Background:
An important goal of modern medicine is the development of products deriving from natural sources to improve environmental sustainability. In this study, humic substances (HS) and compost teas (CTs) extracted from artichoke (ART) and coffee grounds (COF) as recycled biomasses were employed on Ocimum basilicum plants to optimize the yie...
The totality of environmental exposures and lifestyle factors, commonly referred to as the exposome, is poorly understood. Measuring the myriad of chemicals that humans are exposed to is immensely challenging, and identifying disrupted metabolic pathways is even more complex. Here, we present a novel technological approach for the comprehensive, ra...
Gangliosides are an indispensable glycolipid class concentrated on cell surfaces with a critical role in stem cell differentiation. Nonetheless, owing to the lack of suitable methods for scalable analysis covering the full scope of ganglioside molecular diversity, their mechanistic properties in signaling and differentiation remain undiscovered to...

Cellular energy metabolism is reprogrammed in cancer to fuel proliferation. In oncological therapy, treatment resistance remains an obstacle and is frequently linked to metabolic perturbations. Identifying metabolic changes as vulnerabilities opens up novel approaches for the prevention or targeting of acquired therapy resistance. Insights into met...
Standardization is essential in lipidomics and part of a huge community effort. However, with the still ongoing lack of reference materials, benchmarking quantification is hampered. Here, we propose traceable lipid class quantification as an important layer for the validation of quantitative lipidomics workflows. ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR...
Chemotherapy with platinum complexes is essential for clinical anticancer therapy. However, due to side effects and drug resistance, further drug improvement is urgently needed. Herein, we report on triple-action platinum(IV) prodrugs, which, in addition to tumor targeting via maleimide-mediated albumin binding, release the immunomodulatory ligand...
A fully automated novel workflow for lipidomics based on flow injection, followed by reversed phase liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry in combination with LILY as internal standard, enabling accurate quantification via RP-LC.
Non-targeted analysis by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) is an essential discovery tool in metabolomics. To date, standardization and validation remain a challenge. Community-wide accepted cost-effective benchmark materials are lacking. In this work, we propose yeast (Pichia pastoris) extracts derived from fully controlled fermentations fo...
We propose a fully automated novel workflow for lipidomics based on flow injection-followed by liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (FI/LC-HRMS). The workflow combined in-depth characterization of the lipidome achieved via reversed phase LC-HRMS with absolute quantification as obtained by a high number of lipid species-specific-...
Non-targeted analysis by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) is the essential discovery tool in metabolomics. Up to date, standardization and validation remain a challenge. Community wide accepted, cost-effective benchmark materials are lacking. In this work, we propose yeast ( Pichia pastoris ) extracts, derived from fully controlled fermenta...
Glycosyl inositol phospho ceramides (GIPCs) are the major sphingolipids on earth, as they account for a considerable fraction of the total lipids in plants and fungi, which in turn represent a large portion of the biomass on earth. Despite their obvious importance, GIPC analysis remains challenging due to the lack of commercial standards and automa...
In this work, a lipidomics workflow based on offline semi-preparative lipid class-specific fractionation by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) followed by high-resolution mass spectrometry was introduced. The powerful SFC approach offered separation of a wide polarity range for lipids, enabled enrichment (up to 3 orders of magnitude) of lipid...
Biomass composition is an important input for genome-scale metabolic models and has a big impact on their predictive capabilities. However, researchers often rely on generic data for biomass composition, e.g. collected from similar organisms. This leads to inaccurate predictions, because biomass composition varies between different cell lines, cond...
Lipids are key players in nutrition and health. As fat is a major constituent of food sources, lipid monitoring is essential. In order to address lipid related food safety, food authenticity and disease questions, comprehensive analytical methods are inevitable. In this work, we will present three different LC-MS based workflows for the identificat...
Tumor spheroids are important model systems due to the capability of capturing in vivo tumor complexity. In this work, the experimental design of metabolomics workflows using three-dimensional multicellular tumor spheroid (3D MTS) models is addressed. Non-scaffold based cultures of the HCT116 colon carcinoma cell line delivered highly reproducible...
The molecular study of fat cell development in the human body is essential for our understanding of obesity and related diseases. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are the ideal source to study fat formation as they are the progenitors of adipocytes. In this work, we used human MSCs, received from surgery waste, and differentiated them into fat...

C metabolite tracer and metabolic flux analyses require upfront experimental planning and validation tools. Here, we present a validation scheme including a comparison of different LC methods that allow for customization of analytical strategies for tracer studies with regard to the targeted metabolites. As the measurement of significant changes in...
A novel integrated metabolomics/lipidomics workflow is introduced enabling high coverage of polar metabolites and non-polar lipids within one analytical run. Dual HILIC and RP chromatography were combined to high-resolution mass spectrometry. As a major advantage, only one data file per sample was obtained by fully automated simultaneous analysis o...
In the version of this article initially published online, the authors used incorrectly defined restraints for specifying the distance between residues when using the HADDOCK portal. Following the publication of a Correspondence by the developers of the HADDOCK portal (Nat. Protoc. https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41596-018-0017-6, 2018) and a Reply by...
Chromosome segregation depends on sister chromatid cohesion which is established by cohesin during DNA replication. Cohesive cohesin complexes become acetylated to prevent their precocious release by WAPL before cells have reached mitosis. To obtain insight into how DNA replication, cohesion establishment and cohesin acetylation are coordinated, we...
Lipid identification and quantification are essential objectives in comprehensive lipidomics studies challenged by the high number of lipids, their chemical diversity and their dynamic range. In this work, we developed a tailored method for profiling and quantification combining (1) isotope dilution, (2) enhanced isomer separation by C30 fused-core...
This protocol describes a workflow for creating structural models of proteins or protein complexes using distance restraints derived from cross-linking mass spectrometry experiments. The distance restraints are used (i) to adjust preliminary models that are calculated on the basis of a homologous template and primary sequence, and (ii) to select th...

The HOP2/MND1 heterodimer is essential for meiotic homologous recombination in plants and other eukaryotes, and promotes the repair of DNA double strand breaks. We investigated the conformational flexibility of HOP2/MND1, important for understanding mechanistic details of the heterodimer, by chemical crosslinking in combination with mass spectromet...
We have applied a micro droplet generator (μDG) for sample introduction of single selenized yeast cells into a sector field ICP-MS, which was operated in a fast scanning mode with sampling rates of up to 10 kHz, to measure single cells time resolved with 100 μs integration time. Selenized yeast cells have been used as a model system for preliminary...

Quantification is an essential task in comprehensive lipidomics studies challenged by the high number of lipids, their chemical diversity and their dynamic range of the lipidome. In this work, we introduce lipidome isotope labeling of yeast (LILY) in order to produce (non-radioactive) isotopically labeled eukaryotic lipid standards in yeast for normalization and quantification in mass spectrometric assays. More specifically, LILY is a fast and efficient in vivo labeling strategy in Pichia pastoris for the production of 13C labeled lipid library further paving the way to comprehensive compound-specific internal standardization in quantitative mass spectrometry based assays.
