Abstract
The β-cell plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, in part through the posttranslational modification of self-proteins by biochemical processes such as deamidation. These neoantigens are potential triggers for breaking immune tolerance. We report the detection by LC-MS/MS of 16 novel Gln and 27 novel Asn deamidations in 14 disease-related proteins within inflammatory cytokine-stressed human islets of Langerhans. T-cell clones responsive against one Gln- and three Asn-deamidated peptides could be isolated from peripheral blood of individuals with type 1 diabetes. Ex vivo HLA class II tetramer staining detected higher T-cell frequencies in individuals with the disease compared with control individuals. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the frequencies of T cells specific for deamidated peptides, insulin antibody levels at diagnosis, and duration of disease. These results highlight that stressed human islets are prone to enzymatic and biochemical deamidation and suggest that both Gln- and Asn-deamidated peptides can promote the activation and expansion of autoreactive CD4+ T cells. These findings add to the growing evidence that posttranslational modifications undermine tolerance and may open the road for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic applications for individuals living with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE TIPRL1 (target of rapamycin signaling pathway regulator-like 1) is a known interactor and inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP2A, PP4 and PP6 - all pleiotropic modulators of the DNA Damage Response (DDR). Here, we investigated the role of TIPRL1 in the radiotherapy (RT) response of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS TIPRL1 mRNA (cBioportal) and protein expression (immunohistochemistry) in HNSCC samples were linked with clinical patient data. TIPRL1-depleted HNSCC cells were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 editing, and effects on colony growth, micronuclei formation (microscopy), cell cycle (flow cytometry), DDR signaling (immunoblots) and proteome (mass spectrometry) following RT were assessed. Mass spectrometry was used for TIPRL1 phosphorylation and interactomics analysis in irradiated cells. RESULTS TIPRL1 expression was increased in tumor versus non-tumor tissue, with high tumoral TIPRL1 expression associating with lower locoregional control and decreased survival of RT-treated patients. TIPRL1 deletion in HNSCC cells resulted in increased RT sensitivity, a faster but prolonged cell cycle arrest, increased micronuclei formation and an altered proteome-wide DDR. Upon irradiation, ATM phosphorylates TIPRL1 at Ser265. A non-phospho Ser265Ala mutant could not rescue the increased radiosensitivity phenotype of TIPRL1-depleted cells. While binding to PP2A-like phosphatases was confirmed, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs), RAD51 recombinase and nucleosomal histones were identified as novel TIPRL1 interactors. Histone binding, although stimulated by RT, was adversely affected by TIPRL1 Ser265 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings underscore a clinically relevant role for TIPRL1 and its ATM-dependent phosphorylation in RT resistance through modulation of the DDR, highlighting its potential as a new HNSCC predictive marker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
ObjectiveMultiple spliceosome components are known autoantigens in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Here we aim to identify new and characterize rare anti-spliceosomal autoantibodies in patients with SSc without known autoantibody specificity. MethodsSera that precipitated spliceosome subcomplexes, as detected by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS), were identified from a database of 106 patients with SSc without known autoantibody specificity. New autoantibody specificities were confirmed with immunoprecipitation-western blot. The IP-MS pattern of new anti-spliceosomal autoantibodies was compared with anti-U1 RNP-positive sera of patients with different systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases and anti-SmD-positive sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 24). ResultsThe NineTeen Complex (NTC) was identified and confirmed as new spliceosomal autoantigen in one patient with SSc. U5 RNP, as well as additional splicing factors, were precipitated by the serum of another patient with SSc. The IP-MS patterns of anti-NTC and anti-U5 RNP autoantibodies were distinct from those of anti-U1 RNP- and anti-SmD-positive sera. Furthermore, there was no difference in IP-MS patterns between a limited number of anti-U1 RNP-positive sera of patients with different systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases. ConclusionAnti-NTC autoantibodies are a new anti-spliceosomal autoantibody specificity, here first identified in a patient with SSc. Anti-U5 RNP autoantibodies are a distinct but rare anti-spliceosomal autoantibody specificity. All major spliceosomal subcomplexes have now been described as target of autoantibodies in systemic autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. Current standard therapy is surgery followed by radiotherapy, with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy. GBM is characterized by almost uniformly fatal outcomes, highlighting the unmet clinical need for more efficient, biomarker-guided treatments. Protein phosphatase methylesterase-1 (PME-1), a regulator of the tumor suppressive phosphatase PP2A, promotes PP2A demethylation and inactivation, and is overexpressed in 44% of GBM, associated with increased tumor grade and cellular proliferation. Here, we aimed to investigate how reactive oxygen species (ROS), a frequent by-product of radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy, regulate PP2A function via its methylesterase PME-1, and how PME-1 overexpression impacts the response of GBM cells to oxidative stress. We found that in two glioblastoma cell lines, U87MG and U251MG, expression of PME-1 is positively correlated with the sensitivity of the cells to H2O2 or t-BHP-induced oxidative stress. Experiments using the irreversible pharmacologic PME-1 inhibitor, AMZ30, and different PME-1 mutants, revealed that the methylesterase function, the PP2A binding capacity, and the nuclear localization of PME-1 are all important for the sensitizing effect of PME-1 expression. Furthermore, we identified increased nuclear localization of the PP2A-B55α subunit, increased binding of PP2A-B55α to PME-1, and increased B55α-bound PP2A-C demethylation upon oxidative stress. Lastly, we uncovered increased stress-induced phosphorylation and activity of MAPKAPK2 and RIPK1 in PME-1 overexpressing U87MG cells, which caused the observed sensitization to t-BHP treatment. Our data reveal a novel role for PME-1 in oxidative stress-induced GBM cell death, regulating nuclear PP2A-B55α activity and MAPKAPK2-RIPK1 signaling. Patients with GBM tumors overexpressing PME-1, although having a worse prognosis due to increased cellular proliferation of the tumor, could actually be more responsive to oxidative stress-inducing therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a low survival, its incidence is rising and little therapeutic improvements are expected in the near future. It has been observed that Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes (including in PDAC) to a more aggressive cancer phenotype. Additionally, largely unexplored, studies indicate a mechanistic interplay between Protein Phosphatase Type 2A (PP2A) enzymes and EMT that could offer treatment opportunities. The aim was to investigate the relation of a PP2A expression signature (encompassing all PP2A subunits, endogenous inhibitors and activators) with EMT and aggressive pancreatic cancer, and to discuss possible implications. METHODS We retrieved different PDAC expression datasets from NCBI to capture the variation in patients, and analyzed these using datamining, survival analysis, differential gene and protein expression. We determined genes highly associated with aggressive PDAC. For in vitro evaluation, Panc-1 cells were treated with the pharmacologic PP2A inhibitor Okadaic Acid (OA). Additionally, two OA-resistant Panc-1 clones were developed and characterized. RESULTS In patients, there is a strong correlation between EMT and aggressive PDAC, and between aggressive PDAC and PP2A, with a significant upregulation of PP2A inhibitor genes. Several PP2A genes significantly correlated with decreased survival. In vitro, short-term exposure to OA induced EMT in Panc-1 cells. This shift towards EMT was further pronounced in the OA-resistant Panc-1 clones, morphologically and by pathway analysis. Proteomic analysis and gene sequencing showed that the advanced OA-resistant model most resembles the clinical PDAC presentation (with EMT signature, and with several specific PP2A genes upregulated, and others downregulated). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated a strong association between EMT, altered PP2A expression and aggressive PDAC in patients. Also, in vitro, PP2A inhibition induces EMT. Overall, statistics suggests the mechanistic importance of PP2A dysregulation for PDAC progression. Translationally, our observations indicate that pharmacologic restoration of PP2A activity could be an attractive therapeutic strategy to block or reverse progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a T-cell-mediated destruction of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells. A growing body of evidence suggests that abnormalities in neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation (NETosis) are associated with T1D pathophysiology. However, little information is available on whether these changes are primary neutrophil defects or related to the environmental signals encountered during active disease. METHODS In the present work, the NET proteome (NETome) of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)- and ionomycin-stimulated neutrophils from people with established T1D compared to healthy controls (HC) was studied by proteomic analysis. RESULTS Levels of NETosis, in addition to plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and NET markers, were comparable between T1D and HC subjects. However, the T1D NETome was distinct from that of HC in response to both stimuli. Quantitative analysis revealed that the T1D NETome was enriched in proteins belonging to metabolic pathways (i.e., phosphoglycerate kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase). Complementary metabolic profiling revealed that the rate of extracellular acidification, an approximate measure for glycolysis, and mitochondrial respiration were similar between T1D and HC neutrophils in response to both stimuli. CONCLUSION The NETome of people with established T1D was enriched in metabolic proteins without an apparent alteration in the bio-energetic profile or dysregulated NETosis. This may reflect an adaptation mechanism employed by activated T1D neutrophils to avoid impaired glycolysis and consequently excessive or suboptimal NETosis, pivotal in innate immune defence and the resolution of inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To discover new and detect known antisynthetase autoantibodies (ASAs) through protein immunoprecipitation combined with gel-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (IP-MS). METHODS IP-MS was performed using sera of individuals showing features of antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) without (n=5) and with (n=12) previously detected ASAs, and healthy controls (n=4). New candidate aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase (ARS) autoantigens identified through unbiased IP-MS were confirmed by IP-western blot. A targeted IP-MS assay for various ASA specificities was developed and validated with sera of patients with known ASAs (n=16), disease controls (n=20) and healthy controls (n=25). The targeted IP-MS assay was applied in an additional cohort of patients with multiple ASyS features or isolated myositis without previously detected ASAs (n=26). RESULTS Autoantibodies to cytoplasmic cysteinyl-tRNA-synthetase (CARS1) were identified by IP-MS and confirmed by western blot as a new ASA specificity, named anti-Ly, in the serum of a patient with ASyS features. Rare ASAs, such as anti-OJ, anti-Zo and anti-KS, and common ASAs could also be identified by IP-MS. A targeted IP-MS approach for ASA detection was developed and validated. Application of this method in an additional cohort identified an additional patient with anti-OJ autoantibodies that were missed by line and dot immunoassays. DISCUSSION CARS1 is the dominant cognate ARS autoantigen of the newly discovered anti-Ly ASA specificity. Rare and common ASA specificities could be detected by both unbiased and targeted IP-MS. Unbiased and targeted IP-MS are promising methods for discovery and detection of autoantibodies, especially autoantibodies that target complex autoantigens.

Abstract
A high prevalence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in COVID-19 has been insinuated, but the nature of the target antigens is poorly understood. We studied ANA by indirect immunofluorescence in 229 individuals with COVID-19. The target antigens of high titer ANA (≥1:320) were determined by immunoprecipitation (IP) combined with liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS). High titer ANA (≥1:320) were found in 14 (6%) of the individuals with COVID-19. Of the 14 COVID-19 cases with high titer ANA, 6 had an underlying autoimmune disease and 5 a malignancy. IP-MS revealed known target antigens associated with autoimmune disease as well as novel autoantigens, including CDK9 (in systemic sclerosis) and RNF20, RCC1 and TRIP13 (in malignancy). The novel autoantigens were confirmed by IP-Western blotting. In conclusion, in depth analysis of the targets of high titer ANA revealed novel autoantigens in systemic sclerosis and in malignant disease.

Abstract
The protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) heterotrimer PP2A-B56α is a human tumour suppressor. However, the molecular mechanisms inhibiting PP2A-B56α in cancer are poorly understood. Here, we report molecular level details and structural mechanisms of PP2A-B56α inhibition by an oncoprotein CIP2A. Upon direct binding to PP2A-B56α trimer, CIP2A displaces the PP2A-A subunit and thereby hijacks both the B56α, and the catalytic PP2Ac subunit to form a CIP2A-B56α-PP2Ac pseudotrimer. Further, CIP2A competes with B56α substrate binding by blocking the LxxIxE-motif substrate binding pocket on B56α. Relevant to oncogenic activity of CIP2A across human cancers, the N-terminal head domain-mediated interaction with B56α stabilizes CIP2A protein. Functionally, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated single amino acid mutagenesis of the head domain blunted MYC expression and MEK phosphorylation, and abrogated triple-negative breast cancer in vivo tumour growth. Collectively, we discover a unique multi-step hijack and mute protein complex regulation mechanism resulting in tumour suppressor PP2A-B56α inhibition. Further, the results unfold a structural determinant for the oncogenic activity of CIP2A, potentially facilitating therapeutic modulation of CIP2A in cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are associated with several autoimmune diseases. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells is the golden standard for ANA detection in the clinic. In case of a positive HEp-2 IIF test result, follow-up tests are done to determine autoantibody specificity. For a fraction of the HEp-2 IIF-positive samples, the nature of the autoantigens remains uncharacterized. Our objective was to characterize autoantigens in such samples. METHODS To characterize autoantigens in an unbiased way, we combined protein immunoprecipitation with liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) sequencing. RESULTS Using such approach we detected the Ki antigen, also referred to as PA28γ, in the immunoprecipitate of serum samples of three individuals with an autoimmune disease. The HEp-2 nuclear speckled IIF fluorescent signal of all three serum samples was abolished after pre-absorption of the serum with recombinant Ki antigen, confirming that autoantibodies against Ki underlie the HEp-2 IIF signal. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that anti-Ki autoantibodies can underlie a nuclear speckled HEp-2 IIF pattern.

Abstract
PURPOSE In up to 20% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) no known autoantibody specificity can be identified. Recently discovered autoantigens, such as telomeric repeat binding factor 1 (TERF1), as well as established autoantigens, like RuvBL1/2, are associated with telomere and telomerase biology. We aimed to identify new telomere- and telomerase-associated autoantigens in patients with SSc without known autoantibody specificity. METHODS Unlabelled protein immunoprecipitation combined with gel-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (IP-MS) was performed with sera of 106 patients with SSc from two tertiary referral centres that had a nuclear pattern on HEp-2 indirect immunofluorescence without previously identified autoantibody. Telomere- or telomerase-associated proteins or protein complexes precipitated by individual sera were identified. Candidate autoantigens were confirmed through immunoprecipitation-western blot (IP-WB). A custom Luminex xMAP assay for 5 proteins was evaluated with sera from persons with SSc (n = 467), other systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (n = 923), non-rheumatic disease controls (n = 187) and healthy controls (n = 199). RESULTS Eight telomere- and telomerase-associated autoantigens were identified in a total of 11 index patients, including the THO complex (n = 3, all with interstitial lung disease and two with cardiac involvement), telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TERF2, n = 1), homeobox-containing protein 1 (HMBOX1, n = 2), regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1, n = 1), nucleolar and coiled-body phosphoprotein 1 (NOLC1, n = 1), dyskerin (DKC1, n = 1), probable 28S rRNA (cytosine(4447)-C(5))-methyltransferase (NOP2, n = 1) and nuclear valosin-containing protein-like (NVL, n = 2). A Luminex xMAP assay for THO complex subunit 1 (THOC1), TERF2, NOLC1, NOP2 and NVL revealed high reactivity in all index patients, but also in other patients with SSc and disease controls. However, the reactivity by xMAP assay in these other patients was not confirmed by IP-WB. CONCLUSION IP-MS revealed key telomere- and telomerase-associated proteins and protein complexes as autoantigens in patients with SSc.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major type of primary liver cancer. In this chapter, we describe our routine two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) workflow for analysis of mouse liver tissue in physiological conditions, as well as of mouse HCC. 2D-DIGE still constitutes a valuable comparative proteomics technique, not only providing information on global protein expression in a sample but also on potential posttranslational protein modifications, occurrence of protein degradation fragments, and the existence of protein isoforms. Thus, 2D-DIGE analysis provides highly complementary data to non-gel-based shotgun mass spectrometry (MS) methods (e.g., liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS)-allowing, for example, identification of novel protein biomarkers for HCC or increasing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Pre-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infection can boost protection elicited by COVID-19 vaccination and post-vaccination breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection can boost existing immunity conferred by COVID-19 vaccination. Such 'hybrid immunity' is effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants. In order to understand 'hybrid immunity' at the molecular level we studied the complementarity determining regions (CDR) of anti-RBD (receptor binding domain) antibodies isolated from individuals with 'hybrid immunity' as well as from 'naive' (not SARS-CoV-2 infected) vaccinated individuals. CDR analysis was done by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis and partial least square differential analysis showed that COVID-19 vaccinated people share CDR profiles and that pre-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infection or breakthrough infection further shape the CDR profile, with a CDR profile in hybrid immunity that clustered away from the CDR profile in vaccinated people without infection. Thus, our results show a CDR profile in hybrid immunity that is distinct from the vaccination-induced CDR profile.

Abstract
As the reversible oxidation of protein cysteine thiols is an important mechanism in signal transduction, it is essential to have access to experimental approaches that allow for spatiotemporal indexing of the cellular sulfenome in response to local changes in H2O2 levels. Here, we provide a step-by-step guide for enriching and identifying the sulfenome of mammalian cells at the subcellular level in response to peroxisome-derived H2O2 by the combined use of (i) a previously developed cell line in which peroxisomal H2O2 production can be induced in a time- and dose-dependent manner; (ii) YAP1C, a genetically encoded yeast AP-1-like transcription factor-based probe that specifically reacts with S-sulfenylated cysteines and traps them through mixed disulfide bonds; and (iii) mass spectrometry. Given that this approach includes differential labeling of reduced and reversibly oxidized cysteine residues, it can also provide additional information on the positions of the modified cysteines. Gaining more in-depth insight into the complex nature of how alterations in peroxisomal H2O2 metabolism modulate the cellular sulfenome is key to our understanding of how these organelles act as redox signaling hubs in health and disease.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle holds an intrinsic capability of growth and regeneration both in physiological conditions and in case of injury. Chronic muscle illnesses, generally caused by genetic and acquired factors, lead to deconditioning of the skeletal muscle structure and function, and are associated with a significant loss in muscle mass. At the same time, progressive muscle wasting is a hallmark of aging. Given the paracrine properties of myogenic stem cells, extracellular vesicle-derived signals have been studied for their potential implication in both the pathogenesis of degenerative neuromuscular diseases and as a possible therapeutic target. In this study, we screened the content of extracellular vesicles from animal models of muscle hypertrophy and muscle wasting associated with chronic disease and aging. Analysis of the transcriptome, protein cargo, and microRNAs (miRNAs) allowed us to identify a hypertrophic miRNA signature amenable for targeting muscle wasting, consisting of miR-1 and miR-208a. We tested this signature among others in vitro on mesoangioblasts (MABs), vessel-associated adult stem cells, and we observed an increase in the efficiency of myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, injections of miRNA-treated MABs in aged mice resulted in an improvement in skeletal muscle features, such as muscle weight, strength, cross-sectional area, and fibrosis compared to controls. Overall, we provide evidence that the extracellular vesicle-derived miRNA signature we identified enhances the myogenic potential of myogenic stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variants in PPP2R5D, affecting the regulatory B56δ subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), have been identified in individuals with neurodevelopmental abnormalities. However, the molecular and clinical spectra remain incompletely understood. METHODS Individuals with PPP2R5D variants were enrolled through Simons Variation in Individuals Project/Simons Searchlight. Data were collected from medical history interviews, medical record review, online validated instruments and neuroimaging review. Genetic variants were biochemically characterised. RESULTS We studied 76 individuals with PPP2R5D variants, including 68 with pathogenic de novo variants, four with a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) and four siblings with a novel dominantly inherited pathogenic variant. Among 13 pathogenic variants, eight were novel and two (p.Glu198Lys and p.Glu200Lys) were highly recurrent. Functional analysis revealed impaired PP2A A/C-subunit binding, decreased short linear interaction motif-dependent substrate binding or both-with the most severe phenotypes associated with variants that completely retained one of these binding characteristics and lost the other-further supporting a dominant-negative disease mechanism. p.Glu198Lys showed the highest C-binding defect and a more severe clinical phenotype. The inherited p.Glu197Gly variant had a mild substrate binding defect, and three of four VUS had no biochemical impact. Common clinical phenotypes were language, intellectual or learning disabilities (80.6%), hypotonia (75.0%), macrocephaly (66.7%), seizures (45.8%) and autism spectrum disorder (26.4%). The mean composite Vineland score was 59.8, and most participants were in the 'moderate to low' and 'low' adaptive levels in all domains. CONCLUSION Our study delineates the most common features of PPP2R5D-related neurodevelopmental disorders, expands the clinical and molecular spectrum and identifies genotype-phenotype correlations.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain causing either familial or sporadic dementia. We have previously administered the modified C5a receptor agonist (EP67) for a short period to a transgenic mouse model of AD (5XFAD) and have observed not only reduction in β-amyloid deposition and gliosis but also improvement in cognitive impairment. Inquiring, however, on the effects of EP67 in an already heavily burdened animal, thus representing a more realistic scenario, we treated 6-month-old 5XFAD mice for a period of 14 weeks. We recorded a significant decrease in both fibrillar and pre-fibrillar β-amyloid as well as remarkable amelioration of cognitive impairment. Following proteomic analysis and pathway association, we postulate that these events are triggered through the upregulation of β-adrenergic and GABAergic signaling. In summary, our results reveal how inflammatory responses can be employed in inducing tangible phenotype improvements even in advanced stages of AD.

Abstract
The protection mediated by the bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) declines during Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, especially in patients carrying the apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) isoform. The drug FTY720 mimics S1P bioactivity, but its efficacy in treating AD is unclear. Two doses of FTY720 (0.1 mg / kg and 0.5 mg / kg daily) were given by oral gavage for 15 weeks to transgenic mouse models of familial AD carrying human apolipoprotein E (APOE) APOE3 (E3FAD) or APOE4 (E4FAD). After 12 weeks of treatment, animals were subjected to behavioral tests for memory, locomotion, and anxiety. Blood was withdrawn at different time points and brains were collected for sphingolipids analysis by mass spectrometry, gene expression by RT-PCR and Aβ quantification by ELISA. We discovered that low levels of S1P in the plasma is associated with a higher probability of failing the memory test and that FTY720 prevents memory impairments in E4FAD. The beneficial effect of FTY720 was induced by a shift of the sphingolipid metabolism in the brain towards a lower production of toxic metabolites, like ceramide d18:1/16:0 and d18:1/22:0, and reduction of amyloid-β burden and inflammation. In conclusion, we provide further evidence of the druggability of the sphingolipid system in AD.

Abstract
The involvement of peroxisomes in cellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) metabolism has been a central theme since their first biochemical characterization by Christian de Duve in 1965. While the role of H2O2 substantially changed from an exclusively toxic molecule to a signaling messenger, the regulatory role of peroxisomes in these signaling events is still largely underappreciated. This is mainly because the number of known protein targets of peroxisome-derived H2O2 is rather limited and testing of specific targets is predominantly based on knowledge previously gathered in related fields of research. To gain a broader and more systematic insight into the role of peroxisomes in redox signaling, new approaches are urgently needed. In this study, we have combined a previously developed Flp-In T-REx 293 cell system in which peroxisomal H2O2 production can be modulated with a yeast AP-1-like-based sulfenome mining strategy to inventory protein thiol targets of peroxisome-derived H2O2 in different subcellular compartments. By using this approach, we identified more than 400 targets of peroxisome-derived H2O2 in peroxisomes, the cytosol, and mitochondria. We also observed that the sulfenylation kinetics profiles of key targets belonging to different protein families (e.g., peroxiredoxins, annexins, and tubulins) can vary considerably. In addition, we obtained compelling but indirect evidence that peroxisome-derived H2O2 may oxidize at least some of its targets (e.g., transcription factors) through a redox relay mechanism. In conclusion, given that sulfenic acids function as key intermediates in H2O2 signaling, the findings presented in this study provide valuable insight into how peroxisomes may be integrated into the cellular H2O2 signaling network.

Abstract
Mounting evidence indicates that immunogenic therapies engaging the unfolded protein response (UPR) following endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress favor proficient cancer cell-immune interactions, by stimulating the release of immunomodulatory/proinflammatory factors by stressed or dying cancer cells. UPR-driven transcription of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines exert beneficial or detrimental effects on tumor growth and antitumor immunity, but the cell-autonomous machinery governing the cancer cell inflammatory output in response to immunogenic therapies remains poorly defined. Here, we profiled the transcriptome of cancer cells responding to immunogenic or weakly immunogenic treatments. Bioinformatics-driven pathway analysis indicated that immunogenic treatments instigated a NF-κB/AP-1-inflammatory stress response, which dissociated from both cell death and UPR. This stress-induced inflammation was specifically abolished by the IRE1α-kinase inhibitor KIRA6. Supernatants from immunogenic chemotherapy and KIRA6 co-treated cancer cells were deprived of proinflammatory/chemoattractant factors and failed to mobilize neutrophils and induce dendritic cell maturation. Furthermore, KIRA6 significantly reduced the in vivo vaccination potential of dying cancer cells responding to immunogenic chemotherapy. Mechanistically, we found that the anti-inflammatory effect of KIRA6 was still effective in IRE1α-deficient cells, indicating a hitherto unknown off-target effector of this IRE1α-kinase inhibitor. Generation of a KIRA6-clickable photoaffinity probe, mass spectrometry, and co-immunoprecipitation analysis identified cytosolic HSP60 as a KIRA6 off-target in the IKK-driven NF-κB pathway. In sum, our study unravels that HSP60 is a KIRA6-inhibitable upstream regulator of the NF-κB/AP-1-inflammatory stress responses evoked by immunogenic treatments. It also urges caution when interpreting the anti-inflammatory action of IRE1α chemical inhibitors.

Abstract
Growing evidence supports the importance of the p53 tumor suppressor in metabolism but the mechanisms underlying p53-mediated control of metabolism remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the multifunctional E4F1 protein as a key regulator of p53 metabolic functions in adipocytes. While E4F1 expression is upregulated during obesity, E4f1 inactivation in mouse adipose tissue results in a lean phenotype associated with insulin resistance and protection against induced obesity. Adipocytes lacking E4F1 activate a p53-dependent transcriptional program involved in lipid metabolism. The direct interaction between E4F1 and p53 and their co-recruitment to the Steaoryl-CoA Desaturase-1 locus play an important role to regulate monounsaturated fatty acids synthesis in adipocytes. Consistent with the role of this E4F1-p53-Steaoryl-CoA Desaturase-1 axis in adipocytes, p53 inactivation or diet complementation with oleate partly restore adiposity and improve insulin sensitivity in E4F1-deficient mice. Altogether, our findings identify a crosstalk between E4F1 and p53 in the control of lipid metabolism in adipocytes that is relevant to obesity and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Background Approximately 1000 protein encoding genes common for vertebrates are still unannotated in avian genomes. Are these genes evolutionary lost or are they not yet found for technical reasons? Using genome landscapes as a tool to visualize large-scale regional effects of genome evolution, we reexamined this question. Results On basis of gene annotation in non-avian vertebrate genomes, we established a list of 15,135 common vertebrate genes. Of these, 1026 were not found in any of eight examined bird genomes. Visualizing regional genome effects by our sliding window approach showed that the majority of these "missing" genes can be clustered to 14 regions of the human reference genome. In these clusters, an additional 1517 genes (often gene fragments) were underrepresented in bird genomes. The clusters of “missing” genes coincided with regions of very high GC content, particularly in avian genomes, making them “hidden” because of incomplete sequencing. Moreover, proteins encoded by genes in these sequencing refractory regions showed signs of accelerated protein evolution. As a proof of principle for this idea we experimentally characterized the mRNA and protein products of four "hidden" bird genes that are crucial for energy homeostasis in skeletal muscle: ALDOA, ENO3, PYGM and SLC2A4. Conclusions A least part of the “missing” genes in bird genomes can be attributed to an artifact caused by the difficulty to sequence regions with extreme GC% (“hidden” genes). Biologically, these “hidden” genes are of interest as they encode proteins that evolve more rapidly than the genome wide average. Finally we show that four of these “hidden” genes encode key proteins for energy metabolism in flight muscle.

Abstract
Dysregulated lipid metabolism is a prominent feature of prostate cancer that is driven by androgen receptor (AR) signaling. Here we used quantitative mass spectrometry to define the "lipidome" in prostate tumors with matched benign tissues (n=21), independent unmatched tissues (n=47), and primary prostate explants cultured with the clinical AR antagonist enzalutamide (n=43). Significant differences in lipid composition were detected and spatially visualized in tumors compared to matched benign samples. Notably, tumors featured higher proportions of monounsaturated lipids overall and elongated fatty acid chains in phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine lipids. Significant associations between lipid profile and malignancy were validated in unmatched samples, and phospholipid composition was characteristically altered in patient tissues that responded to AR inhibition. Importantly, targeting tumor-related lipid features via inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 significantly reduced cellular proliferation and induced apoptosis in tissue explants. This first characterization of the prostate cancer lipidome in clinical tissues reveals enhanced fatty acid synthesis, elongation, and desaturation as tumor-defining features, with potential for therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major type of primary liver cancer. Mice lacking the tumor-suppressive protein phosphatase 2A subunit B56δ (Ppp2r5d) spontaneously develop HCC, correlating with increased c-MYC oncogenicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis-coupled matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry to identify differential proteomes of livers from wild-type, non-cancerous and HCC-affected B56δ knockout mice. RESULTS A total of 23 proteins were differentially expressed/regulated in liver between wild-type and non-cancerous knockout mice, and 119 between non-cancerous and HCC knockout mice ('cancer proteins'). Overlap with our reported differential transcriptome data was poor. Overall, 56% of cancer proteins were reported before in HCC proteomics studies; 44% were novel. Gene Ontology analysis revealed cancer proteins mainly associated with liver metabolism (18%) and mitochondria (15%). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified 'cancer' and 'gastrointestinal disease' as top hits. CONCLUSION We identified several proteins for further exploration as novel potential HCC biomarkers, and independently underscored the relevance of Ppp2r5d knockout mice as a valuable hepatocarcinogenesis model.

Abstract
The androgen receptor (AR) is the key oncogenic driver of prostate cancer, and despite implementation of novel AR targeting therapies, outcomes for metastatic disease remain dismal. There is an urgent need to better understand androgen-regulated cellular processes to more effectively target the AR dependence of prostate cancer cells through new therapeutic vulnerabilities. Transcriptomic studies have consistently identified lipid metabolism as a hallmark of enhanced AR signaling in prostate cancer, yet the relationship between AR and the lipidome remains undefined. Using mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, this study reveals increased fatty acyl chain length in phospholipids from prostate cancer cells and patient-derived explants as one of the most striking androgen-regulated changes to lipid metabolism. Potent and direct AR-mediated induction of ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5 (ELOVL5), an enzyme that catalyzes fatty acid elongation, was demonstrated in prostate cancer cells, xenografts, and clinical tumors. Assessment of mRNA and protein in large-scale data sets revealed ELOVL5 as the predominant ELOVL expressed and upregulated in prostate cancer compared with nonmalignant prostate. ELOVL5 depletion markedly altered mitochondrial morphology and function, leading to excess generation of reactive oxygen species and resulting in suppression of prostate cancer cell proliferation, 3D growth, and in vivo tumor growth and metastasis. Supplementation with the monounsaturated fatty acid cis-vaccenic acid, a direct product of ELOVL5 elongation, reversed the oxidative stress and associated cell proliferation and migration effects of ELOVL5 knockdown. Collectively, these results identify lipid elongation as a protumorigenic metabolic pathway in prostate cancer that is androgen-regulated, critical for metastasis, and targetable via ELOVL5. SIGNIFICANCE: This study identifies phospholipid elongation as a new metabolic target of androgen action that is critical for prostate tumor metastasis.

Abstract
We recently reported that the ER stress kinase PERK regulates ER-mitochondria appositions and ER- plasma membrane (ER-PM) contact sites, independent of its canonical role in the unfolded protein response. PERK regulation of ER-PM contacts was revealed by a proximity biotinylation (BioID) approach and involved a dynamic PERK-Filamin A interaction supporting the formation of ER-PM contacts by actin-cytoskeleton remodeling in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+ stores. In this report, we further interrogated the PERK BioID interactome by validating through co-IP experiments the interaction between PERK and two proteins involved in Ca2+ handling and ER-mitochondria contact sites. These included the vesicle associated membrane (VAMP)-associated proteins (VAPA/B) and the main ER Ca2+ pump sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase 2 (SERCA2). These data identify new putative PERK interacting proteins with a crucial role in membrane contact sites and Ca2+ signaling further supporting the uncanonical role of PERK in Ca2+ signaling through membrane contact sites (MCSs).

Abstract
Enzymatic deamidation, the conversion of glutamine (Gln) into glutamic acid (Glu) residues, mediated by tissue transglutaminase enzymes, can provoke autoimmunity by generating altered self-epitopes, a process well-known in celiac disease and more recently also described in type 1 diabetes (T1D). To identify deamidated proteins, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is the method of choice. However, as nonenzymatic deamidations on asparagine (Asn) and to a minor extent on Gln are frequently induced in vitro during proteomics sample preparation, the accurate detection of in vivo deamidation can be hampered. Here we report on the optimization of a method to reduce in vitro generated deamidation by 70% using improved trypsin digestion conditions (90 min/pH 8). We also point to the critical importance of manual inspection of MS2 spectra, considering that only 55% of the high quality peptides with Gln deamidation were assigned correctly using an automated search algorithm. As proof of principal, using these criteria, we showed a significant increase in levels of both Asn and Gln deamidation in cytokine-exposed murine MIN6 β-cells, paralleled by an increase in tissue transglutaminase activity. These findings add evidence to the hypothesis that deamidation is occurring in stressed β-cell proteins and can be involved in the autoimmune process in T1D.

Abstract
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) is one of three endoplasmic reticulum stress sensors. Upon activation of its kinase domain, IRE1α splices the mRNA substrate XBP1, which activates the unfolded protein response. IRE1α has emerged as a therapeutic target as its hyperactivation is implicated in various diseases. Kinase inhibiting RNase attenuator 6 (KIRA6) is an allosteric IRE1α inhibitor targeting the ATP binding pocket, resulting in effective blockage of the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway in mouse models of diabetes and pain. However, recent studies indicate that KIRA6 is not as selective as initially thought. Here, we developed a photoaffinity-based KIRA6 probe to reveal its selectivity. Surprisingly, the majority of off-targets that we identified were not protein kinases but mostly nucleotide-binding proteins. Furthermore, we found that the promiscuous off-target profile of KIRA6 is not cell-line-dependent. Overall, this study calls for caution when KIRA6 is used in IRE1α-targeted studies and illustrates the power of kinase photoaffinity probes.

Abstract
Phosphoprotein phosphatase‐1 (PP1) is a key player in the regulation of phospho‐serine (pSer) and phospho‐threonine (pThr) dephosphorylation and is involved in a large fraction of cellular signaling pathways. Aberrant activity of PP1 has been linked to many diseases, including cancer and heart failure. Besides a well‐established activity control by regulatory proteins, an inhibitory function for phosphorylation (p) of a Thr residue in the C‐terminal intrinsically disordered tail of PP1 has been demonstrated. The associated phenotype of cell‐cycle arrest was repeatedly proposed to be due to autoinhibition of PP1 through either conformational changes or substrate competition. Here, we use PP1 variants created by mutations and protein semisynthesis to differentiate between these hypotheses. Our data support the hypothesis that pThr exerts its inhibitory function by mediating protein complex formation rather than by a direct mechanism of structural changes or substrate competition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), most likely via enteric neurons, prevents postoperative ileus (POI) by reducing activation of alpha7 nicotinic receptor (α7nAChR) positive muscularis macrophages (mMφ) and dampening surgery-induced intestinal inflammation. Here, we evaluated if 5-HT4 receptor (5-HT4R) agonist prucalopride can mimic this effect in mice and human. DESIGN Using Ca2+ imaging, the effect of electrical field stimulation (EFS) and prucalopride was evaluated in situ on mMφ activation evoked by ATP in jejunal muscularis tissue. Next, preoperative and postoperative administration of prucalopride (1-5 mg/kg) was compared with that of preoperative VNS in a model of POI in wild-type and α7nAChR knockout mice. Finally, in a pilot study, patients undergoing a Whipple procedure were preoperatively treated with prucalopride (n=10), abdominal VNS (n=10) or sham/placebo (n=10) to evaluate the effect on intestinal inflammation and clinical recovery of POI. RESULTS EFS reduced the ATP-induced Ca2+ response of mMφ, an effect that was dampened by neurotoxins tetrodotoxin and ω-conotoxin and mimicked by prucalopride. In vivo, prucalopride administered before, but not after abdominal surgery reduced intestinal inflammation and prevented POI in wild-type, but not in α7nAChR knockout mice. In humans, preoperative administration of prucalopride, but not of VNS, decreased Il6 and Il8 expression in the muscularis externa and improved clinical recovery. CONCLUSION Enteric neurons dampen mMφ activation, an effect mimicked by prucalopride. Preoperative, but not postoperative treatment with prucalopride prevents intestinal inflammation and shortens POI in both mice and human, indicating that preoperative administration of 5-HT4R agonists should be further evaluated as a treatment of POI. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02425774.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) performs active reuptake of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and is a major regulator of cardiac muscle contractility. Dysfunction or dysregulation of SERCA2a is associated with heart failure, while restoring its function is considered as a therapeutic strategy to restore cardiac performance. However, its structure has not yet been determined. Based on native, active protein purified from pig ventricular muscle, we present the first crystal structures of SERCA2a, determined in the CPA-stabilized E2-AlF4- form (3.3 Å) and the Ca2+-occluded [Ca2]E1-AMPPCP form (4.0 Å). The structures are similar to the skeletal muscle isoform SERCA1a pointing to a conserved mechanism. We seek to explain the kinetic differences between SERCA1a and SERCA2a. We find that several isoform-specific residues are acceptor sites for post-translational modifications. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations predict that isoform-specific residues support distinct intramolecular interactions in SERCA2a and SERCA1a. Our experimental observations further indicate that isoform-specific intramolecular interactions are functionally relevant, and may explain the kinetic differences between SERCA2a and SERCA1a.

Abstract
The β-cell has become recognized as a central player in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes with the generation of neoantigens as potential triggers for breaking immune tolerance. We report that posttranslationally modified glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is a novel autoantigen in human type 1 diabetes. When human islets were exposed to inflammatory stress induced by interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ, arginine residue R510 within GRP78 was converted into citrulline, as evidenced by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This conversion, known as citrullination, led to the generation of neoepitopes, which effectively could be presented by HLA-DRB1*04:01 molecules. With the use of HLA-DRB1*04:01 tetramers and ELISA techniques, we demonstrate enhanced antigenicity of citrullinated GRP78 with significantly increased CD4+ T-cell responses and autoantibody titers in patients with type 1 diabetes compared with healthy control subjects. Of note, patients with type 1 diabetes had a predominantly higher percentage of central memory cells and a lower percentage of effector memory cells directed against citrullinated GRP78 compared with the native epitope. These results strongly suggest that citrullination of β-cell proteins, exemplified here by the citrullination of GRP78, contributes to loss of self-tolerance toward β-cells in human type 1 diabetes, indicating that β-cells actively participate in their own demise.

Abstract
The protein Ser/Thr phosphatase PP1 catalyzes an important fraction of protein dephosphorylation events and forms highly specific holoenzymes through an association with regulatory interactors of protein phosphatase one (RIPPOs). The functional characterization of individual PP1 holoenzymes is hampered by the lack of straightforward strategies for substrate mapping. Because efficient substrate recruitment often involves binding to both PP1 and its associated RIPPO, here we examined whether PP1-RIPPO fusions can be used to trap substrates for further analysis. Fusions of an hypoactive point mutant of PP1 and either of four tested RIPPOs accumulated in HEK293T cells with their associated substrates and were co-immunoprecipitated for subsequent identification of the substrates by immunoblotting or MS analysis. Hypoactive fusions were also used to study RIPPOs themselves as substrates for associated PP1. In contrast, substrate trapping was barely detected with active PP1-RIPPO fusions or with nonfused PP1 or RIPPO subunits. Our results suggest that hypoactive fusions of PP1 subunits represent an easy-to-use tool for substrate identification of individual holoenzymes.

Abstract
The protein kinase D (PKD) family is regulated through multi-site phosphorylation, including autophosphorylation. For example, PKD displays in vivo autophosphorylation on Ser-742 (and Ser-738 in vitro) in the activation loop and Ser-910 in the C-tail (hPKD1 numbering). In this paper, we describe the surprising observation that PKD also displays in vitro autocatalytic activity towards a Tyr residue in the P + 1 loop of the activation segment. We define the molecular determinants for this unusual activity and identify a Cys residue (C705 in PKD1) in the catalytic loop as of utmost importance. In cells, PKD Tyr autophosphorylation is suppressed through the association of an inhibitory factor. Our findings provide important novel insights into PKD (auto)regulation.

Abstract
SAMHD1 is a critical restriction factor for HIV-1 in non-cycling cells and its antiviral activity is regulated by T592 phosphorylation. Here, we show that SAMHD1 dephosphorylation at T592 is controlled during the cell cycle, occurring during M/G1 transition in proliferating cells. Using several complementary proteomics and biochemical approaches, we identify the phosphatase PP2A-B55α responsible for rendering SAMHD1 antivirally active. SAMHD1 is specifically targeted by PP2A-B55α holoenzymes during mitotic exit, in line with observations that PP2A-B55α is a key mitotic exit phosphatase in mammalian cells. Strikingly, as HeLa or activated primary CD4+ T cells enter the G1 phase, pronounced reduction of RT products is observed upon HIV-1 infection dependent on the presence of dephosphorylated SAMHD1. Moreover, PP2A controls SAMHD1 pT592 level in non-cycling monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Thus, the PP2A-B55α holoenzyme is a key regulator to switch on the antiviral activity of SAMHD1.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer and androgen receptor (AR) is the major driver of the disease. Here we show that Enoyl-CoA delta isomerase 2 (ECI2) is a novel AR-target that promotes prostate cancer cell survival. Increased ECI2 expression predicts mortality in prostate cancer patients (p = 0.0086). ECI2 encodes for an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, and we use multiple metabolite profiling platforms and RNA-seq to show that inhibition of ECI2 expression leads to decreased glucose utilization, accumulation of fatty acids and down-regulation of cell cycle related genes. In normal cells, decrease in fatty acid degradation is compensated by increased consumption of glucose, and here we demonstrate that prostate cancer cells are not able to respond to decreased fatty acid degradation. Instead, prostate cancer cells activate incomplete autophagy, which is followed by activation of the cell death response. Finally, we identified a clinically approved compound, perhexiline, which inhibits fatty acid degradation, and replicates the major findings for ECI2 knockdown. This work shows that prostate cancer cells require lipid degradation for survival and identifies a small molecule inhibitor with therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Serotype-independent protein-based pneumococcal vaccines represent attractive alternatives to capsular polysaccharide-based vaccines. The aim of this study was to identify novel immunogenic proteins from Streptococcus pneumoniae that may be used in protein-based pneumococcal vaccine. An immunoproteomics approach and a humanized severe combined immunodeficient mouse model were used to identify S. pneumoniae proteins that are immunogenic for the human immune system. Among the several proteins identified, SP1683 was selected, recombinantly produced, and infection and colonization murine models were used to evaluate the capacity of SP1683 to elicit protective responses, in comparison to known pneumococcal immunogenic proteins (PhtD and detoxified pneumolysin, dPly). Immunisation with SP1683 elicited a weaker antibody response than immunisation with PhtD and did not provide protection in the model of invasive disease. However, similar to PhtD, it was able to significantly reduce colonization in the mouse model of nasopharyngeal carriage. Treatment with anti-IL17A and anti-IL17F antibodies abolished the protection against colonization elicited by SP1683 or PhtD + dPly, which indicated that the protection afforded in this model was Th17-dependent. In conclusion, intranasal immunization with the pneumococcal protein SP1683 conferred IL17-dependent protection against nasopharyngeal carriage in mice, but systemic immunization did not protect against invasive disease. These results do not support the use of SP1683 as an isolated pneumococcal vaccine antigen. Nevertheless, SP1683 could be used as a first line of defence in formulations combining several proteins.

Abstract
Abstract
The protein kinase D (PKD) family of kinases belongs to the CAMK group and consists of three highly homologous enzymes. They play a versatile role in cancer cell signaling, primarily downstream of PKC isoforms. Classically PKDs are activated upon co-localization with PKC at DAG containing membranes, where PKC phosphorylates the PKD activation loop, generating active PKD. Besides this, PKDs are also activated in oxidative stress conditions, where PKD1 protects against cellular damage via signaling to NF-kB. While the three isoforms are highly homologous, they are not redundant in their biological function and oncogenic potential. A picture has emerged which associates PKD1 expression and activity with decreased migration and inhibition of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). PKD2 and PKD3 on the other hand are upregulated in various cancers, and show oncogenic potential e.g. via enhanced ECM breakdown and potentiation of angiogenesis. While non-redundant biological roles continue to surface, the biochemical mechanisms behind these discrepant functions remain mostly elusive. Here, we identify an isoform specific regulation of PKD2 in oxidative stress conditions via the phosphorylation of a key Tyrosine residue in the substrate binding loop of the activation segment which is highly conserved in most Ser/Thr kinases. Phosphorylation of this residue selectively occurs in PKD2 (and not in PKD1). While wild-type PKD1 signals to NF-kB in oxidative stress, we could show that wild-type PKD2 signaling to NF-kB is impeded in these conditions. Substitution of the activation segment Tyr-717 in PKD2 with a non-phosphorylatable Phe restores signaling to NF-kB, indicating that Tyr-717 phosphorylation is a key determinant for the signaling outcome of PKDs in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Protein kinases are essential molecules in life and their crucial function requires tight regulation. Many kinases are regulated via phosphorylation within their activation loop. This loop is embedded in the activation segment, which additionally contains the Mg2+ binding loop and a P + 1 loop that is important in substrate binding. In this report, we identify Abl-mediated phosphorylation of a highly conserved Tyr residue in the P + 1 loop of protein kinase D2 (PKD2) during oxidative stress. Remarkably, we observed that the three human PKD isoforms display very different degrees of P + 1 loop Tyr phosphorylation and we identify one of the molecular determinants for this divergence. This is paralleled by a different activation mechanism of PKD1 and PKD2 during oxidative stress. Tyr phosphorylation in the P + 1 loop of PKD2 increases turnover for Syntide-2, while substrate specificity and the role of PKD2 in NF-κB signaling remain unaffected. Importantly, Tyr to Phe substitution renders the kinase inactive, jeopardizing its use as a non-phosphorylatable mutant. Since large-scale proteomics studies identified P + 1 loop Tyr phosphorylation in more than 70 Ser/Thr kinases in multiple conditions, our results do not only demonstrate differential regulation/function of PKD isoforms under oxidative stress, but also have implications for kinase regulation in general.

Abstract
Loss of ER Ca2+ homeostasis triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and drives ER-PM contact sites formation in order to refill ER-luminal Ca2+. Recent studies suggest that the ER stress sensor and mediator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) PERK regulates intracellular Ca2+ fluxes, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID), we identified the actin-binding protein Filamin A (FLNA) as a key PERK interactor. Cells lacking PERK accumulate F-actin at the cell edges and display reduced ER-PM contacts. Following ER-Ca2+ store depletion, the PERK-FLNA interaction drives the expansion of ER-PM juxtapositions by regulating F-actin-assisted relocation of the ER-associated tethering proteins Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1) and Extended Synaptotagmin-1 (E-Syt1) to the PM. Cytosolic Ca2+ elevation elicits rapid and UPR-independent PERK dimerization, which enforces PERK-FLNA-mediated ER-PM juxtapositions. Collectively, our data unravel an unprecedented role of PERK in the regulation of ER-PM appositions through the modulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Somatic missense mutations in the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) Aα scaffold subunit gene PPP2R1A are among the few genomic alterations that occur frequently in serous endometrial carcinoma (EC) and carcinosarcoma, two clinically aggressive subtypes of uterine cancer with few therapeutic options. Previous studies reported that cancer-associated Aα mutants exhibit defects in binding to other PP2A subunits and contribute to cancer development by a mechanism of haploinsufficiency. Here we report on the functional significance of the most recurrent PPP2R1A mutations in human EC, which cluster in Aα HEAT repeats 5 and 7. Beyond predicted loss-of-function effects on the formation of a subset of PP2A holoenzymes, we discovered that Aα mutants behave in a dominant-negative manner due to gain-of-function interactions with the PP2A inhibitor TIPRL1. Dominant-negative Aα mutants retain binding to specific subunits of the B56/B' family and form substrate trapping complexes with impaired phosphatase activity via increased recruitment of TIPRL1. Accordingly, overexpression of the Aα mutants in EC cells harboring wild-type PPP2R1A increased anchorage-independent growth and tumor formation, and triggered hyperphosphorylation of oncogenic PP2A-B56/B' substrates in the GSK3β, Akt, and mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathways. TIPRL1 silencing restored GSK3β phosphorylation and rescued the EC cell growth advantage. Our results reveal how PPP2R1A mutations affect PP2A function and oncogenic signaling, illuminating the genetic basis for serous EC development and its potential control by rationally targeted therapies.

Abstract
The p53 tumor suppressor is the central component of a complex network of signaling pathways that protect organisms against the propagation of cells carrying oncogenic mutations. Here we report a previously unrecognized role of p53 in membrane phospholipids composition. By repressing the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1, SCD, the enzyme that converts saturated to mono-unsaturated fatty acids, p53 causes a shift in the content of phospholipids with mono-unsaturated acyl chains towards more saturated phospholipid species, particularly of the phosphatidylinositol headgroup class. This shift affects levels of phosphatidylinositol phosphates, attenuates the oncogenic AKT pathway, and contributes to the p53-mediated control of cell survival. These findings expand the p53 network to phospholipid metabolism and uncover a new molecular pathway connecting p53 to AKT signaling.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Beyond first line treatment, few therapeutic options are available, particularly for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Here, we have explored the phospholipidomes of 30 human SCCs and found that they almost invariably (in 96.7% of cases) contain phospholipids with longer acyl chains compared to matched normal tissues. This trait was confirmed using in situ 2D-imaging MS on tissue sections and by phospholipidomics of tumor and normal lung tissue of the L-IkkαKA/KA mouse model of lung SCC. In both human and mouse, the increase in acyl chain length in cancer tissue was accompanied by significant changes in the expression of acyl chain elongases (ELOVLs). Functional screening of differentially expressed ELOVLs by selective gene knockdown in SCC cell lines followed by phospholipidomics revealed ELOVL6 as the main elongation enzyme responsible for acyl chain elongation in cancer cells. Interestingly, inhibition of ELOVL6 drastically reduced colony formation of multiple SCC cell lines in vitro and significantly attenuated their growth as xenografts in vivo in mouse models. These findings identify acyl chain elongation as one of the most common traits of lung SCC discovered so far and pinpoint ELOVL6 as a novel potential target for cancer intervention.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides, particularly PI(3,4,5)P3, and PI(4,5)P2, are recognized by SHIP2 a member of the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase family. SHIP2 dephosphorylates PI(3,4,5)P3 to form PI(3,4)P2; the latter interacts with specific target proteins (e.g. lamellipodin). Although the SHIP2 preferred substrate is PI(3,4,5)P3, PI(4,5)P2 could also be dephosphorylated to PI4P. Through depletion of SHIP2 in a glioblastoma cell line 1321 N1 cells, we show that SHIP2 inhibits cell migration. In different glioblastoma cell lines and primary cultures, SHIP2 staining at the plasma membrane partly overlaps with PI(4,5)P2 immunoreactivity. PI(4,5)P2 was upregulated in SHIP2-deficient N1 cells as compared to control cells; in contrast, PI4P was very much decreased in SHIP2-deficient cells. Therefore, SHIP2 controls both PI(3,4,5)P3 and PI(4,5)P2 levels in intact cells. In N1 cells, the PI(4,5)P2 binding protein myosin-1c was identified as a new interactor of SHIP2. Regulation of PI(4,5)P2 and PI4P content by SHIP2 controls N1 cell migration through the organization of focal adhesions. Thus, our results reveal a novel role of SHIP2 in the control of PI(4,5)P2, PI4P and cell migration in PTEN-deficient glioblastoma N1 cells.

Abstract
Numerous human pathologies, including common conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory disease and neurodegeneration, involve changes in lipid metabolism. Likewise, a growing number of drugs are being developed that directly or indirectly affect lipid metabolic pathways. Instead of classical and cumbrous radiochemical analyses, lipid profiling by mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics holds great potential as companion diagnostic in several steps along the drug development process. In this review we describe some typical lipidomics set-ups and illustrate how these technologies can be implemented in target discovery, compound screening, in vitro and in vivo preclinical testing, toxicity testing of drugs, and prediction and monitoring of response.
