High-resolution structural proteomics of mitochondria using the 'Build and Retrieve' methodology

Mol Cell Proteomics. 2023 Oct 13:100666. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100666. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe application of integrated systems biology to the field of structural biology is a promising new direction, although it is still in the infant stages of development. Here we report the use of single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to identify multiple proteins from three enriched heterogeneous fractions prepared from human liver mitochondrial lysate. We simultaneously identify and solve high-resolution structures of nine essential mitochondrial enzymes with key metabolic functions, including fatty acid catabolism, reactive oxidative species clearance and amino acid metabolism. Our methodology also identified multiple distinct members of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. This work highlights the potential of cryo-EM to explore tissue proteomics at the atomic level.PMID:37839702 | DOI:10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100666
