Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate early proteome and phosphoproteome changes during inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation induced by sirolimus (SRL).
Materials And Methods: Proliferation assays were conducted using human CCRF-CEM T lymphoblasts under different SRL concentrations. Total protein lysates after SRL treatment were used to identify significantly regulated proteins and phosphorylated proteins by 2-DE and Q-TOF Ultima Global mass spectrometer.
Results And Conclusions: Incubation with 2.5 micromol/l SRL resulted in a approximately 70% inhibition of cell proliferation. Cells incubated with 2.5 micromol/l for 30 min showed a differential phosphorylation pattern with one higher (TCPQ) and six lower phosphorylation signals (TBA1B, VIME, HNRPD, ENPL, SEPT9, PLSL). On investigating the differential protein expression, five proteins were found to be up-regulated (ECHB, PSB3, MTDC, LDHB and NDKA) and four were down-regulated (EHD1, AATC, LMNB1 and MDHC). Nine of these differentially regulated proteins/phosphoproteins (TCPQ, TBA1B, VIME, HNRPD, ENPL, ECHB, PSB3, LDHB and LMNB1) showed significant interaction potential, through binding protein YWHAZ using MINT software.
Conclusions: We report for the first time the simultaneous early influence of SRL on phosphorylation status and on protein expression in the total proteome of CCRF-CEM T lymphoblasts and predict that 56% of the proteins interact with each other, highlighting significance of these results.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play pivotal roles in regulating cellular signaling, fine-tuning protein function, and orchestrating complex biological processes. Despite their importance, the lack of comprehensive tools for studying PTMs from a pathway-centric perspective has limited our ability to understand how PTMs modulate cellular pathways on a molecular level. Here, we present PTMNavigator, a tool integrated into the ProteomicsDB platform that offers an interactive interface for researchers to overlay experimental PTM data with pathway diagrams.

The integrative multiomics characterization of minute amounts of clinical tissue specimens has become increasingly important. Here, we present an approach called Integral-Omics, which enables sequential extraction of metabolites, lipids, genomic DNA, total RNA, proteins, and phosphopeptides from a single biopsy-level tissue specimen. We benchmarked this method with various samples, applied the workflow to perform multiomics profiling of tissues from six patients with colorectal cancer, and found that tumor tissues exhibited suppressed ferroptosis pathways at multiomics levels.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a member of the large coronavirus family with high infectivity and pathogenicity and is the primary pathogen causing the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Phosphorylation is a major type of protein post-translational modification that plays an essential role in the process of SARS-CoV-2-host interactions. The precise identification of phosphorylation sites in host cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 will be of great importance to investigate potential antiviral responses and mechanisms and exploit novel targets for therapeutic development.

Data-independent acquisition has become a widely used strategy for peptide and protein quantification in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics studies. The integration of ion mobility separation into data-independent acquisition analysis, such as the diaPASEF technology available on Bruker's timsTOF platform, further improves the quantification accuracy and protein depth achievable using data-independent acquisition. We introduce diaTracer, a spectrum-centric computational tool optimized for diaPASEF data.

Equine melanocytic neoplasm (EMN) represents a form of skin tumor observed predominantly in grey horses aged over 15 years. Despite its prevalence, current therapeutic and preventive strategies for EMN have been subject to limited investigation. This study endeavors to shed light on potential phosphoproteins present in equine serum and fecal samples, potentially linked to EMN, with a specific focus on functional interactions in EMN pathogenesis.
