RESUMEN
In the endomembrane system, multivesicular bodies (MVBs) play a crucial role in sorting ubiquitinated membrane proteins into intraluminal vesicles for degradation upon fusion with vacuoles or lysosomes. This process involves regulations by multiprotein complexes, including endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) I-III, and accessory proteins. Although many organellar proteomes have been identified in plant cells, the information of specific proteomes associated with regulators engaged in MVB biogenesis remains limited. Here, using the ESCRT component FREE1 as an example, we describe a method to identify neighboring proteins of endosomal regulators by using an approach of TurboID-based proximity labeling.

Sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) is an autophagy receptor that mediates degradation of intracellular cargo, including protein aggregates, through multiple protein interactions. These interactions form the SQSTM1 protein network, and these interactions are mediated by SQSTM1 functional interaction domains, which include LIR, PB1, UBA and KIR. Technological advances in cell biology continue to expand our knowledge of the SQSTM1 protein network and of the relationship of the actions of the SQSTM1 protein network in cellular physiology and disease states. Here we apply proximity profile labeling to investigate the SQSTM1 protein interaction network by fusing TurboID with the human protein SQSTM1 (TurboID::SQSTM1). This chimeric protein displayed well-established SQSTM1 features including production of SQSTM1 intracellular bodies, binding to known SQSTM1 interacting partners, and capture of novel SQSTM1 protein interactors. Strikingly, aggregated tau protein altered the protein interaction network of SQSTM1 to include many stress-associated proteins. We demonstrate the importance of the PB1 and/or UBA domains for binding network members, including the K18 domain of tau. Overall, our work reveals the dynamic landscape of the SQSTM1 protein network and offers a resource to study SQSTM1 function in cellular physiology and disease state.
RESUMEN
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis, persistently infects over 90% of the human adult population and is associated with several human cancers. To establish life-long infection, EBV tampers with the induction of type I interferon (IFN I)-dependent antiviral immunity in the host. How various EBV genes help orchestrate this crucial strategy is incompletely defined. Here, we reveal a mechanism by which the EBV nuclear antigen 3A (EBNA3A) may inhibit IFNß induction. Using proximity biotinylation we identify the histone acetyltransferase P300, a member of the IFNß transcriptional complex, as a binding partner of EBNA3A. We further show that EBNA3A also interacts with the activated IFN-inducing transcription factor IRF3 that collaborates with P300 in the nucleus. Both events are mediated by the N-terminal domain of EBNA3A. We propose that EBNA3A limits binding of IRF3 to the IFNß promoter, thereby hampering downstream IFN I signaling. Collectively, our findings suggest a new mechanism of immune evasion by EBV, affected by its latency gene EBNA3A.
RESUMEN
High-throughput assays that efficiently link genotype and phenotype with high fidelity are key to successful enzyme engineering campaigns. Among these assays, the tyramide/peroxidase proximity labeling method converts the product of an enzymatic reaction of a surface expressed enzyme to a highly reactive fluorescent radical, which labels the cell surface. In this context, maintaining the proximity of the readout reagents to the cell surface is crucial to prevent crosstalk and ensure that short-lived radical species react before diffusing away. Here, we investigated improvements in tyramide/peroxidase proximity labeling for enzyme screening. We modified chitosan (Cs) chains with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and evaluated the effects of these conjugates on the efficiency of proximity labeling reactions on yeast cells displaying d-amino acid oxidase. By tethering HRP to chitosan through different chemical approaches, we localized the auxiliary enzyme close to the cell surface and enhanced the sensitivity of tyramide-peroxidase labeling reactions. We found that immobilizing HRP onto chitosan through a 5 kDa PEG linker improved labeling sensitivity by over 3.5-fold for substrates processed with a low turnover rate (e.g., d-lysine), while the sensitivity of the labeling for high activity substrates (e.g., d-alanine) was enhanced by over 0.6-fold. Such improvements in labeling efficiency broaden the range of enzymes and conditions that can be studied and screened by tyramide/peroxidase proximity labeling.
RESUMEN
The heterogeneity of protein-rich inclusions and its significance in neurodegeneration is poorly understood. Standard patient-derived iPSC models develop inclusions neither reproducibly nor in a reasonable time frame. Here, we developed screenable iPSC "inclusionopathy" models utilizing piggyBac or targeted transgenes to rapidly induce CNS cells that express aggregation-prone proteins at brain-like levels. Inclusions and their effects on cell survival were trackable at single-inclusion resolution. Exemplar cortical neuron α-synuclein inclusionopathy models were engineered through transgenic expression of α-synuclein mutant forms or exogenous seeding with fibrils. We identified multiple inclusion classes, including neuroprotective p62-positive inclusions versus dynamic and neurotoxic lipid-rich inclusions, both identified in patient brains. Fusion events between these inclusion subtypes altered neuronal survival. Proteome-scale α-synuclein genetic- and physical-interaction screens pinpointed candidate RNA-processing and actin-cytoskeleton-modulator proteins like RhoA whose sequestration into inclusions could enhance toxicity. These tractable CNS models should prove useful in functional genomic analysis and drug development for proteinopathies.
RESUMEN
Proteins serve as the primary executors of cellular activities in organisms, and thus investigating the subcellular localization and interactions of proteins is crucial for understanding protein functions and elucidating the molecular mechanisms in organisms. Proximity labeling is a recently developed effective method for detecting protein-protein interactions in live cells. Compared with the conventional methods for studying protein-protein interactions, proximity labeling demonstrates high sensitivity, strong specificity, and low background and is widely employed in the research of protein-protein interactions between pathogens and hosts. This article reviews the recent progress in the development and applications of the biotin ligase BirA and its mutants and elucidates the functioning principles of several classical biotin ligases. This review aims to clarify the role of proximity labeling based on BirA and its mutants in identifying protein-protein interactions between pathogens and hosts.

Ceramides generated by the activity of the neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) play a pivotal role in stress responses in mammalian cells. Dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism has been implicated in numerous inflammation-related pathologies. However, its influence on inflammatory cytokine-induced signaling is yet incompletely understood. Here, we used proximity labeling to explore the plasma membrane proximal protein network of nSMase2 and TNFα-induced changes thereof. We established Jurkat cells stably expressing nSMase2 C-terminally fused to the engineered ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2). Removal of excess biotin phenol substantially improved streptavidin-based affinity purification of biotinylated proteins. Using our optimized protocol, we determined nSMase2-proximal biotinylated proteins and their changes within the first 5 min of TNFα stimulation by quantitative mass spectrometry. We observed significant dynamic changes in the nSMase2 microenvironment in response to TNFα stimulation consistent with rapid remodeling of protein networks. Our data confirmed known nSMase2 interactors and revealed that the recruitment of most proteins depended on nSMase2 enzymatic activity. We measured significant enrichment of proteins related to vesicle-mediated transport, including proteins of recycling endosomes, trans-Golgi network, and exocytic vesicles in the proximitome of enzymatically active nSMase2 within the first minutes of TNFα stimulation. Hence, the nSMase2 proximal network and its TNFα-induced changes provide a valuable resource for further investigations into the involvement of nSMase2 in the early signaling pathways triggered by TNFα.

SGT1 is a highly conserved eukaryotic protein that plays a vital role in the growth, development, and immunity in both animals and plants. Although some SGT1 interactors have been identified, the molecular regulatory network of SGT1 remains unclear. SGT1 serves as a co-chaperone to stabilize protein complexes such as the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) class of immune receptors, thereby positively regulating plant immunity. SGT1 has also been found to be associated with the SKP1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. However, whether SGT1 targets immune repressors to coordinate plant immune activation remains elusive. Here, we constructed a toolbox for TurboID- and split-TurboID-based proximity labeling (PL) assays in Nicotiana benthamiana. We used the PL toolbox to explore the SGT1 interactome during pre- and post-immune activation. The comprehensive SGT1 interactome network that we identified highlights a dynamic shift from proteins associated with plant development to those linked with plant immune responses. SGT1 interacts with Necrotic Spotted Lesion 1 (NSL1) that negatively regulates salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defense by interfering with the nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of Non-expressor of Pathogenesis-Related Genes 1 (NPR1) during N NLR-mediated response to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). SGT1 promotes the SCF-dependent degradation of NSL1 to facilitate immune activation, while salicylate-induced protein kinase (SIPK)-mediated phosphorylation of SGT1 further potentiates this process. Besides N NLR, NSL1 also functions in several other NLR-mediated immunity. Our study unveils the regulatory landscape of SGT1 and reveals a novel SGT1-NSL1 signaling module that orchestrates plant innate immunity.
RESUMEN
Protein-protein interactions play an important biological role in every aspect of cellular homeostasis and functioning. Proximity labeling mass spectrometry-based proteomics overcomes challenges typically associated with other methods and has quickly become the current state of the art in the field. Nevertheless, tight control of proximity-labeling enzymatic activity and expression levels is crucial to accurately identify protein interactors. Here, we leverage a T2A self-cleaving peptide and a non-cleaving mutant to accommodate the protein of interest in the experimental and control TurboID setup. To allow easy and streamlined plasmid assembly, we built a Golden Gate modular cloning system to generate plasmids for transient expression and stable integration. To highlight our T2A Split/link design, we applied it to identify protein interactions of the glucocorticoid receptor and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid and non-structural protein 7 (NSP7) proteins by TurboID proximity labeling. Our results demonstrate that our T2A split/link provides an opportune control that builds upon previously established control requirements in the field.

Proximity labeling (PL) via biotinylation coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) captures spatial proteomes in cells. Large-scale processing requires a workflow minimizing hands-on time and enhancing quantitative reproducibility. We introduced a scalable PL pipeline integrating automated enrichment of biotinylated proteins in a 96-well plate format. Combining this with optimized quantitative MS based on data-independent acquisition (DIA), we increased sample throughput and improved protein identification and quantification reproducibility. We applied this pipeline to delineate subcellular proteomes across various compartments. Using the 5HT2A serotonin receptor as a model, we studied temporal changes of proximal interaction networks induced by receptor activation. In addition, we modified the pipeline for reduced sample input to accommodate CRISPR-based gene knockout, assessing dynamics of the 5HT2A network in response to perturbation of selected interactors. This PL approach is universally applicable to PL proteomics using biotinylation-based PL enzymes, enhancing throughput and reproducibility of standard protocols.

Largely due to its simplicity, while being more like human cells compared to other experimental models, Dictyostelium continues to be of great use to discover basic molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying evolutionarily conserved biological processes. However, the identification of new protein interactions implicated in signaling pathways can be particularly challenging in Dictyostelium due to its extremely fast signaling kinetics coupled with the dynamic nature of signaling protein interactions. Recently, the proximity labeling method using engineered ascorbic acid peroxidase 2 (APEX2) in mammalian cells was shown to allow the detection of weak and/or transient protein interactions and also to obtain spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we describe a protocol for successfully using the APEX2-proximity labeling method in Dictyostelium. Coupled with the identification of the labeled proteins by mass spectrometry, this method expands Dictyostelium's proteomics toolbox and should be widely useful for identifying interacting partners involved in a variety of biological processes in Dictyostelium.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are hepta-helical transmembrane proteins that mediate various intracellular signaling events in response to their specific ligands including many lipid mediators. Although analyses of GPCR molecular interactions are pivotal to understanding diverse intracellular signaling events, affinity purification of interacting proteins by a conventional co-immunoprecipitation method is challenging due to the hydrophobic nature of GPCRs and their dynamic molecular interactions. Proximity labeling catalyzed by a TurboID system is a powerful technique for defining the molecular interactions of target proteins in living cells. TurboID and miniTurbo (a modified version of TurboID) are engineered biotin ligases that biotinylate neighboring proteins in a promiscuous manner. When fused with a target protein and expressed in living cells, TurboID or miniTurbo mediates the biotin labeling of the proteins with close proximity to the target protein, allowing efficient purification of the biotinylated proteins followed by a shot-gun proteomic analysis. In this chapter, we describe a step-by-step protocol for the labeling of GPCR neighboring proteins by TurboID or miniTurbo, purification of the biotin-labeled proteins, and subsequent sample preparation for proteomic analysis. We utilized S1PR1 as a model GPCR, a receptor for a bioactive lipid molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) that plays various roles in physiological and pathological conditions. This analysis pipeline enables the mapping of interacting proteins of lipid GPCRs in living cells.

Virus receptors determine the tissue tropism of viruses and have a certain relationship with the clinical outcomes caused by viral infection, which is of great importance for the identification of virus receptors to understand the infection mechanism of viruses and to develop entry inhibitor. Proximity labeling (PL) is a new technique for studying protein-protein interactions, but it has not yet been applied to the identification of virus receptors or co-receptors. Here, we attempt to identify co-receptor of SARS-CoV-2 by employing TurboID-catalyzed PL. The membrane protein angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) was employed as a bait and conjugated to TurboID, and a A549 cell line with stable expression of ACE2-TurboID was constructed. SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus were incubated with ACE2-TurboID stably expressed cell lines in the presence of biotin and ATP, which could initiate the catalytic activity of TurboID and tag adjacent endogenous proteins with biotin. Subsequently, the biotinylated proteins were harvested and identified by mass spectrometry. We identified a membrane protein, AXL, that has been functionally shown to mediate SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells. Our data suggest that PL could be used to identify co-receptors for virus entry.

Neurotropic alphaherpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus type 1 and pseudorabies virus, establish a lifelong presence within the peripheral nervous system of their mammalian hosts. Upon entering cells, two conserved tegument proteins, pUL36 and pUL37, traffic DNA-containing capsids to nuclei. These proteins support long-distance retrograde axonal transport and invasion of the nervous system in vivo. To better understand how pUL36 and pUL37 function, recombinant viral particles carrying BioID2 fused to these proteins were produced to biotinylate cellular proteins in their proximity (<10 nm) during infection. Eighty-six high-confidence host proteins were identified by mass spectrometry and subsequently targeted by CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to assess their contributions to early infection. Proteins were identified that both supported and antagonized infection in immortalized human epithelial cells. The latter included zyxin, a protein that localizes to focal adhesions and regulates actin cytoskeletal dynamics. Zyxin knockout cells were hyper-permissive to infection and could be rescued with even modest expression of GFP-zyxin. These results provide a resource for studies of the virus-cell interface and identify zyxin as a novel deterrent to alphaherpesvirus infection.IMPORTANCENeuroinvasive alphaherpesviruses are highly prevalent with many members found across mammals [e.g., herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in humans and pseudorabies virus in pigs]. HSV-1 causes a range of clinical manifestations from cold sores to blindness and encephalitis. There are no vaccines or curative therapies available for HSV-1. A fundamental feature of these viruses is their establishment of lifelong infection of the nervous system in their respective hosts. This outcome is possible due to a potent neuroinvasive property that is coordinated by two proteins: pUL36 and pUL37. In this study, we explore the cellular protein network in proximity to pUL36 and pUL37 during infection and examine the impact of knocking down the expression of these proteins upon infection.

Autophagosome biogenesis is a complex process orchestrated by dynamic interactions between Atg (autophagy-related) proteins and characterized by the turnover of specific cargoes, which can differ over time and depending on how autophagy is stimulated. Proteomic analyses are central to uncover protein-protein interaction networks and when combined with proximity-dependent biotinylation or proximity labeling (PL) approaches, they also permit to detect transient and weak interactions. However, current PL procedures for yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one of the leading models for the study of autophagy, do not allow to keep temporal specificity and thus identify interactions and cargoes at a precise time point upon autophagy induction. Here, we present a new ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2)-based PL protocol adapted to yeast that preserves temporal specificity and allows uncovering neighbor proteins by either western blot or proteomics. As a proof of concept, we applied this new method to identify Atg8 and Atg9 interactors and detected known binding partners as well as potential uncharacterized ones in rich and nitrogen starvation conditions. Also, as a proof of concept, we confirmed the spatial proximity interaction between Atg8 and Faa1. We believe that this protocol will be a new important experimental tool for all those researchers studying the mechanism and roles of autophagy in yeast, but also other cellular pathways in this model organism.Abbreviations: APEX2, ascorbate peroxidase 2, Atg, autophagy-related; BP, biotin phenol; Cvt, cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; LN2, liquid nitrogen; MS, mass spectrometry; PAS, phagophore assembly site; PL, proximity labeling; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PPINs, protein-protein interaction networks; PPIs, protein-protein interactions; RT, room temperature; SARs, selective autophagy receptors; WT, wild-type.
RESUMEN
Microglia are resident immune cells of the brain and regulate its inflammatory state. In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia transition from a homeostatic state to a state referred to as disease-associated microglia (DAM). DAM express higher levels of proinflammatory signaling molecules, like STAT1 and TLR2, and show transitions in mitochondrial activity toward a more glycolytic response. Inhibition of Kv1.3 decreases the proinflammatory signature of DAM, though how Kv1.3 influences the response is unknown. Our goal was to identify the potential proteins interacting with Kv1.3 during transition to DAM. We utilized TurboID, a biotin ligase, fused to Kv1.3 to evaluate potential interacting proteins with Kv1.3 via mass spectrometry in BV-2 microglia following TLR4-mediated activation. Electrophysiology, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to evaluate Kv1.3 channel presence and TurboID biotinylation activity. We hypothesized that Kv1.3 contains domain-specific interactors that vary during a TLR4-induced inflammatory response, some of which are dependent on the PDZ-binding domain on the C terminus. We determined that the N terminus of Kv1.3 is responsible for trafficking Kv1.3 to the cell surface and mitochondria (e.g., NUDC, TIMM50). Whereas, the C terminus interacts with immune signaling proteins in a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response (e.g., STAT1, TLR2, and C3). There are 70 proteins that rely on the C-terminal PDZ-binding domain to interact with Kv1.3 (e.g., ND3, Snx3, and Sun1). Furthermore, we used Kv1.3 blockade to verify functional coupling between Kv1.3 and interferon-mediated STAT1 activation. Overall, we highlight that the Kv1.3 potassium channel functions beyond conducting the outward flux of potassium ions in an inflammatory context and that Kv1.3 modulates the activity of key immune signaling proteins, such as STAT1 and C3.
RESUMEN
The B cell receptor (BCR) signals together with a multi-component co-receptor complex to initiate B cell activation in response to antigen binding. Here, we take advantage of peroxidase-catalyzed proximity labeling combined with quantitative mass spectrometry to track co-receptor signaling dynamics in Raji cells from 10 s to 2 h after BCR stimulation. This approach enables tracking of 2,814 proximity-labeled proteins and 1,394 phosphosites and provides an unbiased and quantitative molecular map of proteins recruited to the vicinity of CD19, the signaling subunit of the co-receptor complex. We detail the recruitment kinetics of signaling effectors to CD19 and identify previously uncharacterized mediators of B cell activation. We show that the glutamate transporter SLC1A1 is responsible for mediating rapid metabolic reprogramming and for maintaining redox homeostasis during B cell activation. This study provides a comprehensive map of BCR signaling and a rich resource for uncovering the complex signaling networks that regulate activation.

Cdk5 is a highly-conserved, noncanonical cell division kinase important to the terminal differentiation of mammalian cells in multiple organ systems. We previously identified Pef1, the Schizosaccharomyces pombe ortholog of cdk5, as regulator of chronological lifespan. To reveal the processes impacted by Pef1, we developed APEX2-biotin phenol-mediated proximity labeling in S. pombe. Efficient labeling required a short period of cell wall digestion and eliminating glucose and nitrogen sources from the medium. We identified 255 high-confidence Pef1 neighbors in growing cells and a novel Pef1-interacting partner, the DNA damage response protein Rad24. The Pef1-Rad24 interaction was validated by reciprocal proximity labeling and co-immunoprecipitation. Eliminating Pef1 partially rescued the DNA damage sensitivity of cells lacking Rad24. To monitor how Pef1 neighbors change under different conditions, cells induced for autophagy were labeled and 177 high-confidence Pef1 neighbors were identified. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the Pef1 neighbors identified proteins participating in processes required for autophagosome expansion including regulation of actin dynamics and vesicle-mediated transport. Some of these proteins were identified in both exponentially growing and autophagic cells. Pef1-APEX2 proximity labeling therefore identified a new Pef1 function in modulating the DNA damage response and candidate processes that Pef1 and other cdk5 orthologs may regulate.
RESUMEN
Single-cell-type proteomics is an emerging field of research that combines cell-type specificity with the comprehensive proteome coverage offered by bulk proteomics. However, the extraction of single-cell-type proteomes remains a challenge, particularly for hard-to-isolate cells like neurons. In this chapter, we present an innovative technique for profiling single-cell-type proteomes using adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated proximity labeling (PL) and tandem-mass-tag (TMT) mass spectrometry. This technique eliminates the need for cell isolation and offers a streamlined workflow, including AAV delivery to express TurboID (an engineered biotin ligase) controlled by cell-type-specific promoters, biotinylated protein purification, on-bead digestion, TMT labeling, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We examined this method by analyzing distinct brain cell types in mice. Initially, recombinant AAVs were used to concurrently express TurboID and mCherry proteins driven by neuron- or astrocyte-specific promoters, which was validated through co-immunostaining with cellular markers. With biotin purification and TMT analysis, we successfully identified around 10,000 unique proteins from a few micrograms of protein samples with high reproducibility. Our statistical analyses revealed that these proteomes encompass cell-type-specific cellular pathways. By utilizing this technique, researchers can explore the proteomic landscape of specific cell types, paving the way for new insights into cellular processes, deciphering disease mechanisms, and identifying therapeutic targets in neuroscience and beyond.
