SILAC diGlycine proteomics in C. elegans to identify ULP-3 targets upon DNA damage.

ABSTRACT: We found a conserved role for the deNEDDylating enzyme NEDP1 (ULP-3 in C. elegans) in the DNA damage induced apoptosis. To gain mechanistic insights into the role of ULP-3 in the IR-induced apoptosis, we devised an unbiased proteomics approach to discover potential NEDD8 targets for ULP-3 upon DNA damage. Identification of diglycine (diGly) remnants left on lysine residues upon trypsin digestion of proteins by mass spectrometry demonstrates their modification with ubiquitin, NEDD8 or ISG15 (Kessler, 2013; Ordureau et al., 2015). We hypothesised that changes in the diGly signature upon deletion of the de-NEDDylating enzyme ULP-3, should specifically indicate changes in the NEDD8 modification repertoire. We combined Stable Isotope Labelling with Amino acid in nematodes (SILAC) (Larance et al., 2011) with the use of antibodies that recognise the diGly remnant on modified peptides (Kessler, 2013; Ordureau et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2010). Wild type and ulp-3 deleted worms were labelled with Light (K0R0) and Heavy (K8R10) isotopes respectively. To specifically address the effect of ULP-3 on the NEDD8 proteome upon DNA damage, both sets of worms were exposed to IR. Synchronised worms were grown on nitrogen free nematode growth medium (NGM-N) as described previously (Larance et al., 2011) seeded with SLE1 bacteria labelled with Light (K0R0) and Heavy (K8R10) Isotopes (Eurisotope). Larvae stage 1 synchronised worms were grown until late adult stage and synchronised again by bleaching before growing them on 9cm NGM-N plates seeded with SILAC bacteria (SLE1). Approximately 10 plates of 4000 worms each were used to grow synchronised and labelled worms until late L4-young adult stage that were irradiated with 90Gy of IR using a Blood-Xrad apparatus. Labelled worms proteins were extracted in 50mM Hepes-NaOH pH8.0, Urea 9M using a bead beater and zirconium 0.7mm beads. Extracts were mixed in 1:1 ratio before immunoprecipitation with the anti-diGly antibody followed by MS/MS, performed by Cell Signaling Technology.
