Project description:Recent analysis of the human proteome via proteogenomics and ribosome profiling of the transcriptome revealed the existence of thousands of previously unannotated microprotein-coding small open reading frames (smORFs). Most functional microproteins were chosen for characterization because of their evolutionary conservation. However, one example of a non-conserved immunomodulatory microprotein in mice suggests that strict sequence conservation misses some intriguing microproteins. Here, we examine the ability of gene regulation to identify human microproteins with potential roles in inflammation or fibrosis of the intestine. To do this, we collected ribosome profiling data of intestinal cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and then used gene expression of microprotein-encoding transcripts to identify strongly regulated microproteins, including several examples of microproteins that are only conserved with primates. This approach reveals a number of new microproteins worthy of additional functional characterization, and provides a dataset that can be queried in different ways to find additional gut microproteins of interest.

Project description:Here, we present global microprotein quantitation in two human leukemia cell lines, K562 and MOLT4. We identify unannotated microproteins that are differentially expressed in these cell lines. The expression of six microproteins was validated biochemically, and two were found to localize to the nucleus. Thus, we demonstrate that label-free comparative proteomics enables quantitation of microprotein expression between human cell lines, and that differentially expressed microproteins have properties, like subcellular localization, consistent with functionality.

Project description:Ribosome profiling and mass spectrometry have revealed thousands of previously unannotated small and alternative open reading frames (sm/alt-ORFs) that are translated into micro-/alt-proteins in mammalian cells. However, their prevalence across human tissues and biological roles remain largely unexplored. The placenta is an ideal model for identifying unannotated microproteins and alt-proteins due to its considerable protein diversity that is required to sustain fetal development during pregnancy. Here, we profiled unannotated microproteins and alt-proteins in human placenta tissues from preeclampsia patients or healthy individuals by mass spectrometry, identified 66 unannotated microproteins or alt-proteins, and validated the expression of five microproteins biochemically. We further demonstrated that one microprotein, XRCC6P1, associates with translation initiation complex eIF3, and negatively regulates translation. Thus, we revealed a hidden sm/alt-ORF-encoded proteome in the human placenta, which may advance the mechanism studies for placenta development, as well as placental disorders such as preeclampsia.

Project description:MicroProteins are short, single domain proteins that act by sequestering larger, multidomain proteins into non-functional complexes. MicroProteins have been identified in plants and animals, where they are mostly involved in the regulation of developmental processes. Here we show that two Arabidopsis thaliana microProteins, miP1a and miP1b, physically interact with CONSTANS (CO) a potent regulator of flowering time. The miP1a/b-type microProteins evolved in dicotyledonous plants and have an additional carboxy-terminal PF(V/L)FL motif. This motif enables miP1a/b microProteins to interact with TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED (TPL/TPR) proteins. Interaction of CO with miP1a/b/TPL causes late flowering due to a failure in the induction of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression under inductive long day conditions. Both miP1a and miP1b are expressed in vascular tissue, where CO and FT are active. Genetically, miP1a/b act upstream of CO thus our findings unravel a novel layer of flowering time regulation via microProtein-inhibition. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis of four biological samples were analysed with two technical replicates. Columbia wildtype plants Col-0, constans mutant plants co-SAIL, and two transgenic lines overexpressing a microProtein (miP1a and miP1b) were sequenced.

Project description:Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)-mediated innate immune responses are critical for host defense against microbial pathogens including RNA/DNA viruses. A growing number of coding genes and genes originally defined as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are found to encode short peptides or proteins, named microproteins. However, the landscape of microproteins in responsive to virus infection and the functions of these microproteins remain uncharacterized. Here, we systematically identified microproteins, both from coding and non-coding genes, that are responsive to Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) infection. Among which, a highly conserved, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane-localized microprotein, , MAVI1 (microprotein in antiviral immunity 1), was found to interact with mitochondrial localized MAVS protein, inhibiting the aggregation of MAVS and the activation of downstream type I interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. The critical role of MAVI1 was highlighted that viral infection was significantly attenuated and survival rate was significantly increased in Mavi1 knockout mice in vivo. A peptide inhibitor targeting the interaction between MAVI1 and MAVS is potent in activating the type I IFN signaling and defending viral infection both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings uncovered that microproteins could play critical roles in regulating antiviral innate immune responses via cross-organelle interaction, and targeting microproteins might represent a potential therapeutic avenue for treating viral infection in clinic.

Project description:The absence of thousands of recently annotated small open reading frame (smORF)-encoded peptides and small proteins (microproteins) from databases has precluded their analysis in metabolism and metabolic disease. Given the outsized importance of small proteins and peptides in metabolism—insulin, leptin, amylin, glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)—microproteins are a potentially rich source of uncharacterized metabolic regulators. Here, we annotate smORFs in primary differentiated brown, white, and beige mouse adipose cells. Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) detected a total of 3,877 unannotated smORFs. Analysis of RNA-Seq datasets revealed diet-regulated smORF expression in adipose tissues, and validated the adipose translation of the feeding-neuron marker gene Gm8773. Gm8773 encodes the mouse homolog of FAM237B, a neurosecretory protein that stimulates food intake and promotes weight gain in chickens. Testing of recombinant mFAM237B produced similar orexigenic activity in mice further supporting a role for FAM237B a metabolic regulator and part of the brain-adipose axis. Furthermore, we showed that data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) proteomics can provide a sensitive, flexible, and quantitative platform for identifying microproteins by mass spectrometry. Using this system led to the detection of 58 microproteins from cell culture and an additional 25 from mouse serum. The proteomics data established the anti-inflammatory microprotein AW112010 as a circulating factor, and found that serum levels of a microprotein translated from a FRS2 uORF is elevated in older obese mice. Together, the data highlight the value of this database in examining understudied smORFs and microproteins in metabolic research and identifying additional regulators of metabolism.
