Abstract

Cell surface proteins are major targets of biomedical research due to their utility as cellular markers and their extracellular accessibility for pharmacological intervention. However, information about the cell surface protein repertoire (the surfaceome) of individual cells is only sparsely available. Here, we applied the Cell Surface Capture (CSC) technology to 41 human and 31 mouse cell types to generate a mass-spectrometry derived Cell Surface Protein Atlas (CSPA) providing cellular surfaceome snapshots at high resolution. The CSPA is presented in form of an easy-to-navigate interactive database, a downloadable data matrix and with tools for targeted surfaceome rediscovery (https://wlab.ethz.ch/cspa). The cellular surfaceome snapshots of different cell types, including cancer cells, resulted in a combined dataset of 1492 human and 1296 mouse cell surface glycoproteins, providing experimental evidence for their cell surface expression on different celltypes, including 136 G-protein coupled receptors and 75 membrane receptor tyrosine-protein kinases. Integrated analysis of the CSPA reveals that the concerted biological function of individual cell types is mainly guided by quantitative rather than qualitative surfaceome differences. The CSPA will be useful for the evaluation of drug targets, for the improved classification of cell types and for a better understanding of the surfaceome and its concerted biological functions in complex signaling microenvironments.

CSPA validated surfaceome proteins

Excel file containing all human and mouse surfaceome proteins in two tables and an additional table with all identified N-glycopeptides:

  1. List of 1492 human surfaceome proteins and their annotation.
  2. List of 1296 mouse surfaceome proteins and their annotation.

Corrected topologies

PDF files with original and based on N-glycopeptide identification corrected topology pictures of 51 human proteins and 39 mouse proteins. The pictures were created with PROTTER and identified N-glycopeptides were marked yellow.

CSPA based spectral libraries for human proteins

ZIP file, containing a README.txt file and two subfolders with the respective spectral libraries:

  1. The .pepidx, .spidx and .splib file of the human spectral library for proteins within the CSPA. The sequence motiv N-X-S/T has been modified to D-X-S/T, which corresponds to a deamidated asparagine (N). Methionines are variable modified by oxidation and a decoy spectral library is appended.
  2. The .pepidx, .spidx and .splib file of the human spectral library for proteins within the CSPA. Asparagines and methionines can be searched with variable modifications of deamiation and oxidation, respectively and a decoy spectral library is appended.

CSPA based spectral libraries for mouse proteins

ZIP file, containing a README.txt file and two subfolders with the respective spectral libraries:

  1. The .pepidx, .spidx and .splib file of the mouse spectral library for proteins within the CSPA. The sequence motiv N-X-S/T has been modified to D-X-S/T, which corresponds to a deamidated asparagine (N). Methionines are variable modified by oxidation and a decoy spectral library is appended.
