No full textCell Surface and Secreted Protein Profiles of Human Thyroid Cancer Cell Lines Reveal Distinct Glycoprotein Patterns
No full textCell surface proteins have been shown to be effective therapeutic targets. In addition, shed forms of these proteins and secreted proteins can serve as biomarkers for diseases, including cancer. Thus, identification of cell surface and secreted proteins has been a prime area of interest in the proteomics field. Most cell surface and secreted proteins are known to be glycosylated, and therefore, a proteomics strategy targeting these proteins was applied to obtain proteomic profiles from various thyroid cancer cell lines that represent the range of thyroid cancers of follicular cell origin. In this study, we oxidized the carbohydrates of secreted proteins and those on the cell surface with periodate and isolated them via covalent coupling to hydrazide resin. The glycoproteins obtained were identified from tryptic peptides and N-linked glycopeptides released from the hydrazide resin using two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in combination with the gas phase fractionation. Thyroid cancer cell lines derived from papillary thyroid cancer (TPC-1), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC-133), Hürthle cell carcinoma (XTC-1), and anaplastic thyroid cancer (ARO and DRO-1) were evaluated. An average of 150 glycoproteins were identified per cell line, of which more than 57% are known cell surface or secreted glycoproteins. The usefulness of the approach for identifying thyroid cancer associated biomarkers was validated by the identification of glycoproteins (e.g., CD44, galectin 3 and metalloproteinase inhibitor 1) that have been found to be useful markers for thyroid cancer. In addition to glycoproteins that are commonly expressed by all of the cell lines, we identified others that are only expressed in the more well-differentiated thyroid cancer cell lines (follicular, Hürthle cell and papillary), or by cell lines derived from undifferentiated tumors that are uniformly fatal forms of thyroid cancer (i.e., anaplastic). On the basis of the results obtained, a set of glycoprotein biomarker candidates for thyroid cancer is proposed

Identification of an Intermediate Methyl Carrier in the Radical <i>S</i>‑Adenosylmethionine Methylthiotransferases RimO and MiaB
No full textRimO and MiaB are
radical S-adenosylmethionine
(SAM) enzymes that catalyze the attachment of methylthio (−SCH3) groups to macromolecular substrates. RimO attaches a methylthio
group at C3 of aspartate 89 of protein S12, a component of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. MiaB attaches a methylthio
group at C2 of N6-(isopentenyl)adenosine,
found at nucleotide 37 in several prokaryotic tRNAs. These two enzymes
are prototypical members of a subclass of radical SAM enzymes called
methylthiotransferases (MTTases). It had been assumed that the sequence
of steps in MTTase reactions involves initial sulfur insertion into
the organic substrate followed by capping of the inserted sulfur atom
with a SAM-derived methyl group. In this work, however, we show that
both RimO and MiaB from Thermotoga maritima catalyze methyl transfer from SAM to an acid/base labile acceptor
on the protein in the absence of their respective macromolecular substrates.
Consistent with the assignment of the acceptor as an iron–sulfur
cluster, denaturation of the SAM-treated protein with acid results
in production of methanethiol. When RimO or MiaB is first incubated
with SAM in the absence of substrate and reductant and then incubated
with excess S-adenosyl-l-[methyl-d3]methionine in the presence of substrate
and reductant, production of the unlabeled product precedes production
of the deuterated product, showing that the methylated species is
chemically and kinetically competent to be an intermediate
