Phosphosignaling networks control cellular processes. We built kinase-mediated regulatory networks elicited by thrombin stimulation of brain endothelial cells using two computational strategies: Temporal Pathway Synthesizer (TPS), which uses phosphoproteomics data as input, and Temporally REsolved KInase Network Generation (TREKING), which uses kinase inhibitor screens. TPS and TREKING predicted overlapping barrier-regulatory kinases connected with unique network topology. Each strategy effectively describes regulatory signaling networks and is broadly applicable across biological systems.

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.

The GFPT2 protein, also known as glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase 2, regulates glucose flux through the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP). It is primarily expressed in the spinal cord and central nervous system and is notably abundant in various cancers while being dysregulated in diabetes. Despite its significant role in critical diseases, the phospho-regulatory mechanisms governing GFPT2 function remain largely unexplored.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides the resolution and scale necessary to identify transcriptional programs but fails to capture post-transcriptional information critical to decipher signaling networks and cellular states. We present Vivo-seq, an innovative platform that integrates scRNA-seq and intracellular cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing following cellular fixation with a deep eutectic solvent, which preserves multiple domains of biological information beyond RNA transcripts alone. Vivo-seq enables simultaneous capture of both transcriptional and phospho-signaling states in single cells.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics analysis is a powerful approach for elucidating the regulatory roles of protein phosphorylation across all domains of life. However, bacterial phosphoproteomics still faces significant technical challenges due to the extremely low substoichiometry of phosphorylation evens and the structural complexity of bacterial cell envelopes, which impede efficient cell lysis, protein recovery, and purity. To address these obstacles, we developed Methanolic Urea-enhanced Protein Extraction (MUPE), a streamlined, detergent-free, solvent-based method that leverages the amphiphilic nature of methanol and the chaotropic properties of urea to enhance protein yield and lysis efficiency.

Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is a pivotal transcriptional regulator implicated in cancer, fibrosis, and inflammation, yet its phospho-regulatory network remains underexplored. This study leverages an extensive analysis of 1000 qualitative and 225 quantitative global phosphoproteome datasets to decode the BRD4 phosphorylation landscape. We identified S601 and S1117 as predominant phosphorylation sites, driving the majority of BRD4 phospho-signaling.
