Journal Pre-proof Abstract Analysis of human muscle diseases highlights the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the skeletal muscle. Our previous work revealed that diverse upstream events correlated with altered mitochondrial proteome in human muscle biopsies. However, several proteins showed relatively unchanged expression suggesting that post-translational modifications, mainly protein phosphorylation could influence their activity and regulate mitochondrial processes. We conducted mitochondrial phosphoprotein profiling, by proteomics approach, of

of

healthy human skeletal muscle (n=10) and three muscle diseases (n=10 each):

ro

Dysferlinopathy, Polymyositis and Distal Myopathy with Rimmed Vacuoles. Healthy human

-p

muscle mitochondrial proteins displayed 253 phosphorylation sites (phosphosites), which

re

contributed to metabolic and redox processes and mitochondrial organization etc. Electron transport chain complexes accounted for 84 phosphosites. Muscle pathologies displayed 33

lP

hyperphosphorylated and 14 hypophorphorylated sites with only 5 common proteins,

na

indicating varied phosphorylation profile across muscle pathologies. Molecular modelling revealed altered local structure in the phosphorylated sites of Voltage-Dependent Anion

Jo ur

Channel 1 and complex V subunit ATP5B1. Molecular dynamics simulations in complex I subunits NDUFV1, NDUFS1 and NDUFV2 revealed that phosphorylation induced structural alterations thereby influencing electron transfer and potentially altering enzyme activity. We propose that altered phosphorylation at specific sites could regulate mitochondrial protein function in the skeletal muscle during physiological and pathological processes.

Journal Pre-proof Introduction Muscle diseases, especially the inherited pathologies are often associated with considerable mortality and morbidity in humans [1, 2]. Assessment of muscle pathology in these diseases indicates direct involvement of mitochondrial damage [3]. Mitochondrial abnormalities are evident in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) [4], collagen VI myopathies, congenital myopathies, calpainopathy, inflammatory myopathies [5, 6], facioscapulohumeral dystrophy [7], epidermolysis bullosa simplex with MD, sarcoglycan

of

deficient MDs and others [8, 9]. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been noted in the skeletal

ro

muscle of the DMD mouse model [10-12]. Mitochondrial damage in muscle pathologies

-p

entails release of pro-apoptotic proteins [13], altered calcium homeostasis [14], oxidative

re

stress [15] and abnormal mitochondrial permeability transition pore [16, 17] among others . We assessed the mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle pathologies by employing a

lP

cardiotoxin (CTX) mouse model of muscle degeneration [18]. Muscle mitochondria from the

na

CTX model showed depolarization, altered cristae, decreased mitochondrial activities and down-regulation of proteins involved in energy metabolism. Similar analysis in muscle

Jo ur

biopsies from patients with established muscle diseases revealed that diverse upstream events such as loss of sarcolemmal proteins, myoinflammation, intracellular morphological alterations and abnormalities in lipid storage showed altered mitochondrial function as indicated by morphological and biochemical analysis [19, 20]. At the cellular level, mitochondrial dysfunction in these diseases correlated with significantly altered mitochondrial proteome. Mitochondrial proteins from the CTX model and human muscle pathologies also displayed higher tryptophan oxidation compared to controls, with structural implications [19] linking mitochondrial dysfunction with oxidative protein damage [21]. Our proteomic study in human muscle pathologies [19] revealed that although 80 mitochondrial proteins were commonly down-regulated among Dysferlinopathy (dysfy)

3

Journal Pre-proof polymyositis (PM) and distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) compared to control, a substantial number of proteins displayed relatively unchanged expression. It is possible that expression-independent alterations, such as post-translational modifications (PTMs) could influence the activity of these proteins thereby contributing to altered mitochondrial function. PTMs regulate the structure-function relationship of mitochondrial proteins [22]. These include oxidative PTMs [19, 23] and non-oxidative PTMs mainly including phosphorylation. Protein phosphorylation/ dephosphorylation dynamics are reported to regulate

of

mitochondrial processes [24, 25]. Our recent study revealed extensive phosphorylation of

ro

mammalian mitochondrial complex I (CI) subunits [26]. Although advances in

-p

phosphoproteomic technologies have increased the identification of mitochondrial

re

phosphorylation sites (phosphosites) and phosphoproteins, their functional importance and the role of specific Kinases/ Phosphatases are unclear [27]. Such analysis is crucial to

lP

understand their role in human diseases. While global proteomic approaches [28-30] are

na

employed to characterize the mitochondrial phosphoproteome across different species, phosphoproteomics in human muscle mitochondria is limited [27]. Further, the role of

Jo ur

specific phosphorylation events on the structure function relationship of mitochondrial proteins has not been explored.

In the current study, we conducted a comprehensive phosphoprotein profiling of healthy human skeletal mitochondria and compared the same with three muscle pathologies with varied clinical and pathological features. These include muscle-intrinsic pathologies, viz., muscular dystrophy (MD) (dysfy) with proximal, distal and proximo-distal weakness, inflammatory myopathy (PM) with proximal muscle involvement and DMRV with distal involvement. We have also assessed the structural implications of protein phosphorylation of selected mitochondrial proteins by molecular modelling and molecular dynamics simulations.

The cases were characterized by clinical evaluation followed by confirmation of diagnosis by biochemical and histopathological analysis. Total mitochondria from muscle biopsies of dysfy, DMRV and PM and controls [n=10 samples for each disease and n=10 samples (biological replicates) as control], were subjected to tryptic digestion and TMT labelling followed by total proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis (carried out in n=2 technical replicates for each sample). The complete mitochondrial phosphoprotein profile in healthy muscle was analyzed followed by its comparison across different disease samples to understand the molecular basis of mitochondria dysfunction in these pathologies.

This included demographic details (age, gender, age at onset and presentation), initial symptoms and severity, Creatine Kinase levels and assessment of muscle strength (both upper and lower limbs). After obtaining informed consent, open muscle biopsies were conducted by a neurologist, under local anaesthesia. A moderately weak muscle (either from biceps or quadriceps) free from previous trauma was selected for uniformity and submitted for routine diagnosis to the Department of Neuropathology, NIMHANS. A fragment of the fresh biopsy was snap-frozen in isopentane that was pre-cooled in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C [19, 31]. From the shortlisted cases, following diagnostic procedures and confirmation of specific muscle disease, fresh

The supernatant was centrifuged (12,000 g, 10 min; 4 °C), and the mitochondrial pellet was washed twice with 1X phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Mitochondrial enrichment was confirmed by Electron Microscopy (EM) observation and Rotenone sensitivity [18].

Journal Pre-proof Mitochondrial Proteomics Sample preparation: Mitochondrial pellet from control muscle tissue (C) (n=10) and muscle pathologies [dysfy (n=10), DMRV (n=10) and PM (n=10)] (mitochondria were pooled in all groups to get a representative profile from statistically significant number of samples) were resuspended in extraction buffer [1 mM triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEABC) buffer, pH 8.5 containing 9 M urea and phosphatase inhibitors], sonicated (30 s) at 37 % amplitude on ice, followed by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant was collected and

for 10 min at room temperature in dark. Trypsin was added to the extract in a ratio of 1 unit of trypsin per 20 unit of sample and incubated for overnight digestion at 37˚C. Following

lP

confirmation of tryptic digestion on SDS-PAGE, the peptides were lyophilized and subjected

to Tandem mass tag (TMT) isobaric labelling method [20]. Control sample was labelled with 127 TMT channels, while Dysfy, DMRV and PM were labelled with 128, 129 and 130 TMT

Jo ur

channels. TMT labelling was carried out using a commercial kit (Thermofisher Scientific) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The labelling efficiency for each sample was checked by analyzing 2 μg equivalent peptides on mass spectrometer (MS). The labelled samples were pooled in equal amounts (250 μg) from control and disease groups and lyophilized [34, 35].

MS analysis of total mitochondrial proteome: One tenth of the labelled peptide mixture was utilized for comparative analysis of total mitochondrial proteome across different groups as described [19, 20, 35]. The peptides were subjected to bRPLC fractionation using XBridge column (C18, 5μm 250 × 4.6mm column) (Waters Corporation), which was coupled to an Agilent 1200 series HPLC system. For fractionation, 7 mM TEABC at pH 8.4 and 7 mM

Journal Pre-proof TEABC in 90% ACN, pH 8.4 were used as solvent A and B, respectively. A flow rate of 1 ml/min was used with a gradient of 5 % B to 60 % B over 60 min. A total of 96 fractions were collected, which were further pooled and lyophilized into 12 fractions.

LC-MS/MS analysis: Fractionated samples were analyzed in MS3 mode for accurate quantitation. For MS3, synchronous precursor selection was enabled and 10 precursor ions were selected for fragmentation with 55 % HCD collision energy. The resolution was set to

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) based enrichment of phosphopeptides: The remaining 90 % of the peptide mixture was processed for TiO2-based enrichment of phosphopeptides as described

[36]. The sample was reconstituted in 200 μl of 5 % dihydroxybenzoic acid in 80% ACN and

3% trifluoro acetic acid (TFA). Titansphere beads (GL Sciences, Japan) were mixed with peptides in 1:1 ratio and incubated on a rotary shaker for one hour at room temperature.

Peptides were then washed with 80 % ACN in 3 % TFA and eluted using 4 % ammonia solution followed by neutralization with 3 % TFA. The eluted peptides were then fractionated into six fractions using SCX-StageTip (Empore Solid Phase Extraction Disk). The fractionated samples were then dried and desalted using C18 stage tips and then subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis.

LC-MS/MS analysis: Phosphopeptides enriched TMT labelled fractions were analyzed in technical duplicates on Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid MS interfaced with Proxeon Easy-nLC 1000 system (Thermo Scientific, Bremen, Germany) [37]. Each fraction was reconstituted in 20 μl of 0.1% formic acid. The sample was then loaded on to a 2 cm long pre-column packed in-

Journal Pre-proof house with magic C18 AQ (Michrom Bioresources, Auburn, CA, USA). A linear gradient of 5 % to 30 % of solvent B (0.1 % formic acid in 95 % ACN) over 100 min was then used to resolve the sample on an analytical column (75 μ x 25 cm, 3 μ particle and 100 Å pore size). Quadrupole isolation was enabled and full scans were acquired with scan range of 400-1600 m/z at a resolution of 120,000 at 200 m/z. AGC target was set to 2 million with ion injection time of 55 ms and dynamic exclusion was set to 30 s. Most intense precursor ions were selected at top speed data dependent mode with 3 s cycle and were fragmented using higher-

energy collisional dissociation (HCD). Fragment ions in mass range of 110-2000 were

detected in Orbitrap with a resolution of 30,000. AGC target value was set to 50,000 with

maximum ion injection time of 150 ms.

Data analysis: The MS/MS data was searched against Human RefSeq database version 75

lP

na

through Proteome Discoverer (Version 2.1.0) software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). The search parameters included trypsin as the proteolytic enzyme, precursor ion

mass tolerance was set to 10 ppm and fragment ion mass tolerance was set to 0.05 Da. Oxidation of met was considered as dynamic modification, whereas, carbamidomethylation of cys, TMT labelling at peptide N-terminus and lys were considered as static modification. Data was searched with precursor mass tolerance of 20 ppm, fragment mass tolerance of 0.1 Da and 1 missed cleavage site were allowed for the searches. Peptide-spectrum match (PSM) level False Discovery Rate (FDR) of 1 % was employed for protein identification. The relative quantitation was carried out using the reporter ions quantifier node of Proteome Discoverer [20]. For phosphoproteomic data, phosphorylation at ser, thr and tyr residues was considered as dynamic modification. Probability of phosphorylation was calculated based on

Journal Pre-proof ptmRS score. A PSM level FDR of 1 % was applied using Percolator. The relative abundance of the reporter ions from MS scans was calculated by using reporter ions quantifier node in Proteome Discoverer. Filtering strategies included reliability of each data point from both replicates. Proteins in the phosphoproteome data which were not detected during total proteome analysis were excluded. Peptides exhibiting ≥1.5 fold increase in phosphorylation status compared to controls were considered to be hyperphosphorylated, while hypophosphorylation corresponded to phosphorylation level of ≤0.6 compared to control

Online bioinformatics tools: Gene enrichment, pathway analysis and functional annotation clustering of the identified proteins were carried out using Database for Annotation,

lP

Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) v6.7. Differentially regulated protein lists

were analyzed in the overall protein list and potentially interesting clusters were manually examined [38]. KinasePhos tool was used to locate the motifs and respective kinases acting

on different sites of various differentially regulated proteins. The presence of novel and reported phosphorylation sites of various mitochondrial proteins were confirmed by uniport (www.uniprot.org) [39], PhosphoSitePlus (www.phosphosite.org) [40] and Phosida (www.phosida.com) [41] databases. Network analysis was carried out using Stringdb functional protein association networks (http://string-db.org) [42].

Molecular modelling Among the phosphorylated mitochondrial proteins, VDAC1 and ATP5B1 were selected for structural analysis by molecular modelling. The corresponding PDB structures of these peptides were visually analyzed by Coot [19, 43] and PyMol software

11

Journal Pre-proof (http://www.pymol.org). In each PDB structure, the secondary structures, the interacting amino acids and domains containing the phosphorylated residue were visually analyzed. By using Coot software [43], specific ser, thr and tyr residues were labelled and the potential structural implications were carefully inspected.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations (MDS) Generation of phosphorylated structure: The mitochondrial complex I (CI) structure (PDB

of

code: 5XTB) was downloaded from PDB (https://www.rcsb.org) followed by MDS analysis

ro

of three subunits NDUFS1, NDUFV1 and NDUFV2 which interact with each other in the

-p

peripheral arm of the complex. The MDS were performed using the MD package, Desmond

re

4.4 software [44] on the phosphorylated and unmodified subunits of the complex. Based on the MS data, phosphorylated residues in these three subunits (T599, S650 and S478/S479 in

lP

NDUFS1, S31 in NDUFV1, S145 and T163 in NDUFV2) were introduced by replacing

na

unmodified residues with phosphorylated amino acid. The proteins were processed using the protein preparation wizard module of the Schrodinger Drug Discovery Suite. The protein

Jo ur

structures were reviewed for the presence of any important water molecules for the simulation. All the water molecules were deleted before the simulation considering that none of them established any important bonds with the protein in its vicinity. Further, the H-bonds were optimized to the neutral pH and performed restrained minimization converging the heavy atoms close to 0.30 Å.

Molecular Dynamics Production: The final molecular dynamics production was carried out for a simulation time of 50 ns by passing the default relaxation of system at a temperature of 300 K and pressure of 1.01 bar. The trajectory files were recorded for every 4.8 ps. The final simulation trajectories were analyzed using other Desmond operations including Root mean

12

Journal Pre-proof square deviation (RMSD), Root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and radius of gyration (Rg) of the proteins. PyMOL (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System) was used for viewing trajectories and exhibition of the important aspects as illustrations.

Analysis of trajectories: The 50 ns trajectories of the control (unmodified) and phosphorylated CI subunits were analyzed for protein backbone parameters such as the RMSD, RMSF, secondary structure and Rg throughout the duration of the simulation. The

of

RMSD and Rg values were calculated against the simulation time and expressed as the

ro

deviation or radius of the selected group of atoms, respectively, in Å. The RMSF values of

-p

the protein backbone were calculated over the range of residues and expressed as summation

re

throughout the simulation for each residue and was expressed in Å. Although the RMSD and Rg values were calculated for the protein backbone, the same parameters were also calculated

lP

for the three individual subunits of CI to describe the detailed effects translated over the

na

timeline. The distances between electron transfer groups involving the FMN and iron-sulfur [Fe-S] clusters were calculated for the control and phosphorylated form. The Desmond

Statistical analysis

For the MS experiment, data regarding the list of proteins and corresponding fold changes across the replicates compared with the corresponding controls was uploaded on Perseus software for calculation of p-value [45].

Journal Pre-proof Results Characteristics of human muscle tissues For the current study, we chose muscle biopsies from dysfy (representing dystrophic pathology), PM (representing inflammatory pathology) and DMRV. The muscle morphology of these pathologies compared with control biceps/quadriceps (n=3) [with No Diagnostic Pathology (NDP)] was confirmed, as described [19, 21] (data not shown). Immunostaining, western blotting and genetic analysis based confirmation of loss of dysferlin protein in dysfy

of

cases has been described [19].

ro

Since the NDP samples were limited in number with inadequate tissue in each case,

-p

we utilized paraspinal muscle from non-neuromuscular cases as control for the proteomics

re

experiment. Control experiments from our previous study on health muscle [19] demonstrated that paraspinal, biceps and quadriceps muscle displayed similar mitochondrial

lP

function. A pilot study revealed that the mitochondrial yield required for the

na

phosphoproteomics experiment from individual muscle biopsy of pathological conditions especially dysfy was poor prompting us to pool the samples from each group.

Jo ur

Muscle biopsies from confirmed cases of dysfy (n=10), DMRV (n=10) and PM (n=10) and age-matched healthy controls (n=10) were utilized in the current study (Table 1). Following confirmation of diagnosis total mitochondria from muscle biopsies of dysfy, DMRV and PM and controls, were subjected to tryptic digestion and TMT labelling followed by total proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis (Figure 1). The complete mitochondrial phosphoprotein profile in healthy muscle was analyzed followed by its comparison across different disease samples to understand the molecular basis of mitochondria dysfunction in these pathologies. Before comparing the phosphoproteome between healthy and diseased tissue, we chose to carry out a comprehensive phosphoprotein profiling in control muscle mitochondria.

14

Journal Pre-proof Phosphoproteomic analysis of muscle mitochondria from healthy controls We first analyzed the mitochondrial phosphoproteome in control muscle tissue (n=10) (Figure 1). The enrichment of phosphopeptides in control muscle mitochondria was followed by stringent data filtering strategy to include only the reliable duplicates in both total and phosphoproteomics data. Preliminary analysis of the raw data did not find any confident hit exclusive to either the disease or control samples. This is possible because we had acquired our data in MS2 mode due to low amount of sample, which potentially leads to

of

underrepresentation of such candidates. Although acquiring data in MS3 mode (which

ro

provides better quantitation) might help in identifying such unique phosphopeptides, it

-p

requires significantly higher quantity of mitochondria. Hence mitochondrial proteins that

re

were commonly detected in controls and disease samples were considered for further analysis. Further, proteins not detected in the total mitochondrial proteome data were

lP

excluded. Total proteome analysis identified 1715 cellular proteins including 581

na

mitochondrial proteins across all the groups (Figure 2A) indicating ~ 50 % coverage of mitochondrial proteins as per the Human MitoCarta2.0 database (www.broadinstitute.org/

Jo ur

files/ shared/ metabolism/ mitocarta/ human.mitocarta2.0. html). Phosphoproteomics data revealed a total of 950 phosphopeptides from 506 proteins (Figure 2A and Supplementary Figure S1). This corresponds to 888 singly phosphorylated phosphopeptides (93.5 % of total phosphopeptides), 57 doubly phosphorylated phosphopeptides (6 % of total phosphopeptides) and 5 triply phosphorylated phosphopeptides (0.52 % of total phosphopeptides). The 950 phosphopeptides corresponded to 928 unique phosphosites, with 731 phosphorylated serine (p-ser) residues, 156 phosphorylated threonine (p-thr) residues and 41 phosphorylated tyrosine (p-tyr) residues. Among the 950 phosphopeptides, 253 unique phosphosites (+25 ambiguous sites= 278 sites) corresponded to 119 mitochondrial proteins and 264 phosphopeptides and the remaining 686 phosphopeptides corresponded to 387 organellar and

proteins,

corresponded

to

259

singly

phosphorylated peptides (98.1 % of total phosphopeptides) and 5 doubly phosphorylated peptides (1.9 % of total phosphopeptides). The 253 mitochondrial unique phosphosites entails 194 p-ser, 37 p-thr and 22 p-tyr residues. Ser was the most phosphorylated residue both in total and mitochondrial phosphoproteome. Interestingly, 151 mitochondrial phosphosites are previously reported (Uniprot, PhosphoSitePlus and Phosida databases), while the rest of 102

of

mitochondrial phosphosites were novel (Figure 2D). Functional classification of the

ro

phosphoproteins indicated that 56 % of phosphorylation events were in proteins localized to

-p

the inner mitochondrial membrane, 21 % proteins to the mitochondrial matrix, 17 % proteins

re

to the outer membrane and 5.6 % to the inter-membrane space (Figure 2B). In a previous study on human muscle mitochondrial proteome, 155 distinct

lP

phosphorylation sites in 76 mitochondrial phosphoproteins, including 116 p-ser, 23 p-thr, and

na

16 p-tyr residues were reported [46]. Comparison of these numbers with our study indicated that 44 phosphoproteins were common with the previous study, while 32 were unique to that

Jo ur

study, while 73 proteins were unique in our study (Figure 2C-D). Analysis of the phosphorylation profile indicated that phosphorylated proteins were part of metabolic pathways, redox proteins and redox processes, mitochondrial organization, structure, fusion and mitophagy, apoptosis, chaperone function, membrane transport among others including phosphoproteins with unknown function (Figure 2B). Assessment of functional protein-protein interaction based on string database analysis among the phosphoproteins indicated that all the proteins shared a strong link (Figure 3). Among these, majority of the phorphorylated proteins contributed to metabolic pathways and mitochondrial organization (Figure 4). These mainly included electron transport chain complexes with 36 phosphoproteins corresponding to 82 phosphosites. This included mitochondrial complex I

ATP5A1 subunit of complex V with 10 sites had the most phosphosites among the respiratory complexes. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle included 13 phosphorylated proteins corresponding to 24 sites (Figure 5A). Among the other mitochondrial proteins, Trifunctional enzyme subunit alpha

The phosphopeptide sequences obtained from the phosphoproteome data provided a

source for assessing the kinase families involved in phosphorylation and their substrates. We used Kinasephos tool to generate a list of predicted potential kinases of 250 distinct

mitochondrial phosphosites based on reported consensus sequences. Our data revealed 18 kinases to act on the specific motifs in different mitochondrial phosphosites. Among these, Protein Kinase G (PKG) was found to act on majority of the peptide motifs (n=30) followed by ATM Ser/Thr Kinase, Protein Kinase C (PKC), MAP Kinase (MAPK), Protein Kinase A (PKA) among others (Figure 5B, Supplementary Table S3).

Phosphorylation profile of mitochondrial proteins in muscle pathologies Analysis of the phosphoproteome from different pathologies vs. control revealed a total of 135 phosphopeptides corresponding to 110 proteins to be differentially phosphorylated (Peptides with ≥1.5 fold increase in phosphorylation= hyperphophorylation; peptides with

Among the hyperphosphorylated proteins, 9 sites in 9 peptides of 9 proteins were noted in Dysfy, 7 sites in 7 peptides of 7 proteins in DMRV, while 32 sites in 30 peptides of

23 proteins were noted in PM (Figure 6A-D and Table 4). Among the hypophosphorylated

The kinase profiling revealed Creatine Kinase II (CKII) to contribute the maximum towards differential phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins in muscle pathologies, followed by PKG (Figure 6G).

Journal Pre-proof Structural implications of phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins Protein phosphorylation regulates mitochondrial function probably by influencing the structure-function relationship of specific proteins. To understand this, we investigated the structural influence of phosphorylation on selected mitochondrial proteins by structural bioinformatics approach. Accordingly, Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC-1), ATP synthase and mitochondrial complex I (NADH-Ubiquinone oxidoreductase) were chosen for structural analysis. VDAC-1 displayed phosphorylation of 7 residues. Structural modelling of

of

165, T167, S234 and S240 in human VDAC 1 (PDB id: 5XDO) showed that the distance

ro

between these residues and the neighbouring amino acids was significantly changed

-p

following phosphorylation (Figure 7A-D), which could induce potential alterations in the

local structure. Similar analysis in the ATP5B 1 subunit of bovine ATP synthase (PDB id: 5FIK) revealed that the distance between residues T60, T116, S327 and S415 and the

lP

neighbouring amino acids was significantly changed following phosphorylation (Figure 7E-I)

na

indicating potential alterations in the local structure. To understand whether altered local structure could potentially impinge on the overall

Jo ur

structure of mitochondrial proteins, we chose mitochondrial complex I (CI), whose phosphorylation status has been associated with altered mitochondrial function [26]. Fourteen phosphosites were detected in 10 subunits of CI (Table 2). This included 5 sites in three important subunits NDUFS1 (T613, S664), NDUFV1 (S31) and NDUFV2 (S145, T163) that interact with each other. These possess FMN and Fe-S cluster sites making them physiological relevant to the enzyme activity of CI. The location of these subunits in human complex I structure (PDB id: 5XTD and 5XTB) and the phosphosites in these subunits are indicated in Figure 8. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) of unphosphorylated forms of NDUFS1, NDUVF1 and NDUFV2 vs. phosphorylated proteins was carried out. All the three subunits

19

Journal Pre-proof are located at the distal end of the peripheral arm of CI. NDUFV1 (MW: 51 kDa) contains the NADH and FMN binding sites along with the Fe-S cluster N3. NDUFV2 (MW: 24 kDa) contains one Fe-S cluster N1a, while NDUFS1 has three Fe-S clusters N1b, N4 and N5. All three subunits participate in the electron transfer activity from FMN to the Fe-S clusters [47]. The structural parameters investigated in CI subunits are represented by Root mean square deviation (RMSD), Root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and radius of gyration (Rg), in addition to visual inspection of trajectory data.

Subunit-wise assessment revealed significant RMSF in NDUFV1 and NDUFS1 and

(Figure 9A). The RMSD of the phosphorylated subunits exhibited significant differences

compared with control (Figure 9B). The backbone of the three chains exhibited higher RMSD from 0-10 ns compared to control. RMSD of NDUFV1 did not show any difference between

The RMSD of NDUFV2 remained unchanged in the phosphorylated form compared to control until 30 ns, by significantly decreased from 30 ns up to 50 ns (Figure 9E). These data indicate significantly altered structure of the three subunits following phosphorylation, which could affect CI function. To test whether electron transfer through the three phosphorylated subunits could be affected, we measured the distance between two consecutive electron transferring units including FMN and Fe-S clusters in the phosphorylated form compared to control. Our data revealed that the distances between FMN and N3 and between N3 and N1b were significantly higher in the phosphorylated form compared to control, while the distance between FMN and N1a was altered to a small extent indicating that phosphorylation could affect the efficiency of electron transfer and

20

Journal Pre-proof consequently the activity of CI (Figure 9F-H). However, neither the overall backbone of all three chains nor the individual subunits in the phosphorylated form revealed any significant differences in Rg values compared with the control (Supplementary Figure S2 A-D).

Journal Pre-proof Discussion Phosphoproteomics of normal muscle provides insights into mitochondrial dynamics The mitochondrial phosphoproteome has been reported in plants, yeast and mammalian tissues [27]. The rat mitochondrial phosphoproteome displays tissue specificity [48]. Accordingly, muscle and heart shared 39 %, while liver shared 19 and 25 % of phosphosites with muscle and heart respectively. While OXPHOS and the TCA cycle proteins were phosphorylated in heart and muscle, liver displayed phosphorylation of proteins

of

involved in fatty acid and amino acid metabolism [48]. Mouse liver mitochondria displayed

ro

strain-specific and biological condition-specific phosphorylation [49]. These data indicate

-p

that the phosphoprotein profile is influenced by tissue/cell type and other physiological

re

paraments. Similarly, muscle health and disease could also correlate with muscle-specific alterations in the mitochondrial phosphoproteome.

lP

The first phosphoproteomic study in human skeletal muscle identified 306

na

phosphosites in 127 proteins, with only a few mitochondrial phosphosites [50]. Mitochondrial phosphoproteomics in human skeletal muscle identified 155 phosphosites in 77 mitochondrial

Jo ur

proteins [46]. The largest study in human muscle mitochondria reported 207 phosphosites in 95 proteins [51]. However, mitochondrial phosphoproteomics of the skeletal muscle from healthy subjects vs. patients with varied muscle pathologies are non-existent, highlighting the novelty of our study. We identified 253 phosphosites in 264 phosphopeptides of 119 mitochondrial proteins in human skeletal muscle. Comparison with the previous muscle mitochondrial studies [46, 50-52] revealed 151 to be common phosphosites, while 102 sites were novel. The phosphosite numbers could be improved by including proteins not covered by MitoCarta [53] and employing complementary fragmentation strategies [54]. Most of the phosphoproteins identified in our study are involved in metabolic pathways, redox processes, mitochondrial organization, fusion, mitophagy, apoptosis,

22

Journal Pre-proof chaperone function and membrane transport among others (Figure 2B) consistent with previous studies [46, 51, 55]. Among these, respiratory complexes, TCA cycle and fatty acid metabolism enzymes displayed robust phosphorylation with respiratory complexes accounting for 84 phosphosites in 36 phosphoproteins. Additional sites could be identified by targeted phosphoproteomics of each complex. Complex V with 35 sites in 10 subunits was the most phosphorylated complex (Table 2). This is significantly higher than the previous study [51], which detected 13 phosphosites across 8 subunits (Supplementary Table S4).

of

Conversely, some phosphosites reported earlier were undetected in this study. CISD1

ro

(CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 1; MitoNeet), an outer mitochondrial

-p

membrane protein that regulates oxidative phosphorylation with implications in human

re

disease [56-58] was reported to be phosphorylated at ser2 and ser7 [46, 59]. While we did not detect these sites, we noted phosphorylation at Thr94 (Table 2). VDAC 1-3 proteins which

lP

form membrane channels [60] were reported to be phosphorylated at 19 distinct sites [46],

na

while we recorded 13 sites (Table 2). Our recent bioinformatics study [26], predicted 450 ser, 352 thr and 187 tyr residues to be potentially phosphorylated in CI. The vast difference

Jo ur

between the experimental and bioinformatics data could be due to the transient nature of phosphorylation, tissue specificity, loss of phosphopeptides during MS, limitations of enrichment techniques etc.

The functional significance, mole fractions of phosphopeptides and role of the kinases/ phosphatases are unknown for most phosphosites. Many sites could be less specific without any functional role indicating that each site has to be carefully studied [27, 51, 55]. We chose to assess these by structural biology approach. Molecular modelling revealed significant alteration in the local structure in VDAC1 and ATP5B1 (Figures 7-8). MDS analysis concluded that phosphorylation could alter the efficiency of electron transfer from FMN, ultimately influencing CI activity (Figures 9-10). We are tempted to speculate that the

23

Journal Pre-proof mitochondria sense the metabolic flux across the respiratory complexes and utilize transient phosphorylation to fine tune the efficiency of electron transfer, proton pumping and the rate of ATP production.

Role of kinases in healthy muscle mitochondria The distribution of p-ser/p-thr/p-tyr residues and phosphopeptide motifs reflects the mitochondrial kinases [52]. Mammalian skeletal muscle [50, 52] and human skeletal muscle

of

mitochondria display higher fraction (4-5%) of p-tyr residues although this might not specific

ro

to muscle mitochondria [46, 48, 51, 61-64].

-p

Our study predicted Protein Kinase G (PKG) as the most predominant kinase

re

followed by ATM and in healthy muscle mitochondria (Figure 5B), in contrast with previous studies [46, 48, 51], which reported protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and

lP

glycogen synthase kinase (GSK), followed by CKII and DNAPK as predominant kinases.

na

This disparity should be interpreted with caution since many kinase motifs could be nonspecific and without physiological importance [55]. PKG potentially influences

Jo ur

mitochondrial function. PKG protects mitochondria by stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis via regulation of PGC1-α expression [65-67]. Activation of PKG protects heart mitochondria by inhibiting the opening of mitochondria permeability transition pore via opening mitochondria KATP channel [68, 69]. Similarly, PKA and PKC have been reported to have mitochondrial localization and phosphorylates respiratory complexes and other mitochondrial proteins with effects on mitochondrial function, cell survival among others [27].

Potential role of differentially phosphorylated mitochondrial proteins in muscle diseases Studies correlating phosphoproteome with diseases have focused on metabolic disorders such as diabetes [54]. Insulin-dependent phosphorylation of respiratory complexes

24

Journal Pre-proof and other mitochondrial proteins in the muscle [70, 71] leading to switch in fuel preference [72] indicate disease-specific transient phosphorylation. Studies on disease specific mitochondrial phosphoproteome in the skeletal muscle are not available making this as one of the first studies. We considered muscle disease to be represented by three varied pathologies that differ in their manifestation, disease course, and severity of the symptoms. Previously [19], we noted that all three pathologies shared commonly down-regulated mitochondrial proteins. We hypothesized that PTMs could offer

of

disease-specific variations in the mitochondrial function. This was substantiated by

ro

phosphoprotein profiling since the number of common hypo and hyperphoshorylated proteins

-p

were not substantially common among the conditions (Figure 6E). Altered phosphorylation

re

could have significant functional implications. NDUFS4 subunit of CI showed altered phosphorylation in muscle pathology (Table 7). The mitochondrial import of NDUFS4 and

lP

assembly of a functional CI is dependent on phosphorylation [73].

na

The mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS) complex regulates inner mitochondrial membrane structure via interaction with the respiratory

Jo ur

complexes and membrane lipids [74, 75]. MIC60, the central component of MICOS is potentially targeted for phosphorylation by PKA. Out study showed hypophosphorylation of MIC60 in all the conditions. PKA-mediated phosphorylation of MIC60 is associated with the mitochondrial translocation of proteins and mitochondrial function [76]. The phosphorylation status of Prohibitin 1 (PHB1) is associated with cell apoptosis, survival, and differentiation and could influence the mitochondria genome, mitochondrial dynamics, morphology and biogenesis [77]. Our study showed hypophosphorylation of PHB2 at S151 in dysfy (Table 7). The preprotein translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) facilitates import of nuclear-encoded proteins into mitochondria and consists of three receptors Tom20, Tom22, Tom70 and Tom40. Cytosolic kinases regulate the biogenesis and activity of the Tom

25

Journal Pre-proof receptors, with TOMM20 being influenced by Casein Kinase 2 dependent phosphorylation [78]. We noted that ATP synthase subunits displayed robust phosphorylation with implications for structural alterations with two subunits ATP5A1 and TAP5B displayed hyperphosphorylation in muscle pathologies (Table 6). The ATP5B subunit is demonstrated to have abnormal phosphorylation at specific sites in insulin-resistant muscle with hyperphosphorylation of selected sites [50]. Boja et al (2009) demonstrated altered

of

phosphorylation of the ATP5A1 subunit in response to physiological stimuli [79]. The same

ro

study also showed that the S337 site hyper-phosphorylated in BCKDH protein in all the

-p

conditions in our study (Table 6), displayed hyperphosphorylation at the same site with

re

implications for altered activity.

Proteins such as COX6C and TOMM20 showed contrasting phosphorylation status in

lP

different pathologies indicating disease-specific alterations (Table 6 and 7). While COX6C

na

was hyperphosphorylated at S73 in Dysfy, the same site was hypophosphorylated in PM. On the other hand, while TOMM20 was hyperphosphorylated at S138 in PM, the same site was

Jo ur

hypophosphorylated in DMRV.

In conclusion, protein phosphorylation potentially plays a key role in mitochondrial physiology. However, the kinase/phosphatases involved in mitochondrial protein phosphorylation have yet to be determined for most of the phosphosites reported. Although MS allows us to identify an increasing number of mitochondrial phosphosites, their functional importance is largely unknown. Combination of proteomics with structural biology could provide additional information about the structural role of phosphorylation. Taken together, study of phosphosites will improve our understanding of the mitochondrial metabolism in health and disease with therapeutic implications.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

of

Most human muscle pathologies are associated with significant mortality and

ro

morbidity. While diagnostics of these diseases has significantly advanced, their therapy has met with little success. This is because the underlying pathomechanisms are unclear.

Emerging evidences indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction is crucial in muscle diseases,

involving altered biochemistry, proteome and physiology. The current study highlights that

lP

healthy human muscle contains widespread phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins with structural implications and potential regulatory role in mitochondrial processes. Altered
