Abstract
Lysosomes are a major degradative organelle within eukaryotic cells. Previous work has developed a method wherein the TMEM192 protein is tagged on its C-terminus with an epitope tag in order to immunopurify (IP) lysosomes from cell extracts.1 This process is referred to as Lyso-IP. Such lysosomes can be used for proteomic analysis or for metabolomic analysis. The Lyso-IP is adapted from a previous reported method (Wyant et al., 2018). Here we also describe processing steps using proteomics after lysosome purification in the context of HeLa cells lacking the GRN gene. Such cells can be produced using the following protocol: DOI: dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.4r3l2oxqqv1y/v1.

  • Carbamidomethyl (C), TMT (N-term peptide and K) set as a fixed modification
  • Oxidation (M) set as variable modifications
Extract signal to noise intensity values of each TMT reporter and identified proteins, and further calculate the ratio of each condition to the control sample’s intensity.
Note
This process will depend on the type of analysis software employed with the specific MS platform being used.

Select the precursors for MS2 analysis using a Top10 method.
Note
MS2 analysis consisted of collision-induced dissociation (quadrupole ion trap analysis; Turbo scan rate; AGC 2.0Å~104; isolation window 0.7 Th; normalized collision energy (NCE) 35; maximum injection time 90 ms).

Use the monoisotopic peak assignment and exclude the previously interrogated precursors using a dynamic window (150 s ± 7898 ppm) and perform the dependent scans on a single charge state per precursor.
Following acquisition of each MS2 spectrum, collect a synchronous-precursor-selection (SPS) MS3 scan on the top 10 most intense ions in the MS2 spectrum.
Fragment the MS3 precursors by high energy collision-induced dissociation (HCD) and analyze using the Orbitrap (NCE 65; AGC 3Å~105; maximum injection time 150 ms, resolution was 50,000 at 200 Th).
