Project description:Eukaryotic cytoplasm organizes itself via membrane-bound organelles and membrane-less biomolecular condensates (BMCs). Known BMCs exhibit liquid-like properties and are typically visualized on the scale of ~1 µm. They have been studied mostly by microscopy, examining select individual proteins. Here, we investigate the global organization of native cytoplasm with quantitative proteomics, using differential pressure filtration and dilution experiments. These assays revealed that BMCs form predominantly at the mesoscale of ~100 nm, which we validated via microscopy. Our data indicate that at least 18% of the proteome is organized via such mesoscale BMCs, suggesting that cells widely employ dynamic liquid-like clustering to organize their cytoplasm, at surprisingly small length scales.

Project description:During early embryonic cell divisions, the total nuclear volume doubles with each cycle. At a critical volume ratio between the nucleus and cytoplasm, embryos start transcribing their genome in a reproducible and sequential manner. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for these well-timed events remains unclear. Previous studies proposed that titration of a regulatory factor by the exponentially increasing DNA content of the system triggers the onset of the first transcripts. Nevertheless, a systematic investigation of nuclear proteome changes during development is still missing. In this study, we perform this investigation and find that differential nuclear import timing can largely explain the sequential onset of transcription. First, we investigated nuclear proteome changes in early development. We found that nuclear proteins sequentially titrate into the embryonic nuclei. Interestingly, transcription factors and RNA polymerases enter the nucleus at different times, which correspond to the activation of their nuclear functions. Notably, we observed a high correlation between when transcription factors enter the nucleus and the order in which they activate downstream transcription. Time-lapse imaging of protein import into nuclei encapsulated in droplets of cytoplasmic extract validated our discovery of the sequential nuclear import by mass spectrometry. Lastly, we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism responsible for the differential timing of protein entry into embryonic nuclei. To this end, we quantified the relative affinity of substrates to importin and observe that high-affinity substrates tend to enter the nucleus earlier than low-affinity substrates. Notably, we can explain > 36% of the observed time-variation of when proteins enter the nucleus in the embryo with this simple affinity assay. Together, our results suggest that embryos control protein entry into the nucleus by modulating importin affinities, which then determines the timing of essential nuclear processes in early development.

Project description:The ability of the TMTPro isobaric labeling reagents to form complementary ions for accurate multiplexed proteomics at the MS2 level was investigated. Human and yeast peptides were labeled in distinct ratios to analyze the effect of interference on the quantification accuracy. A method, TMTProC, was developed and optimized for accurate, sensitive MS2-level quantification of up to 8 conditions in one MS-run.

Project description:Fractionation is essential to achieving deep proteome coverage for sample multiplexing experiments where currently up to 18 samples can be analyzed concurrently. However, prefractionation (i.e., upstream of LC-MS/MS analysis) with a liquid chromatography system constrains sample processing as only a single sample can be fractionated at once. Here, we highlight the use of spin column-based methods which permit multiple multiplexed samples to be prefractionated simultaneously. These methods require only a centrifuge and eliminate the need for a dedicated liquid chromatograph. We investigate prefractionation with strong anion exchange (SAX) and high-pH reversed phase (HPRP) spin columns, as well as a combination of both, as methods of prefractionation. In two separate experiments, we acquired deep proteome coverage (>8,000 quantified proteins), while starting with only 25 µg of protein per channel. Our datasets showcase the proteome alterations in two human cell lines resulting from treatment with inhibitors acting on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We recommend this spin column-based prefractionation strategy for high-throughput screening applications or whenever a liquid chromatograph is not readily available.

Project description:Mass spectrometry-based sample multiplexing with isobaric tags permits the development of high-throughput and precise quantitative biological assays with proteome-wide coverage and minimal missing values. Here, we nearly double the multiplexing capability of the TMTpro reagent set to 35-plex through the incorporation of one deuterium isotope into the reporter group. Substituting deuterium frequently results in suboptimal peak co-elution, which can compromise the accuracy of reporter ion-based quantification. To counteract the impact of the deuterium effect on quantitation, we implemented a strategy that necessitated the segregation of non-deuterium and deuterium-containing channels into distinct sub-plexes during normalization procedures with reassembly through a common bridge channel. This multiplexing strategy of “design independent sub-plexes but acquire together” was used to compare protein expression differences between human cell lines and in a cysteine-profiling (e.g., chemoproteomics) experiment to identify compounds binding to cysteine-113 of Pin1.

Project description:Metabolic efficiency profoundly influences organismal fitness. Heterotrophs, from yeast to mammals, derive usable energy primarily through glycolysis and respiration. While respiration is more energy-efficient, some cells favor glycolysis even when oxygen is available (aerobic glycolysis, Warburg effect). A leading explanation is that glycolysis is more efficient in terms of ATP production per unit mass of protein (i.e. faster). Through quantitative flux analysis and proteomics, we find however that mitochondrial respiration is actually more proteome-efficient than aerobic glycolysis. This is shown across yeasts, T cells, cancer cells, and tissues and tumors in vivo. Instead of aerobic glycolysis being valuable for fast ATP production, it correlates with high glycolytic protein expression, which is valuable for hypoxic growth. Aerobic glycolytic yeasts do not excel at aerobic growth, but outgrow respiratory cells in oxygen limitation. Thus, aerobic glycolysis emerges from cells maintaining a proteome conducive to both aerobic and hypoxic growth.

Project description:In response to cold, mammals activate brown fat for respiratory-dependent thermogenesis reliant on the electron transport chain. Yet, the structural basis of respiratory complex adaptation to cold remains elusive. Herein we combined thermoregulatory physiology and cryo-EM to study endogenous respiratory supercomplexes exposed to different temperatures. A cold-induced conformation of CI:III2 (termed type 2) was identified with a ~25 rotation of CIII2 around its inter-dimer axis, shortening inter-complex Q exchange space, and exhibiting different catalytic states which favor electron transfer. Large-scale supercomplex simulations in lipid membrane reveal how unique lipid-protein arrangements stabilize type 2 complexes to enhance catalytic activity. Together, our cryo-EM studies, multiscale simulations and biochemical analyses unveil the mechanisms and dynamics of respiratory adaptation at the structural and energetic level.
