Extracting histones from cells is the first step in studies that aim to characterize histones and their post‐translational modifications (hPTMs) with MS. In the last decade, label‐free quantification is more frequently being used for MS‐based histone characterization. However, many histone extraction protocols were not specifically designed for label‐free MS. While label‐free quantification has its advantages, it is also very susceptible to technical variation. Here, we adjust an established histone extraction protocol according to general label‐free MS guidelines with a specific focus on minimizing sample handling. These protocols are first evaluated using SDS‐PAGE. Hereafter, a selection of extraction protocols was used in a complete histone workflow for label‐free MS. All protocols display nearly identical relative quantification of hPTMs. We thus show that, depending on the cell type under investigation and at the cost of some additional contaminating proteins, minimizing sample handling can be done during histone isolation. This allows analyzing bigger sample batches, leads to reduced technical variation and minimizes the chance of in vitro alterations to the hPTM snapshot. Overall, these results allow researchers to determine the best protocol depending on the resources and goal of their specific study.

Sample complexity and dynamic range constitute enormous challenges in proteome analysis. The back-end technology in typical proteomics platforms, namely mass spectrometry (MS), can only tolerate a certain complexity, has a limited dynamic range per spectrum and is very sensitive towards ion suppression. Therefore, component overlap has to be minimized for successful mass spectrometric analysis and subsequent protein identification and quantification. The present review describes the advances that have been made in liquid-based separation techniques with focus on the recent developments to boost the resolving power. The review is divided in two parts; the first part deals with unidimensional liquid chromatography and the second part with bi- and multidimensional liquid-based separation techniques. Part 1 mainly focuses on reversed-phase HPLC due to the fact that it is and will, in the near future, remain the technique of choice to be hyphenated with MS. The impact of increasing the column length, decreasing the particle diameter, replacing the traditional packed beds by monolithics, amongst others, is described. The review is complemented with data obtained in the laboratories of the authors. 相似文献

Citrullination is a posttranslational modification of arginine. It plays both a physiological role, for instance during apoptosis and epigenetics, and a pathological role in cancer or diseases of the central nervous system. Most research on citrullination to date focuses on its role in auto-immune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In this context, the exact knowledge of citrullination sites in a protein can provide invaluable information about the etiological importance of these citrullinated proteins. However, few techniques exist that can accurately detect citrullination on the peptide level. This review aims to give an overview of the different methods available to date for the detection of citrullinated proteins and peptides. These include 2D-SDS-PAGE and immunodetection, as well as specific mass spectrometry (MS) approaches, both labeled and unlabeled. These MS approaches have been developed to pinpoint the exact location of citrullination on the peptide level. Improving the currently existing detection strategies while focusing on the role of citrullinated proteins will be invaluable to elucidate the importance of this posttranslational modification in vivo. 相似文献

Rockshelter Baaz in the Damascus region of Syria provided a variety of botanical remains from the Late Pleistocene and Early
Holocene period. These remains provide new information about the vegetation evolution in this region. The earliest occupational
levels correspond with a moisture peak during the Late Pleistocene, between ca. 34–32 kyr b.p., when pine expanded. The next occupations took place during extreme arid conditions, ca. 23–21 kyr b.p., and probably during the Last Glacial Maximum when a steppe vegetation was established. The occupation level of the Younger
Dryas, represented by Natufian remains, suggests that the area had been covered by almond-pistachio steppe, similar to later
periods of the Early Holocene, and was probably located just outside the range of dense wild cereal stands. There is no drastic
impact of the Younger Dryas visible on the vegetation in the botanical remains. The lack of fruits and seeds at Baaz indicates
that the site was more likely to have been a temporary hunting post rather than a plant processing site for much of its history.
It is ideally suited to this purpose because of its location over the Jaba′deen Pass and the associated springs. However,
archaeological remains from the Natufian period, suggest that the site was more permanently occupied during this time.

We conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate the influence of Daphnia infochemicals on growth rate, microcystin production, colony formation and cell size of eight Microcystis strains isolated from two lakes. The strains were characterized genetically by their 16S-23S rDNA ITS sequence. The experiment
was composed of four treatments: (1) a control using filtered WC medium, (2) addition of Scenedesmus obliquus culture medium filtrate, (3) addition of Daphnia magna culture medium filtrate and (4) addition of sodium octyl sulphate, a commercially available Daphnia infochemical. Our results showed that sympatric strains differed strongly for the measured functional traits, while no correlations
between traits were found. Between-strain differences in growth rate, microcystin production, colony formation and cell size
were generally larger than the differences in phenotypes observed between treatments. Despite this, several strains reacted
to the infochemicals by changing functional trait values. Daphnia culture medium filtrate and, to a lesser extent, sodium octyl sulphate had a negative influence on the growth rate of half
of the strains and stimulated microcystin production in one strain, but the latter effect was not Daphnia-specific as Scenedesmus culture medium filtrate had the same effect. Daphnia culture medium filtrate also induced colony formation in one strain. Our data suggest that Daphnia infochemicals generally have a weak influence on growth rate, microcystin production and colony formation of Microcystis strains as compared to the inter-strain variability, while existing inducible effects are highly strain-specific. 相似文献
