Project description:Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a valuable tool for plasma proteome profiling and disease biomarker discovery. However, wide range of plasma protein concentrations along with technical and biological variabilities, continue to present significant challenges for deep and reproducible protein quantitation across large patient cohorts. Here we demonstrate the qualitative and quantitative performance gain of the timsTOF HT over the timsTOF Pro 2 mass spectrometer in the analysis of neat (unfractionated) and Proteograph™ (PG)-processed plasma across a wide range of peptide loading masses and liquid chromatography (LC) gradients. We observed up to a 76% increase in total plasma peptide precursors identified and a >2-fold boost in quantifiable plasma peptide precursors (CV<20%) with timsTOF HT compared to timsTOF Pro 2. In an exploratory study of 20 late-stage cancer and 20 control sampleswe observed a ~50% increase in total and statistically significant plasma peptide precursors (q<0.05) with timsTOF HT compared to Pro 2. Our data demonstrated the superior performance of timsTOF HT in identifying and quantifying differences between biologically diverse samples, which can improve disease biomarker discovery in large cohort studies. Moreover, researchers can leverage datasets from this study to optimize their LCMS workflows for plasma protein profiling and biomarker discovery. See the details in a paper, entitled "timsTOF HT improves protein identification and quantitative reproducibility for deep unbiased plasma protein biomarker discovery".

Project description:Bacterial division initiates at the site of a contractile Z-ring composed of polymerized FtsZ. The location of the Z-ring in the cell is controlled by a system of three mutually antagonistic proteins, MinC, MinD, and MinE. Plastid division is also known to be dependent on homologs of these proteins, derived from the ancestral cyanobacterial endosymbiont that gave rise to plastids. In contrast, the mitochondria of model systems such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mammals, and Arabidopsis thaliana seem to have replaced the ancestral α-proteobacterial Min-based division machinery with host-derived dynamin-related proteins that form outer contractile rings. Here, we show that the mitochondrial division system of these model organisms is the exception, rather than the rule, for eukaryotes. We describe endosymbiont-derived, bacterial-like division systems comprising FtsZ and Min proteins in diverse less-studied eukaryote protistan lineages, including jakobid and heterolobosean excavates, a malawimonad, stramenopiles, amoebozoans, a breviate, and an apusomonad. For two of these taxa, the amoebozoan Dictyostelium purpureum and the jakobid Andalucia incarcerata, we confirm a mitochondrial localization of these proteins by their heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The discovery of a proteobacterial-like division system in mitochondria of diverse eukaryotic lineages suggests that it was the ancestral feature of all eukaryotic mitochondria and has been supplanted by a host-derived system multiple times in distinct eukaryote lineages.

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders such as Rett syndrome (RTT) have been hypothesized to arise from defects in experience-dependent synapse maturation. RTT is caused by mutations in MECP2, a nuclear protein that becomes phosphorylated at S421 in response to neuronal activation. We show here that disruption of MeCP2 S421 phosphorylation in vivo results in defects in synapse development and behavior, implicating activity-dependent regulation of MeCP2 in brain development and RTT. We investigated the mechanism by which S421 phosphorylation regulates MeCP2 function and show by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing that this modification occurs on MeCP2 bound across the genome. The phosphorylation of MeCP2 S421 appears not to regulate the expression of specific genes; rather, MeCP2 functions as a histone-like factor whose phosphorylation may facilitateM-CM-^BM-BM- a genome-wide response of chromatin to neuronal activity during nervous system development. We propose that RTT results in part from a loss of this experience-dependent chromatin remodeling. To examine MeCP2 binding across the neuronal genome and where on the genome MeCP2 is phosphorylated at Serine 421 in response to neuronal activity we performed anti-total MeCP2 and anti-phospho-Serine 421 specific Chromatin immunoprecipitation from cultured cortical neurons that were either left unstimulated or membrane depolarized for 2 hours by addition of 55mM KCl to the media. ChIP DNA was verified for successful IP by qPCR then cloned and sequenced using ABI SOLiD system 4. ChIP was performed from E16 +7DIV disociated cortical cultures from one or two independent dissections using an anti-c-terminal antiserum recognizing MeCP2 independent of its phosphorylation state or with an anti-pS421 antiserum that specifically immunoprecipitates MeCP2 phosphorylated at serine 421. Samples were qPCR validated and sequenced using ABI SOLiD system 4 library preparation and sequencing.

Project description:Complex organisms are able to rapidly induce select genes among thousands in response to diverse environmental cues. This occurs in the context of large genomes condensed with histone proteins into chromatin. The macrophage response to pathogen sensing, for example, rapidly engages highly conserved signaling pathways and transcription factors (TF) for coordination of inflammatory gene induction. Enriched integration of histone H3.3, the ancestral histone H3 variant, is a feature of inflammatory genes and, in general, dynamically regulated chromatin and transcription. However, little is known of how chromatin is regulated at rapidly induced genes and what features of H3.3, conserved from yeast to human, might enable rapid and high-level transcription. The amino-terminus of H3.3 contains a unique serine residue as compared with alanine residues found in “canonical” H3.1/2. We find that this H3.3-specific serine residue, H3.3S31, is phosphorylated (H3.3S31ph) in a stimulation-dependent manner along the gene-bodies of rapidly induced response genes in mouse macrophages responding to pathogen sensing. Further, this selective mark of stimulation-responsive genes directly engages histone methyltransferase (HMT) Setd2, a component of the active transcription machinery. Our structure-function studies reveal that a conserved positively charged cleft in Setd2 contacts H3.3S31ph and specifies preferential methylation of H3.3S31ph nucleosomes. We propose that features of H3.3, including H3.3S31ph, engage delegated mechanisms to afford selective and rapid transcription.

Project description:The bacterial envelope is an essential compartment involved in metabolism and metabolites transport, virulence, and stress defense. Its roles become more evident when homeostasis is challenged during host-pathogen interactions. In particular, the presence of free radical groups and excess copper in the periplasm causes noxious reactions, such as sulfhydryl group oxidation leading to enzymatic inactivation and protein denaturation. In response to this, canonical and accessory oxidoreductase systems are induced, performing quality control of thiol groups, and therefore contributing to restoring homeostasis and preserving survival under these conditions. Here, we examine recent advances in the characterization of the Dsb-like, Salmonella-specific Scs system. This system includes the ScsC/ScsB pair of Cu+-binding proteins with thiol-oxidoreductase activity, an alternative ScsB-partner, the membrane-linked ScsD, and a likely associated protein, ScsA, with a role in peroxide resistance. We discuss the acquisition of the scsABCD locus and its integration into a global regulatory pathway directing envelope response to Cu stress during the evolution of pathogens that also harbor the canonical Dsb systems. The evidence suggests that the canonical Dsb systems cannot satisfy the extra demands that the host-pathogen interface imposes to preserve functional thiol groups. This resulted in the acquisition of the Scs system by Salmonella. We propose that the ScsABCD complex evolved to connect Cu and redox stress responses in this pathogen as well as in other bacterial pathogens.
