Project description:The essential myosin light chain (ELC) is part of the cardiac myosin motor regulating the contractility of the heart. Recently, we have demonstrated ELC phosphorylation to be responsible not only for basal maintenance of cardiac contractility, but also for the adaptation of sarcomere function to increased demands in adult zebrafish (Scheid et al. Cardiovascular Research, 2016). However, the direct interacting kinases, phosphatases as well as the signaling pathway mediating the ELC phosphorylation are mostly unknown. Here, we aim to identify ELC interacting proteins in zebrafish heart tissue using an ELC-specific precipitation assay followed by mass spectrometry. In brief, ELC specific co-immunoprecipitation was performed by using the Dynabeads Co-immunoprecipitation Kit (Invitrogen, #14321D). Custom-specific polyclonal ELC antibodies (Eurogentec, peptide for immunization: NH2-CAPVPETPKEPEVDLK-CONH2) against zebrafish ELC were covalently coupled to DynabeadsTM M-270 Epoxy (Invitrogen, #14302D) and whole zebrafish heart protein was used as input. All steps were carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:The myosin light chain protein family consists of two classes, the regulatory myosin light chains (RLC) and the essential myosin light chains (ELC). Functionally, the MLC proteins are directly involved in sarcomeric activity and force transmission contributing to cardiac contractility. Besides regulating contractility by protein-protein interactions alone, MLCs modulate force transmission through posttranslational phosphorylation. The MLC phosphorylation status in human cardiac disease is under investigation. In contrast to RLC, the phosphorylation pattern of ELC in human heart disease is not well understood. Here, 2-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis followed by ELC specific immunoblot (IB) was performed to detect the ELC phosphorylation pattern of human left ventricular tissue. Cardiac proteins were separated by isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight (MW) (vELC: MW 21,932 kDa, pI 5.03; vRLC: MW 19 kDa, pI 4.89). Next, we performed mass-spectrometry analysis after cutting the spot-regions in question from silver-stained 2D gels of proteins from the human tissue. The aim was 1) to validate the detection of the MLC migration pattern seen in 2D IB by mass spectrometry, 2) to distinguish between atrial and ventricular MLC isoforms as these two forms might converge on 2D gel (vELC: MW 21.932 kDa, pI 5.03; aELC: 21.550 kDa, pI 4.98) and 3) to detect phosphorylated amio acid residues of ELC and RLC in human ventricular tissue.

Project description:Kinetoplastids rely heavily on post-transcriptional mechanisms for control of gene expression, and on RNA-binding proteins that regulate mRNA splicing, translation and decay. Trypanosoma brucei ERBP1 (Tb927.10.14150) and ERBP2 (Tb927.9.9550) were previously identified as mRNA binding proteins that lack canonical RNA-binding domains. We here show that ERBP1 is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, like ERBP2, and that the two proteins interact in vivo. Loss of ERBP1 from bloodstream-form T. brucei initially resulted in a growth defect but proliferation was restored after more prolonged cultivation. Results from a pull-down of tagged ERBP1 suggest that it preferentially binds to ribosomal protein mRNAs. The ERBP1 sequence resembles that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Bfr1, which also localises to the endoplasmic reticulum and binds to ribosomal protein mRNAs. However, unlike Bfr1, ERBP1 does not bind to mRNAs encoding secreted proteins, and it is also not recruited to stress granules after starvation.

Project description:We previously reported a pathogenic de novo W342 mutation in the transcriptional corepressor CtBP1 in four independent patients with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Here, we report the clinical phenotypes of seven additional individuals with the same recurrent de novo CtBP1 mutation. Within this cohort we identified consistent CtBP1-related phenotypes of intellectual disability, ataxia, hypotonia and tooth enamel defects present in all patients. The W342 mutation in CtBP1 is located within a region implicated in a high affinity-binding cleft for CtBP-interacting proteins. Unbiased proteomic analysis demonstrated reduced interaction of several chromatin modifying factors with the CtBP1 W342 mutant. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis in human glioblastoma cells lines expressing -CtBP1 R342 (wt) or W342 mutation revealed changes in the expression profiles of genes controlling multiple cellular processes. Patient-derived dermal fibroblasts were found to be more sensitive to apoptosis during acute glucose deprivation compared to controls. Glucose deprivation strongly activated the BH3-only pro-apoptotic gene NOXA, suggesting a link between enhanced cell death and NOXA expression in patient fibroblasts. Our results suggest that context-dependent relief of transcriptional repression of the CtBP1 mutant W342 allele may contribute to deregulation of apoptosis in target tissues of patients leading to neurodevelopmental phenotypes.

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze the ligation of each amino acid to the 3’ hydroxyl group of the cognate tRNA and thereby establish the genetic code for protein synthesis. AaRSs form a complicated network through assembly into a multi-synthetase complex (MSC), which is comprised of nine aaRSs (ArgRS, AspRS, GlnRS, GluProRS, IleRS, LeuRS, LysRS, and MetRS) and three auxiliary proteins (aaRS-interacting multifunctional proteins, p43, p38, and p18 or AIMP1, 2, and 3) in vertebrates. IleRS is one of the least characterized aaRSs in the MSC. It is a class 1a aaRS and has an UNE-I domain at its C-terminal end that is formed by tandem ~90 residue repeats. Systematic depletion and yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) analyses suggest that IleRS binds to the WHEP domain of GluProRS through its UNE-I domain. However, crosslinking and mass spectrometry (XL-MS) analyses revealed that IleRS interacts with ArgRS, LeuRS, and MetRS in the MSC. While such difference may be due to the different dynamic states of the MSC under various cellular environments, it remains to be resolved how IleRS associates with other components of the MSC. Therefore, we performed mass spectrometry analysis to study IleRS interactome using cells expressing wild-type IleRS, C-terminal-deleted IleRS, and the IleRS UNE-I domain alone.

Project description:Reticuloendothelial macrophages engulf ~0.2 trillion senescent erythrocytes daily in a process called erythrophagocytosis (EP). This critical mechanism preserves systemic heme-iron homeostasis by regulating red blood cell (RBC) catabolism and iron recycling. Although extensive work has demonstrated the various effects on macrophage metabolic reprogramming by stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines, little is known about the impact of EP on the macrophage metabolome and proteome. Thus, we performed mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and proteomics analyses of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) before and after EP of IgG-coated RBCs. Further, metabolomics was performed on BMDMs incubated with free IgG to ensure that changes to macrophage metabolism were due to opsonized RBCs and not to free IgG binding. Uniformly labeled tracing experiments were conducted on BMDMs in the presence and absence of IgG-coated RBCs to assess the flux of glucose through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). In this study, we demonstrate that EP significantly alters amino acid and fatty acid metabolism, the Krebs cycle, OXPHOS, and arachidonate-linoleate metabolism. Increases in levels of amino acids, lipids and oxylipins, heme products, and RBC-derived proteins are noted in BMDMs following EP. Tracing experiments with U-13C6 glucose indicated a slower flux through glycolysis and enhanced PPP activation. Notably, we show that it is fueled by glucose derived from the macrophages themselves or from the extracellular media prior to EP, but not from opsonized RBCs. The PPP-derived NADPH can then fuel the oxidative burst, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species necessary to promote digestion of phagocytosed RBC proteins via radical attack. Results were confirmed by redox proteomics experiments, demonstrating the oxidation of Cys152 and Cys94 of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and hemoglobin-β, respectively. Significant increases in early Krebs cycle and C5-branched dibasic acid metabolites (α-ketoglutarate and 2-hydroxyglutarate, respectively) indicate that EP promotes the dysregulation of mitochondrial metabolism. Lastly, EP stimulated aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthase and arginase activity as indicated by significant accumulations of ALA and ornithine after IgG-mediated RBC ingestion. Importantly, EP-mediated metabolic reprogramming of BMDMs does not occur following exposure to IgG alone. In conclusion, we show that EP reprograms macrophage metabolism and modifies macrophage polarization.

Project description:Mammalian fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a lipogenic enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the long chain saturated fatty acid palmitate from acetyl and malonyl CoA in the presence of NADPH. Mammalian cells acquire fatty acids through dietary sources or through FASN. Although most mammalian cells express FASN at low levels, it is upregulated in cancers and during replication of many viruses. The precise role of FASN in disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, and whether de novo fatty acid synthesis contributes to host or viral protein acylation has been traditionally difficult to study. We describe a cell permeable, click-chemistry compatible alkynyl-acetate analog (5-Hexynoic acid, or "Alk-4") that functions as a reporter of FASN-dependent protein acylation. Alk-4 metabolic labeling enabled biotin-based purification and identification of more than 200 FASN-dependent acylated cellular proteins. Alk-4 also labeled the palmitoylated host protein IFITM3 (Interferon inducible transmembrane protein-3), a restriction factor for Influenza, and the myristoylated HIV-1 MA (Matrix) protein. Thus, Alk-4 is a useful bioorthogonal tool to selectively probe FASN-mediated protein acylation in normal and diseased states.

Project description:The proteomic approach aimed at the identification of interaction partners for the human dual phosphatase and tumor suppressor CDC14B by Co-inmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments. In this approach, CDC14B interactomes from unsynchronized and G2/M enriched cells were compared semi-quantitatively based on spectral counting. This approach yielded the deubiquitylase USP9X as a G2/M-specific CDC14B interactor which has been confirmed by Western-blot (WB).
