Project description:Many proteins require molecular chaperones to fold into their functional native forms. Previously we used limited proteolysis mass-spectrometry (LiP-MS) to find that ca. 40% of the E. coli proteome do not efficiently refold spontaneously following dilution from denaturation, a frequency that drops to ca. 15% once molecular chaperones like DnaK or GroEL are provided. However, the roles of chaperones during primary biogenesis in vivo can differ from the functions they play during in vitro refolding experiments. Here, we used LiP-MS to probe structural changes incurred by the E. coli proteome when two key chaperones, trigger factor and DnaKJ, are deleted. While knocking out DnaKJ induces pervasive structural perturbations across the soluble E. coli proteome, trigger factor deletion only impacts a small number of proteins’ structures. Overall, proteins which cannot spontaneously refold (or require chaperones to refold in vitro) are not more likely to be dependent on chaperones to fold in vivo. For instance, the glycolytic enzyme, phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), cannot refold to its native form in vitro following denaturation (even with chaperones), but by LiP-MS we find that its structure is unperturbed upon DnaKJ or Tig deletion, which we further demonstrate with biochemical and biophysical assays. Thus, PGK folds to its native structure most efficiently during co-translational folding and does so without chaperone assistance. This behaviour is generally found among chaperone-nonrefolders (proteins that cannot refold even with chaperone assistance), strengthening the view that this class of proteins are obligate co-translational folders. Hence, for some E. coli proteins, the vectorial nature of co-translational folding is the most important “chaperone.”

Project description:Here, we present FLiPPR, or FragPipe LiP (limited proteolysis) Processor, a tool that facilitates the analysis of data from limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) experiments following primary search and quantification in FragPipe. LiP-MS has emerged as a method that can provide proteome-wide information on protein structure and has been applied to a range of biological and biophysical questions. Although LiPMS can be carried out with standard laboratory reagents and mass spectrometers, analyzing the data can be slow and poses unique challenges compared to typical quantitative proteomics workflows. To address this, we leverage the fast, sensitive, and accurate search and label-free quantification algorithms in FragPipe and then process its output in FLiPPR. FLiPPR formalizes a specific data imputation heuristic that carefully uses missing data in LiP-MS experiments to report on the most significant structural changes. Moreover, FLiPPR introduces a new data merging scheme (from ions to cut-sites) and a protein-centric multiple hypothesis correction scheme, collectively enabling processed LiP-MS datasets to be more robust and less redundant. These improvements substantially strengthen statistical trends when previously published data are reanalyzed with the FragPipe/FLiPPR workflow. As a final feature, FLiPPR facilitates the collection of structural metadata to identify correlations between experiments and structural features. We hope that FLiPPR will lower the barrier for more users to adopt LiP-MS, standardize statistical procedures for LiP-MS data analysis, and systematize output to facilitate eventual larger-scale integration of LiP-MS data.

Project description:Cover cropping is an effective method to protect agricultural soils from erosion, promote nutrient and moisture retention, encourage beneficial microbial activity, and maintain soil structure. Reusing winter cover crop root channels with the maize roots during the summer allows the cash crop to extract resources from farther niches in the soil horizon. In this study, we investigate how reusing winter cover crop root channels to grow maize (Zea mays L.) affects the composition and function of the bacterial communities in the rhizosphere using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and metaproteomics. We discovered that the bacterial community significantly differed among cover crop variations, soil profile depths, and maize growth stages. Re-usage of the root channels increased bacterial abundance, and it further increases as we elevate the complexity from monocultures to mixtures. Upon mixing legumes with brassicas and grasses, the overall expression of several steps of the carbon cycle (C) and the nitrogen cycle (N) improved. The deeper root channels of legumes and brassicas compared to grasses correlated with higher bacterial 16S rRNA gene copy numbers and community roles in the respective variations in the subsoil regimes due to the increased availability of root exudates secreted by maize roots. In conclusion, root channel re-use (monocultures and mixtures) improved the expression of metabolic pathways of the important C and N cycles, and the bacterial communities, which is beneficial to the soil rhizosphere as well as to the growing crops.

Project description:The development of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) remains the most serious complication in the treatment of hemophilia A. While immune tolerance induction (ITI) is the standard strategy to eliminate these antibodies, it fails in approximately 30% of patients with severe hemophilia A, underscoring the need for innovative approaches to promote FVIII-specific tolerance. To address this challenge, we generated fusion proteins composed of A2, A3-C1-C2 (light chain, LCh), and C2 domains of FVIII linked to Annexin A5 (AnxA5), a protein that binds phosphatidylserine (PS), a hallmark of apoptotic cells. ELISA confirmed high-affinity binding of all fusion proteins to immobilized PS. To model PS exposure in vitro, red blood cells (RBCs) were treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), leading to the release of PS-exposing microvesicles. Flow cytometry showed that FVIII-AnxA5 fusion proteins selectively bound to PS-exposing microvesicles but not to intact RBCs. Using mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics, we demonstrated that macrophages pulsed with FVIII-AnxA5 fusion proteins efficiently processed and presented FVIII-derived peptides on HLA-DR molecules. These findings suggest that FVIII-AnxA5 fusion proteins can engage apoptotic cell clearance pathways to facilitate antigen presentation in a potentially tolerogenic context. This strategy may offer a novel means of inducing immune tolerance to FVIII in hemophilia A.

Project description:Excessive degradation of the colonic mucin layer by Bacteroides within the human gut microbiota drives inflammatory bowel disease in mice. Bacterial carbohydrate sulfatases are key enzymes in gut colonization, as they are elevated in human inflammatory bowel disease and correlate with disease severity. Selective inhibitors of carbohydrate sulfatases could function as sulfatase-selective drugs, allowing precise control of sulfatase activity while preserving these otherwise beneficial bacteria. Arylsulfamates are covalent inhibitors that target a catalytic formylglycine residue of steroid sulfatases, which is also conserved in carbohydrate sulfatases. Here, using a library of aryl- and carbohydrate sulfamates, we find that they are ineffective against Bacteroides carbohydrate sulfatases yet can inhibit human gut microbiota species grown on sulfated glycans. Leveraging thermal proteome profiling, we identify a lipid kinase as the target responsible for these effects. This work highlights the imperative for developing specific inhibitors targeting carbohydrate sulfatases and unveils the adverse effect that arylsulfamates have on Bacteroides species of the human gut microbiota.

Project description:Aims Leveraging the tolerogenic nature of their natural clearance pathway, we aim to exploit red blood cells (RBCs) as an antigen delivery system to achieve persistent exposure to ADAMTS13-derived peptides, promoting antigen-specific attenuation of autoreactive CD4+ T cells and induction of regulatory T cells. Background Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and potentially fatal autoimmune disease caused by a severe ADAMTS13 functional deficiency mediated by autoantibodies targeting ADAMTS13. Despite high survival rates achieved with current treatments, approximately 40% of patients experience relapses. Ensuring longer-lasting recovery by restoring immune tolerance towards ADAMTS13 remains a significant unmet need. Conclusion(s) Our strategy offers a modular and effective method for targeting antigenic peptides to RBCs for transfusion. Antigen-decorated RBCs are efficiently phagocytosed by macrophages and facilitate the presentation of FINVAPHAR on MHC II molecules, giving macrophages the ability to target ADAMTS13-specific T cells. Based on our results we propose that RBCs loaded with ADAMTS13-derived peptides containing immunodominant T cell epitopes represent a promising strategy for promoting tolerance in patients with iTTP. Methods A fusion peptide comprising the TAT cell-penetrating peptide and an immunodominant ADAMTS13-derived T cell epitope (FINVAPHAR core sequence) was designed. Binding of the fusion peptide to RBCs was monitored by flow cytometry and Imagestream. To examine whether this approach can facilitate antigen-presentation on MHC II molecules, peptide-loaded RBCs were fed to macrophages, followed by isolation of HLA-DR-peptide complexes to study the presented peptide repertoire via mass spectrometry. Results We found that the fusion peptide binds to RBCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Peptide-bound RBCs were efficiently phagocytosed by macrophages. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that phagocytosis of peptide-loaded RBCs by macrophages results in the presentation of FINVAPHAR-containing sequences of varying lengths on MHCII molecules from HLA-DRB1*11 donors, confirming functional antigen presentation
