Abstract Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have capacity for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation which are of clinical importance for regeneration medicine. Despite the significant progress of hESCs study, the complete hESC proteome atlas, especially the surface protein composition awaits to be delineated. According to the latest release of neXtProt database (2018-01-17, 19,658 PE1,2,3,4 human proteins), membrane proteins present the major category (1,047, 48%) among all 2,186 missing proteins (MPs). We conducted a deep subcellular proteomics analysis of hESCs to identify the nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane proteins in hESCs and to mine missing membrane proteins in the very early cell status. To our knowledge, our study achieved the largest dataset with confident identification of 11,970 unique proteins (1% FDR at peptide, protein and PSM levels), including most comprehensive description of 6,138 annotated membrane proteins in hESCs. Following the HPP guideline, we identified 26 gold (neXtProt PE2,3,4 MPs) and 87 silver (potential MP candidates with a single unique peptide detected) MPs of which 69 were membrane proteins, and expression of 21 gold MPs were further verified either by multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM) or by matching synthetic peptides in the Peptide Atlas database. Functional analysis of the MPs revealed their potential roles in the pluripotency related pathways and the lineage- and tissue-specific differentiation processes. Our proteome map of hESCs may provide rich resource not only for identification of MPs in human proteome but also for investigation on self-renewal and differentiation of hESC. All mass spectrometry data were deposited in ProteomeXchange via jPOST with identifier PXD009840.

Introduction Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), a fundamental cell type, have unique capacity of cell renewal and pluripotency. Under specific stimulations, hESCs can differentiate into various types of cells, tissues and organs with specialized functions 1 which is of clinical interest to be used in regenerative medicine to restore normal cellular functions. Currently, transcription factors including c-Myc, Oct4, Klf4, Nanog and Sox2 are well known regulators for pluripotency.1-4 Many transcriptional factors regulate reprograming of human cell in to different lineages.5 Several intracellular multi-organelle signaling pathways are also involved in regulation of hESC pluripotency. For example, FGF-2 stimulates short-term reorganization and translocation of -catenin into nucleus which then modulates the expression of pluripotent gene expression.6 The activation of NOTCH, a cell surface receptor, would be cleaved by -secretase to generate NOTCH intracellular domain and then translocate into nucleus to regulate the expression of target genes associated with hESC differentiation.7 The cleavage of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) by tumornecrosis-factor alpha converting enzyme results in the release of intracellular domain (EpICD) to translocate into nucleus and stimulate the expression of c-Myc.8 Despite the significant progress of hESCs study, the complete hESC proteome atlas, especially the composition of cell surface factors responsible for maintaining the pluripotent nature of hESCs, are still under-explored.9 According to the most recent release of neXtProt database (2018-01-17), 19,658 proteins (PE1,2,3,4 level) are allocated in the human proteome of which 2186 proteins are still missing10 with no or inadequate evidence of translation (PE2: 1,660, PE3: 452, PE4: 74), which await to be explored by high-stringency mass spectrometry (MS) evidence to confirm their existences in the human proteome.11,12 Factor that contributes to the lack of protein level evidence for missing proteins is related to physicochemical characteristics of special classes of proteins. Among these missing proteins, as high as 1,047 (48%) are annotated membrane proteins. The membrane sub-proteome is still under-explored due to the unique features of low abundance, high hydrophobicity, and poor protease accessibility,13-16 which cause low MS detectivity. Due to the potential roles of membrane proteins in regulating hESC pluripotency, several groups have 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

applied proteomic analysis to study the membrane proteome of hESCs and/or the differentiated cells.17-29 By using various proteomics strategies, these literatures reported identification of 237~2910 membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins or proteins with signal peptides in hESCs. Prokhorova et al. analyzed the SILAC-labeled hESCs and identified 811 membrane proteins.30 McQuade et al. attempted to improve the membrane proteome coverage by using IPG-IEF peptide fraction and identified 1279 membrane proteins in hESCs.31 Gu et al. purified the cell surface proteins by biotin labeling, identifying 1560 cell surface proteins in hESC and germ cells.32 Gerwe et al. analyzed the membrane proteomic signatures of karyotypically normal and abnormal human embryonic stem cell lines and identified 775 membrane proteins and 720 transmembrane proteins,24 Melo-Braga et al. applied quantitative comparison of the membrane proteome, phosphoproteome, and sialiome of hESC and neural stem cells and identified a total of 5,105 proteins whereof 57% contained transmembrane domains or signal peptides.27 Harkness et al. identified 444 transmembrane or membraneassociated proteins including 15 CD antigens and a number of surface marker molecules previously not observed in hESC at a proteome level.33 Large-scale profiling was reported by Sarkar et al. that subcellular proteomic analysis of hESC revealed 893, 2475, and 1,185 proteins in the nuclear, cytosolic, and membrane fractions, respectively.26 Recently, Ghazizadeh and colleagues used shotgun proteomics approach to search for surface markers for the ISL1+ cardiac progenitor cells derived from hESCs.34 . ALCAM (CD166) was identified as a specific surface marker that could be used to enrich these progenitor cells. They further used this purification strategy to characterize the human ISL1+ cardiac progenitors and demonstrated their potential for cell therapy in a myocardial infarction model.34 Although the optimized technology provides large-scale protein identifications in hESC, the surface membrane protein markers based on different cell type or lineage-specificities remain to be discovered.18 Delineating the membrane subproteome may discover cell surface markers for sorting or isolation, exchange of molecule and regulating signal transduction. Nevertheless, transcriptome analysis could not fulfill such need of membrane protein identification of hESCs.

Various reasons may account for the difficulty of mass spectrometry-based identification of MPs. Among them, targeting membrane proteins with special physical and chemical properties have been reported to efficient strategy to identify MPs.15 In addition to these intrinsic properties35 some proteins may have tissue- or cell-specific expressions which cannot be ubiquitously found in every biological samples. Taken together, delineation of the proteome map of a hESCs may provide rich resource not only for investigation on self-renewal and differentiation of hESC but also identification of MPs of human proteome. In this study, we aimed to conduct a deep proteome analysis of hESCs based on the subcellular separations, extensive peptide fractionation, and high precision MS analysis. To our knowledge, this study presents the largest dataset of confident identification of a total of 11,970 proteins, including the most comprehensive description of 6,138 annotated membrane proteins from hESCs to date. Such dataset allows identification of 26 gold (neXtProt PE2,3,4 MP) and 87 silver (potential MP candidates with a single unique peptide detected) MPs from the Human Proteome Project (HPP) Data Interpretation Guidelines.10,36,37 The functional analysis of MPs revealed their potential roles in GPCR-related pathways to regulate self-renewal and lineage specific differentiation of hESCs in the very early cell status.

Culture of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (H9 Cell Line) The hESCs, H9 (46, XX; WiCell ResearchInstitute Inc., Madison, WI, USA) was grown on mitotically-inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblasts in DMEM/F12 medium with 20% Knockout Serum Replacement, 1% non-essential amino acids, 2 mM Lglutamine (all from Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Walthan, MA, USA), 100 mM beta-mercaptoethanol (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and basic fibroblast growth factor (5 ng/ml; Sigma). Subculture of hESCs was performed every 7 days.
Subcellular Fractionation, Protein Extraction and Digestion The H9 cells were subjected to subcellular fractionation based on our previously reported protocol.38 Briefly, H9 cells were washed with PBS, collected, suspended with hypotonic buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl) with protease inhibitor cocktail (100:1, sample/protease inhibitor, v/v) for 15 min on ice, and homogenized by Dounce homogenizer for 50 passes. The cell lysate was centrifuged at 1000 x g for 10 min at 4°C to obtain nucleus pellet (nuclear fraction). The postnuclear supernatant was adjusted to contain 0.25 M sucrose and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 h at 4°C to separate membrane protein pellet and supernatant (cytoplasmic fraction). The membrane pellet was washed with 1 ml of ice-cold 0.1 M Na2CO3 (pH 11.5) and then centrifuged to obtain the crude membrane fraction. Protein digestion was performed using previously described gel-assisted digestion method.38 The nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane protein pellets were dried and resuspended with denaturing buffer (2% SDS, 6 M urea, 5 mM EDTA, 0.1 M TEABC, pH 8) separately followed by sonication at 4°C for 15 min.

The protein solution was polymerized as gel by mixing with acrylamide/bisacrylamide solution (40%, 29:1), 10% APS, TEMED solution in microcentrifuge tube in a volume ratio of 14:0.7:0.3. After several washings with 50% ACN containing 25 mM TEABC, trypsin (trypsin: protein = 1:10) was added into the protein gels for overnight incubation at 37°C. Peptides were sequentially extracted with 25 mM TEABC, 0.1% TFA in water, 50% ACN in 0.1% TFA, and 100% ACN, and then vacuum dried in speedVac (Thermo Savant SC210A, Holbrook, NY).
Peptide Fractionation The membrane peptides were fractionated by using Hp-RP StageTips39 and HpRP HPLC40 using the protocol described before. In brief, for Hp-RP StageTip method, C8 membrane was properly inserted into Gilson 200-µL pipet tips used as a frit. 5 mg of C18–AQ beads (5 µm) were packing into the StageTips, washed and conditioned adequately by centrifugation at 1,500 x g for 2 min. 20 µg membrane peptides were redissolved in 200 mM NH4COOH (pH 10) and transferred into the StageTips followed by centrifugation at 1,500 x g for 2 min to elute the peptides in 7 fractions with increasing ACN concentration. For Hp-RP-HPLC fractionation, 200 µg of membrane peptides was resuspended in 200 µl buffer A (5 mM ammonium formate, pH 10, 2% ACN) and loaded onto a HPLC Column Zorbax 300 Extend-C18 (4.5 mm x 250 mm, 5 µm) using Waters 2650 HPLC system (monitored at 280 nm), separated with a 120min gradient at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Buffer B was made of 90% ACN and 5 M ammonium formate. The running gradient was started with 100% buffer A from 0 to 9 min, then linear gradient of 6% B (9 to 13 min), 28.5% B (13 to 63 min), 34% B (63 to 68.5 min) and 60% B (68.5 to 81.5 min). Buffer B was kept at 60% from 81.5 to 90 min, continued with linear gradient 90% B (90 to 92 min), and equilibrated to 100% buffer A from 100 to 120 min. Subsequently, 96 fractions were collected and concatenated to 12 fractions followed by desalted with StageTip packing with SDBXC membrane and C18 beads (10 mg, 5 µm). Using the same Hp-RP-HPLC method described above, 300 µg of cytoplasmic and nuclear peptides were separately fractionated to collect 24 fractions for LC-MS/MS analysis. 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

LC-MS/MS Analysis All fractions were analyzed by using LTQ Orbitrap Fusion or Fusion™ Lumos™ Tribrid™ mass spectrometers (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) equipped with Dionex Ultimate 3000 nanoLC system (Thermo Scientific). The Hp-RP fractions were dried, re-suspended in loading buffer (0.1% FA in deionized H2O) and loaded onto a 25-cm x 75-m C18 column (Acclaim PepMap® RSLC, Thermo ScientificTM) equipped with a NanoSpray interface. The peptides were eluted using 150 min nonlinear gradient as follows: 0-1% B (0.1% FA in ACN) for 1 min, 1-2% B for 1 min, 2-10% B for 18 min, 10-25% B for 75 min, 25-35% B for 35 min, 35-90% B for 1 min, and 90% B for 5 min. The 15 most intense ions were sequentially isolated with an isolation window of 1.4 Da for higher-energy collision dissociation and detected in the orbitrap with previously selected ions dynamically excluded for 60 s.

Database Search and Protein Identifications The MS/MS raw files were processed with Proteome Discoverer (PD, version 2.1.0.81, Thermo Fisher) against SwissProt human protein database (release 2015.12, 20,055 entries) using three searching engines including Mascot (v2.3.2), Sequest HT (v2.1) and MS Amanda (v1.0). The mass tolerances for precursor and fragment ions were set as 10 ppm and 0.02 Da respectively. Trypsin was used for digestion with maximum of 2 missed cleavages. Methylthio (Cys) was set as fixed modifications whereas oxidation (Met) and deamidation (Asn and Gln) were set as variable modifications. To ensure high confidence in identification results, identification results were filtered to 1% false discovery rate (FDR) in peptide-spectra match (PSM), peptide and protein levels. Here the search result from each engine and all the raw files selected were combined to obtain a new FDR estimation. Therefore, each 48 raw files of 24 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

fractions were searched separately to obtain identification per file and then consensus workflow was applied using the search result to get a combined search result with a controlled FDR filtering. Therefore, instead of adding up identification from each raw file manually, combined filtering based on the new combined FDR provided a more confident identification for grouped peptide and protein list. In this study, we have combined all results from the three subcellular fractions and two batches (total of 230 raw files) to obtain the identification result. Based on the quality of each PSM, PD assigns percolator q-values and Posterior Error Probabilities (PEPs) to a given target and decoy PSMs generated by each search engines and the FDR was separately calculated and determined for PSMs by using the highest PSM and decoy ranks (rank 1) for each spectrum. The PD calculated FDR of peptides by assigning q-and PEP values which were then assigned confidence scores based on the target FDRs (1%). Protein FDR was also calculated and assigned individual scores based on PEP values of PSMs. In this study, we obtained the total list of identified proteins in nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane proteomes by adopting the consensus workflow in PD to combine all the fraction data with filtering to 1% FDR at PSM, peptide and protein levels with peptide length limited to more than 6 amino acids.
Verification of MPs by Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM)-MS 24 identified unique peptides (≥ 9 amino acids, no missed cleavage) were selected from 12 gold MPs for synthesis of standard peptides (Omics Bio, New Taipei city, Taiwan). Using the standard peptides, we applied the LC-MS/MS analysis (as described in above section) to obtain the PSMs and constructed the spectral library for establishing MRM methods. Top 10 high-intensity fragment ions per peptide precursor were selected and collision energy was optimized varying 5 steps up and down with ± 1 V from the default value. Every MRM analysis was conducted by QTRAP 5500 system (AB SCIEX Concord, ON, Canada) using Trap column (ACQUITY UPLC® symmetry C18, 5 µm, 180 µm x 20mm) with BEH C18-AQ column (nanoACQUITY® 1.7 µm, 75 µm x 250 mm). We used a 2-h LC gradient with a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. Peptides were eluted using the following gradient: 0-1% B (ACN in 0.1% FA) for 0.5 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

In the discovery mode, these endogenous peptides were identified in different subcellular sample and peptide fractions. Thus, 24 peptides were analyzed in duplicate in their respective subcellular sample and fraction in nonscheduled mode over 2-h LCMRM MS analysis.
Functional Analysis of Identified Proteins Annotation of identified proteins for their subcellular localization, membrane proteins, transmembrane protein helix (TMH) distribution, missing protein, protein evidence levels and chromosomal distribution was performed based on the latest version of neXtProt (2018-01). To annotate the experimental and predicted evidences for membrane proteins, we extracted three annotation codes in neXtProt, including ECO:0001053 (immunocytochemistry evidence from HPA)43, ECO:0000269 (experimental evidence used in manual assertion from Uniprot)44 and ECO:0000314 (direct assay evidence used in manual assertion from Gene Ontology) for annotation of experimentally verified membrane proteins. Other codes were assigned as prediction evidences , including ECO:0000049 (reporter gene assay evidence), ECO:0000212 (combinatorial evidence), ECO:0000250 (sequence similarity evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000255 (match to sequence model evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000303 (non-traceable author statement used in manual
assertion),
ECO:0000304 (traceable author statement used in manual assertion), ECO:0000305 (curator inference used in manual assertion), ECO:0000315 (mutant phenotype evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000316 (genetic interaction evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000318 (biological aspect of ancestor evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000318 (biological aspect of ancestor evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000320 (phylogenetic determination of loss of key residues evidence used in manual assertion), ECO:0000353 (physical interaction evidence used in manual assertion) and ECO:0000501 (evidence used in automatic assertion). We used Protter (v1)45 to construct the possible topology of missing membrane proteins with multiple TMH domains. The in silico digestion of peptides was generated using PeptideMass in ExPASy (https://web.expasy.org/peptide_mass/). For functional annotation of identified proteins, Gene Ontology, Keyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)46 and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA, version: 43605602) were used to annotate pathways and involved molecules related to pluripotency and 11 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

differentiations of hESCs. The mRNA expression levels of gold and silver missing proteins in human tissues and organs were extracted from Human Protein Atlas (HPA)43 with transcript per million values (TPM). Missing proteins with mRNA expression levels higher than 10 TPM were assigned into corresponding organs and tissues.
Results and Discussion A deep subproteome analysis identified 11,970 proteins in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) In order to gain more insights on the proteome organization associated with hESC function, we firstly conducted a comprehensive proteome analysis in hESCs for dissecting the molecular landscape. Due to the complexity, spatial and dynamic expressions of proteins,47,48 subcellular fractionation were applied for comprehensive proteome profiling of hESC49. As shown in Figure 1A, nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane protein fractions were purified from hESCs using our reported 2-step centrifugation with sucrose, followed by gel-assisted digestion with trypsin, peptide fractionation and LC-MS/MS analysis.38,50 s membrane subproteome are low abundant to result in few micrograms of peptide digest, we employed our developed sensitive high-pH reversed phase (Hp-RP) stop-and-go extraction tip (StageTip) technique to collect 7 RP fractions. For cytoplasmic and nuclear subproteomes, we applied off-line high-pH reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography fractionation (Hp-RPHPLC) to generate 96 fractions and then combine into 24 RP fractions. Each subcellular proteome has two replicate analysis and all the RP fractions were analyzed in duplicate by Orbitrap Fusion™ or Fusion™ Lumos™ Tribrid™ mass spectrometers. Protein identifications were performed for each RP fraction by using Proteome Discoverer 2.1 (PD 2.1) with three search engines, Mascot, SequestHT and MSAmanda, at 1% FDR in PSM, peptide and protein levels. The total list of identified proteins in nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane proteomes were obtained by combining all the fraction data using the consensus workflow in PD 2.1 (1% protein FDR, Figure 1B). Although the consensus workflow would reduce the number of identified proteins, highly confident identification result was expected.37

For all peptide fractionation, an average of 4,789 ± 164 proteins and 21,001 ± 1,836 peptides were obtained per fraction. The peptide fractionation efficiency of HpRP-HPLC for the three subproteomes were shown in Supplementary Figure S-1. Most fractions had < 15% overlapping of identified peptides between two adjacent fractions, suggesting adequate peptide fractionation efficiency in both fractionation methods. After combining all the fraction results by using the consensus workflow in PD 2.1, we identified a total of 8,742 proteins (133,802 unique peptides), 10,757 proteins (187,365 unique peptides) and 9,228 proteins (157,665 unique peptides) in the membrane, nuclear and cytoplasmic subproteomes, respectively. Taken together, our study achieved an identification of 11,970 unique proteins (264,088 unique peptides) in hESCs of which 6,874 proteins (57.4%) were commonly identified in the three subproteomes while 620, 932, and 535 proteins were uniquely identified in one of the subproteomes respectively (Figure 2A and Supplementary Table S-1). In comparison with the published large-scale proteomics analysis of hESCs and/or the differentiated cell types which have reported more than 10,000 identified proteins28,29 (Figure 2B), to our knowledge, this study presented the largest dataset of hESCs with additional identification of 3,626 unique protein coding genes in hESCs. In line with the C-HPP uPE1/CP50 initiative goal, we analyzed the potential functions of identified PE1 proteins having unknow functional annotation in neXtProt 2018-01. A total of 570 uPE1 proteins were identified in our dataset (Supplementary Table S8a) of which 28 were located in chromosome 4 (Supplementary Table S-8b). According to our data, some uPE1 proteins in chromosome 4 showed overexpression levels in lung cancer tissues (unpublished). In our future study, we will verify the expression and potential functions of these proteins in lung cancer. Membrane proteome profile of hESCs Membrane proteome, particularly those with transmembrane helix (TMH) domains, remains underrepresented in proteomic studies due to their low abundance and hydrophobic nature to cause challenges in solubilization, proteolysis and low MS detectability.51 In the latest neXtProt database (2018_01, 19,658 PE1,2,3,4 protein sequences), 1,047 membrane proteins still remain missing (without protein-level 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

In previous publications focusing on membrane proteome analysis of hESCs cells.17-29 Two hundred thirty seven to 2,910 membrane proteins were observed in each work and a total of 7,222 membrane proteins have been reported in hESCs. Compared to these accumulated data, we found that our study revealed 2,934 newly identified proteins. Among them, 802 proteins were membrane associated proteins, including 163 plasma membrane proteins, 255 probable membrane proteins and 384 peripheral membrane proteins (Figure 2C). We further annotated the cellular localizations and the number of TMH for all 11,970 identified proteins using the latest version of neXtProt (2018-01). Protein with the

Other evidence codes were applied for predicted membrane protein annotations. Among the 11,970 identified proteins, a total of 6,138 proteins were annotated as membrane proteins (4,733 by experimental evidences and 1,405 by prediction) including 3,033 (50%) plasma membrane proteins, 1,328 probable membrane proteins and 1,735 peripheral membrane proteins (Figure 2D, Supplementary Table S-3). In addition, several organelle specific membrane proteins were also identified including nucleus membrane (n=358), ER membrane (n=671), mitochondria membrane (n=400) and golgi membrane proteins (n=546). This dataset also identified 2,626 integral membrane proteins with more than one TMH which is nearly 43% of annotated membrane proteins (Figure 2E). About 52% of integral membrane proteins have more than 2 TMHs; 90% of them have up to 12 TMHs including voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C (CACNA1C) with the highest number of 249 TMHs. In summary, these analyses suggested that our results revealed the most comprehensive membrane proteome of hESCs to date that 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Stepwise Filtering of Missing Proteins in hESC Proteomes The deep hESC proteome and newly identified proteins allows us to mine the missing proteins (MPs) that might be associated with pluripotency-related functions. Following Human Proteome Project Data Interpretation Guidelines (version 2.1.0)37, we applied a stepwise filtering to analyze the 11,970 identified proteins from subcellular proteomes of hESCs. Table 1 shows the step-by-step criteria and number of proteins and unique peptides after filtering. At 1% peptide and protein FDR, we identified 87, 108 and 68 potential missing proteins with highly confident peptide spectrum matches (PSMs) in membrane, nucleus and cytoplasmic proteomes respectively. Only proteins with at least one unique peptide which has unambiguous PSMs and no missed cleavages were filtered. We then checked whether the identified unique peptide would match to single amino acid variants (SAAVs) of any protein or isobaric substitutions by using peptide uniqueness checker (neXtProt, 20180117 release) and excluded these peptides for confident identification. To identify gold MPs, the final step is to extract proteins that have at least two unique peptides with more than 9 amino acids. With the strict criteria described above, a total of 26 proteins were identified as gold missing proteins (MPs), including 15, 3 and 13 proteins identified in membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus fractions respectively. Among these, 10, 1 and 4 proteins were exclusively identified in membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus fractions respectively. 11 proteins were commonly identified in more than one fraction in the subproteomics of hESCs. The detail identification results for gold MPs were listed in Supplementary Table S-4. As shown in Table 2, 25 proteins have evidences at transcript level (PE2). The gold MP distributed in various chromosomes. The chromosome 19 has highest number of 5 gold MPs, followed by 2 gold MPs each from chromosome 1 and X. The remaining gold MPs are from chromosome 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 22. In addition, many of gold MPs were identified with more than 2 peptides. For example, the top-ranking MP, AMIGO3, was identified with 9 unique peptides in membrane and 15 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

nucleus fraction, suggesting its high abundance in hESCs. Of the 26 gold MPs, 16 proteins contained TMH domains including 5 plasma membrane proteins, 11 probable membrane proteins. The result showed that mining the subcellular proteome of hESC presents an effective strategy to mine missing membrane proteins. In addition to gold MPs, we also identified silver MPs with single unique peptide of length ≥ 9 amino acid residues. Following the same filtering criteria, a total of 87 silver MPs were identified, including 40, 28 and 40 silver MPs from membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus fractions, respectively. Among them, 17 proteins were identified in more than one fractions (Supplementary Table S-5). Structural analysis of the 87 silver MPs revealed 52 membrane proteins of which 46 (88.5%) silver MPs contain TMH domains. The high percentage of integral membrane proteins in the silver membrane MPs highlighted the challenges of identifying missing membrane proteins with multiple peptides. The structural feature of such MP was shown in the example of alpha-2C adrenergic receptor protein (ADRA2C, 49.5 kDa), a MP with 7 TMHs from chromosome 4 (Figure 3). We examined the predicted structure of ADRA2C by using Protter and applied in-silico digestion analysis to generate putative unique and detectable peptides (0 missed cleavage, length between 9 to 40 amino acids) that fulfil the current guideline of missing proteins in HPP. The analyses showed that nine unique tryptic peptides (≥ 9 amino acids) could be derived from ADRA2C. Among these putative 309

peptide was identified with a highly confident PSM (Figure 3C), it did not fit the criteria of peptide with at least 9 amino acids for positive identification of missing proteins. The observation of silver membrane MPs in our data suggested relaxed criteria may be required for identification of missing membrane proteins with multiple TMHs. Multiprotease digestion strategy will be more efficient as an alternative approach to promote silver MPs to gold MPs.
Validation of Gold Missing Proteins by MRM-MS From the 26 highly confident gold missing proteins identified following strict filtering criteria, we aimed to validate some using targeted MRM-MS.15 Although MRM approach is well established for accurate and sensitive quantitation, it was also proposed by HPP as a suitable method for validation of missing proteins.36 To confirm the expression of gold MPs, we have selected 12 gold MPs, including 6 membrane proteins with TMH (P59025-RTP1, Q15760-GPR19, Q5XG99-LYSMD4, Q6P4F1FUT10, Q86WK7-AMIGO3 and Q8N5D6-GBGT1), and 1 membrane protein without TMH (Q6TDP4-KLHL17). The remaining 4 gold MPs (C9JN71-ZNF878, Q6ZNA1ZNF836, O95780-ANF692 and O75346-ANF253) were nuclear proteins and one (Q6ZU67-BEND4) without subcellular localization in UniportKB. Selection of these proteins were based on their functional information associated with developmental stages at mRNA level (from HPA database) and most of them were selected from membrane fractions with relatively high number of PSMs. Two unique peptides with good MS detectivity per protein were selected and synthesized for 12 MPs and MRM assay were developed for a total of 24 peptides in hESC cell line. As rigorous MRM assay development is critical in targeted proteomics, we first acquired DDA spectra of the pooled synthetic peptide and built library using Skyline software for further precursor and transition selection.54,55 Top 10 high intensity fragment ions per peptide precursor were selected and collision energy was optimized for MRM-MS. The endogenous peptides were identified in different subcellular part and peptide fractionation. The current hESC data was obtained by extensive peptide fractionation 17 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

(230 fractions) which take long MS acquisition time. For efficient verification by MRM-MS, the 24 synthetic peptides were separately analyzed in different runs. The retention time of each endogenous peptide in the same subcellular and respective 20 fractions was used as reference accordingly. The MRM peak features of endogenous peptides including peak shape, signal-tonoise ratio, relative fragment intensities, and coelution profiles were compared with these from synthetic peptides to confirm the identification of MPs. Representative example was shown in Figure 4 for Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 10 (FUT10). FUT10, a probable fucosyltransferase located at chromomosome 8 with transcript level expression, is a membrane protein with single TMH domain (479 a.a., 56.1 kDa). Using miRNAs knockdown in mice, Kumar et al. reported that Fut10 is involved in α1,3fucosyltransferase activity required for the maintenance of stem cells and for the neural development.56 In our study, FUT10 was identified with three unique peptides from both 258

SRMAtlas is one of the largest public proteome database consisting of experimentally detected peptides as well as synthetic peptides.57 Yamamoto et. al.58 demonstrated a strategy to match the spectra of endogenously detected peptides of missing proteins with their synthetic counterparts in the SRMAtlas; 41missing proteins have been matched from this public dataset.

against the spectra of the corresponding synthetic peptides in SRMAtlas. This verification strategy resulted in additional verification evidences of 11 gold MPs (two peptides for each gold MP). Combined both verification methods (MRM and SRMAtlas) increased confidence of total of 21 gold MPs (8 gold MPs validated by MRM, 11 by SRMAtlas and 2 verified by single peptide). The MRM or PSM spectra of 21 verified gold MPs were summarized in Supplementary Figure S-2, showing high similarity among the PSMs from endogenous peptides, synthetic peptides, and Peptide Atlas peptides, which confirmed the high-confidence identifications. In addition, the single uniquely identified peptides of 33 silver MPs were verified by PeptideAtlas databases suggesting confident identifications (Supplementary Figure S-4). All these results suggested high quality of MS analysis and confident identification of MPs in hESCs. Nevertheless, 54 silver MPs did not have PSMs matched from Peptide Atlas, which may indicate the first identification of those missing proteins in our study.

Functional analysis of missing proteins in hESCs Subcellular localizations of gold and silver missing proteins revealed ahigh percentage of missing membrane proteins in hESCs (Supplementary Table S-4). Ten out of 17 gold membrane missing proteins were localized to several organelle membrane compartments including 6 plasma membrane (RTP1, KLHL17, PCDHGA10, GPR19, GABRQ and PANX2), 3 Golgi membrane (ZDHHC15, GBGT1, FUT10), one secreted to extracellular (PRRG3) and one in endoplasmic reticulum membrane (DISP3). It is noted that these proteins were confidentially identified in membrane fraction (PCDHGA10, GPR19, PANX2, ZDHHC15, DISP3), nuclear fraction (KLHL17) or in both membrane and nuclear fractions (PRRG3, RTP1, GABRQ, GBGT1, FUT10). The other 6 gold MPs were localized to nuclear 19 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

compartments and identified in nuclear fraction (ZNF253, FOXI3, ZNE836); cytoplasm fraction (ZNF682, ZNF730) and in both nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions (ZNF 878) (Figure 5, Supplementary Table S-4). Among the 47 silver MPs classified in membrane localizations, majority are in plasma membrane (28 proteins), 5 secreted to extracellular, 2 in ER membrane, 9 in nucleus, 1 in cytosol and 2 were identified in mitochondrion membrane (Figure 5, Supplementary Table S-5). The predominance of membrane proteins in the identified missing proteins suggested the need and promise to find MPs in the membrane subproteome. Our deep proteomic profiles enabled us to map almost every molecule in the key pathways and network related to the regulation of hESCs (Figure 6A, pink highlighted), many of them are involved in regulation of differentiation, self-renewal, epigenetic regulators, and cellular layers development through the core transcriptional networks in hESC. Interestingly, some identified MPs were associated with canonical pathways such as TGF-ß signaling (PCDHGA10-gold MP, FRAT2-silver MP) and MAPK signaling pathways (FRAT2-silver MP, MMD-silver MP), indicating their potential regulatory functions in hESC biology. Overexpression of FUT10 (gold MP) has been reported to play a critical role in enhancement of self-renewal characteristics in embryonic stem cells.59 In our data, this protein was confidently identified in more than one fractions (membrane and nucleus) and localized to Golgi membrane protein (Figure 5, Table 2) which was associated with STAT3 complex in LIF-AKT-STAT3 pathway (Figure 6A). Thus, it may involve in regulating the core transcriptional networks by interacting with the key transcriptional factors including NANOG, SOX2 and OCT4 and eventually modulate self-renewal or cellular developments. G proteincoupled receptor 19 (GPR19, gold MP), was reported among the list of 20 most positively significant genes in embryonic stem cells which may be crucial for maintaining or differentiating hESCs.60 This gold missing protein was identified in membrane fractions (Figure 5), consistent with its functional annotation as plasma protein receptor. Its role to regulate the GPCR signaling pathway and subsequently affect self-renewal or differentiation of hESCs remains further study. (Figure 6B).

Lineage analysis of identified missing proteins To study the potential role of these missing proteins related to the linage-specific differentiation of hESC, the identified missing proteins were classified into the different lineage-specific differentiation based on the biological process analysis in Gene Ontology database. The lineage analysis of all identified proteins revealed top organspecific proteins and MPs that are associated with lineage-specific differentiations (Figure 7). According to Gene Ontology and DAVID (version 6.8) functional analysis, 97, 53 and 31 proteins were classified in regulation of mesoderm, endoderm and ectoderm differentiations, respectively (Figure 7A, B). Proteins were further categorized to different tissues or organs. Based on the mRNA expression data in HPA, these gold and silver missing proteins were involved in different lineage specific differentiations, suggesting their potential functional roles. Many developmental proteins were identified in each lineage. For example, three gold MPs, SLC10A3, TREM251, and TREM37, were involved in the lung development. The TREM and TREM-like receptors were reported to relate to acute inflammatory responses. The known member TREM-1 plays key role in chronic and non-infectious inflammatory disorders, including various types of cancer.61 The potential role of TREM251 and TREM37 in lung development and tumorigenesis may be explored in the future. Our data may provide a rich resource for hESC protein atlas to study the potential role of specific proteins for regulating embryonic biological processes and pluripotency.
Conclusion Based on the subcellular proteomics analysis strategy which integrate subcellular fractionation, gel-assisted digestion, extensive peptide pre-fractionation, LC-MS/MS analysis with high mass accuracy and high-resolution instrument, and database searching with multiple engines, we have achieved the most comprehensive molecular landscape of hESC to date. In addition, this large-scale proteomic data mined 26 gold MPs and 87 silver MPs.

Figure legend Figure 1: Analytical workflow for subcellular proteome profiling of hESCs. (A) The experimental workflow integrates subcellular fractionation to generate membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus fraction, gel-assisted digestion, high-pH StageTip or HPLC fractionation for peptides, and duplicate LC-MS/MS analysis. (B) The analysis pipeline for protein identifications included multiple database search by using Proteome Discover 2.1 with 1% FDR at PSM, peptide and protein level. The combined protein identifications from each subcellular fraction was obtained using consensus workflow in PD (1% protein FDR) which identified 8742, 9228 and 10757 proteins in membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus fractions, respectively. Following HPP guideline, we were able to identify 26 gold missing proteins (MPs) and 87 silver MPs with single unique peptide identification. Figure 2: Protein identification overview.

A total of 6138 membrane proteins were identified in current study. (E) The distribution of TMH from 2,648 transmembrane proteins. Membrane protein annotation was extracted from neXtProt 2018-01. Figure 3: Example of silver missing protein with multiple TMH domains. (A) The insilico digestion analysis of alpha-2C adrenergic receptor, a plasma membrane proteins encoded from chromosome, showed nine unique tryptic peptides with at least 9 amino acids of which AGAEGGAGGADGQGAGPGAAESGALTASR (red highlighted) was identified in our dataset. A second peptide with 8 amino acid length (SVEFFLSR) was also detected (blue). The other peptide sequences (1-26, 27-43, 44-80, 150-162, 170192, 380-409, 410-420, 421-445) (gray highlighted) mostly locate within or close to lipid bilayer or carry PTMS which hindered them from tryptic digestion and subsequent MS identification.
