Human Testis LC-MS/MS - Multi-Protease Strategy Identifies Three PE2 Missing Proteins in Human Testis Tissue

ABSTRACT: Missing proteins(MPs) investigation is one of the critical missions of Chromosome-based Human Proteome Project(C-HPP). Through analyzing sequence of MPs from neXtProt database, we found that there are no detectable tryptic peptides for some MPs. Here, we attmept a multi-enzymes strategy to cover this problem. Lys-C, Glu-C and LysargiNase are used to produce more unique and detectable peptides of MPs.

Although 5 years of the missing proteins (MPs) study have been completed, searching for MPs remains one of the core missions of the Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP). Following the next-50-MPs challenge of the C-HPP, we have focused on the testis-enriched MPs by various strategies since 2015. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of MPs (2017-01, neXtProt) using multiprotease digestion, we found that nonconventional proteases (e.g. LysargiNase, GluC) could improve the peptide ...[more]

Project description:In recent years, high-throughput technologies have contributed to development a more precise picture of the human proteome. However, 2,129 proteins remain listed as missing proteins (MPs) in the newest neXtProt release (2019-02). The main reasons for MPs are a low abundance, low-molecular-weight (LMW), unexpected modifications, membrane characteristics, etc. Moreover, more than 50% of the MS/MS data have not been successfully identified in shotgun proteomics. Open-pFind, an efficient open search engine, recently released by the pFind group in China, presents an opportunity to identify these buried MPs in complex samples. Proteins and potential MPs were identified using Open-pFind and three other search engines to compare their performance and efficiency with three large-scale datasets digested by different enzymes. Our results demonstrated that Open-pFind identified 29.9-47.5% more peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs), 48.0-63.9% more peptides sequences (with modifications) and 22.7-38.1% more peptide sequences (regardless of modifications) than those identified by the second-best search engine. As a result, Open-pFind detected 7.5-19.3% more candidate MPs than those by the second-best search engine. In total, 5 (PE2) of the 150 candidate MPs identified by Open-pFind were verified from two unique peptides containing more than 9 amino acids (AA) by using spectrum theoretical prediction with pDeep, and synthesized peptide matching with pBuild, after spectrum quality analysis, isobaric post-translational modification, and single amino acid variant (SAAV) filtering. These five verified MPs can be ranked in the PE1 level. In addition, three other candidate MPs were verified with two unique peptides (one peptide containing more than 9 AA) and the other containing only 8 AA), which were slightly lower than the criteria listed by C-HPP, and required additional verification information. More importantly, unexpected modifications were detected in these MPs. Another 141 MPs were listed as candidates, but required additional verification information.

Project description:Environmental reproductive health focuses on the effect of exposure to contaminants considered as endocrine disruptors. Developmental testis is considered as target of these compounds affecting testicular functions in adults and suspected implications in tumor etiology. Comparative analysis of gene expression in mouse testis exposed to five disruptors, three different dosages and three accumulative developmental stages shown defined signature profiles of gene deregulation for MEHP (monoethyl phthalate) and zearalenone (a phytoestrogen) and different to 17β-estradiol exposure. The effects are even detected in postpuberal male offspring from premating exposed mothers. Oxidative stress response, protein ubiquitination and oxidative phosphorylation are the most representative pathways affected. Animal Exposure CD-1 mice were in vivo exposed to several doses of EDs following a defined protocol: mothers were exposed two weeks before mating (exposure A); the same exposure and dose were maintained during pregnancy (exposure B) and four weeks after birth (exposure C). In all exposures, male offspring were sacrificed to obtain the testes. The compounds were administrated in drinking water to a final concentration of: E2(mg/l) BPA(mg/l) Zea(mg/l) MEHP(mg/l) Lindane(mg/l) Dose (1) 0.02 0.5 4 27.85 50 Dose (2) 0.04 50 12 139.17 100 Dose (3) 0.16 200 20 278.34 200 Ethanol was used as vehicle for E2, BPA and Zea and DMSO was for MEHP and Lindane. Control testes were obtained from animals exposed to solvents of EDs: Ethanol and DMSO. Animal care and sacrifice were made following regulations from the CSIC Bioethics Committee. RNA preparation Total RNA from testes of exposed animals and controls was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol. RNA samples were spectrophotometrically quantified using NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies). To minimize the effect of inter-individual expression variability we made pools of RNA from at least 3 individual RNA samples from each experimental condition (same quantity of total RNA per sample). Pools of RNA were checked for quality performing Experion analysis (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Total RNA from testes of unexposed four weeks old animals was also extracted with the purpose of making pools to assess the variability at the expression level of the mouse strain used (Ctr). Microarray Processing Starting with total RNA from pools described above, full length cDNAs were synthesized from oligo(dT) primers bearing a T7 promoter. These cDNAs were used as template for in vitro transcription by T7-RNA-Polymerase to amplify the mRNAs; following the Amino Allyl MessageAmp™ aRNA Kit (Ambion, Inc.) protocol. The amplified mRNAs (aRNA) were labeled either with Cy3 or Cy5 dyes, using Amersham CyDye Post-Labeling Reactive Dyes (Amersham Biosciences). The incorporated dye was spectrophotometrically quantified using NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies). The same dye signal quantities of labeled experimental and control aRNAs were mixed and hybridized to Mouse Oligoset v3 (OPERON) arrays from Genomics facility-University of Cincinnati (USA). The slides contained 31,769 spotted probes (70 mer oligonucleotides) corresponding to 24,878 expressed or predicted mouse genes. Hybridization and washes of microarrays were performed according to Genomics facility-University of Cincinnati instructions. Dye-Swap replicates were performed: one slide hybridized with experimental and control targets labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively; and the second slide with the same type of targets but inversely labeled. Target refers to labeled aRNA while probe refers to the oligonucleotides spotted on the microarray platform. Imaging and data generation were carried out using a GenePix 4000B (Axon Instruments) and associated software from Axon Instruments, Inc. The microarray slides were scanned with dual lasers with wavelength frequencies to excite Cy3 and Cy5. Images were captured in TIFF files. Information extraction for a given spot was based on the median value for the signal pixels minus the median value for the background pixels to produce a gene set data file for all the DNA spots. The Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence signal intensities were normalized.
