Proteomic discovery of chemical probes that perturb protein complexes in human cells

ABSTRACT: Most proteins in the human proteome lack chemical probes, and several large-scale and generalizable small-molecule binding assays have been introduced to address this problem. How compounds discovered in such “binding-first” assays affect protein function, nonetheless, often remains unclear. Here, we describe a “function first” proteomic strategy that uses size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to assess the global impact of electrophilic compounds on protein complexes in human cells. Integrating the SEC data with cysteine-directed activity-based profiling identifies changes in protein-protein interactions that are caused by site-specific liganding events, including the stereoselective engagement of cysteines in PSME1 and SF3B1 that disassemble the PA28 proteasome regulatory complex and remodel the spliceosome, respectively. Our findings thus show how multidimensional proteomic analysis of focused libraries of electrophilic compounds can expedite the discovery of chemical probes with site-specific functional effects on protein complexes in human cells. In this experiment, we probed the RNA-binding profile of DDX42 by eCLIP via an endogenously introduced HA-tag in the context of various SF3B1 ligands.

An Activity-Guided Map of Electrophile-Cysteine Interactions in Primary Human T Cells

Project description:Electrophilic compounds originating from nature or chemical synthesis have profound effects on immune cells. These compounds are thought to act by cysteine modification to alter the functions of immune-relevant proteins; however, our understanding of electrophile-sensitive cysteines in the human immune proteome remains limited. Here, we present a global map of cysteines in primary human T cells that are susceptible to covalent modification by electrophilic small molecules. More than 3,000 covalently liganded cysteines were found on functionally and structurally diverse proteins, including many that play fundamental roles in immunology. We further show that electrophilic compounds can impair T cell activation by distinct mechanisms involving the direct functional perturbation and/or degradation of proteins. Our findings reveal a rich content of ligandable cysteines in human T cells and point to electrophilic small molecules as a fertile source for chemical probes and ultimately therapeutics that modulate immunological processes and their associated disorders.

Direct mapping of ligandable tyrosines and lysines in cells with chiral sulfonyl fluoride probes

Project description:Advances in chemoproteomic technology have revealed covalent interactions between small molecules and protein nucleophiles, primarily cysteine, on a proteome-wide scale. Most chemoproteomic screening approaches are indirect, relying on competition between electrophilic fragments and a minimalist electrophilic probe with inherently limited proteome coverage. Here, we develop a chemoproteomic platform for direct electrophile-site identification based on enantiomeric pairs of clickable arylsulfonyl fluoride probes. Using stereoselective site modification as a proxy for ligandability in intact cells, we identified 634 tyrosines and lysines within functionally diverse protein sites, liganded by structurally diverse probes. Among multiple validated sites, we discovered a chiral probe that modifies Y228 in the MYC binding site of the epigenetic regulator WDR5, as revealed by a high-resolution crystal structure. A distinct chiral probe stimulates tumor cell phagocytosis by covalently modifying Y387 in the recently discovered immuno-oncology target, APMAP. Our work provides a deep resource of ligandable tyrosines and lysines for the development of covalent chemical probes.

SF3B1 association with chromatin determines splicing outcomes

Project description:Much remains unknown concerning the mechanism by which the splicing machinery pinpoints short exons within intronic sequences and how splicing factors are directed to their pre-mRNA targets. Part of the explanation probably lies in differences in chromatin organization between exons and introns. Proteomic, co-immunoprecipitation, and sedimentation analyses described here indicated that SF3B1, an essential splicing component of the U2 snRNP complex, is strongly associated with nucleosomes. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed that SF3B1 is specifically bound to nucleosomes located at exonic positions. SF3B1 binding is enriched at nucleosomes positioned over short exons flanked by long introns that are also characterized by differential GC content between exons and introns. Disruption of SF3B1 binding to such nucleosomes affected the splicing of these exons similarly to inhibition of SF3B1 expression. Our findings suggest that the association of SF3B1 with nucleosomes is functionally important for splice site recognition and that SF3B1 conveys splicing-relevant information embedded in chromatin structure. MNase-seq on Input and SF3B1 pull-down, mRNA-seq on control and SF3B1 si-RNA treated cells as well as on TSA (Trichostatin A) treated and untreated cells.

Remodeling oncogenic transcriptomes by small molecules targeting NONO

Project description:A large swath of the human proteome is dedicated to mRNA homeostasis, but most RNA-binding proteins lack chemical probes. Here, we report the discovery through phenotypic screening of electrophilic small molecules that swiftly (within 4 h) and stereospecifically decrease transcripts encoding the androgen receptor (AR) and its major V7 splice variant in human prostate cancer cells. We show by chemical proteomics that these compounds covalently engage cysteine-145 of the RNA-binding protein NONO. Broader profiling revealed that covalent NONO ligands suppress a discrete set of transcripts and proteins, including multiple oncogenic transcription factors, and impair the proliferation of cancer cells. These effects were not observed following genetic disruption of NONO, which instead blocked ligand activity. The covalent ligands promote accumulation of NONO in nuclear foci and at the first 5’ splice site of immature transcripts, pointing to a trapping mechanism that may prevent the compensatory action of the paralogous proteins PSPC1 and SFPQ, which were found to increase in cancer cells following genetic or chemical perturbation of NONO. These findings, taken together, designate NONO as a druggable RNA-binding protein that can be co-opted by covalent small molecules to suppress pro-tumorigenic transcriptional networks.

Mapping Protein Targets of Bioactive Small Molecules using Lipid-Based Chemical Proteomics

Project description:Lipids play critical roles in cell biology, often through direct interactions with proteins. We recently described the use of photoreactive lipid probes combined with quantitative mass spectrometry to globally map lipid-protein interactions, and the effects of drugs on these interactions, in cells. Here, we investigate the broader potential of lipid-based chemical proteomic probes for determining the cellular targets of biologically active small molecules, including natural product derivatives and repurposed drugs of ill-defined mechanisms. We identify the prostaglandin-regulatory enzyme PTGR2 as a target of the anti-diabetic hops derivative KDT501 and show that miconazole—an anti-fungal drug that attenuates disease severity in preclinical models of multiple sclerosis—inhibits SGPL1, an enzyme that degrades the signaling lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate, drug analogues of which are used to treat multiple sclerosis in humans. Our findings highlight the versatility of lipid-based chemical proteomics probes for mapping small molecule-protein interactions in human cells to gain mechanistic understanding of bioactive compounds.
