RESUMO

Filtering of nonspecifically binding contaminant proteins from affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) data is a well-established strategy to improve statistical confidence in identified proteins. The CRAPome (contaminant repository for affinity purification) describes the contaminating background content present in many purification strategies. However, full contaminant lists for nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (NiNTA) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) affinity matrices are lacking. Similarly, no Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) contaminants are available, and only the FLAG-purified contaminants are described for Escherichia coli. For MS experiments that use recombinant protein, such as structural mass spectrometry experiments (hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), chemical cross-linking, and radical foot-printing), failing to include these contaminants in the search database during the initial tandem MS (MS/MS) identification stage can result in complications in peptide identification. We have created contaminant FASTA databases for Sf9 and E. coli NiNTA or GST purification strategies and show that the use of these databases can effectively improve HDX-MS protein coverage, fragment count, and confidence in peptide identification. This approach provides a robust strategy toward the design of contaminant databases for any purification approach that will expand the complexity of systems able to be interrogated by HDX-MS.

RESUMO

Gene duplications increase organismal robustness by providing freedom for gene divergence or by increasing gene dosage. The yeast histone chaperones Fpr3 and Fpr4 are paralogs that can assemble nucleosomes in vitro; however, the genomic locations they target and their functional relationship is poorly understood. We refined the yeast synthetic genetic array approach to enable the functional dissection of gene paralogs. Applying this method to Fpr3 and Fpr4 uncovered redundant, cooperative, and divergent functions. While Fpr3 is uniquely involved in chromosome segregation, Fpr3 and Fpr4 cooperate to regulate genes involved in polyphosphate metabolism and ribosome biogenesis. We find that the TRAMP5 RNA exosome is critical for fitness in Δfpr3Δfpr4 yeast and leverage this information to identify an important role for Fpr4 at the 5' ends of protein coding genes. Additionally, Fpr4 and TRAMP5 negatively regulate RNAs from the nontranscribed spacers of ribosomal DNA. Yeast lacking Fpr3 and Fpr4 exhibit a genome instability phenotype at the ribosomal DNA, which implies that these histone chaperones regulate chromatin structure and DNA access at this location. Taken together. we provide genetic and transcriptomic evidence that Fpr3 and Fpr4 operate separately, cooperatively, and redundantly to regulate a variety of chromatin environments.
