Quantitative metaproteomics and activity-based probe enrichment on fecal samples from a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease

ABSTRACT: Tandem mass spectrometry based shotgun proteomics of distal gut microbiomes is exceedingly difficult due to the inherent complexity and taxonomic diversity of the samples. We introduce two new methodologies to improve metaproteomic studies of microbiome samples. These methods include the stable isotope labeling in mammals to permit protein quantitation across the two mouse cohorts, as well as the application of activity-based probes to enrich and analyze both host and microbial proteins with specific functionalities. We used these technologies to study the microbiota from the adoptive T cell transfer mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and compare these samples to an isogenic control; thereby, limiting genetic and environmental variables that influence microbiome composition.
