Project description:Mitochondrial mutations have the potential to act as natural barcodes that allow the tracking of heterogenous cell populations at the single cell level, but thus far, the dynamics of mitochondrial mutations across time and tissue compartments have not been extensively studied. This dataset was generated using mtscATAC-seq to track mitochondrial mutations in peripheral blood, bone marrow and lymph node from 9 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) across different clinical scenarios. Our in-depth analysis reveals different patterns of dynamisms in mitochondrial mutations in patients undergoing watchful waiting, chemotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR), allogeneic stem cell transplantation, ibrutinib treatment or transformation to Richter’s syndrome. We provide evidence that mitochondrial mutations can link CLL subclones with distinct chromatin cell states. Mitochondrial mutations appear to recapitulate disease history in CLL, providing patient-level support of the concept of in vivo natural barcodes as a means for understanding clonal dynamics in cancer.

Project description:Detecting strain-specific barcodes with mass spectrometry can facilitate the screening of genetically engineered bacterial libraries. Here, we introduce intact protein barcoding, a method to measure protein-based library barcodes and metabolites using flow-injection mass spectrometry (FI-MS). Protein barcodes are based on ubiquitin with N-terminal tags of six amino acids. We demonstrate that FI-MS detects intact ubiquitin proteins and identifies the mass of N-terminal barcodes. In the same analysis, we measured relative concentrations of primary metabolites. We constructed 6 ubiquitin-barcoded CRISPRi strains targeting metabolic enzymes, and analyzed their metabolic profiles and ubiquitin barcodes. FI-MS detected barcodes and distinct metabolome changes in CRISPRi-targeted pathways. We demonstrate the scalability of intact protein barcoding by measuring 132 ubiquitin barcodes in microtiter plates. These results show that intact protein barcoding enables fast and simultaneous detection of library barcodes and intracellular metabolites, opening up new possibilities for mass spectrometry-based barcoding.
