Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence is increasing worldwide due to the obesity epidemic, which drives metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) that can lead to HCC. However, the molecular pathways that lead to MASH-HCC are poorly understood. We have previously reported that male mice with global haploinsufficiency of hypoxia-associated factor, HAF ( SART1 +/ - ) spontaneously develop MASH/HCC. However, the cell type(s) responsible for HCC associated with HAF loss are unclear. Results SART1 -floxed mice were crossed with mice expressing Cre-recombinase within hepatocytes (Alb-Cre; hepS -/- ) or macrophages (LysM-Cre, macS -/- ). Only hepS -/- mice (both male and female) developed HCC suggesting that HAF protects against HCC primarily within hepatocytes. HAF-deficient macrophages showed decreased P-p65 and P-p50 and in many major components of the NF-κB pathway, which was recapitulated using HAF siRNA in vitro . HAF depletion increased apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo , suggesting that HAF mediates a tumor suppressor role by suppressing hepatocyte apoptosis. We show that HAF regulates NF-κB activity by controlling transcription of TRADD and RIPK1 . Mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) showed marked suppression of HAF, P-p65 and TRADD within their livers after 26 weeks, but manifest profound upregulation of HAF, P-65 and TRADD within their livers after 40 weeks of HFD, implicating deregulation of the HAF-NF-κB axis in the progression to MASH. In humans, HAF was significantly decreased in livers with simple steatosis but significantly increased in HCC compared to normal liver. Conclusions HAF is novel transcriptional regulator of the NF-κB pathway that protects against hepatocyte apoptosis and is a key determinant of cell fate during progression to MASH and MASH-HCC.

Abstract
Dynamic changes in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks underlie all physiological cellular functions and drive devastating human diseases. Profiling PPI networks can, therefore, provide critical insight into disease mechanisms and identify new drug targets. Kinases are regulatory nodes in many PPI networks; yet, facile methods to systematically study kinase interactome dynamics are lacking. We describe kinobead competition and correlation analysis (kiCCA), a quantitative mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomic method for rapid and highly multiplexed profiling of endogenous kinase interactomes. Using kiCCA, we identified 1,154 PPIs of 238 kinases across 18 diverse cancer lines, quantifying context-dependent kinase interactome changes linked to cancer type, plasticity, and signaling states, thereby assembling an extensive knowledgebase for cell signaling research. We discovered drug target candidates, including an endocytic adapter-associated kinase (AAK1) complex that promotes cancer cell epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity and drug resistance. Our data demonstrate the importance of kinase interactome dynamics for cellular signaling in health and disease.

Abstract
Mutations in the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKAc) drive the stress hormone disorder adrenal Cushing's syndrome. We define mechanisms of action for the PKAc-L205R and W196R variants. Proximity proteomic techniques demonstrate that both Cushing's mutants are excluded from A kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP)-signaling islands, whereas live-cell photoactivation microscopy reveals that these kinase mutants indiscriminately diffuse throughout the cell. Only cAMP analog drugs that displace native PKAc from AKAPs enhance cortisol release. Rescue experiments that incorporate PKAc mutants into AKAP complexes abolish cortisol overproduction, indicating that kinase anchoring restores normal endocrine function. Analyses of adrenal-specific PKAc-W196R knockin mice and Cushing's syndrome patient tissue reveal defective signaling mechanisms of the disease. Surprisingly each Cushing's mutant engages a different mitogenic-signaling pathway, with upregulation of YAP/TAZ by PKAc-L205R and ERK kinase activation by PKAc-W196R. Thus, aberrant spatiotemporal regulation of each Cushing's variant promotes the transmission of distinct downstream pathogenic signals.

Abstract
Ground-based very low frequency (VLF) transmitters located around the world generate signals that leak through the bottom side of the ionosphere in the form of whistler mode waves. Wave and particle measurements on satellites have observed that these man-made VLF waves can be strong enough to scatter trapped energetic electrons into low pitch angle orbits, causing loss by absorption in the lower atmosphere. This precipitation loss process is greatly enhanced by intentional amplification of the whistler waves using a newly discovered process called rocket exhaust driven amplification (REDA). Satellite measurements of REDA have shown between 30 and 50 dB intensification of VLF waves in space using a 60 s burn of the 150 g/s thruster on the Cygnus satellite that services the International Space Station. This controlled amplification process is adequate to deplete the energetic particle population on the affected field lines in a few minutes rather than the multi-day period it would take naturally. Numerical simulations of the pitch angle diffusion for radiation belt particles use the UCLA quasi-linear Fokker Planck model to assess the impact of REDA on radiation belt remediation of newly injected energetic electrons. The simulated precipitation fluxes of energetic electrons are applied to models of D-region electron density and bremsstrahlung X-rays for predictions of the modified environment that can be observed with satellite and ground-based sensors.

Abstract
The ever-increasing size and scale of biological information have popularized network-based approaches as a means to interpret these data. We develop a network propagation method that integrates kinase-inhibitor-focused functional screens with known protein-protein interactions (PPIs). This method, dubbed KiRNet, uses an a priori edge-weighting strategy based on node degree to establish a pipeline from a kinase inhibitor screen to the generation of a predictive PPI subnetwork. We apply KiRNet to uncover molecular regulators of mesenchymal cancer cells driven by overexpression of Frizzled 2 (FZD2). KiRNet produces a network model consisting of 166 high-value proteins. These proteins exhibit FZD2-dependent differential phosphorylation, and genetic knockdown studies validate their role in maintaining a mesenchymal cell state. Finally, analysis of clinical data shows that mesenchymal tumors exhibit significantly higher average expression of the 166 corresponding genes than epithelial tumors for nine different cancer types.

Abstract
In recent years, highly sensitive mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic analysis is beginning to be applied to identification of protein kinase substrates altered downstream of increased cAMP. Such studies identify a very large number of phosphorylation sites regulated in response to increased cAMP. Therefore, we now are tasked with the challenge of determining how many of these altered phosphorylation sites are relevant to regulation of function in the cell. This minireview describes the use of phosphoproteomic analysis to monitor the effects of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors on cAMP-dependent phosphorylation events. More specifically, it describes two examples of this approach carried out in the authors' laboratories using the selective PDE inhibitor approach. After a short discussion of several likely conclusions suggested by these analyses of cAMP function in steroid hormone-producing cells and also in T-cells, it expands into a discussion about some newer and more speculative interpretations of the data. These include the idea that multiple phosphorylation sites and not a single rate-limiting step likely regulate these and, by analogy, many other cAMP-dependent pathways. In addition, the idea that meaningful regulation requires a high stoichiometry of phosphorylation to be important is discussed and suggested to be untrue in many instances. These new interpretations have important implications for drug design, especially for targeting pathway agonists. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Phosphoproteomic analyses identify thousands of altered phosphorylation sites upon drug treatment, providing many possible regulatory targets but also highlighting questions about which phosphosites are functionally important. These data imply that multistep processes are regulated by phosphorylation at not one but rather many sites. Most previous studies assumed a single step or very few rate-limiting steps were changed by phosphorylation. This concept should be changed. Previous interpretations also assumed substoichiometric phosphorylation was not of regulatory importance. This assumption also should be changed.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex and deadly disease lacking druggable genetic mutations. The limited efficacy of systemic treatments for advanced HCC implies that predictive biomarkers and drug targets are urgently needed. Most HCC drugs target protein kinases, indicating that kinase-dependent signaling networks drive HCC progression. To identify HCC signaling networks that determine responses to kinase inhibitors (KIs), we apply a pharmacoproteomics approach integrating kinome activity in 17 HCC cell lines with their responses to 299 KIs, resulting in a comprehensive dataset of pathway-based drug response signatures. By profiling patient HCC samples, we identify signatures of clinical HCC drug responses in individual tumors. Our analyses reveal kinase networks promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and drug resistance, including a FZD2-AXL-NUAK1/2 signaling module, whose inhibition reverses the EMT and sensitizes HCC cells to drugs. Our approach identifies cancer drug targets and molecular signatures of drug response for personalized oncology.

Abstract
Kinase-catalyzed protein phosphorylation is fundamental to eukaryotic signal transduction, regulating most cellular processes. Kinases are frequently dysregulated in cancer, inflammation, and degenerative diseases, and because they can be inhibited with small molecules, they became important drug targets. Accordingly, analytical approaches that determine kinase activation states are critically important to understand kinase-dependent signal transduction and to identify novel drug targets and predictive biomarkers. Multiplexed inhibitor beads (MIBs or kinobeads) efficiently enrich kinases from cell lysates for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. When combined with phosphopeptide enrichment, kinobead/LC-MS can also quantify the phosphorylation state of kinases, which determines their activation state. However, an efficient kinobead/LC-MS kinase phospho-profiling protocol that allows routine analyses of cell lines and tissues has not yet been developed. Here, we present a facile workflow that quantifies the global phosphorylation state of kinases with unprecedented sensitivity. We also found that our kinobead/LC-MS protocol can measure changes in kinase complex composition and show how these changes can indicate kinase activity. We demonstrate the utility of our approach in specifying kinase signaling pathways that control the acute steroidogenic response in Leydig cells; this analysis establishes the first comprehensive framework for the post-translational control of steroid biosynthesis.

Abstract
ATP-competitive inhibitors that demonstrate exquisite selectivity for specific members of the human kinome have been developed. Despite this success, the identification of highly selective inhibitors is still very challenging, and it is often not possible to rationally engineer selectivity between the ATP-binding sites of kinases, especially among closely related family members. Src-family kinases (SFKs) are a highly homologous family of eight multidomain, nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that play general and specialized roles in numerous cellular processes. The high sequence and functional similarities between SFK members make it hard to rationalize how selectivity can be gained with inhibitors that target the ATP-binding site. Here, we describe the development of a series of inhibitors that are highly selective for the ATP-binding sites of the SFKs Lyn and Hck over other SFKs. By biochemically characterizing how these selective ATP-competitive inhibitors allosterically influence the global conformation of SFKs, we demonstrate that they most likely interact with a binding pocket created by the movement of the conformationally flexible helix αC in the ATP-binding site. With a series of sequence swap experiments, we show that sensitivity to this class of selective inhibitors is due to the identity of residues that control the conformational flexibility of helix αC rather than any specific ATP-binding site interactions. Thus, the ATP-binding sites of highly homologous kinases can be discriminated by targeting heterogeneity within conformationally flexible regions.

Abstract
Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer. FLCs uniquely produce DNAJ-PKAc, a chimeric enzyme consisting of a chaperonin-binding domain fused to the Cα subunit of protein kinase A. Biochemical analyses of clinical samples reveal that a unique property of this fusion enzyme is the ability to recruit heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). This cellular chaperonin is frequently up-regulated in cancers. Gene-editing of mouse hepatocytes generated disease-relevant AML12DNAJ-PKAc cell lines. Further analyses indicate that the proto-oncogene A-kinase anchoring protein-Lbc is up-regulated in FLC and functions to cluster DNAJ-PKAc/Hsp70 sub-complexes with a RAF-MEK-ERK kinase module. Drug screening reveals Hsp70 and MEK inhibitor combinations that selectively block proliferation of AML12DNAJ-PKAc cells. Phosphoproteomic profiling demonstrates that DNAJ-PKAc biases the signaling landscape toward ERK activation and engages downstream kinase cascades. Thus, the oncogenic action of DNAJ-PKAc involves an acquired scaffolding function that permits recruitment of Hsp70 and mobilization of local ERK signaling. Fibrolamellar carcinoma (or FLC for short) is a rare type of liver cancer that affects teenagers and young adults. FLC tumors are often resistant to standard radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatments. The only way to treat FLC is to remove tumors by surgery. However, often the tumors come back after initial treatment and spread to other locations. Therefore, there is a genuine need to improve the treatment options available to FLC patients. The tumor cells of FLC patients contain a genetic defect that fuses together two genes, which produce proteins called DNAJ and PKAc. Normally, DNAJ helps other proteins in the cell to fold into their correct shapes, while PKAc is an enzyme that can control how cells communicate. However, it is not clear what the abnormal DNAJ-PKAc fusion protein does, or how it causes FLC. Turnham, Smith et al. have now used gene editing to make mouse liver cells that mimic the human FLC mutation. Biochemical experiments on these cells showed that the DNAJ-PKAc protein brings together unique combinations of enzymes that drive uncontrolled cell growth. Analyzing cells taken from tumors in FLC patients confirmed that these enzymes are also activated in the human disease. Turnham, Smith et al. also found that combinations of drugs that simultaneously target the DNAJ-PKAc protein and the recruited enzymes slowed down the growth of FLC cells. More experiments are now needed to test these drug combinations on human FLC cells or in mice.

Abstract
Breast cancer screening and new precision therapies have led to improved patient outcomes. Yet, a positive prognosis is less certain when primary tumors metastasize. Metastasis requires a coordinated program of cellular changes that promote increased survival, migration, and energy consumption. These pathways converge on mitochondrial function, where distinct signaling networks of kinases, phosphatases, and metabolic enzymes regulate these processes. The protein kinase A-anchoring protein dAKAP1 compartmentalizes protein kinase A (PKA) and other signaling enzymes at the outer mitochondrial membrane and thereby controls mitochondrial function and dynamics. Modulation of these processes occurs in part through regulation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). Here, we report an inverse relationship between the expression of dAKAP1 and mesenchymal markers in breast cancer. Molecular, cellular, and in silico analyses of breast cancer cell lines confirmed that dAKAP1 depletion is associated with impaired mitochondrial function and dynamics, as well as with increased glycolytic potential and invasiveness. Furthermore, disruption of dAKAP1-PKA complexes affected cell motility and mitochondrial movement toward the leading edge in invasive breast cancer cells. We therefore propose that depletion of dAKAP1-PKA "signaling islands" from the outer mitochondrial membrane augments progression toward metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
Selective inhibitors of Cryptosporidium calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 ( CpCDPK1) based on the 1 H-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidin-4-amine (pyrazolopyrimidine, PP) scaffold are effective in both in vitro and in vivo models of cryptosporidiosis. However, the search for distinct safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties has motivated our exploration of alternative scaffolds. Here, we describe a series of 7 H-pyrrolo[2,3- d]pyrimidin-4-amine (pyrrolopyrimidine, PrP)-based analogs of PP CpCDPK1 inhibitors. Most of the PrP-based inhibitors described potently inhibit the CpCDPK1 enzyme, demonstrate no toxicity against mammalian cells, and block proliferation of the C. parvum parasite in the low micromolar range. Interestingly, certain substituents that show reduced CpCDPK1 potency when displayed from a PP scaffold provided notably enhanced efficacy in the context of a PrP scaffold. PK studies on these paired compounds show that some PrP analogs have distinct physiochemical properties compared with their PP counterparts. These results demonstrate that inhibitors based on a PrP scaffold are distinct therapeutic alternatives to previously developed PP inhibitors.

Abstract
Identifying cellular targets of bioactive small molecules from large-scale screening campaigns can be a significant bottleneck in developing novel therapeutics. Our rapid small-molecule target profiling protocol combines affinity enrichment and SILAC for proteomic identification of small molecule-protein interactions. Selective interactions are easily discernable from nonspecific protein binding by quantitative ratios. Using kinase inhibitors as an example, we provide an optimized protocol featuring on-bead protein digestion and single nano-flow liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) analyses, consequently increasing analytical throughput and sensitivity over gel-based sample preparation methods for rapid profiling of kinase inhibitor targets.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 has evolutionarily conserved roles in cell signaling and metabolism and is a recognized drug target in neurological pathologies, most prominently bipolar disorder. More recently it has been suggested that GSK3 may be a target for the treatment of trypanosomatid parasite infections, e.g. with T. brucei, due to the lethal phenotype observed in parasite GSK3 short RNAi knockdown experiments. Here we investigated the kinome selectivity of a library of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol inhibitors that were developed against T. brucei GSK3 but that also interact with the human orthologue and other protein kinases. We applied label-free MS-based kinome chemoproteomics profiling with kinobeads to obtain the selectivity profiles of all 39 library members against 217 human protein and lipid kinases. This allowed us to study the structure-activity relationship of the library members as well as the chemical genetic relationships between kinase targets. As a result, we identified a novel and highly selective HsGSK3 inhibitor containing a 2-chloroaniline-substituted squaric acid amide pharmacophore that confers low nanomolar (IC50 = 2.8 nM) and sub-micromolar potency against purified and cellular HsGSK3. The inhibitor will be useful as a new lead for GSK3 inhibitor development and as a chemical genetic probe to study roles of GSK3 in cell signaling.

Abstract
ATP-competitive protein kinase inhibitors are important research tools and therapeutic agents. Because there are >500 human kinases that contain highly conserved active sites, the development of selective inhibitors is extremely challenging. Methods to rapidly and efficiently profile kinase inhibitor targets in cell lysates are urgently needed to discover selective compounds and to elucidate the mechanisms of action for polypharmacological inhibitors. Here, we describe a protocol for microgram-scale chemoproteomic profiling of ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors using kinobeads. We employed a gel-free in situ digestion protocol coupled to nanoflow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to profile ∼200 kinases in single analytical runs using as little as 5 μL of kinobeads and 300 μg of protein. With our kinobead reagents, we obtained broad coverage of the kinome, monitoring the relative expression levels of 312 kinases in a diverse panel of 11 cancer cell lines. Further, we profiled a set of pyrrolopyrimidine- and pyrazolopyrimidine-based kinase inhibitors in competition-binding experiments with label-free quantification, leading to the discovery of a novel selective and potent inhibitor of protein kinase D (PKD) 1, 2, and 3. Our protocol is useful for rapid and sensitive profiling of kinase expression levels and ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor selectivity in native proteomes.

Abstract
In the present work, we describe a convenient synthesis of spiro-fused D-fructo- and D-psico-configurated oxazoline ligands and their application in asymmetric catalysis. The ligands were synthesized from readily available 3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranose and 3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-D-psicopyranose, respectively. The latter compounds were partially deprotected under acidic conditions followed by condensation with thiocyanic acid to give an anomeric mixture of the corresponding 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thiones. The anomeric 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thiones were separated after successive benzylation, fully characterized and subjected to palladium catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with 2-pyridineboronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester to give the corresponding 2-pyridyl spiro-oxazoline (PyOx) ligands. The spiro-oxazoline ligands showed high asymmetric induction (up to 93% ee) when applied as chiral ligands in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate with dimethyl malonate. The D-fructo-PyOx ligand provided mainly the (R)-enantiomer while the D-psico-configurated ligand gave the (S)-enantiomer with a lower enantiomeric excess.

Abstract
Many cellular processes are modulated by cyclic AMP and nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) regulate this second messenger by catalyzing its breakdown. The major unique function of testicular Leydig cells is to produce testosterone in response to luteinizing hormone (LH). Treatment of Leydig cells with PDE inhibitors increases cAMP levels and the activity of its downstream effector, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), leading to a series of kinase-dependent signaling and transcription events that ultimately increase testosterone release. We have recently shown that PDE4B and PDE4C as well as PDE8A and PDE8B are expressed in rodent Leydig cells and that combined inhibition of PDE4 and PDE8 leads to dramatically increased steroid biosynthesis. Here we investigated the effect of PDE4 and PDE8 inhibition on the molecular mechanisms of cAMP actions in a mouse MA10 Leydig cell line model with SILAC mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics. We treated MA10 cells either with PDE4 family specific inhibitor (Rolipram) and PDE8 family specific inhibitor (PF-04957325) alone or in combination and quantified the resulting phosphorylation changes at five different time points between 0 and 180min. We identified 28,336 phosphosites from 4837 proteins and observed significant regulation of 749 sites in response to PDE4 and PDE8 inhibitor treatment. Of these, 132 phosphosites were consensus PKA sites. Our data strongly suggest that PDE4 and PDE8 inhibitors synergistically regulate phosphorylation of proteins required for many different cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, lipid and glucose metabolism, transcription, endocytosis and vesicle transport. Our data suggests that cAMP, PDE4 and PDE8 coordinate steroidogenesis by acting on not one rate-limiting step but rather multiple pathways. Moreover, the pools of cAMP controlled by these PDEs also coordinate many other metabolic processes that may be regulated to assure timely and sufficient testosterone secretion in response to LH.

Abstract
![]()
Stable
isotope labeling is widely used to encode and quantify proteins
in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. We compared metabolic labeling
with stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)
and chemical labeling by stable isotope dimethyl labeling and find
that they have comparable accuracy and quantitative dynamic range
in unfractionated proteome analyses and affinity pull-down experiments.
Analyzing SILAC- and dimethyl-labeled samples together in single liquid
chromatography–mass spectrometric analyses minimizes differences
under analytical conditions, allowing comparisons of quantitative
errors introduced during sample processing. We find that SILAC is
more reproducible than dimethyl labeling. Because proteins from metabolically
labeled populations can be combined before proteolytic digestion,
SILAC is particularly suited to studies with extensive sample processing,
such as fractionation and enrichment of peptides with post-translational
modifications. We compared both methods in pull-down experiments using
a kinase inhibitor, dasatinib, and tagged GRB2-SH2 protein as affinity
baits. We describe a StageTip dimethyl-labeling protocol that we applied
to in-solution and in-gel protein digests. Comparing the impact of
post-digest isotopic labeling on quantitative accuracy, we demonstrate
how specific experimental designs can benefit most from metabolic
labeling approaches like SILAC and situations where chemical labeling
by stable isotope-dimethyl labeling can be a practical alternative.

Abstract
The ability to determine structure-activity relationships (SAR) and identify cellular targets from cell lysates and tissues is of great utility for kinase inhibitor drug discovery. We describe a streamlined mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomics workflow to examine the SAR and target profiles of a small library of kinase inhibitors that consists of the drug dasatinib and a panel of general type II inhibitors. By combining a simplified affinity enrichment and on-bead protein digestion workflow with quantitative proteomics, we achieved sensitive and specific enrichment of target kinases using our small molecule probes. We applied the affinity matrices in competition experiments with soluble probes in HeLa cell lysates using less than 1 mg of protein per experiment. Each pull-down experiment was analyzed in a single nano LC-MS run. Stringent selection criteria for target identification were applied to deduce 28 protein targets for dasatinib and 31 protein targets for our general type II kinase inhibitor in HeLa cell lysate. Additional kinase and protein targets were identified with the general type II inhibitor analogs, with small structural changes leading to divergent target profiles. We observed surprisingly high sequence coverage on some proteins, enabling further analyses of phosphorylation sites for several target kinases without additional sample processing. Our rapid workflow profiled cellular targets for six small molecules within a week, demonstrating that an unbiased proteomics screen of cellular targets yields valuable SAR information and may be incorporated at an early stage in kinase inhibitor development.
