Using Heavy Mass Isotopomers for Protein Turnover in Heavy Water Metabolic Labeling.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic labeling followed by LC-MS-based proteomics is a powerful tool to study proteome dynamics in high-throughput experiments both in vivo and in vitro. High mass resolution and accuracy allow differentiation in isotope profiles and the quantification of partially labeled peptide species. Metabolic labeling duration introduces a time domain in which the gradual incorporation of labeled isotopes is recorded. Different stable isotopes are used for labeling. Labeling with heavy water has advantages because it is cost-effective and easy to use. The protein degradation rate constant has been modeled using exponential decay models for the relative abundances of mass isotopomers. The recently developed closed-form equations were applied to study the analytic behavior of the heavy mass isotopomers in the time domain of metabolic labeling. The predictions from the closed-form equations are compared with the practices that have been used to extract degradation rate constants from the time-course profiles of heavy mass isotopomers. It is shown that all mass isotopomers, except for the monoisotope, require data transformations to obtain the exponential depletion, which serves as a basis for the rate constant model. Heavy mass isotopomers may be preferable choices for modeling high-mass peptides or peptides with a high number of labeling sites. The results are also applicable to stable isotope labeling with other atom-based labeling agents.

Project description:Mounting evidence has shown that the accumulation of senescent cells in the central nervous system contributes to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest that typically occurs in response to exposure to sub-lethal stresses. However, like other non-dividing cells, senescent cells remain metabolically active and carry out many functions that require unique transcriptional and translational demands and widespread changes in the intracellular and secreted proteomes. Understanding how protein synthesis and decay rates change during senescence can illuminate the underlying mechanisms of cellular senescence and find potential therapeutic avenues for diseases exacerbated by senescent cells. This paper describes a method for proteome-scale evaluation of protein half-lives in non-dividing cells using pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (pSILAC) in combination with mass spectrometry. pSILAC involves metabolic labeling of cells with stable heavy isotope-containing versions of amino acids. Coupled with modern mass spectrometry approaches, pSILAC enables the measurement of protein turnover of hundreds or thousands of proteins in complex mixtures. After metabolic labeling, the turnover dynamics of proteins can be determined based on the relative enrichment of heavy isotopes in peptides detected by mass spectrometry. In this protocol, a workflow is described for the generation of senescent fibroblast cultures and similarly arrested quiescent fibroblasts, as well as a simplified, single-time point pSILAC labeling time-course that maximizes coverage of anticipated protein turnover rates. Further, a pipeline is presented for the analysis of pSILAC mass spectrometry data and user-friendly calculation of protein degradation rates using spreadsheets. The application of this protocol can be extended beyond senescent cells to any non-dividing cultured cells such as neurons.
