Extensive arginine phosphorylation in Staphylococcus aureus is influences by Stp1

ABSTRACT: Ever since the identification of the first protein-arginine kinase, McsB, in B. subtilis arginine phosphorylation gained more attention. However, the analysis of phosphorylations especially phosphormaidates comes along with several challenges. The sub-stoichiometric nature of protein phosphorylation requires proper enrichment strategies prior to LC-MS/MS analysis and the acid instability of phosphoramidates was long though to impede those enrichments. Further good spectral quality is required which can be reduced by the presence of neutral losses of phosphoric acid upon higher energy collision induced dissociation. Adaptation of common enrichment strategies to less acidic conditions and the use of electron-transfer dissociation allowed the identification of more than 200 pArg sites in B. subtilis and S. aureus so far. Here we show that pArg is stable enough for commonly used Fe3+-IMAC enrichment followed by LC-MS/MS and that HCD is still the gold standard for phosphoproteomics. By profiling a serine/ threonine kinase (Stk1) and phosphatase (Stp1) mutant from a methicillin-resistant S. aureus mutant library, we identified 1062 pArg sites and thus the most comprehensive arginine phosphoproteome to date. Using synthetic phosphoarginine peptides we validated the presence and localization of arginine phosphorylation in S. aureus and lastly, we could show that Stp1 is influencing the arginine phosphoproteom without being a protein-arginine phosphatase.

Arginine phosphorylation was only recently discovered to play a significant and relevant role in the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis. In addition, arginine phosphorylation was also detected in Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting a widespread role in bacteria. However, the large-scale analysis of protein phosphorylation, and especially those that involve a phosphoramidate bond, comes along with several challenges. The substoichiometric nature of protein phosphorylation requires proper enr ...[more]

Project description:To achieve the extreme nuclear condensation necessary for sperm function, most histones are replaced with protamines during spermiogenesis in mammals. Mature sperm retain only a small fraction of nucleosomes, which are, in part, enriched on gene regulatory sequences, and recent findings suggest that these retained histones provide epigenetic information that regulates expression of a subset of genes involved in embryo development after fertilization. We addressed this tantalizing hypothesis by analyzing two mouse models exhibiting abnormal histone positioning in mature sperm due to impaired poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) metabolism during spermiogenesis and identified altered sperm histone retention in specific gene loci genome-wide using MNase digestion-based enrichment of mononucleosomal DNA. We then set out to determine the extent to which expression of these genes was altered in embryos generated with these sperm. For control sperm, most genes showed some degree of histone association, unexpectedly suggesting that histone retention in sperm genes is not an all-or-none phenomenon and that a small number of histones may remain associated with genes throughout the genome. The amount of retained histones, however, was altered in many loci when PAR metabolism was impaired. To ascertain whether sperm histone association and embryonic gene expression are linked, the transcriptome of individual 2-cell embryos derived from such sperm was determined using microarrays and RNA sequencing. Strikingly, a moderate but statistically significant portion of the genes that were differentially expressed in these embryos also showed different histone retention in the corresponding gene loci in sperm of their fathers. These findings provide new evidence for the existence of a linkage between sperm histone retention and gene expression in the embryo. Mnase sensitivity of sperm DNA, indicating nucleosomal, not protamine, packaging was altered in mice by manipulating poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism in adult males using Parg gene disruption (Parg(110)-/-). Abnormal sperm nucleosomal organization of males analyzed by these tiling arrays was compared with differential gene expression in individual 2 cell embryos fathered by these males analyzed in separate expression microarrays.
