Project description:Lactulose-derived oligosaccharides (OsLu) are prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) known to be beneficial for human health. Many of these carbohydrates are reported to have immunomodulatory properties; however the molecular mechanism is unclear. OsLu produced by enzymatic synthesis can be purified with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (OsLu-Sc). We show that this purification method introduces yeast-derived proteins reactive to Dectin-2, an innate immune receptor for fungal polysaccharides. Using a cell-based bioassay, we tested the binding of OsLu and GOS samples to Dectin-2. While OsLu purified with active charcoal and commercial GOS failed to bind to Dectin-2, we found OsLu-Sc bound to this receptor. The carbohydrate-binding incompetent mutant of Dectin-2 failed to bind to OsLu-Sc. These data suggest that OsLu-Sc introduced carbohydrate ligands for Dectin-2. In accordance with this, proteomic analysis revealed OsLu-Sc contained S. cerevisiae-derived mannoproteins. Therefore, our data highlights the importance of the purification method for OsLu, which may positively affect the bioactivity of OsLu.

Project description:Cycling Dof Factor (CDF) transcription factors have been implicated in different aspects of plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis and tomato, two members of this family CDF1 and CDF3 have recently been associated with the regulation of primary metabolism and abiotic stress responses, but their roles in crop production under open field conditions remain unknown. In this study, we compared growth and tuber yield and composition of wild-type (WT) potato plants and plants ectopically expressing the CDF1/3 genes from Arabidopsis under the control of the 35S promoter cultured under growth chamber and open field conditions. In growth chambers, the 35S::AtCDF1 and 35S::AtCDF3 potato plants showed higher than WT biomass production and tuber yield. Under field conditions, 35S::AtCDF1 plants showed significant increases in tuber yield with a significant increase in tuber weight, whereas 35S::AtCDF3 plants showed no significant changes in yield, but produced more than WT number of tubers. Metabolomic analysis revealed that tubers of 35S::AtCDF1 plants cultured under open field conditions accumulated higher levels of glucose, starch and amino acids than WT tubers. Comparative proteomic analysis of tubers of 35S::AtCDF1 and control plants cultured under open field revealed that these changes can be accounted for by changes in the expression of proteins involved in energy production and different aspects of C and N metabolism. Results from this study advance our collective understanding of the role of CDFs and are of interest to improve yield and breeding of crop plants

Project description:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are leading causes of visual impairment and blindness in people aged 50 years or older in middle-income and industrialized countries. Anti-VEGF therapies have improved the management of neovascular AMD (nAMD) and proliferative DR (PDR), no treatment options exist for the highly prevalent dry form of AMD. To unravel the biological processes underlying these pathologies and to find new potential biomarkers, a label-free quantitative (LFQ) method was applied to analyze the vitreous proteome in PDR (n=4), AMD (n=4) compared to idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) (n=4). Post-hoc tests revealed 96 proteins capable of differentiating among the different groups, whereas 118 proteins were found differentially regulated in PDR compared to ERM and 95 proteins in PDR compared to dry AMD. The pathway analysis indicates that mediators of complement and coagulation cascades and acute phase responses are enriched in PDR vitreous, whilst proteins highly correlated to the extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, platelet degranulation, lysosomal degradation, cell adhesion, and central nervous system development were found underexpressed. According to these results, 35 proteins were selected and validated by MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) in a larger cohort of patients with ERM (n=21), DR/PDR (n=20), AMD (n=11), and retinal detachment (n=13). Of these, 26 proteins were validated and were capable of differentiating between vitreoretinal diseases under study. Based on Partial least squares discriminant and multivariate exploratory receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, a panel of 15 discriminatory biomarkers was defined, which includes complement and coagulation components (CO2 and prothrombin), acute-phase mediators (alpha-1-antichymotrypsin), adhesion molecules (e.g., myocilin, galectin-3-binding protein), ECM components (opticin), and neurodegeneration biomarkers (beta-amyloid, amyloid-like protein 2).

Project description:Biofilm formation is a strategy of many bacterial species to adapt to a variety of stresses and has become a part of infections, contaminations or beneficial interactions. In this study, we demonstrate that profound physiological changes permit Bacillus cereus to switch from a floating to a sessile lifestyle, to undergo further maturation of the biofilm, and to differentiate into offensive or defensive populations. The rearrangement of nucleotides, sugars, amino acids and energy metabolism lead to changes promoting reinforcement of the cell wall, rigidity of the membrane, activation of ROS detoxification or secondary metabolite production, all contributing to defend biofilm cells from external aggressions. However, floating cells maintain a fermentative metabolic status that ensures a higher aggressiveness against hosts, evidenced by the production of toxins and other virulent factors. Our findings argue in favor of the metabolic versatility of B. cereus and the fine tuning of these gene expression which grant this species to move to any of these two distinct subpopulations, necessary to face changeable environmental conditions.

Project description:To dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance (DT) in rice, transcriptome differences of a DT introgression line H471, the DT donor P28 and the drought sensitive recurrent parent HHZ under drought stress were investigated using deep transcriptome sequencing. Results revealed a differential constitutive gene expression prior to stress and distinct global transcriptome reprogramming among three genotypes under time-series drought stress, consistent with their differential genotypes and DT phenotypes. DT introgression line H471, the DT donor P28 and the drought sensitive recurrent parent HHZ under drought stress were investigated using deep transcriptome sequencing.The drought stress treatment was started by withholding water at the tillering stage. The days were counted after the AWC in the soil reached 20% to allow drought measurements at precisely determined intervals, and the soil water content reached 15%, 10% and 7.5% after 1d, 3d and 4d drought treatment, respectively.Three top leaves for each sample were harvested for each genotype under 1d and 3d drought stress and control conditions. All samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C and then for transcriptome sequencing.

Project description:The replication of many RNA viruses involves the translation of polyproteins, whose processing by endopeptidases is a critical step for the release of functional subunits. P1 is the first protease encoded in plant potyvirus genomes; once activated by an as-yet-unknown host factor, it acts in cis on its own C-terminal end, hydrolyzing the P1-HCPro junction. Earlier research suggests that P1 cooperates with HCPro to inhibit host RNA silencing defenses. Using Plum pox virus as a model, we show that although P1 does not have a major direct role in RNA silencing suppression, it can indeed modulate HCPro function by its self-cleavage activity. To study P1 protease regulation, we used bioinformatic analysis and in vitro activity experiments to map the core C-terminal catalytic domain. We present evidence that the hypervariable region that precedes the protease domain is predicted as intrinsically disordered, and that it behaves as a negative regulator of P1 proteolytic activity in in vitro cleavage assays. In viral infections, removal of the P1 protease antagonistic regulator is associated with greater symptom severity, induction of salicylate-dependent pathogenesis-related proteins, and reduced viral loads. We suggest that fine modulation of a viral protease activity has evolved to keep viral amplification below host-detrimental levels, and thus to maintain higher long-term replicative capacity.

Project description:Targeted approaches have been widely used to help explain physiological adaptations, but few studies have used non-targeted omics approaches to explore differences between diving marine mammals and terrestrial mammals. A rank comparison of undepleted serum proteins from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and pooled normal human serum led to the discovery of 11 proteins that appeared exclusive to dolphin serum. For dolphin proteins that did not match human serum proteins, a second comparison was made with Yorkshire pig (Sus scrofa)serum proteins to determine whether phylogenetic differences in serum proteins could simply explain the differences between dolphin and human. Three out of 11 proteins that were considered unique to the dolphin high abundance serum proteome were ranked within the high abundance pig serum proteome. Compared to the comprehensive human plasma proteome, 5 of 11 serum proteins had a differential rank greater than 200. Major differences exist in the circulating blood proteome of the bottlenose dolphin compared to terrestrial mammals and exploration of these differences in bottlenose dolphins and other marine mammals may identify veiled protective strategies to counter physiological stress.

Project description:The objectives of the study were to use RNA-Seq to examine the effect of (i) breed and (ii) gradual weaning, on the whole blood mRNA transcriptome of artificially reared Holstein-Friesian and Jersey calves. The calves were gradually weaned over 14 days (day (d) -13 to d 0) and mRNA transcription was examined one day before gradual weaning was initiated (d -14), one day after weaning (d 1) and 8 days after weaning (d 8). RNA-seq analysis was carried out on RNA extracted from whole blood. Gradual weaning had no effect on gene expression (P>0.05).There were 550 differentially expressed genes at a false discovery rate of 10% and with a â¥1.5-fold change, between Holstein-Friesian and Jersey calves on d -14, 490 on d 1, and 411 on d 8. GOseq/KEGG pathway analysis showed that the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway were over-represented between breeds on all days (P<0.01; Qâ¤0.1). These results demonstrate that the gradual weaning practiced here does not compromise the welfare of artificially-reared dairy calves, evidenced by the lack of expression changes in any genes in response to gradual weaning. These data also suggest differences in cell signalling and immune responses between breeds. Eight Holstein-Friesian and eight Jersey bull calves were group housed indoors and individually fed milk replacer and concentrate using an automatic feeder. Calves were gradually weaned by reducing milk-replacer from 6 litres to 0 litres over 14 days (d) (d -13 to d 0). Calves were blood sampled on d -14, 1, and 8, relative to weaning (d 0). RNA-seq analysis was carried out on RNA extracted from whole blood.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide-mediated signaling pathways regulates many physiological andpathophysiological processes in mammalian and plant systems. The molecular mechanism bywhich hydrogen sulfide exerts its action involves the oxidative post-translational modificationof cysteine residues to form a persulfidated thiol motif, named as protein S-sulfhydration orpersulfidation. We have developed a comparative and quantitative proteomic analysisapproach for the detection of endogenous S-sulfhydrated proteins in wild-type Arabidopsisand L-CYSTEINE DESULFHYDRASE 1 mutant leaves by using the tag-switch method.Bioinformatic analysis of the identified proteins revealed that S-sulfhydrated cysteines arepart of a wide range of biological functions regulating important processes such as carbonmetabolism, plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, plant growth and development, andRNA translation. Quantitative analysis in both genetic backgrounds reveals hydrogen sulfidemediatedprotein sulfhydration as a new regulatory component in primary metabolic pathwayssuch as tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis or Calvin cycle. In addition, studies on thesubcellular localization of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase show that sulfideregulates the cytosolic/nuclear partitioning by enhancing the nuclear localization of theprotein and appears to be a critical step for reprogramming cellular metabolism.

Project description:Fruit ripening is a very important physiological process which gains relevance in crop species due to their economical and nutritional repercussions. During fruit ripening enormous metabolic changes occur in a genetically-controlled scenario affecting the physiology of most cell compartments. Peroxisomes are single-membrane bounded organelles present in all eukaryotes which display a noteworthy nitro-oxidative metabolism, and harbor catalase as one of the major antioxidant enzymes in cells. Quantitative proteomics analysis by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) was used to investigate the ripening process in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruits. Out of 2,574 quantified proteins, 692 were found to be significantly more abundant in immature green fruits compared to red ones, but 497 showed a lower expression as the ripening proceeded. Overall, about 50% of the detectable proteins were estimated to modify their expression due to the ripening process. Data obtained from the Gene Ontology algorithms (AgriGO platform) showed that from all the identified proteins, 46 (2%) were only predicted to have a peroxisomal origin, with a high number of them displaying up-expression tendency during ripening. Catalase was framed within the group which showed lower expression in ripe fruits, but this enzyme was also susceptible to undergo posttranslational modifications (PTMs) promoted by reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNS and ROS) through nitration, S-nitrosylation and oxidation events which provoked its inhibition. The biochemical characterization of catalase indicates that it has atypical native molecular mass (125-135 kDa), since it behaves as a homodimer, and isoelectric point of 7.4, which is higher than that of the majority of plant catalases reported so far. Taking together, these data suggest that ROS and RNS could be essential to modulate the role of catalase for the maintenance of basic cellular peroxisomal functions during pepper fruit ripening where nitro-oxidative stress occur.
