Abscisic Acid Refines the Synthesis of Chloroplast Proteins in Maize (Zea mays) in Response to Drought and Light

To better understand abscisic acid (ABA) regulation of the synthesis of chloroplast proteins in maize (Zea mays L.) in response to drought and light, we compared leaf proteome differences between maize ABA-deficient mutant vp5 and corresponding wild-type Vp5 green and etiolated seedlings exposed to drought stress. Proteins extracted from the leaves of Vp5 and vp5 seedlings were used for two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and subsequent matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). After Coomassie brilliant blue staining, approximately 450 protein spots were reproducibly detected on 2-DE gels. A total of 36 differentially expressed protein spots in response to drought and light were identified using MALDI-TOF MS and their subcellular localization was determined based on the annotation of reviewed accession in UniProt Knowledgebase and the software prediction. As a result, corresponding 13 proteins of the 24 differentially expressed protein spots were definitely localized in chloroplasts and their expression was in an ABA-dependent way, including 6 up-regulated by both drought and light, 5 up-regulated by drought but down-regulated by light, 5 up-regulated by light but down-regulated by drought; 5 proteins down-regulated by drought were mainly those involved in photosynthesis and ATP synthesis. Thus, the results in the present study supported the vital role of ABA in regulating the synthesis of drought- and/or light-induced proteins in maize chloroplasts and would facilitate the functional characterization of ABA-induced chloroplast proteins in C₄ plants.

Chryseobacterium miricola sp. nov., a novel species isolated from condensation water of space station Mir

Classification of strain W3-B1, which was isolated from condensation water in the Russian space laboratory Mir, was investigated by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of strain W3-B1 were nonmotile, asporogenous, gram-negative slender rods with rounded ends. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that organism should be placed in the genus Chryseobacterium. This organism contains menaquinone MK-6 as the predominent isoprenoid quinone and 3-OH iso 17:0 (40%), iso 15:0 (33%) as the major fatty acids. Phylogenetically, the nearest relative of strain W3-B1 is Chryseobacterium meningosepticum with sequence similarity of 98.4%, but DNA-DNA hybridization resulted in similarity values of only 52.3%. The G+C mol% is 34.6 mol%. Based upon results obtained by morphological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic, and molecular methods, strain W3-B1 was clearly distinguishable from other Chryseobacterium species. For these reasons, a novel species of family Flavobacteriaceae is proposed; strain W3-B1(T) (= GTC 862(T) = JCM 11413(T) = DSM 14571(T)) is the type strain.     

Identification of metastasis-associated proteins by proteomic analysis and functional exploration of interleukin-18 in metastasis

Very little is currently known about mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis. In the present study, metastasis-associated proteomes were separated and identified by comparative proteomic analysis, and the metastasis-related function of candidate protein interleukin-18 (IL-18) was further elucidated. First, a pair of highly and poorly metastatic sublines (termed PLA801D and PLA801C, respectively), originating from the same parental PLA801 cell line, was identified by spontaneous tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo and characterized by metastatic phenotypes analysis in vitro. Subsequently, a proteomic approach was used to compare the protein expression profiles between PLA801C and PLA801D sublines. Eleven proteins were identified and further verified by one-dimensional Western blotting, Northern blot and/or semiquantitative reverse transciptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. Compared with those in poorly metastatic PLA801C subline, cytokeratin 18, tissue transglutaminase, Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 1, tropomyosin, fibroblast type, IL-18 and annexin I were significantly up-regulated, while protein disulfide isomerase, heat shock protein 60, peroxiredoxin 1, chlorine intracellular channel protein 1 (CLI1) and creatine kinase, B chain were significantly down-regulated in the highly metastatic PLA801D subline. Intriguingly, all the identified candidate proteins except for CLI1 have been shown to be somehow associated with distinct aspects of tumor metastasis such as cell growth, motility, invasion, adhesion, apoptosis and tumor immunity, etc. Considering that IL-18 was present in highly metastatic PLA801D but absent in poorly metastatic PLA801C, the association of IL-18 with metastasis was further elucidated by introducing IL-18 sense/IL-18 antisense into PLA801C/PLA801D sublines simultaneously. The results demonstrated that ectopically expressed IL-18 promoted cell motility in vitro and down-regulated E-cadherin expression of PLA801C transfectants, while IL-18 antisense remarkably decreased cell invasion potency in vitro and notably increased E-cadherin expression of PLA801D transfectants, indicating that IL-18 might play a role in metastasis by inhibiting E-cadherin expression.

The Orphan Seven-Transmembrane Receptor Apj Supports the Entry of Primary T-Cell-Line-Tropic and Dualtropic Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters target cells by sequential binding to CD4 and specific seven-transmembrane-segment (7TMS) coreceptors. Viruses use the chemokine receptor CCR5 as a coreceptor in the early, asymptomatic stages of HIV-1 infection but can adapt to the use of other receptors such as CXCR4 and CCR3 as the infection proceeds. Here we identify one such coreceptor, Apj, which supported the efficient entry of several primary T-cell-line tropic (T-tropic) and dualtropic HIV-1 isolates and the simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac316. Another 7TMS protein, CCR9, supported the less efficient entry of one primary T-tropic isolate. mRNAs for both receptors were present in phytohemagglutinin- and interleukin-2-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Apj and CCR9 share with other coreceptors for HIV-1 and SIV an N-terminal region rich in aromatic and acidic residues. These results highlight properties common to 7TMS proteins that can function as HIV-1 coreceptors, and they may contribute to an understanding of viral evolution in infected individuals.
