Cellular protein painting for structural and binding sites analysis via lysine reactivity profiling with o-phthalaldehyde

ABSTRACT: The three-dimensional structure and the molecular interaction of proteins determine their roles in many cellular processes. Chemical protein painting with protein mass spectrometry can identify changes in structural conformations and molecular interactions of proteins including their binding sites. Nevertheless, most current protein painting techniques identified protein targets and binding sites of drugs in vitro using cell lysate or purified protein. Here, we screened 11 kinds of membrane-permeable lysine-reactive chemical probes for intracellular covalent labeling of endogenous proteins, which reveals ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) as the most reactive probe in intracellular environment. An MS workflow was developed and coupled with a new data analysis strategy termed RAPID (Reactive Amino acid Profiling by Inverse Detection) to enhance detection sensitivity. RAPID-OPA successfully identified structural change induced by allosteric drug TEPP-46 on its target protein PKM2, and was applied to profile conformation change of the proteome occurring in cells during thermal denaturation. Application of RAPID-OPA on cells treated with three model drugs geldanamycin, selumetinib, and staurosporine successfully revealed its binding sites on target proteins. Thus, RAPID-OPA for cellular protein painting permits the identification of ligand-binding sites and detection of protein structural changes occurring in cells.

Project description:Epitope mapping studies aim to identify the binding sites of antibody-antigen interactions to enhance the development of vaccines, diagnostics and immunotherapeutic compounds. However, mapping is a laborious process employing time- and resource-consuming M-bM-^@M-^Xwet benchM-bM-^@M-^Y techniques or epitope prediction software that are still in their infancy. For polymorphic antigens, another challenge is characterizing cross-reactivity between epitopes, teasing out distinctions between broadly cross-reactive responses, limited cross-reactions among variants and the truly type-specific responses. A refined understanding of cross-reactive antibody binding could guide the selection of the most informative subsets of variants for diagnostics and multivalent subunit vaccines. We explored the antibody binding reactivity of sera from human patients and Peromyscus leucopus rodents infected with Borrelia burgdorferi to the polymorphic outer surface protein C (OspC), an attractive candidate antigen for vaccine and improved diagnostics for Lyme disease. We constructed a protein microarray displaying 23 natural variants of OspC and quantified the degree of cross-reactive antibody binding between all pairs of variants, using Pearson correlation calculated on the reactivity values using three independent transforms of the raw data: (1) logarithmic, (2) rank, and (3) binary indicators. We observed that the global amino acid sequence identity between OspC pairs was a poor predictor of cross-reactive antibody binding. Then we asked if specific regions of the protein would better explain the observed cross-reactive binding and performed in silico screening of the linear sequence and 3-dimensional structure of OspC. This analysis pointed to the C-terminal helix of the structure as a major determinant of type-specific cross-reactive antibody binding. We developed bioinformatics methods to systematically analyze the relationship between local sequence/structure variation and cross-reactive antibody binding patterns among variants of a polymorphic antigen, and this method can be applied to other polymorphic antigens for which immune response data is available for multiple variants. Antibody profiling was performed on sera from Borrelia burgdorferi infected and non-infected humans and Peromyscus leucopus rodents against 23 variants of the surface protein OspC . For infected human serum samples, the OspC type of the infecting B. burgdorferi strain is unknown; for experimentally-infected P. leucopus serum samples, it is known. Of human serum samples, 55 were from infected individuals and 25 from naive controls. Of P. leucopus serum samples, 23 were from infected individuals and 7 were from naive controls.
