Damage to and loss of glomerular podocytes has been identified as the culprit lesion in progressive kidney diseases. Here, we combine mass spectrometry-based proteomics with mRNA sequencing, bioinformatics, hypothesis-driven studies provide a comprehensive quantitative map mammalian that identifies unanticipated signaling pathways. Comparison vivo datasets data from podocyte cell cultures showed limited value available culture models. Moreover, stable isotope labeling by amino acids...

Reversible phosphorylations play a critical role in most biological pathways. Hence, signaling studies great effort has been put into identification of maximum number phosphosites per experiment. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics approaches have proven to be an ideal analytical method for mapping phosphosites. However, because sample complexity, fractionation phosphopeptides prior MS analysis is crucial step. In the current study, we compare chromatographic strategies...

Under conditions of nutrient shortage autophagy is the primary cellular mechanism ensuring availability substrates for continuous biosynthesis. Subjecting cells to starvation or rapamycin efficiently induces by inhibiting MTOR signaling pathway triggering increased autophagic flux. To elucidate regulation early events upon induction, we applied quantitative phosphoproteomics characterizing temporal phosphorylation dynamics after and treatment. We obtained a comprehensive atlas kinetics...

Macroautophagy is regarded as a nonspecific bulk degradation process of cytoplasmic material within the lysosome. However, has mainly been studied by assays using radiolabeling. In present study we monitor protein turnover and global, unbiased approaches relying on quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics. induced rapamycin treatment, amino acid glucose starvation in differentially, metabolically labeled cells. Protein dynamics are linked to image-based models autophagosome turnover....

In large-scale phosphoproteomics studies, fractionation by strong cation exchange (SCX) or electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) is commonly used to reduce sample complexity, fractionate phosphopeptides from their unmodified counterparts, and increase the dynamic range for phosphopeptide identification. However, these procedures do not succeed separate, both singly multiply phosphorylated peptides due inverse physicochemical characteristics. Hence, depending...

Protein phosphorylation is an important mechanism of cellular signaling, and many proteins are precisely regulated through the interplay stimulatory inhibitory sites. Phosphoproteomics offers great opportunities to unravel this complex interplay, generating a mechanistic understanding vital processes. However, protein substoichiometric and, in particular, peptides carrying multiple sites extremely difficult detect highly mixture abundant nonphosphorylated peptides. Chromatographic methods...

The serine/threonine kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) governs growth, metabolism, and aging in response to insulin amino acids (aa), is often activated metabolic disorders cancer. Much known about the regulatory signaling network that encompasses mTOR, but surprisingly few direct mTOR substrates have been established date. To tackle this gap our knowledge, we took advantage a combined quantitative phosphoproteomic interactomic strategy. We analyzed insulin- aa-responsive...

Adenoviruses (AdVs) have recently become widely used therapeutic vectors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. AdVs are large, nonenveloped viruses with an icosahedral capsid formed from several proteins that encloses double-stranded DNA. These the main components and key players in initial stages of infection by virus particles, so their heterogeneity content must be evaluated to ensure product process consistency. Peptide mapping can provide detailed...
