 enzymes label proteins with biotin in the proximity even though they work with different mechanisms. They were fused to Cryptochrome protein, and proximity labeling was performed in the dark or under light. We have identified novel light-dependent or -independent interactors of Drosophila Cryptochrome and confirmed some of them using classical coimmunoprecipitation technique.

Project description:Chemical-Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry (XLMS) using MS-cleavable crosslinkers is fast becoming an established technique in the study of protein-protein interactions for both small and large scale samples. With the increased uptake of XLMS as a technique, different combinations of crosslinker types, fragmentation strategies and analysis programs are being applied to a diverse array of biological samples. This study is focused on understanding how the three variables of an XLMS experiment – crosslinker type, fragmentation and program – could generate differences in identifications, leading to increased biological coverage of a sample. Here we probe for the first time, the known enzyme:substrate interaction between yeast arginine methyltransferase Hmt1p and its substrate, heterologous nucleolar protein Npl3p. We use this known interaction as a platform to compare two analysis programs, MeroX and XlinkX2.0, using two crosslinker types, DSSO and DSBU, and two mass-spectrometry fragmentation strategies, CID/ETD and SteppedHCD. Through these we also compare different algorithm strategies, Precursor and Reporter-Ion, as well as assess the impact of restricting data searches to lysine only crosslinks versus the inclusion of serine, threonine and tyrosine as reactive residues. From this analysis we show direct evidence of Hmt1p in contact with its known methylation sites on Npl3p, the intrinsically disordered “SRGG” region. We also show through our multi-crosslinker, multi-fragmentation and multi-software approach that two approaches leads to greater understanding and depth of a crosslinked sample, and this is due to some combinations of experimental variables creating greater coverage of crosslinks than others.

Project description:Studies using crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry on the proteome-wide level have spurred great interest as they facilitate structural probing of protein interactions in living cells or even organisms. Here we show, by using both an in-vitro mimic of a crowded cellular environment and eukaryotic cell lysates, that current proteome-wide crosslinking protocols have a bias for high abundant proteins. We demonstrate that this bias can be explained by kinetics that govern the formation of a crosslink between two polypeptides. We further show that optimized parameter settings, in particularly an excess of crosslinker, leadto a significant overall increase in the detection of lower abundant proteins within cellular lysates on a proteome-wide scale. Our study therefore explains the cause of a major limitation in current proteome-wide crosslinking studies and demonstrates a way forward how to address a larger part of the proteome by crosslinking

Project description:We have created a synthetic crosslinked peptide library to benchmark crosslinking mass spectrometry search engines. The unique benefit of the library is knowing which identified crosslinks are true and which are false. The data collected from mass spectrometry measurements of the peptide library were used to assess the most frequently used search algorithms. The datasets included will provide an important resource for the crosslinking community to evaluate and optimise search engines, results from which have far-reaching implications.
