AbstractThe Human Protein Atlas (HPA) is a scientific research project aiming to map the entire human proteome using anantibody-based approach. The Subcellular Atlas that is a part of the HPA provides spatial information about thesubcellular location of proteins. Currently, the Subcellular Atlas does not go beyond the annotation “vesicles” forproteins showing a dot-like staining. In this study a proteomic profiling of three vesicular-like organelles, peroxisomes,endosomes and lysosomes was conducted to expand the annotations in the HPA’s subcellular atlas and to identifynew members of the respective proteomes. The proteomic profiling was done by indirect immunofluorescenceand colocalization studies with organelle specific markers. By this method, the location of proteins that werepreviously described to target one of the studied organelles could be verified, while the subcellular location ofso far uncharacterized proteins could be identified. In total, 91 proteins were identified to localize to the threestudied vesicular organelles. This includes proteins whose subcellular location has previously been described suchas PEX14 (peroxisome), LAMTOR4 (lysosome) and Rabankyrin-5 (endosome), but also proteins like HEATR4(peroxisome) and PIK3R1 (lysosome) that were not associated with any organelle before. The observations in thisstudy serve as a validation that colocalization studies are useful when verifying a previously described subcellularlocation and identifying unknown locations of proteins. Moreover, the high-resolution immunofluorescent imagesallowed single-cell analyses showing proteins that are only expressed in a subpopulation of cells, proteins thatare only localized to a subpopulation of organelles or proteins that are only present in a subcompartment of theorganelle. Altogether, this study has verified known locations as well as identified the location of proteins, which willresult in more precise annotations for vesicles in the HPA’s Subcellular Atlas.

Introduction

THE Human Protein Atlas (HPA) is a project aimingto map the entire human proteome through antibody-based proteomics and transcriptomics. The first ver-

sion of the HPA was released in 2005 and as of April 2016,the database has been updated with its fifteenth release. [1] [2]The atlas is divided into four subparts: normal tissue, cancertissue, subcellular and cell line. Today, the database containsprotein data covering 86% of the predictive human genesand more than 11 million images with primary data from im-munofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry. [3] TheHPA’s Subcellular Atlas provides spatial information aboutthe subcellular location of proteins. Identifying the locationsof proteins is important for a better understanding of the in-teraction and cellular functions of proteins. Proteins rarelyact alone and if two proteins are located to the same location,it is more likely that they interact with each other or have aneffect on the function. [4] This information can in turn alsobe valuable to develop more effective treatments for differentdiseases by e.g. simplifying the target identification processfor drug discovery. Currently, the HPA does not go beyondthe annotation category “vesicles” for proteins with a dot-likestaining. However, there are different types of vesicles andvesicle-like organelles in the cell. Therefore a more detailedannotation that shows what type of organelle this protein islocated in is needed. The aim of this study is to expand theannotation category ”vesicles” in to a more specific one byusing resources from the HPA’s subcellular atlas. This wasachieved by conducting proteomic profiling of three vesicular-like organelles through antibody-based techniques.

VesiclesVesicles, a category comprised of many different organelles,are small structures enclosed by a membrane and are involvedin a variety of functions such as transportation, sorting, stor-ing and metabolism. The vesicular-like organelles that willbe studied in this project are peroxisomes, endosomes andlysosomes. Peroxisomes are multifunctional organelles thatharbour a variety of enzymes and are involved in several an-abolic and catabolic cellular pathways. The main functionof peroxisomes is β -oxidation of long- and very long-chainfatty acids. In addition, peroxisomes carry out importantreactions such as phospholipid biosynthesis, chemical detox-ification, oxidation of purines, polyamines and some aminoacids. Many of these reactions involve hydrogen peroxide,which is why they were named peroxisomes. [5] Endosomesare formed via endocytosis and their main function is to sortthe material that has been taken up by the cell. There are threemain types: early, late and recycling. Early endosomes matureinto late endosomes that fuse with lysosomes for degradationof material. Recycling endosomes are sub-compartments ofthe early endosome that recycle material to the plasma mem-brane. [6] [7] Lysosomes are organelles that contain severaldifferent enzymes and are responsible for the degradation ofmolecules internalized within the cell. [8] [9]

Proteomic Profiling of OrganellesIdentifying proteins that are located in a certain organellecan be approached in different ways. The general way is theisolation of the organelle of interest followed by the identi-fication of the residing proteins mass by mass spectrometry.The results are then analyzed by a protein database to deter-mine which proteins were found in the sample. [10] Anotherapproach is to use immunofluorescence or green fluorescentprotein (GFP). These approaches use fluorescence to visual-ize e.g. molecules and organelles. Locations of subcellularproteins can be determined by labeling proteins of interestwith fluorescent dyes, followed by image acquisition usingfluorescence microscopy. There are two main techniques thatare used for labeling proteins, namely gene tagging with a flu-orescent protein and immunolabeling with fluorophores (alsoknown as immunofluorescence). This study will focus onusing indirect immunofluorescence to detect proteins. Indirectimmunofluorescence uses a primary and secondary antibodyto target and detect the protein of interest. The primary anti-body targets the protein of interest and is indirectly coupledto a fluorophore by the use of a secondary antibody. The fluo-rophore enables the detection of the targeted protein throughvisualization. [11] Colocalization is the comparison of thespatial distribution of two fluorescently labeled molecules andcan be used to determine if two molecules are associated tothe same organelle. In this method, the protein of interest istargeted with a fluorophore and the organelle of interest withanother fluorophore. If the signal of the fluorophores overlap,the protein localizes to the organelle. [12]

AimThe main aim of this project is to expand the annotations forproteins with a vesicle-like pattern in the HPA by identifyingproteins located in peroxisomes, endosomes and lysosomes.Using indirect immunofluorescence, colocalization with or-ganelle specific markers and confocal microscopy, the proteinslocalized to these organelles can be determined. Another aimof this project is to validate HPA-antibodies by using themto identify the subcellular location of proteins with a knownlocation.

Materials and MethodsData AnalysisUsing the UniProtKB database, lists of proteins with the sub-cellular location peroxisome, endosome or lysosome, thatwere asserted experimentally were generated. The gener-ated lists contained proteins with known subcellular locations.These lists were ran against a compiled table of HPA-antibodyannotations. The compiled HPA-antibody table consisted ofantibodies annotated to be targeting proteins with a positivevesicular staining in U-2 OS cells. The HPA-antibody tableentries also had a FPKM value over 0.5, ensuring that thegene of interest was expressed in the cell line. The proteinsfrom the UniProtKB lists that were found in the compiledHPA-table were chosen as candidates to be tested. A model

for the identification of novel peroxisomal, lysosomal andendosomal proteins was built in KNIME (v. 3.1.2) [13] usingthe image segmentation data that is generated for all images inthe Subcellular Atlas. [14] Images of identified members wereused to train the model. The number of extracted featureswas reduced by removing features that showed only a lowvariance for vesicular staining. The features of the identifiedmembers were used to define the center of cluster by k-means.A list of vesicular proteins that were closest to the clustercenter was generated. The generated list was compared toentries in UniProtKB and the proteins that had no or a curatedsubcellular location were chosen as candidates for testing.

Cell CultivationU-2 OS cells, a cell line derived from osteosarcoma, grewin McCoy’s 5A medium (Sigma-Aldrich and Lonza) supple-mented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich)and 1% L-glutamine in a 37◦C and 5.2% CO2 environment.10 000 cells/well were seeded onto a 96-well glass bottomplate (Greiner) coated with 40 µl 12.5 µg/ml fibronectin andincubated for 24h before immunostaining, in the same envi-ronment and temperature.

ImmunostainingThe growth medium was removed from the 96-well glassbottom plate and the cells were washed with PBS. Thecells were then fixed by incubation with 40 µl ice cold 4%paraformaldehyde (PFA, VWR) diluted in PBS for 15 min-utes. After removal of PFA, the cells were permeabilized byincubating with 40 µl PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100(Sigma-Aldrich) for 3x5 minutes followed by a washing stepwith PBS. Primary rabbit HPA-antibodies were diluted to2-4 µg/ml in blocking buffer (PBS + 4% FBS) containing anorganelle specific marker. Organelle markers used: mono-clonal mouse anti-ABCD3 diluted 1:1000 (Atlas Antibodies)for the peroxisome, monoclonal mouse anti-VPS26A diluted1:800 (Atlas Antibodies) and a monoclonal mouse anti-EEA1diluted 1:250 (BD Biosciences) for the endosome and a poly-clonal sheep anti-LAMP-1 diluted 1:80 (R&D systems) forthe lysosome. Endosome and lysosome organelle markerswere used together. After incubation overnight in 4◦C the cellswere washed with 40 µl PBS 4x10 minutes. 40 µl blockingbuffer containing 1 µg/ml of the secondary antibodies goatanti-rabbit Alexa 488, goat anti-mouse Alexa 555 and donkeyanti-sheep Alexa 633 (Life Technologies) was added andincubated in room temperature for 90 minutes. Subsequently,the blocking buffer containing antibodies was removed andthe nuclei of the cells were stained with the addition of 50µl DAPI (Invitrogen) diluted 1:500 in PBS. After 10 minutesDAPI was removed and the cells were washed with 40 µlPBS 4x10 minutes. The plate was then mounted with 85%glycerol in 10xPBS and sealed with foil cover.

Image AcquisitionImages of the immunofluorescently stained U-2 OS cells wereacquired manually in sequential steps (one for each dye) tominimize spectral bleed-through. This was done in room tem-perature using Leica SP5 DM6000 CS confocal microscope,a 63X/1.4 numerical aperture oil immersion objective andthe software LAS AF (Leica Microsystems). The confocalsettings were as follows: 16 bit acquisition, 600 Hz, line aver-age 2, pixel size 80 nm. The detector gain was adjusted foreach sample to obtain an image with a high signal to noiseratio and the maximum allowed gain was set to 800 for theHPA-antibody channel.

Image AnalysisThe acquired images were visually inspected for a colocaliza-tion between the protein of interest and the organelle marker.The images were analyzed and merged by using ImageJ.

ResultsImmunostaining of ProteinsThe aim of this study was to identify proteins localized toperoxisomes, endosomes and lysosomes. This was done byusing organelle markers for these three organelles togetherwith HPA-antibodies targeting previously selected protein can-didates to immunostain U-2 OS cells. The manually acquiredimages of cells were visually inspected for colocalizationbetween proteins of interest and organelle markers. The HPA-antibody was labeled green, the nuclei was stained blue withDAPI and the organelle markers for peroxisomes, endosomesand lysosomes were labeled with different fluorophores. In thefigures shown in this result section all the organelle markersare shown in red to enable easier detection of colocalizationwith the green HPA-antibody.The candidates were divided into one out of four different cat-egories depending on the type of overlap the images showed(Fig.1). The categories were:

i Complete overlap: vesicles detected by the HPA-antibody (green channel) and organelle marker (redchannel) colocalize.

ii Partial overlap: not all vesicles detected by the organellemarker colocalize with the HPA-antibody staining

iii Fractional overlap: a fraction of the vesicle detected bythe organelle marker colocalizes with the HPA-antibodystaining. A fractional overlap was only seen when usingendosomal organelle markers.

iv No overlap: vesicles detected by the HPA-antibody andorganelle marker do not colocalize.

Members of the Peroxisomal ProteomeOut of 48 proteins with a known location that were tested,19 showed a complete overlap, 7 a partial overlap and 22

of them had no signal overlapping with the peroxisomal or-ganelle marker. One of the tested proteins SCP2 (non-specificlipid-transfer protein) showed a distinct staining in only somecells. (see Fig. 2 and Appendix 2.) 57 proteins with an un-known location were tested with the peroxisomal organellemarker. These proteines were predicted by a trained modelin KNIME for having a similar staining pattern with proteinsknown to localize to the peroxisome and lysosome. 5 out of57 candidates showed a complete overlap and 52 showed nooverlapping signal with the peroxisomal marker.

Members of the Endolysosomal Proteome

The endosomal and lysosomal candidates with a known loca-tion were tested together as the organelles have no clear-cutboundary between them. Both organelles had 55 proteinsselected as candidates to be tested each and 20 of these candi-dates were described to be located in both locations. There-fore 90 candidates in total were tested for colocalization withthe LAMP-1 antibody as a marker for lysosomes and theVPS26A antibody for endosomes. Out of these 90 candidates12 showed a complete overlap, 17 a partial overlap and 61

no overlap with the lysosomal organelle marker. For the en-dosomal marker VPS26A, 3 showed a complete overlap, 6 apartial overlap, 8 a fractional overlap and 73 no overlap. Thethree proteins showing a complete overlap are all associatedwith the retromer, a complex of proteins that is involved inrecycling transmembrane receptors from endosomes to thetrans-Golgi network, according to the UniProtKB database.The VPS26A organelle marker is therefore thought to be an an-tibody more suited for targeting the retromer complex ratherthan the entire endosome. The early endosomal organellemarker EEA1 was thereafter used. 60 candidates were testedin total with this marker, 55 candidates from the first experi-ment described above and 5 additional candidates (lysosomalcandidates that showed a colocalization with the former endo-somal marker VPS26A). Out of these 60 candidates 2 showed

a complete overlap, 1 a partial overlap, 10 a fractional overlapand 47 no overlapping signal with the endosomal marker.

57 proteins with an unknown location were tested with thelysosomal organelle marker. These proteins were predictedby a trained model in KNIME for having a similar stainingpattern with proteins known to localize to the peroxisome andlysosome. Out of the 57 candidates, 1 showed a completeoverlap and 4 a partial overlap with the lysosomal marker. 52showed no overlapping signal with the lysosomal organellemarker. For examples of acquired images see Fig. 3.

In total, 91 proteins (97 antibodies) out of 179 proteins(195 antibodies) were identified to localize to the three studiedvesicular organelles.

scribes the amount of proteins targeted as the same proteincould be targeted by several antibodies. If available, more thanone antibody per protein was used in order to validate HPA-antibody stainings. However, in Table 2 only the amount ofantibodies used is shown due to only one antibody being usedper protein. This is because identifying previously unknownmembers of the organelles’ proteomes does not validate the

HPA-antibodies. In Table 3 the amount of vesicular organellesseen in the cytoplasm are presented. The number for eachorganelle is an average count of vesicles when comparingthree cells from the same image. One acquired image waschosen for each organelle.

Candidate Proteins with an Unknown LocationAcquired images of proteins that colocalize with the used or-ganelle markers were used to train a model for the predictionof proteins that have similar features. The predicted proteincandidates were tested if they had a previously unknown lo-cation. Out of the 57 tested candidates, 10 colocalized eitherpartially or completely with the organelle markers for the per-oxisome and lysosome. The tested candidates that showed acomplete overlap with an organelle marker signal are shownin Table 4.

DiscussionImmunostaining of ProteinsThe aim of this study was to identify proteins localized to per-oxisomes, endosomes and lysosomes by immunostaining withspecific organelle markers. The immunostaining in this studyshowed four different colocalization patterns: a complete,partial, fractional and no overlap. A complete overlap withthe specific organelle marker signal shows that the targetedprotein is located in all organelles detected by the markerwhereas a partial overlap shows that the targeted protein isonly located in some organelles. A fractional overlap with theorganelle marker signal, which was only seen with the endo-somal organelle markers, shows that only a part of the labeledorganelle colocalizes with the HPA-antibody. This type ofoverlap could be due to optical or chromatographical aberra-tions. However, this was not deemed to be the case as thisoverlap pattern was only seen with the endosomal candidates.This fractional overlap is thought to be due to the domain thetargeted protein is localized to inside the endosome. If theorganelle marker and the targeted protein have a fractionaloverlap, they could be localized to different domains in theendosome. [15] [16]

Colocalization with Organelle MarkersOut of the 91 proteins seen to colocalize with the used or-ganelle markers, 40 candidate proteins showed a completeoverlap with the organelle marker signal. These includeknown members of the three studied organelles such as PEX14(peroxisome), LAMTOR4 (lysosome) and Rabankyrin-5 (en-dosome). This supports that the observed colocalization withthe chosen markers did show if the protein was a member ofone of the organelles or not. The 88 candidates that showed nocolocalization with the organelle markers could be due to theused antibody being unspecific and therefore targeting some-thing else. Another reason is that the previously determinedsubcellular location of a protein could have been detected in aspecific cell line or in a specific condition different from whatwas used in this study.

Candidate Proteins with an Unknown LocationOut of the 57 protein candidates with previously unknownlocations that were tested, 10 showed either a partial or a com-plete overlap with the used organelle markers. These resultsneed to be verified to be able to draw the conclusion that these

proteins belong to the organelle they were observed to localizeto. This is important since unspecific binding is a major issuewhen drawing conclusions from studies based on a singleantibody. Preferably, the location should be verified by anantibody-independent method. In this study certain antibodiestargeted the same protein and as the results showed that theoutcome was the same for both antibodies this could serve asanother type of validation. However, to raise the validity ofthe results, verifying antibody specificity would be necessary.Antibody specificity in IF can be validated by a reduction ofthe protein expression, which would correlate with a decreaseof the antibody signal in IF. Methods to reduce the proteinexpression are for example the use of CRISPR for a geneknockout, which completely removes the protein, or a knock-down through siRNAs. The 10 HPA-antibodies that showedan overlap have not been validated through siRNA knockdownor a gene knockout. However they have all been validatedthrough Western blot. E.g. the used HPA-antibody targetingHEAT repeat-containing protein 4 was seen to completelyoverlap with the signal from the peroxisome organelle marker.The Western blot results showed a single band correspondingto the predicted size in kDa for this antibody. This resultmakes it reasonable to concludes that the antibody used is spe-cific. Another example is the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinaseregulatory subunit alpha protein that was seen to overlap withthe lysosomal organelle marker. The antibody targeting thisprotein showed a band of predicted size in kDa (+/-20%) withadditional bands present in the Western blot. To ensure thatthis antibody is specific, a better Western blot result would beoptimal.

Proteomic Profiling of OrganellesThere are different approaches to study the proteomes of or-ganelles. The vast majority of proteomic studies are basedon mass spectrometry (MS) studies whereas this study usedimmunofluorescent labeling. Immunofluorescent labelingon a proteome- and genome-wide level is only done by theHPA. Both of these approaches have limitations when identi-fying what proteins are members of the organelles of interest.To study the peroxisome, endosome and lysosome, the MS-based approach would first need to isolate and purify theseorganelles from a sample and reduce the complexity. A disad-vantage with these steps is that the isolation can be challengingto succeed with and during the complexity reduction, impor-tant proteins can be lost and will therefore not be able tobe identified. [17] The immunofluorescent labeling approachdoes not need to isolate, purify or reduce the complexity ofthe sample and does therefore not lose any proteomic infor-mation. However, this approach can cause artifacts and doesrequire cell fixation as well as permeabilization, which canbe challenging when dealing with different cell lines. [11] Itis also limited to the antibodies that are available. The IF-approach, if colocalization is used, is not reliant on databasesto identify whether a protein is located in a certain organellebut it is reliant on antibody specificity. The accuracy of the

location visualized of native proteins in the microscope can beaffected by antibody specificity which can result in mislocal-ization. However, it has been shown that immunofluorescenttagging is a reliable technique. [18] Both of these approacheshas validation of protein identification as an obligatory stepbut this is not always provided in literature, making this ashared limitation between the approaches. Which one is betterthan the other depends on what questions you want to answeras both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages.For example the MS-based approach can identify many pro-teins at once for an isolated organelle whereas the IF-approachfocuses on the colocalization of one protein at a time (when vi-sualizing the results through microscopy). The MS-approachis good for quantification, whereas the IF-approach is better atdetecting finer sub-structures or overlaps such as the fractionaloverlap observed in this study. The MS-approach would bemore useful if proteomes were to be compared at differentconditions or time points since the IF-approach would needthe entire IF antibody repertoire, consequently taking moretime and resources. The IF-approach can however show if thetargeted protein is also located in another organelle, a separatecompartment, if it is cell cycle dependent or expressed in onlya subpopulation of the cells, which the MS-approach cannot.An example of this is the protein SCP2 (see Fig.2C) whichshowed an expression in only some cells where it also over-lapped with the peroxisome organelle marker. This proteinin particular has an isoform which is located in peroxisomeswhich could explain why its expression was only seen in somecells and not all. It could also be due to cell cycle dependencyor that some cells have a subpopulation of peroxisomes withdifferent content. [19]

ConclusionIn this study 91 proteins localized to the studied vesicular or-ganelles could be determined and the acquired images will bepublicly available on the Human Protein Atlas. Many of thetested proteins were also found to not colocalize with an or-ganelle marker. However, the obtained results do suggest thatcolocalization studies could be a good approach to validate theknown subcellular location of proteins with organelle markersor map the proteome of vesicular organelles. Mapping theseproteomes would further expand the annotations for proteinslocated in vesicular organelles in the Human Protein Atlas.This will enable users of the atlas to get a more specific subcel-lular location, giving them valuable information for medicaland biological research.

Future PerspectivesThe main aim of this study was to identify the location ofknown and unknown peroxisomal, endosomal and lysoso-mal proteins. In retrospect, many antibodies were not testeddue to time constraint. Therefore a future step for this studywould be to test more antibodies to detect more proteins thatare members of these vesicular organelles’ proteomes. Fur-

ther validation of the results through antibody validation andsuper-resolution microscopy to analyze the fractional overlappattern would also be encouraged as well as analyzing moreorganelles through colocalization in the long run.

AcknowledgmentsI would like to express my deepest gratitude to Emma Lund-berg who gave me the golden opportunity to work with thisproject, for the encouraging comments and support through-out this process.
