Unveiling The Peptidase Network Orchestrating Hemoglobin Catabolism in Rhodnius prolixus
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2024 Apr 23:100775. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100775. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChagas disease is transmitted to humans by obligatory hematophagous insects of Triatominae subfamily, which feeds on various hosts to acquire their nutritional sustenance derived from blood proteins. Hemoglobin digestion is a pivotal metabolic feature of triatomines, representing a key juncture in their competence toward Trypanosoma cruzi; however, it remains poorly understood. To explore the hemoglobin digestion pathway in Rhodnius prolixus, a major Chagas disease vector, we employed an array of approaches for activity...

phuEGO: A network-based method to reconstruct active signalling pathways from phosphoproteomics datasets
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2024 Apr 18:100771. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100771. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSignalling networks are critical for virtually all cell functions. Our current knowledge of cell signalling has been summarised in signalling pathway databases, which, while useful, are highly biassed towards well-studied processes, and do not capture context specific network wiring or pathway cross-talk. Mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics data can provide a more unbiased view of active cell signalling processes in a given context, however, it suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio and poor reproducibility across...

Proteomic and cellular characterization of Omicron breakthrough infections and a third homologous or heterologous boosting vaccination in a longitudinal cohort
CONCLUSION: Breakthrough infections can trigger more intensive inflammatory chemokine responses than vaccination. T-cell and innate immune activation have been shown to be closely related to enhanced antibody levels after vaccination and therefore might be potential targets for vaccine adjuvant design.PMID:38641227 | DOI:10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100769 (Source: Molecular and Cellular Proteomics : MCP)

Replisome proximal protein associations and dynamic proteomic changes at stalled replication forks
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2024 Apr 12:100767. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100767. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDNA replication is a fundamental cellular process that ensures the transfer of genetic information during cell division. Genome duplication takes place in S phase and requires a dynamic and highly coordinated recruitment of multiple proteins at replication forks. Various genotoxic stressors lead to fork instability and collapse, hence the need for DNA repair pathways. By identifying the multitude of protein interactions implicated in those events we can better grasp the complex and dynamic molecular mechanisms that faci...

Comprehensive proteomics analysis of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biology in Pseudomonas putida KT2440: the outer membrane lipoprotein OprL is a newly identified phasin
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2024 Apr 10:100765. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100765. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPseudomonas putida KT2440 is an important bioplastic-producing industrial microorganism capable of synthesizing the polymeric carbon-rich storage material, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). PHA is sequestered in discrete PHA granules, or carbonosomes, and accumulates under conditions of stress, for example low levels of available nitrogen. The pha locus responsible for PHA metabolism encodes both anabolic and catabolic enzymes, a transcription factor, and carbonosome-localized proteins termed phasins. The functions of phasins...

Proteomics-derived biomarker panel facilitates distinguishing primary lung adenocarcinomas with intestinal or mucinous differentiation (PAIM) from lung metastatic colorectal cancer (lmCRC)
This study aimed to explore the protein biomarkers that could distinguish between PAIM and lmCRC. To uncover differences between the two diseases, we used tandem mass tagging (TMT)-based shotgun proteomics to characterize proteomes of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples of PAIM (n = 22) and lmCRC (n = 17).Then three machine learning algorithms, namely support vector machine (SVM), random forest and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), were utilized to select protein features with diagnostic significance. These candidate proteins were further validated in an independent cohort (PAIM...
