SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Imaging Chemical Reactions and Processes
DESCRIPTION:Imaging chemical reactions under synthetically relevant conditions can reveal mechanistic information that is inaccessible with traditional analytical techniques. Our laboratory develops fluorescence microscopy methods—including fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)—to understand chemical reactivity and physical processes in complex reaction media with spatial and temporal resolution. We examine aqueous–organic reactions\, oxidative addition to metal powders\, and catalytic polymerization. These systems present particular challenges to traditional characterization methods: aqueous–organic emulsions are heterogeneous and optically opaque\, organometallic surface intermediates in oxidative–addition reactions do not substantially build up\, and many growing polymers are insoluble or spatially heterogenous. In these systems\, FLIM reveals object sizes\, catalyst localization and environments\, the role of reagents\, and the physiochemical reasons underpinning catalytic turnover rates. For example\, droplet-to-droplet differences in emulsions under cross-coupling conditions suggest that individual droplets function as distinct reaction vessels.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Co-Fractionation ‘Multi-omics’ Mass Spectrometry for Lipid-Protein Interactome Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Lipids play essential roles in regulating various biological processes through functional interactions with integral or peripherally associated proteins and protein complexes. While mass spectrometry (MS)-based strategies have enabled global lipidome and proteome identification and quantitative profiling\, high-throughput strategies to investigate the lipid-protein ‘interactome’ at the systems level are currently lacking. Here\, I will first describe the development of advanced ‘shotgun’ lipidomics data acquisition workflows\, including the use of ion-mobility for selective enrichment of low abundance lipid classes\, and UV-photodissociation MS/MS to enable complete lipid structural characterisation [e.g.\, Anal. Chem. 2024\, 96\, 12296-12307.\; Anal. Bioanal. Chem. 2020\, 412\, 2339–2351.]\, and their application to characterise a novel cause of autosomal regressive multisystem mitochondrial disease resulting from deleterious variants in cardiolipin synthase 1 (CRLS1) [Human Mol. Genetics. 2022\, 31\, 3597-3612.]. Next\, using an integrated ‘multi-omics’ workflow for comprehensive lipidome and proteome profiling\, I will report that the knockout of non-mitochondrial genes in peroxisome\, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi organelles also results in mitochondrial dysfunction\, caused by unexpected alterations in ether-glycerophospholipid metabolic pathways [Nature. Cell Biol. 2024\, 26\, 57-71]. Finally\, to investigate the lipid–protein interaction relationships in these systems\, a novel Co-Fractionation Multi-Omics Mass Spectrometry (CF-MOMS) strategy will be described to characterise global alterations in the lipid-protein ‘interactome interactomes in WT and CRLS1KO cell lines\, and to highlight the functional involvement of cardiolipin-protein interactions in maintaining the assembly/stability and activity of mitochondrial membrane proteins.
