Bioinformatics analysis of structures and ligand-bindings of predicted zymogen granule protein observed on Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) saliva.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previously, we have shown that predicted zymogen granule protein 16 homolog B (P-G3MZ19) existed in Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) saliva. It was suggested that P-G3MZ19 is a member of the mannose-binding lectin family that plays an essential role in innate immunity. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the structure and ligand-binding of P-3MZ19 in Bali cattle saliva.

Materials and methods

Saliva of four adult healthy Bali cattle was collected, lyophilized, and subjected to two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The target spot of around 17 kDa related to P-G3MZ19 was excised for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer/time-of-flight mass spectrometer mass spectrometry analysis and sequencing. The structure and the ligand-binding of P-3MZ19 were analyzed using bioinformatics software programs published elsewhere.

Results

Based on Iterative Threading ASSEmbly Refinement the 3D model of P-G3MZ19 was suggested to have similarities to exo-alpha-sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18); while its ligand-binding sites consisted of seven residues, i.e., 25aa-26aa (Gly-Gly), 95aa (Phe), 138aa (Tyr), 140aa (Leu), 141aa (Gly), and 143aa (Thr).

Conclusion

The structure of P-G3MZ19 of Bali cattle saliva and its ligand-binding sites have been successfully determined by using bioinformatics techniques. The biological and immunological roles of the peptide are currently under investigation based on P-G3MZ19 synthetic peptides.

Project description:The zymogen granule is the specialized organelle in pancreatic acinar cells for digestive enzyme storage and regulated secretion and is a classic model for studying secretory granule function. Our long term goal is to develop a comprehensive architectural model for zymogen granule membrane (ZGM) proteins that would direct new hypotheses for subsequent functional studies. Our initial proteomics analysis focused on identification of proteins from purified ZGM (Chen, X., Walker, A. K., Strahler, J. R., Simon, E. S., Tomanicek-Volk, S. L., Nelson, B. B., Hurley, M. C., Ernst, S. A., Williams, J. A., and Andrews, P. C. (2006) Organellar proteomics: analysis of pancreatic zymogen granule membranes. Mol. Cell. Proteomics 5, 306-312). In the current study, a new global topology analysis of ZGM proteins is described that applies isotope enrichment methods to a protease protection protocol. Our results showed that tryptic peptides of ZGM proteins were separated into two distinct clusters according to their isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) ratios for proteinase K-treated versus control zymogen granules. The low iTRAQ ratio cluster included cytoplasm-orientated membrane and membrane-associated proteins including myosin V, vesicle-associated membrane proteins, syntaxins, and all the Rab proteins. The second cluster having unchanged ratios included predominantly luminal proteins. Because quantification is at the peptide level, this technique is also capable of mapping both cytoplasm- and lumen-orientated domains from the same transmembrane protein. To more accurately assign the topology, we developed a statistical mixture model to provide probabilities for identified peptides to be cytoplasmic or luminal based on their iTRAQ ratios. By implementing this approach to global topology analysis of ZGM proteins, we report here an experimentally constrained, comprehensive topology model of identified zymogen granule membrane proteins. This model contributes to a firm foundation for developing a higher order architecture model of the ZGM and for future functional studies of individual ZGM proteins.
