The influence of phosphoproteomics sample preparation methods on the biological interpretation of signaling outcome is unclear. Here, we demonstrate a strong bias in phosphorylation signaling targets uncovered by comparing the phosphoproteomes generated by two commonly used methods-strong cation exchange chromatography-based phosphoproteomics (SCXPhos) and single-run high-throughput phosphoproteomics (HighPhos). Phosphoproteomes of embryonic stem cells exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) profiled by both methods achieved equivalent coverage (around 20,000 phosphosites), whereas a combined dataset significantly increased the depth (>30,000 phosphosites). While both methods reproducibly quantified a subset of shared IR-responsive phosphosites that represent DNA damage and cell-cycle-related signaling events, most IR-responsive phosphoproteins (>82%) and phosphosites (>96%) were method-specific. Both methods uncovered unique insights into phospho-signaling mediated by single (SCXPhos) versus double/multi-site (HighPhos) phosphorylation events; particularly, each method identified a distinct set of previously unreported IR-responsive kinome/phosphatome (95% disparate) directly impacting the uncovered biology.

Although cathepsin S is transported from the spleen to the liver, where it cleaves collagen XVIII to produce endostatin and plays a critical role in the onset of early liver fibrosis, the relationship between liver fibrosis and spleen function remains underexplored. Given the roles of phosphorylation in disease, understanding its regulatory mechanism in early liver fibrosis is crucial. Despite advances in mass spectrometry enhancing phosphoproteomics, its application is limited by small clinical samples and subtle protein changes.

Phosphoproteins maintain the normal metabolic activity of the organisms. Direct phosphopeptides detection is difficult to be realized by mass spectroscopy (MS) due to the low ionization efficiency, low abundance of phosphopeptides and interferences of complicated biological fluids. In the present work, a magnetic composite material was prepared by combining polyethyleneimine (PEI) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) focusing on phosphopeptides enrichment.

Protein phosphorylation plays a crucial role in regulating diverse biological processes. Perturbations in protein phosphorylation are closely associated with downstream pathway dysfunctions, while alterations in protein expression could serve as sensitive indicators of pathological status. However, there are currently few methods that can accurately identify the regulatory links between protein phosphorylation and expression, given issues like reverse causation and confounders.

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.

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.
