Eucalyptus species are the most widely hardwood planted in the world. It is one of the successful examples of commercial forestry plantation in Brazil and other tropical and subtropical countries. The tree is valued for its rapid growth, adaptability and wood quality. Wood formation is the result of cumulative annual activity of the vascular cambium. This cambial activity is generally related to the alternation of cold and warm, and/or dry and rainy seasons. Efforts have focused on analysis of c ...[more]

Project description:Triticale was used as a model to recognize new components of molecular mechanism of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereals. Fusarium-damaged kernels of two lines distinct in levels of resistance to FHB were applied into a proteome profiling using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) to create protein maps and mass spectrometry to identify the proteins differentially accumulated between the analyzed lines. The 2-DE analysis indicated a total of 23 spots with clear differences in a protein content between the more resistant and more susceptible triticale lines after infection with F. culmorum. A majority of the proteins were involved in a cell carbohydrate metabolism, stressing the importance of this protein group in a plant response to Fusarium infection. The increased accumulation levels of different isoforms of plant beta-amylase were observed for a more susceptible triticale line after inoculation. The more resistant line was characterized by a higher abundance of alpha-amylase inhibitor CM2 subunit.

Project description:The molecular processes and proteomic markers leading to tumour development (TD) in cervical cancer (CC) are either unknown or only partially understood. TD affects metabolic and regulatory mechanisms that can be identified as proteomic changes. To identify which proteins are differentially expressed and to understand the mechanisms underlying cancer progression, we analysed the tumour proteome dynamics of CC cell lines. This analysis revealed two proteins that were up-regulated during TD: GSTM3 and GSTP1. These proteins are involved in cell maintenance, survival and stress responses during TD. We demonstrated that the GSTM3/HPV18 E7 interaction regulates stress adaptation. Furthermore, knockdown of GST proteins showed that they are involved in proliferation and evasion of apoptosis via the NF-kB and MAP kinase pathways during TD. These data indicate the critical role of GST proteins in the regulation and progression of cancer. Hence, we suggest GSTs as novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for CC patients.

Project description:Sugarcane is an economically important crop contributing to the world’s sugar and ethanol production with 80% and 40%, respectively. In recent years, the growing demands for sugar and ethanol production has prompted the necessity to increase sugarcane productivity through conventional breeding programs. However, sugarcane breeders have encountered several difficulties to raise productivity, mainly due to its complex genetics. Sugarcane has a polyploidy genome, with many varieties being aneuploidy. Today, the majority of the planted sugarcane cultivars are complex hybrids derived mainly from crosses between Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum. Therefore, proteomics can provide some insight into deciphering gene regulation and changes in carbon metabolism and sucrose accumulation in the culms at different stages of plant development. The aim of this work was to compare the quantitative changes of proteins in sugarcane culms, during plant growth and sucrose accumulation. Total proteins were isolated from both, juvenile and maturing internodes at three stages of plant development. Label free shotgun proteomics was used for protein profiling and quantification. The internodes 5 (I5) and 9 (I9) of 4, 7 and 10 month-old-plants (4M, 7M and 10M, respectively) were harvested and used for proteomic analyses. To mimic field conditions of sucrose accumulation during sugarcane maturation, we stopped watering 10M plants for 10 days. An average of 1130 proteins, unique and differentially expressed across all ages were identified and quantified. Proteins were categorized within 27 functional groups, related to biological process. The patterns of expression for some categories, such as cellular amino acids, metabolic processes, secondary metabolic processes and translation were down-regulated in the immature internode (I5-10M), while up-regulated in the mature I9-10M. We observed an increase in the abundance of several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway and isoforms of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), in the juvenile stages of development of I9. These changes in enzymes contents indicates that at the early stages of internode development, hypoxia is increasing the glycolytic and ethanolic fermentation pathways, in order to supply ATP for plant growth and NAD+ for mitochondrial respiration, which might be impaired by the low oxygen availability inside the culm.

Project description:Aspergillus flavus is a pathogen of corn, peanut, and other crops which produces carcinogenic mycotoxins known as aflatoxins. Previous studies have shown that drought stress results in exacerbated aflatoxin production. Drought-associated oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is suspected to contribute to increased aflatoxin production during infection. Here, the responses of field isolates of A. flavus with varying degrees of aflatoxin production capability to H2O2-derived oxidative stress were examined using iTRAQ proteomics. Three isolates: AF13 (highly toxigenic), NRRL3357 (moderately toxigenic), and K54A (atoxigenic), were cultures in aflatoxin conducive yeast extract-sucrose (YES) medium amended with 0, 10, or 20/25mM of H2O2. Identified differentially expressed proteins were used for functional prediction, cellular localization, and pathway analyses to identify molecular mechanisms involved in A. flavus oxidative stress responses relative to aflatoxin production capability. Correlative analyses with previously obtained transcriptome data for the same isolates under the same experimental conditions was also performed with a low degree of correlation (r = 0.1114) observed between the protein and transcript data suggesting possible post-transcriptional regulation of oxidative stress responses. The identified stress responsive mechanisms provide a basis of investigating novel approaches of enhancing host resistance against aflatoxin contamination.

Project description:Seed longevity is a crucial trait in agriculture as it determines the ability of seeds to maintain viability during dry storage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying seed aging and reduced seed longevity are currently not well understood. Here we report the comparative proteome and metabolome profiling of three rice cultivars varying in aging tolerance including an aging tolerant indica cultivar Dharial, an aging sensitive japonica cultivar Ilmi, and a moderately aging tolerant cultivar A2 that was generated by crossing between Dharial and Ilmi. Results obtained from comparative proteome and metabolome profiling suggest that aged seeds of all the cultivars utilize ubiquitin proteasome-mediated protein degradation which results in the accumulation of free amino acids in Ilmi while tolerant cultivars utilize those for energy production and synthesis of heat shock proteins, especially hsp20/alpha crystallin family protein. Additionally, aging tolerant cultivar seems to activate brassinosteroid signalling and suppress jasmonate signaling to initiate a signaling cascade that allows efficient detoxification of aging induced ROS to maintain the seed longevity during aging. Taken together, these results provide an in-depth understand of aging induced changes in rice seeds.

Project description:Uncovering the molecular mechanisms involved in the responses of crops to drought is crucial to understand and enhance drought tolerance mechanisms. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important commercial crop cultivated mainly in tropical and subtropical areas for sucrose and ethanol production. Usually, drought tolerance has been investigated by single omics analysis (e.g. global transcripts identification). Here we combine label-free quantitative proteomics and metabolomics data (GC-TOF-MS), using a network-based approach, to understand how two contrasting commercial varieties of sugarcane, CTC15 (tolerant) and SP90-3414 (susceptible), adjust their leaf metabolism in response to drought. To this aim, we propose the utilization of regularized canonical correlation analysis (rCCA), which is a modification of classical CCA, and explores the linear relationships between two datasets of quantitative variables from the same experimental units, with a threshold set to 0.99. Light curves revealed that after four days of drought, the susceptible variety had its photosynthetic rate already significantly reduced, while the tolerant cultivar did not show major reduction. Upon twelve days of drought, the susceptible plants had the photosynthetic rate completely reduced, while the tolerant cultivar was at a third of its maximum. Our results provide a reference data set and demonstrate that rCCA can be a powerful tool to infer experimentally metabolite-protein or protein-metabolite associations to understand plant biology.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the dietary treatment with olive oil phenols modifies the profile of microRNA and gene expression in different areas of the aging mouse brain and to correlate these changes with the cognitive and motor changes observed in the same aging animals. C57Bl/6J mice were fed from middle age to senescence with extra-virgin olive oil (10% wt/wt dry diet) rich in polyphenols (H-EVOO group, total polyphenol dose/day, 6mg/kg) or with the same extra-virgin olive oil deprived of phenolic compounds (L-EVOO group). By whole gene expression analysis we identified 53 genes differentially expressed in the cortex of H-EVOO mice compared to L-EVOO mice and no genes differentially expressed in the cerebellum. Gene Set Expression analysis (GSEA) found 6 gene sets significantly modulated by the dietary treatments in cortex, like the agrin-related postsynaptic differentiation gene set, involved in cholinergic synaptic differentiation and maintenance, exerting effects on axonal and dendritic growth. miRNA profiling found only 6 miRNA differentially modulated after 12 months of feeding and 63 after six months. Among them we noted miRNAs previously associated to neurodegenerative disorders such as mir101, 8.5 time more expressed in the cortex of L-EVOO fed mice compared to the H-EVOO group and no expressed in young mice. We extended our analysis on cortex harvested from transgenic TgCRND8 mice, a model of Alzheimer's disease, observing an overall down-regulation of miRNAs compared to mice of the same age. On the contrary, the H-EVOO fed mice cortex showed expression profiles similar to those of young mice, results supporting our previous data demonstrating that extra virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols may improve some age-related dysfunctions.

Project description:Within the complex wheat flour proteome, the gluten proteins have attracted most of the attention because of their importance in determining the functional properties of wheat flour doughs and their roles in human health conditions such as celiac disease and food allergies. However, certain non-gluten proteins also trigger immunological responses but may be present in flour in low amounts or obscured by the more abundant gluten proteins in two-dimensional gels of total protein preparations. Non-gluten proteins were preferentially extracted from the flour with a dilute salt solution and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins in 172 gel spots were identified by tandem mass spectrometry after cleavage with trypsin or chymotrypsin. Fifty-seven different types of non-gluten proteins were identified, including 14 types that are known or suspected immunogenic proteins. The predominant proteins in 18 gel spots were gluten proteins. Transgenic wheat lines in which specific groups of gluten proteins were suppressed by RNA interference were used to estimate the amount of carry-over of gluten proteins in the salt-soluble protein fraction. Analysis of salt-soluble proteins from a transgenic line missing omega-1,2 gliadins demonstrated that certain omega-1,2 gliadins were present in large amounts in the salt-soluble fraction and obscured relatively small amounts of beta-amylase and protein disulfide isomerase. In comparison, analysis of a transgenic line in which alpha gliadins were absent revealed that glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase was a moderately abundant protein that co-migrated with several alpha gliadins. The proteomic map of the non-gluten protein fraction of wheat flour developed in this study complements a proteomic map of the total flour proteins developed previously for the same cultivar. Knowing the identities of low abundance proteins in the flour as well as proteins that are hidden by some of the major gluten proteins on two-dimensional gels is critical for studies aimed at assessing the immunogenic potential of wheat flour and determining how the growth conditions of the plants affect the levels of specific immunogenic proteins in the flour.

Project description:Gall formation on the belowground parts of plants infected with Plasmodiophora brassicae is the result of extensive host cellular reprogramming. The development of these structures is a consequence of increased cell proliferation followed by massive enlargement of cells colonised with the pathogen. Drastic changes in cellular growth patterns create local deformities in the roots and hypocotyl giving rise to mechanical tensions within the tissue of these organs. Host cell wall extensibility and recomposition accompanies growth of the gall, influences pathogen spread and also pathogen life cycle progression. Demethylation of pectin within the extracellular matrix may play an important role in P. brassicae-driven hypertrophy of host underground organs. Through proteomic analysis of the cell wall we identified proteins accumulating in the galls developing on the underground parts of Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with P. brassicae. One of the key proteins identified was the pectin methylesterase PME18; we further characterised its expression and conducted functional and anatomic studies in the knock-out mutant and used Raman spectroscopy to study the status of pectin in P. brassicae infected galls. We found that late stages of gall formation are accompanied with increased levels of Pectin Methylesterase 18 (PME18). We have also shown, that the massive enlargement of cells colonised with P. brassicae coincides with decreases in pectin methylation. In pme18-1 knock-out mutants P. brassicae could still induce demethylation; however, the galls in this line were smaller and cellular expansion was less pronounced. Alteration in pectin demethylation in the host resulted in changes in pathogen distribution and slowed down disease progression. To conclude, P. brassicae driven host organ hypertrophy observed during clubroot disease is accompanied by pectin demethylation in the extracellular matrix. The pathogen hijacks endogenous host mechanisms involved in cell wall loosening to create an optimal cellular environment for completion of its life cycle and eventual release of resting spores facilitated by degradation of demethylated pectin polymers.

Project description:Serine protease is considered a relative upstream regulator in the physiological processes including male reproduction. Transmembrane serine protease 12 (TMPRSS12) has been shown to regulate sperm motility and uterotubal junction migration in mice, but its role in the testis remains unknown.In this study, we confirmed the important role of TMPRSS12 in spermatogenesis. To further investigate the mechanism of TMPRSS12 in male reproduction, we used 2-D electrophoresis combined with Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry(MALDI-TOF/TOF) to construct differential protein expression profiles of testes in Tmprss12-/- and WT mice. A total of 64 spots with 2-fold or more differential expression between two groups were identified using MALDI-TOF/TOF. As a result, 54 unique proteins were identified successfully, including 39 proteins with decreased expression and 15 proteins with increased expression in Tmprss12-/- mice.
