Nonionic surfactants can modify the thermal stability of globular and membrane proteins interfering with the thermal proteome profiling principles to identify protein targets

ABSTRACT: The membrane proteins are essential targets to understand cellular function. The unbiased identification of membrane protein targets is still the bottleneck for a system- level understanding of cellular response to stimuli or perturbations. It has been suggested to enrich the soluble proteome with membrane proteins by introducing nonionic surfactants in the solubilization solution. This strategy was aiming to simultaneous identify the globular and membrane protein targets by thermal proteome profiling principles. However, the thermal shift assay would surpass the cloud point temperature from the nonionic surfactants most frequently utilized for membrane protein solubilization. It is expected that around the cloud point temperature, the surfactant micelles would suffer structural modifications altering the proteome solubility. Here, we show that the presence of nonionic surfactants can alter protein thermal stability from a mixed globular, and membrane proteome. In the presence of surfactant micelles, the changes in protein solubility analyzed after the thermal shift assay are affected by the thermal dependent modification of the micelles size, and their interaction with proteins. We demonstrate that the introduction of nonionic surfactants for the solubilization of membrane proteins is not compatible with the principles of target identification by thermal proteome profiling methodologies. Our results lead to explore thermal-independent strategies for membrane protein solubilization to assure confident membrane protein target identification. The proteome-wide thermal shift methods have already shown their capability to elucidate mechanism of actions from pharma, biomedicine, analytical chemistry, or toxicology and finding strategies, free from surfactants, to identify membrane protein targets would be the next challenge.

Project description:Fever implies a significant increase in corporal temperature that aids toward the resolution of infective processes such as viral disease. The majority of vertebrate species are not homeothermic therefore must rely upon the environment for temperature regulation. Here we show that in the zebrafish an artificial viral infection, induced by poly (I:C), induces a fever response regulated by the behavioral choice of temperature. We recorded 12 h of the diurnal cycle in zebrafish previously treated (first 12 hours dark cycle) with the pyrogen, poly (I:C) [10 μg⋅kg-1]. Fish, n=10, were held in a thermal gradient (36-180C) separated into 7 interconnected chambers. Presence or absence of individuals in each chamber was recorded each 15 minutes throughout the 12 hour period. After the experimental period we dissected whole brains for microarray analysis. In monitored zebrafish intraperitoneal treatment with poly (I:C) induced a febrile behaviour with significantly elevated temperature preference (T of about 32ºC) in stark contrast with the observed frequency for saline-injected fish (28ºC). Microarray analyses uncovered significant shifts in transcriptional activity that were highly directed in the poly (I:C)-treated fish housed in the thermal gradient. When compared to gene expression profiles from poly (I:C)-treated fish deprived of a thermal gradient we observed a less intense specific to the poly (I:C) challenge and interestingly observed a scattered generalised stress response. Our results highlight the influence of temperature preference in the development of the immune response in zebrafish. Fever induced gene expression in zebrafish brain was measured at 24 after intra peritoneal injection with 1mg*Kg-1 of Poly (I:C) in zebrafish. Four independent experiments were performed to explore the transcriptomic profile induced by animals injected by Poly (I:C) with/whithout thermal gradient, saline solution (PBS), or control using different animals for each experiment.
