Validation of a novel shotgun proteomic workflow for the discovery of protein-protein interactions: focus on ZNF521

ABSTRACT: The study of protein-protein interactions is increasingly relying on mass spectrometry (MS). The classical approach of separating immunoprecipitated proteins by SDS-PAGE followed by in-gel digestion is long and labour-intensive. Besides, it is difficult to integrate it with most quantitative MS-based workflows, except for stable isotopic labelling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). This work describes a fast, flexible and quantitative workflow for the discovery of novel proteinprotein interactions. A cleavable cross-linker, dithiobis[succinimidyl propionate] (DSP), is utilized to stabilize protein complexes before immunoprecipitation. Protein complex detachment from the antibody is achieved by limited proteolysis. Finally, protein quantitation is performed via 18O labelling. The workflow has been optimized concerning: (i) DSP concentration and (ii) incubation times for limited proteolysis, using the stem cell-associated transcription co-factor ZNF521 as a model target. The interaction of ZNF521 with the core components of the nuclear remodelling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex, already reported in the literature, was confirmed. Additionally, interactions with newly discovered molecular partners of potentially relevant functional role, such as ZNF423, Spt16, Spt5, were discovered and validated by Western blotting.

Project description:Formaldehyde fixation is widely used for long-term maintenance of tissue. However, due to formaldehyde-induced cross-links, fixated tissue proteins are difficult to extract hampering the performance of mass spectrometry (MS)-proteomic analysis on formaldehyde-fixated tissue. Recent years saw the use of different combinations of high-temperature and solubilizing agents (usually derived from antigen retrieval techniques) to unravel formaldehyde-fixated paraffin-embedded tissue proteomes. However, in order to achieve protein extraction yields similar to fresh-frozen tissue high-temperature heating is necessary. Such harsh extraction conditions may affect, labile post-translational modifications such as phosphorylations resulting in the loss of important protein information. The objective of the present work is to assess cleavable fixative reagents that allow tissue preservation as well as efficient protein extraction from fixated tissue for MS-proteomics under mild conditions. To this regard, we investigated disuccinimidyl tartrate (DST) and dithiobis[succinimidylpropionate] (DSP) as cleavable fixating reagents. These compounds crosslink proteins by reacting with amino groups leading to amide bond formation. Linkers can be cleaved with sodium metaperiodate (cis-diols) or reducing agents (disulfide bonds), respectively. Our results show that reversible protein crosslinking allows tissue fixation with morphology preservation comparable to formalin. In addition, cleavage of DSP improves protein recovery from fixated tissue by a factor of 18 and increases the number of identified proteins by approximately 20% under mild extraction conditions avoiding the need for sample boiling, which could affect labile post-translational modifications. A major advantage of DSP over formaldehyde is the introduction of well-defined protein modifications that can be taken into account during database searching. In contrast to DSP fixation, DST fixation followed by periodic cleavage, while effective, resulted in side reactions that prevented effective protein extraction and subsequent protein identification. Protein crosslinkers, which can be cleaved under mild conditions, are thus viable alternatives to formaldehyde as tissue fixatives facilitating protein analysis from paraffin embedded, fixated tissue.

Project description:The investigation contains two sets of experiment. Set I. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated WT A. thaliana (WS ecotype) (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT): Set II. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated ABR17- A. thaliana lines (100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17). Tissue for microarray analysis was obtained by placing surface sterilized seeds of A. thaliana (line 6.9) and the WT on half strength Murashige & Skoog (MS)(Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium (1.5% sucrose, 0.8% agar with pH 5.7) medium in Petri dishes with or without 100mM NaCl at RT (21 ± 2 °C) after surface sterilization. The seeds were surface sterilized by rinsing with 70% ethanol for one minute, incubation in 20% bleach for 15 min and subsequent washes (four times for 5min each) to remove the bleach. MS plates with the seeds were placed at RT (21 ± 2 °C) under continuous fluorescent light 30 ?mol m-2 s-1 for 14 days. Seedlings (14 day-old) from three independently grown biological replicates in two set of experiments were removed from the MS plates, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80 °C until used for RNA extraction. Technical protocols for preparing the hybridization extract: 1. RNA was isolated using the QIAGEN RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc., Mississauga, ON, Canada) from two-week-old WT (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) and ABR17 (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) seedling tissue grown at three independent times (biological replicates). The integrity of all RNA samples assessed by agarose gel (1.2 percent) electrophoresis. 2. 6 ?g (Six micrograms) of total RNA was used to synthesize cDNAs using SuperScript® II RT (Invitrogen Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) with RT polyA-capture primers in 3D Array 900TM (Genisphere Inc., Hatfield, PA, USA). Each pair of treated (100mM NaCl) and untreated (0mM NaCl) samples within each of the three biological replicates from two sets of experiments (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT ; 100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17) was labelled in a reciprocal dye-swap design, for a total of 12 hybridizations. Note: In the transgenic plant production, the pea cDNA encoding for ABR17 was constitutively expressed under the control of Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter.
