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:Histidine (His) residues are methylated in various proteins, but their roles and regulation mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we showed that CARNMT1, a known His methyltransferase of dipeptide carnosine (βAla-His), is the major protein His N-position-specific methyltransferase. ProSeAM labeling and proteomic analysis revealed that 52 His sites in 20 proteins underwent CARNMT1-mediated methylation. The consensus methylation site for CARNMT1 was identified as Cx(F/Y)xH, which is a C3H zinc finger (C3H-ZF) motif. CARNMT1-deficient and catalytically-inactive mutant mice showed embryonic lethality. Among the CARNMT1-target C3H-ZF proteins, RNA degradation mediated by Roquin and TTP was affected by CARNMT1 and its enzymatic activity. Furthermore, splicing factor, U2AF1’s 3’-splice site recognition was perturbed and pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) was also affected by CARNMT1 deficiency. These findings indicate that CARNMT1-mediated protein His methylation, which is essential for embryogenesis, plays roles in diverse aspects of RNA metabolism by targeting C3H-ZF-type RNA-binding proteins and modulating their functions, including pre-mRNA AS and regulation of mRNA degradation.

Project description:Groupers (Epinephelidae) are ecologically, commercially, and culturally important predatory fishes throughout their global distribution range in tropical, subtropical and occasionally temperate regions. They are key species for modern and ancient fisheries in the Mediterranean which have been heavily overfished in the past century leading to smaller catch sizes, lower CPUE, and decreased biomass. There are four species of grouper native to the Mediterranean within the Epinephelus genus.The abundance and distribution of grouper species prior to the 20th century in the Mediterranean remains poorly known. Using peptide mass fingerprinting, also known as Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), we investigated if ZooMS is a viable method for identifying intra-genus grouper bones to species level. Due to the lack of publicly available genomic sequences and for validation of ZooMS markers, we reconstructed collagen type I amino acid sequences using LC-MS/MS for four Epinephelus spp. Adequate variation between collagen sequences enabled the production of the best supported phylogenetic tree for Mediterranean Epinephelus spp. to date. We identified 23 previously undescribed ZooMS biomarkers capable of distinguishing groupers to the species level. Our novel biomarkers were applied to a case study of 23 grouper/comber fish bones from the Middle to Late Holocene archaeological site of Kinet Höyük, located along the coast of Iskenderun Bay, Turkey. ZooMS markers enabled species level identification of 19 bones with 18 identified as Epinephelus aeneus and 1 identified as Epinephelus marginatus. Combining ZooMS identifications with catch size reconstructions has revealed that E. aeneus is capable of growing ca. 30 cm larger than previously reported. This abundance and dominance of E. aeneus locally at Kinet Höyük is consistent with E. aeneus being the most prevalent grouper species in Iskenderun Bay today, testifying to several millennia of this species local population persistence despite fishing pressure, habitat degradation, and climatic changes.

Project description:Background: The present study investigated a role of proteins from BET family (epigenetic readers) in schizophrenia-like abnormalities in MAM-E17 model of schizophrenia. Methods: An inhibitor of BET proteins, JQ1, was given during adolescence in postnatal days (P) 23-P30, and behavioral response (sensorimotor gating, recognition memory) and prefrontal cortex (mPFC) function (long-term potentiation (LTP), molecular and proteomic studies) were performed in adult males and females. Results: Deficits in sensorimotor gating and recognition memory were observed only in MAM-treated males. However, adolescent JQ1 treatment affected control, but MAM-treated groups in both sexes. Electrophysiological study showed an LTP impairment only in male MAM-treated animals, and JQ1 did not have any effect on LTP in the mPFC. In contrast, MAM did not affect immediate early gene expression (markers of neuronal and synaptic activity), but JQ1 altered them in both sexes. Proteomic study revealed alterations in MAM-treated groups only in males, while JQ1 affected both sexes. Conclusions: Prenatal MAM administration induced schizophrenia-like abnormalities only in males. In contrast, adolescent JQ1 treatment affected both sexes and induced behavioral changes in control groups, altered a markers of neuronal and synaptic activity and proteomic landscape in the mPFC of both groups (VEH- and MAM-treated). Thus, adolescent inhibition of BET family might change neuroplasticity in the mPFC.

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:Cryoinjury and protein changes are a consequence of cryopreservation and may have a negative impact on sperm quality regarding motility, viability and fertilizing ability. However, potential proteomic changes in rabbit semen throughout the cryopreservation process have never been investigated previously. The aim of the present study was to compare the whole proteome of fresh and cryopreserved rabbit extracellular fluid of semen. Comparative analysis and identification of proteins were performed using 2-dimensional difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass (MALDI TOF/TOF) spectrometry. We found that 28 proteins differed in abundance between fresh and frozen extracellular fluid.

Project description:Cryoinjury and protein changes are a consequence of cryopreservation and may have a negative impact on sperm quality regarding motility, viability and fertilizing ability. However, potential proteomic changes in rabbit semen throughout the cryopreservation process have never been investigated previously. The aim of the present study was to compare the whole proteome of fresh and cryopreserved rabbit spermatozoa. Comparative analysis and identification of proteins were performed using 2-dimensional difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass (MALDI TOF/TOF) spectrometry. We found that 108 proteins differed in abundance in spermatozoa between fresh and frozen semen. Most of these proteins was involved in pathways related to energy metabolism and protein quality control under stress conditions, reproductive processes and mechanisms of cell death/survival regulation, resulting in a significant decrease of motility and viability of post-thawing rabbit sperm and its potential fertilizing ability.

Project description:The current work 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 DH5alpha. This was done by applying 2D-DIGE and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra (SWATH) MS as tools on the two well-defined strains. In the gel-based experiments, 49 identified protein spots were found to be differentially expressed, of which 37 belonged to the in vitro cultivated virulent strain and 12 to the attenuated one. The most frequently identified proteins in the virulent strain take part in cytoskeleton formation, carbohydrate metabolism and adaptation to stress. However, post-translationally modified or truncated ubiquitous cellular proteins such as actin and GAPDH were identified as upregulated in multiple gel positions. This indicated their contribution to processes not related to cytoskeleton and carbohydrate metabolism, such as fibronectin or plasminogen binding. On the other hand, proteins involved in cytoskeleton, cell division and cytoskeleton organization were frequently observed in the attenuated strain. The findings of the gel-based studies were supplemented by the gel-free SWATH MS analysis, which identified and quantified 42 significantly differentially regulated proteins. In this case proteins with peptidase activity, metabolic proteins and actin-regulating proteins were the most frequent findings in the virulent strain, while proteins involved in hydrogenosomal carbohydrate metabolism dominated the results in the attenuated one.

Project description:Lung cancer is responsible for the most cancer-related mortality worldwide and the mechanism of its development is poorly understood. Proteomics has become a powerful tool offering vital knowledge related to cancer development. Using a two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) approach, we sought to compare tissue samples from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, exactly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), taken from the tumor center and tumor margin and control (adjacent non-tumor) tissues. We found and 21 spots representing 20 proteins differentiating center and margin. We found 111 differentially expressed protein spots representing 95 proteins; 84, 7, and 20 spots differed between the control and center and margin, control and center, and control and margin, respectively. Nine significant canonical pathways were identified, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1α signaling, thyroid hormone biosynthesis, and phagosome maturation. Several pathways related to disease and function were identified as related to cell death and survival, and several related to cancer, organismal injury, and abnormalities. Proteins differentiating the tumor center and tumor margin were linked to cancer invasion and progression, including cell migration, adhesion and invasion, cytoskeletal structure, protein folding, anaerobic metabolism, tumor angiogenesis, epithelialmesenchymal transition, epithelial adherens junctions, and inflammatory responses.
