Crosslinker Nanocarriers-based Intratumoral Delivery for Protein Complex Mapping in Mitochondria of Live Tumor-Bearing Mice

ABSTRACT: Mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, are central to tumor initiation and growth, yet their protein interactions in living tumors remain poorly understood. Although crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has provided valuable insights in cultured cells and isolated tissues, in vivo application is limited by poor crosslinker delivery. Here, we present an approach that uses intratumoral injection of crosslinker-loaded nanoparticles in xenografted mice to enable in vivo DSS crosslinking of tumor mitochondria, thereby facilitating XL-MS–based analysis of mitochondrial protein complexes. We identified 2,368 crosslinked peptides from 654 mitochondrial proteins, covering 58% of the human mitochondrial proteome. Among these, 553 crosslinked peptides were mapped to proteins involved in thermogenesis, ribosome function, and branched-chain amino acid degradation—metabolic pathways closely linked to tumor progression. Structural concordance was high (91%) with PDB and AlphaFold models, and complementary conformational insights were obtained, including previously missing data on the DAPIT subunit of ATP synthase, thus complementing cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures. We further mapped 217 mitochondrial PPIs, including 146 not annotated in STRING, highlighting the influence of the tumor microenvironment on protein interactions in vivo and providing valuable insights into tumor biology.

Finding and using Diagnostic Ions in Collisional Induced Crosslinked Peptide Fragmentation Spectra

Project description:Crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has emerged as a powerful tool in its own right for the investigation of protein structures and interactions. Utilizing standard shotgun MS mass spectrometry equipment and specialized database search software, crosslinked peptide-pairs can be identified and directly translated into distance constraints for protein structure and protein-protein interaction investigations. Whereas the gas-phase dissociation behavior of linear peptides is well understood, less is however known about the gas-phase dissociation behavior of crosslinked peptides. In this work, we set out to expose the behavior of commonly used crosslinking reagents, both non- as well as gas-phase cleavable, using synthetic peptides to establish mechanistic insights. We describe that crosslinked peptide pairs generate specific fragmentation patterns under HCD and CID fragmentation conditions, distinct from mono-linked peptide and non-modified peptides. We discuss in detail the resulting diagnostic ions that can help distinguishing linear peptides from mono-linked and crosslinked peptide pairs and how that may be used to further increase the efficiency of XL-MS analysis.

MicroRNA Directly Enhances Mitochondrial Translation during Muscle Differentiation.

Project description:MicroRNAs are well known to mediate translational repression and mRNA degradation in the cytoplasm. Various microRNAs have also been detected in membrane-compartmentalized organelles, but the functional significance has remained elusive. Here we report that miR-1, a microRNA specifically induced during myogenesis, efficiently enters the mitochondria where it unexpectedly stimulates, rather than represses, the translation of specific mitochondrial genome-encoded transcripts. We show that this positive effect requires specific miR:mRNA base-pairing and Ago2, but not its functional partner GW182, which is excluded from the mitochondria. We provide evidence for the direct action of Ago2 in mitochondrial translation by Ago2 CrossLinking ImmunoPrecipitation coupled with sequencing (CLIP-seq), functional rescue with mitochondria-targeted Ago2, and selective inhibition of the microRNA machinery in the cytoplasm. These findings unveil a positive function of microRNA in mitochondrial translation and suggest a highly coordinated myogenic program via miR-1 mediated translational stimulation in the mitochondria and repression in the cytoplasm. Examination of miRNA's regulation function in mitochondria in C2C12 myoblasts cells and myotubes cells with CLIP-seq (Ago2).

Breaking Barriers in Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry: Enhanced Throughput and Sensitivity with the Orbitrap Astral Mass Analyzer

Project description:Crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has become a key technique for investigating protein-protein interactions and the architecture of biological systems. This study compares the Orbitrap Astral and Eclipse mass spectrometers in XL-MS workflows, emphasizing their performance in detecting low-abundance crosslinked peptides. Using Cas9 crosslinked with PhoX and DSSO, the Astral demonstrated over 40% higher crosslink identifications due to its superior ion transmission and sensitivity, enabled by its multi-reflection time-of-flight analyzer. Single higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) fragmentation was more effective than stepped HCD on the Astral, while the Eclipse showed similar results for both methods. Gradient optimization revealed that extended separation times improved crosslink identifications. These findings highlight the critical role of instrumentation and workflow optimization in advancing XL-MS for structural proteomics.

SETD2 Deficiency Drives Mitochondrial DNA Leakage and Creates a Druggable Dependency on BCL-XL in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:SETD2 is frequently mutated or deleted in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Loss of SETD2 could create synthetic lethal dependencies that confer therapeutic vulnerabilities. Here, we demonstrated that SETD2 deficiency promotes cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage, leading to basal activation of cGAS-STING inflammatory signaling and increased apoptotic priming. This inflammatory state upregulated the BH3-only protein NOXA, constrained MCL-1 function, and enforced a synthetic lethal dependency on the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-xL. Pharmacological inhibition of BCL-xL further amplified cGAS-STING signaling in SETD2-deficient cells through sublethal mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, resulting in increased mtDNA release and robust NOXA induction. Elevated NOXA neutralized the compensatory MCL-1-mediated survival signaling, triggering apoptosis. In contrast, SETD2 proficient ccRCC cells exhibited minimal cGAS-STING activation and failed to induce NOXA following BCL-xL inhibition, rendering them resistant. Genetic ablation of cGAS, STING, IRF3, or NOXA rescued sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibition, confirming that mtDNA-driven innate immune signaling is required for this dependency. In vivo, BCL-xL inhibition suppressed tumor growth and prolonged survival in SETD2-deficient xenograft models. Collectively, these findings establish a mechanistic link between SETD2 loss, mtDNA-driven innate immune activation, and enforced BCL-xL dependence in ccRCC, revealing a therapeutically targetable vulnerability in SETD2-deficient tumors.

The human mitochondrial transcriptome

Project description:The human mitochondrial genome comprises a distinct genetic system transcribed as precursor polycistronic transcripts that are subsequently cleaved to generate individual mRNAs, tRNAs and rRNAs. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of the human mitochondrial transcriptome across multiple cell lines and tissues. Using directional deep sequencing and parallel analysis of RNA ends, we demonstrate wide variation in mitochondrial transcript abundance, and precisely resolve transcript processing and maturation events. We identify novel transcripts, including small RNAs, and observe the enrichment of several nuclear RNAs in mitochondria. Using high-throughput in vivo DNaseI footprinting, we establish the global profile of DNA-binding protein occupancy across the mitochondrial genome at single nucleotide resolution, revealing novel regulatory features at mitochondrial transcription initiation sites and functional insights into disease-associated variants. Together, this integrated analysis of the mitochondrial transcriptome reveals unexpected complexity in the regulation, expression, and processing of mitochondrial RNA, and itM-CM-^BM-BM- provides a resource for the future study of mitochondrial function (accessed at mitochondria.matticklab.com).

Targeted cross-linker delivery for in situ mapping of protein conformations and interactions in mitochondria

Project description:Current methods for intracellular protein analysis mostly require the separation of specific organelles or the change of intracellular environment. However, the functions of these proteins are determined by their native microenvironment as they usually form complexes with ions, nucleic acids, and other proteins. Thus, we have explored a method for in situ crosslinking and mapping of mitochondrial proteins in living cells. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles are functionalized with dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) to deliver protein crosslinkers into mitochondria. In situ crosslinked proteins are analyzed using mass spectrometry.

RNA duplex map in living cells reveals higher order transcriptome structure

Project description:RNA has the intrinsic property to base pair, forming complex structures fundamental to its diverse functions. Here we develop PARIS, a method based on reversible psoralen-crosslinking for global mapping of RNA duplexes with near base-pair resolution in living cells. PARIS analysis in three human and mouse cell types reveals frequent long-range structures, higher order architectures, and RNA:RNA interactions in trans across the transcriptome. PARIS determines base-pairing interactions on an individual-molecule level, revealing pervasive alternative conformations. We used PARIS-determined helices to guide phylogenetic analysis of RNA structures, and discovered conserved long-range and alternative structures. XIST, a lncRNA essential for X chromosome inactivation, folds into evolutionarily conserved RNA structural domains that span many kilobases. XIST A-repeat forms complex inter-repeat duplexes that nucleate higher order assembly of the key epigenetic silencing protein SPEN. PARIS is a generally applicable and versatile method that provides novel insights into the RNA structurome and interactome. Cells are crosslinked with AMT and RNA is extracted from cells by RNase digestion. Crosslinked RNA fragments are selected from total RNA by 2D gel electrophoresis. Purified crosslinked RNA duplexes are proximity ligated and crosslinking is reversed. Then the chimeric RNA molecules are converted into cDNA libraries for high-throughput sequencing.
