Acute brain slices are a sample format for electrophysiology, disease modeling, and organotypic cultures. Proteome analyses based on mass spectrometric measurements are seldom used on acute slices, although they offer high-content protein analyses and explorative approaches. In neuroscience, membrane proteins are of special interest for proteome-based analysis as they are necessary for metabolic, electrical, and signaling functions, including myelin maintenance and regeneration. A previously published protocol for the enrichment of plasma membrane proteins based on aqueous two-phase polymer systems followed by mass spectrometric protein identification was adjusted to the small sample size of single acute murine slices from newborn animals and the reproducibility of the results was analyzed. For this, plasma membrane proteins of 12 acute slice samples from six animals were enriched and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 1161 proteins were identified, of which 369 were assigned to membranes. Protein abundances showed high reproducibility between samples. The plasma membrane protein separation protocol can be applied to single acute slices despite the low sample size and offers a high yield of identifiable proteins. This is not only the prerequisite for proteome analysis of organotypic slice cultures but also allows for the analysis of small-sized isolated brain regions at the proteome level.

A combination of Western blotting, Northern blotting and immunofluorescence was used to examine the expression and compartmentalization of plasma membrane proteins by those hepatocyte-like cells that arise in the pancreases of rats subjected to sequential dietary copper depletion and repletion. The pancreatic hepatocytes were found to: (1) express several integral membrane proteins known to be concentrated within the apical, lateral or basolateral domains of the plasma membranes of hepatocytes in liver; and (2) compartmentalize the membrane proteins to equivalent plasma membrane domains, despite the organization of these cells into clusters instead of highly vascularized plates. The apical plasma membrane proteins dipeptidylpeptidase IV and HA 4 were found to line bile canaliculus-like openings between adjacent pancreatic hepatocytes; these openings were shown to be continuous with the pancreatic exocrine duct by India ink infusion. In contrast, the basolateral plasma membrane protein rat hepatic lectin-1 and lateral plasma membrane protein HA 321 were detected elsewhere about the surfaces of the pancreatic hepatocytes: by analogy to their respective localizations on hepatocytes in liver, rat hepatic lectin-1 was concentrated on those surfaces exposed to the pancreatic matrix at the periphery of the hepatocyte clusters (the basal surface equivalent), whereas HA 321 was concentrated on those surfaces exposed to adjacent hepatocytes within the clusters. The hepatocyte plasma membrane proteins were found to be expressed in the pancreas at different times during the copper depletion/repletion protocol: for example, rat hepatic lectin-1 and the bulk of the HA 4 were expressed relatively late in the protocol, only after large numbers of pancreatic hepatocytes had appeared; whereas dipeptidylpeptidase IV was induced greater than 10-fold early in the protocol and proved to be an apical-specific marker for those ductular epithelial cells that are believed to be the progenitors of the pancreatic hepatocytes.

Plasma membrane integrity maintenance is crucial for cell survival. Plasma membrane proteins are under tight regulation and under certain conditions are actively removed from the membrane allowing cells to adapt to changing environment. Proteins blocked in the cell membrane may interact with other molecules and form toxic aggregates. Ubiquitin is one of the most important modifiers targeting proteins for degradation and/or regulating protein functions. Several quality control mechanisms have been identified in eukaryotic cells: chaperone- dependent system that recognizes and ubiquitinates misfolded or redundant membrane proteins; protein-intrinsic LID-degron system, based on recognition of degron and ARTs-Rsp5 network that controls quality of membrane transporters. Rsp5, a Nedd4-family E3 ubiquitin ligase, is crucial for plasma membrane proteins ubiquitination. Rsp5-dependent ubiquitin action acts as a sorting signal for internalization of a membrane protein via endocytosis, recognition by the ESCRT system and vacuolar degradation. Rsp5 builds poliUb-chains on K63 and recognizes substrates through various adaptor proteins. Most of the identified Rsp5 adaptors belongs to the α-arrestin family. Plasma membrane protein ubiquitination and degradation disorders may cause neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the best models for studying trafficking pathways of membrane proteins and ubiquitination systems.

The vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) plays a major role in organelle acidification and works together with other ion transporters to maintain pH homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. We analyzed a requirement for V-ATPase activity in protein trafficking in the yeast secretory pathway. Deficiency of V-ATPase activity caused by subunit deletion or glucose deprivation results in missorting of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins Pma1 and Can1 directly from the Golgi to the vacuole. Vacuolar mislocalization of Pma1 is dependent on Gga adaptors although no Pma1 ubiquitination was detected. Proper cell surface targeting of Pma1 was rescued in V-ATPase-deficient cells by increasing the pH of the medium, suggesting that missorting is the result of aberrant cytosolic pH. In addition to mislocalization of the plasma membrane proteins, Golgi membrane proteins Kex2 and Vrg4 are also missorted to the vacuole upon loss of V-ATPase activity. Because the missorted cargos have distinct trafficking routes, we suggest a pH dependence for multiple cargo sorting events at the Golgi.
