Tracing active members in microbial communities by BONCAT and click chemistry-based enrichment of newly synthesized proteins

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

A comprehensive understanding of microbial community dynamics is fundamental to the advancement of environmental microbiology, human health, and biotechnology. Metaproteomics, defined as the analysis of all proteins present within a microbial community, provides insights into these complex systems. Microbial adaptation and activity depend to an important extent on newly synthesized proteins (nP), however, the distinction between nP and bulk proteins is challenging. The application of BONCAT with click chemistry has demonstrated efficacy in the enrichment of nP in pure cultures for proteomics. However, the transfer of this technique to microbial communities and metaproteomics has proven challenging and thus it has not not been used on microbial communities before. To address this, a new workflow with efficient and specific nP enrichment was developed using a laboratory-scale mixture of labelled Escherichia coli and unlabeled yeast. This workflow was then successfully applied to an anaerobic microbial community with initially low bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging efficiency. A substrate shift from glucose to ethanol selectively enriched nP with minimal background. The identification of bifunctional alcohol dehydrogenase and a syntrophic interaction between an ethanol-utilizing bacterium and two methanogens (hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic) demonstrates the potential of metaproteomics targeting nP to trace microbial activity in complex microbial communities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
