Maize Root system iTRAQ result under salt treatment

ABSTRACT: To acknowledge the molecular mechanisms underlying maize salt tolerance, two maize inbred lines, including salt-tolerant 8723 and salt-sensitive P138, were used in this study. Comparative proteomics of seedling roots from two maize inbred lines under 180 mM salt stress for 10 days was performed by the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach. We obtained a total of 336237 spectra. 30616 peptides and a total of 7505 proteins were identified with 1% FDR. A total of 7505 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. 626 DEPs were identified in line 8723 under salt stress, among them, 378 up-regulated and 248 down-regulated. 473 DEPs were identified in P138, of which 212 were up-regulated and 261 were down-regulated. Venn diagram analysis showed that 17 DEPs were up-regulated and 12 DEPs were down-regulated in the two inbred lines. In addition, 8 DEPs were up-regulated in line 8723 but down-regulated in P138, 6 DEPs were down-regulated in line 8723 but up-regulated in P138. In salt-stressed 8723, the DEPs were primarily associated with phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, starch and sucrose metabolism, and the MAPK signaling pathway. Intriguingly, the DEPs were only associated with the nitrogen metabolism pathway in P138. Compared to P138, the root response to salt stress in 8723 could maintain stronger water retention capacity, osmotic regulation ability, synergistic effects of antioxidant enzymes, energy supply capacity, signal transduction, ammonia detoxification ability, lipid metabolism, and nucleic acid synthesis. Based on the proteome sequencing information, changes in the abundance of 8 DEPs were correlated with the corresponding mRNA levels. Our results from this study may elucidate some details of salt tolerance mechanisms and salt tolerance breeding of maize.

Salt stress is one of the key abiotic stresses that causes great loss of yield and serious decrease in quality in maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.). Therefore, it is very important to reveal the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance in maize. To acknowledge the molecular mechanisms underlying maize salt tolerance, two maize inbred lines, including salt-tolerant 8723 and salt-sensitive P138, were used in this study.

Project description:In order to clarify the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance between different maize (Zea mays L.) varieties at the protein level, iTRAQ (the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) quantitative proteomics were used for the comparative analysis of protein expression in the seedling roots of the drought-tolerant Chang 7-2 and drought-sensitive TS141 maize varieties under 20% PEG 6000 (polyethylene glycol 6000)-simulated drought stress. A total of 7723 proteins were identified using iTRAQ in the maize seedling roots. We detected 39371 peptides and 30148 unique peptides. The identified protein molecular mass was mainly distributed between 10–60 kDa. COG analysis divided these proteins into 24 categories, among which general function prediction contained the largest number of proteins (19.1%), followed by posttranslational modification, protein turnover, and chaperones (10.52%). In the identified differentially expressed proteins, 1552 of which were significantly differentially expressed. Of these, 1249 were differentially expressed in Chang 7-2 following drought stress, 577 of which were up-regulated and 672 were down-regulated. Four hundred and twenty five differentially expressed proteins were identified in TS141, 249 of which were up-regulated and 176 were down-regulated. Of these proteins, 32 demonstrated opposite expression levels in the two varieties, and there were 56 up-regulated proteins that were common between the two varieties. Comparing the Chang 7-2 treatment group and control group, the DEPS in the cellular component category were mainly enriched in cytoplasmic membrane-bounded vesicles, cytoplasmic vesicles, membrane-bound vesicles and vesicles; in the molecular function category, the DEPs were mainly enriched in cation binding and metal ion binding; and in the biological process category, the major enriched categories included phosphate-containing compound metabolic process, single-organism transport cellular component organization or biogenesis, carbohydrate metabolic process, and cellular component organization. Comparing the TS141 treatment group and control group, the DEPS in the cellular component category were primarily enriched in cytoplasmic membrane-bounded vesicles, cytoplasmic vesicles, membrane-bound vesicles, and vesicle; in the molecular function category, the DEPs were mainly enriched in cation binding and metal ion binding; and in the biological process category, the major enrichment categories included oxidation-reduction process and carbohydrate metabolic process. In Chang 7-2, the differentially expressed proteins were associated with ribosome pathway, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway, and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. In TS141, the differentially expressed proteins were associated with metabolic pathway, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, and starch and sucrose metabolism.

Project description:Phosphorylation is a regulatory mechanism by which intracellular apicomplexan parasites control the process of invading and modifying host cells. However, the sporulated oocysts’ phosphoprotein repertoires between virulent and avirulent strains of Toxoplasma gondii and the underlying mechanisms contributing to virulence is still a mystery. A quantitative analysis of the sporulated oocysts’ phosphoproteome profile of T. gondii virulent and avirulent strains belonging to different genotypes was conducted to reveal phosphoprotein expression patterns that contribute to the virulence of a particular phenotype. Phosphopeptides from the sporulated oocysts of the virulent strain PYS (Chinese ToxoDB#9) and the avirulent strain type II (PRU strain) were enriched by titanium dioxide (TiO2) affinity chromatography and quantified using iBT technology. A total of 10,645 unique phosphopeptides, 8,181 nonredundant phosphorylation sites and 2,792 phosphoproteins were identified. The quantitative analysis identified 4,129 differentially expressed phosphopeptides (DEPs) between sporulated oocysts of the PYS strain and PRU strain (|log1.5 fold change| > 1 and P < 0.05), including 2,485 upregulated and 1,644 downregulated phosphopeptides. Motif analysis identified 24 motifs from the upregulated phosphorylated peptides including 22 serine motifs and two threonine motifs (TPE and TP), and 15 motifs from the downregulated phosphorylated peptides including 12 serine motifs and three threonine motifs (TP, RxxT and KxxT) in PYS strain when comparing PYS/PRU. Several kinases were consistent with motifs of overrepresented phosphopeptides, such as PKA, PKG, CKII, IKK, MAPK, EGFR, INSR, Jak, Syk, Src, Ab1. GO analysis, KEGG pathway analysis and STRING analysis revealed differentially expressed phosphoproteins (DEPs) exhibiting significant functional properties. Kinase associated network analysis showed that AGC kinase had the greatest connected peptides. Our findings reveal significant difference in phosphopeptides of sporulated oocysts between virulent and avirulent T. gondii strains, which provides solid foundation for further exploring the mechanisms contributing to the virulence of T. gondii.
