Abstract
Cyclic peptides are an emerging therapeutic modality over the past few decades. To identify drug candidates with sufficient proteolytic stability for oral administration, it is critical to pinpoint the amide bond hydrolysis sites, or soft spots, to better understand their metabolism and provide guidance on further structure optimization. However, the unambiguous characterization of cyclic peptide soft spots remains a significant challenge during early stage discovery studies, as amide bond hydrolysis forms a linearized isobaric sequence with the addition of a water molecule, regardless of the amide hydrolysis location. In this study, an innovative strategy was developed to enable the rapid and definitive identification of cyclic peptide soft spots by isotope-labeled reductive dimethylation and mass spectrometry fragmentation. The dimethylated immonium ion with enhanced MS signal at a distinctive m/z in MS/MS fragmentation spectra reveals the N-terminal amino acid on a linearized peptide sequence definitively and, thus, significantly simplifies the soft spot identification workflow. This approach has been evaluated to demonstrate the potential of isotope-labeled dimethylation to be a powerful analytical tool in cyclic peptide drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Mapping the ligandability or potential druggability of all proteins in the human proteome is a central goal of mass spectrometry-based covalent chemoproteomics. Achieving this ambitious objective requires high throughput and high coverage sample preparation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis for hundreds to thousands of reactive compounds and chemical probes. Conducting chemoproteomic screens at this scale benefits from technical innovations that achieve increased sample throughput. Here we realize this vision by establishing the silane-based cleavable linkers for isotopically-labeled proteomics-tandem mass tag (sCIP-TMT) proteomic platform, which is distinguished by early sample pooling that increases sample preparation throughput. sCIP-TMT pairs a custom click-compatible sCIP capture reagent that is readily functionalized in high yield with commercially available TMT reagents. Synthesis and benchmarking of a 10-plex set of sCIP-TMT reveal a substantial decrease in sample preparation time together with high coverage and high accuracy quantification. By screening a focused set of four cysteine-reactive electrophiles, we demonstrate the utility of sCIP-TMT for chemoproteomic target hunting, identifying 789 total liganded cysteines. Distinguished by its compatibility with established enrichment and quantification protocols, we expect sCIP-TMT will readily translate to a wide range of covalent chemoproteomic applications.

Abstract
Gut microbiota can regulate host brain functions and influence various physiological and pathological processes through the brain-gut axis. To systematically elucidate the intervention of different gut environments on different brain regions, we implemented an integrated approach that combines 11-plex DiLeu isobaric tags with a "BRIDGE" normalization strategy to comparatively analyze the proteome of six brain regions in germ-free (GF)- and conventionally raised (ConvR)-mice. A total of 5945 proteins were identified and 5656 were quantifiable, while 1906 of them were significantly changed between GF- and ConvR-mice; 281 proteins were filtered with FC greater than 1.2 in at least one brain region, of which heatmap analysis showed clear protein profile disparities, both between brain regions and gut microbiome conditions. Gut microbiome impact is most overt in the hypothalamus and the least in the thalamus region. Collectively, this approach allows an in-depth investigation of the induced protein changes by multiple gut microbiome environments in a brain region-specific manner. This comprehensive proteomic work improves the understanding of the brain region protein association networks impacted by the gut microbiome and highlights the critical roles of the brain-gut axis.

Abstract
Hyperplexing approaches have been aimed to meet the demand for large-scale proteomic analyses. Currently, the analysis capacity has expanded to up to 54 samples within a single experiment by utilizing different isotopic and isobaric reagent combinations. In this report, we propose a super multiplexed approach to enable the analysis of up to 102 samples in a single experiment, by the combination of our recently developed TAG-TMTpro and TAG-IBT16 labeling. We systematically investigated the identification and quantification performance of the 102-plex approach using the mixtures of E. coli and HeLa peptides. Our results revealed that all labeling series demonstrated accurate and reliable quantification performance. The combination of TAG-IBT16 and TAG-TMTpro approaches expands the multiplexing capacity to 102 plexes, providing a more multiplexed quantification method for even larger-scale proteomic analysis. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD042398.

Abstract
Crustaceans serve as a useful, simplified model for studying peptides and neuromodulation, as they contain numerous neuropeptide homologs to mammals and enable electrophysiological studies at the single-cell and neural circuit levels. Crustaceans contain well-defined neural networks, including the stomatogastric ganglion, oesophageal ganglion, commissural ganglia, and several neuropeptide-rich organs such as the brain, pericardial organs, and sinus glands. As existing mass spectrometry (MS) methods are not readily amenable to neuropeptide studies, there is a great need for optimized sample preparation, data acquisition, and data analysis methods. Herein, we present a general workflow and detailed methods for MS-based neuropeptidomic analysis of crustacean tissue samples and circulating fluids. In conjunction with profiling, quantitation can also be performed with isotopic or isobaric labeling. Information regarding the localization patterns and changes of peptides can be studied via mass spectrometry imaging. Combining these sample preparation strategies and MS analytical techniques allows for a multi-faceted approach to obtaining deep knowledge of crustacean peptidergic signaling pathways.

Abstract
Peptidomics is the detection and identification of the peptides present in a sample, and quantitative peptidomics provides additional information about the amounts of these peptides. It is possible to perform absolute quantitation of peptide levels in which the biological sample is compared to synthetic standards of each peptide. More commonly, relative quantitation is performed to compare peptide levels between two or more samples. Relative quantitation can measure differences between all peptides that are detectable, which can exceed 1000 peptides in a complex sample. In this chapter, various techniques used for quantitative peptidomics are described along with discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. A guide to selecting the optimal quantitative approach is provided, based on the goals of the experiment and the resources that are available.

Abstract
Amino acids (AAs) in the d-form are involved in multiple pivotal neurological processes, although their l-enantiomers are most commonly found. Mass spectrometry-based analysis of low-abundance d-AAs has been hindered by challenging enantiomeric separation from l-AAs, low sensitivity for detection, and lack of suitable internal standards for accurate quantification. To address these critical gaps, N,N-dimethyl-l-leucine (l-DiLeu) tags are first validated as novel chiral derivatization reagents for chromatographic separation of 20 pairs of d/l-AAs, allowing the construction of a 4-plex isobaric labeling strategy for enantiomer-resolved quantification through single step tagging. Additionally, the creative design of N,N-dimethyl-d-leucine (d-DiLeu) reagents offers an alternative approach to generate analytically equivalent internal references of d-AAs using d-DiLeu-labeled l-AAs. By labeling cost-effective l-AA standards using paired d- and l-DiLeu, this approach not only enables absolute quantitation of both d-AAs and l-AAs from complex biological matrices with enhanced precision but also significantly boosts the combined signal intensities from all isobaric channels, greatly improving the detection and quantitation of low-abundance AAs, particularly d-AAs. We term this quantitative strategy CHRISTMAS, which stands for chiral pair isobaric labeling strategy for multiplexed absolute quantitation. Leveraging the ion mobility collision cross section (CCS) alignment, interferences from coeluting isomers/isobars are effectively filtered out to provide improved quantitative accuracy. From wild-type and Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse brains, we successfully quantified 20 l-AAs and 5 d-AAs. The significant presence and differential trends of certain d-AAs compared to those of their l-counterparts provide valuable insights into the involvement of d-AAs in aging, AD progression, and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Cellular communication is essential for cell-cell interactions, maintaining homeostasis and progression of certain disease states. While many studies examine extracellular proteins, the holistic extracellular proteome is often left uncaptured, leaving gaps in our understanding of how all extracellular proteins may impact communication and interaction. We used a cellular-based proteomics approach to more holistically profile both the intracellular and extracellular proteome of prostate cancer. Our workflow was generated in such a manner that multiple experimental conditions can be observed with the opportunity for high throughput integration. Additionally, this workflow is not limited to a proteomic aspect, as metabolomic and lipidomic studies can be integrated for a multi-omics workflow. Our analysis showed coverage of over 8000 proteins while also garnering insights into cellular communication in the context of prostate cancer development and progression. Identified proteins covered a variety of cellular processes and pathways, allowing for the investigation of multiple aspects into cellular biology. This workflow demonstrates advantages for integrating intra- and extracellular proteomic analyses as well as potential for multi-omics researchers. This approach possesses great value for future investigations into the systems biology aspects of disease development and progression.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins increase the functional diversity of the proteome and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. The most widely understood modifications include phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, O-linked/N-linked glycosylation, and ubiquitination, all of which have been extensively studied and documented. Citrullination is a historically less explored, yet increasingly studied, protein PTM which has profound effects on protein conformation and protein-protein interactions. Dysregulation of protein citrullination has been associated with disease development and progression. Identification and characterization of citrullinated proteins is highly challenging, complicated by the low cellular abundance of citrullinated proteins, making it difficult to identify and quantify the extent of citrullination in samples, coupled with challenges associated with development of mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods, as the corresponding mass shift is relatively small, +0.984 Da, and identical to the mass shift of deamidation. The focus of this review is to discuss recent advancements of citrullination-specific MS approaches and integration of the potential methodology for improved citrullination identification and characterization. In addition, the association of citrullination in disease networks is also highlighted.

Abstract
High-throughput quantitative analysis of protein conformational changes has a profound impact on our understanding of the pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To establish an effective workflow enabling quantitative analysis of changes in protein conformation within multiple samples simultaneously, here we report the combination of N,N-dimethyl leucine (DiLeu) isobaric tag labeling with limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (DiLeu-LiP-MS) for high-throughput structural protein quantitation in serum samples collected from AD patients and control donors. Twenty-three proteins were discovered to undergo structural changes, mapping to 35 unique conformotypic peptides with significant changes between the AD group and the control group. Seven out of 23 proteins, including CO3, CO9, C4BPA, APOA1, APOA4, C1R, and APOA, exhibited a potential correlation with AD. Moreover, we found that complement proteins (e.g., CO3, CO9, and C4BPA) related to AD exhibited elevated levels in the AD group compared to those in the control group. These results provide evidence that the established DiLeu-LiP-MS method can be used for high-throughput structural protein quantitation, which also showed great potential in achieving large-scale and in-depth quantitative analysis of protein conformational changes in other biological systems.

INTRODUCTION Protein phosphorylation is a critical post-translational modification involved in the regulation of numerous cellular processes from signal transduction to modulation of enzyme activities. Knowledge of dynamic changes of phosphorylation levels during biological processes, under various treatments or between healthy and disease models is fundamental for understanding the role of each phosphorylation event. Thereby, LC-MS/MS based technologies in combination with quantitative proteomics strategies evolved as a powerful strategy to investigate the function of individual protein phosphorylation events. AREAS COVERED State-of-the-art labeling techniques including stable isotope and isobaric labeling provide precise and accurate quantification of phosphorylation events. Here, we review the strengths and limitations of recent quantification methods and provide examples based on current studies, how quantitative phosphoproteomics can be further optimized for enhanced analytic depth, dynamic range, site localization, and data integrity. Specifically, reducing the input material demands is key to a broader implementation of quantitative phosphoproteomics, not least for clinical samples. EXPERT OPINION Despite quantitative phosphoproteomics is one of the most thriving fields in the proteomics world, many challenges still have to be overcome to facilitate even deeper and more comprehensive analyses as required in the current research, especially at single cell levels and in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Mass-spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography is an indispensable tool in the field of proteomics. In the last decades, more and more complex and diverse biochemical and biomedical questions have arisen. Problems to be solved involve protein identification, quantitative analysis, screening of low abundance modifications, handling matrix effect, and concentrations differing by orders of magnitude. This led the development of more tailored protocols and problem centered proteomics workflows, including advanced choice of experimental parameters. In the most widespread bottom-up approach, the choice of collision energy in tandem mass spectrometric experiments has outstanding role. This review presents the collision energy optimization strategies in the field of proteomics which can help fully exploit the potential of MS based proteomics techniques. A systematic collection of use case studies is then presented to serve as a starting point for related further scientific work. Finally, this article discusses the issue of comparing results from different studies or obtained on different instruments, and it gives some hints on methodology transfer between laboratories based on measurement of reference species.

Abstract
Recent developments in mass spectrometry-based single-cell proteomics (SCP) have resulted in dramatically improved sensitivity, yet the relatively low measurement throughput remains a limitation. Isobaric and isotopic labeling methods have been separately applied to SCP to increase throughput through multiplexing. Here we combined both forms of labeling to achieve multiplicative scaling for higher throughput. Two-plex stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling enabled up to 28 single cells to be analyzed in a single liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, in addition to carrier, reference, and negative control channels. A custom nested nanowell chip was used for nanoliter sample processing to minimize sample losses. Using a 145-min total LC-MS cycle time, ∼280 single cells were analyzed per day. This measurement throughput could be increased to ∼700 samples per day with a high-duty-cycle multicolumn LC system producing the same active gradient. The labeling efficiency and achievable proteome coverage were characterized for multiple analysis conditions.

Abstract
A major challenge in reducing the death rate of colorectal cancer is to screen patients using low-invasive testing. A blood test shows a high compliance rate with reduced invasiveness. In this work, a multiplex isobaric tag labeling strategy coupled with mass spectrometry is adopted to relatively quantify primary and secondary amine-containing metabolites in serum for the discovery of metabolite level changes of colorectal cancer. Serum samples from patients at different risk statuses and colorectal cancer growth statuses are studied. Metabolite identification is based on accurate mass matching and/or retention time of labeled metabolite standards. We quantify 40 metabolites across all the serum samples, including 18 metabolites validated with standards. We find significantly decreased levels of threonine and asparagine in the patients with growing adenomas or high-risk adenomas (p < 0.05). Glutamine levels decrease in patients with adenomas of unknown growth status or high-risk adenomas. In contrast, arginine levels are elevated in patients with low-risk adenoma. Receiver operating characteristic analysis shows high sensitivity and specificity of these metabolites for detecting growing adenomas. Based on these results, we conclude that a few metabolites identified here might contribute to distinguishing colorectal patients with growing adenomas from normal individuals and patients with unknown growth status of adenomas.

Abstract
Due to their involvement in numerous biochemical pathways, neuropeptides have been the focus of many recent research studies. Unfortunately, classic analytical methods, such as western blots and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, are extremely limited in terms of global investigations, leading researchers to search for more advanced techniques capable of probing the entire neuropeptidome of an organism. With recent technological advances, mass spectrometry (MS) has provided methodology to gain global knowledge of a neuropeptidome on a spatial, temporal, and quantitative level. This review will cover key considerations for the analysis of neuropeptides by MS, including sample preparation strategies, instrumental advances for identification, structural characterization, and imaging; insightful functional studies; and newly developed absolute and relative quantitation strategies. While many discoveries have been made with MS, the methodology is still in its infancy. Many of the current challenges and areas that need development will also be highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Advancements in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry over the last decades have led to a significant development in mass spectrometry-based proteome quantification approaches. An increasingly attractive strategy is multiplex isotope labeling, which significantly improves the accuracy, precision and throughput of quantitative proteomics in the data-dependent acquisition mode. Isotope labeling-based approaches can be classified into MS1-based and MS2-based quantification. In this review, we give an overview of approaches based on chemical isotope labeling and discuss their principles, benefits, and limitations with the goal to give insights into fundamental questions and provide a useful reference for choosing a method for quantitative proteomics. As a perspective, we discuss the current possibilities and limitations of multiplex, isotope labeling approaches for the data-independent acquisition mode, which is increasing in popularity.

Abstract
Site-specific O-glycoproteome mapping in complex biological systems provides a molecular basis for understanding the structure-function relationships of glycoproteins and their roles in physiological and pathological processes. Previous O-glycoproteome analysis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) focused on sialylated glycoforms, while missing information on other glycosylation types. In order to achieve an unbiased O-glycosylation profile, we developed an integrated strategy combining universal boronic acid enrichment, high-pH fractionation, and electron-transfer and higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) for enhanced intact O-glycopeptide analysis. We applied this strategy to analyze the O-glycoproteome in CSF, resulting in the identification of 308 O-glycopeptides from 110 O-glycoproteins, covering both sialylated and nonsialylated glycoforms. To our knowledge, this is the largest data set of O-glycoproteins and O-glycosites reported for CSF to date. We also developed a peptidomics workflow that utilized the EThcD and a three-step database searching strategy for comprehensive PTM analysis of endogenous peptides, including N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, and other common peptide PTMs. Interestingly, among the 1411 endogenous peptides identified, 89 were O-glycosylated, and only one N-glycosylated peptide was found, indicating that CSF endogenous peptides were predominantly O-glycosylated. Analyses of the O-glycoproteome and endogenous peptidome PTMs were also conducted in the CSF of MCI and AD patients to provide a landscape of glycosylation patterns in different disease states. Our results showed a decreasing trend in fucosylation and an increasing trend of endogenous peptide O-glycosylation, which may play an important role in AD progression.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged at the forefront of quantitative proteomic techniques. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) can be used to determine abundances of proteins and peptides in complex biological samples. Several methods have been developed and adapted for accurate quantification based on chemical isotopic labeling. Among various chemical isotopic labeling techniques, isobaric tagging approaches rely on the analysis of peptides from MS2-based quantification rather than MS1-based quantification. In this review, we will provide an overview of several isobaric tags along with some recent developments including complementary ion tags, improvements in sensitive quantitation of analytes with lower abundance, strategies to increase multiplexing capabilities, and targeted analysis strategies. We will also discuss limitations of isobaric tags and approaches to alleviate these restrictions through bioinformatic tools and data acquisition methods. This review will highlight several applications of isobaric tags, including biomarker discovery and validation, thermal proteome profiling, cross-linking for structural investigations, single-cell analysis, top-down proteomics, along with applications to different molecules including neuropeptides, glycans, metabolites, and lipids, while providing considerations and evaluations to each application.

Abstract
Intact glycopeptide analysis has been of great interest because it can elucidate glycosylation site information and glycan structural composition at the same time. However, mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomic analysis is hindered by the low abundance and poor ionization efficiency of glycopeptides. Relatively large amounts of starting materials are needed for the enrichment, which makes the identification and quantification of intact glycopeptides from samples with limited quantity more challenging. To overcome these limitations, we developed an improved isobaric labeling strategy with an additional boosting channel to enhance N,N-dimethyl leucine (DiLeu) tagging-based quantitative glycoproteomic analysis, termed as Boost-DiLeu. With the integration of a one-tube sample processing workflow and high-pH fractionation, 3514 quantifiable N-glycopeptides were identified from 30 μg HeLa cell tryptic digests with reliable quantification performance. Furthermore, this strategy was applied to human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples to differentiate N-glycosylation profiles between Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and non-AD donors. The results revealed processes and pathways affected by dysregulated N-glycosylation in AD, including platelet degranulation, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix, which highlighted the involvement of N-glycosylation aberrations in AD pathogenesis. Moreover, weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) showed nine modules of glycopeptides, two of which were associated with the AD phenotype. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of using this strategy for in-depth glycoproteomic analysis of size-limited clinical samples. Taken together, we developed and optimized a strategy for the enhanced comprehensive quantitative intact glycopeptide analysis with DiLeu labeling, showing significant promise for identifying novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers in biological systems with a limited sample quantity.

Abstract
Biomedicine is developing rapidly in the 21st century. Among them, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of peptide biomarkers is of considerable importance for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases and the quality evaluation of drugs and food. The identification and quantitative analysis of peptides have been going on for decades. Traditionally, immunoassays or biological assays are generally used to quantify peptides in biological matrices. However, the selectivity and sensitivity of these methods cannot meet the requirements of the application. The separation and analysis technique of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) supplies a reliable alternative. In contrast to immunoassays, LC-MS methods are capable of providing the analytical prowess necessary to satisfy the demands of peptide biomarker research in the life sciences arena. This review article provides a historical account of the in-roads made by LC-MS technology for the detection of peptide biomarkers in the past 10 years, with the focus on the qualification/quantification developments and their applications.

Abstract
Accurate proteome quantitation is of great significance to deeply understand various cellular and physiological processes. Since a1 ions, generated from dimethyl-labeled peptides, exhibited high formation efficiency (up to 99%) and enhanced intensities (2.34-fold by average) in tandem mass spectra, herein, we proposed an a1 ion-based proteome quantitation (APQ) method, which showed high quantitation accuracy (relative errors < 7%) and precision (median coefficients of variation ≤ 11%) even in a 20-fold dynamic range. Notably, due to the mass differences of a1 ions from peptides with different N-terminal amino acids, APQ demonstrated interference-free capacity by distinguishing target peptides from the coisolated ones. By designing an isobaric dimethyl labeling strategy, we achieved simultaneous proteome-wide measurements across up to eight samples. Using APQ to quantify the time-resolved proteomic profiles during a TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition, we found many differentially expressed proteins associated with fatty acid degradation, indicating that fatty acid metabolism reprogramming occurred during the process. The APQ method combines high quantitation accuracy with multiplexing capacity, which is suitable for deep mining and understanding of dynamic biological processes.

Abstract
N ε-lysine acetylation within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum is a recently characterized protein quality control system that positively selects properly folded glycoproteins in the early secretory pathway. Overexpression of the endoplasmic reticulum acetyl-CoA transporter AT-1 in mouse forebrain neurons results in increased dendritic branching, spine formation and an autistic-like phenotype that is attributed to altered glycoprotein flux through the secretory pathway. AT-1 overexpressing neurons maintain the cytosolic pool of acetyl-CoA by upregulation of SLC25A1, the mitochondrial citrate/malate antiporter and ATP citrate lyase, which converts cytosolic citrate into acetyl-CoA. All three genes have been associated with autism spectrum disorder, suggesting that aberrant cytosolic-to-endoplasmic reticulum flux of acetyl-CoA can be a mechanistic driver for the development of autism spectrum disorder. We therefore generated a SLC25A1 neuron transgenic mouse with overexpression specifically in the forebrain neurons. The mice displayed autistic-like behaviours with a jumping stereotypy. They exhibited increased steady-state levels of citrate and acetyl-CoA, disrupted white matter integrity with activated microglia and altered synaptic plasticity and morphology. Finally, quantitative proteomic and acetyl-proteomic analyses revealed differential adaptations in the hippocampus and cortex. Overall, our study reinforces the connection between aberrant cytosolic-to-endoplasmic reticulum acetyl-CoA flux and the development of an autistic-like phenotype.

Abstract
Protein citrullination is a key post-translational modification (PTM) that leads to the loss of positive charge on arginine and consequent protein structural and functional changes. Though it has been indicated to play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes, effective analytical tools are largely limited due to a few challenges such as the small mass shift induced by this PTM and its low-abundance nature. Recently, we developed a biotin thiol tag, which enabled large-scale profiling of protein citrullination from complex biological samples via mass spectrometry. However, a high-throughput quantitative approach is still in great need to further improve the understanding of this PTM. In this study, we report an efficient pipeline using our custom-developed N,N-dimethyl leucine isobaric tags to achieve a multiplexed quantitative analysis of citrullination from up to 12 samples for the first time. We then apply this strategy to investigating citrullination alterations in response to DNA damage stress using human cell lines. We unveil important biological functions regulated by protein citrullination and observe hypercitrullination on RNA-binding proteins and DNA repair proteins, respectively. Our results reveal the involvement of citrullination in DNA damage pathways and may provide new insights into DNA-damage-related disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-based N ɛ-lysine acetylation serves as an important protein quality control system for the secretory pathway. Dysfunctional endoplasmic reticulum-based acetylation, as caused by overexpression of the acetyl coenzyme A transporter AT-1 in the mouse, results in altered glycoprotein flux through the secretory pathway and an autistic-like phenotype. AT-1 works in concert with SLC25A1, the citrate/malate antiporter in the mitochondria, SLC13A5, the plasma membrane sodium/citrate symporter and ATP citrate lyase, the cytosolic enzyme that converts citrate into acetyl coenzyme A. Here, we report that mice with neuron-specific overexpression of SLC13A5 exhibit autistic-like behaviours with a jumping stereotypy. The mice displayed disrupted white matter integrity and altered synaptic structure and function. Analysis of both the proteome and acetyl-proteome revealed unique adaptations in the hippocampus and cortex, highlighting a metabolic response that likely plays an important role in the SLC13A5 neuron transgenic phenotype. Overall, our results support a mechanistic link between aberrant intracellular citrate/acetyl coenzyme A flux and the development of an autistic-like phenotype.

Abstract
In the past decade, relative proteomic quantification using isobaric labeling technology has developed into a key tool for comparing the expression of proteins in biological samples. Although its multiplexing capacity and flexibility make this a valuable technology for addressing various biological questions, its quantitative accuracy and precision still pose significant challenges to the reliability of its quantification results. Here, we give a detailed overview of the different kinds of isobaric mass tags and the advantages and disadvantages of the isobaric labeling method. We also discuss which precautions should be taken at each step of the isobaric labeling workflow, to obtain reliable quantification results in large-scale quantitative proteomics experiments. In the last section, we discuss the broad applications of the isobaric labeling technology in biological and clinical studies, with an emphasis on thermal proteome profiling and proteogenomics.

Abstract
Stable-isotope labeling strategies are extensively used for multiplex quantitative proteomics. Hybrid-isotope labeling strategies that combine the use of isotopic mass difference labeling and isobaric tags can greatly increase sample multiplexity. In this work, we present a novel hybrid-isotope labeling approach that we termed NHS-ester tandem labeling in one pot (NETLOP). We first optimized 16-plex isobaric TMTpro labeling of lysine residues followed by 2-plex or 3-plex isotopic mTRAQ labeling of peptide N-termini, both of which with commercially available NHS-ester reactive reagents. We then demonstrated the utility of the NETLOP approach by labeling HeLa cell samples and performing proof-of-principle quantitative 32-plex and 48-plex proteomic analyses, each in a single LC-MS/MS experiment. Compared to current hybrid-isotope labeling methods, our NETLOP approach requires no sample cleanup between different labeling steps to minimize sample loss, induces no retention time shifts that compromise quantification accuracy, can be adapted to other NHS-ester isotopic labeling reagents to further increase multiplexity, and is compatible with samples from any origin in a wide array of biological and clinical proteomics applications.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics empowers deep profiling of proteome and protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we review the advances and limitations in historic and recent AD proteomic research. Complementary to genetic mapping, proteomic studies not only validate canonical amyloid and tau pathways, but also uncover novel components in broad protein networks, such as RNA splicing, development, immunity, membrane transport, lipid metabolism, synaptic function, and mitochondrial activity. Meta-analysis of seven deep datasets reveals 2,698 differentially expressed (DE) proteins in the landscape of AD brain proteome (n = 12,017 proteins/genes), covering 35 reported AD genes and risk loci. The DE proteins contain cellular markers enriched in neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and epithelial cells, supporting the involvement of diverse cell types in AD pathology. We discuss the hypothesized protective or detrimental roles of selected DE proteins, emphasizing top proteins in "amyloidome" (all biomolecules in amyloid plaques) and disease progression. Comprehensive PTM analysis represents another layer of molecular events in AD. In particular, tau PTMs are correlated with disease stages and indicate the heterogeneity of individual AD patients. Moreover, the unprecedented proteomic coverage of biofluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and serum, procures novel putative AD biomarkers through meta-analysis. Thus, proteomics-driven systems biology presents a new frontier to link genotype, proteotype, and phenotype, accelerating the development of improved AD models and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Innovations in medical technology and dedicated focus from the scientific community have inspired numerous treatment strategies for benign and invasive cancers. While these improvements often lend themselves to more positive prognoses and greater patient longevity, means for early detection and severity stratification have failed to keep pace. Detection and validation of cancer-specific biomarkers hinges on the ability to identify subtype-specific phenotypic and proteomic alterations and the systematic screening of diverse patient groups. For this reason, clinical and scientific research settings rely on high throughput and high sensitivity mass spectrometry methods to discover and quantify unique molecular perturbations in cancer patients. Discussed within is an overview of quantitative proteomics strategies and a summary of recent applications that enable revealing potential biomarkers and treatment targets in prostate, ovarian, breast, and pancreatic cancer in a high throughput manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neuropeptides are signaling molecules originating in the neuroendocrine system that can act as neurotransmitters and hormones in many biochemical processes. Their exact function is difficult to characterize, however, due to dependence on concentration, post-translational modifications, and the presence of other comodulating neuropeptides. Mass spectrometry enables sensitive, accurate, and global peptidomic analyses that can profile neuropeptide expression changes to understand their roles in many biological problems, such as neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic function. AREAS COVERED We provide a brief overview of the fundamentals of neuropeptidomic research, limitations of existing methods, and recent progress in the field. This review is focused on developments in mass spectrometry and encompasses labeling strategies, post-translational modification analysis, mass spectrometry imaging, and integrated multi-omic workflows, with discussion emphasizing quantitative advancements. EXPERT OPINION Neuropeptidomics is critical for future clinical research with impacts in biomarker discovery, receptor identification, and drug design. While advancements are being made to improve sensitivity and accuracy, there is still room for improvement. Better quantitative strategies are required for clinical analyses, and these methods also need to be amenable to mass spectrometry imaging, post-translational modification analysis, and multi-omics to facilitate understanding and future treatment of many diseases.

Abstract
Copper is a necessary nutrient but quickly becomes toxic at elevated levels. To properly handle environmental copper influxes and maintain metal homeostasis, organisms utilize various methods to chelate, excrete, and metabolize heavy metals. These mechanisms are believed to involve complex signaling pathways mediated by neuropeptides. This study incorporates custom N,N-dimethyl leucine isobaric tags to characterize the neuropeptidomic changes after different time points (1, 2, and 4 h) of copper exposure in a model organism, blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. Using a modified simplex optimization strategy, the number of identifiable and quantifiable neuropeptides was increased 3-fold to facilitate a deeper understanding of the signaling pathways involved in responding to heavy metal exposure. The time course exposure showed many interesting findings, including upregulation of inhibitory allatostatin peptides in the pericardial organs. Additionally, there was evidence of transport of a pigment dispersing hormone from the sinus glands to the brain. Overall, this study improves the multiplexing capabilities of neuropeptidomic studies to understand the temporal changes associated with copper toxicity.

In-depth Site-specific Analysis of N-glycoproteome in Human Cerebrospinal Fluid and Glycosylation Landscape Changes in Alzheimer's Disease. Mol Cell Proteomics 2021; 20:100081. [PMID: 33862227 PMCID: PMC8724636 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2021.100081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
As the body fluid that directly interchanges with the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system (CNS), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a rich source for CNS-related disease biomarker discovery. Extensive proteome profiling has been conducted for CSF, but studies aimed at unraveling site-specific CSF N-glycoproteome are lacking. Initial efforts into site-specific N-glycoproteomics study in CSF yield limited coverage, hindering further experimental design of glycosylation-based disease biomarker discovery in CSF. In the present study, we have developed an N-glycoproteomic approach that combines enhanced N-glycopeptide sequential enrichment by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and boronic acid enrichment with electron transfer and higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) for large-scale intact N-glycopeptide analysis. The application of the developed approach to the analyses of human CSF samples enabled identifications of a total of 2893 intact N-glycopeptides from 511 N-glycosites and 285 N-glycoproteins. To our knowledge, this is the largest site-specific N-glycoproteome dataset reported for CSF to date. Such dataset provides molecular basis for a better understanding of the structure-function relationships of glycoproteins and their roles in CNS-related physiological and pathological processes. As accumulating evidence suggests that defects in glycosylation are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, in the present study, a comparative in-depth N-glycoproteomic analysis was conducted for CSF samples from healthy control and AD patients, which yielded a comparable N-glycoproteome coverage but a distinct expression pattern for different categories of glycoforms, such as decreased fucosylation in AD CSF samples. Altered glycosylation patterns were detected for a number of N-glycoproteins including alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, ephrin-A3 and carnosinase CN1 etc., which serve as potentially interesting targets for further glycosylation-based AD study and may eventually lead to molecular elucidation of the role of glycosylation in AD progression.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is unique to each tissue and capable of guiding cell differentiation, migration, morphology, and function. The ECM proteome of different developmental stages has not been systematically studied in the human pancreas. In this study, we apply mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics strategies using N,N-dimethyl leucine isobaric tags to delineate proteome-wide and ECM-specific alterations in four age groups: fetal (18-20 weeks gestation), juvenile (5-16 years old), young adults (21-29 years old) and older adults (50-61 years old). We identify 3,523 proteins including 185 ECM proteins and quantify 117 of them. We detect previously unknown proteome and matrisome features during pancreas development and maturation. We also visualize specific ECM proteins of interest using immunofluorescent staining and investigate changes in ECM localization within islet or acinar compartments. This comprehensive proteomics analysis contributes to an improved understanding of the critical roles that ECM plays throughout human pancreas development and maturation.

Abstract
The inclusion of preliminary chemical labeling (derivatization) in the analysis process by such powerful and widespread methods as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a popular and widely used methodological approach. This is due to the need to remove some fundamental limitations inherent in these powerful analytic methods. Although a number of special reviews has been published discussing the utilization of derivatization approaches, the purpose of the present critical review is to comprehensively summarize, characterize and evaluate most of the previously developed and practically applied, as well as recently proposed representative derivatization reagents for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS platforms in their mostly sensitive positive ion mode and frequently hyphenated with separation techniques. The review is focused on the use of preliminary chemical labeling to facilitate the detection, identification, structure elucidation, quantification, profiling or MS imaging of compounds within complex matrices. Two main derivatization approaches, namely the introduction of permanent charge-fixed or highly proton affinitive residues into analytes are critically evaluated. In situ charge-generation, charge-switch and charge-transfer derivatizations are considered separately. The potential of using reactive matrices in MALDI-MS and chemical labeling in MS-based omics sciences is given.

Abstract
Nε-lysine acetylation in the ER is an essential component of the quality control machinery. ER acetylation is ensured by a membrane transporter, AT-1/SLC33A1, which translocates cytosolic acetyl-CoA into the ER lumen, and two acetyltransferases, ATase1 and ATase2, which acetylate nascent polypeptides within the ER lumen. Dysfunctional AT-1, as caused by gene mutation or duplication events, results in severe disease phenotypes. Here, we used two models of AT-1 dysregulation to investigate dynamics of the secretory pathway: AT-1 sTg, a model of systemic AT-1 overexpression, and AT-1S113R/+, a model of AT-1 haploinsufficiency. The animals displayed reorganization of the ER, ERGIC, and Golgi apparatus. In particular, AT-1 sTg animals displayed a marked delay in Golgi-to-plasma membrane protein trafficking, significant alterations in Golgi-based N-glycan modification, and a marked expansion of the lysosomal network. Collectively our results indicate that AT-1 is essential to maintain proper organization and engagement of the secretory pathway.

Abstract
In recent decades, mass spectrometry has moved more than ever before into the front line of protein-centered research. After being established at the qualitative level, the more challenging question of quantification of proteins and peptides using mass spectrometry has become a focus for further development. In this chapter, we discuss and review actual strategies and problems of the methods for the quantitative analysis of peptides, proteins, and finally proteomes by mass spectrometry. The common themes, the differences, and the potential pitfalls of the main approaches are presented in order to provide a survey of the emerging field of quantitative, mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic profiling of whole proteome and protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is a powerful technology to measure the dynamics of proteome with high throughput and deep coverage. The reproducibility of quantification benefits not only from the fascinating developments in high-performance liquid chromatography (LC) and high-resolution MS with enhanced scan rates but also from the invention of multiplexed isotopic labeling strategies, such as the tandem mass tags (TMT). In this chapter, we introduce a 16-plex TMT-LC/LC-MS/MS protocol for proteomic profiling of biological and clinical samples. The protocol includes protein extraction, enzymatic digestion, PTM peptide enrichment, TMT labeling, and two-dimensional reverse-phase liquid chromatography fractionation coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis, followed by computational data processing. In general, more than 10,000 proteins and tens of thousands of PTM sites (e.g., phosphorylation and ubiquitination) can be confidently quantified. This protocol provides a general protein measurement tool, enabling the dissection of protein dysregulation in any biological samples and human diseases.

Abstract
The potential of proteome responses as early-warning indicators of insecticide exposure was evaluated using the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius (Meigen) as the model organism. Chironomus riparius larvae were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of the neurotoxic pesticide spinosad to uncover molecular events that may provide insights on the long-term individual and population level consequences. The iTRAQ labeling method was performed to quantify protein abundance changes between exposed and non-exposed organisms. Data analysis revealed a general dose-dependent decrease in the abundance of globin proteins as a result of spinosad exposure. Additionally, the downregulation of actin and a larval cuticle protein was also observed after spinosad exposure, which may be related to previously determined C. riparius life-history traits impairment and biochemical responses. Present results suggest that protein profile changes can be used as early warning biomarkers of pesticide exposure and may provide a better mechanistic interpretation of the toxic response of organisms, aiding in the assessment of the ecological effects of environmental contamination. This work also contributes to the understanding of the sublethal effects of insecticides in invertebrates and their molecular targets.

Abstract
Tandem mass tag (TMT)-based mass spectrometry (MS) enables deep proteomic profiling of more than 10,000 proteins in complex biological samples but requires up to 100 μg protein in starting materials during a standard analysis. Here, we present a streamlined protocol to quantify more than 9000 proteins with 0.5 μg protein per sample by 16-plex TMT coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC/LC-MS/MS). In this protocol, we optimized multiple conditions to reduce sample loss, including processing each sample in a single tube to minimize surface adsorption, increasing digestion enzymes to shorten proteolysis and function as carriers, eliminating a desalting step between digestion and TMT labeling, and developing miniaturized basic pH LC for prefractionation. By profiling 16 identical human brain tissue samples of Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), and non-dementia controls, we directly compared this new microgram-scale protocol to the standard-scale protocol, quantifying 9116 and 10,869 proteins, respectively. Importantly, bioinformatics analysis indicated that the microgram-scale protocol had adequate sensitivity and reproducibility to detect differentially expressed proteins in disease-related pathways. Thus, this newly developed protocol is of general application for deep proteomics analysis of biological and clinical samples at sub-microgram levels.

Abstract
Lipid-derived electrophile (LDE) modifications, which are covalent modifications of proteins by endogenous LDEs, are essential types of protein posttranslational modifications. LDE modifications alter the protein structure and regulate their biological processes in cells. LDE modifications of proteins are also closely associated with several diseases and function as potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis. The crucial step in studying the LDE modifications is to enrich the LDE modified proteins/peptides from complex biological samples with high efficiency and high selectivity and quantify modified proteins/peptides with high accuracy. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in MS-based proteomic technologies to globally identify and quantify LDE modified proteomes, mainly focusing on discussing the qualitative and quantitative technologies.

Abstract
Gut microbiota can regulate host physiological and pathological status through gut-brain communications or pathways. However, the impact of the gut microbiome on neuropeptides and proteins involved in regulating brain functions and behaviors is still not clearly understood. To address the problem, integrated label-free and 10-plex DiLeu isobaric tag-based quantitative methods were implemented to compare the profiling of neuropeptides and proteins in the hypothalamus of germ-free (GF)- vs conventionally raised (ConvR)-mice. A total of 2943 endogenous peptides from 63 neuropeptide precursors and 3971 proteins in the mouse hypothalamus were identified. Among these 368 significantly changed peptides (fold changes over 1.5 and a p-value of <0.05), 73.6% of the peptides showed higher levels in GF-mice than in ConvR-mice, and 26.4% of the peptides had higher levels in ConvR-mice than in GF-mice. These peptides were mainly from secretogranin-2, phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein-1, ProSAAS, and proenkephalin-A. A quantitative proteomic analysis employing DiLeu isobaric tags revealed that 282 proteins were significantly up- or down-regulated (fold changes over 1.2 and a p-value of <0.05) among the 3277 quantified proteins. These neuropeptides and proteins were mainly involved in regulating behaviors, transmitter release, signaling pathways, and synapses. Interestingly, pathways including long-term potentiation, long-term depression, and circadian entrainment were involved. In the present study, a combined label-free and 10-plex DiLeu-based quantitative method enabled a comprehensive profiling of gut microbiome-induced dynamic changes of neuropeptides and proteins in the hypothalamus, suggesting that the gut microbiome might mediate a range of behavioral changes, brain development, and learning and memory through these neuropeptides and proteins.

Abstract
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is common in aging males. Disease etiology is largely unknown but likely includes inflammation and age-related changes in steroid hormones. Diagnosis is currently based on subjective symptom scores, and mainstay treatments can be ineffective and bothersome. Biomarker discovery efforts could facilitate objective diagnostic criteria for personalized medicine and new potential druggable pathways. To identify urine metabolite markers specific to hormone-induced bladder outlet obstruction, we applied our custom synthesized multiplex isobaric tags to monitor the development of bladder outlet obstruction across time in an experimental mouse model of LUTS. Mouse urine samples were collected before treatment and after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of steroid hormone treatment and subsequently analyzed by nanoflow ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Accurate and high-throughput quantification of amine-containing metabolites was achieved by 12-plex DiLeu isobaric labeling. Metandem, a novel online software tool for large-scale isobaric labeling-based metabolomics, was used for identification and relative quantification of labeled metabolites. A total of 59 amine-containing metabolites were identified and quantified, 9 of which were changed significantly by the hormone treatment. Metabolic pathway analyses showed that three metabolic pathways were potentially disrupted. Among them, the arginine and proline metabolism pathway was significantly dysregulated both in this model and in a prior analysis of LUTS patient samples. Proline and citrulline were significantly changed in both samples and serve as attractive candidate biomarkers. The 12-plex DiLeu isobaric labeling with Metandem data processing presents an accessible and efficient workflow for an amine-containing metabolome study in biological specimens.

Abstract
The unbiased selection of peptide precursors makes data-independent acquisition (DIA) an advantageous alternative to data-dependent acquisition (DDA) for discovery proteomics, but traditional multiplexed quantification approaches employing mass difference labeling or isobaric tagging are incompatible with DIA. Here, we describe a strategy that permits multiplexed quantification by DIA using mass defect-based N,N-dimethyl leucine (mdDiLeu) tags and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) analysis. Millidalton mass differences between mdDiLeu isotopologues produce fragment ion multiplet peaks separated in mass by as little as 5.8 mDa, enabling up to 4-plex quantification in DIA MS2 spectra. Quantitative analysis of yeast samples displayed comparable accuracy and precision for MS2-based DIA and MS1-based DDA methods. Multiplexed DIA analysis of cerebrospinal fluid revealed the dynamic proteome changes in Alzheimer's disease, demonstrating its utility for discovery of potential clinical biomarkers. We show that the mdDiLeu tagging approach for multiplexed DIA is a viable methodology for investigating proteome changes, particularly for low-abundance proteins, in different biological matrices.

Abstract
Isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling is widely used in proteomics because of its high multiplexing capacity and deep proteome coverage. Recently, an expanded 16-plex TMT method has been introduced, which further increases the throughput of proteomic studies. In this manuscript, we present an optimized protocol for 16-plex TMT-based deep-proteome profiling, including protein sample preparation, enzymatic digestion, TMT labeling reaction, two-dimensional reverse-phase liquid chromatography (LC/LC) fractionation, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), and computational data processing. The crucial quality control steps and improvements in the process specific for the 16-plex TMT analysis are highlighted. This multiplexed process offers a powerful tool for profiling a variety of complex samples such as cells, tissues, and clinical specimens. More than 10,000 proteins and posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination in highly complex biological samples from up to 16 different samples can be quantified in a single experiment, providing a potent tool for basic and clinical research.

Abstract
Isobaric tagging reagents such as isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and tandem mass tag (TMT) typically have isotopic impurities that cause significant cross-talk between channels. Here, we present an efficient solution to compensate for channel cross-talk using linear algebra and find that it is between 20× and 120× faster than previous methods. We also find that the effects of channel cross-talk are as important to manage as the effects of ratio compression because of precursor impurities, and we have released an open-source tool to perform both types of calculations.

Abstract
RATIONALE Compared with traditional labelling reagents used in proteomics, maleic anhydride is milder and can be easily removed under certain conditions, thus simplifying chemical derivatization. METHODS The proposed strategy combined a site-specific chemical labelling reaction with mass spectrometry. Site-selective, reversible N-terminal maleylation was controlled by pH. RESULTS Selective maleyl N-terminal labelling was achieved with high efficiency under the optimized reaction conditions. The demaleylation conditions were also optimized. The sequence coverage of histone H4 increased from 77% to 95% after the maleyl labels were removed, and the number of maleylated peptides was five times that of the unlabelled peptides. We further verified the reversible and selective N-terminal labelling properties of maleic anhydride through propionylation labelling at the peptide/protein level. CONCLUSIONS A new method for site-selective maleylation of the N-terminal amino groups of a peptide was explored. Through the optimization experiment, good efficiency was achieved for this labelling reaction. The reversibility of maleylation labelling was also explored and applied for the identification of post-translational modifications of histones. Thus, site-selective, reversible, pH-induced N-terminal labelling using maleic anhydride has greater potential for application in proteomics than any other labelling methods.
