Next-generation proteomics for quantitative Jumbophage-bacteria interaction mapping.

ABSTRACT: Host-pathogen interactions are pivotal in regulating establishment, progression, and outcome of an infection. While affinity-purification mass spectrometry has become instrumental in characterizing such interactions, it suffers from limitations in scalability and biological authenticity. Here we present the use of co-fractionation mass spectrometry for high throughput analysis of host-pathogen interactions from native viral infections of two jumbophages (ϕKZ and ϕPA3) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This approach enabled the detection of > 6000 unique host-pathogen interactions for each phage, encompassing > 50% of their respective proteomes. This deep coverage provided evidence for interactions between KZ-like phage proteins and the host ribosome, and revealed protein complexes for previously
