Many biological processes, such as cell division cycle and drug resistance, are reflected in protein covariation across single cells. This can be quantified interpreted by single-cell mass spectrometry with sufficiently high throughput accuracy.
Major aims of single-cell proteomics include increasing the consistency, sensitivity and depth protein quantification, especially for proteins modifications biological interest. Here, to simultaneously advance all these aims, we developed prioritized Single-Cell ProtEomics (pSCoPE). pSCoPE consistently analyzes thousands peptides across single cells (thus data completeness) while maximizing instrument time spent analyzing identifiable peptides, thus proteome depth. These strategies increased...

To study mesenchymal-epithelial interactions associated with the normal and pathological human prostate, we have developed a model of well differentiated prostate epithelial fibroblastic cells. Normal prostatic cells, either or origins were successfully transfected SV40 strains extended lifespan selected until crisis was reached, within 20 30 passages for respectively. Only few clones emerged from crisis: PNT1A (Cussenot et al: J Urol 143: 881-886, 1991), PNT1B PNT2 cell lines. Successful...

Secondary are oxidized to ketones, directly methyl esters presence methanol, benzylic either benzaldehydes or esters, depending on conditions used. The reaction mild generally provide complete conversion 5–30 min.

Many biological processes, such as the cell division cycle, are reflected in protein covariation across single cells. This can be quantified and interpreted by single-cell mass-spectrometry (MS) with sufficiently high throughput accuracy. Towards this goal, we developed nPOP, a method that uses piezo acoustic dispensing to isolate individual cells 300 picoliter volumes performs all subsequent sample preparation steps small droplets on fluorocarbon-coated slide. design enabled simultaneous of...
Cellular protein concentrations are maintained through a balance of synthesis and clearance. Clearance occurs both degradation growth-dependent dilution. At slow growth, clearance is dominated by degradation, which leads to the accumulation long lived proteins. fast however, it dilution, preventing this accumulation. Thus, concentration proteins will be reduced unless cells compensate preferentially increasing rates. To determine dominant regulatory mechanisms, we quantified degree...
Lewis acid catalyzed ring opening of 1,1-cyclopropanediesters by the hydroxyl group a propargyl alcohol sets up subsequent Conia-ene cyclization to afford substituted tetrahydropyrans in one-pot, high-yielding procedure.
The physiological response of a cell to stimulation depends on its proteome configuration. Therefore, the abundance variation regulatory proteins across unstimulated single cells can be associatively linked with their stimulation. Here we developed an approach that leverages this association individual and nuclei systematically identify potential regulators biological processes, followed by targeted validation. Specifically, applied nucleocytoplasmic protein transport in macrophages...

To simultaneously advance all these aims, we developed prioritized Single Cell ProtEomics (pSCoPE). pSCoPE consistently analyzes thousands peptides across single cells (thus data completeness) while analyzing identifiable at full duty-cycle, thus proteome depth. These strategies increased completeness, coverage over...
Abstract Limiting artifacts during sample preparation can significantly increase data quality in single-cell proteomics experiments. Towards this goal, we characterize the impact of protein leakage by analyzing thousands primary single cells that were prepared either fresh immediately after dissociation or cryopreserved and at a later date. We directly identify permeabilized use to define signature for leakage. build classifier identifying damaged performs accurately across cell types species.
Amino acid substitutions may substantially alter protein stability and function, but the contribution of arising from alternate translation (deviations genetic code) is unknown. To explore it, we analyzed deep proteomic transcriptomic data over 1,000 human samples, including 6 cancer types 26 healthy tissues. This global analysis identified 60,024 high confidence corresponding to 8,801 unique sites in proteins derived 1,990 genes. Some are shared across while others exhibit strong...

Current mass-spectrometry methods enable high-throughput proteomics of large sample amounts, but low amounts remains limited in depth and throughput. To increase the throughput sensitive proteomics, we developed an experimental computational framework, plexDIA, for simultaneously multiplexing analysis both peptides samples. Multiplexed with plexDIA increases multiplicatively number labels without reducing proteome coverage or quantitative accuracy. By using 3-plex nonisobaric mass tags,...
Mass spectrometry (MS) enables specific and accurate quantification of proteins with ever-increasing throughput sensitivity. Maximizing this potential MS requires optimizing data acquisition parameters performing efficient quality control for large datasets. To facilitate these objectives data-independent (DIA), we developed a second version our framework data-driven optimization methods (DO-MS). The DO-MS app v2.0 (do-ms.slavovlab.net) allows one to optimize evaluate results from both...
