Project description:we applied metaproteomic approach to capture proteins from three size-fractionated microbial communities at the DCM in the basin of the South China Sea. The deep recovery of proteomes from a marine DCM plankton assemblage provides the highest resolution of metabolic activities as well as microbial niche differentiation, revealing a spectrum of biological processes carrying out by microbes at DCM of the SCS.
Project description:Analysis of U251 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells treated with a new culcita novaeguineae asterosaponion, CN-3. A new asterosaponin was isolated from culcita novaeguineae, an abundant marine resource in the south China sea. The asterosaponin induced significant growth inhibition with a 50% inhibitory concentration at 48 h of 2.013 μg/mL in U251MG cells. 1.8μg/mL of the asterosaponin reduced U251 MG cells viability from 100 % to 42.5% (24 h), 37.4% (48 h) and 52.1% (72 h). In this study, a microarray analysis was performed using RNA prepared from U251MG GBM cells treated with the asterosaponion. These data revealed that 661 genes had significant differential expressions.

Project description:Marine viral concentrates (VCs) contains a substantial amount of non-cellular biological particles, e.g. viruses, gene transfer agents (GTAs) and membrane vesicles that are ecological significant. Metagenomic sequencing of VCs has been extensively applied to study the diversity and function potential of natural virions whereas information of nonn-viral components are often excluded for investigation. Here we apply a shotgun proteomic approach to characterize the origin and function of proteins in the VCs collected from the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) of the South China Sea. Using a custom database, we identified 636 non-redundant proteins represented by a total of 7220 spectra from the two VC samples. Cyanophages, pelagiphages, Phycodnaviridae and a group of uncultured viruses (previouly collected from DCM of Mediterranean Sea) contributed the most in the viral proteome. Seldom proteins related to RNA viruses and known GTAs were found despites of the presence of their sequences in the protein-searching database, suggested that these particles might be low abundant in the samples. Over 60% of identified spectra could not be assigned to viruses. The non-viral spectra were dominated by microbial groups of SAR324, SAR11, Actinobacteria and picoeukaryotic algae such as prasinophytes.Interestingly, we found that periplasmic proteins such as diverse ABC and TRAP transporters, and 56 kDa selenium-binding proteins, were enriched in this fraction.Together with other detected non-viral proteins,we could identify significant microbial functions, such as the utilization of glycine betaine, 3-dimethylsulphoniopropionate,and taurine by SAR11,and urea by prochlorococcus, nitrous oxide production by ammonia-oxidizing archaea and peroxide detoxification by unkonwn gammaproteobacteria. Our study of marine VCs demonstrates the potential application of metaproteomics to link the nano-size materials to the diversity of virions and interesting microbial functions in the ocean.
