Project description:To identify substrates of the ubiquitinating E3 enzyme Rsp5 we applied purified Rsp5 to duplicate protein arrays. The Rsp proteins were expressed as fusion proteins to GST. We used as a control Ubr1, a RING domain containing E3 ligase We analyzed Rsp5 from S.cerevisiae on duplicate arrays, with four control chips, two without Rsp5 and two with Ubr1.

Project description:Chlorophyll plays critical roles in photosynthetic light harvesting, energy transduction and plant development. In this study, a novel wucai (Brassica campestris L.) germplasm with green outer leaves and yellow inner leaves at the adult stage (W7-2) was used to examine chlorophyll metabolism response to cold acclimation. A green leaf wucai genotype without leaf color changes named W7-1 was selected as the control to evaluate the chlorophyll metabolism changes of W7-2. Compared to W7-1, the contents of chlorophyll a (Chl a) and chlorophyll b (Chl b) in W7-2 were significantly reduced at five developmental stages (13, 21, 29, 37 and 45 days after planting (DAP). An iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis was carried out at 21 and 29 DAP according to the leaf color changes in both of genotypes. A total of 1409 proteins were identified, of which 218 showed differential accumulations between W7-2 and W7-1 during the two developmental stages.

Project description:An intergenic region found to be enriched from a genomic library under butyrate stress was overexpressed and challenged with butyrate (0.6%). The overexpression strain was compared to the plasmid control to determine the transcriptional changes due to overexpression and butyrate stress. RNA samples were taken from both the overexpression strain (pRDNA7) and the plasmid control strain (pSOS95del) at 0, 15, 40, 120, 240, and 360 min post a 0.6% butyrate (pH 6.7) stress. Two slides per timepoint were hybridized on a dye swap configuration.
Project description:Measure the relative changes of gene expression upon GIS2 overexpression; 100 ml of BY4741 cells bearing plasmid pBG1805-Gis2 (GIS2 under the control of the galactose promotor) or the empty plasmid pBG1805 (=control) were grown in synthetic medium lacking uracil (SC-Ura supplemented with 2% raffinose) at 30 degrees to an OD600 of 0.45- 0.5. Expression of GIS2 was induced with 2% galactose for 1.5 h and cells were harvested by centrifugation, washed twice with 800 ul of ice-cold sterile water. 100 ul (1/8) of cells were removed and RNA was isolated by hot phenol extraction for microarray analysis. 6.7 ug of total RNA derived from cells expressing the empty vector (pBG1805) or Gis2p (pBG1805-Gis) were reverse transcribed in the presence of 5-(3-aminoallyl)-dUTP and natural dNTPs with a mixture of N9 and dT20V primers, and cDNAs were covalently linked to Cy3 and Cy5 NHS-monoesters (GE HealthSciences Cat# RPN5661), respectively, and competitively hybridized on yeast oligo arrays at 42 degrees celsius for 14 hours in formamide-based hybridization buffer. Microarrays were scanned with an Axonscanner 4200 (Molecular Devices) and analyzed with GenePix Pro 5.1 (Molecular devices). Biological Replicate
Project description:The endothelium is the frontline target of multiple metabolic stressors and pharmacological agents. As a consequence, endothelial cells (ECs) display highly dynamic and diverse proteome profiles. We describe here the culture of human aortic ECs from healthy and type 2 diabetic donors, the treatment with a small molecular conformation of trans-resveratrol and hesperetin (tRES+HESP), followed by proteomic analysis of whole-cell lysate. A number of 3666 proteins were presented in all the samples and thus further analyzed. We found that 179 proteins had a significant difference between diabetic ECs vs. healthy ECs, while 81 proteins had a significant change upon the treatment of tRES+HESP in diabetic ECs. Among them, 16 proteins showed a difference between diabetic ECs and healthy ECs and the difference was reversed by the tRES+HESP treatment, with the top 5 drastically altered proteins being ACVRL1, ADAM9, ITGAV, PCCB, and TGFBR2. Follow-up functional assays identified ACVRL1 and TGFBR2 as the most pronounced mediator for tRES+HESP-induced protection of angiogenesis in vitro. Our study has revealed the global changes in proteins and biological pathways in ECs from diabetic donors, which are potentially reversible by the tRES+HESP formula. Furthermore, we have identified the TGFβ signaling axis as a responding mechanism in ECs treated with this formula, shedding light for future studies for deeper molecular characterization
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE18023: Mice with FIA develop anti-native and anti-in vitro citrullinated fibrinogen antibodies GSE18024: FIA plasma induces arthritis in naïve mice GSE18025: Fibrinogen-reactive T cells transfer disease to naïve mice Refer to individual Series
Project description:Plasma collected from mice with FIA were pooled, and 0.3 ml was injected intravenously into 6-week-old naïve SJL mice on days 0 and 2. Synovial antigen array profiling of plasma from the arthritic recipient mice demonstrated autoreactive B-cell responses against peptides representing native fibrinogen and citrullinated fibrinogen, and further epitope spreading resulting in additional targeting of fibronectin, collagen type V, cartilage gp39, and clusterin. Custom-spotted protein slides were probed with plasma samples from individual mice. Four slides were probed with plasma derived from naïve mice and four slides were probed with plasma derived from mice injected with FIA plasma.
