Identification of the polyamine induced proteins in Escherichia coli.

The polyamine (PA)-induced proteins were identified by SDS-PAGE, and by two dimensional gel analysis in Escherichia coli strains. A large number of the PA-induced proteins were acidic. The molecular weights of the most highly induced proteins were 40 and 82 kDa proteins in the wild type and PA-auxotrophic mutant, respectively. Although a part of the PA-induced proteins were induced both in the wild type and PA auxotrophic mutant, most of them seem to be induced either in the wild type or mutant. These features may provide a foundation for evaluating the role of the PA-induced proteins relative to the physiology and environmental stress of Escherichia coli.     

Purification and Characterization of the Egg Jelly Macromolecules, Sialoglycoprotein and Fucose Sulfate Glycoconjugate, of the Sea Urchin Hemicentrotus Pulcherrimus

A sialoglycoprotein and a fucose sulfate glycoconjugate (FSG) were purified from egg jelly of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus . Sialoglycoprotein which consisted of sialic acid (90%, w/w) and protein (10%, w/w) did not cause induction of the acrosome reaction and sperm isoagglutination. FSG which contained one mol sulfate/mol fucose possessed 2.0 times protein to fucose by weight. The proteins in intact FSG were separated to two major (258 kDa and 237 kDa) and one minor (120 kDa) proteins by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) while the proteins could not be separated by HPLC in the presence of 0.1% SDS or SDS-PAGE without 2-ME. However, after carboxymethylation of FSG, two major (260 kDa and 240 kDa) proteins and two minor (140 kDa and 135 kDa) proteins were separated from the fucose sulfate moiety by HPLC in the presence of 0.1% SDS or SDS-PAGE without 2-ME. When FSG was first carboxymethylated with non-radioactive iodoacetic acid and then reduced with 2-ME and finally carboxymethylated with ¹⁴C-iodoacetic acid, the most of radioactivity was detected in 140 kDa and 135 kDa proteins. Carboxymethylted-FSG was less potent than intact FSG in induction of the acrosome reaction. Fucoidan, a fucose sulfate polymer, did not induce the acrosome reaction.     

Auxin-Induced Changes in Protein Synthesis in the Abscission Zone of Bean Explants

Treatment of bean pulvinar explants with auxin significantlydelayed abscission. The pattern of protein synthesis in beanexplants that were treated with and without auxin was investigatedby labelling the pulvinar segments with [³⁵S]-methionine andanalyzing the polypeptides by one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis.One dimensional gel electrophoresis of labelled proteins revealedan increased synthesis of 63, 54 and 29 kDa polypeptides anddecreased synthesis of 60, 49, 30 and 23 kDa polypeptides inthe presence of auxin. Further analysis of proteins on two dimensionalgels revealed several differences in polypeptides between controland auxin-treated explants. These results provide evidence forthe alteration of protein synthesis by auxin in bean explantsand suggest that auxin delays abscission by regulating the synthesisof specific polypeptides. ¹Scientific Paper No. 7934, College of Agriculture and HomeEconomics Research Center, Washington State University, Pullman,Washington, Project 0321. ²Supported by National Science Foundation grant DCB-8502215to BWP (Received September 11, 1987; Accepted November 12, 1987)     

Identification of Differentially Expressed Water‐insoluble Proteins in the Encystment Process of Colpoda cucullus by Two‐dimensional Electrophoresis and LC‐MS/MS Analysis

In the encystment process of the ciliate protist Colpoda cucullus, we observed that the cell total protein abundance was reduced at 12 h–1 d after the onset of encystment induction subsequent to the reduction in mRNA abundance. We analyzed the alteration of the expression levels of water‐insoluble proteins by two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (Tween‐80), and we identified proteins whose expression levels were altered in the encystment process by a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The expression level of a 60‐kDa protein (p60; heat shock protein 60) was temporarily enhanced and that of a 55‐kDa protein (p55; actin) and a 49‐kDa protein (p49; actin) was enhanced in the Colpoda encystment process. In mature cysts, the expression level of p55 and p49 tended to be reduced, whereas the expression level of a 50‐kDa protein (p50d; α‐tubulin), a 25‐kDa protein (p25; α‐tubulin) and a 52‐kDa protein (p52c; β‐tubulin) was enhanced.     

Changes in chorion proteins induced by the exudate released from the egg cortex at the time of fertilization in the teleost, Oryzias latipes

The chorion of unfertilized medaka Oryzias latipes eggs consists of two major proteins (77–73 and 49 kDa) and a minor 150 kDa protein. Upon fertilization, these major chorion proteins are polymerized to insoluble high molecular weight proteins via the temporary formation of several new proteins (132, 114, 62 and 61 kDa). Increasing chorion toughness is closely related to the formation of high molecular weight proteins and the increasing insolubility of the chorion proteins. The changes in chorion proteins and hardening could be induced in vitro in isolated chorions by an egg exudate, which includes cortical alveolar contents. The effects of temperature and pH on the egg exudate-induced changes in chorion proteins were examined in the present study. The major proteins could be digested by proteolytic enzymes. The 49 kDa protein was PAS-positive. Analysis with polyclonal antibodies against the major proteins demonstrated that the temporarily formed 62 and 61 kDa proteins were derived from the 77–73 kDa protein and that higher molecular weight proteins, newly formed in the process of chorion hardening, contained the same epitopes as did the 77–73 and 49 kDa proteins. The results suggest that the changes in chorion proteins of the medaka egg at the time of fertilization can be induced by an enzyme(s) released from the egg cortex into the perivitelline space.     

Protein kinases CKI and CKII are implicated in modification of ribosomal proteins of the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum

Phosphorylation of acidic ribosomal proteins P1/P2-P0 is a common phenomenon in eukaryotic organisms. It was found previously that in Trichosporon cutaneum, unlike in other yeast species, in addition to the two acidic ribosomal proteins, two other proteins of 15 kDa and 19 kDa of the small ribosomal subunit were phosphorylated. Here we describe two protein kinases: CKI and CKII, which are engaged in the modification of T. cutaneum ribosomal proteins. The acidic ribosomal proteins and the protein of 19 kDa were modified by CKII associated with ribosomes, while the protein of 15 kDa was modified by CKI. Protein kinase CKI was purified from cell-free extract (CKIC) and from ribosomal fraction (CKIR). The molecular mass of CKIC was established at 33 kDa while that of CKIR at 35-37 kDa. A protein of 40 kDa copurified with CKIR but not CKIC. Heparin significantly increased 40 kDa protein phosphorylation level by CKIR. Microsequencing analysis revealed the presence of CKI recognition motifs in the N-terminal fragment of the 40 kDa protein.     

In vitro translation of cytoskeletal beaded-chain filament proteins from chicken lens mRNA

The beaded-chain filament is a unique cytoskeletal structure that appears in the elongating fiber cells during the differentiation of lens epithelial cells to form the mature fiber cells. This beaded-chain structure is made up of two proteins of molecular weight 95 kDa and 49 kDa. As a prerequisite for cloning the cDNAs of these proteins, newborn chicken lens total poly(A+) mRNA was translated in vitro, using a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system and [35S]-L-methionine. The labelled translation products were analyzed by one-and two dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. Immunoprobing of the translation products on Western blots using specific polyclonal antibodies identified the above proteins, and demonstrated the presence and expression of specific mRNAs in the neonatal chick lens, that code for the in vitro synthesis of these two cytoskeletal proteins. These mRNAs are low abundant mRNAs as compared to the crystallin mRNAs.     

Characterisation of Zea mays L. plastidial transglutaminase: interactions with thylakoid membrane proteins

Chloroplast transglutaminase (chlTGase) activity is considered to play a significant role in response to a light stimulus and photo‐adaptation of plants, but its precise function in the chloroplast is unclear. The characterisation, at the proteomic level, of the chlTGase interaction with thylakoid proteins and demonstration of its association with photosystem II (PSII) protein complexes was accomplished with experiments using maize thylakoid protein extracts. By means of a specific antibody designed against the C‐terminal sequence of the maize TGase gene product, different chlTGase forms were immunodetected in thylakoid membrane extracts from three different stages of maize chloroplast differentiation. These bands co‐localised with those of lhcb 1, 2 and 3 antenna proteins. The most significant, a 58 kDa form present in mature chloroplasts, was characterised using biochemical and proteomic approaches. Sequential fractionation of thylakoid proteins from light‐induced mature chloroplasts showed that the 58 kDa form was associated with the thylakoid membrane, behaving as a soluble or peripheral membrane protein. Two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis discriminated, for the first time, the 58‐kDa band in two different forms, probably corresponding to the two different TGase cDNAs previously cloned. Electrophoretic separation of thylakoid proteins in native gels, followed by LC‐MS mass spectrometry identification of protein complexes indicated that maize chlTGase forms part of a specific PSII protein complex, which includes LHCII, ATPase and pSbS proteins. The results are discussed in relation to the interaction between these proteins and the suggested role of the enzyme in thylakoid membrane organisation and photoprotection.     

Immunological characterization of microtubule-associated proteins specific for the immature brain

Immunoblotting analysis was used to detect the microtubule-associated proteins present at different stages of rat brain development. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against the two main adult brain microtubule-associated proteins: MAP-2 (300 kDa) and TAU (60-70 kDa). Whatever the stage of development, anti-MAP-2 serum detected high molecular mass proteins and at immature stages a protein of 62 kDa. This protein which has previously been referred to as 'young TAU slow' is, therefore, immunologically related to MAP-2. The anti-TAU serum (but not the anti-MAP-2 serum) detected at immature stages of development a 48 kDa protein which also disappears at adulthood. This 48 kDa entity which has been referred to as 'young TAU fast' is progressively replaced by the closely spaced bands (60-70 kDa) of adult TAU proteins. The 62 and 48 kDa proteins appear therefore to be immunologically distinct and represent two microtubule-associated proteins specific to the immature brain.     

Partial characterization of vitellin and localization of vitellogenin production in the terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare

Vitellins were purified separately from ovaries and eggs of the isopod, Armadillidium vulgare. Ovarian vitellin consisted of at least six proteins with relative molecular masses of 205, 200, 185, 180, 122 and 112 kDa. The larger four proteins disappeared in eggs within a week after oviposition and a 59-kDa protein appeared thereafter. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences of these vitellin proteins were identical except for the ovarian 112 kDa, egg 112 kDa and 59 kDa proteins, and showed considerable similarity to those of known vitellogenins from other animals. Comparison of tryptic peptide maps of the 122 and 112 kDa proteins from eggs on reversed-phase HPLC and sequence identification of two randomly selected peaks having the same retention times indicated that two peptides were mostly similar in sequence. PCR-assisted cloning of the 5' region of a cDNA (591 bp) encoding vitellogenin revealed the presence of a signal peptide consisting of 16 amino acid residues and clarified the structural relationship among the protein components except for the ovarian 112 kDa and the egg 59 kDa proteins. Northern blot analysis revealed that the fat body is the main vitellogenin producing organ.
