Project description:N-degradomic analysis of proteolytic processing in WT1 heterozygous mice, suffering from genetically induced chronic kidney injury, compared to wild type
Project description:Regulated intracellular proteolysis is essential in maintaining the integrity of podocytes and the glomerular filtration barrier of the kidney. Altered proteolytic substrate turnover has been associated with various glomerular diseases ranging from diabetic nephropathy to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. However, thus far it has not been possible to systematically identify proteolytically cleaved proteins although some of the proteases have been characterized. Here we applied TAILS to map N-termini in the mouse glomeruli proteome and to determine and quantify N termini in podocyte cell cultures challenged with PAN.

Project description:Profiling of proteolytic events mouse kidneys during cisplatin-induced kidney damage. Kidneys from vehicle-treated mice are compared to cisplatin-treated mice and cisplatin treatment in animals preconditioned by hypoxia or calory restriction regimes.

Project description:Identification ofputative ClpXP substrates by combination of proteome analysis and TAILS N termini profiling from wt and ClpP-deficient mouse heart mitochondria, combined with substrate trapping using catalytically inactive ClpP expressed in MEF cell culture. This dataset provides the preTAILS proteomedata
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana Legumain (aka VPE) beta / gamma were characterized for their cleavage specificity and putative substrates were identified by the N-termini enrichment method HUNTER.
Project description:Mass developments of toxin-producing cyanobacteria are frequently observed in freshwater ecosystems due to eutrophication and global warming. These mass developments can partly be attributed to cyanobacterial toxins, such as protease inhibitors (PIs), which inhibit digestive serine proteases of Daphnia, the major herbivore of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria. To date, mechanisms of this inhibition in the gut of the crustacean Daphnia magna are not known. Here, we characterize a single serine protease, chymotrypsin 448 (CT448), which is present in the gut of the crustacean D. magna.
Project description:We aimed to define epithelial-specific genes in the kidney. In the developing mouse kidney at E12.5 epithelial cells are restricted to the ureteric bud, while mesenchymal cells surrounding the ureteric bud are non-epithelial. The mouse renal epithelial cell line mIMCD-3 was used to represent kidney epithelia in vitro. Gene expression was analyzed using Affymetrix microarrays in ureteric bud stalks, ureteric bud tips, and mIMCD-3 cells and compared to metanephric mesenchyme. Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays from mouse E12.5 ureteric bud tips, ureteric bus stalks, and metanephric mesenchymes had previously been published (GEO deposition: GDS1583) (Schmidt-Ott, K. M., Yang, J., Chen, X., Wang, H., Paragas, N., Mori, K., Li, J. Y., Lu, B., Costantini, F., Schiffer, M. et al. (2005). Novel regulators of kidney development from the tips of the ureteric bud. J Am Soc Nephrol 16, 1993-2002.). We added a new microarray analysis from a subclone of mIMCD-3 cells and recalculated expression values in the complete dataset by robust multichip analysis.
