The maize pathogen Gibberella moniliformis produces fumonisins, a group of mycotoxins associated with several disorders in animals and humans, including cancer. The current focus of our research is to understand the regulatory mechanisms involved in fumonisin biosynthesis. In this study, we employed a proteomics approach to identify novel genes involved in the fumonisin biosynthesis under nitrogen stress. The combination of genome sequence, mutant strains, EST database, microarrays, and proteomics offers an opportunity to advance our understanding of this process. We investigated the response of the G. moniliformis proteome in limited nitrogen (N0, fumonisininducing) and excess nitrogen (N+, fumonisin-repressing) conditions by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. We selected 11 differentially expressed proteins, six from limited nitrogen conditions and five from excess nitrogen conditions, and determined the sequences by peptide mass fingerprinting and MS/MS spectrophotometry. Subsequently, we identified the EST sequences corresponding to the proteins and studied their expression profiles in different culture conditions. Through the comparative analysis of gene and protein expression data, we identified three candidate genes for functional analysis and our results provided valuable clues regarding the regulatory mechanisms of fumonisin biosynthesis. 相似文献

The wool proteome has been largely uncharted due to a lack of database coverage, poor protein extractability and dynamic range issues. Yet, investigating correlations between wool physical properties and protein content, or characterising UV-, heat- or processing-induced protein damage requires the availability of an identifiable and identified proteome.In this study we have achieved unprecedented wool proteome identification through a strategy of comprehensive data acquisition, iterative protein identification/validation and concurrent augmentation of the sequence database. Data acquisition comprised a range of different hyphenated MS techniques including LC–MS/MS, LC–MALDI, 2D-LC–MS/MS and SDS-PAGE LC–MS. Using iterative searching of databases and search result combination using ProteinScape, a systematic expansion of identifiable proteins in the sequence database was achieved. This was followed by extensive validation and rationalisation of the protein identifications. In total, 72 complete and 30 partial ovine-specific protein sequences were added to the database, and 113 wool proteins were identified.Enhanced access to ovine-specific protein identification and characterisation will facilitate all wool fibre protein chemistry and proteomics research. 相似文献

Pericardial fluid (PF) is considered as a biochemical window of heart. To date, there have been limited attempts to perform an in‐depth analysis of the PF proteome. In this study, an SDS‐PAGE‐LC‐MS/MS platform was utilized to explore depleted PF, which showed great coverage of low‐abundant proteins. In total, 1007 nonredundant proteins were identified with at least two peptides. This is the first comprehensive analysis of human PF proteome and provides a foundation for further application of PF in cardiovascular research. The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD000194. 相似文献

Xylem plays a major role in plant development and is considered part of the apoplast. Here, we studied the proteome of Brassica oleracea cv Bartolo and compared it to the plant cell wall proteome of another Brassicaceae, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. B. oleracea was chosen because it is technically difficult to harvest enough A. thaliana xylem sap for proteomic analysis. We studied the whole proteome and an N-glycoproteome obtained after Concanavalin A affinity chromatography. Altogether, 189 proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS using Brassica EST and cDNA sequences. A predicted signal peptide was found in 164 proteins suggesting that most proteins of the xylem sap are secreted. Eighty-one proteins were identified in the N-glycoproteome, with 25 of them specific of this fraction, suggesting that they were concentrated during the chromatography step. All the protein families identified in this study were found in the cell wall proteomes. However, proteases and oxido-reductases were more numerous in the xylem sap proteome, whereas enzyme inhibitors were rare. The origin of xylem sap proteins is discussed. All the experimental data including the MS/MS data were made available in the WallProtDB cell wall proteomic database. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major etiological factors responsible for acute and chronic liver disease and for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To determine the effects of HBV replication on host cell-protein expression, we utilized 2-DE and MS/MS analysis to compare and identify differentially expressed proteins between an HBV-producing cell line HepG2.2.15 and its parental cell line HepG2. Of the 66 spots identified as differentially expressed (+/- over twofold, p <0.05) between the two cell lines, 62 spots (corresponding to 61 unique proteins) were positively identified by MS/MS analysis. These proteins could be clearly divided into three major groups by cluster and metabolic/signaling pathway analysis: proteins involved in retinol metabolism pathway, calcium ion-binding proteins, and proteins associated with protein degradation pathways. Other proteins identified include those that function in diverse biological processes such as signal transduction, immune regulation, molecular chaperone, electron transport/redox regulation, cell proliferation/differentiation, and mRNA splicing. In summary, we profiled proteome alterations between HepG2.2.15 and HepG2 cells. The proteins identified in this study would be useful in revealing the mechanisms underlying HBV-host cell interactions and the development of HCC. This study can also provide some useful clues for antiviral research. 相似文献

Since the genome of Solanum lycopersicum L. was published in 2012, some studies have explored its proteome although with a limited depth. In this work, we present an extended characterization of the proteome of the tomato pericarp at its ripe red stage. Fractionation of tryptic peptides generated from pericarp proteins by off‐line high‐pH reverse‐phase phase chromatography in combination with LC‐MS/MS analysis on a Fisher Scientific Q Exactive and a Sciex Triple‐TOF 6600 resulted in the identification of 8588 proteins with a 1% FDR both at the peptide and protein levels. Proteins were mapped through GO and KEGG databases and a large number of the identified proteins were associated with cytoplasmic organelles and metabolic pathways categories. These results constitute one of the most extensive proteome datasets of tomato so far and provide an experimental confirmation of the existence of a high number of theoretically predicted proteins. All MS data are available in the ProteomeXchange repository with the dataset identifiers PXD004947 and PXD004932. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) are accessible through blood collection and represent a useful source for investigations on disease mechanisms and treatment response. Aiming to build a reference proteome database, we generated three proteome data sets from MNCs using a combination of SDS‐PAGE and nanoflow LC‐MS. Experiments were performed in triplicates and 514 unique proteins were identified by at least two non‐redundant peptides with 95% confidence for all replicates. Identified proteins are associated with a range of dermatologic, inflammatory and neurological conditions as well as molecular processes, such as free radical scavenging and cellular growth and proliferation. Mapping the MNC proteome provides a valuable resource for studies on disease pathogenesis and the identification of therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Ideally, shotgun proteomics would facilitate the identification of an entire proteome with 100% protein sequence coverage. In reality, the large dynamic range and complexity of cellular proteomes results in oversampling of abundant proteins, while peptides from low abundance proteins are undersampled or remain undetected. We tested the proteome equalization technology, ProteoMiner, in conjunction with Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) to determine how the equalization of protein dynamic range could improve shotgun proteomics methods for the analysis of cellular proteomes. Our results suggest low abundance protein identifications were improved by two mechanisms: (1) depletion of high abundance proteins freed ion trap sampling space usually occupied by high abundance peptides and (2) enrichment of low abundance proteins increased the probability of sampling their corresponding more abundant peptides. Both mechanisms also contributed to dramatic increases in the quantity of peptides identified and the quality of MS/MS spectra acquired due to increases in precursor intensity of peptides from low abundance proteins. From our large data set of identified proteins, we categorized the dominant physicochemical factors that facilitate proteome equalization with a hexapeptide library. These results illustrate that equalization of the dynamic range of the cellular proteome is a promising methodology to improve low abundance protein identification confidence, reproducibility, and sequence coverage in shotgun proteomics experiments, opening a new avenue of research for improving proteome coverage. 相似文献

The rhesus macaque is similar to humans both anatomically and physiologically as a primate, and has therefore been used extensively in medical and biological research, including reproductive physiology. Despite sequencing of the macaque genome, limited postgenomic studies have been performed to date. In studies aimed at characterizing spermatogenesis, we successfully identified 9078 macaque testis proteins corresponding to 8662 genes, using advanced MS and an optimized proteomics platform, indicative of complex protein compositions during macaque spermatogenesis. Immunohistochemistry analysis further revealed the presence of proteins from different types of testicular cells, including Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and various stages of germ cells. Our data provide expression evidence at protein level of 3010 protein‐coding genes in 8662 identified testis genes for the first time. We further identified 421 homologous genes from the proteome already known to be essential for male infertility in mouse. Comparative analysis of the proteome showed high similarity with the published human testis proteome, implying that macaque and human may use similar proteins to regulate spermatogenesis. Our in‐depth analysis of macaque spermatogenesis provides a rich resource for further studies, and supports the utility of macaque as a suitable model for the study of human reproduction. 相似文献

Mycoplasma suis belongs to the hemotrophic mycoplasmas that are associated with acute and chronic anemia in a wide range of livestock and wild animals. The inability to culture M. suis in vitro has hindered its characterization at the molecular level. Since the publication of M. suis genome sequences in 2011 only one proteome study has been published. Aim of the presented study was to significantly extend the proteome coverage of M. suis strain KI_3806 during acute infection by applying three different protein extraction methods followed by 1D SDS‐PAGE and LC‐MS/MS. A total of 404 of 795 M. suis KI_3806 proteins (50.8%) were identified. Data analysis revealed the expression of 83.7% of the predicted ORFs with assigned functions but also highlights the expression of 179 of 523 (34.2%) hypothetical proteins with unknown functions. Computational analyses identified expressed membrane‐associated hypothetical proteins that might be involved in adhesion or host–pathogen interaction. Furthermore, analyses of the expressed proteins indicated the existence of a hexose‐6‐phosphate‐transporter and an ECF transporter. In conclusion, our proteome study provides a further step toward the elucidation of the unique life cycle of M. suis and the establishment of an in vitro culture.

Axolotls (urodele amphibians) have the unique ability, among vertebrates, to perfectly regenerate many parts of their body including limbs, tail, jaw and spinal cord following injury or amputation. The axolotl limb is the most widely used structure as an experimental model to study tissue regeneration. The process is well characterized, requiring multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms. The preparation phase represents the first part of the regeneration process which includes wound healing, cellular migration, dedifferentiation and proliferation. The redevelopment phase represents the second part when dedifferentiated cells stop proliferating and redifferentiate to give rise to all missing structures. In the axolotl, when a limb is amputated, the missing or wounded part is regenerated perfectly without scar formation between the stump and the regenerated structure. Multiple authors have recently highlighted the similarities between the early phases of mammalian wound healing and urodele limb regeneration. In mammals, one very important family of growth factors implicated in the control of almost all aspects of wound healing is the transforming growth factor-beta family (TGF-beta). In the present study, the full length sequence of the axolotl TGF-beta1 cDNA was isolated. The spatio-temporal expression pattern of TGF-beta1 in regenerating limbs shows that this gene is up-regulated during the preparation phase of regeneration. Our results also demonstrate the presence of multiple components of the TGF-beta signaling machinery in axolotl cells. By using a specific pharmacological inhibitor of TGF-beta type I receptor, SB-431542, we show that TGF-beta signaling is required for axolotl limb regeneration. Treatment of regenerating limbs with SB-431542 reveals that cellular proliferation during limb regeneration as well as the expression of genes directly dependent on TGF-beta signaling are down-regulated. These data directly implicate TGF-beta signaling in the initiation and control of the regeneration process in axolotls. 相似文献

Breast‐cancer subtypes present with distinct clinical characteristics. Therefore, characterization of subtype‐specific proteins may augment the development of targeted therapies and prognostic biomarkers. To address this issue, MS‐based secretome analysis of eight breast cancer cell lines, corresponding to the three main breast cancer subtypes was performed. More than 5200 non‐redundant proteins were identified with 23, four, and four proteins identified uniquely in basal, HER2‐neu‐amplified, and luminal breast cancer cells, respectively. An in silico mRNA analysis using publicly available breast cancer tissue microarray data was carried out as a preliminary verification step. In particular, the expression profiles of 15 out of 28 proteins included in the microarray (from a total of 31 in our subtype‐specific signature) showed significant correlation with estrogen receptor (ER) expression. A MS‐based analysis of breast cancer tissues was undertaken to verify the results at the proteome level. Eighteen out of 31 proteins were quantified in the proteomes of ER‐positive and ER‐negative breast cancer tissues. Survival analysis using microarray data was performed to examine the prognostic potential of these selected candidates. Three proteins correlated with ER status at both mRNA and protein levels: ABAT, PDZK1, and PTX3, with the former showing significant prognostic potential. 相似文献

In spite of numerous investigations of regenerating salamander limbs, little attention has been paid to the details of how joints are reformed. An understanding of the process and mechanisms of joint regeneration in this model system for tetrapod limb regeneration would provide insights into developing novel therapies for inducing joint regeneration in humans. To this end, we have used the axolotl (Mexican Salamander) model of limb regeneration to describe the morphology and the expression patterns of marker genes during joint regeneration in response to limb amputation. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the mechanisms of joint formation whether it be development or regeneration are conserved. We also have determined that defects in the epiphyseal region of both forelimbs and hind limbs in the axolotl are regenerated only when the defect is small. As is the case with defects in the diaphysis, there is a critical size above which the endogenous regenerative response is not sufficient to regenerate the joint. This non-regenerative response in an animal that has the ability to regenerate perfectly provides the opportunity to screen for the signaling pathways to induce regeneration of articular cartilage and joints. 相似文献

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic soil‐borne pathogen that produces aflatoxins, the most potent naturally occurring carcinogenic compounds known. This work represents the first gel‐based profiling analysis of A. flavus proteome and establishes a 2D proteome map. Using 2DE and MALDI‐TOF‐MS/MS, we identified 538 mycelial proteins of the aflatoxigenic strain NRRL 3357, the majority of which were functionally annotated as related to various cellular metabolic and biosynthetic processes. Additionally, a few enzymes from the aflatoxin synthesis pathway were also identified. 相似文献

Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E isolated from bovine rumen is an industrially important bacterium as an efficient succinic acid producer. Recently, its full genome sequence was determined. In the present study, we analyzed the M. succiniciproducens proteome based on the genome information using 2-DE and MS. We established proteome reference map of M. succiniciproducens by analyzing whole cellular proteins, membrane proteins, and secreted proteins. More than 200 proteins were identified and characterized by MS/MS supported by various bioinformatic tools. The presence of proteins previously annotated as hypothetical proteins or proteins having putative functions were also confirmed. Based on the proteome reference map, cells in the different growth phases were analyzed at the proteome level. Comparative proteome profiling revealed valuable information to understand physiological changes during growth, and subsequently suggested target genes to be manipulated for the strain improvement. 相似文献
