Comprehensive analysis of symmetric arginine dimethylation in colorectal cancer tissues from patients using immuniaffinity enrichment followed by LC-MS/MS analysis

ABSTRACT: Post-translational arginine methylation is responsible for regulation of a variety of biological processes. The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is the major enzyme responsible for generating monomethyl- and symmetric dimethyl arginine (MMA and SDMA, respectively) in proteins. PRMT5 is essential for viability and normal development, and overexpressed in a wide variety of cancer types. In the present study, we found that the levels of PRMT5 and symmetric dimethylation in proteins from colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues are more highly maintained relative to adjacent normal tissues from patients. Using immunoaffinity enrichment of methylated peptides combined with high resolution mass spectrometry, a total of 147 SDMA sites from 94 proteins were identified. Most abundant methylated proteins identified from normal and CRC tissues are RNA processing proteins, transcriptional and translational regulators. Furthermore, when quantitative analysis of the two tissue types of samples was carried out, 77 SDMA sites exhibited statistically significant changes (>2.0-fold, p-value <0.05) between normal and CRC tissues. We confirmed KSRP, G3BP2 and TRIP6 which are more highly maintained in cancer tissues relative to adjacent normal tissues from same patients as well as the expression levels of the proteins. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of symmetric arginine dimethylation using clinical samples and suggests that the modification can be used in clinical application.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a major enzyme responsible for generating monomethyl and symmetric dimethyl arginine in proteins. PRMT5 is essential for cell viability and development, and its overexpression is observed in a variety of cancers. In the present study, it is found that levels of PRMT5 protein and symmetric arginine dimethylation in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues are increased compared to those in adjacent noncancerous tissues.

Project description:Protein methylation has been implicated in many important biological contexts including signaling, metabolism, and transcriptional control. Despite the importance of this post- translational modification, the global analysis of protein methylation by mass spectrometry-based proteomics has not been extensively studied due to the lack of robust, well-characterized techniques for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment. Here, to better investigate protein methylation, we optimized and compared two methods for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment: immunoaffinity purification (IAP) and high pH strong cation exchange (SCX). Comparison of these methods revealed that they are largely orthogonal for monomethyl arginine (MMA), suggesting that the usage of both techniques is required to provide a global view of protein methylation. Using both IAP and SCX, we investigated changes in protein methylation downstream of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Together, these techniques allowed us to quantify over ~1,000 arginine methylation sites on 407 proteins. Of these methylation sites, PRMT1 knockdown resulted in significant changes to 110 arginine methylation sites on 59 proteins. In contrast, zero lysine methylation sites were significantly changed upon PRMT1 knockdown. In PRMT1 knockdown cells, 24 MMA sites exhibited both significant downregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated MMA targets) and 63 significant upregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated ADMA targets). PRMT1 knockdown induced significant changes in asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA), consistent with being PRMT1 targets. Additionally, We also observed that PRMT1 knockdown induced significant increases in symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) methylation, suggesting that loss of PRMT1 activity allows scavenging of PRMT1 substrates by Type II PRMTs. Analysis of the subcellular localization and protein function of the significantly changing methyl-proteins revealed that the majority of PRMT1 substrates are localized to the nucleus and involved in RNA and DNA binding. Taken together, our results suggest that deep protein methylation profiling by mass spectrometry requires orthogonal enrichment techniques, identify novel PRMT1 methylation targets, and highlight in order to understand the dynamic interplay between methyltransferases in mammalian cells.
