Extinct Bison Latifrons Proteomics

ABSTRACT: Bone samples from several vertebrates were collected from the Ziegler Reservoir fossil site, in Snowmass Village, Colorado and processed for proteomics analysis. The specimens come from Pleistocene megafauna, Bison latifrons, dating back to 110 or 120 ka. Proteomics analysis using a simplified sample preparation procedure and tandem mass spectrometry (MS) was applied to obtain protein identifications. Several bioinformatics resources were used to obtain peptide identifications based on sequence homology to extant species with annotated genomes. With the exception of soil sample controls, all samples resulted in confident peptide identifications that mapped to collagen I. In addition, we analyzed a specimen from the extinct Bison latifrons that yielded peptide identifications mapping to over 33 bovine proteins. Our analysis resulted in extensive fibrillar collagen sequence coverage, including the identification of post-translational modifications. Hydroxylysine glucosylgalactosylation, a modification thought to be involved in collagen fiber formation and bone mineralization, was identified. Meta-analyses of data from other studies indicates that this modification may be enriched in well-preserved prehistoric samples. Additional peptide sequences from extracellular matrix (ECM) and non-ECM proteins have also been identified. These data provide a framework for analyzing ancient protein signatures in well-preserved fossil specimens, while also contributing novel insights into the molecular basis of organic matter preservation.

Bone samples from several vertebrates were collected from the Ziegler Reservoir fossil site, in Snowmass Village, Colorado, and processed for proteomics analysis. The specimens come from Pleistocene megafauna Bison latifrons, dating back ∼ 120,000 years.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from immune mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells. However, clinical and immunologic phenotypes of T1DM are variable. Several auto-antibodies including GADA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A, were identified in T1DM, but the prevalence of these auto-antibodies varied for a broad spectrum of T1DM. Here, we systemically profiled auto-antibodies from serum samples of 16 T1DM, 16 type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients, and 27 healthy controls with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) using protein microarrays containing 9,480 proteins. Among 9,480 different proteins on the array, we identified novel auto-antibody candidates (EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb) by M-test coupled with PLS-DA. These auto-antibodies were highly present in T1DM than controls and detected in 40% of T1DM without GADA. Furthermore, these auto-antibodies might help to differentiate subtype of T1DM when combined with GADA. These novel auto-antibodies provide new diagnostic information of T1DM, as well as new insights into the pathogenesis of T1DM. Auto-antibodies from serum samples were profiled using a high-density, fluorescence-based protein microarray containing duplicate spots of 9,480 human proteins derived from the Ultimate ORF collection The cohort of patients and controls consisted of 16 T1DM, 16 T2DM patients, and 27 healthy controls with NGT. This cohort was used to screen candidate auto-antibodies using protein microarrays (ProtoArray platform version 5.0, Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA). Serum samples were drawn from T1DM patients who have 1) fasting C-peptide level <0.3 nmol/L or serum C-peptide <0.6 nmol/L after glucagon loading, 2) initiation of insulin treatment within six months after diagnosis, and 3) duration of diabetes M-bM-^IM-$12 months. Mean age of T1DM in the first cohort was 42 M-BM-1 16 years. The control serum samples were obtained from T2DM patients who were treated only with oral anti-diabetic drug at least 5 years and from NGTs who had no history of diabetes, no first-degree relatives with diabetes, a fasting plasma glucose concentration of <6.1 mmol/l, and a HbA1c value of <5.8%.
