Project description:In vivo chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is powerful for capturing protein-protein interactions and dynamics in native contexts, but its high sample requirement (typically E7–E8 cells) hinders application to rare cell populations. To overcome this, we developed a novel low-input in vivo XL-MS strategy. This approach synergizes a miniaturized, transfer-free one-pot workflow with a custom-designed cross-linker, trehalose disuccinimidyl ester (TDS). TDS is highly biocompatible and membrane-permeable, enabling efficient in vivo cross-linking with minimal cellular perturbation. Crucially, TDS is MS-cleavable; upon fragmentation, it generates diagnostic reporter ions that linearize the data retrieval process, dramatically simplifying identification and boosting sensitivity compared to the quadratic complexity of analyzing non-cleavable cross-linkers. Furthermore, its inherent MS-compatibility allows it to remain in the sample throughout processing without interference, eliminating cleanup steps that cause sample loss. This integrated strategy robustly captures interactome and structural information from as few as 1,000 HeLa cells, identifying a network of 273 proteins connected by 1,055 unique cross-links, and extends the detection limit to 100 cells.

Project description:We have employed the sulfoxide-based cleavability to establish a novel cysteine-based MS-cleavable XL-MS platform, enabling proteome-wide PPI analysis using non-cleavable heterobifunctional K-C linkers. The effectiveness of the newly established platform has been demonstrated using three commercially available and non-cleavable NHS ester-haloacetamide heterobifunctional cross-linkers to map in vivo PPIs from HEK 293 cells.

Project description:To understand how GIPC3 exerts its effects on cuticular plate dimensions, we examined the GIPC3 protein-interaction network in hair cells. We immunoaffinity purified GIPC3 from crosslinked chicken inner ear extracts that were enriched for stereocilia, but still contain large amounts of hair-cell cytoplasmic proteins (Morgan et al., 2016). We carried out two separate experiments, each with ~1000 chicken ears, where we stabilized protein complexes using primary amine-reactive homo-bifunctional N-hydroxysuccimide ester crosslinkers that are thiol-cleavable and hence reversible (Mattson et al., 1993). In one experiment, we used dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DSP), a membrane-permeable crosslinker that crosslinks extracellular and intracellular complexes; in the other experiment, we used 3,3'-dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidyl propionate) (DTSSP), which is membrane impermeant and thus only stabilizes extracellular and transmembrane complexes. We prepared soluble extracts of crude, crosslinked stereocilia and used these fractions for identifying GIPC3-interacting proteins.

Project description:Protein misfolding and aberrant aggregation are fundamental to neurodegenerative diseases, but studying these dynamic, heterogeneous complexes within their native cellular environment remains a major challenge. We present an integrated chemical proteomics platform that enables concurrent in situ imaging, compositional profiling, and interactome mapping of the aggregated proteome in live cells. The platform combines a novel aggregate-targeting photosensitizer probe (D6) for photocatalytic proximity labeling with a biocompatible, mass-spectrometry-cleavable crosslinker, trehalose disuccinimidyl ester (TDS). This allows for the covalent capture of transient protein conformations and interactions within aggregates prior to their isolation and analysis. Applying this method to a cellular model of proteostasis stress, we identified 1,165 enriched aggregate constituents and mapped 739 protein-protein interactions (67.8% novel), revealing a densely interconnected network centered on the chaperone HSPA1B (HSP70). Functional validation demonstrated that pharmacological activation of HSP70, the central hub of this network, directly promotes the disassembly and clearance of mutant huntingtin aggregates. Our work provides a comprehensive spatial and functional atlas of the aggregated proteome and establishes a generalizable platform for uncovering the mechanisms and therapeutic targets of protein conformational diseases.

Project description:Chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (CXMS) has emerged as a powerful technology to analyze protein complex structure and interaction. However, the spectral fragmentation behavior and spectral data retrieval of cross-linked peptides are more complex than single peptides. In this study, we designed and synthesized a trehalose-based MS-cleavable cross-linker, Trehalose Disuccinimidyl Ester (TDS), which possesses a CID/HCD-cleavable glycosidic bond and has good bioorthogonality and amphipathicity. Using TDS, the cross-linked peptides were simplified into conventional single peptides via the selective cleavage between glycosidic and peptide bonds under individual MS collision energy, which enhances the matching degree and retrieval throughput of spectral identification. The deep coverage of the TDS method facilitated the accurate resolution of the structural dynamics of purified proteins with different physicochemical properties and yeast 26S proteasome complex. Additionally, the bioorthogonality and amphipathicity of TDS enabled the cross-linking reaction to occur in vivo without the introduction of any organic solvent. Through coinciding with this feature and MS-cleavable capacity, TDS provided us a high throughput snapshot of the structural architecture of protein complex in live cells. These results provide a promising TDS toolkit to study CXMS and decipher the protein conformations and interactions with high accuracy and easy portability for cross-linker design.

Project description:Frozen dough baking is useful method in the modern bread-making industry. However, the fermentation activity of baker’s yeast dramatically decreased after thawing due to freeze injuries, because baker’s yeast cells contained in dough experience freeze injuries during freeze-thaw processes. Here, we performed genome-wide expression analysis to determine genetic response in baker’s yeasts under freeze-thaw condition using a DNA microarray analysis. Functional and clustering analyses in gene expression reveal that genes could be characterized by the term of freeze-thaw stress. Under short-term freeze stress (freeze treatment for 3 day), genes involved in ribosomal protein were up-regulated. Under long-term freeze stress (freeze treatment for longer than 7 day), genes involved in energy synthesis were up-regulated. In each phase, genes involved in protein damage, several stresses and trehalose and glycogen metabolism were also up-regulated. Through these freeze stress, yeast cells may improve reduced efficiency of translation and enhanced cell protection mechanism to survive under freeze stress condition. These regulations of these genes would be controlled by the cAMP-protein kinase A pathway. Keywords: baker’s yeast, freeze-thaw stress, gene expression, freezing period

Project description:The present work describes a novel search program for the detection of both MS-cleavable and non-cleavable crosslinked peptides and it is the first software program reported with both capacities. The search strategy has been implemented in the computer program MetaMorpheus, which has a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). Novel crosslinker molecules can be easily added if desired. A fragment-ion index scheme makes the search computationally efficient. DSSO crosslinked BSA and E.coli ribosome data were used to validate the MS-cleavable crosslink search results.

Project description:Interactomics is an emerging field that seeks to identify both transient and complex-bound protein interactions that are essential for metabolic functions. Crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has enabled untargeted global analysis of these protein networks, permitting largescale simultaneous analysis of protein structure and interactions. Increased commercial availability of highly specific, cell permeable crosslinkers has propelled the study of these critical interactions forward, with the development of MS-cleavable crosslinkers further increasing confidence in identifications. Herein, the global interactome of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was analyzed via XL-MS by implementing the MS-cleavable disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO) crosslinker and enriching for crosslinks using strong cation exchange chromatography. Gentle lysis via repeated freeze-thaw cycles facilitated in vitro analysis of 157 protein-protein interactions throughout the C. reinhardtii proteome. These data confirmed known protein relationships across the cytosol and chloroplast, including coverage on 42% and 38% of the small and large ribosomal subunits, respectively. Additionally, several crosslinks point to novel associations between proteins, including the identification of a previously uncharacterized Mg-chelatase associated protein (Cre11.g477733.t1.2) bound to five distinct lysines on Mg-chelatase (Cre06.g306300.t1.2). These data establish a framework of protein-protein interactions that can be further explored to facilitate understanding of the dynamic protein landscape in C. reinhardtii.
