Protein palmitoylation, a reversible lipid modification of proteins, is widely used in the nervous system, with dysregulated palmitoylation being implicated in a variety of neurological disorders. Described below is ABE/SILAM, a proteomic strategy that couples acyl-biotinyl exchange (ABE) purification of palmitoyl-proteins to whole animal stable isotope labeling (SILAM) to provide an accurate tracking of palmitoylation change within rodent disease models. As a first application, we have used ABE/SILAM to look at Huntington's disease (HD), profiling palmitoylation change in two HD-relevant mouse mutants: the transgenic HD model mouse YAC128 and the hypomorphic Hip14-gt mouse, which has sharply reduced expression for HIP14 (Zdhhc17), a palmitoyl-transferase implicated in the HD disease process. Rather than mapping to the degenerating neurons themselves, the biggest disease changes instead map to astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (i.e., the supporting glial cells).

Macrophage apoptosis contributes to acute lung injury (ALI). However, the relationship between cell metabolism and the apoptosis of macrophages remains unclear. In our study, murine alveolar macrophages (MH-S) were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce an apoptosis model; cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis rate were determined.

Algae typically respond to environmental changes by regulating the production and release of metabolites that affect water quality and cause various environmental issues. In this study, we investigated the role of algal organic matter (AOM) in copper [Cu(II)] using high-resolution mass spectrometry and a molecular-network-based nontargeted screening. The abundance and activity of algae were inhibited after the addition of Cu(II).

Excess fat intake is associated with kidney toxicity and dysfunction. Because fatty acids can also be reversibly attached onto cysteine residues and modulate the function of several membrane-bound proteins, we studied the effect of high-fat diet (HFD) on the S-acylated proteome of mouse kidneys to uncover novel biochemical changes that might contribute to lipid-induced nephrotoxicity. We compared the S-acylated proteome of kidneys from mice fed a chow diet (CD) or a HFD.

The neurotransmitter serotonin is involved in physiological processes such as appetite, sleep, and mood and diseases such as anxiety and depression. Traditionally, the effects of serotonin were thought to be initiated by binding to its target transmembrane receptors. It is also known that serotonin can bind directly to the membrane with high affinity and modulate lipid dynamics, lateral segregation of lipids, vesicular association, and membrane protein activity.
