iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of embryonic developmental stages in Amur sturgeon, Acipenser schrenckii. Sci Rep 2018; 8:6255. [PMID: 29674748 PMCID: PMC5908867 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-24562-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2017] [Accepted: 04/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The Amur sturgeon, Acipenser schrenckii, is an important aquaculture species in China with annual production of about 150 thousand tons in 2015. In this study, we investigated the regulatory proteins and pathways affecting embryonic development of Amur sturgeon, by analyzing of the differential proteomes among four embryonic developmental stages using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), combined with the analysis of effects of microelements and antioxidants on embryonic development. Seventy-four, 77, and 76 proteins were differentially expressed according to iTRAQ analysis between the fertilized egg and blastula, blastula and neurula, and neurula and heart-beat stages, respectively. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that Gluconeogenesis, Ribosome and Proteasome were the most enriched pathways, which may promote energy formation, immune system protection and protein synthesis process in A. schrenckii. The measurement of microelements indicated that Mn, Cu and Fe were obtained from their parents or water environment in A. schrenckii, while Zn plays vital roles throughout embryonic development. The dramatically high level of malondialdehyde (MDA) across the embryonic development may be the main reason leading to a low hatching rate in A. schrenckii. This study provides the basis for further proteome analysis of embryonic development in A. schrenckii.

PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL 2017; 15:1250-1263. [PMID: 28218981 PMCID: PMC5595712 DOI: 10.1111/pbi.12712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2016] [Revised: 01/28/2017] [Accepted: 02/14/2017] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Amino acids are both constituents of proteins, providing the essential nutrition for humans and animals, and signalling molecules regulating the growth and development of plants. Most cultivars of maize are deficient in essential amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan. Here, we measured the levels of 17 different total amino acids, and created 48 derived traits in mature kernels from a maize diversity inbred collection and three recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. By GWAS, 247 and 281 significant loci were identified in two different environments, 5.1 and 4.4 loci for each trait, explaining 7.44% and 7.90% phenotypic variation for each locus in average, respectively. By linkage mapping, 89, 150 and 165 QTLs were identified in B73/By804, Kui3/B77 and Zong3/Yu87-1 RIL populations, 2.0, 2.7 and 2.8 QTLs for each trait, explaining 13.6%, 16.4% and 21.4% phenotypic variation for each QTL in average, respectively. It implies that the genetic architecture of amino acids is relative simple and controlled by limited loci. About 43.2% of the loci identified by GWAS were verified by expression QTL, and 17 loci overlapped with mapped QTLs in the three RIL populations. GRMZM2G015534, GRMZM2G143008 and one QTL were further validated using molecular approaches. The amino acid biosynthetic and catabolic pathways were reconstructed on the basis of candidate genes proposed in this study. Our results provide insights into the genetic basis of amino acid biosynthesis in maize kernels and may facilitate marker-based breeding for quality protein maize.

Abstract
Optimal nitrogen (N) supply is critical for achieving high grain yield of maize. It is well established that N deficiency significantly reduces grain yield and N oversupply reduces N use efficiency without significant yield increase. However, the underlying proteomic mechanism remains poorly understood. The present field study showed that N deficiency significantly reduced ear size and dry matter accumulation in the cob and grain, directly resulting in a significant decrease in grain yield. The N content, biomass accumulation, and proteomic variations were further analysed in young ears at the silking stage under different N regimes. N deficiency significantly reduced N content and biomass accumulation in young ears of maize plants. Proteomic analysis identified 47 proteins with significant differential accumulation in young ears under different N treatments. Eighteen proteins also responded to other abiotic and biotic stresses, suggesting that N nutritional imbalance triggered a general stress response. Importantly, 24 proteins are involved in regulation of hormonal metabolism and functions, ear development, and C/N metabolism in young ears, indicating profound impacts of N nutrition on ear growth and grain yield at the proteomic level.

Identification and kinetic characterization of HtDTC, the mitochondrial dicarboxylate-tricarboxylate carrier of Jerusalem artichoke tubers. J Bioenerg Biomembr 2006; 38:57-65.

Abstract
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers were reported to be tolerant to cold and freezing. The aim of this study was to perform a kinetic characterization of the mitochondrial dicarboxylate-tricarboxylate carrier (HtDTC) and to assess a possible involvement of this carrier in the cold tolerance of tubers. The HtDTC was purified from isolated mitochondria by sequential chromatography on hydroxylapatite/celite and Matrex Gel Orange A. SDS gel electrophoresis of the purified fraction showed a single polypeptide band with an apparent molecular mass of 31.6 kDa. A polyclonal antibody raised against the tobacco DTC cross-reacted with the purified protein on Western blot analysis. In gel trypsin, digestion of the purified HtDTC yielded peptides that exhibited strong amino acid sequence similarity to previously identified plant DTCs. Furthermore, using degenerate primers, a portion of the Htdtc cDNA was amplified and sequenced; this cDNA encoded for a protein with high sequence similarity to known plant homolog DTCs. When reconstituted in liposomes loaded with dicarboxylate (2-oxoglutarate, malate, malonate, succinate, and maleate) or tricarboxylate anions (citrate, trans-aconitate, and isocitrate), the purified HtDTC transported all these anions in exchange with external [14C]2-oxoglutarate. A kinetic characterization of HtDTC was performed: (a) the half-saturation constant Km and the Vmax at 25 degrees C of the 2-oxoglutarate/2-oxoglutarate exchange by reconstituted HtDTC were found to be 360 microM and 10.9 micromol/(min mg protein), respectively; (b) the activation energy Ea of the succinate/2-oxoglutarate exchange by the reconstituted HtDTC was found to be 50.7 kJ/mol constant between -5 and 35 degrees C. Similarly, the activation energy Ea of succinate respiration of isolated Jerusalem artichoke mitochondria, measured between -2 and 35 degrees C, was shown to be constant (65.3 kJ/mol). The physiological relevance of kinetic properties and temperature dependence of transport activities of HtDTC is discussed with respect to the cold tolerance ability of Jerusalem artichoke tubers.

Abstract
We report an extensive proteome analysis of rice etioplasts, which were highly purified from dark-grown leaves by a novel protocol using Nycodenz density gradient centrifugation. Comparative protein profiling of different cell compartments from leaf tissue demonstrated the purity of the etioplast preparation by the absence of diagnostic marker proteins of other cell compartments. Systematic analysis of the etioplast proteome identified 240 unique proteins that provide new insights into heterotrophic plant metabolism and control of gene expression. They include several new proteins that were not previously known to localize to plastids. The etioplast proteins were compared with proteomes from Arabidopsis chloroplasts and plastid from tobacco Bright Yellow 2 cells. Together with computational structure analyses of proteins without functional annotations, this comparative proteome analysis revealed novel etioplast-specific proteins. These include components of the plastid gene expression machinery such as two RNA helicases, an RNase II-like hydrolytic exonuclease, and a site 2 protease-like metalloprotease all of which were not known previously to localize to the plastid and are indicative for so far unknown regulatory mechanisms of plastid gene expression. All etioplast protein identifications and related data were integrated into a data base that is freely available upon request.

Abstract
The citrate carrier from maize (Zea mays) shoot mitochondria was solubilized with Triton X-100 and purified by sequential chromatography on hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite/celite in the presence of cardiolipin. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the purified fraction showed a single polypeptide band with an apparent molecular mass of 31 kD. When reconstituted into liposomes, the citrate carrier catalyzed a pyridoxal 5'-P-sensitive citrate/citrate exchange. It was purified 224-fold with a recovery of 50% and a protein yield of 0.22% with respect to the mitochondrial extract. In the reconstituted system the purified citrate carrier catalyzed a first-order reaction of citrate/citrate (0.065 min-1) or citrate/malate exchange (0.075 min-1). Among the various substrates and inhibitors tested, the reconstituted protein transported citrate, cis-aconitate, isocitrate, L-malate, succinate, malonate, glutarate, alpha-ketoglutarate, oxaloacetate, and alpha-ketoadipate and was inhibited by pyridoxal 5'-P, phenylisothiocyanate, mersalyl, and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (but not N-ethylmaleimide), 1,2, 3-benzentricarboxylate, benzylmalonate, and butylmalonate. The activation energy of the citrate/citrate exchange was 66.5 kJ/mol between 10 degrees C and 35 degrees C; the half-saturation constant (Km) for citrate was 0.65 +/- 0.05 mM and the maximal rate (Vmax) of the citrate/citrate exchange was 13.0 +/- 1.0 micromol min-1 mg-1 protein at 25 degrees C.
