    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Studies on the Proteome of Human Hair - Identifcation of Histones and Deamidated Keratins Received: 15 August 2017 Sunil S. Adav 1, Roopa S. Subbaiaih2, Swat Kim Kerk 2, Amelia Yilin Lee 2,3, Hui Ying Lai3,4, Accepted: 12 January 2018 Kee Woei Ng3,4,7, Siu Kwan Sze 1 & Artur Schmidtchen2,5,6 Published: xx xx xxxx Human hair is laminar-fbrous tissue and an evolutionarily old keratinization product of follicle trichocytes. Studies on the hair proteome can give new insights into hair function and lead to the development of novel biomarkers for hair in health and disease. Human hair proteins were extracted by detergent and detergent-free techniques. We adopted a shotgun proteomics approach, which demonstrated a large extractability and variety of hair proteins after detergent extraction. We found an enrichment of keratin, keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), and intermediate flament proteins, which were part of protein networks associated with response to stress, innate immunity, epidermis development, and the hair cycle. Our analysis also revealed a signifcant deamidation of keratin type I and II, and KAPs. The hair shafts were found to contain several types of histones, which are well known to exert antimicrobial activity. Analysis of the hair proteome, particularly its composition, protein abundances, deamidated hair proteins, and modifcation sites, may ofer a novel approach to explore potential biomarkers of hair health quality, hair diseases, and aging. Hair is an important and evolutionarily conserved structure. It originates from hair follicles deep within the der- mis and is mainly composed of hair keratins and KAPs, which form a complex network that contributes to the rigidity and mechanical properties.

  • Identification of Oxidative Stress-Related Proteins for Predictive Screening of Hepatotoxicity Using a Proteomic Approach
    The Journal of Toxicological Sciences, 213 Vol.30, No.3, 213-227, 2005 IDENTIFICATION OF OXIDATIVE STRESS-RELATED PROTEINS FOR PREDICTIVE SCREENING OF HEPATOTOXICITY USING A PROTEOMIC APPROACH Toshinori YAMAMOTO, Rie KIKKAWA, Hiroshi YAMADA and Ikuo HORII Worldwide Safety Sciences, Pfizer Global Research & Development, Nagoya Laboratories, Pfizer Inc., 5-2 Taketoyo, Aichi 470-2393, Japan (Received January 15, 2005; Accepted April 19, 2005) ABSTRACT — We investigated the effects of three hepatotoxicants, acetaminophen (APAP), amio- darone (AD) and tetracycline (TC), on protein expression in primary cultured rat hepatocytes with toxi- coproteomic approach, which is two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry. The objectives of this study were to search for alternative toxicity biomarkers which could be detected with high sensitivity prior to the appearance of morphological changes or alterations of analytical conventional biomarkers. The related proteins in the process of cell degeneration/necrosis such as cell death, lipid metabolism and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism were mainly affected under exposure to APAP, AD and TC, respectively. Among the differentially expressed proteins, several oxidative stress-related proteins were clearly identified after 24-hr exposure, even though they were not affected for 6-hr exposure. They were glutathione peroxidase (GPX) as a down-regulated protein as well as peroxiredoxin 1 (PRX1) and peroxiredoxin 2 (PRX2) as up-regulated proteins, which are known to serve as antioxidative enzymes in cells. These findings suggested that the focused proteins, GPX and PRXs, could be utilized as biomarkers of hepatotoxicity, and they were useful for setting high throughput screening methods to assess hepato- toxicity in the early stage of drug discovery.

  • Lym. Phoid Enhancer Factor 1 Directs Hair Folhcle Patterning and Epithelial
    Lym.phoid enhancer factor 1 directs hair folhcle patterning and epithelial cell fate Pengbo Zhou, Carolyn Byrne, Jennifer Jacobs, and Elaine Fuchs 1 Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 USA T cell-specific transcription factor (TCF-1) and lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (LEF-1) have been implicated exclusively in the regulation of T cell-specific genes. The only adult tissue other than thymus known to express these factors is spleen and lymph node, which contain low levels of LEF-1 and no TCF-1. We noticed that genes involved in hair-specific gene expression possess LEF-I/TCF-1 consensus motifs located in similar positions relative to their TATA box. We show that of the two factors only LEF-1 is expressed in hair follicles; it can be cloned in both splice forms from human skin keratinocytes and it can bind to these sites in the hair promoters. We show that LEF-1 mRNA is present in pluripotent ectoderm, and it is up-regulated in a highly restricted pattern just before the formation of underlying mesenchymal condensates and commitment of overlying ectodermal cells to invaginate and become hair follicles. New waves of ectodermal LEF-1 spots appear concomitant with new waves of follicle morphogenesis. To test whether LEF-1 patterning might be functionally important for hair patterning and morphogenesis, we used transgenic technology to alter the patterning and timing of LEF-1 over the surface ectoderm. Striking abnormalities arose in the positioning and orientation of hair follicles, leaving a marked disruption of this normally uniform patterning.

  • Structural and Functional Analysis of Heparan Sulfate Sulfotransferases
    STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF HEPARAN SULFATE SULFOTRANSFERASES Heather Nicole Bethea A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products) Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Michael Jarstfer, Ph.D. Jian Liu, Ph.D. Lars Pedersen, Ph.D. Scott Singleton, Ph.D. Qisheng Zhang, Ph.D. ABSTRACT HEATHER BETHEA: Structural and Functional Analysis of Heparan Sulfate Sulfotransferases (Under the direction of Jian Liu, Ph.D.) Heparan sulfate (HS), a major polysaccharide component of the vascular system, is involved in regulating a number of functions of the blood vessel wall including blood coagulation, cell differentiation, and the inflammatory response. The wide range of biological functions makes HS an attractive therapeutic target. The long term goal of our research involves utilizing an enzyme-based approach to develop HS-based therapeutics for treating thrombotic diseases, cancer and excessive inflammatory responses. The biosynthesis of HS involves multiple specialized sulfotransferases such as 2-O-sulfotransferase (2OST) and 6-O-sulfotransferase (6OST), which are essential for preparing HS with activities in regulating vascular development and blood coagulation. The substrate specificity of the HS sulfotransferases controls the sulfation patterns of HS, permitting HS to exhibit a specific function, however, limited knowledge regarding the mechanism of these enzymes has hindered our ability to prepare functionally-specific HS. We aim to understand the mechanism of action of these two enzymes in hopes of developing heparin/HS with improved anticoagulant efficacy. In this dissertation, we present successful crystallization of 2OST in complex with 3’- phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphate (PAP).

  • Regeneration of PAPS for the Enzymatic Synthesis of Sulfated Oligosaccharides
    J. Org. Chem. 2000, 65, 5565-5574 5565 Regeneration of PAPS for the Enzymatic Synthesis of Sulfated Oligosaccharides Michael D. Burkart, Masayuki Izumi, Eli Chapman, Chun-Hung Lin,† and Chi-Huey Wong* Department of Chemistry and The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037 [email protected] Received February 24, 2000 This paper describes the study of 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) regeneration from 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphate (PAP) for use in practical syntheses of carbohydrate sulfates which are catalyzed by sulfotransferases. Among the regeneration systems, the one with recombinant aryl sulfotransferase proved to be the most practical. This regeneration system was coupled with a sulfotransferase-catalyzed reaction, using a recombinant Nod factor sulfotransferase, for the synthesis of various oligosaccharide sulfates that were further glycosylated using glycosyl- transferases. Sulfated carbohydrates and glycopeptides have gener- modulation of receptor binding.1,8 Drug design for the ated interest due to their roles in specific cell signaling inhibition of these therapeutically interesting enzymes and recognition events of both normal and disease has quickly followed sulfotransferase discovery and will processes,1 such as chronic inflammation, cancer me- gain increasing importance as we have easy access to this tastasis, cartilage formation, and hormone regulation. class of molecules to study their biological roles more Recent studies
