Identification of peptide isoforms in gS-crystallin using stable isotope labeled peptides

ABSTRACT: ɣS-crystallin is a major protein of the human lens and is highly modified with age and cataract due to a lack of lens protein turnover. Previous studies have identified some sites of isomerization and racemization of deamidated asparaginyl and aspartyl residues in ɣS but have been limited due to the complexity of isoforms and difficulty characterizing deamidation post-translational modifications. A total of 32 stable isotope labeled peptides were created for ɣS residues 7-18, 72-78, and 131-145 containing L-Asp, D-Asp, L-isoAsp, and D-isoAsp at D12, N14, N76, D77, and N143 to act as internal chromatography standards spiked into tryptic digests of nuclear insoluble protein of a cataractous human lens. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to accurately assign deamidation status using the 19 mDa mass defect between isotopic peaks of deamidated and non-deamidated peptides. While peptides containing D-forms of Asp and isoAsp were assigned, the predominate isoforms contained L-isoAsp. High-resolution mass spectrometry using wide single ion monitoring- data-independent acquisition (WiSIM-DIA) also greatly improved the reliable identification of peptide deamidation states. These results will aid creation of ɣS using native chemical ligation to examine the role of isoAsp in crystallin aggregation and cataract.

Combined Metabolic and Chemical (CoMetChem) labeling using stable isotopes

Project description:Histone acetylation is an important, reversible posttranslational protein modification and hallmark of epigenetic regulation. However, little is known about the dynamics of reversible hisotne acetylation, due to the lack of analytical methods that can capture site-specific acetylation and deacetylation reactions. We present a new approach that combines metabolic and chemical labeling (CoMetChem) using uniformly 13C-labeled glucose and stable isotope labeled acetic anhydride, which allows to quantify site-specific lysine acetylation dynamics in tryptic peptides using high-resolution mass spectrometry.

RNAseq of Arabidopsis seedlings of either wt or hsl3-1, in response to a 30 minute treatment of 100 nM CTNIP4 relative to mock

Project description:In order to identify novel stress-induced signalling peptides, we searched for Arabidopsis thaliana transcripts encoding short proteins (<150 amino acids) with a predicted signal peptide, which were induced upon biotic elicitor treatment (Bjornson et al., 2021). Through this analysis, we identified an uncharacterised family of peptides with 5 predicted members, which we named CTNIP1 to 5 (pronounced catnip) based on relatively conserved residues within the peptides. CTNIP4 is perceived by Arabidopsis, inducing some hallmark outputs of defence (Pattern-Triggered Immunity) signalling. Mass spectrometric analyses indicated that HSL3 may be the receptor mediating CTNIP recognition. Through assaying transcriptomic responses in wild type and hsl3-1 mutants, we were able to confirm similarity of CTNIP and defence responses at the transcriptional level, and the dependence of these responses on HSL3.

tyrosine kinase oxidation by gas plasma

Project description:TKs (tyrosine kinases) dissolved in liquids were exposed to gas plasma, and a drastic reduction of their activity was observed. Hypothesizing that this was due to gas plasma-generated ROS, plasma-treated TKs were analyzed by high-resolution mass spectrometry for the type and quantity of oxPTM types using an in-house database. Preferred oxidation targets were identified as sulfur-containing and aromatic amino acids. OxPTMs were detected on amino acid residues that have important structural or catalytic functions in TKs, such as the ATP binding site, but also on amino acid residues that are targets for therapeutic applications, such as TK inhibitors.

Site-specific methylation and acetylation of lysine residues in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II

Project description:Dynamic modification of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) regulates transcription-coupled processes in eukaryotes. The CTD in mammals is composed of 52 heptad-repeats with the consensus sequence Y1-S2-P3-T4-S5-P6-S7. Repeats in the distal part of CTD deviate from the consensus sequence and have frequently replaced serine at position 7 by lysine residues (K7). Mass spectrometry analysis revealed modification of K7 residues in heptad-repeats 39, 42, and 47/49 by acetylation and in heptad-repeats 38, 39, 40, 42, and 47/49 by mono-, di-, or trimethylation. Notably, acetylated as well as di- and tri-methylated K7 residues were found exclusively in phosphorylated CTD peptides, while mono-methylated K7 residues occurred also in non-phosphorylated CTD peptides. Methylation of K7 residues was further studied with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1F5, which recognizes mono- and di-methylated K7 in CTD. ChIP experiments revealed high levels of K7 methylation at the transcriptional start site of genes. The low levels of K7 methylation in the body of genes results from impairment of epitope recognition in hyper-phosphorylated CTD by mAb 1F5. In agreement with this notion, phosphatase treatment of hyper-phosphorylated CTD or treatment of cells with kinase inhibitor flavopiridol restored the reactivity of mAb 1F5 towards methylated K7 residues in CTD. We conclude that methylation and acetylation of K7 residues further expand the mammalian CTD code and potentially contribute to regulation of gene expression.

Effect of phenylalanine-rich peptide on growth and survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb)

Project description:During our efforts to isolate potantial binding partners of Esat6, we isolated few peptides rich in phenylalanine residues that strongly interacted with Esat6. All peptides were less than fifty amino acids in length, One of them, Hcl1, when expressed in mycobacteria showed significant retardation in growth and survival within macrophages. Microarray analysis showed that Hcl1 affects a host of genes and cellular pathways. RNA was isolated from exponentially growing mycobacteria containing either plasmid vector pVV16 encoding peptide or vector pVV16 alone. Comparisons were made between Experimental (Mtb/Hcl1) and control (Mtb/pVV16) samples by extracting raw intensity values from multiple arrays.

Features of TAP independently presented MHC ligands revealed by quantitative mass spectrometry.

Project description:The TAP transporter is responsible for transferring cytosolic peptides into the ER where they can be loaded onto MHC molecules. Deletion of TAP results in a drastic reduction of MHC surface expression and alters the presented peptide pattern. Using the TAP deficient cell line LCL721.174 and its TAP expressing progenitor cell line LCL721.45, we have identified and quantified more than 160 HLA ligands, 50 out of which were presented TAP independently. Peptides which were predominantly presented on the TAP deficient LCL721.174 cell line had a decreased MHC binding affinity according to their SYFPEITHI and BIMAS score. About half of the identified TAP independently presented peptides were not derived from signal sequences and may partly be generated by the proteasome. Furthermore, we have excluded that different HLA presentation ratios were due to varying expression of the respective protein or due to changes in the antigen loading complex. Features of TAP-independently presented peptides as well as proteasomal contribution to their generation provides an insight into basic immunological mechanisms. Keywords: differential mass spectrometry, TAP independent, antigen presentation

Genome-wide methylation and expression analysis of two breast cancer cell lines [Methyl-MAPS]

Project description:To improve our understanding of the relationships between methylation and expression we profiled mRNA expression and single-base resolution methylation levels for two breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and T47D. Expression was profiled using RNA-seq. Methylation was assayed using Methyl-MAPS, which uses methylation-sensitive and -dependent restriction enzyme digests followed by high-throughput sequencing to identify methylation levels at individual CpGs (Edwards et al. 2010, Genome Research).

Single-nucleotide resolution mapping of m6A and m6Am throughout the transcriptome

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modified base in eukaryotic mRNA and has been linked to diverse effects on mRNA fate and function. Current m6A mapping approaches rely on immunoprecipitation of m6A-containing RNA fragments to identify regions of transcripts that contain m6A. This approach localizes m6A residues to 100-200 nt-long regions of transcripts. The precise position of m6A in mRNAs cannot be identified on a transcriptome-wide level because there are no chemical methods to distinguish between m6A and adenosine. Here we show that anti-m6A antibodies can induce specific mutational signatures at m6A residues after ultraviolet light-induced antibody-RNA crosslinking and reverse transcription. Similarly, we find these antibodies induce mutational signatures at N6, 2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), a nucleotide found at the first encoded position of certain mRNAs. Using these mutational signatures, we map m6A and m6Am at single-nucleotide resolution in human and mouse mRNA and identify snoRNAs as a novel class of m6A-containing ncRNAs. UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation with m6A-specific antibodies was used to map m6A and m6Am in cellular RNA with single nucleotide resolution.
