LAFEM: A scoring model to evaluate functional landscape of lysine acetylome
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2023 Dec 15:100700. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100700. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProtein lysine acetylation is a critical post-translation modification (PTM) involved in a wide range of biological processes. To date, about 20,000 acetylation sites of Homo sapiens were identified through mass spectrometry-based proteomic technology but more than 95% of them have unclear functional annotations due to the lack of existing prioritization strategy to assess the functional importance of the acetylation sites on large-scale. Hence, we established a lysine acetylation functional evaluating model (LAFEM) by ...

Dissecting ubiquitylation and DNA damage response pathways in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a proteome-wide approach
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2023 Dec 13:100695. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100695. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn response to genotoxic stress, cells evolved with a complex signaling network referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). It is now well established that the DDR depends upon various post-translational modifications; among them, ubiquitylation plays a key regulatory role. Here, we profiled ubiquitylation in response to the DNA alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using quantitative proteomics. To discover new proteins ubiquitylated upon DNA replication stress, ...

Proteoform-resolved profiling of plasminogen activation reveals novel abundant phosphorylation site and primary N-terminal cleavage site
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2023 Dec 13:100696. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100696. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlasminogen, the zymogen of plasmin, is a glycoprotein involved in fibrinolysis and a wide variety of other physiological processes. Plasminogen dysregulation has been implicated in a range of diseases. Classically, human plasminogen is categorized into two types, supposedly having different functional features, based on the presence (type I) or absence (type II) of a single N-linked glycan. Using high-resolution native mass spectrometry (native MS), we uncover that the proteoform profiles of human plasminogen (and plas...

A Causal Model of Ion Interference Enables Assessment and Correction of Ratio Compression in Multiplex Proteomics
In this study, we thoroughly characterized ion interference at the MS2 level using a defined two-proteome experimental system with known ground-truth. We discovered remarkably poor agreement between the apparent precursor purity in the isolation window and the actual level of observed reporter ion interference in MS2-scans - a discrepancy that we found resolved by considering co-fragmentation of peptide ions hidden within the spectral "noise" of the MS1 isolation window. To address this issue, we developed a regression modeling strategy to accurately predict reporter ion interference in any dataset. Finally, we demonstrate...

Quantitative proteomics of tissue infiltrating T cells from CRC patients identified Lipocalin-2 induces T cell apoptosis and promotes tumor cell proliferation by iron efflux
In this study, we analyzed the protein expression pattern of the infiltrating T cells isolated from CRC patients using quantitative proteomics. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were isolated from clinical samples and labeled by TMT reagents, and the DEPs were quantified by mass spectrometry. The T cell proteome profiling revealed dysfunctions in these tumor-infiltrating T cells. Specifically, anti-tumor immunity was suppressed due to differentially expressed metal ion transporters and immunity regulators. For the first time, Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) was shown to be significantly up-regulated in CD4+ T cells. Quantitative proteomic analysis...
