Abstract Detergents play an essential role during the isolation of membrane protein complexes. Inappropriate use of detergents may affect the native fold of the membrane proteins, their binding to antibodies, or their interaction with partner proteins. Here we used cadherin11 (Cad11) as an example to examine the impact of detergents on membrane protein complex isolation. We found that mAb 1A5 could immunoprecipitate Cad11 when membranes were solubilized by dodecyl maltoside (DDM) but not by octylglucoside, suggesting that octylglucoside interferes with Cad11-mAb 1A5 interaction. Further, we compared the effects of Brij 35, Triton X-100, cholate, CHAPSO, zwittergen 3-12, deoxyBIG CHAP, and digitonin on Cad11 solubilization and immunoprecipitation. We found that all detergents, except Brij35, could solubilize Cad11 from the membrane. Upon immunoprecipitation, we found that β-catenin, a known cadherin-interacting protein, was present in Cad11 immune complex among the detergents tested except Brij 35. However, the association of p120 catenin with Cad11 varied depending on the detergents used. Using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to determine the relative levels of proteins in Cad11 immune complexes, we found that DDM and Triton X-100 were more efficient than cholate in solubilization and immunoprecipitation of Cad11 and resulted in the identification of both canonical and new candidate Cad11-interacting proteins.

Introduction Membrane proteins play a role in a vast array of cellular activities including signaling, ion transport, and adhesion (1). Proteins that interact with membrane proteins are critical in the regulation of cellular signaling and the function of membrane proteins. Isolation and identification of proteins associated with transmembrane proteins or membrane receptors using affinity-purification coupled with mass spectrometry has become an important approach for studying cell signaling (2). Unlike soluble proteins, identification of proteins that interact with membrane proteins requires the use of detergents to solubilize the complex from the membranes. Membrane proteins are susceptible to unfolding and aggregation when solubilized in detergents (3). This may result in alteration of their native structure and a disruption in protein-protein interactions and biological function(s) (4). In this study we employed cadherin-11 (Cad11), a cadherin family adhesion molecule, to investigate the effects of detergents on Cad11 protein complex composition. Cad11 is a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule mainly expressed in mesenchymal cells, including osteoblasts (5). Aberrant expression of Cad11 in prostate or breast cancer cells has been shown to increase their migration in vitro (6) and metastasis to bone in vivo (7-9). Cadherin family proteins, including E-cadherin and N-cadherin, are known to interact with canonical cadherin-interacting proteins, i.e., β-catenin, γ-catenin (junctional plakoglobin), and p120-catenin (δ-catenin). Similar to other members of cadherin family proteins, Cad11 contains a juxtamembrane domain and a catenin-binding domain that interacts with the canonical cadherin-binding proteins (10-12). However, Cad11 likely interacts with additional proteins to perform its unique cellular functions. Herein, we examined the effect of several commonly used detergents on Cad11 protein complex solubilization and co-immunoprecipitation. We solubilized Cad11 in various detergents and found that detergent selection impacted the ability of the antiCad11 antibody to pull down both Cad11 and the associated proteins in the Cad11 complex. Further, we used mass spectrometry to measure and compare the composition

of the Cad11 protein complex isolated using different detergents. We found that solubilization of Cad11 with select detergents not only preserved association with known interacting proteins but also led to the identification of a new set of candidate Cad11interacting proteins. This work highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate detergent to achieve optimal cellular solubilization and immunoprecipitation of the desired protein complexes. Moreover, our findings suggest that analyses of the composition of co-immunoprecipitated complexes across a panel of detergents can aid in the identification of new candidate interacting proteins.

into eppendorf tubes. The calculated amount of detergents were added into the tube and mixed with the cell lysates by inverting the tubes several times and then incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The lysate was centrifuged and the supernatants (solubilized lysate) were collected. To immunoprecipitate Cad11, mAb 1A5 (5 µg) was added to the solubilized lysate and the mixture was incubated for one hour at room temperature. The immune complex was isolated by the addition of 50 µl of Protein A/G agarose beads and incubated for either 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. The Protein A/G agarose beads were washed three times with PBS. Immune complexes were separated via electrophoresis on a 4-12% Bis-Tris NuPAGE gel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and proteins were detected via staining with Gelcode (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or the proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. For immunoblotting, primary antibodies were used at 1:1,000 dilutions and HRP goat anti-mouse secondary antibody was at a 1:5,000 dilution. The signal was detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Mass spectrometry of gel bands from SDS-PAGE Gel bands cut from SDS-PAGEs were washed once in water and three times in 50% acetonitrile with 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate for 15 min each. The gel bands were then dehydrated in 100% acetonitrile and proteins in the gel were digested in 10 µL trypsin (20 ng/µL) (Promega, Madison, WI) plus 10 µL Rapigest (20 µg/µL) (Waters, Milford, MA) and 30 µL 30 mM ammonium bicarbonate at 37°C for 16 hours. After incubation, the digestion solution was transferred into a new tube and gel pieces were extracted twice in 50 µL of 50% acetonitrile with 5% formic acid for 15 min. The combined digestion and extraction solutions were dried in a speed vacuum concentrator, resuspended in 50 µL of 1% formic acid plus 5 mM ammonium acetate, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described in Bilen et al. (15). Data processing of the MS results was conducted as described in Bilen et al. (15). Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) of Cad11 immune complex

6 PC3-mm2 cells (from 15 10-cm culture plates) were resuspended in 1.2 ml of 50
mM HEPES pH7.4 containing 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 1 tablet of Complete mini EDTA free protease inhibitor. The cell suspensions were divided into 4 equal portions and solubilized with four different detergents (Brij 35, DDM, sodium cholate, and Triton X-100) at a detergent to protein ratio of 5. After 30 min, the detergent solubilized lysates were collected by centrifugation. Immunoprecipitation with mAb 1A5 was performed as described above. The Protein A/G agarose beads were collected by low speed centrifugation and were washed three times (30 sec each) with water. The immune complexes on Protein A/G agarose beads were reconstituted with 40 mL of 50 mM triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer (TEAB). Protease Max Surfactant was added to a final concentration of 0.1% and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) was added to final concentration of 5 mM. The samples were then heated to 55°C for 20 min and allowed to cool down to room temperature. Methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) was added to the samples to a final concentration of 10 mM and the samples were incubated at room temperature for 20 min to block free sulfhydryl groups. The samples were digested with 2 mg of sequencing grade trypsin (Promega) overnight at 37°C. After digestion, the supernatants were removed from the beads and dried under vacuum. The peptides were reconstituted in 50 mL of 0.5 M TEAB/70% ethanol and labeled with 4-plex iTRAQ reagents for 1 hour at room temperature as described in Ross et al (16). Labeled samples were then acidified to pH 4 using formic acid, combined and concentrated in vacuum until ~10 mL remained. An Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a nano-ion spray source was coupled to an EASY-nLC 1200 system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The LC system was configured with a self-pack PicoFrit™ 75-µm analytical column with an 8-µm emitter (New Objective, Woburn, MA) packed to 25 cm with ReproSil-Pur C18-AQ, 1.9 µM material. Mobile phase A consisted of 2% acetonitrile; 0.1% formic acid and mobile phase B consisted of 90% acetonitrile; 0.1% formic acid. Peptides were then separated at a flow rate of 200 nL/min using the following steps: 2% B to 6% B over 1 min, 6% B to 30% B over 84 min, 30% B to 60% B over 9 min, 60% B to 90% B over 1 min, held at 90% B for 5 min, 90% B to 50% B over 1 min. The flow rate was then increased to 500 nL/min at 50% B and held for 9 min.

7 Eluted peptides were directly electrosprayed into the Fusion Lumos mass
spectrometer with the application of a distal 2.3 kV spray voltage and a capillary temperature of 300°C. Full-scan mass spectra (Res=60,000; 400-1600 m/z) were followed by MS/MS using the “Top N” method for selection. High-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) was used with the normalized collision energy set to 35 for fragmentation, the isolation width set to 1.2 and a duration of 10 seconds was set for the dynamic exclusion with an exclusion mass width of 10 ppm. We used monoisotopic precursor selection for charge states 2+ and greater, and all data were acquired in profile mode. Database Searching was performed as follows. Peaklist files were generated by Mascot Distiller (Matrix Science). Protein identification and quantification was carried out using Mascot 2.4 (17) against the UniProt human sequence database (92,919 sequences; 36,868,442 residues). Methylthiolation of cysteine and N-terminal and lysine iTRAQ modifications were set as fixed modifications, methionine oxidation and deamidation (NQ) as variable. Trypsin was used as the cleavage enzyme with one missed cleavage allowed. Mass tolerance was set at 30 ppm for intact peptide mass and 0.3 Da for fragment ions. Search results were rescored to give a final 1% FDR using a randomized version of the same Uniprot human database. Protein-level iTRAQ ratios were calculated as intensity weighted, using only peptides with expectation values < 0.05. As this was a protein immunoprecipitation experiment, no global ratio normalization was applied. Protein enrichment was calculated by dividing the true sample protein ratios by the corresponding control sample ratios.
Results Effect of EDTA on Cad11 protein conformation To examine the effect of several commonly used detergents on Cad11 protein complex isolation, we solubilized Cad11 from cultured cells in various detergents and evaluated the ability of an anti-Cad11 antibody to pull down both Cad11 and the associated proteins in the Cad11 complex using iTRAQ mass spectrometry.

experimental scheme for the isolation and characterization of Cad11 immune complex from various detergent-solubilized cell lysates is shown in Figure. 1A. PC3-mm2 is one of the few cell lines that are known to express Cad11 (7), which allowed us to use them in our Cad11 immunoprecipitation studies. mAb 1A5, which binds to an epitope in the extracellular domain of human Cad11 (14), was used for immunoprecipitation of Cad11. mAb 5B2H5, which binds to the cytoplasmic domain of human Cad11 (18), was used for immunoblotting of Cad11. Although it is common to digest cells from tissue culture plates by trypsin, we found that Cad11 is largely degraded during this process (Figure 1B). This is likely due to the presence of EDTA in the trypsin solution, as Cad11 is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule and is susceptible to proteolysis in the absence of calcium. In contrast, Cad11 in PC3-mm2 cells was not degraded when collected by scraping the cells from culture plates (Figure 1B). Thus, all following experiments were performed with PC3-mm2 cells collected by scraping the cells from tissue culture plates. EDTA is also commonly included in the immunoprecipitation buffers to inhibit metalloprotease activity. Initial immunoprecipitation studies using an immunoprecipitation buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA (pH 8.0), 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate, 0.2 mM PMSF, 1% Triton X100, 0.5% NP-40) as suggested by the manufacturer resulted in a Cad11 protein with a reduced size (data not shown). These observations suggest that Cad11 was partially degraded during the immunoprecipitation. Thus, EDTA was not included in the buffer in the subsequent immunoprecipitation studies. Effect of detergents on solubilization and Cad11 immunoprecipitation by mAb 1A5 We initially examined the effect of DDM (n-Dodecyl-β-D-Maltopyranoside) and octylglucoside on the solubilization and immunoprecipitation of Cad11. PC3-mm2 cells were solubilized with DDM or octylglucoside at a detergent to protein ratio of 5 or 10. Western blot of the detergent-solubilized lysates showed that these two detergents did not affect Cad11 detection by mAb 5B2H5 (Figure 2A). Upon immunoprecipitation with mAb 1A5 we found that mAb 1A5 immunoprecipitated Cad11 from DDM-solubilized lysates, but not from octylglucoside-solubilized lysates, at a detergent to protein ratio of

either 5 or 10 (Figure 2B). The detergents did not affect antibody binding to Protein A/G agarose beads as shown by Ponceau S stain (Figure 2B). These observations suggest that solubilization of Cad11 by octylglucoside causes a conformational change that interferes with mAb 1A5 binding to Cad11. We further examined the effects of 7 additional detergents on Cad11 solubilization and immunoprecipitation at a detergent to protein ratio of 5. The detergents used were Brij35, sodium cholate, Triton X-100, CHAPSO, Big CHAP, ZWITTERGEN 3-12, and digitonin. DDM was used as a positive control. Western blot of the detergent solubilized lysates showed that these detergents did not have significant effect on Cad11 detection by mAb 5B2H5, except for Brij 35. Immunoblotting with GAPDH antibody showed that GAPDH, a cytosolic protein, is present in very low levels in Brij35-solubilized fraction compared to other detergents (Figure 3A), suggesting that Brij35 may not be able to solubilize PC3-mm2 proteins efficiently or the detergent induces protein precipitation that results in protein loss during the centrifugation. We then examined the effects of the detergents on the solubilization and detection of several known Cad11-interacting proteins, including β-catenin, p120-catenin, and clathrin. As shown in Figure 3A, except with the use of Brij35, β-catenin was found in all of the detergent-solubilized lysates, although the levels of β-catenin varied among different detergents. Similarly, we detected p120-catenin in all of the detergentsolubilized lysates (Figure 3A). These results suggest that these detergents did not have a significant effect on β-catenin and p120-catenin detection on western blot. In contrast, we did not detect clathrin in any of the detergent-solubilized lysates, suggesting that the epitope for the clathrin antibody may be denatured or clathrin was degraded under the conditions used for solubilization. Effect of detergents on the immunoprecipitation of β-catenin and p120-catenin in Cad11 complexes β-catenin and p120-catenin are two proteins known to associate with cadherin family proteins. We examined the effect of detergents on the association of Cad11 with β-catenin in the immune complex. As shown in Figure 3B, β-catenin was found in Cad11 immune complex when solubilized in all the detergents examined, except in

Brij35. These results suggest that these detergents did not have significant effect on the association of Cad11 with β-catenin. We then examined the presence of p120-catenin in the Cad11 immune complex. As shown in Figure 3B, we detected low levels of p120catenin in immune complexes from Big CHAP- and digitonin-solubilized lysates, very little p120-catenin in immune complex from Triton X-100, and we did not detect p120catenin in immune complexes from DDM-, Brij35-, cholate, CHAPSO-, and Zwittergent 3-12-solubilized lysates (Figure 3B). These results suggest that preservation of the Cad11 and p120-catenin protein-protein interaction is sensitive to detergent selection. Novel Cad11-interacting proteins in DDM solubilized Cad11 immune complex Next, we used mass spectrometry to identify proteins present in the Cad11 immune complex isolated from the DDM-solubilized lysate. The duplicated samples were separated via electrophoresis and protein bands were detected by Coomassie Blue (Gelcode). Similar protein profiles were detected in both samples (Figure 4). In addition to Cad11 and immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, proteins with apparent molecular weights of 180, 80, 65, and 30 kDa were detected (Figure 4). The upper part of the gel (upper lanes) (Figure 4, marked with blue line), containing proteins with apparent molecular masses greater than the heavy chain of IgG (~ 50 kDa), and the lower part of the gel (lower lanes) (Figure 4, marked with red line), containing proteins with apparent molecular masses between heavy and light chain of IgG (23-50 kDa), were cut out and the proteins in the gels were identified by mass spectrometry. LC-MS/MS identified 92 and 100 proteins, using 1% FDR, in the two “upper lanes” (supplemental Table S1A, S1B). Seventy-one proteins were identified in duplicated samples. Among them, we eliminated those proteins commonly present in mass spectrometry analysis, e.g. keratin, heat shock proteins, RNA binding proteins, etc., and proteins with only a single peptide detected by mass spectrometry. This approach resulted in 12 proteins (Table 1A). By taking into account the molecular mass and the relative abundance, as reflected in the MS protein coverage by number of matched peptides and their emPAI values, we determined the protein in band 1 to be clathrin (16 and 9 peptides in duplicate samples), Band 2 to be Cad11 (35 and 35 peptides), Band 3 to be a mixture of β-catenin (33 and 33 peptides) and junction plakoglobin (also known as

γ-catenin) (23 and 24 peptides), both of which have an apparent molecular mass around 89 kDa. Based on these criteria, Band 4 is likely to be the T-complex protein (12 and 24 peptides detected covering all 8 isoforms), which have molecular masses around 57-60 kDa. Similarly, the analysis of mass spectrometry results from the “lower lanes” identified 111 and 138 proteins (supplemental Table S2A, S2B). 90 proteins were identified in duplicated samples. Eliminating those proteins commonly present in mass spectrometry analysis and proteins with only a single peptide detected by mass spectrometry resulted in 8 proteins (Table 1B). In addition to Cad11 and β-catenin, we found that Flotillins, including FLOT1 and FLOT2, have combined peptides of 40 and 13 in the duplicate samples (Table 1B). Because the apparent molecular mass of Flotillin is 47 kDa, these proteins are likely located close to the IgG heavy chain in the SDS-PAGE. It is likely that Band 6 is Prohibitins (PHB2 and PHB), which have combined peptides of 11 and 15 in the duplicate samples and apparent molecular masses of 30-33 kDa. Because voltage-dependent anion-selective channel proteins (VDAC2) have 6 peptides each in duplicate samples and an apparent molecular mass of 31 kDa (Table 1B), it is also likely that Band 6 is a mixture of Prohibitins and VDACs. Interestingly, we detected clathrin heavy chain and light chain in “upper lanes” and “lower lanes”, respectively, in the mass spectrometry analysis of Cad11 complex in the DDM solubilized cell extract (Table 1A, B and supplemental Table S1, 2), although clathrin heavy chain was not detected by IP/western blot analysis (Figure 3B). Quantification of Cad11 interacting proteins in detergent-solubilized Cad11 immune complex by iTRAQ We further used quantitative mass spectrometry, i.e., isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ), to compare the composition and relative abundance of proteins in differentially solubilized Cad11 immune complexes. PC3-mm2 cells were solubilized by DDM, sodium cholate, or Triton X-100 and were then immunoprecipitated by mAb 1A5. Solubilization and immunoprecipitation with Brij 35 was performed in parallel and was used as a negative control. iTRAQ analysis identified 415 proteins (1% FDR) in the immune complexes (supplemental Table S3).

12 We found that mAb 1A5 pulled down Cad11 and the known Cad11-interacting
proteins. For Cad11, 9 significant peptides were identified. The number of significant matches for β-, γ, and p120-catenin (catenin delta 1) are 7, 2, and 2, respectively, and 6 and 2 for clathrin heavy chain and light chain, respectively (Table 2A). Comparing the relative levels of Cad11 in the immune complexes to the control detergent Brij35, DDM and Triton X-100 gave highest ratios of 23.2 and 22.5, respectively, while sodium cholate gave a ratio of 13.3 (Figure 5A). We then analyzed the relative amount of known Cad11interacting proteins in the immune complex. In the DDM solubilized immune complex, β-catenin had the highest ratio followed by γ-catenin, clathrin light chain, clathrin heavy chain, and p120-catenin (Figure 5A), suggesting the relative levels of associated proteins in the immune complex is likely to be Cad11 > β-catenin> γ-catenin> clathrin light chain> clathrin heavy chain> p120-catenin. Similar patterns were observed in immune complexes from cholate or Triton X-100 solubilized lysates (Figure 5A). Interestingly, in the Triton X-100 solubilized lysate, the p120-catenin showed a higher iTRAQ ratio in the Triton X-100 immune complex compared to those in DDM or sodium cholate (Figure 5A). This is consistent with IP/western shown in Figure 3B, in which we detected a low level of p120-catenin in Triton X-100 immune complex but did not detect p120-catenin in DDM or cholate immune complex. Next, we looked for potential new Cad11-associated proteins in the detergentsolubilized Cad11 immune complex. Cad11 is a plasma membrane protein, so it likely interacts with proteins localized in plasma membranes or cytoplasm. We first selected proteins based on their localization by using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis program. This resulted in 33 plasma membrane proteins and 257 cytoplasm proteins. We then eliminated those proteins with less than 2 peptides detected in mass spectrometry, which resulted in 201 proteins. Among them, T-complex protein 1 subunit, Prohibitin, and VDAC2 proteins, which were identified in the SDS-PAGE gel slices by LC-MS/MS, were also detected in the iTRAQ analysis (Figure 5B). The relative levels of these proteins compared to the control detergent Brij35 were between 3-9 fold higher (Figure 5B and Table 2B). We then looked for other new candidate Cad11-interacting proteins. We consider the candidate proteins to be potential Cad11-interacting proteins if (1) the relative levels

of these proteins compared to that in the control detergent Brij35 were higher than 3, and (2) their ratio profiles in the different detergents are similar to that of Cad11, i.e., high in DDM and Triton X-100 and low in cholate. We found 70 proteins that fit these criteria (Table 3A, B). Among them, we found several proteins that are commonly present in mass spectrometry analysis (19), including 7 proteasome subunit proteins, 3 eukaryotic translation elongation factors, 3 peroxiredoxins, 14 enzymes in metabolic pathways, etc.. We thus separated these 70 proteins into two groups. One group of proteins are potential Cad11-interacting proteins (Table 3A) and another group of proteins are likely to be contaminants (Table 3B). The proteins were listed according to their ratio to Brij35. The potential Cad11-interacting proteins with the relative levels higher than 5 compared to the control detergent Brij35 were graphed in Figure 6. Further analysis is required to confirm that these newly-identified candidate proteins are Cad11-interacting proteins.
Discussion We used Cad11 as an example to show that detergents used to solubilize the transmembrane proteins may affect the proteins associated with the membrane proteins. By using mass spectrometry and iTRAQ, we compared the types and levels of proteins present in Cad11 immune complexes isolated from cells solubilized by different detergents. Our analyses showed that detergents have an effect on both the interactions of Cad11 with its antibody and with its associated proteins. These observations suggest that depending on the detergent used, different associated proteins may be identified. Thus, an evaluation of detergent effects on the various types of interactions during an immunoprecipitation study will be required when studying membrane protein complexes. Additionally, mass spectrometry and iTRAQ evaluation of co-immunoprecipitated complexes across a panel of detergents can assist in identifying new candidate proteins that interact with a membrane protein of interest. Our studies provide a framework for evaluation and selection of detergents for isolation and identification of immune complexes of membrane proteins.

14 Antibodies are frequently used in immunoprecipitation without knowledge of
their binding site on the specific proteins. Our studies demonstrated that the conformation of the antibody binding sites on the antigen may be altered by detergents used to solubilize the membrane proteins. This alteration may result in failure to immunoprecipitate the protein of interest in some detergent-solubilized lysates. Thus, testing several detergents for their compatibility with immunoprecipitation should be considered. To effectively use a highly sensitive modality like mass spectrometry to identify interacting proteins, it is important to distinguish specific from non-specific interacting proteins through further validation. Although reciprocal immunoprecipitation is commonly used in confirming the interactions between different proteins, this approach is limited by the availability of antibodies that are able to immunoprecipitate the candidate interacting proteins without interfering with protein-protein interactions. Another approach is to examine the ability of these proteins to interact with their respective deletion mutants. We have used such an approach to confirm the binding of angiomotin with Cad11 (11) and these mutants may be used to validate the new interacting proteins identified in this study. Another approach is to use proximity ligation assay (PLA) that detect protein-protein interactions through the proximity of antibodies that bind to these two proteins (20). This method can detect both transient or weak interactions. We have previously used PLA to demonstrate the interactions between Cad11 and clathrin (10). These methods can be used to confirm the interactions between Cad11 and the proteins identified in this study in the future. Different proteins may interact with a specific membrane protein under various cellular conditions to relay the signaling from the cell surface. In our previous studies, we identified angiomotin as a novel Cad11-interacting protein after depleting the common cadherin-interacting proteins, i.e. β-catenin, from the cytosol using the Ecadherin cytoplasmic domain in a GST-pulldown assay (11). Although functional assays demonstrated a role of angiomotin in regulating Cad11-mediated cell migration, the interaction of angiomotin with endogenous Cad11 was only detectable when the lysates were pre-depleted with the cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin (11). Given that β-catenin and angiomotin binding sites on Cad11 are adjacent to each other, this juxtaposition has

led us to hypothesize that β-catenin and angiomotin may dynamically interact with Cad11 during different cellular conditions. In the present studies, we did not find angiomotin in Cad11 immune complexes in the four detergents solubilized lysates by iTRAQ analysis. It is possible that depletion of canonical cadherin-interacting proteins may be required for the binding of angiomotin with Cad11, although we also cannot exclude the possibility that detergents may affect the binding of angiomotin with Cad11. Identification of protein partners at different cellular states will be of potential interest in future proteomics research development. In our previous study, we identified clathrin as one of the Cad11-interacting proteins using the Cad11 cytoplasmic domain, expressed and purified from E. coli, by a GST-pull down assay (10). Although we demonstrated that Cad11 interacts with clathrin in PC3-mm2 cells by proximity ligation assay (10), we could not show that endogenous clathrin could be immunopurified with Cad11 in an IP/western blot experiment. We reasoned that this result is due to the transient and low affinity interaction of clathrin with Cad11, as clathrin binds transiently with its substrates in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In the present study, we find that clathrin was not detected in detergent-solubilized lysates by western blot. However, clathrin heavy chain and light chain were identified in Cad11 immune complex by mass spectrometry, albeit with low signals. Thus, it is likely that detergent solubilization interferes with clathrin detection by western blot or that western blot is less sensitive. Different partner proteins may associate with a specific protein in different cell types. For example, Cad11 is a mesenchymal cadherin mainly expressed in osteoblasts and neuronal cells. We found that Cad11 was expressed in prostate and breast cancer cell lines (7, 8), likely due to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells. While we identified several Cad11-interacting proteins in PC3-mm2 cells, it is likely that Cad11 interacts with different proteins in osteoblasts or neuronal tissues. Because mAb 1A5 was against human Cad11 and was generated in a mouse, mAb 1A5 recognizes an epitope that is unique to human Cad11 sequence (14). While it will be interesting to compare Cad11-interacting proteins in osteoblasts versus tumor cells, the Cad11interacting proteins in mouse osteoblasts are unknown because we isolated the osteoblasts from mouse calvaria.

16 Isolation of immune complexes of membrane proteins has become an important
approach for studying cell signaling. Detergents are integral in the extraction and purification of membrane proteins. We have shown that detergent selection can impact protein solubilization and protein-protein interactions leading to alterations in the composition of protein complexes purified by immunoprecipitation. We have also demonstrated that coupled with mass spectrometry, the evaluation of protein complex immunoprecipitation in samples using different detergents can assist in the identification of new candidate interacting proteins. Understanding the effect of detergents on various aspects of immune complex isolation will improve the likelihood of identifying proteins associated with membrane proteins.

Figure 1. Effect of trypsin/EDTA digestion on Cad11 protein integrity. (A) Experimental scheme for the isolation of Cad11 immune complex from various detergent-solubilized cell lysates and the analysis of the proteins in the immune complex. (B) Western blot analysis of Cad11 in PC3-mm2 cells collected by trypsinization or by scraping off the plates. Various amount of the collected lysates were loaded onto SDS-PAGE. Cad11 was largely degraded in the samples collected by trypsin/EDTA digestion but remained intact in the samples collected by scraping off the plates. This experiment was repeated 3 times. Figure 2. Effect of detergents on Cad11 immunoprecipitation by mAb 1A5. PC3-mm2 cells were solubilized with DDM or octylglucoside using a detergent to protein (D/P) ratio of 5 or 10. (A) Western blot showed Cad11 was solubilized with DDM and octylglucoside using a D/P ratio of 5 or 10. Ponceau S stain was used as loading control. (B) mAb 1A5 immunoprecipitated Cad11 from DDM solubilized lysate but not from octylglucoside solubilized lysate. The detergents did not affect antibody binding to Protein A/G agarose beads as shown by Ponceau S stain. This experiment was repeated 4 times. Figure 3. Effect of detergents on Cad11 immune complexes. PC3-mm2 cells were solubilized with detergents as indicated using a detergent to protein ratio of 5. (A) Western blot of detergent-solubilized lysates for Cad11, β-catenin, p120-catenin, clathrin, and GAPDH. Cad11, β-catenin, p120-catenin were solubilized by all detergents tested except Brij35. Clathrin was only detected in the total cell lysates but not in detergentsolubilized lysates. GAPDH showed that all detergents, except Brij35, solubilized the cells to about the same degree. (B) Western blot of proteins immunoprecipitated by mAb 1A5. Cad11 and β-catenin were detected in immune complexes isolated from all detergent-solubilized lysates, except Brij35. However, p120-catenin was only detected in immune complexes of Big CHAP and digitonin, but not in DDM, cholate, CHAPSO or Zwittergen 3-12. These results suggest that these detergents may interfere with Cad11 and p120-catenin interaction.

Figure 4. Mass spectrometry analysis of proteins in Cad11 immune complex isolated from DDM-solubilized PC3-mm2 cells. The samples in duplicate were separated on SDS-PAGE (lanes 1 and 2) and protein bands were detected by Coomassie blue. Gel pieces with molecular weight >50 kDa (marked by blue line) and 50-25 kDa (marked by red line) were cut out and the proteins in the gels were identified by LC-MS/MS. The protein assignments for each band were based on mass spectrometry data. Arrows indicate the heavy and light chain of immunoglobulin. This experiment was repeated 2 times. Figure 5. iTRAQ analyses of proteins in Cad11 immune complexes from DDM, cholate, or Triton X-100 (TX100)-solubilized PC3-mm2 cells relative to the signal detected using the control detergent Brij35. (A) Relative levels of known Cad11-interacting proteins in the Cad11 immune complexes. (B) Relative levels of candidate Cad11-interacting proteins that were also identified by LC-MS/MS of SDS-PAGE gel slices. Figure 6. New candidate Cad11-interacting proteins identified by iTRAQ analyses of proteins in Cad11 immune complexes from DDM, cholate, or Triton X-100 (TX100)solubilized PC3-mm2 cells relative to the signal detected using the control detergent Brij35.
