Homeostatic mechanisms preventing the toxicity of free Zn ions in cells involve, among others, cytosolic Zn-binding ligands, particularly the cysteine-rich metallothioneins (MTs). Here we examined the Zn-binding peptides of Russula atropurpurea, an ectomycorrhizal fungus known for its ability to accumulate high amounts of Zn in its sporocarps. The Zn complexes and their peptide ligands were characterized using chromatography, electrophoresis after fluorescent labeling of cysteine residues, and t ...[more]

Project description:One of the main Ca2+ decoders in plants are calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs). Among them, AtCPK1 is one of the best studied as a positive regulator in the plant response to biotic and abiotic stress. Inactivation of the autoinhibitory domain of AtCPK1 (the mutated form of AtCPK1-Ca) provides constitutive activity of the kinase via imitation of the stress-induced Ca2+ increase. For the first time in the present study, we performed a proteomic analysis of the overexpressed mutant AtCPK1-Ca form of Arabidopsis thaliana in transformed Vitis amurensis calli. In our previous studies, we have shown that overexpression of this mutated form led to dramatically enhanced specialised metabolism in plant cell cultures, including resveratrol in V. amurensis.

Project description:Expressional alterations and post translational modifications (PTM) of type II collagen can be major cause behind osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. PTM of type II collagen α1 chain (COL2A1) such as hydroxylation of proline (P), lysine and glycosylation of hydroxylysine can act as epitopes resulting COL2A1 as autoantigen in cartilage tissues. Previous study stated proline hydroxylation (Hyp) as an important PTM in type II collagen leading to dysfunctional collagen extracellular matrix assembly in vivo. Here we report for the first time peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) identification and tandem mass spectrometry based mapping of Hyp PTM in COL2A1 from Capra hircus (C. hircus) using Mascot database. As mascot database does not contain C. hircus COL2A1 sequence information, our identification is based on the homologous COL2A1 from Bos taurus and Homo sapience (above 98 % identity). Findings include identification of new triplet Gly-F-Hyp in C. hircus COL2A1 and well known Gly-X-Y triplet with Hyp present in the X position, instead of Y position. PMF data contains lager number of Hyp in COL2A1 from C. hircus consistent with other collagen sequences. This study suggests positional alteration of Hyp/P in Gly-X-Y triplet may be used for molecular identification and characterization of type II collagen from other sources.

Project description:Over the past decade, membrane vesicles, known as exosomes, have garnered significant attention due to their potential as natural nanocarriers. Recently, it was discovered that plants also release extracellular vesicles (EVs). Yet, our understanding of EV production in plant cell culture remains limited. In this study, we used callus culture of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate and comprehensively characterize EVs emanating from cultivated cells. Our findings reveal that the quantity of EVs in calli was significantly lower than in the plant's apoplastic fluid. This discrepancy is linked to the transcriptional repression of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) genes. While salicylic acid elevated the expression of ESCRT components, it did not boost EV production. Remarkably, EVs from calli encompass proteins pivotal for cell wall biogenesis and defense mechanisms, as well as microRNAs consistent with those in intact plants. This indicates that plant cell cultures might be a viable source of EVs reflecting the properties of the parent plant species. Nevertheless, additional research is crucial to pinpoint the optimal conditions for efficient EV production.

Project description:Background: Respiratory allergy triggered by pollen allergens is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Sunflower pollen is thought to be an important source of inhalant allergens. Present study aims to identify the prevalence of sunflower pollinosis among the Indian allergic population and characterizes the pollen allergens using immuno-proteomic tools. Methodology: Clinico-immunological tests were performed to understand the prevalence of sensitivity towards sunflower pollen among the atopic population. Sera from selected sunflower positive patients were used as probe to detect the IgE-reactive proteins from the one and two dimensionally separated proteome of sunflower pollen. The antigenic nature of the sugar moiety of the glycoprotein allergens was studied by meta-periodate modification of IgE-immunoblot. Finally, these allergens were identified by mass-spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF and LC ESI qTOF). MASCOT searching was performed against NCBInr database. However, Helianthus annuus genome is not fully sequenced and partially annotated. So in case of low confidence (p> 0.05) protein identification, searching was performed against EST library of Helianthus annuus. Results: Prevalence of sunflower pollen allergy was observed among 21% of the atopic population and associated with elevated level of specific IgE and histamine in the sera of these patients. Immunoscreening of sunflower pollen proteome with patient serum detected seven IgE-reactive proteins with varying molecular weight and pI. Hierarchical clustering of 2D-immunoblot data highlighted three allergens characterized by a more frequent immuno-reactivity and increased levels of IgE antibodies in the sera of susceptible patients. These allergens were considered as the major allergens of sunflower pollen and were found to have their glycan moiety critical for inducing IgE response. Homology driven search of MS/MS data of these IgE-reactive proteins identified seven previously unreported allergens from sunflower pollen. Three major allergenic proteins were identified as two non-isoformic pectate lyases and a cystein protease. Conclusion: Novelty of the present report is the identification of a panel of seven sunflower pollen allergens for the first time at immuno-biochemical and proteomic level, which substantiated the clinical evidence of sunflower allergy. Further purification and recombinant expression of these allergens will improve component-resolved diagnosis and therapy of pollen allergy.

Project description:Post-translational methylation plays a crucial role in regulating and optimizing protein function. Protein histidine methylation, occurring as the two isomers 1- and 3- methylhistidine (1MH and 3MH), was first reported five decades ago, but remains largely unexplored. Here we report that METTL9 is a broad-specificity methyltransferase (MTase) that mediates the formation of the majority of 1MH present in mouse and human proteomes. The minimal requirement for METTL9-catalyzed methylation is a His-x-His (HxH) motif, where "x" is preferably a small amino acid, allowing METTL9 to methylate a number of HxH-containing proteins. Here, we show that the immunomodulatory protein S100A9 and the NDUFB3 subunit of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I are methylated at HxH motif using MALDI-TOF MS.

Project description:Aspergillus terreus has been described as an allergenic fungus in addition to causing infection to both human beings and plants. However, the allergens in this fungus are still unknown. The identification of allergens is essential to develop diagnostic and therapeutic avenues. Employing a proteomic approach, sixteen allergens were identified based on two-dimensional immuno-blotting with A. terreus susceptible patient sera. Amongst them, triosephosphate isomerase (Asp t 36), one of the dominant immunoglobulin E (IgE)-reactive proteins, was purified under native conditions. To characterize Asp t 36, the gene was cloned and expressed in E. coli. Phylogenetic analysis showed it to be highly conserved with close similarity to Dermatophagoides farinae. Four immuno-dominant epitopes were identified using synthetic peptides and mapped on the tertiary structure of Asp t 36. Among these, two were found to create a continuous surface patch on the 3D structure rendering it to be an IgE binding hotspot. Asp t 36 showed similar secondary structure and temperature sensitivity with other reported triosephosphate isomerase allergens. In-vivo studies using the murine model demonstrated rAsp t 36 able to stimulate airway inflammation, such as an influx of eosinophils, goblet cell hyperplasia, elevated serum immunoglobulins and induction of Th2 cytokines. Collectively, our results reveal the immunogenic property of Asp t 36, a major allergen from A. terreus for the first time in any fungi. This allergen could serve as a potent candidate for investigating component resolved diagnosis and immunotherapy.

Project description:During Agrobacterium rhizogenes–plant interaction, the rolB gene is transferred into the plant genome and is stably inherited in the plant’s offspring. Among the numerous effects of rolB on plant metabolism, including the activation of secondary metabolism, its effect on plant defense systems has not been sufficiently studied. Here, we performed a proteomic analysis of rolB-expressing Arabidopsis plants with a particular focus on defense proteins. In rolB plants, a reduced amount of scaffold proteins RACK1A, RACK1B, and RACK1C, known as receptors for activated C-kinase 1, was found. Proteomic analysis showed that rolB could potentially suppress the plant immune system by suppressing the RNA-binding proteins GRP7, CP29B, and CP31B, similar to the action of type III bacterial effectors. At the same time, rolB plants induce massive biosynthesis of protective proteins VSP1, VSP2, and PR4, which are markers of the activated jasmonate pathway. Moreover, rolB plants activate all components of the PYK10 defense complex of the endoplasmic reticulum involved in the metabolism of glucosinolates. We hypothesized that various defense systems activated by rolB are aimed at protecting the host plant from competing phytopathogens in order to create an effective ecological niche for A. rhizogenes. A RolB → RACK1A signaling module has been proposed that can exert most of the rolB-mediated effects on plant physiology and biochemistry.
