Project description:Lysine itaconylation is a novel post - translational modification (PTM) that was recently discovered in macrophage proteomes mediated by the immunoregulatory metabolite, itaconate. However, there is currently an absence of comprehensive and high - accuracy analytical methods for the global identification of itaconylation sites in proteomes, which limits its biological function study. Here, we developed a thiol-based bioorthogonal probe, BMAyne, to site-specifically profile itaconylation in macrophage proteomes by a quantitative chemoproteomic strategy. Notably, 29 endogenous itaconylated proteins were identified in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages using BMAyne, which complemented the results obtained by promiscuous antibody enrichment. Our effort provides a unique chemical tool to enrich endogenous lysine itaconylation and establishes a rich database for guiding subsequent functional studies of this unique PTM.

Project description:We report the identification of 67 previously undescribed histone modifications, increasing the current number of known histone marks by about 70%. We further investigated one of the marks, lysine crotonylation (Kcr), confirming that it represents an evolutionarily-conserved histone posttranslational modification. The unique structure and genomic localization of histone Kcr suggest that it is mechanistically and functionally different from histone lysine acetylation (Kac). Specifically, in both human somatic and mouse male germ cell genomes, histone Kcr marks either active promoters or potential enhancers. In male germinal cells immediately following meiosis, Kcr is enriched on sex chromosomes and specifically marks testis-specific genes, including a significant proportion of X-linked genes that escape sex chromosome inactivation in haploid cells. These results therefore dramatically extend the repertoire of histone PTM sites and designate Kcr as a specific mark of active sex chromosome-linked genes in postmeiotic male germ cells. 2 histone marks (pan-lysine acetylation and pan-lysine crotonylation) were studied in 1 human cell type and 2 mouse cell types using ChIP-Seq. Input was sequenced for each cell type as a control. Pan-anti_Kac and pan-anti_Kcr antibodies were custom developed with PTM BioLab, Co., Ltd (Chicago, IL).

Project description:Cysteine is unique among all protein-coding amino acids owing to its intrinsically high nucleophilicity. The cysteinyl thiol group can be covalently modified by both a broad range of redox mechanisms and various electrophiles derived from exogenous or endogenous sources. Measuring proteomic cysteines response to redox perturbation or electrophiles is critical for understanding the underlying mechanisms involved. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) based on thiol-reactive probes has been the method of choice for such analyses. We therefore adapted this approach and developed a new chemoproteomic platform, termed as QTRP (Quantitative Thiol Reactivity Profiling), that relies on the ability of a commercially available thiol-reactive probe IPM to covalently label, enrich, and quantify the reactive cysteinome in cells and tissues. Here, we provide a detailed and updated workflow of QTRP that includes procedures for (i) labeling of the reactive cysteinome from cell or tissue samples (e.g. control vs treatment) with IPM, (ii) processing the protein samples into tryptic peptides and tagging the probe-modified peptides with isotopically labeled azido-biotin reagents containing a photo-cleavable linker via click chemistry reaction, (iii) capturing biotin-conjugated peptides with streptavidin beads, (iv) identifying and quantifying the photo-released peptides by mass spectrometry (MS)-based shotgun proteomics, (v) interpreting MS data by a streamlined informatic pipeline using a proteomics software, pFind 3, and an automatic post-processing algorithm. We also outline here how to use QTRP for measuring the changes on proteomic cysteines upon redox perturbation and for identifying targeted cysteine sites of thiol-reactive electrophiles. We anticipate that this protocol should find broad applications in both redox/chemical biology and drug discovery. The protocol for sample preparation takes 3 days, whereas MS measurements and data analyses require 75 min and <30 min, respectively, per sample.

Project description:We used state of the art mass spectrometry (MS) and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to provide the first integrated proteomic, phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic atlas of the animal model Mus musculu . We measured 66 murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines (66 proteomes and 66 phosphoproteome) and 41 healthy tissues (41 proteomes, 41 phosphoproteome, and 29 transcriptomes). The employed MS-based and bioinformatics strategy identified >17,000 proteins and >50,000 phosphorylation sites, providing expression evidence for ~76% of the 22,437 protein-coding genes reported in UniProtKB. The RNA-Seq strategy resulted in the quantification of 21,261 unique gene that were expressed in at least one of the 29 sequenced tissue.

Project description:Here, we report a detection of oxidative post-translational modifications (ox-PTM) of Cys residues in the U937 cell line either non-stimulated or stimulated with diamide, a thiol-oxidizing agent at 0.5mM for 20min or HOCl at 100µM for 10min. Reversible Cys ox-PTMs were labelled using a bioswitch method using a Maleimide-(Polyethylene Glycol)2-Biotin (Mal-PEG2-Bio) probe independently of the oxidation type. Labeled proteins were analyzed by Mass spectrometry. We identified Cys ox-PTMs encompassing 1473 proteins containing at least ox-PTM-modified Cys. These sites include ox-PTM sites previously described in vitro validating the approach. Numerous novel Cys susceptible to ox-PTMs were identified including signaling proteins, including kinases, phosphatases and transcription and translation factors and proteins relevant to virus-host interactions.

Project description:Protein acetylation, one of many types of post-translational modifications (PTMs), is involved in a variety of biological and cellular processes. In the present study, we applied both CsCl density gradient (CDG) centrifugation-based protein fractionation and a dimethyl-labelling-based 4C quantitative PTM proteomics workflow in the study of dynamic acetylproteomic changes in Arabidopsis. This workflow integrates the dimethyl chemical labelling with chromatography-based acetylpeptide separation and enrichment followed by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, the extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) quantitation-based computational analysis of mass spectrometry data to measure dynamic changes of acetylpeptide level using an in-house software program, named Stable isotope-based Quantitation-Dimethyl labelling (SQUA-D), and finally the confirmation of ethylene hormone-regulated acetylation using immunoblot analysis. Eventually, using this proteomic approach, 7,456 unambiguous acetylation sites were found from 2,638 different acetylproteins, and 5,250 acetylation sites, including 5,233 sites on lysine side chain and 17 sites on protein N-terminus, were identified repetitively. Out of these repetitively discovered acetylation sites, 4,228 sites on lysine side chain (i.e., 80.5%) are novel. These acetylproteins are exemplified by the histone superfamily, ribosomal and heat shock proteins, and proteins related to stress/stimulus responses and energy metabolism. The novel acetylproteins enriched by the CDG centrifugation fractionation contain many cellular trafficking proteins, membrane-bound receptors, and receptor-like kinases, which are mostly involved in brassinosteroid, light, gravity, and development signalling. In addition, we identified 12 highly conserved acetylation site motifs within histones, P-glycoproteins, actin depolymerizing factors, ATPases, transcription factors, and receptor-like kinases. Using SQUA-D software, we have quantified 33 ethylene hormone-enhanced and 31 hormone-suppressed acetylpeptide groups or called unique PTM peptide arrays (UPAs) that share the identical unique PTM site pattern (UPSP). This CDG centrifugation protein fractionation in combination with dimethyl labelling-based quantitative PTM proteomics, and SQUA-D may be applied in the quantitation of any PTM proteins in any model eukaryotes and agricultural crops as well as tissue samples of animals and human beings.

Project description:RNA base editing applies endogenous or engineered adenosine deaminases to introduce adenosine-to-inosine changes into a target RNA in a highly programmable manner. Recently, notable success was achieved for the repair of disease-causing guanosine-to-adenosine mutations by means of RNA base editing. Here, we propose that RNA base editing could be broadly applied to perturb protein function by removal of regulatory sites of post-translational modification (PTM), like phosphorylation and/or acetylation sites. We demonstrate the feasibility of PTM interference (PTMi) on more than 70 PTM sites in various signaling proteins and identify key determinants for high editing efficiency and potent down-stream effects. Specifically, we demonstrate both negative and positive regulation of the JAK/STAT pathway by PTMi. To identify potent regulatory sites for PTMi, we applied an improved version of the SNAP-ADAR tool, which achieved high editing efficiency over a broad codon scope with tight control of bystander editing. The transient nature of RNA base editing enables the fast, dose-dependent (thus partial) and reversible manipulation of PTM sites, which is a key advantage over DNA editing approaches, where genetic compensation or lethality can conceal a phenotype. In summary, PTM interference might become a valuable field of application of RNA base editing in basic biology and medicine.

Project description:Protein biotinylation via chemical or enzymatic reactions is often coupled with streptavidin-based enrichment and on-beads digestion in numerous biological applications. However, the popular on-beads digestion method faces major challenges of streptavidin contamination, the lost information of biotinylation sites, and limited sequence coverage of enriched proteins. Here, we explored thiol-cleavable biotin as an alternative approach to elute biotinylated proteins from streptavidin-coated beads for both chemical biotinylation and biotin ligase-based proximity labeling. All possible amino acid sites for biotinylation were thoroughly evaluated besides the primary lysine residue. We found that biotinylation at lysine residues notably reduces the trypsin digestion efficiency which can be mitigated by the thiol-cleavable biotinylation method. We then evaluated the applicability of thiol-cleavable biotin as a substrate for proximity labeling in living cells, where TurboID biotin ligase was engineered onto the mitochondrial inner membrane facing the mitochondrial matrix. As a proof-of-principle study, thiol-cleavable biotin-assisted TurboID proteomics achieved remarkable intra-organelle spatial resolution with significantly enriched proteins localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix.

Project description:Background: Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) constitute a branch of epigenetic mechanisms that can control the expression of eukaryotic genes in a heritable manner. Recent studies have identified several PTM-binding proteins containing diverse specialized domains whose recognition of specific PTM sites leads to gene activation or repression. Here, we present a high-throughput proteogenomic platform designed to characterize the nucleosomal make-up of chromatin enriched with a set of histone PTM-binding proteins known as histone PTM readers. We support our findings with gene expression data correlating to PTM distribution. Results: We isolated human mononucleosomes bound by the bromodomain-containing proteins Brd2, Brd3 and Brd4, and by the chromodomain-containing heterochromatin proteins HP1alpha and HP1beta. Histone PTMs were quantified by mass spectrometry (ChIP-qMS), and their associated DNAs were mapped using deep sequencing. Our results reveal that Brd- and HP1-bound nucleosomes are enriched in histone PTMs consistent with actively transcribed euchromatin and silent heterochromatin, respectively. Data collected using RNA-Seq (GSM301568) show that Brd-bound sites correlate with highly expressed genes. In particular, Brd3 and Brd4 are most enriched on nucleosomes located within HOX gene clusters, whose expression is reduced upon Brd4 depletion by shRNA. Conclusions: Proteogenomic mapping of histone PTM readers, alongside the characterization of their local chromatin environments and transcriptional information, should prove useful for determining how histone PTMs are bound by these readers and how they contribute to distinct transcriptional states.

Project description:Alcohol consumption induces hepatocyte damage through complex processes involving oxidative stress and disrupted metabolism. Combined, these factors alter proteomic and epigenetic marks providing a critical opportunity to identify therapeutic targets. Indeed, alcohol-induced protein acetylation is a key post-translational modification (PTM) that regulates hepatic metabolism and is associated with the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Interestingly, recent evidence suggests lysine acetylation occurs when a proximal cysteine residue is within ~15 Å of a lysine residue, referred to as a cysteine-lysine (Cys-Lys) pair. Here, acetylation can occur through the transfer of an acetyl moiety via an S à N acetyl transfer reaction. Alcohol-mediated hepatic redox stress is known to occur coincident with lysine acetylation, but the biochemical mechanisms related to cysteine and lysine crosstalk within ALD remain unexplored. A chronic murine model of ALD was employed to quantify hepatic cysteine redox and lysine acetylation, revealing that alcohol metabolism significantly reduced the cysteine proteome and increased protein acetylation. Interrogating both cysteine redox and lysine acetylation datasets, 1,281 proteins were mapped by AlphaFold2 to quantify distances between 557,815 cysteine and lysine residues. This process identified 388,698 Cys-Lys pairs that were further used to evaluate thiol redox signaling. Our analysis reveals that alcohol metabolism induces redox changes and acetylation selectively on proximal Cys-Lys pairs with an odds ratio of 1.89 (p< 0.0001). We also identified key redox signaling hubs embedded in metabolic pathways associated with ALD, including lipid metabolism, the TCA cycle, and the electron transport chain. Specific protein targets embedded across these pathways include Echs1, Glrx5, Decr2, and Adh1, among many others. Interestingly, these proximal Cys-Lys exist as four major protein motifs represented by the number of Cys and Lys residues that are pairing (Cysx-Lysx). These motifs include Cys1:Lys1, Cysx:Lys1, Cys1:Lysx and Cysx:Lysx each with a unique microenvironment likely indicative of the mode of enzymatic regulation occurring. The motifs are composed of functionally relevant amino acids altered within ALD, identifying sites of therapeutic potential. Furthermore, these unique Cys-Lys redox signatures are translationally relevant as revealed by orthologous comparison with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH) explants, revealing numerous pathogenic thiol redox signals in these patients.
