Chemical proteomics reveals protein tyrosination extends beyond the alpha-tubulins in human cells.

ABSTRACT: Tubulin detyrosination-tyrosination cycle regulates the stability of microtubules. Thus far described on α-tubulins, the tyrosination level is maintained by a single tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL). However, the precise dynamics and tubulin isoforms which undergo (de)tyrosination in neurons are unknown. Here, we exploit the substrate promiscuity of the TTL to introduce an O-propargyl-L-tyrosine in cancer cell lines and neurons. Mass spectrometry-based chemical proteomics in neuroblastoma cells using the O-propargyl-L-tyrosine probe revealed previously discussed tyrosination of TUBA4A, MAPRE1, and other non-tubulin proteins. This finding was further corroborated in differentiating neurons. We present the method for tubulin tyrosination profiling in living cells. Our results show that detyrosination-tyrosination is not restricted to α-tubulins with coded C-terminal tyrosine and is thus involved in fine-tuning of the tubulin and non-tubulin proteins during neuronal differentiation.

Differential modifications of the C-terminal tails of alpha-tubulin isoforms and their importance for kinesin-based microtubule transport in vivo

Project description:Microtubules (MTs) are built from alpha/beta-tubulin dimers and used as tracks by kinesin and dynein motors to transport a variety of cargos, such as mRNAs, proteins, and organelles, within the cell. Tubulins are subjected to several post-translational modifications (PTMs). Glutamylation is one of them, and it is responsible for adding one or more glutamic acid residues as branched peptide chains to the C-terminal tails of both alpha- and beta-tubulin. However, very little is known about the specific modifications found on the different tubulin isoforms in vivo and the role of these PTMs in cargo transport along MTs in vivo. In this study, we found that in Drosophila, glutamylation of the alpha-tubulin isoforms occurs specifically on the C-terminal ends of TBA1 and TBA3 in the ovaries. In contrast, the ovarian isoform TBA4 is not glutamylated. The C-terminal ends of TBA1 and TBA3 are glutamylated at several glutamyl side chains in various combinations. Drosophila TTLL5 is required for the mono- and polyglutamylation of ovarian TBA1 and 3. Furthermore, glutamylation of the alpha-tubulin is essential for the efficient localization of Staufen/osk mRNA and to give directionality to the fast ooplasmic streaming, two processes known to depend on kinesin mediated processes during oogenesis. In the nervous system, the kinesin-dependent neuronal transport of mitochondria also depends on TTLL5. Additionally, alpha-tubulin glutamylation affects the pausing of the transport of individual mitochondria in the axons. Our results demonstrate the in vivo role of TTLL5 in differential glutamylation of alpha-tubulin isoforms and point to the in vivo importance of alpha-tubulin glutamylation for kinesin-dependent processes.

Screening in Human Cardiac Organoids Identifies a Critical Role for the Mevalonate Pathway in Cardiomyocyte Proliferation

Project description:Re-induction of endogenous proliferation is a promising regeneration strategy for post-mitotic organs. For heart regeneration, we recently discovered that dual inhibition of both GSK3 and MST1 is required for proliferation in mature human cardiac organoids1. However, the mechanisms of action are not yet understood. Here, we de-convolute the mitogenic response using proteomics and report that GSK3 inhibition activates a cell cycle network whereas MST1 inhibition drives the mevalonate pathway. Screening of an additional 105 compounds identified a p38 inhibitor, which activated a cell cycle network, as well as an inhibitor of TGFBR, which activated the mevalonate pathway; combinatorial treatment with these two inhibitors also resulted in synergistic cell cycle activation. The mevalonate pathway which was consistently activated under the most robust proliferative conditions, is down-regulated during in vivo maturation when cardiomyocyte regenerative capacity ceases and inhibition of the mevalonate pathway abolished the myocyte proliferative response to mitogens. Taken together, our findings suggest that the mevalonate pathway synergises with mitogenic agents to enable mature cardiomyocytes to re-enter the cell cycle. These findings have important ramifications for development of cardiac regenerative therapeutics.

Enzymatic or in vivo installation of propargyl groups in combination with click chemistry enables enrichment and detection of methyltransferase target sites in RNA

Project description:m6A is the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA. It is introduced by METTL3-METTL14 and tunes mRNA metabolism, impacting cell differentiation and development. Precise transcriptome-wide assignment of m6A sites is of utmost importance. However, m6A does not interfere with Watson-Crick base pairing making polymerase-based detection challenging. We developed a chemical biology approach for the precise mapping of methyltransferase (MTase) target sites based on the introduction of a bioorthogonal propargyl group in vitro and in cells. We show that propargyl can be introduced enzymatically by wild-type METTL3-METTL14. Reverse transcription terminated up to 65 % at m6A sites after bioconjugation and purification, hence enabling detection of METTL3-METTL14 target sites by next generation sequencing. Importantly, we implemented metabolic propargyl labeling of RNA MTase target sites in vivo based on propargyl-L-selenohomocysteine and validated different types of known rRNA methylation sites.

Cu-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne-Thiol Reaction Forms Ubiquitous Background in Chemical Proteomics Studies

Project description:We report here a Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne-thiol reaction forming thiotriazoles as the major by-product under widely used bioorthogonal protein labelling “click” conditions. The development of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) had tremendous impact on many biological discoveries. However, the considered chemoselectivity of CuAAC is hampered by high reactivity of cysteine free thiols yielding thiotriazole protein conjugates. The reaction by-products generate false positive protein hits in “functional” proteomic studies. The reported detail investigation of conjugates between chemical probes containing terminal alkynes, azide-tags and cell lysates reveals formation of thiotriazoles, which can be readily detected by in-gel fluorescence scanning or after peptide and protein enrichment by MS-based proteomics. The produced fluorescent bands or enriched proteins may not result from the important enzymatically driven reaction and can be falsely assigned as hits. This study provides a complete list of the most common background proteins. The knowledge of this previously overlooked reactivity now leads to improved experimental design. Here, we present modified CuAAC conditions, which avoids the undesired product formation and diminishes the background.

Transforming chemical proteomics into high-throughput method using SP2E workflow.

Project description:Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in regulation of protein catalytic activity, localization and protein-protein interactions. An attachment of PTMs onto proteins significantly diversify their structure and function resulting in so called proteoforms. However, the sole identification of post-translationally modified proteins, which are often cell type and disease specific, is still a highly challenging task. Sub-stoichiometric amounts and modification of low abundant proteins necessitate purification or enrichment of the modified proteins. Introduction of the mass spectrometry-based chemical proteomic strategy has enabled to screen protein PTMs with increased throughput, but the sample preparation has remained highly time consuming and tedious. Here, we report an optimized workflow for enrichment of PTM proteins in 96-well plate format which could be extended to robotic automation. This platform allows to significantly lower the input of total protein, which opens up the possibility to screen specialized and difficult to culture cell lines in high-throughput manner. The presented SP2E protocol is robust, time- and cost-effective as well as suitable for large-scale screening of proteoforms. Application of the SP2E protocol will thus enable the characterization of proteoforms in various processes such as neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration and cancer. This may contribute to an overall acceleration of the recently launched Human Proteoform Project.

Solid Phase Synthesis of Fluorosulfate Containing Macrocycles for Chemoproteomic Workflows

Project description:Macrocyclic peptides are attractive for chemoproteomic applications due to their modular synthesis and potential for high target selectivity. We describe a solid phase synthesis method for the efficient generation of libraries of small macrocycles that contain an electrophile and alkyne handle. The modular synthesis produces libraries that can be directly screened using simple SDS-PAGE readouts and then optimal lead molecules applied to proteomic analysis. We generated a library of 480 macrocyclic peptides containing the weakly reactive fluorosulfate (OSF) electrophile. Initial screening of a subset of the library containing each of the various diversity elements identified initial molecules of interest. The corresponding positional and confirmational isomers were then screened to select molecules that showed specific protein labeling patterns that were dependent on the probe structure. The most promising hits were applied to standard chemoproteomic workflows to identify protein targets. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of rapid, on-resin synthesis of diverse macrocyclic electrophiles to generate new classes of covalent ligands.

Acyldepsipeptide probes facilitate specific detection of caseinolytic protease P independent of its oligomeric and activity state

Project description:Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a tetradecameric peptidase which assembles with chaperones such as ClpX to gain proteolytic activity. Acyldepsipeptides (ADEPs) represent small molecule mimics of ClpX, which bind into hydrophobic pockets on the apical site of the complex and thereby induce activation of ClpP. Detection of ClpP has so far been facilitated with active site directed probes which depend on the activity and oligomeric state of the complex. In order to expand the scope of ClpP labeling, we here introduce a stepwise synthetic approach to customized ADEP photoprobes. Structure-activity relationship studies with small fragments and ADEP derivatives paired with modeling studies revealed design principles of suitable probe molecules. The derivatives were tested for activation of ClpP and subsequently applied in labeling studies of the wild type peptidase as well as enzymes bearing mutations at the active site and an oligomerization sensor. Satisfyingly, the ADEP photoprobes provided a labeling readout of ClpP independent of its activity and oligomeric state.

Disruption of Ttll5/Stamp gene (Tubulin tyrosine ligase-like protein 5/SRC-1 and TIF2 associated modulatory protein gene) in male mice causes sperm malformation and infertility

Project description:Tubulin tyrosine ligase-like family member 5 (TTLL5/STAMP) has multiple activities in cells. TTLL5 is one of 13 TTLLs, has polyglutamylation activity, augments the activity of p160 coactivators (SRC-1 and TIF2) in glucocorticoid receptor-regulated gene induction and repression, and displays steroid-independent growth activity with several cell types. To examine TTLL5/STAMP functions in whole animals, mice were prepared with an internal deletion that eliminated several activities of the Stamp gene. This mutation causes both reduced levels of STAMP mRNA and C-terminal truncation of STAMP protein. Homozygous targeted mutant (Stamptm/tm) mice appear normal except for marked decreases in male fertility associated with defects in progressive sperm motility. Abnormal axonemal structures with loss of tubulin doublets occur in most Stamptm/tm sperm tails in conjunction with substantial reduction in tubulin polyglutamylation, which closely correlates with the reduction in mutant STAMP mRNA. The axonemes in other structures appear unaffected. There is no obvious change in the organs for sperm development of wt vs. Stamptm/tm males despite the levels of wt STAMP mRNA in testes being 20-fold higher than in any other organ examined. This defect in male fertility is unrelated to other Ttll genes or 24 genes previously identified as important for sperm function. Thus, STAMP appears to participate in a unique, tissue-selective TTLL-mediated pathway for tubulin polyglutamylation that is required for sperm maturation and motility and may be relevant for male fertility.

Alterations of redox and iron metabolism accompany development of HIV latency

Project description:Metabolic alterations, such as oxidative stress, are hallmarks of HIV-1 infection. However, their influenceon the development of viral latency, and thus on HIV-1 persistence during antiretroviral therapy (ART),have just begun to be explored. We analyzed omics profiles ofin-vitroandin-vivomodels of infection byHIV-1 and its simian homolog SIVmac. We found that cells survive retroviral replication by upregulatingantioxidant pathways and intertwined iron import pathways. These changes are associated withremodeling of the redox sensitive promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear bodies (PML NBs), an importantconstituent of nuclear architecture and a marker of HIV-1 latency. We found that PML is depleted inproductively infected cells and restored by ART. Moreover, we identified intracellular iron as a key linkbetween oxidative stress and PML depletion, thus supporting iron metabolism modulators aspharmacological tools to impair latency establishment.

FICD activity and AMPylation remodelling modulate human neurogenesis

Project description:The AMPylation is novel protein post-translation modification. In consist of attachment of the adenosine monophosphate onto the serine, threonine or tyrosine amino acid residues of the protein. This process is catalysed by bacterial effectors or in human by protein FICD (also called HYPE) which contain conserved fic domain. In our study we have focused on identification of the unknown AMPylated proteins and their function in human cells (HeLa, A549, SH-SY5Y, iPSCs, NPCs and neurons) and cerebral organoids (COs). For this purpose we designed and synthesized the small molecule N6-propargyl phosphoramidate adenosine (pro-N6pA) which was used for in situ labelling of the AMPylation in cells and COs. Subsequnetly the the propargyl tag was employed for preparation of chemical-proteomic samples which were measured by LC-MS/MS. This approach confirmed the known AMPylation of heat shock protein HSPA5 and found diverse group of novel AMPylation targets. Several cathepsins found as AMPylation targets were further characterized by identification of AMP binding site. Based on our chemical proteomic data we found out that neurons and neuronal like cells contain distinct AMPylatino pattern from other studied cell types. This also suggested the importance of the AMPylation in these cell types which were then studied in cerebral organoids by overexpressing the FICD wt and E234G highly active mutant. This led to the accelerated differentiation of progenitors into the neurons. Overall our approach is suitable for identification of the AMPylated proteins in living cells and led to characterization of FICD function.
