溶藻细菌BS01产二异丁氧基苯基对塔玛亚历山大藻生长的影响

摘要:【目的】利用一株溶藻细菌BS01分泌的杀藻化合物(二异丁氧基苯基)胺作用于赤潮藻———塔玛亚历山大藻(Alexandrium tamarense),研究该化合物对塔玛亚历山大藻的作用效果及可能的作用机制。【方法】利用10和20μg/mL的杀藻化合物处理塔玛亚历山大藻,观察藻细胞的响应。【结果】研究发现,利用20μg/mL的杀藻化合物处理藻,24 h后杀藻率达到84.1%,此时细胞内叶绿素a的含量仅为对照的58.5%。而当对藻细胞最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)进行测定时发现,20 μg/mL的浓度处理24 h后,最大光化学效率相比于对照细胞降低了55.5%,这说明藻细胞的光合作用过程受到抑制。细胞内部的活性氧(ROS)水平在处理0.5 h后即开始增高,并导致细胞内部的脂质过氧化,使细胞内丙二醛(MDA)的含量上升。藻细胞的抗氧化酶如超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性也有不同程度的增高,以清除细胞内部的活性氧。利用透射电镜观察发现,20 μg/mL的浓度处理24 h后,细胞内重要的细胞结构解体,细胞严重空泡化,显示出细胞死亡的特征。【结论】杀藻化合物(二异丁氧基苯基)胺能够通过引起藻细胞内部氧化损伤的方式引起藻细胞的死亡,同时该化合物仅针对少数几种藻类具有杀藻效果,因此该杀藻化合物在赤潮的治理方面具有较好的应用前景。

PROTEOMICS OF THE RED ALGA,GRACILARIA CHANGII (GRACILARIALES,RHODOPHYTA)1

The application of proteomics in alga research is still quite limited. The present report describes the establishment of the proteome of a red alga of economic importance, Gracilaria changii (Xia et Abbott) Abbott, Zhang et Xia. Initially, four protein extraction methods including direct precipitation by trichloroacetic acid/acetone, direct lysis using urea buffer, Tris buffer, and phenol/chloroform extraction were compared for their suitability to generate G. changii proteins for two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis (2‐DE). The phenol/chloroform protein extraction method gave the best 2‐DE resolution of the proteins. Using these 2‐DE gels and mass spectrometry, several proteins including pigment proteins, metabolic enzymes, and ion transporters were identified. These findings highlight the potential of using proteomic approaches for the investigation of G. changii protein function.     

Efficient extraction of proteins from woody plant samples for two-dimensional electrophoresis

Protein extraction from plant samples is usually challenging due to the low protein content and high level of contaminants. Therefore, the 2-DE pattern resolution is strongly influenced by the procedure of sample preparation. Efficient solubilization of proteins strictly depends on the chaotrope and detergent in the extraction buffer. Despite the large number of detergents that have been developed for the use in protein extraction and IEF, there is no single compound able to efficiently extract proteins from any source. Hence, optimization has to be performed for each type of sample. We tested several chaotrope/detergent combinations to achieve optimal solubilization and separation of proteins from Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.] needles and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) leaves and roots. The same chaotrope mixture (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea) was found to be suitable for the extraction and separation of proteins from all samples. Nonetheless, the efficiency of the surfactants tested varied between samples so that optimal extraction and separation was achieved with different detergents or combination of detergents for each sample. The 2-DE separation of spruce needle proteins was optimal in a mixture of two zwitterionic detergents (2% CHAPS and 2% decyl dimethylammonio propanesulfonate). Beech proteins were best separated in buffers containing sugar-based detergents (2% n-octyl beta-D-glucopiranoside in the case of leaf samples and 2% dodecyl maltoside for the root samples). IEF was performed in buffers with the same composition as the extraction buffer except for the root proteins that were better focused in a buffer containing 2% CHAPS.     

Optimizing protein solubility for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of human myocardium

In order to maximize the myocardial proteome observed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), the effect of (1) either an ionic or different zwitterionic detergents during tissue homogenization and (2) altering the "standard" detergent for isoelectric focusing (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylamino]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS)) to either the zwitterionic detergent amidosulfobetaine-14 (ASB-14) or N-decyl-N-N'-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propane sulfonate (SB3-10) was investigated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was shown to be a superior detergent for extraction of proteins during homogenization of cardiac tissue compared to the detergents ASB-14, SB3-10 or CHAPS. Additionally, both ASB-14 and SB3-10 exhibited better extraction than CHAPS for distinct regions of two-dimensional gels. In most cases, the best combination of homogenization and focusing conditions did not involve the use of the same detergent. Specifically, it was found that the ability to mix homogenization and focusing conditions can allow one to obtain an optimum balance between the resolution and number of protein spots obtained in 2-DE analysis of cardiac tissue. An excellent initial combination of buffers to utilize for the general examination of cardiac proteins was determined to be initial homogenization in a buffer containing ASB-14 followed by focusing in a buffer containing CHAPS.

Identification and characterization of a "biomarker of toxicity" from the proteome of the paralytic shellfish toxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (Dinophyceae)

The objective of this study was to identify and characterize a "biomarker of toxicity" from the proteome of Alexandrium tamarense, a paralytic shellfish toxin (PST)-producing dinoflagellate. A combination of 2-DE and MS approaches was employed to identify proteins of interest in the vegetative cells of several strains of A. tamarense with different toxin compositions and from different geographical locations. The electrophoretic analysis of the total water-soluble proteins from these toxic strains by 2-DE showed that several abundant proteins, namely AT-T1, AT-T2 and AT-T3, differing slightly in apparent Mr and pIs, were consistently present in all toxic strains of A. tamarense. Further analysis by MALDI-TOF MS and N-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed that they are isoforms of the same protein. Even more intriguing is that these proteins in A. tamarense have similar amino acid sequences and are closely related to a "biomarker of toxicity" previously reported in A. minutum. Unambiguous and highly species-specific identification was later achieved by comparing the PMFs of proteins in these two species. An initial attempt to characterize these proteins by generation of murine polyclonal antibodies against the AT-T1 protein was successful. Western blot analysis using the murine AT-T1-polycolonal antibodies identified all the toxic strains of A. tamarense and A. minutum, but not the nontoxic strain of A. tamarense. These results indicate that these protein characteristics for toxic strains are species-specific and that they are stable properties of the tested algae which are clearly distinguishable irrespective of geographical location and toxin composition. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the use of polyclonal antibodies against marker proteins purified from 2-DE gels to distinguish different strains and species of the PST-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium. It provides the basis for the production of monoclonal antibody probes against the "biomarkers of toxicity" for those dinoflagellates whose genome is incompletely characterized. Potentially, immunoassays could be developed to detect the presence of toxic algae in routine monitoring programs as well as to predict bloom development and movement.     

Column-based method to simultaneously extract DNA, RNA, and proteins from the same sample

We describe a procedure for the simultaneous extraction of proteins and nucleic acids from the same experimental sample allowing for direct correlations between genetic, genomic, and proteomic data. This approach, using commercially available column-based nucleic acid extraction kits, requires no hazardous chemicals and is a quick, reliable, and consistent method for concomitant protein extraction. Buffer choice is critical to completely solubilize all proteins in the sample. Proteins solubilized in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer did not represent the entire profile when compared with conventionally extracted proteins using the same buffer at the one-dimensional (1-D) sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) level, however proteins extracted from the columns and solubilized in a two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis lysis buffer showed a similar profile to conventionally extracted proteins when analyzed at both the 1-D and the 2-D level. We further showed that proteins extracted using these methods were compatible with Western blot analysis. This technique provides a simple and effective way to analyze protein and nucleic acids simultaneously from the same sample without affecting yield and quality.     

Efficient solubilization buffers for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of acidic and basic proteins extracted from wheat seeds

Plant tissues are made up of a broad range of proteins with a variety of properties. After extraction, solubilization of a diverse range of plant proteins for efficient proteomic analysis using two-dimensional electrophoresis is a challenging process. We tested the efficiency of 12 solubilization buffers in dissolving acidic and basic proteins extracted from mature seeds of wheat. The buffer containing two chaotropes (urea and thiourea), two detergents (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate and N-decyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propane-sulfonate), two reducing agents (dithiothreitol and tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride) and two types of carrier ampholytes (BioLyte pH 4-6 and pH 3-10) solubilized the most acidic proteins in the pH range between 4 and 7. The buffer made up of urea, thiourea, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate, DeStreak reagent (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden) and immobilized pH gradient buffer, pH 6-11 (Amersham Biosciences) solubilized the most basic proteins in the pH range between 6 and 11. These two buffers produced two-dimensional gels with high resolution, superior quality and maximum number of detectable protein (1425 acidic protein and 897 basic protein) spots.
