We have analyzed proteome dynamics during light-induced development of rice (Oryza sativa) chloroplasts from etioplasts using quantitative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry protein identification. In the dark, the etioplast allocates the main proportion of total protein mass to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism and a surprisingly high number of proteins to the regulation and expression of plastid genes. Chaperones, proteins for photosynthetic energy metabolism, and enzymes of the tetrapyrrole pathway were identified among the most abundant etioplast proteins. The detection of 13 N-terminal acetylated peptides allowed us to map the exact localization of the transit peptide cleavage site, demonstrating good agreement with the prediction for most proteins. Based on the quantitative etioplast proteome map, we examined early light-induced changes during chloroplast development. The transition from heterotrophic metabolism to photosynthesis-supported autotrophic metabolism was already detectable 2 h after illumination and affected most essential metabolic modules. Enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis, and gene expression were up-regulated, whereas enzymes in amino acid and fatty acid metabolism were significantly decreased in relative abundance. Enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism, tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, and redox regulation remained unchanged. Phosphoprotein-specific staining at different time points during chloroplast development revealed light-induced phosphorylation of a nuclear-encoded plastid RNA-binding protein, consistent with changes in plastid RNA metabolism. Quantitative information about all identified proteins and their regulation by light is available in plprot, the plastid proteome database (http://www.plprot.ethz.ch).  相似文献

Day length is an important environmental factor affecting the growth and development of maize (Zea mays), a short day (SD) plant grown in different latitudes. Leaf has been recognized as the light perceiving and signal producing organ. Under long day (LD) conditions, photoperiod-sensitive induction phase in maize begins at the fourth fully expanded leaf stage. However, the changes of maize leaf proteome in response to LD are largely unknown. To reveal maize proteome response to LD, proteins extracted from newly expanded fifth, sixth and seventh leaves from maize inbred line 496-10 (photoperiod sensitive) and Huangzao4 (HZ4, photoperiod insensitive) under LD treatments were compared via gel-based proteomic approach. As a result, eleven differentially expressed proteins were identified between 496-10 and HZ4 by mass spectrometry. This difference in protein accumulation was highly reproducible during the fifth to seventh leaf stages and most obvious at the seventh leaf stage. The identified proteins are mainly involved in circadian clock or iron metabolism, light harvesting and photosynthesis, nucleic acid metabolism and carbon fixation or energy metabolism. This study provides new insight into the influences of LD treatment on SD plants, such as maize, at proteome level.  相似文献

Phalaenopsis, an epiphytic crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant, requires moderate variations of day/night temperatures for flowering. In this study, changes in chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, sugar components, titratable acidity and soluble protein content in Phalaenopsis leaves during flowering were observed. Comparative proteomic analysis of Phalaenopsis leaves in the vegetative and flowering phase was performed for the first time using iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification). A total of 126 proteins were differentially expressed in Phalaenopsis leaves. Analysis of potential functions revealed that the major categories of predicted function of the up-regulated proteins were protein destination (27 %), photosynthesis (15.9 %), primary metabolism (14.3 %) and defense (12.7 %) in the flowering phase, while the major categories of predicted function of the down-regulated proteins were protein destination (33.3 %), primary metabolism (20.6 %), transportation (14.3 %) and signal transduction (11.1 %). Proteome profile analysis indicated that the proteome changes were consistent with changes in sugar and protein metabolites. Some novel proteins were differentially expressed, most of which were identified as signaling proteins, including 14-3-3 proteins, fibrillin, rapid alkalinization factors (RALF), the Ras-related protein RABB1c, calreticulin and calmodulin. Histone, importin alpha, multidrug resistance proteins and the ABC transporters were also differentially expressed. These results provide insights into the mechanisms that regulate flowering in complex flowering plants.  相似文献

Total protein extract of Bradyrhizobium japonicum cultivated in HM media were resolved by 2-D PAGE using narrow range IPG strips. More than 1200 proteins were detected, of which nearly 500 proteins were analysed by MALDI-TOF and 310 spots were tentatively identified. The present study describes at the proteome level a significant number of metabolic pathways related to important cellular events in free-living B. japonicum. A comparative analysis of proteomes of free-living and nodule residing bacteria revealed major differences and similarities between the two states. Proteins related to fatty acid, nucleic acid and cell surface synthesis were significantly higher in cultured cells. Nitrogen metabolism was more pronounced in bacteroids whereas carbon metabolism was similar in both states. Relative percentage of proteins related to global functions like protein synthesis, maturation & degradation and membrane transporters were similar in both forms, however, different proteins provided these functions in the two states.  相似文献

Peroxisomes play key roles in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and plant development. A better understanding of these important functions will be achieved with a more complete definition of the peroxisome proteome. The isolation of peroxisomes and their separation from mitochondria and other major membrane systems have been significant challenges in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) model system. In this study, we present new data on the Arabidopsis peroxisome proteome obtained using two new technical advances that have not previously been applied to studies of plant peroxisomes. First, we followed density gradient centrifugation with free-flow electrophoresis to improve the separation of peroxisomes from mitochondria. Second, we used quantitative proteomics to identify proteins enriched in the peroxisome fractions relative to mitochondrial fractions. We provide evidence for peroxisomal localization of 89 proteins, 36 of which have not previously been identified in other analyses of Arabidopsis peroxisomes. Chimeric green fluorescent protein constructs of 35 proteins have been used to confirm their localization in peroxisomes or to identify endoplasmic reticulum contaminants. The distribution of many of these peroxisomal proteins between soluble, membrane-associated, and integral membrane locations has also been determined. This core peroxisomal proteome from nonphotosynthetic cultured cells contains a proportion of proteins that cannot be predicted to be peroxisomal due to the lack of recognizable peroxisomal targeting sequence 1 (PTS1) or PTS2 signals. Proteins identified are likely to be components in peroxisome biogenesis, beta-oxidation for fatty acid degradation and hormone biosynthesis, photorespiration, and metabolite transport. A considerable number of the proteins found in peroxisomes have no known function, and potential roles of these proteins in peroxisomal metabolism are discussed. This is aided by a metabolic network analysis that reveals a tight integration of functions and highlights specific metabolite nodes that most probably represent entry and exit metabolites that could require transport across the peroxisomal membrane.  相似文献

From individual localization and large‐scale proteomic studies, we know that stroma‐exposed thylakoid membranes harbor part of the machinery performing the light‐dependent photosynthetic reactions. The minor components of the stroma thylakoid proteome, regulating and maintaining the photosynthetic machinery, are in the process of being unraveled. In this study, we developed in‐solution and in‐gel proteolytic digestion methods, and used them to identify minor membrane proteins, e.g. transporters, in stroma thylakoids prepared from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh Columbia‐0 leaves. In‐solution digestion with chymotrypsin yielded the largest number of peptides, but in combination with methanol extraction resulted in identification of the largest number of membrane proteins. Although less efficient in extracting peptides, in‐gel digestion with trypsin and chymotrypsin led to identification of additional proteins. We identified a total of 58 proteins including 44 membrane proteins. Almost half are known thylakoid proteins with roles in photosynthetic light reactions, proteolysis and import. The other half, including many transporters, are not known as chloroplast proteins, because they have been either curated (manually assigned) to other cellular compartments or not curated at all at the plastid protein databases. Transporters include ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) proteins, transporters for K+ and other cations. Other proteins either have a role in processes probably linked to photosynthesis, namely translation, metabolism, stress and signaling or are contaminants. Our results indicate that all these proteins are present in stroma thylakoids; however, individual studies are required to validate their location and putative roles. This study also provides strategies complementary to traditional methods for identification of membrane proteins from other cellular compartments.  相似文献

Abstract

Calcium is an important macronutrient for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It acts as an important second messenger mediating rapid response to environmental conditions. The present investigation deals with proteome profiling of Anabaena 7120 and its derivative ntcA mutant in response to varied calcium doses (0, 1 and 10?mM CaCl2). Concentration of 1?mM CaCl2 salt was the optimum concentration whereas 10?mM CaCl2 was the inhibitory concentration for both the wild type and mutant strains. The results showed highly significant alteration in terms of protein abundance and differential response related to key processes of photosynthesis, energy and metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, oxidative and antioxidative defence, transport and signalling and fatty acid metabolism. In the wild type proteins related to photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism showed upregulation at 1?mM CaCl2 concentration while antioxidative defence related proteins were down-regulated. In the mutant however, proteins related to photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism exhibited severe down-regulation. Some hypothetical proteins were also realized during proteome analysis. Overall, our results suggested that NtcA have a potential role in regulation of calcium ion dependent key processes underlying in various metabolic activities of the cyanobacterium Anabaena 7120.  相似文献

We analyzed the proteome of undifferentiated plastids from a tobacco BY-2 cell culture by shotgun proteomics following multidimensional protein fractionation. The fractionation strategy initiated with the serial extraction of proteins from membranes which allowed us to distinguish soluble, peripheral, and integral membrane proteins. The majority of the identified proteins have a function in the cellular metabolism and most of them are active in amino acid synthesis pathways. A significant number of the identified proteins was not identified in chloroplast proteome analyses before. This suggests BY-2 plastid specific functions that differ from the major activities of chloroplasts. We have used the BY-2 plastid proteins reported here to assess the metabolic activities of undifferentiated heterotrophic plastids and compared the functional profile with that of differentiated heterotrophic amyloplasts. Comparative shotgun proteome analyses as reported here provide information about prevalent metabolic activities of different plastid types.  相似文献

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is one of the most studied microorganisms in photosynthesis research and for biofuel production. A detailed understanding of the dynamic regulation of its carbon metabolism is therefore crucial for metabolic engineering. Post-translational modifications can act as molecular switches for the control of protein function. Acetylation of the ?-amino group of lysine residues is a dynamic modification on proteins across organisms from all kingdoms. Here, we performed mass spectrometry-based profiling of proteome and lysine acetylome dynamics in Chlamydomonas under varying growth conditions. Chlamydomonas liquid cultures were transferred from mixotrophic (light and acetate as carbon source) to heterotrophic (dark and acetate) or photoautotrophic (light only) growth conditions for 30 h before harvest. In total, 5863 protein groups and 1376 lysine acetylation sites were identified with a false discovery rate of <1%. As a major result of this study, our data show that dynamic changes in the abundance of lysine acetylation on various enzymes involved in photosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and the glyoxylate cycle are dependent on acetate and light. Exemplary determination of acetylation site stoichiometries revealed particularly high occupancy levels on K175 of the large subunit of RuBisCO and K99 and K340 of peroxisomal citrate synthase under heterotrophic conditions. The lysine acetylation stoichiometries correlated with increased activities of cellular citrate synthase and the known inactivation of the Calvin–Benson cycle under heterotrophic conditions. In conclusion, the newly identified dynamic lysine acetylation sites may be of great value for genetic engineering of metabolic pathways in Chlamydomonas.  相似文献

烟草叶片衰老期过程中的蛋白质组学分析   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
大田烟叶生产过程中因打顶打叉的处理,改变了烟叶正常的衰老模式。为研究这一特殊的衰老机制,我们自旺长期开始,对‘云烟87’不同发育阶段烟株的中部叶片,进行形态观测、生理生化分析及蛋白质组学检测。结果显示:随着烟叶的逐渐成熟和衰老,烟草的叶色逐渐变黄,叶片逐渐变短、变窄,厚度减少;解剖结构清晰看到栅栏组织和海绵组织从最初的整齐排列到逐渐排列紊乱,组织细胞间轮廓不明显,细胞间隙明显增大;亚显微观测表明,淀粉粒在叶绿体中逐渐积累,类囊体片层结构被挤散,叶绿体膜被撑破。生理与生化分析表明衰老过程伴随着光合作用速率下降,光合色素降解加速,呼吸代谢的增加,这可能与衰老叶片中叶绿体逐渐崩塌和细胞膜透性增加相一致。iTRAQ标记方法共检测到不同发育阶段432个差异表达蛋白质,其中注释到308个与多种生命过程相关。蛋白差异富集分析表明,烟草叶片衰老过程中与光合作用等合成代谢相关蛋白多下调表达,而逆境反应及呼吸作用等分解代谢相关蛋白多上调表达。  相似文献

We report an extensive proteome analysis of rice etioplasts, which were highly purified from dark-grown leaves by a novel protocol using Nycodenz density gradient centrifugation. Comparative protein profiling of different cell compartments from leaf tissue demonstrated the purity of the etioplast preparation by the absence of diagnostic marker proteins of other cell compartments. Systematic analysis of the etioplast proteome identified 240 unique proteins that provide new insights into heterotrophic plant metabolism and control of gene expression. They include several new proteins that were not previously known to localize to plastids. The etioplast proteins were compared with proteomes from Arabidopsis chloroplasts and plastid from tobacco Bright Yellow 2 cells. Together with computational structure analyses of proteins without functional annotations, this comparative proteome analysis revealed novel etioplast-specific proteins. These include components of the plastid gene expression machinery such as two RNA helicases, an RNase II-like hydrolytic exonuclease, and a site 2 protease-like metalloprotease all of which were not known previously to localize to the plastid and are indicative for so far unknown regulatory mechanisms of plastid gene expression. All etioplast protein identifications and related data were integrated into a data base that is freely available upon request.  相似文献

Using a combined quantitative proteomic and bioinformatic approach, we monitored the cytoplasmic proteome profile of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis during a fermentation process in complex medium. Proteome signatures were applied to elucidate the physiological changes occurring in the gene expression profile during growth. Furthermore, we determined the significance level of quantitative proteome changes, identified relative to the threshold of scatter in replicated samples and developed a statistically rigorous method that allowed us to determine significant fold-changes at 95% confidence between different proteomes. Different functional groups of proteins were clustered according to their pattern of significant expression changes. The largest group is induced by the exhaustion of glucose and the presence of alternative carbon and nitrogen sources. Furthermore, depletion of glucose caused the induction of the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes and the downregulation of glycolytic enzymes. The onset of the transition phase may be provoked by amino acid starvation, resulting in the RelA-dependent repression of proteins involved in the translation process and in the induction of amino acid biosynthetic pathways. Comparisons between the parental strain and two subtilisin-hypersecreting strains revealed only small cytoplasmic differences in the main metabolic pathways. Instead, the overproduction of degradative enzymes in both of these mutants was reflected in the extracellular proteome.  相似文献

Transport of long-chain fatty acids across the cell membrane has long been thought to occur by passive diffusion. However, in recent years there has been a fundamental shift in understanding, and it is now generally recognized that fatty acids cross the cell membrane via a protein-mediated mechanism. Membrane-associated fatty acid-binding proteins (‘fatty acid transporters’) not only facilitate but also regulate cellular fatty acid uptake, for instance through their inducible rapid (and reversible) translocation from intracellular storage pools to the cell membrane. A number of fatty acid transporters have been identified, including CD36, plasma membrane-associated fatty acid-binding protein (FABPpm), and a family of fatty acid transport proteins (FATP1–6). Fatty acid transporters are also implicated in metabolic disease, such as insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes. In this report we briefly review current understanding of the mechanism of transmembrane fatty acid transport, and the function of fatty acid transporters in healthy cardiac and skeletal muscle, and in insulin resistance/type-2 diabetes. Fatty acid transporters hold promise as a future target to rectify lipid fluxes in the body and regain metabolic homeostasis.  相似文献
