Project description:Protein abundance changes and reversible protein phosphorylation (RPP) play important roles in regulating hypometabolism but have never been documented in overwintering frogs at high altitudes. To test the hypothesis that protein abundance and protein phosphorylation change in response to winter hibernation, we conducted a comprehensive and quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of the liver of the Xizang plateau frog, Nanorana parkeri, living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Project description:This study examined archaeal lipidome of a total of 52 sediment and soil samples across a wide range of environmental gradients, including sediment from hot springs in Tengchong, Yunan Province, sediment from acid mine drainages in Anhui and Guangdong provinces, permafrost soil from Tibet Plateau, soil from Western Sichuan Plateau, surface sediment of cold seeps and sediment core material from the South China Sea, and sediment from the East China Sea.
