- The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) is an agriculturally important species of high economic value but of low reproductive efficiency. Serum and IgG N-glycosylation are affected by physiological and pathogenic changes and might therefore be a useful diagnostic tool in camel livestock management. This study presents the first comprehensive annotation of the N-glycome from dromedary camel serum as well as their single-domain and conventional antibodies and its subsequent application for camel pregnancy diagnostics. N-glycans were released by PNGaseF, labeled with 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB), and analyzed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with fluorescent detection (HILIC-UPLC-FLD), enzymatic sequencing and mass spectrometry (MS). The use of a high-throughput robotic platform for sample preparation allowed the rapid generation of glycomics data from pregnant (n = 8) and nonpregnant (n = 8) camels of the Majaheem and Wadha breed. IgG N-glycans dominate the glycan profile of camel serum and present a mixture of core-fucosylated and noncore-fucosylated N-glycans which can contain N-glycolylneuraminic and N-acetylneuraminic acid. Significant pregnancy-associated but breed-independent increases in galactosylation, core-fucosylation, sialylation, and decreases in serum O-acetylation were observed. The monitoring of IgG and serum N-glycosylation presents an attractive complementary test for camel pregnancy diagnostics and presents an interesting tool for biomarker discovery in camel health and breeding.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have used household consumables to facilitate electrochemical etching of stainless-steel hypodermic tubing to produce tapered-tip emitters suitable for electrospray ionization for use in mass spectrometry. The process involves the use of 1% oxalic acid and a 5 W USB power adapter, commonly known as a phone charger. Further, our method avoids the otherwise commonly used strong acids that entail chemical hazards: concentrated HNO3 for etching stainless steel, or concentrated HF for etching fused silica. Hence, we here provide a convenient and self-inhibiting procedure with minimal chemical hazards to manufacture tapered-tip stainless-steel emitters. We show its performance in metabolomic analysis with CE-MS of a tissue homogenate where the metabolites acetylcarnitine, arginine, carnitine, creatine, homocarnosine, and valerylcarnitine were identified, all with basepeak separated electropherograms, within <6 min of separation. The mass spectrometry data are freely available through the MetaboLight public data repository via access number MTBLS7230.

Evaluation of Database Search Programs for Accurate Detection of Neuropeptides in Tandem Mass Spectrometry Experiments
- 2012
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Neuropeptide identification in mass spectrometry experiments using database search programs developed for proteins is challenging. Unlike proteins, the detection of the complete sequence using a single spectrum is required to identify neuropeptides or prohormone peptides. This study compared the performance of three open-source programs used to identify proteins, OMSSA, X!Tandem and Crux, to identify prohormone peptides. From a target database of 7850 prohormone peptides, 23550 query spectra were simulated across different scenarios. Crux was the only program that correctly matched all peptides regardless of p-value and at p-value < 1 X 10(-2), 33%, 64%, and >75%, of the 5, 6, and >= 7 amino acid-peptides were detected. Crux also had the best performance in the identification of peptides from chimera spectra and in a variety of missing ion scenarios. OMSSA, X!Tandem and Crux correctly detected 98.9% (99.9%), 93.9% (97.4%) and 88.7% (98.3%) of the peptides at E- or p-value < 1 X 10(-6) (< 1 X 10(-2)), respectively. OMSSA and X! Tandem outperformed the other programs in significance level and computational speed, respectively. A consensus approach is not recommended because some prohormone peptides were only identified by one program.

- Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are commonly used flame retardants in various consumer products. Pre- and postnatal exposure to congeners of PBDEs disrupts normal brain development in rodents. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was used to analyze concentration-dependent differences in protein expression in cultured cortical cells isolated from rat fetuses (GD 21) after 24 h exposure to PBDE-99 (3, 10, or 30 muM). Changes on a post-translational level were studied using a 1 h exposure to 30 muM PBDE-99. The effects of 24 h exposure to 3 and 30 muM PBDE-99 on mRNA levels were measured using oligonucleotide microarrays. A total of 62, 46, and 443 proteins were differentially expressed compared to controls after 24 h of exposure to 3, 10, and 30 muM PDBE-99, respectively. Of these, 48, 43, and 238 proteins were successfully identified, respectively. We propose that the biological effects of low-concentration PBDE-99 exposure are fundamentally different than effects of high-concentration exposure. Low-dose PBDE-99 exposure induced marked effects on cytoskeletal proteins, which was not correlated to cytotoxicity or major morphological effects, suggesting that other more regulatory aspects of cytoskeletal functions may be affected. Interestingly, 0.3 and 3 muM, but not 10 or 30 muM increased the expression of phosphorylated (active) Gap43, perhaps reflecting effects on neurite extension processes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We describe an approach to screen large sets of MALDI-MS mass spectra for protein isoforms separated on two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. Mass spectra are matched against each other by utilizing extracted peak mass lists and hierarchical clustering. The output is presented as dendrograms in which protein isoforms cluster together. Clustering could be applied to mass spectra from different sample sets, dates, and instruments, revealed similarities between mass spectra, and was a useful tool to highlight peptide peaks of interest for further investigation. Shared peak masses in a cluster could be identified and were used to create novel peak mass lists suitable for protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting. Complex mass spectra consisting of more than one protein were deconvoluted using information from other mass spectra in the same cluster. The number of peptide peaks shared between mass spectra in a cluster was typically found to be larger than the number of peaks that matched to calculated peak masses in databases, thus modified peaks are probably among the shared peptides. Clustering increased the number of peaks associated with a given protein.

Proteomic variation is as large within as between strawberry varieties

- in search for a strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) with low allergen content, we determined the proteomic variation within and between different varieties. Proteomics data were generated by DIGE and proteins identified with MALDI-MS/MS. The amount of the strawberry allergen Fra a 1 varied between different strawberry varieties (CV = 39%). The variation was at the same level, or even slightly larger, due to different growth conditions (CV = 43%). For 153 other proteins, the biological variation was more affected by different growth conditions than by different varieties (mean CV = 52% and 43%, respectively) due to variation in a subset of proteins. Thus, the allergen variation due to growth conditions must be taken into consideration in attempts to obtain a low-allergen strawberry. However, the allergen content was always lower in colorless (white) strawberry varieties than in the red ones. Moreover, of the spots whose expression correlated with the allergen and the color (32 and 68, respectively), only 3 were the same. This implies that these two phenotypic traits are not inseparable, and it may be possible to breed a red strawberry with low amount of allergen.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Antibodies are crucial for the study of human proteins and have been defined as one of the three pillars in the human chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project (CHPP). In this article the chromosome-centric structure has been used to analyze the availability of antibodies as judged by the presence within the portal Antibodypedia, a database designed to allow comparisons and scoring of publicly available antibodies toward human protein targets. This public database displays antibody data from more than one million antibodies toward human protein targets. A summary of the content in this knowledge resource reveals that there exist more than 10 antibodies to over 70% of all the putative human genes, evenly distributed over the 24 human chromosomes. The analysis also shows that at present, less than 10% of the putative human protein-coding genes (n = 1882) predicted from the genome sequence lack antibodies, suggesting that focused efforts from the antibody-based and mass spectrometry-based proteomic communities should be encouraged to pursue the analysis of these missing proteins. We show that Antibodypedia may be used to track the development of available and validated antibodies to the individual chromosomes, and thus the database is an attractive tool to identify proteins with no or few antibodies yet generated.

- Little is known regarding metabolic benefits of weight loss (WL) on the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) patients. We aimed to examine the impact of a lifestyle weight loss (LWL) treatment on the plasma metabolomic profile in MHO individuals. Plasma samples from 57 MHO women allocated to an intensive LWL treatment group (TG, hypocaloric Mediterranean diet and regular physical activity, n = 30) or to a control group (CG, general recommendations of a healthy diet and physical activity, n = 27) were analyzed using an untargeted1H NMR metabolomics approach at baseline, after 3 months (intervention), and 12 months (follow-up). The impact of the LWL intervention on plasma metabolome was statistically significant at 3 months but not at follow-up and included higher levels of formate and phosphocreatine and lower levels of LDL/VLDL (signals) and trimethylamine in the TG. These metabolites were also correlated with WL. Higher myo-inositol, methylguanidine, and 3-hydroxybutyrate, and lower proline, were also found in the TG; higher levels of hippurate and asparagine, and lower levels of 2-hydroxybutyrate and creatine, were associated with WL. The current findings suggest that an intensive LWL treatment, and the consequent WL, leads to an improved plasma metabolic profile in MHO women through its impact on energy, amino acid, lipoprotein, and microbial metabolism.

- Knowledge of glycoproteins, their site-specific glycosylation patterns, and the glycan structures that they present to their recognition partners in health and disease is gradually being built on using a range of experimental approaches. The data from these analyses are increasingly being standardized and presented in various sources, from supplemental tables in publications to localized servers in investigator laboratories. Bioinformatics tools are now needed to collect these data and enable the user to search, display, and connect glycomics and glycoproteomics to other sources of related proteomics, genomics, and interactomics information. We here introduce GlyConnect (https://glyconnect.expasy.org/), the central platform of the Glycomics@ExPASy portal for glycoinformatics. GlyConnect has been developed to gather, monitor, integrate, and visualize data in a user-friendly way to facilitate the interpretation of collected glycoscience data. GlyConnect is designed to accommodate and integrate multiple data types as they are increasingly produced.

Proteomics-based method for the assessment of marine pollution using liquid chromatography coupled with two-dimensional electrophoresis

-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using a proteomic approach, we have developed a new method for the assessment of marine pollution that generates highly reproducible protein expression patterns and it is simple and scalable. The protocol is based on applying liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) to analyze changes in the protein expression pattern after exposure to marine pollution. The digestive gland of the sentinel “blue mussel” (Mytilus edulis) was batch-processed through a simple cell fractionation followed by ion-exchange chromatography and 2-DE. The selection of ligands, elution method, and small volume design was carefully considered to define a protocol that could be mainly robotized. A pilot study with samples collected from different Gothenburg harbor areas indicated that the clean area could be distinguished from the polluted ones based on a protein expression pattern (PES) composed of 13 proteins. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering confirmed that the PES was sufficient to discriminate polluted and unpolluted areas and to provide a spatial gradient from the polluted source. Several proteins from the PES were identified by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI−MS/MS), and they are involved in β-oxidation, amino acid metabolism, detoxification, protein degradation, organelle biogenesis, and protein folding. In the near future, this methodology could show potential advantages to assess marine pollution and could become a stable platform to elucidate ecotoxicological questions.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a comparison of two-dimensional separation methods and how they affect the degree of coverage of protein expression in complex mixtures. We investigated the relative merits of various protein and peptide separations prior to acidic reversed-phase chromatography directly coupled to an ion trap mass spectrometer. The first dimensions investigated were density gradient organelle fractionation of cell extracts, 1D SDS-PAGE protein separation followed by digestion by trypsin or GluC proteases, strong cation exchange chromatography, and off-gel isoelectric focusing of tryptic peptides. The number of fractions from each first dimension and the total data accumulation RP-HPLC-MS/MS time was kept constant and the experiments were run in triplicate. We find that the most critical parameters are the data accumulation time, which defines the level of under-sampling and the avoidance of peptides from high expression level proteins eluting over the entire gradient.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- CK2, an acronym derived from the misnomer "casein kinase 2", denotes a ubiquitous and extremely pleiotropic Ser/Thr protein kinase, the holoenzyme of which is composed of two catalytic (alpha and/or alpha') and two noncatalytic beta subunits acting as a docking platform and the multifarious functions of which are still incompletely understood. By combining affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry, we have identified 144 mouse brain proteins that associate with immobilized CK2beta. A large proportion (60%) of the identified proteins had been previously reported to be functionally related to CK2, and a similar proportion have been classified as phosphoproteins with approximately half of these having the features of CK2 targets. A large number of the identified proteins ( approximately 40%) either are nuclear or shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm, and the biggest functional classes of CK2beta interactors are committed to protein synthesis and degradation (32 proteins) and RNA/DNA interaction (20 proteins). Also well represented are the categories of cytoskeletal/structural proteins (19), trafficking proteins (17), and signaling proteins (14). The identified proteins are examined in relation to their functions and potential as targets and/or regulators of CK2, disclosing in some cases unanticipated links between this kinase and a variety of biochemical events.

- Radiation exposure of the thorax is associated with a markedly increased risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality with a latency period of decades. Although many studies have confirmed the damaging effect of ionizing radiation on the myocardium and cardiac endothelial structure and function, the molecular mechanism behind this damage is not yet elucidated. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha), a transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism in heart tissue, has recently received great attention in the development of cardiovascular disease. The goal of this study was to investigate radiation-induced cardiac damage in general and the role of PPAR alpha in this process in particular. C57BL/6 mice received local heart irradiation with X-ray doses of 8 and 16 gray (Gy) at the age of 8 weeks. The mice were sacrificed 16 weeks later. Radiation-induced changes in the cardiac proteome were quantified using the Isotope Coded Protein Label (ICPL) method followed by mass spectrometry and software analysis. Significant alterations were observed in proteins involved in lipid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. Ionizing radiation markedly changed the phosphorylation and ubiquitination status of PPAR alpha. This was reflected as decreased expression of its target genes involved in energy metabolism and mitochondrial respiratory chain confirming the proteomics data. This study suggests that persistent alteration of cardiac metabolism due to impaired PPAR alpha activity contributes to the heart pathology after radiation.

- Tens of thousands of people are being exposed daily toenvironmental low-dose gamma radiation. Epidemiological data indicate thatsuch low radiation doses may negatively affect liver function and result in thedevelopment of liver disease. However, the biological mechanisms behindthese adverse effects are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigateradiation-induced damage in the liver after low radiation doses. Neonatal maleNMRI mice were exposed to total body irradiation on postnatal day 10 usingacute single doses ranging from 0.02 to 1.0 Gy. Early (1 day) and late (7months) changes in the liver proteome were tracked using isotope-codedprotein label technology and quantitative mass spectrometry. Our dataindicate that low and moderate radiation doses induce an immediateinhibition of the glycolysis pathway and pyruvate dehydrogenase availability inthe liver. Furthermore, they lead to significant long-term alterations in lipidmetabolism and increased liver inflammation accompanying inactivation of thetranscription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha. This study contributes to the understanding of the potentialrisk of liver damage in populations environmentally exposed to ionizing radiation.

- Ovarian cancer is usually found at a late stage when the prognosis is often bad. Relative survival rates decrease with tumor stage or grade, and the 5-year survival rate for women with carcinoma is only 38%. Thus, there is a great need to find biomarkers that can be used to carry out routine screening, especially in high-risk patient groups. Here, we present a large-scale study of 64 tissue samples taken from patients at all stages and show that we can identify statistically valid markers using nonsupervised methods that distinguish between normal, benign, borderline, and malignant tissue. We have identified 217 of the significantly changing protein spots. We are expressing and raising antibodies to 35 of these. Currently, we have validated 5 of these antibodies for use in immunohistochemical analysis using tissue microarrays of healthy and diseased ovarian, as well as other, human tissues.

Membrane protein identification: N-terminal labeling of nontryptic membrane protein peptides facilitates database searching
- 2008

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Membrane proteins are fairly refractory to digestion especially by trypsin, and less specific proteases, such as elastase and pepsin, are much more effective. However, database searching using nontryptic peptides is much less effective because of the lack of charge localization at the N and C termini and the absence of sequence specificity. We describe a method for N-terminal-specific labeling of peptides from nontryptic digestions of membrane proteins, which facilitates Mascot database searching and can be used for relative quantitation. The conditions for digestion have been optimized to obtain peptides of a suitable length for mass spectrometry (MS) fragmentation. We show the effectiveness of the method using a plasma membrane preparation from a leukemia cell line and demonstrate a large increase in the number of membrane proteins, with small extra-membranar domains being identified in comparison to previous published methods.
