植物蛋白质组学研究若干重要进展

植物蛋白质组学近年来正从定性向精确定量蛋白质组学的方向发展。国际上近两年发表的约160篇研究论文报道了利用不断改进的双向电泳结合生物质谱技术、多维蛋白质鉴定技术,以及包括双向荧光差异凝胶电泳、幅N体内代谢标记、同位素标记的亲和标签、同位素标记相对和绝对定量等在内的第2代蛋白质组学技术,对植物组织（器官）与细胞器、植物发育过程和植物响应环境胁迫的蛋白质组特征,以及植物蛋白质翻译后修饰和蛋白质相互作用等方面的研究成果。该文对上述报道进行总结,综述了2007年以来植物蛋白质组学若干重要问题研究的新进展。     

稳定同位素化学标记结合质谱技术在定量蛋白质组学中的应用

传统的蛋白质组定量策略主要是通过双向凝胶电泳来进行相对定量。由于该方法不能对相对分子质量极高或极低、等电点极酸或极碱和含量低的蛋白质以及膜蛋白质等进行有效分离和检测,所以已不能适应目前蛋白质组研究深入发展的需要。近年来,定量蛋白质组学的发展主要是以同位素亲和标签试剂为代表的、以质谱检测为核心的稳定同位素化学标记方法。稳定同位素化学标记结合质谱技术,使定量蛋白质组的分析更趋简单、准确和快速,具有良好的发展前景。本文对稳定同位素化学标记结合质谱技术在定量蛋白质组学中的研究进展进行了评述。     

同位素标记相对和绝对定量技术研究进展

定量蛋白质组学是蛋白质研究的前沿学科。目前常用的定量蛋白质组学研究技术有荧光差异凝胶电泳（DIGE）、同位素亲和标记（ICAT）等。同位素标记相对和绝对定量（iTRAQ）技术是近年来最新开发的一种新的蛋白质组学定量研究技术。结合非凝胶串联质谱技术,该技术可对复杂样本、细胞器、细胞裂解液等样本进行相对和绝对定量研究,具有较好的定量效果、较高的重复性,并可对多达四种不同样本同时进行定量分析。本文对 iTRAQ 技术的原理、实验方法及应用进展进行了综述。     

基于质谱的定量蛋白质组学技术发展现状

蛋白质组定量分析技术是支撑蛋白质组学研究的关键技术之一,随着蛋白质组定量分析技术的发展,基于质谱的定量蛋白质组学已成为蛋白质组学研究的重要分支。蛋白质组学定量技术可分为非靶向定量和靶向定量两类,靶向定量技术有MRM和PRM模式,非靶向定量技术有非标记定量和体内外标记定量模式,目前使用最多的同位素标记试剂是i TRAQ和TMT。蛋白质组定量技术按数据采集模式还可分DDA和DIA两类。通过对国内外相关文献收集和分析,系统介绍了蛋白质组质谱定量技术的主要特点和发展现状,旨在为生命科学研究者更好地应用定量蛋白质组学技术提供帮助。     

定量蛋白质组学中的同位素标记技术

定量蛋白质组学的目的是对复杂的混合体系中所有的蛋白质进行鉴定,并对蛋白质的量及量的变化进行准确的测定,是当前系统生物科学研究的重要内容。近年来,由于质谱技术和生物信息学的进步,定量蛋白质组学在分析蛋白质组或亚蛋白质组方面已取得了令人瞩目的成就,但其最显著的成就应该归功于稳定同位素标记技术的应用。该技术使用针对某一类蛋白具有特异性的化学探针来标记目的蛋白质或肽段,同时化学探针要求含有用以精确定量的稳定同位素信号。在此基础上,实现了对表达的蛋白质差异和翻译后修饰的蛋白质差异进行精确定量分析。综述了在定量蛋白质组学中使用的各种同位素标记技术及其应用。     

同位素稀释法在绝对定量蛋白质组中的研究进展

绝对定量蛋白质组是指基于蛋白质组学方法对细胞、组织或体液中的蛋白质进行绝对量或浓度测定．目前,常用的绝对定量方法主要有基于同位素稀释法的蛋白质组学绝对定量方法和基于质谱数据统计分析的非标记方法．基于同位素稀释法的绝对定量方法是用已知量的同位素标记物对与其混合的样本蛋白质浓度进行测定．常见的同位素标记物包括：由AQUA法、QconCAT法产生的特异性水解肽段,由PSAQ法、Absolute SILAC法产生的标记蛋白和由PrESTs-SILAC法产生的蛋白抗原表位标签．由于同位素稀释法可以对蛋白质进行准确和精确定量,对于临床疾病的诊断和治疗具有明显的现实意义．本文对同位素稀释法在绝对定量蛋白质组中的研究进展及其优缺点和最新应用进行了评述．     

定量蛋白质组同位素标记技术及应用

定量蛋白质组学是对蛋白质组进行精确的定量和鉴定的学科,突破了传统蛋白质组研究集中于对蛋白质的分离和鉴定,着重于定性定量解析细胞蛋白质的动态变化信息,更真实地反映了细胞功能、过程机制等综合信息。以同位素为内标的质谱分析新技术的提出,显示出可同时自动鉴定和精确定量的能力,代表了目前定量蛋白质组研究的主要发展方向。对近年来定量蛋白质组学同位素标记技术和应用研究所取得的重要进展以及最新的发展动态进行了综述。     

基于电感耦合等离子体质谱的蛋白质定量技术研究进展

综述了ICP-MS法应用于蛋白质定量技术方面的研究进展.蛋白质定量研究已成为蛋白质组学研究领域的热点,它是解析生物体蛋白质功能的重要途径.基于同位素标记和生物质谱分析技术是蛋白质定量最常用的方法之一,近年来,随着质谱技术的发展,电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)技术成为元素测量的重要手段,这使其在蛋白质定量中具一定的应用前景.     

蛋白质组学研究技术及其联合应用

蛋白质组学是研究细胞、组织和器官内所有蛋白质的组成及其动态变化的科学,是在蛋白质水平上定量的、动态的、整体的研究生物体。目前蛋白质组学技术分为样品制备、分离和鉴定3个方面,其新技术主要有激光捕捉显微解剖法、离心超滤法、双向凝胶电泳、同位素亲和标签技术、色谱技术以及质谱技术等。然而,任何一种蛋白质组学研究技术都有其缺陷。因此多种技术的联合应用能使蛋白质组研究更精确和完整,是蛋白质组学的发展趋势。     

蛋白质组研究新前沿：定量蛋白质组学

在过去几年里,蛋白质组研究取得了令人鼓舞的进展,2DE-MS途径的自动化,多维色谱整合串联质谱的使用,弥补了一些用双向凝胶电泳分离蛋白质的技术缺陷;从稳定同位素标记到ICAT战略的提出,为准确定量在细胞或组织中发挥重要调节功能的低丰度蛋白质提供了一个较为理想的方法。同时,蛋白质芯片技术的不断发展,也极大的丰富了定量蛋白质组学的研究。就定量蛋白质组学及其相关技术研究进展作一简要综述。     

蛋白组学解析拟南芥响应细菌信号分子N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-homoserine-lactone（OHHL）的机制

细菌来源的群体感应信号分子能诱导与调控植物的抗病性与生长发育,本文用细菌群体感应信号分子N一3-oxo—hexanoyl-homoserine—lactone（OHHL）对拟南芥进行不同时间的处理,提取蛋白进行双向电泳分析,用蛋白组学的方法解析拟南芥响应细菌信号分子的机制。双向电泳与质谱分析共鉴定出47个点,这些蛋白中随处理时间的增加表达量上调的蛋白点数目增加,并且与植物抗氧化、物质代谢和细胞信号转导密切相关。因此通过蛋白组学分析结果可以更好的解释植物与细菌的相互作用机制,进一步利用其之间的联系来促进植物更好的生长发育。     

Somatic Embryogenesis and Plant Regeneration from Leaf Callus of Hordeum vulgare

Explants obtained from the basal portion of leaves of Hordeumvulgare (cv. Karan 92) gave rise to callus when cultured onMurashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid (2, 4-D). Initially, the callus was friable, shiny-whiteand watery but subsequently some compact, nodular callus appeared.The latter were cultured on MS medium containing 0.05 mg l^–12, 4-D and 0.1 mg l^–1 N6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin),when plantlets were generated. Histological studies showed thatplantlet regeneration occurred by the formation of somatic embryos.The regenerated plants had the normal diploid chromosome number(2n = 14).

Induction of DNA synthesis and callus formation from tuber tissue of Jerusalem artichoke by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

Cellus induction was observed from Jerusalem artichoke tubertissue on a synthetic medium containing 2,4-D at 10^–6,10^–5 (optimum conc.) and 10^–4 M. The first DNA synthesis(thymidine incorporation) was observed only at 2,4-D concentrationsof 10^–5 to 10^–4M. In 10^–5 M 2,4-D treatedtissue, DNA synthesis increased after a 20 hr lag and reacheda maximum at 36 hr, after which it decreased. Actinomycin Dand 8-aza-guanine; inhibitors of RNA synthesis, inhibited DNAsynthesis completely. 2,4-D caused the characteristic changesin RNA and protein syntheses. In comparison with the control,RNA and protein syntheses were first repressed then inducedbefore the peak of DNA synthesis. Treatment with cycloheximide(10^–4M) for one hour before inoculation inhibited proteinsynthesis completely for 12 hr; consequently DNA synthesis wasalso delayed. The results suggest that RNA and protein synthesesneeded for callus induction are regulated by 2,4-D in the firstDNA synthesis. (Received July 19, 1973; )     

The Translocation of 3,5-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in Relation to its Effect on Potato Common Scab

The translocation of 3,5-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (3,5-D)in the potato plant was studied to clarify the mode of actionagainst potato common scab. 3,5-D was translocated to the tuberfaster and metabolised less than 2,4-D. Translocation to tuberswas proportional to growth and a concentration of 10–25nmol 3,5-D g^–1 fr. wt was attained 8 d after a foliarapplication. Previous evidence indicates this concentrationwas insufficient to be directly toxic to the pathogen Streptomycesscabies and the results suggest that 3,5-D acts in the tuberby altering the host's response to infection.     

Plant proteome analysis: a 2006 update

This 2006 'Plant Proteomics Update' is a continuation of the two previously published in 'Proteomics' by 2004 (Canovas et al., Proteomics 2004, 4, 285-298) and 2006 (Rossignol et al., Proteomics 2006, 6, 5529-5548) and it aims to bring up-to-date the contribution of proteomics to plant biology on the basis of the original research papers published throughout 2006, with references to those appearing last year. According to the published papers and topics addressed, we can conclude that, as observed for the three previous years, there has been a quantitative, but not qualitative leap in plant proteomics. The full potential of proteomics is far from being exploited in plant biology research, especially if compared to other organisms, mainly yeast and humans, and a number of challenges, mainly technological, remain to be tackled. The original papers published last year numbered nearly 100 and deal with the proteome of at least 26 plant species, with a high percentage for Arabidopsis thaliana (28) and rice (11). Scientific objectives ranged from proteomic analysis of organs/tissues/cell suspensions (57) or subcellular fractions (29), to the study of plant development (12), the effect of hormones and signalling molecules (8) and response to symbionts (4) and stresses (27). A small number of contributions have covered PTMs (8) and protein interactions (4). 2-DE (specifically IEF-SDS-PAGE) coupled to MS still constitutes the almost unique platform utilized in plant proteome analysis. The application of gel-free protein separation methods and 'second generation' proteomic techniques such as multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT), and those for quantitative proteomics including DIGE, isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT), iTRAQ and stable isotope labelling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) still remains anecdotal. This review is divided into seven sections: Introduction, Methodology, Subcellular proteomes, Development, Responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, PTMs and Protein interactions. Section 8 summarizes the major pitfalls and challenges of plant proteomics.     

Wheat Callus Culture: the Initiation, Growth and Organogenesis of Callus Derived from Various Explant Sources

Callus was obtained from mature excised embryos of wheat, fromnodal and internodal stem segments and from rachis segmentsusing the medium of Murashige and Skoog(1962)(M medium), containing1-0mg l^–1 2,4-D, and from immature embryos using the mediumof Green and Phillips (1975) containing 2 mg l^–1 2,4-D.Callus yield from mature embryos depended upon the cultivarused. No callus could be obtained from leaf segments. Callusderived from mature embryos and nodal stem segments was successfullymaintained by serial sub-culture on the M medium containing2,4-D for up to 3 years although its growth rate declined toa lower level as culture proceeded. Such cultures consistently produced roots when transferred toa medium containing a low level of 2,4-D or no 2,4-D. The presenceof the auxin was essential for continued proliferation of thecallus tissue. Shoot initiation was infrequent, did not occurafter the first few sub-cultures and could not be enhanced byvarious auxin and cytokinin additions to the medium. Callusderived from immature embryos did not have an enhanced potentialfor shoot initiation. Triticum aestivum, wheat, callus culture, organogenesis     

Regeneration of Lasiurus scindicus from Tissue Culture

Embryogenic callus cultures were initiated from mature embryosof Lasiurus scindicus on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplementedwith 6 mg l^–1 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).These cultures were maintained on 2 mg l^–1 2,4-D. Plantletswere regenerated via somatic embryogenesis when the calli weretransferred onto hormone-free MS basal medium. Young plantswere successfully transplanted to pots and grown to maturityin a greenhouse. Grass, Lasiurus scindicus, Thar Desert, drought tolerant, somatic embryogenesis, plant regeneration     

Ethylene and Ethane Production in 2,4-D Treated and Salt Treated Tobacco Tissue Cultures

Gas chromatography was used to measure ethylene (ethene) andethane production by tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsinno. 38) callus tissues grown on media containing inorganic saltsaccording to Murashige and Skoog (1962), sucrose, myo-inositol,thiamine-HCl kinetic according to Linsmaier and Skoog (1965),and either 2,4-dichiorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in the range0–100 mgl^–1 or 2 mgl^–1 indoi-3-ylacetic acidplus NaCl in the range 0–200 Meq l^–1. Ethylene productionrates were high (> 500 nl h^–1 g^1– fresh weight)initially in all treatments. Subsequently, ethylene productiondeclined in rapidly growing cultures but remained high in moderatelyand severely 2,4-D (> 0·5 mgl^–1) stressed andin severely NaCl (150 Meql^–1) stressed cultures. Highinitial rates of ethane production (> 200 nl h^–1 g^–1fresh weight) were obtained under conditions of severe stresscaused by 2,4-D or NaCl but not in control or moderately inhibitedcultures. With further incubation ethane production declinedin the severely stressed cultures. It is concluded that ethyleneproduction can be used as an index of moderate 2,4-D stressand severe NaCl stress by virtue of the high persisting ratesof ethylene production in stressed cultures. Ethane productioncan be used as an early index of severe stress caused by either2,4-D or NaCl in vitro.

Somatic Embryogenesis and Plant Regeneration from Inflorescence Culture of Java Citronella: (Cymbopogon winterianus)

Embryogenic callus was induced from immature inflorescence segmentsof Java citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) and maintained for2 years on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 2,4-D(l mg l^–1). The callus cells retained the original chromosomenumber of 2n = 20. The somatic embryos germinated into plantletson MS basal medium or medium with IAA, NAA, BAP or KN individually(l mg l^–1). The regenerated plantlets developed a goodroot system on full strength solid MS inorganics medium withIAA (1 mg l^–1). The regenerated plants were similar tothe donor plant in morphology and had the same chromosome number,but showed some variation in the essential oil content.
