Mechanical signals play a critical role in the regulation of muscle mass, but molecules that sense mechanical and convert this stimulus into biochemical events regulate mass remain ill-defined. Here we report spectrometry-based workflow to study changes protein phosphorylation occur mouse skeletal 1 h after bout electrically evoked maximal-intensity contractions (MICs). Our dataset provides first comprehensive map MIC-regulated phosphoproteome. Using unbiased bioinformatics approaches,...
Influenza virus expresses transcripts early in infection and transitions towards genome replication at later time points. This process requires de novo assembly of the viral machinery, large ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) composed polymerase, genomic RNA oligomeric nucleoprotein (NP). Despite central role RNPs during infection, factors dictating where when they assemble are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that human protein kinase C (PKC) family members regulate RNP assembly....
Mechanical signals, such as those evoked by maximal-intensity contractions (MICs), can induce an increase in muscle mass. Rapamycin-sensitive signaling events are widely implicated the regulation of this process; however, recent studies indicate that rapamycin-insensitive also involved. Thus, to identify these events, we generate a map MIC-regulated and rapamycin-sensitive phosphoproteome. In total, quantify more than 10,000 unique phosphorylation sites find 2,000 significantly affected...
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a therapeutic approach that leverages the cell's natural machinery to degrade targets instead of inhibiting them. This accomplished by using mono- or bifunctional small molecules designed induce proximity target proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases, leading ubiquitination subsequent proteasome-dependent target. One most significant attributes TPD its proposed catalytic mechanism action, which permits substoichiometric exposure achieve desired...
Negative-sense RNA viruses assemble large ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that direct replication and transcription of the viral genome. Influenza virus RNPs contain polymerase, genomic multiple copies nucleoprotein (NP). During RNP assembly, monomeric NP oligomerizes along length RNA. Regulated assembly is essential for replication, but how maintained as a monomer subsequently to form poorly understood. Here we elucidate mechanism whereby phosphorylation regulates oligomerization. We...
Peptides presented by the class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) are important targets for immunotherapy. The identification of these peptide greatly facilitates generation T-cell-based therapeutics.

Abstract Introduction: Telisotuzumab Vedotin (Teliso-V), a first-in-class c-Met-MMAE antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), achieved FDA breakthrough therapy designation in c-Met overexpressing (OE), 2nd Line+ EGFR wild-type, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In addition, phase 1/1b trial, Teliso-V demonstrated 50% response combination with the inhibitor, osimertinib, mutant (EGFR-MT) NSCLC patients who had progressed on osimertinib. Here, we present mechanistic insights...
We describe a new method to accomplish multiplexed, absolute protein quantification in targeted fashion. The approach draws upon the recently developed neutron encoding (NeuCode) metabolic labeling strategy and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Since PRM scanning relies high-resolution tandem mass spectra for quantification, incorporation of multiple NeuCode labeled peptides permits high levels multiplexing that can be accessed from spectra. Here we demonstrate this cultured cells by viral...

Label-free quantification is a powerful tool for the measurement of protein abundances by mass spectrometric methods. To maximize quantifiable identifications, MS(1)-based methods must balance collection survey scans and fragmentation spectra while maintaining reproducible extracted ion chromatograms (XIC).

Mechanical signals, such as those which are evoked during maximal intensity contractions (MIC), can induce an increase in skeletal muscle size. It has been widely concluded that this process is driven by the activation of rapamycin‐sensitive / mTORC1‐dependent signaling; however, recent studies have revealed mTORC1‐independent signaling events might also be involved. Thus, effort to identify these events, we generated a comprehensive map MIC‐regulated, and phosphoproteomes. In total,...
Identifying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I immunopeptide antigens represents a key step in the development of immune-based targeted therapeutics and vaccines.
