Proteomics

7.9K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
    • Neuroscience
    • Proteomics

    Background:

    • Proteins exist as diverse proteoforms due to genetic variation, alternative splicing, and post-translational modifications.
    • Current single-molecule protein analysis methods lack the resolution to capture this complexity.
    • Understanding tau proteoform diversity is crucial for neurodegenerative disease research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce Iterative Mapping of Proteoforms (IMaP), a novel method for high-throughput single-molecule proteoform analysis.
    • To characterize tau proteoform group profiles, including phosphorylation patterns, in neuronal and disease samples.
    • To provide insights into protein regulation and disease mechanisms at the single-molecule level.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed Iterative Mapping of Proteoforms (IMaP) for massively-parallel interrogation of single-protein molecules.
    • Utilized iterative probing with 12 site-specific, fluorescently labeled antibodies against tau protein variants and phosphorylation sites.
    • Applied IMaP to neuronal models, human samples, and Alzheimer's disease patient samples.

    Main Results:

    • IMaP can measure 4,096 potential proteoform groups with high sensitivity (0.1% abundance), reproducibility (CV <5.5%), and dynamic range (>3 orders of magnitude).
    • Identified 130 distinct tau proteoform groups, including up to six phosphorylation events, in biological samples.
    • Observed non-random, site-specific phosphorylation patterns and preferential co-occurrence of certain phosphorylation events (e.g., pT217 with pT181).
    • Detected a specific multi-phosphorylation pattern in Alzheimer's disease samples suggesting a sequential pathological tau modification pathway.

    Conclusions:

    • Iterative Mapping of Proteoforms (IMaP) enables unprecedented resolution of single-molecule proteoform complexity.
    • The findings reveal ordered phosphorylation processes in tau protein, relevant to neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis.
    • IMaP has significant implications for understanding protein regulation and developing diagnostics for neurodegenerative diseases.
