Chemical proteomic map of dimethyl fumarate-sensitive cysteines in primary human T cells.

ABSTRACT: Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an electrophilic drug that is used to treat autoimmune conditions, including multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. The mechanism of action of DMF is unclear but may involve the covalent modification of proteins or DMF serving as a prodrug that is converted to monomethyl fumarate (MMF). We found that DMF, but not MMF, blocked the activation of primary human and mouse T cells. Using a quantitative, site-specific chemical proteomic platform, we determined the DMF sensitivity of >2400 cysteine residues in human T cells. Cysteines sensitive to DMF, but not MMF, were identified in several proteins with established biochemical or genetic links to T cell function, including protein kinase C? (PKC?). DMF blocked the association of PKC? with the costimulatory receptor CD28 by perturbing a CXXC motif in the C2 domain of this kinase. Mutation of these DMF-sensitive cysteines also impaired PKC?-CD28 interactions and T cell activation, designating the C2 domain of PKC? as a key functional, electrophile-sensing module important for T cell biology.

Project description:Molecular profiling of human primary cell types is essential for holistic understanding of human biology. Here we present a map of 28 human primary cell types with comprehensive measurements of expressed transcripts and proteins. Three major clusters of epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal cell types were observed both at transcriptome and proteome level along with discovery of several cell type specific proteins. Among them, we characterized the novel epithelial specific protein C1orf116 which was further validated with immunohistochemistry across various human tissues. Comprehensive proteome profiling across cell types allowed characterization of ten orphan proteins including TMEM252 and TM4SF18 which lacked protein level evidence. Exhaustive protein database search considering 27 biologically relevant post-translational modifications and 12 chemical modifications was performed, thanks to the increased performance of cloud-based search engine. This, for the first time, provided the catalog of post-translational modifications across cell types, which serve as a resource of PTMs for future studies. We characterized proteins such as protein EEF1A1with various types of PTMs and understudied PTMs including histidine methylation, and O-acetylation of serine. Interestingly, the unexpected higher frequency of dioxidation on tryptophan than that of methionine led us to characterize oxidative mitochondria complex subunit proteins modified through oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, which was mostly considered as chemical artifact so far. Overall, these indicated that considering various PTMs during protein database search from non-enriched samples could be routinely used in proteomics experiments. Further, protein database search strategy considering alternative translational start sites, splice junctions, and translational readthrough provided a unique opportunity to refine genome annotation with their proteomic evidence. We believe that our data with the large catalog of transcriptome and proteome of normal human primary cells provide a cornerstone for holistic understanding of cell biology.
