Strikingly, there are now more than 83,995 citations featuring ‘proteomics’, many of which have arisen in the past 5-10 years. However, in stark contrast to most fields of research, in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), proteomics remains an under-utilised research tool with only 202 citations featuring ‘COPD proteomics’ recorded to date (<0.25% of all papers). This is in spite of the severity of the disease with COPD listed as the third leading cause of death worldwide. In this thesis, we have sought to address this fundamental knowledge gap by undertaking a highly comprehensive, comparative and quantitative time resolved analysis of both the proteome and phosphoproteome of lung tissue using our well-characterised mouse model of cigarette smoke-induced COPD. Moreover, we have developed critical platforms for the analysis of endobronchial biopsies from patients through the analysis of samples from clinical cohorts encompassing healthy controls, healthy smokers, mild COPD and severe COPD patients. Key highlights from this body of work include the quantification of 7,324 proteins and 27,857 unique phoshopeptides across a 12-week time course of COPD progression

Abstract Electrophilic peptides that form an irreversible covalent bond with their target have great potential for binding targets that have been previously considered undruggable. However, the discovery of such peptides remains a challenge. Here, we present CovPepDock, a computational pipeline for peptide docking that incorporates covalent binding between the peptide and a receptor cysteine. We applied CovPepDock retrospectively to a dataset of 115 disulfide-bound peptides and a dataset of 54 electrophilic peptides, for which it produced a top-five scoring, near-native model, in 89% and 100% of the cases, respectively.

  • 1 Design and Production of Specifically and with High Affinity
    1 Design and Production of Specifically and with High Affinity Reacting Peptides (SHARP®-s) by Jan C Biro HOMULUS FOUNDATION, 612 S. Flower Str., #1220, 90017 CA, USA [email protected] www.janbiro.com 2 Abstract Background A partially random target selection method was developed to design and produce affinity reagents (target) to any protein query. It is based on the recent concept of Proteomic Code (for review see Biro, 2007 [1]) which suggests that significant number of amino acids in specifically interacting proteins are coded by partially complementary codons. It means that the 1st and 3rd residues of codons coding many co-locating amino acids are complementary but the 2nd may but not necessarily complementary: like 5’-AXG-3’/3’-CXT-5’ codon pair, where X is any nucleotide. Results A mixture of 45 residue long, reverse, partially complementary oligonucleotide sequences (target pool) were synthesized to selected epitopes of query mRNA sequences. The 2nd codon residues were randomized. The target oligonucleotide pool was inserted into vectors, expressed and the protein products were screened for affinity to the query in Bacterial Two-Hybrid System. The best clones were used for larger-scale protein syntheses and characterization. It was possible to design and produce specific and with high affinity reacting (Kd: ~100 nM) oligopeptide reagents to GAL4 query oligopeptides. Conclusions Second codon residue randomization is a promising method to design and produce affinity peptides to any protein sequences. The method has the potential to be a rapid, inexpensive, high throughput, non-immunoglobulin based alternative to recent in vivo antibody generating procedures.

Abstract O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) glycosylates a diverse range of intracellular proteins with O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), an essential and dynamic post-translational modification in metazoa. Although this enzyme modifies hundreds of proteins with O-GlcNAc, it is not understood how OGT achieves substrate specificity. In this study, we describe the application of a high-throughput OGT assay on a library of peptides. The sites of O-GlcNAc modification were mapped by ETD-mass spectrometry, and found to correlate with previously detected O-GlcNAc sites. Crystal structures of four acceptor peptides in complex with human OGT suggest that a combination of size and conformational restriction defines sequence specificity in the −3 to +2 Europe PMC Funders Author Manuscripts subsites. This work reveals that while the N-terminal TPR repeats of hOGT may play a role in substrate recognition, the sequence restriction imposed by the peptide-binding site makes a significant contribution to O-GlcNAc site specificity.

MHC molecules are cell surface protein complexes loaded with short peptides and recognized by the T-cell receptors (TCR). Peptides associated with MHC are named immunopeptidome. The MHC I immunopeptidome is produced by the proteasome degradation of intracellular proteins. The knowledge of the immunopeptidome repertoire facilitates the creation of personalized antitumor or antiviral vaccines. A huge number of publications on the immunopeptidome diversity of different human and mouse biological samples—plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and solid tissues, including tumors—appeared in the scientific journals in the last decade.

Received: 4 February 2018; Accepted: 24 February 2018; Published: 27 February 2018 Abstract: The stress-induced 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) functions as a molecular chaperone to maintain protein homeostasis. Hsp70 contains an N-terminal ATPase domain (NBD) and a C-terminal substrate-binding domain (SBD). The SBD is divided into the β subdomain containing the substrate-binding site (βSBD) and the α-helical subdomain (αLid) that covers the βSBD. In this report, the solution structures of two different forms of the SBD from human Hsp70 were solved. One structure shows the αLid bound to the substrate-binding site intramolecularly, whereas this intramolecular binding mode is absent in the other structure solved. Structural comparison of the two SBDs from Hsp70 revealed that client-peptide binding rearranges residues at the interdomain contact site, which impairs interdomain contact between the SBD and the NBD.
