Comparative proteome analysis of a clonal virulent and attenuated Histomonas meleagridis strain.

ABSTRACT: The current study aimed to detect and identify significant differentially expressed proteins between a virulent and an attenuated Histomonas meleagridis strain which was in vitro co-cultivated with Escherichia coli DH5α. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was used for proteome visualization , gel image software for computational detection of significantly up-regulated protein spots and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) for protein identification. The statistical analysis fulfilling two criteria (> or = 3-fold up-regulation and P<0.05) detected 119 differentially expressed protein spots out of which 62 spots were located in gels of the virulent strain and 57 spots in gels of the attenuated strain. The mass spectrometric analysis of 32 spots, up-regulated in gels of the virulent strain, showed that they are of H. meleagridis origin. As opposed to this, the mass spectrometric analysis of 49 protein spots , up-regulated in the gels of the attenuated strain , identified 32 spots as specific to the protozoan. Additionally, the analysis identified a number of E. coli DH5α proteins which were detected as differentially expressed by the computational gel image and statistical analysis.

The current study focused on Histomonas meleagridis, a unicellular protozoan, responsible for histomonosis in poultry. Recently, the occurrence of the disease increased due to the ban of effective chemotherapeutic drugs. Basic questions regarding the molecular biology, virulence mechanisms or even life cycle of the flagellate are still puzzling. In order to address some of these issues, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of a virulent and an attenuated H. meleagridis strain traced bac ...[more]

Project description:Data analysis. Spot detection and matching were performed with a comparative cross analysis of all the gels using DeCyder software v.6.5 (GE Healthcare). 178 spots were selected based on 1.15-fold for protein ratio cut-off, allowing for the appearance of the spots in 23 out of 28 gels (69 out of 84 total images). Data from 95 spots were submitted. 93 spots were identified with high confidence. Spot picking and Trypsin digestion. The spots of interest were picked up by Ettan Spot Picker (GE Healthcare) based on the in-gel analysis and spot picking design by DeCyder software. The gel spots were washed a few times then digested in-gel with modified porcine trypsin protease (Promega, Fitchburg, WI). The digested tryptic peptides were desalted using a Zip-tip C18 (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Peptides were eluted from the Zip-tip with 0.5 uL of matrix solution (alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 5 mg/mL in 50% acetonitrile, 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 25mM ammonium bicarbonate) and spotted on a MALDI plate. Mass Spectrometry. MALDI-TOF MS and TOF/TOF tandem MS/MS were performed on AB SCIEX TOF/TOF 5800 System (AB SCIEX). MALDI-TOF mass spectra were acquired in reflectron positive ion mode, averaging 4000 laser shots per spectrum. TOF/TOF tandem MS fragmentation spectra were acquired for each sample, averaging 4000 laser shots per fragmentation spectrum on each of the 7-10 most abundant ions present in each sample (excluding trypsin autolytic peptides and other known background ions). Database search. Both the resulting peptide mass and the associated fragmentation spectra were submitted to GPS Explorer workstation equipped with MASCOT search engine (Matrix Science, Boston, MA) to search the Swiss-Prot database. Searches were performed without constraining protein molecular weight or isoelectric point, with variable carbamidomethylation of cysteine and oxidation of methionine residues, and with one missed cleavage also allowed in the search parameters. Candidates with either protein score C.I.% or Ion C.I.% greater than 95 were considered significant. When multiple IDs were significant for a given spot, the selection was made by evaluating apparent molecular weight, isoelectric point, the location of the spot in the gel, and the presence of strips of multiple protein isoforms in the adjacent spots.
