Article Abstract

N -Methyladenosine, an abundant chemical modification in mRNA, plays crucial roles in regulating gene expression and biological processes. Research on mA and its functions has progressed rapidly in the past few years, aided substantially by advances in high-throughput sequencing-based methods to profile mA along the transcriptome. We present here a protocol for mA crosslinking immunoprecipitation sequencing (mA-CLIP-seq), which profiles mA on mRNA at high resolution from as little as 1 μg of poly(A)-selected mRNA.

Microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) is a large protein of the spectraplakin family, which is essential for brain development. MACF1 interacts with microtubules through the growth arrest-specific 2 (Gas2)-related (GAR) domain. Heterozygous MACF1 missense variants affecting the zinc-binding residues in this domain result in a distinctive cortical and brain stem malformation.

Structural proteomics has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the convergence of advanced experimental methodologies and computational innovations. Cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, including cross-linking MS (XL-MS), hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS), and limited proteolysis MS (LiP-MS), now enable unprecedented insights into protein topology, conformational dynamics, and protein-protein interactions. These methods, complemented by affinity purification (AP), co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), proximity labeling (PL), and spatial proteomics techniques, have expanded our ability to characterize the structural proteome at a systems-wide scale.

Identification of TMED10 as A Regulator for Neuronal Exocytosis of Amyloid Beta 42.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurotoxic amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Neurons can internalize and exocytose Aβ; however, the molecular pathways governing Aβ release remain poorly understood. To identify key regulators of Aβ42 transport, we applied formaldehyde cross-linking of protein complexes combined with co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis to identify TMED10 as a novel Aβ42-interacting protein.

Heat shock proteins have been increasingly identified in RNA-interactomes, suggesting potential roles beyond their canonical functions. Among those, the cancer-linked chaperone TRAP1 has been mainly characterized for its regulatory role on respiratory complex activity and protein synthesis, while its specific function as an RNA-binding protein (RBP) remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed the RNA-binding activity of TRAP1 in living cells using both protein- and RNA-centric approaches and demonstrated that multiple TRAP1 regions cooperate in such binding.

By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with an exonuclease digestion of protein-bound DNA fragments, ChIP-exo characterizes genome-wide protein-DNA interactions at near base-pair resolution. However, the widespread adoption of ChIP-exo has been hindered by several technical challenges, including lengthy protocols, the need for multiple custom reactions, and incompatibilities with recent Illumina sequencing platforms. To address these barriers, we systematically optimized and adapted the ChIP-exo library construction protocol for the unique requirements of mammalian cells and current sequencing technologies.
