Discovery of Age-Related Protein Folding Stability Differences in the Mouse Brain Proteome

ABSTRACT: Described here is the application of thermodynamic stability measurements to study age-related differences in the protein folding and stability of proteins in a rodent model of ageing. Using the Stability of Proteins from Rates of Oxidation (SPROX) technique the thermodynamic stability profiles were generated for 807 proteins in brain cell lystaes from mice, aged 6- (n=7) and 18-months (n=9). The biological variability of the protein stability measurements was low and within the experimental error of SPROX. A total of 83 protein hits were detected with age-related stability differences in the brain samples. Remarkably, the large majority of the brain protein hits were destabilized in the old mice, and the hits were enriched in proteins that have slow turnover rates (p <0.07). Furthermore, 70% of the hits have been previously linked to ageing or age-related diseases. These results help validate the use of thermodynamic stability measurements to capture relevant age-related proteomic changes, and they establish a new biophysical link between these proteins and ageing.

Project description:Large-scale studies of protein phosphorylation have generally focused on determining the sites and stoichiometry of phosphorylated proteins derived from different biological specimens such as cell lines and tissue samples. While such information is important for understanding the role of phosphorylation in biological systems, it fails to expose the relationship between protein phosphorylation and protein function. Because of the close link between protein function and protein folding stability, knowledge about phosphorylation-induced protein folding stability changes can lead to a better understanding of the functional effects of protein phosphorylation. As part of this work, the Stability of Proteins from Rate of OXidation (SPROX) and Limited Proteolysis (LiP) techniques were utilized to identify phosphorylation-induced conformational and stability changes in proteins derived from a human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. This was accomplished by comparing the conformation properties of proteins in two MCF-7 cell lysates including one that was and one that was not dephosphorylated with alkaline phosphatase. The SPROX technique, which probes the global unfolding/refolding properties of proteins, identified 168 proteins with dephosphorylation-induced stability changes, and the LiPs technique, which probes the more local unfolding/refolding properties of proteins, identified 251 proteins with dephosphorylation-induced stability changes. A total of 49 proteins identified here with dephosphorylation-induced conformational changes, were previously identified in phosphoproteomic studies to be differentially phosphorlyated in different human breast cancer subtypes. A total of 98 proteins identified here overlapped with protein hits previously found to be differentially stabilized in four human breast cancer phenotypes, suggesting that the phosphorylated changes observed here may be disease related. The experimental approach and results reported here create a novel approach for identifying functionally significant PTMs in proteins.
