Project description:BackgroundCapparis spinosa L. is a typical desert plant that is resistant to high temperatures and drought, and at the same time is rich in medicinal and food values. The objective of this study is to explore the variations in nutrient composition, morphological characteristics, and SDS-PAGE patterns of caper seeds from different provenances, aiming to provide insights for the selection of superior seed provenances.ResultsIn this experiment, there were significant differences in the morphological characteristics and major nutritional components of caper seeds from different provenances. Seeds from the YKL (Karayagaqi Township, Yining County) and YKG (G218, KashiTown, Yining County) regions were larger in size compared to seeds from other regions. Among the four measured nutritional components, crude fat had the highest content, especially in the YKL and YKG region. The results of correlation analysis showed that crude fat was negatively correlated with soluble sugar and soluble protein but significantly positively correlated with starch content. As longitude increased from east to west, the morphological characteristics gradually increased. Based on the principal component analysis of all the parameters of the seeds, the eight provenances could be classified into three groups. HM (Hami), TGS (S202, Gaochang District, Turpan), HYW (Wubao Town, Yizhou District, Hami), TQQ (Qiquanhu Town, Turpan), and TLF (Turpan) were a group with higher soluble protein, soluble sugar, and water content. YKL and YKG were in one group, which had larger seed grains with high crude fat and starch content. AKS (Aksu) was in a separate group. The protein fractions from seeds of eight regions were extracted using Osborne fractionation method, it was found that glutelin content was the highest, while albumin content was the lowest. After these proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, the electrophoretic patterns showed that the protein molecular weights were relatively small, and there were differences in protein bands among different provenances.ConclusionAccording to the PCA results, the eight seed provenances could be divided into three groups. There were both geographically distant ones clustered into one group, and those close to each other were also divided into one group. There were differences in seed morphology, nutrient content and SDS-PAGE profiles among the different seed sources. This difference might be caused by a combination of geographic and climatic factors. In addition, YKL and YKG were roughly selected as good seed provenances, which provided a theoretical basis for the development of C. spinosa L. germplasm resources.

Project description:Campylobacter is the leading cause of the human bacterial foodborne infections in the developed countries. The perception cues from biotic or abiotic environments by the bacteria are often related to bacterial surface and membrane proteins that mediate the cellular response for the adaptation of Campylobacter jejuni to the environment. These proteins function rarely as a unique entity, they are often organized in functional complexes. In C. jejuni, these complexes are not fully identified and some of them remain unknown. To identify putative functional multi-subunit entities at the membrane subproteome level of C. jejuni, a holistic non a priori method was addressed using two-dimensional blue native/Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in strain C. jejuni 81-176. Couples of acrylamide gradient/migration-time, membrane detergent concentration and hand-made strips were optimized to obtain reproducible extraction and separation of intact membrane protein complexes (MPCs). The MPCs were subsequently denatured using SDS-PAGE and each spot from each MPCs was identified by mass spectrometry. Altogether, 21 MPCs could be detected including multi homo-oligomeric and multi hetero-oligomeric complexes distributed in both inner and outer membranes. The function, the conservation and the regulation of the MPCs across C. jejuni strains were inspected by functional and genomic comparison analyses. In this study, relatedness between subunits of two efflux pumps, CmeABC and MacABputC was observed. In addition, a consensus sequence CosR-binding box in promoter regions of MacABputC was present in C. jejuni but not in Campylobacter coli. The MPCs identified in C. jejuni 81-176 membrane are involved in protein folding, molecule trafficking, oxidative phosphorylation, membrane structuration, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, motility and chemotaxis, stress signaling, efflux pumps and virulence.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Wheat grain avenin-like proteins (ALPs) belong to a recently discovered class of wheat grain storage protein. ALPs in wheat grains not only have beneficial effects on dough quality but also display antifungal activities, which is a novel observation for wheat storage proteins. Previous studies have shown that ALPs are likely present in the albumin/globulin fractions of total protein extract from wheat flour. However, the accumulation characteristics of these ALPs in the mature wheat grain remains unknown. RESULTS:In the present study, a total of 13 ALPs homologs were isolated and characterized in the albumin/globulin fractions of the wheat protein extract. A combination of multiple techniques including RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE, MALDI-TOF and peptide sequencing were used for accurate separation and identification of individual ALP homolog. The C-terminal TaALP-by-4AL/7DS, TaALP-by-4AL/7AS/7DS, TaALP-bx/4AL/7AS/7DS, TaALP-ay-7DS, TaALP-ay-4AL, TaALP-ax-4AL, TaALP-ax-7AS, and TaALP-ax-7DS, were separated as individual protein bands from wheat flour for the first time. These unique ALPs peptides were mapped to the latest wheat genome assembly in the IWGSC database. The characteristic defence related proteins present in albumin and globulin fractions, such as protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI), grain softness protein (GSP), alpha-amylase inhibitors (AAIs) and endogenous alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor were also found to co-segregate with these identified ALPs, avenin-3 and α-gliadins. The molecular weight range and the electrophoresis segregation properties of ALPs were characterised in comparison with the proteins containing the tryp_alpha_amyl domain (PF00234) and the gliadin domain (PF13016), which play a role in plant immunity and grain quality. We examined the phylogenetic relationships of the AAIs, GSP, avenin-3, α-gliadins and ALPs, based on the alignment of their functional domains. MALDI-TOF profiling indicated the occurrence of certain post-translations modifications (PTMs) in some ALP subunits. CONCLUSIONS:We reported for the first time the complete profiling of ALPs present in the albumin/globulin fractions of wheat grain protein extracts. We concluded that majority of the ALPs homologs are expressed in wheat grains. We found clear evidence of PTMs in several ALPs peptides. The identification of both gliadin domain (PF13016) and Tryp_alpha_amyl domain (PF00234) in the mature forms of ALPs highlighted the multiple functional properties of ALPs in grain quality and disease resistance.

Project description:Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seed proteins show a lot of functional properties leading this legume to be an interesting component for the development of protein-enriched foods. However, both the in-depth proteomic investigation and structural characterization of chickpea seed proteins are still lacking. In this paper a detailed characterization of chickpea seed protein fraction by means of SDS-PAGE, in-gel protein digestion, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and database searching is reported. Through this approach, twenty SDS gel bands were cut and analyzed. While the majority of the bands and the identified peptides were related to vicilin and legumin storage proteins, metabolic functional proteins were also detected. Legumins, as expected, were revealed at 45-65 kDa, as whole subunits with the α- and β-chains linked together by a disulphide bond, but also at lower mass ranges (α- and β-chains migrating alone). Similarly, but not expected, the vicilins were also spread along the mass region between 65 and 23 kDa, with some of them being identified in several bands. An MS structural characterization allowed to determine that, although chickpea vicilins were always described as proteins lacking cysteine residues, they contain this amino acid residue. Moreover, similar to legumins, these storage proteins are firstly synthesized as pre-propolypeptides (Mr 50-80 kDa) that may undergo proteolytic steps that not only cut the signal peptides but also produce different subunits with lower molecular masses. Overall, about 360 different proteins specific of the Cicer arietinum L. species were identified and characterized, a result that, up to the current date, represents the most detailed description of the seed proteome of this legume.

Project description:Migration on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) that does not correlate with formula molecular weights, termed "gel shifting," appears to be common for membrane proteins but has yet to be conclusively explained. In the present work, we investigate the anomalous gel mobility of helical membrane proteins using a library of wild-type and mutant helix-loop-helix ("hairpin") sequences derived from transmembrane segments 3 and 4 of the human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), including disease-phenotypic residue substitutions. We find that these hairpins migrate at rates of -10% to +30% vs. their actual formula weights on SDS-PAGE and load detergent at ratios ranging from 3.4-10 g SDS/g protein. We additionally demonstrate that mutant gel shifts strongly correlate with changes in hairpin SDS loading capacity (R(2) = 0.8), and with hairpin helicity (R(2) = 0.9), indicating that gel shift behavior originates in altered detergent binding. In some cases, this differential solvation by SDS may result from replacing protein-detergent contacts with protein-protein contacts, implying that detergent binding and folding are intimately linked. The CF-phenotypic V232D mutant included in our library may thus disrupt CFTR function via altered protein-lipid interactions. The observed interdependence between hairpin migration, SDS aggregation number, and conformation additionally suggests that detergent binding may provide a rapid and economical screen for identifying membrane proteins with robust tertiary and/or quaternary structures.

Project description:The aim of present study was to determine liquid egg adulteration based on yolk:white ratio of egg using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by measuring Brix. To construct a calibration model, liquid egg samples were prepared by mixing egg yolk and white (yolk:white) at different concentrations. A high coefficient of determination value (R 2?=?0.992) was obtained. Limit of detection and limit of quantification were estimated as 62 g/kg and 187 g/kg. The accuracy of the model was tested using eleven LWE samples, and the yolk ratios of 90.9% of these samples were predicted successfully. Liquid whole egg (LWE) containing additional egg white up to 30% was also predicted with a low relative error of less than 10%. Yolk:white ratio of LWE samples and authentication of the components of LWE (containing extra white or water) can be determined using proposed method.

Project description:Most proteins are in equilibrium with partially and globally unfolded conformations. In contrast, kinetically stable proteins (KSPs) are trapped by an energy barrier in a specific state, unable to transiently sample other conformations. Among many potential roles, it appears that kinetic stability (KS) is a feature used by nature to allow proteins to maintain activity under harsh conditions and to preserve the structure of proteins that are prone to misfolding. The biological and pathological significance of KS remains poorly understood because of the lack of simple experimental methods to identify this property and its infrequent occurrence in proteins. Based on our previous correlation between KS and a protein's resistance to the denaturing detergent SDS, we show here the application of a diagonal 2D (D2D) SDS/PAGE assay to identify KSPs in complex mixtures. We applied this method to the lysate of Escherichia coli and upon proteomics analysis have identified 50 nonredundant proteins that were SDS-resistant (i.e., kinetically stable). Structural and functional analyses of a subset (44) of these proteins with known 3D structure revealed some potential structural and functional biases toward and against KS. This simple D2D SDS/PAGE assay will allow the widespread investigation of KS, including the proteomics-level identification of KSPs in different systems, potentially leading to a better understanding of the biological and pathological significance of this intriguing property of proteins.

Project description:Monoclonal antibodies and derived fragments are used extensively both experimentally and therapeutically. Thorough characterization of such antibodies is necessary and includes assessment of their thermal and storage stabilities. Thus, assessment of the underlying conformational stabilities of the antibodies is also important. We recently documented that non-reducing SDS-PAGE can be used to assess both monoclonal and polyclonal IgG domain thermal unfolding in SDS. Utilizing this same h2E2 anti-cocaine mAb, in this study we generated and analyzed various mAb antibody fragments to delineate the structural domains of the antibody responsible for the observed discrete bands following various heating protocols and analysis by non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Previously, these domain unfolding transitions and gel bands were hypothesized to stem from known mAb structural domains based on the relative thermal stability of those CH2, CH3, and Fab domains in the absence of SDS, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry. In this study, we generated and analyzed F(ab')2, Fab, and Fc fragments, as well as a mAb consisting of only heavy chains, and examined the thermally induced domain unfolding in each of these fragments by non-reducing SDS-PAGE. The results were interpreted and integrated to generate an improved model of thermal unfolding for the mAb IgG in SDS. These results and the model presented should be generally applicable to many monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies and allow novel comparisons of conformational stabilities between chemically or genetically modified versions of a given antibody. Such modified antibodies and antibody drug conjugates are commonly utilized and important for experimental and therapeutic applications.

Project description:Factor I (FI) is an essential regulator of the complement system. Together with co-factors, FI degrades C3b, which inhibits further complement activation. Genetic mutations in FI are associated with pathological conditions like age-related macular degeneration and atypical hemolytic uremic syndome. Here, we evaluated eight recombinant FI genetic variants found in patients. We assessed FI's co-factor activity in the presence of two co-factors; Factor H and soluble CR1. Different analytical assays were employed; SDS-PAGE to evaluate the degradation of C3b, ELISA to measure the generation of fluid phase iC3b and the degradation of surface-bound C3b using a novel Luminex bead-based assay. We demonstrate that mutations in the FIMAC and SP domains of FI led to significantly reduced protease activity, whereas the two analyzed mutations in the LDLRA2 domain did not result in any profound changes in FI's function. The different assays employed displayed a strong positive correlation, but differences in the activity of the genetic variants Ile55Phe and Gly261Asp could only be observed by combining different methods and co-factors for evaluating FI activity. In conclusion, our results provide a new perspective regarding available diagnostic tools for assessing the impact of mutations in FI.
