Proteomic Analysis of Protein Methylation in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

ABSTRACT: Protein methylation catalyzed by SAM-dependent methyltransferase represents a major PTM involved in important biological processes. Because methylation can occur on nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur centers and multiple methylation states exist on the nitrogen centers, methylproteome remains poorly documented. Here we present the methylation by isotope labeled SAM (MILS) strategy for a highly-confident analysis of the methylproteome of the SAM-auxotrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on the online multidimensional μHPLC/MS/MS technology. We identified 117 methylated proteins, containing 182 methylation events associated with 174 methylation sites. About 90% of these methylation events were previously unknown. Our results indicated, 1) over 6% of the yeast proteome are methylated, 2) the amino acid residue preference of protein methylation follows the order Lys >> Arg > Asp > Glu ≈ Gln ≈ Asp > His > Cys, 3) the methylation state on nitrogen center is largely exclusive, and 4) the methylated proteins are located mainly in nucleus/ribosome associated with translation/transcription and DNA/RNA processing. Our dataset is the most comprehensive methylproteome known-to-date of all living organisms, and should significantly contribute to the field of protein methylation and related research.

Project description:PRMT5 is the major enzyme that catalyzes the symmetric dimethylation of arginine (sDMA) in mammalian cells. Its activity is crucial for many biological processes including transcriptional regulation, mRNA processing, as well as DNA damage and repair. However, the protein substrates identified for PRMT5 have yet been limited in numbers, hindering the understanding of PRMT5 functions in normal as well as diseased cells. Herein we developed an optimized strategy for proteomic profiling of cellular sDMA and apply it to the discovery of novel PRMT5 substrates. Our results show that a combination of proteolytic digestion by the metalloprotease ulilysin and using electron-transfer dissociation with supplemental activation as the mass spectrometry method significantly increased sDMA site identification and localization after immuno-affinity enrichment. By employing SILAC-based differential quantitative proteomic approach and a PRMT5 specific inhibitor, we identified 325 sDMA sites being regulated by PRMT5, 220 being novel sites, which greatly expanded the number of PRMT5 substrates. Biochemical studies confirmed the newly discovered PRMT5 substrate, Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 RNA-binding protein (SERBP1) and revealed that the RGG/RG motif in the central region of SERBP1 contains both PRMT5-catalyzed sDMA and Type I PRMT-catalyzed asymmetric dimethylation of arginine (aDMA). Unexpectedly, using the optimized methylarginine profiling strategy, we also discovered arginine trimethylation, a previously unknown type of modification, on the central RGG/RG region of SERBP1. By mutational studies we demonstrated that the trimethyl modification on R172 of SERBP1 regulates its recruitment to stress granule (SG) under oxidative stress, indicating a functional role of arginine trimethylation in the cell. Overall, the optimized profiling strategy not only enabled the identification of extensive, non-overlapping sDMA sites and novel PRMT5 substrates, but also revealed a potentially important new PTM, arginine trimethylation. The work lays the foundation for further investigations on the functional interplay of different methylation modifications on arginines, especially in the heavily methylated RGG/RG motif of many RNA-binding proteins.
