We attempted to identify membrane proteins associated with the glycoconjugates and cell wall biosynthesis in the total membrane preparations of Aspergillus fumigatus. The total membrane preparations were first run on 1D gels, and then the stained gels were cut and submitted to in-gel digestion followed by 2D LC-MS/MS and database search. A total of 530 proteins were identified with at least two peptides detected with MS/MS spectra. Seventeen integral membrane proteins were involved in N-, O-glycosylation or GPI anchor biosynthesis. Nine membrane proteins were involved in cell wall biosynthesis. Eight proteins were identified as enzymes involved in sphingolipid synthesis. In addition, the proteins involved in cell wall and ergosterol biosynthesis can potentially be used as antifungal drug targets. Our method, for the first time, clearly provided a global view of the membrane proteins associated with glycoconjugates and cell wall biosynthesis in the total membrane proteome of A. fumigatus.  相似文献

Forward and reverse (18)O labeling are integrated with solution isoelectric focusing and capillary LC-tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate a new strategy for quantitative proteomics and to study abundance changes in mitochondrial proteins associated with drug resistance in MCF-7 human cancer cells. Galectin-3 binding protein, which is involved in apoptosis, was detected only in the resistant cell line, as a result of reverse labeling. Among 278 proteins identified, 12 were detected with abundances altered at least 2-fold.  相似文献

Osteosarcomas are common primary malignant bone tumors that do not respond to conventional low-dose treatments of methotrexate (Mtx), suggesting an intrinsic resistance to this drug. Previous work has shown that cDNAs generated from osteosarcoma mRNA from a fraction of patients contain sequence changes in the reduced folate carrier (RFC), the membrane protein transporter for Mtx. In this study, the functionality of the altered RFC proteins was assessed by fusing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) to the C-terminal, and examining the ability of the transfected constructs to complement a hamster cell line null for the carrier. Confocal microscopy and cell surface biotinylation indicated that all altered proteins were properly localized at the cell membrane. Only one of those examined, Leu291Pro, was unable to complement the null carrier line, but did bind Mtx at the cell surface. Thus, this alteration confers drug resistance since the carrier is unable to translocate the substrate across the cell membrane. Three alterations, Ser46Asn, Ser4Pro and Gly259Trp, while able to complement the carrier null line, conferred some degree of resistance to Mtx via a decreased rate of transport (Vmax). Another set of alterations, Glu21Lys, Ala7Val, and the combined changes Thr222Ile, Met254Thr, complemented the carrier null line and did not confer resistance to Mtx. Thus, some, but not all of these identified alterations in the RFC may contribute to the lack of responsiveness of osteosarcomas to Mtx treatment.  相似文献

Brucella virulence is linked to components of the cell envelope and tightly connected to the function of the BvrR/BvrS sensory-regulatory system. To quantify the impact of BvrR/BvrS on cell envelope proteins, we performed a label-free mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of spontaneously released outer membrane fragments from four strains of Brucella abortus (wild type virulent, avirulent bvrR- and bvrS- mutants as well as reconstituted virulent bvrR+ (bvrR-/pbvrR+)). We identified 167 differentially expressed proteins, of which 25 were assigned to the outer membrane. Approximately half of the outer membrane proteins decreased in abundance, whereas half increased. Notably, expression of five Omp3 family proteins decreased whereas five lipoproteins increased in the mutant strains. In the periplasmic space, by contrast, approximately 80% of the 60 differentially expressed proteins were increased in at least one avirulent mutant. Periplasmic proteins are primarily involved in substrate uptake and transport, and a uniform increase in this class may indicate a nutritional stress response, possibly a consequence of defective outer membrane function. Virtually all proteins reverted to wild type levels in the reconstituted virulent bvrR+ strain. We propose that the wide changes in cell envelope protein expression relate to the markedly avirulent phenotype of bvrR- and bvrS- mutants and that Brucella virulence depends on regulatory networks involving cell envelope and metabolism rather than on discrete virulence factors. This model may be relevant to other alpha-Proteobacteria harboring BvrR/BvrS orthologous systems known to be essential for parasitism or endosymbiosis.  相似文献

In this study, cytoplasmic membrane proteins of S. pneumoniae strain R6 (ATCC BBA-255) were effectively separated from cell wall or extracellular proteins by sodium carbonate precipitation (SCP) and ultracentrifugation. Forty seven proteins were analyzed as cytoplasmic membrane proteins from the 260 proteins identified by the shotgun proteomic method using SDS-PAGE/LC/MS-MS. ABC transporters for metabolites such as metals, oligopeptides, phosphate, sugar, and amino acids, and membrane proteins involved in phosphotransferse systems, were identified as the predominant and abundant, cytoplasmic membrane proteins that would be essential for nutrient uptake, antibiotic resistance and virulence mechanisms. Our result supports that gel-based shotgun proteomics combined with sodium carbonate precipitation and ultracentrifugation is an effective method for analysis of cytoplasmic membrane proteins of S. pneumoniae.  相似文献

ABSTRACT: Liver infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), a DNA virus of the Hepadnaviridae family, leads to severe disease, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The early steps of the viral life cycle are largely obscure and the host cell plasma membrane receptors are not known. HepaRG is the only proliferating cell line supporting HBV infection in vitro, following specific differentiation, allowing for investigation of new host host-cell factors involved in viral entry, within a more robust and reproducible environment. Viral infection generally begins with receptor recognition at the host cell surface, following highly specific cell-virus interactions. Most of these interactions are expected to take place at the plasma membrane of the HepaRG cells. In the present study, we used this cell line to explore changes between the plasma membrane of undifferentiated (-) and differentiated (+) cells and to identify differentially-regulated proteins or signaling networks that might potentially be involved in HBV entry. Our initial study identified a series of proteins that are differentially expressed in the plasma membrane of (-) and (+) cells and are good candidates for potential cell-virus interactions. To our knowledge, this is the first study using functional proteomics to study plasma membrane proteins from HepaRG cells, providing a platform for future experiments that will allow us to understand the cell-virus interaction and mechanism of HBV viral infection.  相似文献

We report on membrane protein changes in an L1210 leukemia cell line with a highly specific defect in the function of the methotrexate (MTX)-tetrahydrofolate cofactor transport carrier. This clonal line, MTXrA, made 100-fold resistant to MTX, was derived in a single step and exhibited stable resistance over 120 generations in the absence of drug. The transport defect was associated with a 10-fold decrease in influx Vmax without a change in influx Km. There was no difference between the MTXrA and parent lines in the levels or affinities of specific cell surface binders for MTX nor in the labeling of the 44-kDa membrane protein upon treatment with the specific affinity label, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of tritiated MTX. Consistent with impaired carrier function was the observation that trans-stimulation of MTX influx by intracellular 5-formyltetrahydrofolate observed in the parent line was not demonstrated in the MTXrA line. The transport defect was highly specific for the MTX-tetrahydrofolate cofactor transport carrier. Initial uptake rates for 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine and 2-deoxyglucose were unchanged and influx and net transport of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid were, in fact, increased. There was no cross-resistance of this line to phenylalanine mustard or cytosine arabinoside, agents that utilize specific amino acid and nucleoside transport carriers, respectively. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified plasma membrane preparations stained with Coomassie Blue revealed several protein differences between the parental and MTXrA lines. Most prominent is a band at approximately 190 kDa which ran with slightly greater mobility than a lesser staining band in the parent line. [3H]Borohydride labeling of cells also identified a distinct protein peak in the MTXrA line at approximately 190 kDa eliminated by prior treatment of cells with neuraminidase. Absence of expression of protein or mRNA related to the multidrug resistance gene as well as lack of cross-resistance to daunorubicin or trimetrexate indicate that this mechanism of resistance to MTX is completely unrelated to the multidrug resistance phenomenon observed with high molecular weight heterocyclic compounds. These data represent the first demonstration of membrane protein differences in a highly resistant L1210 murine leukemia cell line with a marked unique defect in MTX transport which appears to be related to impaired mobility of the tetrahydrofolate-cofactor carrier. Further studies are now required to elucidate the possible role of one or more of these proteins in the transport defect.  相似文献

Membrane and membrane-associated proteins are rich in known or potential pharmaceutical drug targets for carcinogenesis. In order to systemically analyze membrane proteins of human breast cancer, we isolated membrane from MCF-7 cells by sequential extraction by washing with three different buffers, namely, phosphate buffer (5 mM, pH 8.0), Tris (40 mM, pH 9.5), and sodium carbonate (100 mM pH 11). The extracted proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) using cup-loading and were then analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). A total of 137 spots from the gels of the three procedures were successfully identified. They corresponded to 79 distinct proteins. Among them, 22 exclusive proteins belonging to each washing procedure were also found, including P-glycoprotein, endoplasmin, Stress-70 protein, ADAM 10, protein disulfide isomerase, and glutamate receptor. These results indicate phosphate buffer to be the most beneficial for enrichment of peripheral membrane proteins, and sodium carbonate is beneficial for the presentation of integral membrane proteins but usually with poor resolution. The reference maps and identified proteins will serve as a basis for the further investigation of breast cancer, especially the proteomic comparison among different cell types of breast cancer, or among the different stages in the drug interfering process of the MCF-7 cell line.  相似文献

Proteomic analysis of plasma membrane lipid rafts of HL-60 cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Neutrophils acquire phagocytic activity as they differentiate. Recently, plasma membrane lipid rafts have been shown to play important roles in the process of phagocytosis in neutrophils. To characterize the proteins involved in phagocytosis and to elucidate the process by which they acquire phagocytic activity, we investigated by nano-LC-MS/MS analysis the changes in protein composition of plasma membrane lipid rafts during DMSO-induced differentiation of the human leukemia cell line HL-60 cells into neutrophilic lineage. Based on the spectrum counts of 147 proteins identified, 25 proteins were upregulated and 49 were downregulated by DMSO treatment. CD11b/CD18 subunits of beta2-integrin Mac-1, CD35, and GPI-80, which are known to be upregulated during differentiation, were dominantly detected in the lipid rafts of DMSO-treated cells. Many known membrane proteins, G proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins were also detected and they showed characteristic distributions. Absolute quantification of nine proteins in the lipid rafts using internal standard peptides labeled with stable isotopes showed that the amount of protein almost corresponded to the results obtained by spectrum count. Identified proteins, expression of which was altered by DMSO treatment, are expected to be candidate proteins involved in differentiation and functions of neutrophils.  相似文献

The resistance of tumors to cisplatin remains a major cause of treatment failure in cancer patients. Multiple, simultaneous alterations are frequently encountered in cancer cells selected for cisplatin resistance. To determine whether the complex phenotype results from many different cellular alterations, single-step variants were isolated based on one-step selection in cisplatin. Reduced drug accumulation is a common feature of cisplatin-resistant (CP-r) cancer cells, which is probably caused by one or more dominant genes. Pulse-chase labeling and pulse-chase biotinylation of cell surface proteins suggest that membrane protein mislocalization occurs in CP-r cells, caused mainly by a defect in plasma membrane protein recycling, manifested also as a defect in acidification of lysosomes. This membrane protein mislocalization is presumed to reduce cell surface expression of a putative cisplatin carrier or carriers. In cells selected in several steps, decreased expression of folate-binding protein and arsenic-binding proteins, and reduced endocytosis were detected in CP-r cells, contributing to the reduced uptake of cisplatin, methotrexate and other related compounds. Multiple mechanisms in CP-r cells keep cytotoxic platinum compounds out of cells through defective expression of cell surface proteins such as transporters and carriers, and decreased expression of proteins involved in endocytosis.  相似文献

Cancer cells secrete soluble factors and various extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, into their tissue microenvironment. The secretion of exosomes is speculated to facilitate local invasion and metastatic spread. Here, we used an in vivo metastasis model of human bladder carcinoma cell line T24 without metastatic capacity and its two isogenic derivate cell lines SLT4 and FL3, which form metastases in the lungs and liver of mice, respectively. Cultivation in CLAD1000 bioreactors rather than conventional culture flasks resulted in a 13‐ to 16‐fold increased exosome yield and facilitated quantitative proteomics of fractionated exosomes. Exosomes from T24, SLT4, and FL3 cells were partitioned into membrane and luminal fractions and changes in protein abundance related to the gain of metastatic capacity were identified by quantitative iTRAQ proteomics. We identified several proteins linked to epithelial–mesenchymal transition, including increased abundance of vimentin and hepatoma‐derived growth factor in the membrane, and casein kinase II α and annexin A2 in the lumen of exosomes, respectively, from metastatic cells. The change in exosome protein abundance correlated little, although significant for FL3 versus T24, with changes in cellular mRNA expression. Our proteomic approach may help identification of proteins in the membrane and lumen of exosomes potentially involved in the metastatic process.  相似文献

There has been increasing interest in the potential applications of gold (III) complexes as anticancer drugs with higher cytotoxicity and fewer side effects than existing metal anticancer drugs. Our previous findings demonstrated that gold (III) porphyrin 1a preferentially induced apoptosis in a cancer cell line (SUNE1). In this study, we identified differentially expressed proteins related to the drug's cytotoxic action by comparing the protein alterations induced by gold (III) porphyrin 1a and cisplatin treatments. Several clusters of altered proteins were identified, including cellular structure and stress-related chaperone proteins, proteins involved in reactive oxygen species and enzyme proteins, translation factors, proteins that mediate cell proliferation or differentiation, and proteins participating in the internal degradation systems. Our results indicated that multiple factors leading to apoptosis were involved in drug cytotoxicity in SUNE1 cells. The balance between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic signals determined the final fate of cancer cells.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs), which are potent antigen presenting cells (APCs), are utilized to deliver the signals essential for the initiation of immune responses. In this study, we used an interdisciplinary approach to characterize the effect of K562 cells, a human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line, on the biomechanical characteristics and immune functions of DCs. When co-cultured with K562 cells, the biomechanical and immunological characteristics of immature DCs (imDCs) and mature DCs (mDCs) were severely impaired compared with controls. The changes include increased membrane viscoelasticity, reorganized cytoskeleton (F-actin), suppressed capability of antigen uptake, transendothelium migration, and activation of naïve T cells. In exploring the mechanisms of these changes, we identified several genes and proteins by microarray analysis and 2D gel electrophoresis. Changes were found in the cytoskeleton-related genes and proteins (such as cofilin1 and profilin1) and matrix-related genes and proteins (such as TIMP1 and MMP9). These findings provide a molecular basis for the biomechanical and immunological changes of DCs in response to K562 and may help to elucidate the mechanism for tumor immune escape.  相似文献

The polarized delivery of membrane proteins to the cell surface and the initial secretion of lysosomal proteins into the culture medium were studied in the polarized human intestinal adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 in the presence or absence of the microtubule-active drug nocodazole. The appearance of newly synthesized proteins at the plasma membrane was measured by their sensitivity to proteases added either to the apical or the basolateral surface of cells grown on nitrocellulose filters. Nocodazole was found to reduce the delivery to the cell surface of an apical membrane protein, aminopeptidase N, and to lead to its partial missorting to the basolateral surface, whereas the drug had no influence on the delivery of a basolateral 120-kD membrane protein defined by a monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, nocodazole selectively blocked the apical secretion of two lysosomal proteins, cathepsin D and acid alpha-glucosidase, whereas the drug had no influence on their basolateral secretion. These results suggest that in Caco-2 cells an intact microtubular network is important for the transport of newly synthesized proteins to the apical cell surface.  相似文献
