Optimization of Protein Isolation and Label–free Quantitative Proteomic Analysis in Four Different Tissues of Korean Ginseng

ABSTRACT: Korean ginseng is one of the most valuable medicinal plants worldwide. Yet, our understanding of ginseng proteomics is largely limited due to difficulties in extraction and resolution of ginseng proteins because of the presence of natural contaminants such as polysaccharides, phenols, and glycosides. Here, we compared four different protein extraction methods, namely, TCA/acetone, TCA/acetone–MeOH/chloroform, Phenol–TCA/acetone, and Phenol–MeOH/chloroform methods. Consequently, the TCA/acetone–MeOH/chloroform method displayed the highest extraction efficiency, thus it was used for the comparative proteome profiling of leaf, root, shoot, and fruit by a label–free quantitative proteomics approach. This approach led to the identification of 2,604 significantly modulated proteins among four tissues. We could pinpoint differential pathways and proteins associated with ginsenoside biosynthesis including the methylerythritol 4–phosphate (MEP) pathway, the mevalonate (MVA) pathway, UDP–glycosyltransferases (UGTs), and oxidoreductases (CYP450s). The current study reports an efficient and reproducible method for the isolation of proteins from a wide range of ginseng tissues and provides a detailed organ–based proteome map and a more comprehensive view of enzymatic alterations in ginsenoside biosynthesis.

Project description:A shotgun metagenome microarray was created and used to investigate gene transcription during vinyl chloride (VC) dechlorination by a microbial enrichment culture called KB1. The array was constructed by spotting genomic fragments amplified from short-insert libraries of KB1 metagenomic DNA. Subsequently, the microarrays were interrogated with RNA extracted from KB1 during VC dechlorination (VC+methanol), and in the absence of VC (methanol-only). The most differentially expressed spots, and spots with the highest intensities, were then chosen to be sequenced. Sequencing revealed that Dehalococcoides (Dhc) genes involved in transcription, translation and energy generation were up-regulated during VC degradation. Furthermore, the results indicated that the reductive dehalogenase homologous (RDH) gene KB1rdhA14 is the only RDH gene up-regulated upon VC degradation, and that multiple RDH genes were more highly transcribed in the absence of VC. Numerous hypothetical genes from Dehalococcoides were also more highly transcribed in methanol only treatments and indicate that many uncharacterized proteins are involved in cell maintenance in the absence of chlorinated substrates. Spots with genes from Spirochaetes, Chloroflexi, Geobacter, Methanogens and phage organisms were differentially expressed and sequencing provided information from these uncultivated organisms that can be used to design primers for more targeted studies. This array format is powerful, as it does not require a priori sequence knowledge. This study provides the first report of such arrays being used to investigate transcription in a mixed community, and shows that this array format can be used to screen metagenomic libraries for functionally important genes. 2 Biological replicate experimens conducted 1 month apart. In the first there were 2 dye-swapped duplicates (total 4) of VC+MeOH versus MeOH only. In the second experiment there was one set of dye swapped arrays. Thus 6 arrays were performed including biological replicates, dye swapped replicates and technical duplicates.

Project description:Low molecular weight (LMW) peptides and proteins (LMWPs, < 30 kDa) in human plasma, serving as potential biomarkers or drug targets, are endowed with a wealth of biological and clinical research values. However, the extraction of LMW species is retarded by high-abundance proteins (HAPs) and therein large dynamic concentration ranges of proteins in plasma. Here we present an optimized MeOH/MTBE-based organic solvent precipitation approach that combining the efficient protein precipitation and effective delipidation (referred here as MeOH/MTBE) to enrich LMWPs from human plasma. The Tricine-SDS-PAGE analysis showed that MeOH/MTBE can not only maximally deplete HAPs but also effectively extract LMWPs from human plasma. By coupling with Top-Down Proteomics (TDP) strategy, MeOH/MTBE enabled the identification of 725 peptides derived from 158 proteins on average from human plasma, which should represent the largest number to our best knowledge with regard to TDP-based single LC-MS/MS acquisition. When combined with Bottom-Up Proteomics (BUP) strategy, MeOH/MTBE allowed for the identification of 376 proteins from human plasma. Notably, 155 out of 376 identified proteins (41.2%) were found to be with a molecular weight under 30 kDa, which further proved the efficient enrichment of LMWPs from human plasma by MeOH/MTBE approach. Moreover, concentrations of the identified proteins were found to span 5-6 orders of magnitude according to the PaxDb dataset. Additionally, many low abundant peptides including 25 neuropeptides and 19 smORF-encoded polypeptides (SEPs) derived from long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were detected. Taken together, the MeOH/MTBE approach described here represents a simple, rapid and reproducible methodology for efficient and sensitive analysis of LMWPs and low abundant proteins from human plasma, which will greatly facilitate the selective identification and quantification of LMWPs from human plasma and accelerate the discovery rate of potential biomarkers and drug targets.
