Re-analysis of Hela phosphoproteome (PXD000612) with TagGraph

ABSTRACT: Thousands of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) dynamically impact nearly all cellular functions. Although mass spectrometry is suited to PTM identification, it has historically been biased towards a few with established enrichment procedures. To measure all possible PTMs across diverse proteomes, software must overcome two fundamental challenges: intractably large search spaces and difficulty distinguishing correct from incorrect identifications. Here, we describe TagGraph, software that overcomes both challenges with a string-based search method that is orders of magnitude faster than current approaches, and a probabilistic validation model optimized for PTM assignments. When applied to a human proteome map, TagGraph triples confident identifications while revealing thousands of modification types spanning nearly one million sites across the proteome. We show new contexts for highly abundant yet understudied PTMs such as proline hydroxylation. TagGraph expands our ability to survey the full proteomic landscape of PTMs, shedding new light on their tissue-specific functions.

Although mass spectrometry is well suited to identifying thousands of potential protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), it has historically been biased towards just a few. To measure the entire set of PTMs across diverse proteomes, software must overcome the dual challenges of covering enormous search spaces and distinguishing correct from incorrect spectrum interpretations. Here, we describe TagGraph, a computational tool that overcomes both challenges with an unrestricted string-based ...[more]

Project description:During the colonization of hosts, bacterial pathogens are presented with many challenges that must be overcome for colonization to successfully occur. This requires bacterial sensing of the surroundings and adaptation to the conditions encountered. One of the major impediments to pathogen colonization of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract is the antibacterial action of bile. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has specific mechanisms involved in resistance to bile. Besides being resistant to it, Salmonella can also successfully multiply in bile, using it as a source of nutrients. This accomplishment is highly relevant to pathogenesis, as Salmonella colonizes the gallbladder of hosts, where it can be carried asymptomatically and promote further host spread and transmission. In order to gain insights into the mechanisms used by Salmonella to grow in bile, we studied the changes elicited by Salmonella in the chemical composition of bile during growth in vitro and in vivo through a metabolomics approach. Our data suggest that phospholipids are an important source of carbon and energy for Salmonella during growth in the laboratory as well as during gallbladder infections of mice. Further studies in this area will generate a better understanding of how Salmonella exploits this generally hostile environment for its own benefit. For in vitro studies, bile was extracted from C57BL/6 mice and used immediately. An overnight culture of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 was used to inoculate 10 ?L of bile at an approximate density of 5x10^6 cells/mL. The experiment was performed in duplicate, and a total of 2 uninfected and 2 infected bile samples were studied. Samples were incubated for 24 hours at 37 oC with shaking. After incubation, samples were centrifuged to remove bacteria and the supernatant was saved for metabolomic analyses. For in vivo studies, C57BL/6 mice were infected with approximately 10^8 bacterial cells by oral gavage. Four groups of three to four mice each were either infected with Salmonella or kept uninfected (total of 11 mice per treatment group). Five days after infection, all mice were sacrificed and bile was collected. Samples were centrifuged and supernatants saved for metabolomic analyses. Samples were prepared by mixing equal volumes of bile from three to four mice, generating three samples per treatment (uninfected and infected), which were used in the subsequent steps. Seven microliters of each sample was evaporated and the residue resuspended in 50% acetonitrine. Extracts were infused into a 12-T Apex-Qe hybrid quadrupole-FT-ICR mass spectrometer equipped with an Apollo II electrospray ionization source, a quadrupole mass filter and a hexapole collision cell. Raw mass spectrometry data were processed as described elsewhere (Han et al. 2008. Metabolomics. 4:128-140). To identify differences in metabolite composition between different groups of samples, we filtered the list of masses for metabolites which were present on one set of samples but not the other. Additionally, we calculated the ratios between averaged intensities of metabolites from each group of mice. To assign possible metabolite identities to the masses selected as described above, the monoisotopic neutral masses of interest were queried against the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB, http://www.hmdb.ca), with a tolerance of 0.001 Da.

Project description:Peptides displayed by MHC molecules on a cell’s surface, referred to as its immunopeptidome, play an important role in the adaptive the immune response. Antigen processing for MHC class I presentation is a ubiquitous pathway present in all nucleated cells which generate and present peptides of both self and non-self origin. Peptides with post-translational modifications (PTMs) are one of the classes of peptides presented by MHC class I molecules. However, due to the high background of self-peptides presented by the cells, the diversity of peptides with post-translational modifications is not well reported. In this study, we have carried out MHC Class I immunopeptidomics analysis on Jurkat and A375 cell lines to characterize the diversity of post-translational modifications among MHC class I peptides. Using high resolution mass spectrometry, we identified 25,761 MHC-bound peptides across both the cell lines using Bolt and Sequest search engines. High specificity of the enrichment method is demonstrated by identifying ~90% of the peptides with typical length distribution of 8-12 aa and enriched motifs within those peptides similar to the binding motifs of MHC alleles. Among the MHC-bound peptides, we identified phosphorylation as a major post-translational modification followed by deamidation. We observed site-specific localization of these post-translational modifications, at position P4 for phosphorylated peptides and position P3 for deamidated peptides. We identified a smaller number of peptides with acetylated and methylated lysine, possibly due to very low stoichiometric levels of these post-translational modifications compared to phosphorylation and deamidation. Using PEAKS de novo sequencing algorithm, we identified spliced peptides that account for ~5-7% of MHC-bound peptides across the two cell lines. These peptides share similar features with respect to normal MHC-bound peptides such as peptide length distribution and binding motifs. We validated the identification of several post-translationally modified peptides and spliced peptides using synthetic peptide sequences. In conclusion, our study demonstrates unbiased identification of these low stoichiometric PTMs and unusual spliced peptides using high resolution mass spectrometry.
