Project description:Proteomics, the temporal study of proteins expressed by an organism, is a powerful technique that can reveal how organisms respond to biological perturbations, such as disease and environmental stress. Yet, the use of proteomics for addressing ecological questions has been limited, partly due to inadequate protocols for the sampling and preparation of animal tissues from the field. Although RNAlater is an ideal alternative to freezing for tissue preservation in transcriptomics studies, its suitability for the field could be more broadly examined. Moreover, existing protocols require samples to be preserved immediately to maintain protein integrity, yet the effects of delays in preservation on proteomic analyses have not been thoroughly tested. Hence, we optimised a proteomic workflow for wild-caught samples. First, we conducted a preliminary in-lab test using SDS-PAGE analysis on aquaria-reared Octopus berrima confirming that RNAlater can effectively preserve proteins up to 6 h after incubation, supporting its use in the field. Subsequently, we collected arm tips from wild-caught Octopus berrima and preserved them in homemade RNAlater immediately, 3 h, and 6 h after euthanasia. Processed tissue samples were analysed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to ascertain protein differences between time delay in tissue preservation, as well as the influence of sex, tissue type, and tissue homogenisation methods. Over 3500 proteins were identified from all tissues, with bioinformatic analysis revealing protein abundances were largely consistent regardless of sample treatment. However, nearly 10 % additional proteins were detected from tissues homogenised with metal beads compared to liquid nitrogen methods, indicating the beads were more efficient at extracting proteins. Our optimised workflow demonstrates that sampling non-model organisms from remote field sites is achievable and can facilitate extensive proteomic coverage without compromising protein integrity.

Project description:Recent studies in non-human model systems have shown therapeutic potential of modified mRNA (modRNA) treatments for lysosomal storage diseases. Here, we assessed the efficacy of a modRNA treatment to restore the expression of the α-galactosidase (GLA) gene in a human cardiac model generated from induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived from two patients with Fabry disease. In line with the clinical phenotype, cardiomyocytes from Fabry patient’s induced pluripotent stem cells show accumulation of the glycosphinolipid Globotriaosylceramide (GB3), which is an α-galactosidase substrate. Further, the patient-specific cardiomyocytes have significant upregulation of lysosomal associated proteins. Upon modRNA treatment, a subset of lysosomal proteins were partially restored to wildtype levels, implying the rescue of the molecular phenotype associated with the Fabry genotype. Importantly, a significant reduction of GB3 levels was observed in GLA modRNA treated cardiomyocytes demonstrating that α-galactosidase enzymatic activity was restored. Together, our results validate the utility of patient IPSC-derived cardiomyocytes as a model to study disease processes in Fabry disease and the therapeutic potential of GLA modRNA treatment to reduce GB3 accumulation in the heart.

Project description:We used a limited proteolysis-coupled mass spectrometry approach to pinpoint binding sites of cortisol on SARS-CoV-2 S1. Binding target identification is based on the principle that small-ligand binding alters (increases or decreases) the protease accessibility of the target protein37,38. The binding of the ligand (cortisol) to the target protein (SARS-CoV-2 S1) induces perturbations/conformational changes at the binding sites which can lead to either facilitating or preventing proteolysis by non-specific proteases (thermolysin and trypsin)37,38. We subjected SARS-CoV-2 S1 incubated with either cortisol or vehicle to proteolysis by thermolysin followed by trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry-based identification of the resultant peptides. We found that cortisol either facilitated or prevented S1 proteolytic cleavage at discrete sites. Six unique peptides were identified that were only present for SARS-CoV-2 S1 incubated with either cortisol or vehicle.

Project description:People with HIV (PWH) experience an increased vulnerability to premature aging and inflammation-associated comorbidities, even when HIV replication is suppressed by antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the factors that contribute to or are associated with this vulnerability remain uncertain. In the general population, alterations in the glycomes of circulating IgGs trigger inflammation and precede the onset of aging-associated diseases. Here, we investigate the IgG glycomes of cross-sectional and longitudinal samples from 1,216 women and men, both living with virally suppressed HIV and those without HIV. Our glycan-based machine learning models indicate that living with chronic HIV significantly accelerates the accumulation of pro-aging associated glycomic alterations. Consistently, PWH exhibit heightened expression of senescence associated glycan-degrading enzymes compared to their controls. These glycomic alterations correlate with elevated markers of inflammatory aging and the severity of comorbidities, potentially preceding the development of such comorbidities. Mechanistically, HIV-specific antibodies glycoengineered with these alterations exhibit reduced anti-HIV IgG-mediated innate immune functions. These findings hold significant potential for the development of glycomic based biomarkers and tools to identify and prevent premature aging and comorbidities in people living with chronic viral infections.

Project description:Protein arginine (R) methylation is a post-translational modification that has been shown to play a role in various biological processes, such as RNA splicing, DNA repair, immune response, signal transduction and tumor development. Here, we present a dataset of high-quality methylations obtained from several different heavy methyl SILAC (hmSILAC) experiments analyzed with a machine learning model that was trained to recognize hmSILAC doublets and show that this model allows for improved high-confidence identification of methyl-peptides. The results of our analysis of the interactions between R-methylated proteins further support the idea that this modification plays a role in modulating protein:protein interactions and suggest a potential new role of R methylation in immunity and macrophage metabolism. Moreover, we intersect the methyl-site dataset with a phosphosite dataset to investigate the cross-talk between R methylation and phosphorylation. Finally, we explore the application of hmSILAC to identify unconventional methylated residues on both histone and non-histone proteins.

Project description:The protein import machinery is essential for chloroplast biogenesis, but knowledge on its exact functioning and the subunits involved in protein translocation is incomplete. Using TAP-tagged Toc159, we reproducibly identified a translocase interaction network that comprises in addition to known TOC members, the 1-MDa TIC complex, six FtsH/FtsHi proteases, Tic110, the KOC1 kinase and several other proteins, some of which with unknown function. The analysis of sub-complexes constituting the Toc159 interaction network in wildtype and a mutant defective in the 1-MDa TIC complex (tic56-3) revealed that the TOC and FtsH/FtsHi complex(es) accumulate independently of the TIC complex as do most other proteins in the network. An exception is a glycine-rich protein of 23 kDa that co-migrates with the 1-MDa complex and is co-regulated with its subunits in tic56-3. This protein was tentatively designated as Tic23. Tic23 abundance is significantly decreased in tic20-I mutant plants and the protein is completely absent from tic56-1 and Spectinomycin-treated wildtype plants lacking Tic214, suggesting a mutual dependency between its accumulation and intactness of the 1-MDa complex. Likewise, tic23-I mutants expressing reduced levels of Tic23 are pale-green and accumulate significantly decreased amounts of Tic20-I. Similar to tic56-3 plastids, the in vitro protein import capacity of tic23-I mutants is not affected. Taken together our results identify Tic23 as an additional component of the 1-MDa TIC complex that is required for complex stability and assembly while it serves complex-mediated functions other than protein import.

Project description:Here, we successfully used NO as the direct electron acceptor for the enrichment of a microbial community in a continuous bioreactor. The enrichment culture, mainly comprised of two new organisms from the Sterolibacteriaceae family, grew on NO reduction to N2 and formate oxidation, with virtually no accumulation of N2O. The microbial growth kinetics of the enrichment culture as well as its affinity for different N-oxides were determined. In parallel, using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics, the biochemical reactions underlying the growth of these microorganisms on NO were investigated. This study demonstrates that microorganisms thrive and can be enriched on NO, and presents new opportunities to study microbial growth on this highly energetic and climate-active molecule that may have been pivotal in the evolution of aerobic respiration.

Project description:Protein folding is assisted by molecular chaperones that bind nascent polypeptides during mRNA translation. Several structurally-distinct classes of chaperones promote de novo folding, suggesting that their activity is coordinated at the ribosome. Here we use biochemical reconstitution and structural proteomics to explore the molecular basis for cotranslational chaperone action in bacteria. We find that chaperone binding is disfavoured close to the ribosome, allowing folding to precede chaperone recruitment. Trigger factor subsequently recognises compact folding intermediates exposing extensive non-native surface and dictates DnaJ access to nascent chains. DnaJ uses a large surface to bind structurally diverse intermediates, and recruits DnaK to solvent-accessible sites in a sequence non-specific manner. Neither Trigger factor, DnaJ nor DnaK destabilize cotranslational folding intermediates. Instead, the chaperones collaborate to create a protected space for protein maturation that extends well beyond the ribosome exit tunnel. Our findings show how the chaperone network selects and modulates cotranslational folding intermediates.
