Serum proteomics of coronavirus shedding in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus)

ABSTRACT: Bats can harbor many pathogens without showing disease. However, the mechanisms by which bats resolve these infections or limit pathology remain unclear. To illuminate the bat immune response to coronaviruses, viruses with high public health significance, we will use serum proteomics to assess broad differences in immune proteins of uninfected and infected vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus). In contrast to global profiling techniques of blood such as transcriptomics, proteomics provides a unique perspective into immunology, as the serum proteome includes proteins from not only blood but also those secreted from proximal tissues. Here, we expand our recent work on the serum proteome of wild vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) to better understand CoV pathogenesis. Across 19 bats sampled in 2019 in northern Belize with available sera, we detected CoVs in oral or rectal swabs from four individuals. We used data independent acquisition-based mass spectrometry to profile and compare the undepleted serum proteome of these 19 bats. These results will provide much needed insight into changes in the bat serum proteome in response to coronavirus infection.

Surveying the vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) serum proteome: a resource for identifying immunological proteins and detecting pathogens

Project description:Bats are increasingly studied as model systems for longevity and as natural hosts to some virulent viruses. Yet our ability to characterize immune mechanisms of viral tolerance and to quantify infection dynamics in wild bats is often limited by small sample volumes and few species-specific reagents. To address this, we demonstrate how proteomics can overcome these limitations by using data-independent acquisition-based shotgun proteomics (i.e., bottom-up proteomics) to survey the serum proteome of 17 vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) from Belize. We focused this work on vampire bats, a species that has an obligate diet of blood and feeds on prey as diverse as sea lions, tapirs, livestock, and even humans, providing numerous opportunities for transmission of viruses (e.g., rabies virus, adenovirus, herpesvirus) to and from these recipient hosts. Using just 2 μL of sample and relatively short separations of undepleted serum digests, we identified 361 proteins across five orders of magnitude. We also used known bat virus proteomes to identify Rh186 from Macacine herpesvirus 3 and ORF1a from Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, indicating that mass spectrometry-based techniques show promise for pathogen detection. Our results demonstrate the feasibility and capabilities of serum proteomic analyses in wild bats, including possibilities to simultaneously detect host immunological components and viral infection as well as to establish preliminary ranges of vampire bat proteins for comparison with other mammalian blood proteomes. Overall, these results can be used to design targeted mass-spectrometry assays to quantify immunological markers and detect pathogens. More broadly, our findings also highlight the application of proteomics in advancing wildlife immunology and pathogen surveillance.

Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify candidate blood-based markers of cardiomyopathy in the southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis)

Project description:Cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disease and diagnosis relies on radiography and echocardiography, while blood-based markers are lacking. Development of a non-invasive test would be useful when imaging is not possible (e.g., prenatal diagnosis). In southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis), cardiomyopathy is a prevalent cause of mortality and antemortem diagnosis is challenging. Sea otters requiring clinical care are at significant anesthetic risk if cardiomyopathy is present. A blood-based assay would improve triage decisions, case management, and treatment protocols to safeguard against co-morbidities. With support from the Oiled Wildlife Care Network, we analyzed undepleted sea otter serum using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Though the larger sample set included 63 sera (that included a validation set of 22 sera with class labels blinded to the data collector), we a priori compared only samples from wild otters. Additionally, we generated proteomic data for four heat tissues with paired sera. These results demonstrate the utility of proteomic analysis, offer a glimpse into the sea otter proteome, and serve as a reference data set for relative protein abundance in sera and cardiac tissue.

Maintenance of Neural Activities in Torpid Rhinolophus ferrumequinum Bats Revealed by 2D Gel-based Proteome Analysis

Project description:Bats are the only mammals capable of self-powered flying. Many bat species hibernate in winter. A reversible control of cerebral activities is critical for bats to accommodate a repeated torpor-arousal cycle during hibernation. Little is known about the molecular mechanism that regulates neuronal activities in torpid bats. In this study, brain proteins were fractionated and compared between torpid and active Rhinolophus ferrumequinum bats.

Rationally designed chromosome fusion is not a limiting factor for rapid growth of Vibrio natriegens

Project description:DNA replication prior to cell division is essential for the proliferation of all cells. Bacterial chromosomes are replicated bidirectionally from a single origin of replication, with replication proceeding at about 1000 bp per second. For the best-studied model organism, Escherichia coli, this translates into a replication time of about 40 min for its 4.6 Mb chromosome. Nevertheless, E. coli can propagate by overlapping replication cycles with a maximum short doubling time of 20 min. The fastest growing bacterium known today, Vibrio natriegens, is able to replicate with a generation time of less than 10 min. It has a bipartite genome with chromosome sizes of 3.2 and 1.9 Mb. Is simultaneous replication from two origins a prerequisite for its rapid growth? We fused the two chromosomes of V. natriegens to create a strain carrying a 5.2 Mb chromosome with a single origin of replication. Compared to the wild-type, this strain showed little deviation in growth rate. This suggests that the split genome is not a prerequisite for rapid growth, and that DNA replication is not an important growth rate-limiting factor.

Activation of Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB signal transduction pathways in the liver as a mechanism of survival for torpid Myotis ricketti Bats

Project description:Unfolded protein accumulation in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) induced by cold exposure is termed UPRER. Some mammals hibernate to overcome cold winter. We investigated whether hibernating bats are under UPRER and activate Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB signaling pathways that are critical for cell survival against cold. Results of Western blotting showed that several UPRER marker proteins such as PERK and ATF4 had a higher abundance in torpid than in active bats. Cellular redistribution of GRP78 and a lower degree of binding between PERK and GRP78 were also seen in torpid bats, suggesting the occurrence of UPRER. Results also showed that torpid bats had a higher amount of p-Akt (Ser473), a higher ratio of p-Akt (Ser473)/Akt, a lower amount of Keap1/Nrf2 and NF-κB (p65)/I-κBα complexes, and a higher degree of NF-κB (p65) nuclear translocation than active bats, indicating simultaneous activation of Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB during hibernation. Evidence of such activation was not observed in fasted, cold-treated, or normal mice. Using PPI network and IPA analyses, we examined the proteomes of liver and liver mitochondria of bats and found a global metabolic adjustment and survival adaptation in response to UPRER in hibernating bats. Our data provide the first molecular evidence of a complex cross talk involving Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB via the PERK-EIF2-ATF4 regulatory axis under UPRER in bats to ensure their survival during hibernation.

Arabidopsis thaliana peptide SP2 and ethyl acetate extraction clean up.

Project description:The success of bottom-up proteomic analysis frequently depends on the efficient removal of contaminants from protein or peptide samples before LC-MS/MS. For a peptide clean-up workflow, the single-pot solid-phase-enhanced peptide sample preparation on carboxylate-modified paramagnetic beads (termed SP2) was evaluated for sodium dodecyl sulfate or polyethylene glycol removal from Arabidopsis thaliana tryptic peptides. The robust and efficient 40-min SP2 protocol, tested for a 10 ng, 250ng and 10µg peptide sample, was proposed and benchmarked thoroughly against the ethyl acetate extraction protocol. The SP2 protocol on carboxylated magnetic beads proved to be the robust approach even for simultaneous removal of massive sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) contaminations from AT peptide samples in respect of the LC-MS/MS data outperforming ethyl acetate extraction.
