    Protocol for Cell Surface Biotinylation of Magnetic Labeled and Captured Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
    (Elsevier, 2022) Ayaz Güner, Şerife; Acar, Mustafa Burak; Boyvat, Dudu; Güner, Hüseyin; Bozalan, Habibe; Güzel, Melis; Yıldır, Selin Kübra; Altınsoy, Nilay; Fındık, Fatma; Karakükçü, Musa; Özcan, Servet
    Analysis of the surfaceome of a blood cell subset requires cell sorting, followed by surface protein enrichment. Here, we present a protocol combining magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS) and surface biotinylation of the target cell subset from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We describe the steps for isolating target cells and their in-column surface biotinylation, followed by isolation and mass spectrometry analysis of biotinylated proteins. The protocol enables in-column surface biotinylation of specific cell subsets with minimal membrane disruption.

    Comparative Proteome Profiles of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Response To Vanillic Acid and 2-Hydroxycinnamic Acid
    (Bentham Science Publishers, 2021) Keman, Deniz; Soyer, Ferda
    Background: The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to cause severe infections and the difficulty of the treatments due to the multiple antibiotic resistance make this bacterium a lifethreatening human pathogen. This situation necessitates the exploration of novel antimicrobial compounds with known targets on bacteria. Phenolic acids naturally produced in plants as secondary metabolites are good candidates for being alternative antimicrobials for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Objective: Investigation of protein profile of Methicillin-Resistant S. Aureus (MRSA) in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of phenolic acids. Methods: MRSA was subjected to subinhibitory concentrations of Vanillic Acid (VA) and 2-Hydroxycinnamic Acid (2-HCA), separately, and the proteomic analyses were carried out by using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Results: Both phenolic acids elicited identification of differently expressed proteins that have roles in DNA replication, repair, RNA processing and transcription, protein synthesis, maintenance of cell homeostasis, several metabolic reactions in energy, carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms and also proteins related with the virulence and the pathogenicity of MRSA when compared with the control group. The numbers of the proteins identified were 444, 375, and 426 for control, VA-treated MRSA, and 2-HCA-treated MRSA, respectively, from which 256 were shared. While VA treatment resulted in 149 unidentified MRSA proteins produced in control, 2-HCA treatment resulted in 126 unidentified proteins. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD016922. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study might indicate the potential targets on bacteria and the effective use of phenolic acids in the battle with antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
