Abstract A better understanding of proteostasis in health and disease requires robust methods to determine protein half-lives. Here we improve the precision accuracy peptide ion intensity-based quantification, enabling more accurate turnover determination non-dividing cells by dynamic SILAC-based proteomics. This approach allows exact half-lives ranging from 10 >1000 h. We identified 4000–6000 proteins several cell types, corresponding 9699 unique identifications over entire data set....
Abstract Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays fundamental roles in cellular biochemistry and was recently discovered to function as a biological hydrotrope. Here, we use mass spectrometry interrogate ATP-mediated regulation of protein thermal stability solubility on proteome-wide scale. Thermal proteome profiling reveals high affinity interactions ATP substrate an allosteric modulator that has widespread influence complexes their stability. Further, develop strategy for profiling, discover...

ChIP-seq has become a widely adopted genomic assay in recent years to determine binding sites for transcription factors or enrichments specific histone modifications. Beside detection of enriched bound regions, an important question is differences between conditions. While this common analysis gene expression, which large number computational approaches have been validated, the same particularly challenging owing complexity data terms noisiness and variability. Many different tools developed...
Detecting the targets of drugs and other molecules in intact cellular contexts is a major objective drug discovery biology more broadly. Thermal proteome profiling (TPP) pursues this aim at proteome-wide scale by inferring target engagement from its effects on temperature-dependent protein denaturation. However, key challenge TPP statistical analysis measured melting curves with controlled false rates high coverage detection power. We present nonparametric response (NPARC), method for based...
Abstract Reversible protein phosphorylation is an important mechanism for regulating (dis)assembly of biomolecular condensates. However, condensate-specific phosphosites remain largely unknown, thereby limiting our understanding the underlying mechanisms. Here, we combine solubility proteome profiling with phosphoproteomics to quantitatively map several hundred enriched in either soluble or condensate-bound subpopulations, including a subset modulating protein–RNA interactions. We show that...
Abstract The complexity of the functional proteome extends considerably beyond coding genome, resulting in millions proteoforms. Investigation proteoforms and their roles is important to understand cellular physiology its deregulation diseases but challenging perform systematically. Here we applied thermal profiling with deep peptide coverage detect proteoform groups acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines different cytogenetic aberrations. We detected 15,846 proteoforms, capturing...
The phosphatases PP1 and PP2A are responsible for the majority of dephosphorylation reactions on phosphoserine (pSer) phosphothreonine (pThr), involved in virtually all cellular processes numerous diseases. catalytic subunits exist cells form holoenzymes, which impart substrate specificity. contribution to recognition substrates is unclear. By developing a phosphopeptide library approach phosphoproteomic assay, we demonstrate that specificity holoenzymes towards pThr basic motifs adjacent...
Detecting ligand-protein interactions in living cells is a fundamental challenge molecular biology and drug research. Proteome-wide profiling of thermal stability as function ligand concentration promises to tackle this challenge. However, current data analysis strategies use preset thresholds that can lead suboptimal sensitivity/specificity tradeoffs limited comparability across datasets. Here, we present method based on statistical hypothesis testing curves, which provides control the...
Production of indigoidine can be enhanced by swapping a synthetic T domain into the NRPS IndC.
Protein aggregates have negative implications in disease. While reductionist experiments increased our understanding of aggregation processes, the systemic view biological context is still limited. To extend this understanding, we used mass spectrometry-based proteomics to characterize and disaggregation human cells after non-lethal heat shock. Aggregation-prone proteins were enriched nuclear proteins, high proportion intrinsically disordered regions, molecular mass, isoelectric point,...

Single-gene deletions can affect the expression levels of other genes in same operon bacterial genomes. Here, we used proteomics for 133 Escherichia coli gene deletion mutants and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data from 71 to probe extent transcriptional post-transcriptional effects operons. Transcriptional were common on located downstream consistent across all members, with nearly 40% operons showing greater than 2-fold up- or downregulation. Surprisingly, observed an additional...
Summary Reversible protein phosphorylation regulates virtually every cellular process and is arguably the most well-studied post-translational modification. Still, less than 3% of sites identified in humans have annotated functions. Functionally-relevant are known to trigger conformational changes proteins and/or regulate their interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids small molecules - all which can be reflected thermal stability a protein. Thus, combining proteome profiling (TPP)...
Abstract Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely used for the analysis of genomic data to perform feature extraction and signature identification due interpretability decomposed signatures. However, running a basic NMF requires installation multiple tools dependencies, along with steep learning curve computing time. To mitigate such obstacles, we developed ShinyButchR, novel R/Shiny application that provides complete NMF-based workflow, allowing user decomposition using NMF,...
