Project description:APEX2 RNA proximity labeling is a powerful method for determining localized RNAs in vivo. APEX2 RNA proximity labeling was adapted to bacterial cells, using an APEX2 fusion to the core scaffold of BR-bodies, RNase E. As a control, APEX2 was also fused to a variant of RNase E that lacks its C-terminal IDR and is unable to form BR-bodies, RNase E delta CTD. RNA proximity labeling was performed, and we observed a similar pattern of enriched RNAs to density centrifugation isolated BR-bodies (Al-Husini et al. Mol Cell 2020).

Project description:Proximity labeling catalyzed by promiscuous enzymes, such as APEX2, has emerged as a powerful approach to characterize multiprotein complexes and protein–protein interactions. However, current methods depend on the expression of exogenous fusion proteins and cannot be applied to identify proteins surrounding of post-translationally modified proteins. To address this limitation, we developed a new method to label proximal proteins of interest by antibody-mediated protein A-APEX2 labeling (AMAPEX). In this method, a modified protein is bound in situ by a specific antibody, which then tehers a protein A-APEX2 (pA-APEX2) fusion protein. Activation of APEX2 labels the nearby proteins with biotin; these proteins are then purified using streptavidin beads and are identified by mass spectrometry. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by profiling the binding proteins of histone modifications including H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K4me3, H4K5ac and H4K12ac, verified the co-localization of these identified proteins with baits proteins by published ChIP-seq analysis and nucleosome immunoprecipitation. Overall, AMAPEX is an efficient tool to identify proteins that are proximal to modified histones.

Project description:During genome replication, parental histones are recycled to newly replicated DNA with their post-translational modifications (PTMs). It remains unknown whether sister chromatids inherit modified histones evenly. Here, we measured histone PTM partition to sister chromatids in embryonic stem cells. We found that parental histones H3-H4 segregate to both daughter DNA strands with a weak leading strand bias, skewing partition at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders and enhancers proximal to replication initiation zones. Segregation of parental histones to the leading strand increased markedly in cells with histone-binding mutations in MCM2, part of the replicative helicase, exacerbating histone PTM sister chromatid asymmetry. This work reveals how histones are inherited to sister chromatids and identifies a mechanism for how symmetric cell division is ensured by the replication machinery.

Project description:Histone lysine methylation is an important post-translational modifications (PTMs) that plays critical roles in numerous biological processes with abnormal histone lysine methylation having been associated with developmental defects and human diseases. The primary amine of all lysine residues can be mono-, di-, or trimethylated and the extent of methylation at a single site is shown to inspire unique protein function. Moreover, histone lysine methylation can activate or repress transcription depending on which sites are modified and to what degree. Therefore, a comprehensive stoichiometric analysis of histone lysine methylation is necessary to fully elucidate its function. As histones are lysine-rich and highly-hydrophilic proteins (Figure S1), trypsin digestion of histones results in small, hydrophilic peptides which often suffer from substantial losses during sample preparation, and are difficult to detect in conventional reversed phase LC-MS. Additionally, trypsin fails to cleave histone proteins when lysine residues are methylated, resulting in inaccurate estimations of site occupancy and methylation extent. Previously, lysine propionylation labeling has been developed to overcome this drawback and facilitate quantitative analysis of PTMs that frequently occur on the lysine residue of histones. However, propionylation labeling of unmodified and monomethylated lysine residues causes a mismatch in hydrophobicity and charge state between labeled and unlabeled di-/trimethylated peptides. This mismatch forces retention time and signal intensity differences that inspire inaccurate quantitation and miscalculation of site occupancy. In this work, we developed a method that facilitates blocking of free lysine groups and discrimination of native lysine methylation, enables accurate calculation of the histone lysine methylation stoichiometry.

Project description:The genetic code can be expanded to include unnatural amino acids (Uaas) by engineering orthogonal components involved in protein translation. To be compatible with live cells, side chains of Uaas have been limited to either chemically inert or bio-orthogonal (i.e., nonreactive toward biomolecules) functionalities. To introduce bioreactivity into live systems, the genetic code has recently been engineered to encode a new class of Uaas, the bioreactive Uaas. These Uaas, after being incorporated into proteins, specifically react with target natural amino acid residues via proximity-enabled bioreactivity, enabling the selective formation of new covalent linkages within and between proteins both in vitro and in live systems. The new covalent bonding ability has been harnessed within proteins to enhance photostability, increase thermostability, staple proteins recombinantly, and build optical nano-switches, and between proteins to pinpoint ligand-receptor interaction, target native receptors irreversibly, and generate covalent macromolecular inhibitors. These diverse bioreactivities, inaccessible to natural proteins, thus open doors to novel protein engineering and provide new avenues for biological studies, biotherapeutics and synthetic biology.

Project description:Bottom-up proteomics database search algorithms used for peptide identification cannot comprehensively identify posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in a single-pass because of high false discovery rates (FDRs). A new approach to database searching enables Global PTM (G-PTM) identification by exclusively looking for curated PTMs, thereby avoiding the FDR penalty experienced during conventional variable modification searches. We identified nearly 2500 unique, high-confidence modified peptides comprising 31 different PTM types in single-pass database searches.

Male C57BL/6J (B6) and CAST/EiJ (CAST) mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, Maine) and housed in an environmentally controlled vivarium at the University of Wisconsin Biochemistry Department. Mice were provided standard rodent chow (Purina no. 5008) and water ad libitum, and maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle (6 AM – 6 PM). At 10 weeks of age, mice were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation. All animal procedures were preapproved by the University of Wisconsin Animal Care and Use Committee.

Project description:We introduce APEX-seq, a method for RNA sequencing based on direct proximity labeling of RNA using the peroxidase enzyme APEX2. APEX-seq in nine distinct subcellular locales produced a nanometer-resolution spatial map of the human transcriptome as a resource, revealing extensive patterns of localization for diverse RNA classes and transcript isoforms. We uncover a radial organization of the nuclear transcriptome, which is gated at the inner surface of the nuclear pore for cytoplasmic export of processed transcripts. We identify two distinct pathways of messenger RNA localization to mitochondria, each associated with specific sets of transcripts for building complementary macromolecular machines within the organelle. APEX-seq should be widely applicable to many systems, enabling comprehensive investigations of the spatial transcriptome.
