A two-dimensional proteome map of maize endosperm

We have established a proteome reference map for maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and protein identification with LC-MS/MS analysis. This investigation focussed on proteins in major spots in a 4-7 pI range and 10-100 kDa M(r) range. Among the 632 protein spots processed, 496 were identified by matching against the NCBInr and ZMtuc-tus databases (using the SEQUEST software). Forty-two per cent of the proteins were identified against maize sequences, 23% against rice sequences and 21% against Arabidopsis sequences. Identified proteins were not only cytoplasmic but also nuclear, mitochondrial or amyloplastic. Metabolic processes, protein destination, protein synthesis, cell rescue, defense, cell death and ageing are the most abundant functional categories, comprising almost half of the 632 proteins analyzed in our study. This proteome map constitutes a powerful tool for physiological studies and is the first step for investigating the maize endosperm development.     

The accumulation of abundant soluble proteins changes early in the development of the primary roots of maize (Zea mays L.)

A reference database of the major soluble proteins of the primary root of the maize inbred line B73 was generated 5 days after germination (DAG) using a combination of 2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS. A total of 302 protein spots were detected with CBB in a pH 4-7 range and 81 proteins representing 74 distinct Genbank accessions were identified. Only 28% of the major proteins identified in 5 DAG primary roots were identified in similarly analyzed 9 DAG primary roots documenting remarkable changes in the accumulation of abundant soluble proteins early in primary root development.     

Towards the proteome of the marine bacterium Rhodopirellula baltica: mapping the soluble proteins

The marine bacterium Rhodopirellula baltica, a member of the phylum Planctomycetes, has distinct morphological properties and contributes to remineralization of biomass in the natural environment. On the basis of its recently determined complete genome we investigated its proteome by 2-DE and established a reference 2-DE gel for the soluble protein fraction. Approximately 1000 protein spots were excised from a colloidal Coomassie-stained gel (pH 4-7), analyzed by MALDI-MS and identified by PMF. The non-redundant data set contained 626 distinct protein spots, corresponding to 558 different genes. The identified proteins were classified into role categories according to their predicted functions. The experimentally determined and the theoretically predicted proteomes were compared. Proteins, which were most abundant in 2-DE gels and the coding genes of which were also predicted to be highly expressed, could be linked mainly to housekeeping functions in glycolysis, tricarboxic acid cycle, amino acid biosynthesis, protein quality control and translation. Absence of predictable signal peptides indicated a localization of these proteins in the intracellular compartment, the pirellulosome. Among the identified proteins, 146 contained a predicted signal peptide suggesting their translocation. Some proteins were detected in more than one spot on the gel, indicating post-translational modification. In addition to identifying proteins present in the published sequence database for R. baltica, an alternative approach was used, in which the mass spectrometric data was searched against a maximal ORF set, allowing the identification of four previously unpredicted ORFs. The 2-DE reference map presented here will serve as framework for further experiments to study differential gene expression of R. baltica in response to external stimuli or cellular development and compartmentalization.     

红莲型水稻细胞质雄性不育花粉总蛋白质初步比较分析

采用固相pH梯度/SDS-PAGE双向电泳对红莲型细胞质雄性不育水稻的不育系(YTA)和保持系(YTB)二核期花粉总蛋白质进行了分离,通过银染显色,获得了分辨率和重复性较好的双向电泳图谱。用PDQuest2DE软件可识别约1500个蛋白质点,其中差异表达的蛋白质点数为120。将其中15个差异点采用基质辅助激光解析电离飞行时间质谱(matrix assisted laser desorption/ionizaton time of flight mass spectrometry,MALDI-TOF-MS)进行了肽质指纹图分析,通过采用Mascot软件对MSDB数据库查询,其中7个蛋白质点得到了鉴定。YTA相对于YTB有部分参与物质和能量代谢的蛋白质缺失或表达量降低,这些蛋白质分别是水稻线粒体H -转运ATPase(H -ATPase)α链、盐诱导型膜联蛋白、线粒体NAD -依赖型苹果酶和磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶等。这些蛋白质的表达下调或缺失可能与线粒体提供能量不足而导致的花粉不能正常发育有关。线粒体电压依赖性阴离子通道(VDAC)这一重要蛋白质在YTA中的上调表达有可能与花粉败育过程中细胞的程序性死亡相关。     

Maize (Zea mays L.) seedling leaf nuclear proteome and differentially expressed proteins between a hybrid and its parental lines

To better understand the underlying molecular basis of leaf development in maize, a reference map of nuclear proteins in basal region of seedling leaf was established using a combination of 2DE and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. In total, 441 reproducible protein spots in nuclear proteome of maize leaf basal region were detected with silver staining in a pH range of 3–10, among which 203 spots corresponding to 163 different proteins were identified. As expected, proteins implicated in RNA and protein‐associated functions were overrepresented in nuclear proteome. Remarkably, a high percentage (10%) of proteins was identified to be involved in cell division and growth. In addition, comparative nuclear proteomic analysis in leaf basal region of highly heterotic hybrid Mo17/B73 and its parental lines was also performed and 52 of 445 (11.69%) detected protein spots were differentially expressed between the hybrid and its parental lines, among which 16 protein spots displayed nonadditively expressed pattern. These results indicated that hybridization between two parental lines can cause changes in the expression of a variety of nuclear proteins, which may be responsible for the observed leaf size heterosis.

Proteomic analysis of the fetal brain

We applied proteomic technologies to analyze the human fetal brain. Such an analysis could provide us with important information on the development of the early neuronal life in healthy and diseased states. The proteins from the cerebellum of control subjects were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry on the basis of peptide mass fingerprinting, following in-gel digestion with trypsin. Approximately 3,000 spots, excised from three two-dimensional gels, were analyzed which resulted in the identification of about 1,700 proteins that were the products of 437 different genes. About half of them are enzyme subunits and are mainly localized in the cytosol and in mitochondria. The most frequently identified proteins in the various gels were heat shock proteins, house-keeping enzymes, such as ATP synthase chains, protein disulfide isomerase, and structural proteins, such as tubulin chains. Seven gene products were identified for the first time in the fetal brain. The other proteins had also been detected in other human samples which were analyzed in our laboratory. Most proteins were represented by multiple spots. In average, about 3-5 spots were detected per gene product. The fetal brain database includes proteins with important functions and also with unknown functions and represents today one of the largest two-dimensional databases for higher eukaryotic proteomes. It may be a useful tool in the investigation of protein changes in neurodegenerative diseases early in life.     

Towards an analysis of the rice mitochondrial proteome

Purified rice (Oryza sativa) mitochondrial proteins have been arrayed by isoelectric focusing/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), by blue-native (BN) PAGE, and by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (LC) separation (LC-mass spectrometry [MS]). From these protein arrays, we have identified a range of rice mitochondrial proteins, including hydrophilic/hydrophobic proteins (grand average of hydropathicity = -1.27 to +0.84), highly basic and acid proteins (isoelectric point = 4.0-12.5), and proteins over a large molecular mass range (6.7-252 kD), using proteomic approaches. BN PAGE provided a detailed picture of electron transport chain protein complexes. A total of 232 protein spots from isoelectric focusing/PAGE and BN PAGE separations were excised, trypsin digested, and analyzed by tandem MS (MS/MS). Using this dataset, 149 of the protein spots (the products of 91 nonredundant genes) were identified by searching translated rice open reading frames from genomic sequence and six-frame translated rice expressed sequence tags. Sequence comparison allowed us to assign functions to a subset of 85 proteins, including many of the major function categories expected for this organelle. A further six spots were matched to rice sequences for which no specific function has yet been determined. Complete digestion of mitochondrial proteins with trypsin yielded a peptide mixture that was analyzed directly by reverse-phase LC via organic solvent elution from a C-18 column (LC-MS). These data yielded 170 MS/MS spectra that matched 72 sequence entries from open reading frame and expressed sequence tag databases. Forty-five of these were obtained using LC-MS alone, whereas 28 proteins were identified by both LC-MS and gel-based separations. In total, 136 nonredundant rice proteins were identified, including a new set of 23 proteins of unknown function located in plant mitochondria. We also report the first direct identification, to our knowledge, of PPR (pentatricopeptide repeat) proteins in the plant mitochondrial proteome. This dataset provides the first extensive picture, to our knowledge, of mitochondrial functions in a model monocot plant.     

Specific changes in total and mitochondrial proteomes are associated with higher levels of heterosis in maize hybrids

The phenomenon of hybrid vigor (heterosis) has long been harnessed by plant breeders to improve world food production. However, the changes that are essential for heterotic responses and the mechanisms responsible for heterosis remain undefined. Large increases in biomass and yield in high-heterosis hybrids suggest that alterations in bioenergetic processes may contribute to heterosis. Progeny from crosses between various inbred lines vary in the extent of vigor observed. Field-grown maize F(1) hybrids that consistently exhibited either low or high heterosis across a variety of environments were examined for changes in proteins that may be correlated with increased plant vigor and yield. Unpollinated ears at the time of flowering (ear shoots) were selected for the studies because they are metabolically active, rich in mitochondria, and the sizes of the ears are diagnostic of yield heterosis. Total protein and mitochondrial proteomes were compared among low- and higher-heterosis hybrids. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis was used to identify allelic and/or isoform differences linked to heterosis. Identification of differentially regulated spots by mass spectrometry revealed proteins involved in stress responses as well as primary carbon and protein metabolism. Many of these proteins were identified in multiple spots, but analysis of their abundances by label-free mass spectrometry suggested that most of the expression differences were due to isoform variation rather than overall protein amount. Thus, our proteomics studies suggest that expression of specific alleles and/or post-translational modification of specific proteins correlate with higher levels of heterosis.     

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-based analysis provides global insights into the cotton ovule and fiber proteomes

Proteomic analysis of upland cotton was performed to profile the global detectable proteomes of ovules and fibers using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). A total of 1,203 independent protein spots were collected from representative 2DE gels, which were digested with trypsin and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization-time-offlight/ time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry (MS or MS/MS) data were then searched against a local database constructed from Gossypium hirsutum genome sequences, resulting in successful identification of 975 protein spots (411 for ovules and 564 for fibers). Functional annotation analysis of the 975 identified proteins revealed that ovule-specific proteins were mainly enriched in functions related to fatty acid elongation, sulfur amino acid metabolism and post-replication repair, while fiber-specific proteins were enriched in functions related to root hair elongation, galactose metabolism and D-xylose metabolic processes. Further annotation analysis of the most abundant protein spots showed that 28.96% of the total proteins in the ovule were mainly located in the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion and ribosome, whereas in fibers, 27.02% of the total proteins were located in the cytoskeleton, nuclear envelope and cell wall. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses of the ovule-specific protein spots P61, P93 and P198 and fiber-specific protein spots 230, 477 and 511 were performed to validate the proteomics data. Protein-protein interaction network analyses revealed very different network cluster patterns between ovules and fibers. This work provides the largest protein identification dataset of 2DE-detectable proteins in cotton ovules and fibers and indicates potentially important roles of tissue-specific proteins, thus providing insights into the cotton ovule and fiber proteomes on a global scale.     

Proteomic Analysis Demonstrates that Elongation of Below-Ear Internodes in Maize is Related to Three Different Hormones

In many grain crops, the length of internodes below ears is related to lodging resistance in the field. To clarify the relationship between internode morphological differentiation and internode proteins during primary elongation stages in maize (Zea mays L.), we used proteomics analysis to explore factors regulating internodes in eight elite inbred maize lines: Zong3, Yu87-1, Xun9058, Xun928, Chang7-2, Zheng58, P2, and A50—the parents of four commercial hybrids in China (Yuyu22, Xundan20, Zhengdan958, and Jinsai6850). A total of 66 protein spots corresponding to 48 non-redundant proteins were identified in developing seventh to ninth leaf internodes. Of these spots, seven spots corresponding to six non-redundant proteins were related to the gibberellin (GA) pathway. Nineteen protein spots corresponding to 13 non-redundant proteins were related to the auxin (IAA) pathway, and 31 protein spots corresponding to 20 non-redundant proteins were associated with ethylene biosynthesis. A correlation analysis revealed that GA and IAA contents are negatively correlated with internode length, with the first hormone more strongly length-correlated than the second.     

Histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling are required for UV-B-dependent transcriptional activation of regulated genes in maize

The nuclear proteomes of maize (Zea mays) lines that differ in UV-B tolerance were compared by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis after UV light treatment. Differential accumulation of chromatin proteins, particularly histones, constituted the largest class identified by mass spectrometry. UV-B-tolerant landraces and the B73 inbred line show twice as many protein changes as the UV-B-sensitive b, pl W23 inbred line and transgenic maize expressing RNA interference constructs directed against chromatin factors. Mass spectrometic analysis of posttranslational modifications on histone proteins demonstrates that UV-B-tolerant lines exhibit greater acetylation on N-terminal tails of histones H3 and H4 after irradiation. These acetylated histones are enriched in the promoter and transcribed regions of the two UV-B-upregulated genes examined; radiation-sensitive lines lack this enrichment. DNase I and micrococcal nuclease hypersensitivity assays indicate that chromatin adopts looser structures around the selected genes in the UV-B-tolerant samples. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments identified additional chromatin factor changes associated with the nfc102 test gene after UV-B treatment in radiation-tolerant lines. Chromatin remodeling is thus shown to be a key process in acclimation to UV-B, and lines deficient in this process are more sensitive to UV-B.     

Plant mitochondrial rps2 genes code for proteins with a C-terminal extension that is processed

A gene (rps2) coding for ribosomal protein S2 (RPS2) is present in the mitochondrial (mt) genome of several monocot plants, but absent from the mtDNA of dicots. Confirming that in dicot plants the corresponding gene has been transferred to the nucleus, a corresponding Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear gene was identified that codes for mitochondrial RPS2. As several yeast and mammalian genes coding for mt ribosomal proteins, the Arabidopsis RPS2 apparently has no N-terminal targeting sequence. In the maize mt genome, two rps2 genes were identified and both are transcribed, although at different levels. As in wheat and rice, the maize genes code for proteins with long C-terminal extensions, as compared to their bacterial counterparts. These extensions are not conserved in sequence. Using specific antibodies against one of the maize proteins we found that a large protein precursor is indeed synthesized, but it is apparently processed to give the mature RPS2 protein which is associated with the mitochondrial ribosome.     

Sequence and comparative analysis of the maize NB mitochondrial genome

The NB mitochondrial genome found in most fertile varieties of commercial maize (Zea mays subsp. mays) was sequenced. The 569,630-bp genome maps as a circle containing 58 identified genes encoding 33 known proteins, 3 ribosomal RNAs, and 21 tRNAs that recognize 14 amino acids. Among the 22 group II introns identified, 7 are trans-spliced. There are 121 open reading frames (ORFs) of at least 300 bp, only 3 of which exist in the mitochondrial genome of rice (Oryza sativa). In total, the identified mitochondrial genes, pseudogenes, ORFs, and cis-spliced introns extend over 127,555 bp (22.39%) of the genome. Integrated plastid DNA accounts for an additional 25,281 bp (4.44%) of the mitochondrial DNA, and phylogenetic analyses raise the possibility that copy correction with DNA from the plastid is an ongoing process. Although the genome contains six pairs of large repeats that cover 17.35% of the genome, small repeats (20-500 bp) account for only 5.59%, and transposable element sequences are extremely rare. MultiPip alignments show that maize mitochondrial DNA has little sequence similarity with other plant mitochondrial genomes, including that of rice, outside of the known functional genes. After eliminating genes, introns, ORFs, and plastid-derived DNA, nearly three-fourths of the maize NB mitochondrial genome is still of unknown origin and function.     

A reference map of a human pituitary adenoma proteome

In order to compare the proteomes from different cell types of pituitary adenomas for our long-term goal to clarify the molecular mechanisms that participate in the formation of pituitary adenoma, and to detect any tumor-related marker for an "early-stage" diagnosis, the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) reference map of a pituitary adenoma tissue proteome is described here. A vertical, two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system and PDQuest image analysis software have been used to provide a high level of between-gel reproducibility and to accurately array each protein expressed in a pituitary adenoma tissue. Mass spectrometry (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight MALDI-TOF and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole-ion trap LC-ESI-Q-IT) and protein databases were used to characterize each protein in the 2-D gel. The results demonstrate that a good reproducibility of the 2-D gel pattern was attained. The position deviation of matched spots among four 2-D gels was 1.95 +/- 0.45 mm in the isoelectric focusing direction, and 1.70 +/- 0.53 mm in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis direction. A total of ca. 1000 protein spots were separated by 2-DE, and 135 protein spots that represent 111 proteins were characterized with mass spectrometry (96 spots for MALDI-TOF, 39 spots for LC-ESI-Q-IT). The characterized proteins include pituitary hormones, cellular signals, enzymes, cellular-defense proteins, cell-structure proteins, transport proteins, etc. Those proteins were located in the cytoplasmic, cellular membrane, mitochondrial, endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear, ribonucleosome, extracellular fractions, or were secreted in plasma, etc. Those identified proteins contribute to a functional profile of the pituitary adenoma proteome. These data will be used to expand the proteome database of the human pituitary, which can be accessed in the website http://www.utmem.edu /proteomics.     

Development of a Listeria monocytogenes EGDe partial proteome reference map and comparison with the protein profiles of food isolates

A partially annotated proteome reference map of the food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes was developed for exponentially growing cells under standardized, optimal conditions by using the sequenced strain EGDe (serotype 1/2a) as a model organism. The map was developed by using a reproducible total protein extraction and two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis procedure, and it contained 33 identified proteins representing the four main protein functional classes. In order to facilitate analysis of membrane proteins, a protein compartmentalization procedure was assessed. The method used provided partial fractionation of membrane and cytosolic proteins. The total protein 2-D profiles of three serotype 1/2a strains and one serotype 1/2b strain isolated from food were compared to the L. monocytogenes EGDe proteome. An average of 13% of the major protein spots in the food strain proteomes were not matched in the strain EGDe proteome. The variation was greater for the less intense spots, and on average 28% of these spots were not matched. Two of the proteins identified in L. monocytogenes EGDe were missing in one or more of the food isolates. These two proteins were proteins involved in the main glycolytic pathway and in metabolism of coenzymes and prosthetic groups. The two corresponding genes were found by PCR amplification to be present in the four food isolates. Our results show that the L. monocytogenes EGDe reference map is a valuable starting point for analyses of strains having various origins and could be useful for analyzing the proteomes of different isolates of this pathogen.     

Proteome resolution by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis varies with the commercial source of IPG strips

By facilitating reproducible first dimension separations, commercial immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips enable high throughput and high-resolution proteomic analyses using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Amersham, Biorad, Invitrogen, and Sigma all market linear pH 3-10 IPG strips. We have applied optimized 2DE protocols with both membrane and soluble brain protein extracts to critically evaluate all four products. Resolved protein spots were quantitatively evaluated after carrying out these protocols using IPG strips from the four companies. Biorad and Amersham IPG strips resolved a high number of membrane and soluble proteins, respectively. Furthermore, Amersham IPG strips eluted the largest amount of protein into the second dimension gels and had the most protein remaining in the strip after 2DE. Biorad and Amersham IPG strips maintained a consistent linear pH 3-10 gradient, whereas those from Invitrogen appeared nonlinear or "compressed" within the central pH region. The gradient range within Sigma IPG strips appeared to be slightly less than pH 3-10, due to one extended pH unit within the gradient. Overall, all four commercially available IPG strips have the ability to resolve both membrane and soluble brain proteomes. The difference is that Amersham and Biorad do so more consistently and with better spot resolution. It appears that the physical/chemical nature of commercially available IPG strips can vary considerably, leading to marked differences in subsequent protein resolution in 2DE. These differences likely reflect variations in the uptake of proteins into the strips, and differences in the focusing and elution of proteins from the first to the second dimension. These differences would appear, in part, to underlie some inter-lab variations in the effective resolution of proteomes.     

High-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of nuclear proteins: a comparison of HeLa nuclei prepared by three different methods.

A comparative analysis of HeLa cell nuclear proteins is presented using Iso-Dalt methods of protein resolution in two dimensions. The nuclear proteins were prepared by (1) spin through glycerol cushion, (2) spin through sucrose cushion, or (3) Triton wash. Improved resolution of total nuclear proteins in the range of pH 4.5-6.0 was achieved by substituting longer isotubes in combination with broad-range ampholines during the isoelectric focusing step. An attempt to indicate silver stainable protein spots common to total cellular extracts and nuclear preparations has been made. Also, proteins that appear to be well represented in all three nuclear preparations and remain undetectable in the total cellular protein pattern have been marked as probably being enriched nuclear proteins. Such a comparative analysis of whole nuclear protein preparations made it possible to document that the different preparations preserved the same set of proteins. The Triton-wash method of obtaining nuclei was identified as the preferred choice. Coomassie-stained gels and blots of these nuclear proteins could serve as a guide for accessing relevant protein spots for further biochemical analysis such as immunoblotting.
