The Polyglutamine Expansion at the N-Terminal of Huntingtin Protein Modulates the Dynamic Configuration and Phosphorylation of the C-Terminal HEAT Domain

Matteo Dal Peraro, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Ruedi Aebersold

The polyQ expansion in huntingtin protein (HTT) is the prime cause of Huntington's disease (HD). The recent cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of HTT-HAP40 complex provided the structural information on its HEAT-repeat domains. Here, we present an ...

A new class of protein biomarkers based on subcellular distribution: application to a mouse liver cancer model

Kristina Schoonjans, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Evan Graehl Williams, Pan Xu, Amir Banaei Esfahani, Chen Li, Ruedi Aebersold

To-date, most proteomic studies aimed at discovering tissue-based cancer biomarkers have compared the quantity of selected proteins between case and control groups. However, proteins generally function in association with other proteins to form modules loc ...

The interactome of KRAB zinc finger proteins reveals the evolutionary history of their functional diversification

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Julien Léonard Duc, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Coluccio, Julien Paul André Pontis, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid, Cécile Piot, Ruedi Aebersold

Krüppel‐associated box (KRAB)‐containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are encoded in the hundreds by the genomes of higher vertebrates, and many act with the heterochromatin‐inducing KAP1 as repressors of transposable elements (TEs) during early embryogene ...

Quantifying and Localizing the Mitochondrial Proteome Across Five Tissues in A Mouse Population

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Dongryeol Ryu, Evan Graehl Williams, Pooja Jha, Jiayi Lan, Ruedi Aebersold, Moaraj Hasan

We have used SWATH mass spectrometry to quantify 3648 proteins across 76 proteomes collected from genetically diverse BXD mouse strains in two fractions (mitochondria and total cell) from five tissues: liver, quadriceps, heart, brain, and brown adipose (BA ...

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Davide D'Amico, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Hongbo Zhang, Peiling Luan, Keir Joe Menzies, Karim Laurent Gariani

Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) and its imp ...

Systems proteomics of liver mitochondria function

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams, Pooja Jha, Tiffany Amariuta, Ruedi Aebersold, Sébastien Dubuis

Recent improvements in quantitative proteomics approaches, including Sequential Window Acquisition of all Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS), permit reproducible large-scale protein measurements across diverse cohorts. Together with genomics, transcriptom ...

Multilayered genetic and omics dissection of mitochondrial activity in a mouse reference population

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Virginija Jovaisaite, Ruedi Aebersold, Sébastien Dubuis

The manner by which genotype and environment affect complex phenotypes is one of the fundamental questions in biology. In this study, we quantified the transcriptome--a subset of the metabolome--and, using targeted proteomics, quantified a subset of the li ...

The Biology/Disease-driven Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP): Enabling Protein Research for the Life Sciences Community

Martin Kussmann, Ruedi Aebersold

The biology and disease oriented branch of the Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP) was established by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) with the main goal of supporting the broad application of state-of-the-art measurements of proteins and proteomes by l ...
