Tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics capitalizes on the sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency of this classic technique in order to investigate the protein content of specific sub-cellular regions. In this work we apply tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to the analysis of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs). MAMs are a point of communication between the ER and the mitochondria that facilitate Ca2+ trafficking, protein folding, and energy metabolism. They have been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis and more recently neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s. The involvement of the MAM in these diseases has yet to be determined, largely because proteins localized to the MAM have yet to be elucidated. We address this gap in knowledge with our tandem mass spectrometry-based global characterization of MAMs from mouse brain tissue. We employ a gel-based LC/LC- MS/MS method that allows for the analysis of hydrophobic membrane proteins. Our analysis reveals 1,212 unique proteins in the MAM that are involved in cell signaling, small molecule trafficking, and protein processing. Bio-informatic analysis of our identified MAM proteins supports postulates that the MAM may play a role in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and dyskinesia. Our data also suggests that lipid rafts within the MAM are involved in signaling and transport within the region, and may play a role in the MAM’s relationship to neurodegenerative disease. The completion of this work provides a much-anticipated catalog of proteins at the MAM, which can be used for targeted studies to elucidate pathways and novel therapeutic targets in the region. vi Preface and Acknowledgements In 1676, Sir Isaac Newton wrote “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”. I, too, contend that I would not have completed this work without the giants in my life who have continuously supported my academic endeavors. I am most grateful to Carthene R. Bazemore-Walker for being a teacher, a mentor, a motivator, and a role model throughout this process. I also wish to acknowledge the members of the Bazemore-Walker group for fostering a collegial and collaborative research environment every single day. I am also appreciative of Professors Sarah Delaney and J. William Suggs for taking time away from their busy schedules to serve as my committee members. Throughout this program, I have been fortunate enough to have the steadfast and unwavering support of my friends and family. They have been the voices of inspiration and positivity that keep me focused. It is my hope that I can one day be a giant that holds up the next generation of scientists, and I dedicate this work to that next generation. vii Table of Contents CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics .................................................................................................. 2 1.1.1 Electrospray Ionization ................................................................................................................... 3 1.1.2 Tandem Mass Spectrometry .......................................................................................................... 4 1.1.3 Computing and Data Processing ..................................................................................................... 5 1.2 Relevant Tandem Mass Spectrometers .................................................................................................. 6 1.2.1 QSTAR Elite .................................................................................................................................. 6 1.2.2 Triple TOF 5600 ............................................................................................................................. 7 1.2.3 Orbitrap Velos ................................................................................................................................ 8 1.3 Mitochondria – Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes ....................................................... 10 1.3.1 Calcium Trafficking at the MAM ................................................................................................. 11 1.3.2 Structural Linkage Between ER and Mitochondria ...................................................................... 12 1.4 Research Contribution ......................................................................................................................... 13 1.5 Figures ................................................................................................................................................. 14 Figure 1.1: Bottom-up Proteomic Workflow........................................................................................ 14 Figure 1.2: PEPTIDE IDENTIFICATION FROM MASS SPECTRA. ............................................................... 15 Figure 1.3.A: General Schematic of a Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Tandem Mass Spectrometer ........ 16 Figure 1.3.B: General Schematic of an Orbitrap Velos Mass Spectrometer ........................................ 16 Figure 1.4: WIDELY ACCEPTED PROTEINS AND FUNCTIONS IN THE MAM ........................................... 17 1.6 References ........................................................................................................................................... 18 CHAPTER 2: COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF MITOCHONDRIA-ASSOCIATED ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM MEMBRANES FROM BRAIN TISSUE ......................................................................................... 22 2.1 Introduction ......................................................................................................................................... 23 2.2 Experimental Procedures ..................................................................................................................... 25 2.2.1 Materials ....................................................................................................................................... 25 2.2.2 MAM Isolation for Mouse Brains ...............................................................................................

Abstract: Prothymosin alpha (ProTα) and S100A13 are released from C6 glioma cells under serum- free conditions via membrane tethering mediated by Ca2+-dependent interactions between S100A13 and p40 synaptotagmin-1 (Syt-1), which is further associated with plasma membrane syntaxin-1 (Stx-1). The present study revealed that S100A13 interacted with annexin A2 (ANXA2) and this interaction was enhanced by Ca2+ and p40 Syt-1. Amlexanox (Amx) inhibited the association between S100A13 and ANXA2 in C6 glioma cells cultured under serum-free conditions in the in situ proximity ligation assay. In the absence of Amx, however, the serum-free stress results in a flop-out of ANXA2 Citation: Matsunaga, H.; Halder, through the membrane, without the extracellular release. The intracellular delivery of anti-ANXA2 S.K.; Ueda, H. Annexin A2 Flop-Out antibody blocked the serum-free stress-induced cellular loss of ProTα, S100A13, and Syt-1.

Here, using invasive breast cancer cells we show that the Ca2+ - and phospholipid-binding protein annexin A7 is part of the plasma membrane repair response by enabling assembly of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) III. Following injury to the plasma membrane and Ca2+ fux into the cytoplasm, annexin A7 forms a complex with apoptosis linked gene-2 (ALG-2) to facilitate proper recruitment and binding of ALG-2 and ALG-2-interacting protein X (ALIX) to the damaged membrane.

  • A Multi-Omics Interpretable Machine Learning Model Reveals Modes of Action of Small Molecules Natasha L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A Multi-Omics Interpretable Machine Learning Model Reveals Modes of Action of Small Molecules Natasha L. Patel-Murray1, Miriam Adam2, Nhan Huynh2, Brook T. Wassie2, Pamela Milani2 & Ernest Fraenkel 2,3* High-throughput screening and gene signature analyses frequently identify lead therapeutic compounds with unknown modes of action (MoAs), and the resulting uncertainties can lead to the failure of clinical trials. We developed an approach for uncovering MoAs through an interpretable machine learning model of transcriptomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. Examining compounds with benefcial efects in models of Huntington’s Disease, we found common MoAs for compounds with unrelated structures, connectivity scores, and binding targets. The approach also predicted highly divergent MoAs for two FDA-approved antihistamines. We experimentally validated these efects, demonstrating that one antihistamine activates autophagy, while the other targets bioenergetics. The use of multiple omics was essential, as some MoAs were virtually undetectable in specifc assays. Our approach does not require reference compounds or large databases of experimental data in related systems and thus can be applied to the study of agents with uncharacterized MoAs and to rare or understudied diseases. Unknown modes of action of drug candidates can lead to unpredicted consequences on efectiveness and safety. Computational methods, such as the analysis of gene signatures, and high-throughput experimental methods have accelerated the discovery of lead compounds that afect a specifc target or phenotype1–3. However, these advances have not dramatically changed the rate of drug approvals. Between 2000 and 2015, 86% of drug can- didates failed to earn FDA approval, with toxicity or a lack of efcacy being common reasons for their clinical trial termination4,5.

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jcs.076208 Summary Remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in particle internalisation and the phagosome maturation processes. Actin- binding proteins (ABPs) are the main players in actin remodelling but the precise role of these proteins in phagocytosis needs to be clarified. Annexins, a group of ABPs, are known to be present on phagosomes. Here, we identified annexin A1 as a factor that binds to isolated latex bead phagosomes (LBPs) in the presence of Ca2+ and facilitates the F-actin–LBP interaction in vitro. In macrophages the association of endogenous annexin A1 with LBP membranes was strongly correlated with the spatial and temporal accumulation of F-actin at the LBP. Annexin A1 was found on phagocytic cups and around early phagosomes, where the F-actin was prominently concentrated. After uptake was completed, annexin A1, along with F-actin, dissociated from the nascent LBP surface. At later stages of phagocytosis annexin A1 transiently concentrated only around those LBPs that showed transient F-actin accumulation (‘actin flashing’).
