Project description:Enhanced ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2) can be used as a genetic tag that produces short-lived yet highly reactive biotin species, allowing the modification of proteins that interact with or are in very close proximity to the tagged protein, ideally within a confined compartment. Biotinylated proteins can be isolated using immobilized streptavidin and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Here we used rapamycin-dependent targeting of APEX2 to tail-anchored proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum and of the inner nuclear membrane (INM). In combination with stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), our novel approach (rapamycin- and APEX-dependent identification of proteins by SILAC, or RAPIDS) allowed the identification of proteins that are in close proximity to the prototypic INM-protein emerin and the vesicle-trafficking protein VAPB. In addition to well-known interaction partners, several new potential binding partners were identified. In RAPIDS, the comparison of plus/minus-rapamycin conditions allows a clear distinction between specific and non-specific hits.

Project description:VAPB (Vesicle-Associated-membrane Protein-associated proteins B) is a tail-anchored mem-brane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that can also be detected at the inner nuclear mem-brane. As a component of many contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum and other or-ganelles, VAPB is engaged in multiple protein interactions with a plethora of binding partners. A mutant version of VAPB, P56S-VAPB, that results from a single point mutation is involved in a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS8). We performed RAPIDS (rapamycin- and APEX-dependent identification of proteins by SILAC) to identify proteins that interact with or are in close proximity to P56S-VAPB. The mutation abrogates the interaction of VAPB with many known binding partners. Instead, Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) was identified as a major in-teraction/proximity partner, a protein that is known as an autophagic adapter. Remarkably, not only the mutant P56S-VAPB, but also the wild type protein interacts with SQSTM1, as shown by proximity ligation assays and co-immunoprecipiation experiments.

Project description:Sigma factors are key components of the bacterial transcriptional apparatus that are essential for promoter recognition and transcription initiation. These factors are considered as positive regulators of gene expression. Here, we reveal the opposite, inhibitory role of these proteins. We used a combination of ChIP-seq, transcriptomic time series data, promoter sequence analysis, and computational modeling of gene expression to analyze the regulatory activity of the extracytoplasmic σE factor from Streptomyces coelicolor. Kinetic modeling of gene expression then allowed to cluster respective genes into groups, based on the type of their control. Importantly, this analysis indicated that σE might act not only as an activator of gene expression but also as its repressor. The direct repressor function of σE was then demonstrated by experimental analysis of selected promoter regions in vivo, showing that σE binds to promoter-like sequences, forming roadblocks for transcription initiated upstream. Finally, the σE interactome was defined, allowing the identification of ApgA as its potential anti- factor. Taken together, the results characterize σE, its regulation, regulon, and reveal its direct inhibitory function in gene expression, a so far unknown phenomenon that may be common also to other factors and organisms.

Project description:Caveolin3 variants were associated with action potential prolongation. As Caveolin1 was recently identified in cardiomyocytes, we hypothesize that conserved isoform-specific protein interactions underlie human loss-of-function variants. To analyze the Caveolin1 and Caveolin3 interactome, we developed unbiased live-cell proteomic and isoform-specific mass spectrometry techniques. We demonstrate the functional relevance and pathogenic mechanism of a novel Caveolin3 interactor in gene-edited human iPSC-cardiomyocyte models.

Project description:Neuroinflammation is a crucial process for the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), a major characteristic of glaucoma. High expression of high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) plays a detrimental role in inflammatory processes and is elevated in the retinas of glaucoma patients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of intravitreal injection of an anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody (anti-HMGB1 Ab) in an experimental animal model of glaucoma. Two groups of Spraque Dawley rats received episcleral vein occlusion to chronically elevate intraocular pressure (IOP): (1) IgG group, intravitreal injection of an unspecific IgG as a control, n=5, (2) HMGB1 group, intravitreal injection of an anti-HMGB1 Ab, n=6. IOP, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and the retinal flash response was monitored longitudinally. Post-mortem examinations included immunohistochemistry, microarray, and mass spectrometric analysis. RNFLT was significantly increased in the HMGB1 group compared to the IgG group (p<0.001). RGC density showed improved neuronal cell survival in the retina in HMGB1 compared to the IgG group (p<0.01). Mass spectrometric proteomic analysis of retinal tissue showed increased abundance of RNA metabolism-associated heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs), such as hnRNP U, D, and H2, in animals injected with the anti-HMGB1 Ab, indicating that application of the antibody may cause increased gene expression. Microarray analysis showed significantly decreased expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8, p<0.05) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, p<0.01) in the HMGB1 group. Thus, these data suggest that intravitreal injection of anti-HMGB1 Ab reduced HMGB1-dependent inflammatory signaling and mediated RGC neuroprotection.

Project description:Brucella type strains (B. abortus 544 and B. melitensis 16 M), field-isolates (B. abortus T and B. melitensis C) were independently cultivated six times on Tryptic Soy Broth at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2 until mid-logarithmic phase. The cells were harvested by brief centrifugation and the bacteria was inactivated using recommended ethanol precipitation procedure. Following which the cells were lysed, proteins quantified and the differentially expressed proteins among B. abortus and B. melitensis were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) based label free quantitative proteomics analysis.

Project description:Calpains are calcium (Ca2+) activated neutral proteases that are involved in several essential signaling pathways. One Calpain-specific proteolytic target is Junctophilin-2 (JP2), an important structural protein of Ca2+ release units required for the excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes. While downregulation of JP2 by Calpain cleavage in mouse models of heart failure has been reported previously, the precise molecular identity of the Calpain cleavage sites and the (patho-) physiological roles of the JP2 proteolytic products remain controversial. We systematically analyzed the JP2 cleavage fragments as function of Calpain-1 versus Calpain-2 proteolytic activities, revealing that both Calpain isoforms preferentially cleave mouse JP2 at R565 but subsequently also at three additional secondary Calpain cleavage sites. We identified the Calpain-specific primary cleavage products not only in mouse but also in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Knockout of RyR2 in hiPSC-CMs destabilized JP2 resulting in an increase of the Calpain-specifc cleavage fragments. The primary N-terminal cleavage product (NT1) accumulated in the nucleus of mouse and human cardiomyocytes in a Ca2+ dependent manner, closely associated with DNA-rich chromosomal regions, where NT1 is proposed to function as a cardioprotective transcriptional regulator in heart failure. Taken together, our data suggest that stabilizing NT1 by preventing secondary cleavage events by Calpain and other proteases could be an important therapeutic target for future studies.
