Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays fundamental roles in cellular biochemistry and was recently discovered to function as a biological hydrotrope. Here, we use mass spectrometry to interrogate ATP-mediated regulation of protein thermal stability and protein solubility on a proteome-wide scale. Thermal proteome profiling reveals high affinity interactions of ATP as a substrate and as an allosteric modulator that has widespread influence on protein complexes and their stability. Further, we develop a strategy for proteome-wide solubility profiling, and discover ATP-dependent solubilization of at least 25% of the insoluble proteome. ATP increases the solubility of positively charged, intrinsically disordered proteins, and their susceptibility for solubilization varies depending on their localization to different membrane-less organelles. Moreover, a few proteins, exhibit an ATP-dependent decrease in solubility, likely reflecting polymer formation. Our data provides a proteome-wide, quantitative insight into how ATP influences protein structure and solubility across the spectrum of physiologically relevant concentrations.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of proteins that provides structural support and biochemical cues to cells within tissues. Characterizing ECM composition is critical for understanding this tissue component's roles in development, homeostasis, and disease processes. This protocol describes an integrated pipeline for profiling both cellular and ECM proteins across varied tissue types using mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Article Synopsis
- Phosphoglycosyl transferases (PGTs) are key enzymes in the synthesis of glycoconjugates by transferring sugar components to specific membrane targets, highlighting their importance in biochemical research.
- The study utilizes a sequence similarity network combined with a luminescence-based assay to investigate the substrate preferences of a specific family of bacterial PGTs, providing insights into their functionality on a broader scale.
- Additionally, the research establishes a preliminary framework for discovering inhibitors by testing eight nucleoside analogs on four distinct monoPGTs, paving the way for future studies in inhibitor development.

Background: This study aimed to identify novel plasma proteins associated with first-lifetime venous thromboembolism (VTE) and molecular pathways involved in VTE pathogenesis.
Methods: A case-cohort comprising incident VTE cases ( = 294) and a randomly sampled age- and sex-weighted subcohort ( = 1,066) was derived from the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT3, n = 50,800). Blood samples were collected and stored at cohort inclusion (2006-2008), and participants were followed up to 5 years.

Article Synopsis
- IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is a pediatric disease characterized by skin and systemic symptoms, and researchers conducted comprehensive studies involving genome, transcriptome, and proteome analyses on a large cohort of IgAV patients and controls to better understand the disease mechanisms.* -
- Significant associations were found with specific genetic risk factors, including two novel non-HLA loci linked to IgA receptor functioning, which may contribute to disease development through altered immune responses.* -
- Systems biology approaches helped identify key regulatory networks and master regulators in myeloid cells, along with 21 genetic loci that overlap with IgA nephropathy, suggesting shared pathways in these related conditions.*

Proteins are the primary targets of almost all small molecule drugs. However, even the most selectively designed drugs can potentially target several unknown proteins. Identification of potential drug targets can facilitate design of new drugs and repurposing of existing ones.
