Abstract
Alternative splicing is one of the key mechanisms extending the complexity of genetic information and at the same time adaptability of higher eukaryotes. As a result, the broad spectrum of isoforms produced by alternative splicing allows organisms to fine-tune their proteome; however, the functions of the majority of alternatively spliced protein isoforms are largely unknown. Ribosomal protein isoforms are one of the groups for which data are limited. Here we report characterization of an alternatively spliced isoform of the ribosomal uL10 protein, named uL10β. The uL10 protein constitutes the core element of the ribosomal stalk structure within the GTPase associated center, which represents the landing platform for translational GTPases - trGTPases. The stalk plays an important role in the ribosome-dependent stimulation of GTP by trGTPases, which confer unidirectional trajectory for the ribosome, allosterically contributing to the speed and accuracy of translation. We have shown that the newly identified uL10β protein is stably expressed in mammalian cells and is primarily located within the nuclear compartment with a minor signal within the cytoplasm. Importantly, uL10β is able to bind to the ribosomal particle, but is mainly associated with 60S and 80S particles; additionally, the uL10β undergoes re-localization into the mitochondria upon endoplasmic reticulum stress induction. Our results suggest a specific stress-related dual role of uL10β, supporting the idea of existence of specialized ribosomes with an altered GTPase associated center.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upon environmental stimuli, ribosomes are surmised to undergo compositional rearrangements due to abundance changes among proteins assembled into the complex, leading to modulated structural and functional characteristics. Here, we present the ComplexOme-Structural Network Interpreter ([Formula: see text]), a computational method to allow testing whether ribosomal proteins (rProteins) that exhibit abundance changes under specific conditions are spatially confined to particular regions within the large ribosomal complex. RESULTS [Formula: see text] translates experimentally determined structures into graphs, with nodes representing proteins and edges the spatial proximity between them. In its first implementation, [Formula: see text] considers rProteins and ignores rRNA and other objects. Spatial regions are defined using a random walk with restart methodology, followed by a procedure to obtain a minimum set of regions that cover all proteins in the complex. Structural coherence is achieved by applying weights to the edges reflecting the physical proximity between purportedly contacting proteins. The weighting probabilistically guides the random-walk path trajectory. Parameter tuning during region selection provides the option to tailor the method to specific biological questions by yielding regions of different sizes with minimum overlaps. In addition, other graph community detection algorithms may be used for the [Formula: see text] workflow, considering that they yield different sized, non-overlapping regions. All tested algorithms result in the same node kernels under equivalent regions. Based on the defined regions, available abundance change information of proteins is mapped onto the graph and subsequently tested for enrichment in any of the defined spatial regions. We applied [Formula: see text] to the cytosolic ribosome structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Oryctolagus cuniculus, and Triticum aestivum using datasets with available quantitative protein abundance change information. We found that in yeast, substoichiometric rProteins depleted from translating polysomes are significantly constrained to a ribosomal region close to the tRNA entry and exit sites. CONCLUSIONS [Formula: see text] offers a computational method to partition multi-protein complexes into structural regions and a statistical approach to test for spatial enrichments of any given subsets of proteins. [Formula: see text] is applicable to any multi-protein complex given appropriate structural and abundance-change data. [Formula: see text] is publicly available as a GitHub repository https://github.com/MSeidelFed/COSNet_i and can be installed using the python installer pip.

Abstract
Native mass spectrometry (MS) is a rapidly advancing field in the analysis of proteins, protein complexes, and macromolecular species of various types. The majority of native MS experiments reported to-date has been conducted using direct infusion of purified analytes into a mass spectrometer. In this study, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was coupled online to Orbitrap mass spectrometers using a commercial sheathless interface to enable high-performance separation, identification, and structural characterization of limited amounts of purified proteins and protein complexes, the latter with preserved non-covalent associations under native conditions. The performance of both bare-fused silica and polyacrylamide-coated capillaries was assessed using mixtures of protein standards known to form non-covalent protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes. High-efficiency separation of native complexes is demonstrated using both capillary types, while the polyacrylamide neutral-coated capillary showed better reproducibility and higher efficiency for more complex samples. The platform was then evaluated for the determination of monoclonal antibody aggregation and for analysis of proteomes of limited complexity using a ribosomal isolate from E. coli. Native CZE-MS, using accurate single stage and tandem-MS measurements, enabled identification of proteoforms and non-covalent complexes at femtomole levels. This study demonstrates that native CZE-MS can serve as an orthogonal and complementary technique to conventional native MS methodologies with the advantages of low sample consumption, minimal sample processing and losses, and high throughput and sensitivity. This study presents a novel platform for analysis of ribosomes and other macromolecular complexes and organelles, with the potential for discovery of novel structural features defining cellular phenotypes (e.g., specialized ribosomes).
