We described a workflow involving a combination of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) enrichment, strong anion exchange (SAX), and strong cation exchange (SCX) fractionation for global phosphoproteome analysis. The workflow proposed TiO(2) -based high efficient enrichment with optimum peptide-to-beads ratio prior to robust IEC fractionation. With the optimum peptide-to-beads ratio, offline TiO(2) enrichment provides high selectivity and large sample loading capacity compared with online TiO(2) chromatography. The eluate with highly enriched phosphopeptides is then subjected to online SAX and SCX fractionation coupled to RP-LC-MS/MS analysis. The identification of phosphopeptides from SAX, SCX, and flow-through fractions showed high complementary features. Importantly, large amount of multiphosphopeptides could be recovered in SAX fractionations. In total, up to 5063 unique phosphosites were identified from 4557 unique phosphopeptides using 4-mg HeLa cell lysate as the starting material.

Amino acid (AA) detection is fundamental for cellular function, balancing translation demands, biochemical pathways, and signaling networks. Although the GCN2 and mTORC1 pathways are known to regulate AA sensing, the global cellular response to AA deprivation remains poorly understood, particularly in non-transformed cells, which may exhibit distinct adaptive strategies compared with cancer cells. Here, we employed murine pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells as a model system to dissect responses to AA stress.

is an environmental fungal pathogen that causes meningoencephalitis in humans, requiring thermal adaptation to human body temperature. We employed several orthogonal complementary approaches to elucidate molecular mechanisms of calcineurin signaling, which is essential for thermotolerance of many fungal species, and in doing so, delineated a thermoregulatory network. First, genetic suppressors for loss of calcineurin activity identified a kinase, Yak1, as the primary suppressor of calcineurin.

Innate immune signaling relies heavily on phosphorylation cascades to mount effective immune responses. Although traditional innate immune signaling cascades following TLR4 stimulation have been investigated through a temporally quantitative phosphoproteomic lens, far fewer studies have applied these methods to distinct signaling following the inflammasome trigger leading to IL-1β release. Here, we conducted time-resolved phosphoproteomic profiling to investigate kinase signaling downstream of the inflammasome trigger nigericin.

Background: In 2019, the Open Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas (OpenPBTA) was created as a global, collaborative open-science initiative to genomically characterize 1,074 pediatric brain tumors and 22 patient-derived cell lines. Here, we present an extension of the OpenPBTA called the Open Pediatric Cancer (OpenPedCan) Project, a harmonized open-source multiomic dataset from 6,112 pediatric cancer patients with 7,096 tumor events across more than 100 histologies. Combined with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) from the Genotype-Tissue Expression and The Cancer Genome Atlas projects, OpenPedCan contains nearly 48,000 total biospecimens (24,002 tumor and 23,893 normal specimens).

T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling plays a crucial role in various biological processes and is usually studied using global mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic studies. Despite advancements in targeted mass spectrometry-based assays for protein quantification, their application in studying signaling processes, for example, reproducible measurements of post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as phosphorylation, remains limited. Tyrosine phosphorylation is critical for many signaling pathways but presents challenges due to the low abundance of phosphotyrosine-containing peptides.
