SUMMARY To provide a detailed analysis of the molecular components and underlying mechanisms associated with ovarian cancer, we performed a comprehensive mass spectrometry-based proteomic characterization of 174 ovarian tumors previously analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), of which 169 were high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC). Integrating our proteomic measurements with the genomic data yielded a number of insights into disease such as how different copy number alternations influence the proteome, the proteins associated with chromosomal instability, the sets of signaling pathways that diverse genome rearrangements converge on, as well as the ones most associated with short overall survival. Specific protein acetylations associated with homologous recombination deficiency suggest a potential means for stratifying patients for therapy. In addition to providing a valuable resource, these findings provide a view of how the somatic genome drives the cancer proteome and associations between protein and post-translational modification levels and clinical outcomes in HGSC.

Highlights d Systematic identification of colon cancer-associated proteins and phosphosites d Proteomics-supported neoantigens and cancer/testis antigens in 78% of the tumors d Rb phosphorylation is an oncogenic driver and a putative target in colon cancer d Glycolysis inhibition may render MSI tumors more sensitive to checkpoint blockade

Highlights d Comprehensive LUAD proteogenomics exposes multi-omic clusters and immune subtypes d Phosphoproteomics identifies candidate ALK-fusion diagnostic markers and targets d Candidate drug targets: PTPN11 (EGFR), SOS1 (KRAS), neutrophil degranulation (STK11) d Phospho and acetyl modifications denote tumor-specific markers and druggable proteins

Highlights d Integrated proteogenomic characterization in 103 ccRCC cases d Delineation of chromosomal translocation events leading to chromosome 3p loss d Tumor-specific proteomic/phosphoproteomic alterations unrevealed by mRNA analysis d Immune-based subtypes of ccRCC defined by mRNA, proteome, and phosphoproteome

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus family, is a large complex enveloped virus composed of both viral and cellular gene products. While the sequence of the HCMV genome has been known for over a decade, the full set of viral and cellular proteins that compose the HCMV virion are unknown. To approach this problem we have utilized gel-free two-dimensional capillary liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS to identify and determine the relative abundances of viral and cellular proteins in purified HCMV AD169 virions and dense bodies. Analysis of the proteins from purified HCMV virion preparations has indicated that the particle contains significantly more viral proteins than previously known. In this study, we identified 71 HCMV-encoded proteins that included 12 proteins encoded by known viral open reading frames (ORFs) previously not associated with virions and 12 proteins from novel viral ORFs. Analysis of the relative abundance of HCMV proteins indicated that the predominant virion protein was the pp65 tegument protein and that gM rather than gB was the most abundant glycoprotein. We have also identified over 70 host cellular proteins in HCMV virions, which include cellular structural proteins, enzymes, and chaperones. In addition, analysis of HCMV dense bodies indicated that these viral particles are composed of 29 viral proteins with a reduced quantity of cellular proteins in comparison to HCMV virions. This study provides the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of the viral and cellular proteins that compose infectious particles of a large complex virus.
