Project description:People with HIV (PWH) experience an increased vulnerability to premature aging and inflammation-associated comorbidities, even when HIV replication is suppressed by antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the factors that contribute to or are associated with this vulnerability remain uncertain. In the general population, alterations in the glycomes of circulating IgGs trigger inflammation and precede the onset of aging-associated diseases. Here, we investigate the IgG glycomes of cross-sectional and longitudinal samples from 1,216 women and men, both living with virally suppressed HIV and those without HIV. Our glycan-based machine learning models indicate that living with chronic HIV significantly accelerates the accumulation of pro-aging associated glycomic alterations. Consistently, PWH exhibit heightened expression of senescence associated glycan-degrading enzymes compared to their controls. These glycomic alterations correlate with elevated markers of inflammatory aging and the severity of comorbidities, potentially preceding the development of such comorbidities. Mechanistically, HIV-specific antibodies glycoengineered with these alterations exhibit reduced anti-HIV IgG-mediated innate immune functions. These findings hold significant potential for the development of glycomic based biomarkers and tools to identify and prevent premature aging and comorbidities in people living with chronic viral infections.

Project description:Ubash3b, also known as suppressor of T-cell receptor signaling or Sts-1, is an ill-studied atypical tyrosine phosphatase with ubiquitin binding ability. In our previous study, we hypothesized that Ubash3b plays an inhibitory role in BCR-ABL signaling through binding and dephosphorylating BCR-ABL and its interactors. The Hantschel lab recently solved the crystal structures of the p210 PH and DH domains, which are absent in the p190 variant, and demonstrated that loss-of-function mutations in the PH domain altered BCR-ABL localization, thereby reducing the interaction between Ubash3b and p2104. Taken together, this suggests differential subcellular localization of Ubash3b as a mechanism by which it interacts more strongly with p201 as compared to p190. To better understand the global impact Ubash3b has on p210, its direct kinase substrates and proteins in its phosphotyrosine signaling network, we have taken an integrative approach by combining global phosphotyrosine profiling, proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID) and total protein analysis to investigate p210 signaling upon Ubash3b knockdown (KD). The BioID system was used to characterize Ubash3b function in p210 signaling by examining its interactome. Importantly, in all of our BioID experiments, we employed a newly technique that we have recently developed, Biotinylation Site Identification Technology (BioSITe), which directly identifies biotinylated peptides thereby increasing the reliability of the identified interactors. Here, we additionally used short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference and generated Ubash3b knock-down (KD) and non-targeting control shRNA lines in Ba/F3 BirA*-p210 cells. Ubash3b expression was reduced >90 % in the KD cells and had a substantial effect on global tyrosine phosphorylation and on the interactome of p210. Of the 1,421 unique tyrosine phosphorylation sites identified from 830 proteins, 379 sites (from 286 proteins) exhibited a substantial increase (≥2-fold) in tyrosine phosphorylation upon Ubash3b KD cells compared to control cells. To date, the interactome of Ubash3b has not been extensively investigated, however, some examination of Ubash3b in the context p210 signaling has been undertaken. We designed constructs of C-terminal BirA* tagged full length Ubash3b and a deletion mutant lacking the UBA and SH3 domains leaving only the phosphatase domain tethered to BirA*. A comparative analysis of the core interactors of p210 from previous studies and Ubash3b interactome from the current study revealed 36 proteins that interact with both p210 and Ubash3b.

Project description:Proteomics, the temporal study of proteins expressed by an organism, is a powerful technique that can reveal how organisms respond to biological perturbations, such as disease and environmental stress. Yet, the use of proteomics for addressing ecological questions has been limited, partly due to inadequate protocols for the sampling and preparation of animal tissues from the field. Although RNAlater is an ideal alternative to freezing for tissue preservation in transcriptomics studies, its suitability for the field could be more broadly examined. Moreover, existing protocols require samples to be preserved immediately to maintain protein integrity, yet the effects of delays in preservation on proteomic analyses have not been thoroughly tested. Hence, we optimised a proteomic workflow for wild-caught samples. First, we conducted a preliminary in-lab test using SDS-PAGE analysis on aquaria-reared Octopus berrima confirming that RNAlater can effectively preserve proteins up to 6 h after incubation, supporting its use in the field. Subsequently, we collected arm tips from wild-caught Octopus berrima and preserved them in homemade RNAlater immediately, 3 h, and 6 h after euthanasia. Processed tissue samples were analysed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to ascertain protein differences between time delay in tissue preservation, as well as the influence of sex, tissue type, and tissue homogenisation methods. Over 3500 proteins were identified from all tissues, with bioinformatic analysis revealing protein abundances were largely consistent regardless of sample treatment. However, nearly 10 % additional proteins were detected from tissues homogenised with metal beads compared to liquid nitrogen methods, indicating the beads were more efficient at extracting proteins. Our optimised workflow demonstrates that sampling non-model organisms from remote field sites is achievable and can facilitate extensive proteomic coverage without compromising protein integrity.

Project description:We used a limited proteolysis-coupled mass spectrometry approach to pinpoint binding sites of cortisol on SARS-CoV-2 S1. Binding target identification is based on the principle that small-ligand binding alters (increases or decreases) the protease accessibility of the target protein37,38. The binding of the ligand (cortisol) to the target protein (SARS-CoV-2 S1) induces perturbations/conformational changes at the binding sites which can lead to either facilitating or preventing proteolysis by non-specific proteases (thermolysin and trypsin)37,38. We subjected SARS-CoV-2 S1 incubated with either cortisol or vehicle to proteolysis by thermolysin followed by trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry-based identification of the resultant peptides. We found that cortisol either facilitated or prevented S1 proteolytic cleavage at discrete sites. Six unique peptides were identified that were only present for SARS-CoV-2 S1 incubated with either cortisol or vehicle.

Project description:The formation of condensates in membraneless organelles is thought to be driven by protein phase separation. Arginine methylation and serine/threonine phosphorylation are important in the phase separation process, however these post-translational modifications are often present in intrinsically disordered regions that are difficult to analyse with standard proteomic techniques. Here we use a multi-protease and multi-MS/MS fragmentation approach, coupled with heavy methyl SILAC and phospho- or methyl-peptide enrichment, for the analysis of arginine methylation and serine/threonine phosphorylation, and to understand their co-occurrence in condensate-associated proteins. For Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we report a 50% increase in the known arginine methylproteome, involving 15 proteins that are almost all condensate-associated. Importantly, some of these proteins have arginine methylation on all predicted sites – providing evidence that this modification can be pervasive. We explored whether arginine methylated condensate-associated proteins are also phosphorylated, and found 12 such proteins to carry phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. In Npl3, Ded1 and Ssbp1, single peptides were found to carry both modifications, indicating a co-occurrence in close proximity and on the same protein molecule. We show that these co-modifications occur in regions of disorder and that arginine methylation is typically on basic regions of disorder. For phosphorylation, its association with charged regions of condensate-associated proteins was less consistent, although some regions with multisite phosphorylation sites were strongly acidic. We conclude that arginine-methylated proteins associated with condensates are typically co-modified with protein phosphorylation.

Project description:Protein methylation catalyzed by SAM-dependent methyltransferase represents a major PTM involved in important biological processes. Because methylation can occur on nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur centers and multiple methylation states exist on the nitrogen centers, methylproteome remains poorly documented. Here we present the methylation by isotope labeled SAM (MILS) strategy for a highly-confident analysis of the methylproteome of the SAM-auxotrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on the online multidimensional μHPLC/MS/MS technology. We identified 117 methylated proteins, containing 182 methylation events associated with 174 methylation sites. About 90% of these methylation events were previously unknown. Our results indicated, 1) over 6% of the yeast proteome are methylated, 2) the amino acid residue preference of protein methylation follows the order Lys >> Arg > Asp > Glu ≈ Gln ≈ Asp > His > Cys, 3) the methylation state on nitrogen center is largely exclusive, and 4) the methylated proteins are located mainly in nucleus/ribosome associated with translation/transcription and DNA/RNA processing. Our dataset is the most comprehensive methylproteome known-to-date of all living organisms, and should significantly contribute to the field of protein methylation and related research.

Project description:The protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 is overexpressed in various human cancers and linked to poor response to therapy. Although various inhibitors targeting its activity are under development, we still do not fully understand how PRMT1 is involved in the cellular processes underpinning tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. Mass spectrometry–based proteomics revealed PRMT1 as a regulator of global arginine methylation changes in response to replicative stress in cancer cells. We show that, upon cisplatin, DNA-dependent protein kinase binds to- and phosphorylates PRMT1, inducing its chromatin recruitment and redirecting its enzymatic activity from soluble protein targets towards the histone substrate Arg3 of histone H4 (H4R3). On chromatin, DNA-PK/PRMT1 axis induces the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype through the deposition of H4R3me2a at the pro-inflammatory gene promoters and by sustaining p65 binding to chromatin. Finally, PRMT1 inhibition reduced the clonogenic outgrowth of ovarian cancer cells exposed to low doses of CDDP and sensitized them to apoptosis. While unravelling a novel role of PRMT1 in replication stress response, our findings suggest the opportunity of targeting PRMT1 to sensitize cancer cells to genotoxic chemotherapeutics.

Project description:In current study, we developed a molecular affinity strategy based on the Tudor domain of SMN, a naturally occurring methylarginine reader protein, for comprehensive proteomic profiling of cellular arginine methylation. We demonstrated that the Tudor domain-based approach exhibits broad specificity for proteins harboring mono- or di-methylated arginines, encompassing both RGG/RG-rich and non-RG motifs, facilitating the discovery of novel methylation sites. Using this strategy, we identified asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA) at the N-terminal of eIF3D, an essential component of the eukaryotic translation initiation complex. Biochemical analysis revealed that aDMA modification at R99 of eIF3D plays a regulatory role in protein translation initiation. Our findings establish a generally applicable approach for proteomic profiling of arginine methylation and unveil its novel regulatory role for this modification in eukaryotic protein translation.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is a tightly controlled multi-step process operated in the nucleus by the activity of the Large Drosha Complex (LDC). Through high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) analysis we discovered that the LDC is extensively methylated, with 82 distinct methylated sites associated to 16 out of 23 subunits of the LDC. The majority of these modifications occurs on arginine (R)- residues (61), leading to 86 methylation events, while 29 lysine (K)-methylation events occurs on 21 sites of the complex. Interestingly, the depletion and pharmacological inhibition of PRMT1 lead to a widespread alteration of the methylation state of the complex and induce global decrease of miRNA expression, as a consequence of the specific impairment of the pri-to-pre-miRNA processing step. In particular, we show that the reduced methylation of the ILF3 subunit of the complex is linked to its diminished binding to the target pri-miRNAs. Overall, our study uncovers a previously uncharacterized role of R-methylation in the regulation of the LDC activity in mammalian cells, thus effecting global miRNA levels.

Project description:All large-scale LC-MS/MS post-translational methylation site discovery experiments require methylpeptide spectrum matches (methyl-PSMs) to be identified at acceptably low false discovery rates (FDRs). To meet estimated methyl-PSM FDRs, methyl-PSM filtering criteria are often determined using the target-decoy approach. The efficacy of this methyl-PSM filtering approach has, however, yet to be thoroughly evaluated. Here we conduct a systematic analysis of methyl-PSM FDRs across a range of sample preparation workflows (each differing in their exposure to the alcohols methanol and isopropanol) and mass spectrometric instrument platforms (each employing a different mode of MS/MS dissociation). Through 13CD3-methionine labeling (heavy-methyl SILAC) of S. cerevisiae cells and in-depth manual data inspection, accurate lists of true positive methyl-PSMs were determined, allowing methyl-PSM FDRs to be compared to target-decoy approach-derived methyl-PSM FDR estimates. These results show that global FDR estimates produce extremely unreliable methyl-PSM filtering criteria; we demonstrate that this is an unavoidable consequence of the high number of amino acid combinations capable of producing peptide sequences that are isobaric to methylated peptides of a different sequence. Separate methyl-PSM FDR estimates were also found to be unreliable due to prevalent sources of false positive methyl-PSMs that produce high peptide identity score distributions. Incorrect methylation site localizations, peptides containing cysteinyl-S-β-propionamide, and methylated glutamic or aspartic acid residues can partially, but not wholly, account for these false positive methyl-PSMs. Together these results indicate that the target-decoy approach is an unreliable means of estimating methyl-PSM FDRs and methyl-PSM filtering criteria. We suggest that orthogonal methylpeptide validation (e.g. heavy-methyl SILAC or its offshoots) should be considered a prerequisite for obtaining high confidence methyl-PSMs in large-scale LC-MS/MS methylation site discovery experiments, and make recommendations on how to reduce methyl-PSM FDRs in samples not amenable to heavy isotope labeling.
