Cell-surface proteins are of great biomedical importance, as demonstrated by the fact that 66% approved human drugs listed in DrugBank database target a cell-surface protein. Despite this relevance, there has been no comprehensive assessment surfaceome, and only fraction predicted 5,000 transmembrane have shown to be located at plasma membrane. To enable analysis we developed surfaceome predictor SURFY, based on machine learning. As training set, used experimentally verified high-confidence...
Neurons build synaptic contacts using different protein combinations that define the specificity, function, and plasticity potential of synapses; however, diversity proteomes remains largely unexplored. We prepared synaptosomes from 7 transgenic mouse lines with fluorescently labeled presynaptic terminals. Combining microdissection 5 brain regions fluorescent-activated synaptosome sorting (FASS), we isolated analyzed 18 synapse types. discovered ∼1,800 unique synapse-type-enriched proteins...

Abstract Brain function relies on communication via neuronal synapses. Neurons build and diversify synaptic contacts using different protein combinations that define the specificity, plasticity potential of More than a thousand proteins have been globally identified in both pre- postsynaptic compartments, providing substantial for diversity. While there is ample evidence diverse structures, states or functional properties, diversity underlying individual proteomes remains largely unexplored....
Myelofibrosis is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder belonging to the myeloproliferative neoplasms. patients frequently carry driver mutations in either JAK2 or Calreticulin (CALR) and have limited therapeutic options. Here, we integrate ex vivo drug response proteotype analyses across myelofibrosis patient cohorts discover targetable vulnerabilities associated strategies. Drug sensitivities of mutated progenitor cells were measured blood using high-content imaging single-cell deep...
Abstract Proteins that interact together participate in the same cellular process and influence organismal traits. Despite progress mapping protein-protein interactions we lack knowledge of how they differ between tissues. Due to coordinated (post)transcriptional control, protein complex members have highly correlated abundances are predictive functional association. Here, compiled 7873 proteomic samples measuring levels 11 human tissues use these define an atlas with tissue-specific...
Abstract Despite progress in mapping protein–protein interactions, their tissue specificity is understudied. Here, given that protein coabundance predictive of functional association, we compiled and analyzed abundance data 7,811 proteomic samples from 11 human tissues to produce an atlas tissue-specific associations. We find this method recapitulates known complexes the larger structural organization cell. Interactions stable are well preserved across tissues, while cell-type-specific...
Exposure of the developing brain to immune mediators, including antibodies, is postulated increase risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative disease. It has been suggested that immunoglobulin G-immune complexes (IgG-IC) activate Fc gamma receptors (FcγR) expressed on neurons modify signaling events in these cells. However, testing this hypothesis hindered by a paucity data regarding neuronal FcγR expression function.FcγR transcript hippocampus, cortex, cerebellum neonatal...
Proteostasis - the maintenance of proteins at proper concentrations, conformations, and subcellular locations is essential for cellular function governed by tightly regulated protein synthesis degradation pathways. The Proteasome Maturation Protein (POMP) a key chaperone involved in assembling proteasome, primary complex responsible degradation. Despite conserved role POMP, its loss produces contrasting proteostatic effects yeast mammalian cells, pointing to additional, unexplored functions....
