Critical Assessment of Metaproteome Investigation (CAMPI): a Multi-Lab Comparison of Established Workflows

ABSTRACT: Metaproteomics, the study of the collective proteome within a microbial ecosystem, has substantially grown over the past few years. This growth comes from the increased awareness that it can powerfully supplement metagenomics and metatranscriptomics analyses. Although metaproteomics is more challenging than single-species proteomics, its added value has already been demonstrated in various biosystems, such as gut microbiomes or biogas plants. Because of the many challenges, a variety of metaproteomics workflows have been developed, yet it remains unclear what the impact of the choice of workflow is on the obtained results. Therefore, we set out to compare several well-established workflows in the first community-driven, multi-lab comparison in metaproteomics: the critical assessment of metaproteome investigation (CAMPI) study. In this benchmarking study, we evaluated the influence of different workflows on sample preparation, mass spectrometry acquisition, and bioinformatic analysis on two samples: a simplified, lab-assembled human intestinal sample and a complex human fecal sample. We find that the same overall biological meaning can be inferred from the metaproteome data, regardless of the chosen workflow. Indeed, taxonomic and functional annotations were very similar across all sample-specific data sets. Moreover, this outcome was consistent regardless of whether protein groups or peptides, or differences at the spectrum or peptide level were used to infer these annotations. Where differences were observed, those originated primarily from different wet-lab methods rather than from different bioinformatic pipelines. The CAMPI study thus provides a solid foundation for benchmarking metaproteomics workflows, and will therefore be a key reference for future method improvement.

Metaproteomics has matured into a powerful tool to assess functional interactions in microbial communities. While many metaproteomic workflows are available, the impact of method choice on results remains unclear. Here, we carry out a community-driven, multi-laboratory comparison in metaproteomics: the critical assessment of metaproteome investigation study (CAMPI). Based on well-established workflows, we evaluate the effect of sample preparation, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatic analysis us ...[more]

Project description:A Metaproteomic Workflow for Sample Preparation and Data Analysis Applied to Mouse Faeces: 1 MTD project_description Many diseases have been associated with gut microbiome abnormalities. The root cause of such diseases is not only due to bacterial dysbiosis, but also to change in bacterial functions, which are best studied by proteomic approaches. Although bacterial proteomics is well established, metaproteomics is hindered by challenges associated with the sample physical structure, contaminating proteins, the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of species and the subsequent data analysis. Here, we present a systematic assessment of sample preparation and data analysis methodologies applied to LC-MS/MS metaproteomics experiment. We could show that low speed centrifugation (LSC) has a significant impact on both peptide identifications and reproducibility. LSC led to increase in peptide and proteins identifications compare to no LSC. Notably, the dominant bacterial phyla, i.e. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, showed divergent representation between LSC and no-LSC. In terms of data processing, protein sequence databases derived from mouse faeces metagenome provided at least four times more MS/MS identification compared to databases of concatenated single organisms. We also demonstrated that two-steps database search strategy comes at the expense of a dramatic rise in number of false positives compared to single-step strategy. Overall, we found a positive correlation between matching metaproteome and metagenome abundance, which could be linked to core microbial functions, such as glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle and carbon metabolism. We observed significant overlap and correlation at the phylum, class, order and family taxonomic levels between taxonomy-derived from metagenome and metaproteome. Notably, nearly all functional categories (e.g., membrane transport, translation, transcription) were differentially abundant in the metaproteome (activity) compared to what would be expected from the metagenome (potential). In conclusion, these results highlight the need to perform metaproteomics when studying complex microbiome samples.
