Abstract
Metals are essential components in life processes and participate in many important biological processes. Dysregulation of metal homeostasis is correlated with many diseases. Metals are also frequently incorporated into diagnosis and therapeutics. Understanding of metal homeostasis under (patho)physiological conditions and the molecular mechanisms of action of metallodrugs in biological systems has positive impacts on human health. As an emerging interdisciplinary area of research, metalloproteomics involves investigating metal-protein interactions in biological systems at a proteome-wide scale, has received growing attention, and has been implemented into metal-related research. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in metalloproteomics methodologies and applications. We also highlight emerging single-cell metalloproteomics, including time-resolved inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, mass cytometry, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Finally, we discuss future perspectives in metalloproteomics, aiming to attract more original research to develop more advanced methodologies, which could be utilized rapidly by biochemists or biologists to expand our knowledge of how metal functions in biology and medicine.
