Project description:Microproteins, as hidden players in the proteomic club, are encoded by small open reading frames (sORFs) and have garnered increasing attention in recent years. T cells play a critical role in the immune system's response to cancer, however, the exploration of novel microproteins in T cells remains an unexplored area. In this study, we employed an integrated approach combined nascent protein profiling and quantitative global proteomics to identify novel microproteins in human T cells.

Project description:Proteogenomics methods have identified many non-annotated protein-coding genes in the human genome. Many of the newly discovered protein-coding genes encode peptides and small proteins, referred to collectively as microproteins. Microproteins are produced through ribosome translation of small open reading frames (smORFs). The discovery of many smORFs reveals a blind spot in traditional gene-finding algorithms for these genes. Biological studies have found roles for microproteins in cell biology and physiology, and the potential that there exists additional bioactive microproteins drives the interest in detection and discovery of these molecules. A key step in any proteogenomics workflow is the assembly of RNA-Seq data into likely mRNA transcrips that are then used to create a searchable protein databases. Here we demonstrate that specific features of the assembled transcriptome impact microprotein detection by shotgun proteomics. By tailoring transcript assembly for downstream mass spectrometry searching, we show that we can detect more than double the number of high-quality microprotein candidates and introduce a novel open-source mRNA assembler for proteogenomics (MAPS) that incorporates all of these features. By integrating our specialized assembler, MAPS, and a popular generalized assembler into our proteogenomics pipeline, we detect 45 novel human microproteins from a high quality proteogenomics dataset of a human cell line. We then characterize the features of the novel microproteins, identifying two classes of microproteins. Our work highlights the importance of specialized transcriptome assembly upstream of proteomics validation when searching for short and potentially rare and poorly conserved proteins.

Project description:Noncanonical micropeptides, i.e., polypeptides mostly under 10 kDa, are encoded by genomic sequences that have been previously annotated as noncoding but now known as small open reading frames (sORFs). The recent identification of microproteins encoded by sORFs has provided evidence that many sORFs encode functional microproteins that play crucial roles in various biological processes. T cell activation is a critical biological process for adaptive immune response. Understanding key players in this process will allow us to decipher the complex mechanisms as well as develop immunotherapy for treating a wide range of diseases. Although there have been extensive studies on canonical proteins in T cell activation, the microproteins in T cells and their roles have been uncharted water to date. In this study, we combined nascent proteomics and quantitative proteomics to identify 411 novel microproteins in primary human T cells, including 83 nascent microproteins that are defined as newly synthesized polypeptides emerged during the translation of mRNA. We activated the T cell function with either PMA/Ionomycin (distal activation) or CD3/CD28 activating antibodies (proximal activation), and obtained a comprehensive canonical protein and microprotein profiles to pinpoint common and distinct differentially expressed proteins under these two activation conditions. After experimental testing, three microproteins numbered T1, T2 and T3 were found to be functional in regulating T cell activation. Bioinformatic and proteomic analyses suggested that T1 was functional related to immune as negative feedback to T cell activation. Our study not only established an integrated approach to uncover and elucidate novel microproteins but also highlight the significant role of microproteins in regulating T cell activation.

Project description:MicroProteins are short, single domain proteins that act by sequestering larger, multidomain proteins into non-functional complexes. MicroProteins have been identified in plants and animals, where they are mostly involved in the regulation of developmental processes. Here we show that two Arabidopsis thaliana microProteins, miP1a and miP1b, physically interact with CONSTANS (CO) a potent regulator of flowering time. The miP1a/b-type microProteins evolved in dicotyledonous plants and have an additional carboxy-terminal PF(V/L)FL motif. This motif enables miP1a/b microProteins to interact with TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED (TPL/TPR) proteins. Interaction of CO with miP1a/b/TPL causes late flowering due to a failure in the induction of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression under inductive long day conditions. Both miP1a and miP1b are expressed in vascular tissue, where CO and FT are active. Genetically, miP1a/b act upstream of CO thus our findings unravel a novel layer of flowering time regulation via microProtein-inhibition. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis of four biological samples were analysed with two technical replicates. Columbia wildtype plants Col-0, constans mutant plants co-SAIL, and two transgenic lines overexpressing a microProtein (miP1a and miP1b) were sequenced.

Project description:The absence of thousands of recently annotated small open reading frame (smORF)-encoded peptides and small proteins (microproteins) from databases has precluded their analysis in metabolism and metabolic disease. Given the outsized importance of small proteins and peptides in metabolism—insulin, leptin, amylin, glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)—microproteins are a potentially rich source of uncharacterized metabolic regulators. Here, we annotate smORFs in primary differentiated brown, white, and beige mouse adipose cells. Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) detected a total of 3,877 unannotated smORFs. Analysis of RNA-Seq datasets revealed diet-regulated smORF expression in adipose tissues, and validated the adipose translation of the feeding-neuron marker gene Gm8773. Gm8773 encodes the mouse homolog of FAM237B, a neurosecretory protein that stimulates food intake and promotes weight gain in chickens. Testing of recombinant mFAM237B produced similar orexigenic activity in mice further supporting a role for FAM237B a metabolic regulator and part of the brain-adipose axis. Furthermore, we showed that data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) proteomics can provide a sensitive, flexible, and quantitative platform for identifying microproteins by mass spectrometry. Using this system led to the detection of 58 microproteins from cell culture and an additional 25 from mouse serum. The proteomics data established the anti-inflammatory microprotein AW112010 as a circulating factor, and found that serum levels of a microprotein translated from a FRS2 uORF is elevated in older obese mice. Together, the data highlight the value of this database in examining understudied smORFs and microproteins in metabolic research and identifying additional regulators of metabolism.

Project description:Here, we present global microprotein quantitation in two human leukemia cell lines, K562 and MOLT4. We identify unannotated microproteins that are differentially expressed in these cell lines. The expression of six microproteins was validated biochemically, and two were found to localize to the nucleus. Thus, we demonstrate that label-free comparative proteomics enables quantitation of microprotein expression between human cell lines, and that differentially expressed microproteins have properties, like subcellular localization, consistent with functionality.

Project description:Proteogenomic and ribosome profiling identification of translated small open reading frames have revealed thousands of microproteins, or polypeptides of less than 100 amino acids, that were previously invisible to geneticists. However, the vast majority of microproteins remain uncharacterized in molecular detail, in part because their lack of conservation and short lengths preclude analysis of homology to protein domains of known function. Proximity-dependent biotinylation technique provided an alternative approach to define the composition of subcellular compartments in living cells and animals. Here, we developed the first high-throughput technology for global mapping of cryptic microproteins to specific subcellular localizations and organelles by proximity-dependent biotinylation technology, thereby coupling their discovery to a dimension of biological functional information. In this work, we showed that hundreds of microproteins are subnuclear organelles associated with critical cellular and biological functions. Moreover, one of these novel microproteins, alt-LAMA3, localized in the nucleolus, is functionally associated with pre-rRNA transcription and required for global protein synthesis during ribosome biogenesis. Lastly, we applied this technique to mouse models, demonstrating the foundation for its use in discovery and characterization of microproteins in animals.
