Enhanced autophagic-lysosomal activity and increased BAG3-mediated selective macroautophagy as adaptive response of neuronal cells to chronic oxidati…
2019
Oxidative stress and a disturbed cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis) belong to the most important hallmarks of aging and of neurodegenerative disorders. The proteasomal and autophagic-lysosomal degradation pathways are key measures to maintain proteostasis. Here, we report that hippocampal cells selected for full adaptation and resistance to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (oxidative stress-resistant cells, OxSR cells) showed a massive increase in the expression of components of the cellular autophagic-lysosomal network and a significantly higher overall autophagic activity. A comparative expression analysis revealed that distinct key regulators of autophagy are upregu…
Label-free quantification in ion mobility-enhanced data-independent acquisition proteomics.
2016
Unbiased data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategies have gained increased popularity in the field of quantitative proteomics. The integration of ion mobility separation (IMS) into DIA workflows provides an additional dimension of separation to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and it increases the achievable analytical depth of DIA approaches. Here we provide a detailed protocol for a label-free quantitative proteomics workflow based on ion mobility-enhanced DIA, which synchronizes precursor ion drift times with collision energies to improve precursor fragmentation efficiency. The protocol comprises a detailed description of all major steps including instrument setup, filt…
Label-Free Proteomics of Quantity-Limited Samples Using Ion Mobility-Assisted Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry
2021
Over the past two decades, unbiased data-independent acquisition (DIA) approaches have gained increasing popularity in the bottom-up proteomics field. Here, we describe an ion mobility separation enhanced DIA workflow for large-scale label-free quantitative proteomics studies where starting material is limited. We set a special focus on the single pot solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3) protocol, which is well suited for the processing of quantity-limited samples.
Quantitative Proteome and Phosphoproteome Profiling in Magnaporthe oryzae
2021
The quality and consistency in every sample preparation procedure is crucial for any scientific output. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to have easy, economic, and robust sample preparation protocols. Here, we describe a simple and robust bottom-up proteomic sample preparation strategy for identification and label-free quantification (LFQ) of proteins and phosphoproteins. The presented workflow is designed for large-scale application and involves easy scalable and well-known robust sample preparation techniques, such as cell lysis with SDS buffer under heat, protein precipitation using methanol/chloroform, tryptic digest, and commercially available TiO2 phosphopeptide enrichment kits.…
In-depth evaluation of software tools for data-independent acquisition based label-free quantification.
2015
Label-free quantification (LFQ) based on data-independent acquisition workflows currently experiences increasing popularity. Several software tools have been recently published or are commercially available. The present study focuses on the evaluation of three different software packages (Progenesis, synapter, and ISOQuant) supporting ion mobility enhanced data-independent acquisition data. In order to benchmark the LFQ performance of the different tools, we generated two hybrid proteome samples of defined quantitative composition containing tryptically digested proteomes of three different species (mouse, yeast, Escherichia coli). This model dataset simulates complex biological samples con…
Biomedical applications of ion mobility-enhanced data-independent acquisition-based label-free quantitative proteomics.
2014
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics greatly benefited from recent improvements in instrument performance and the development of bioinformatics solutions facilitating the high-throughput quantification of proteins in complex biological samples. In addition to quantification approaches using stable isotope labeling, label-free quantification has emerged as the method of choice for many laboratories. Over the last years, data-independent acquisition approaches have gained increasing popularity. The integration of ion mobility separation into commercial instruments enabled researchers to achieve deep proteome coverage from limiting sample amounts. Additionally, ion mobility provides a new dimens…
Hybrid QconCAT-Based Targeted Absolute and Data-Independent Acquisition-Based Label-Free Quantification Enables In-Depth Proteomic Characterization o…
2021
Wheat amylase/trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) have gained significant relevance as inducers of intestinal and extra-intestinal inflammation. In this study, we present a novel hybrid data-independent acquisition (DIA) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approach, combining QconCAT technology with short microflow LC gradients and DIA and apply the method toward the quantitative proteome analysis of ATI extracts. The presented method is fast, robust, and reproducible and provides precise QconCAT-based absolute quantification of major ATI proteins while simultaneously quantifying the proteome by label-free quantification (LFQ). We analyzed extracts of 60 varieties of common wheat grown in…
The deubiquitinase USP11 is a versatile and conserved regulator of autophagy
2021
Autophagy is a major cellular quality control system responsible for the degradation of proteins and organelles in response to stress and damage to maintain homeostasis. Ubiquitination of autophagy-related proteins or regulatory components is important for the precise control of autophagy pathways. Here, we show that the deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) restricts autophagy and that KO of USP11 in mammalian cells results in elevated autophagic flux. We also demonstrate that depletion of the USP11 homolog H34C03.2 in Caenorhabditis elegans triggers hyperactivation of autophagy and protects the animals against human amyloid-β peptide 42 aggregation-induced paralysis. USP11…
