Proteomic profiling of thermal acclimation in Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT: Proteomic response of adult Drosophila melanogaster acclimated at three contrasted thermal conditions (11, 25 and 31 degree Celsius) investigated by 2D-DIGE experiment. Thermal acclimation drastically alters thermotolerance of ectotherms, but the mechanisms determining this plastic response are not fully understood. The present study investigates the proteomic response (2D-DIGE) of adult Drosophila melanogaster acclimated at 11, 25 or 31 °C. As expected 11 °C-acclimation improved cold tolerance and 31 °C-acclimation improved heat tolerance. We hypothesized that the marked organismal responses to acclimation could be detected at the proteomic level assuming that changes in the abundance of specific proteins are linked to the physiological changes underlying the phenotypic response. The 31 °C-acclimated flies displayed a particular divergent proteomic profile where molecular chaperones made up a large number of the proteins that were modulated during heat acclimation. Many other proteins showed significant modulation during acclimation including proteins involved in iron ion and cell redox homeostasis, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, chromatin remodeling and translation, and contractile machinery. Interestingly the changes in protein abundance were often unrelated to transcriptional activity of the genes coding for the proteins, except for the most strongly expressed proteins (e.g. Hsp70). The 11 °C-acclimation evoked weak proteomic response despite the marked effect on the organismal phenotype. Thus the acquired cold tolerance observed here may involve regulatory process such as posttranslational regulation rather than de novo protein synthesis. Bioinformatics and data processing: The proteinScape 2.1 software (BrukerDaltonik GmbH) was used to submit MS/MS data to the following database: NCBI restricted to Drosophila (June 2011, 223,543 sequences) using the Mascot search engine (Mascot server v2.2, http://www.matrixscience.com). Parameters were set as follows: trypsin as enzyme with one allowed miscleavage, carbamidomethylation of cysteins as fixed modification and methionine oxidation as variable modifications. The mass tolerance for parent and fragment ions was set to 0.5 Da. Peptide identifications were accepted if the individual ion Mascot scores were above the identity threshold (the ion score is −10*log(P), where P is the probability that the observed match is a random event, P < 0.05). In case of ambiguous assignments (one compound fit to more than one peptide), peptide were accepted based on the peptide score, meaning that the peptide sequence with the highest score is accepted. The compilation of identified peptides to proteins was performed with the ProteinExtractor algorithm (Thiele et al., 2008, 2010), so that every protein reported was identified by at least one peptide with significant ion Mascot score (above the identity threshold).

Project description:Intertidal zone organisms can experience transient freezing temperatures during winter low tides, but their extreme cold tolerance mechanisms are not known. Petrolisthes cinctipes is a temperate mid-high intertidal zone crab species that can experience wintertime habitat temperatures below the freezing point of seawater. We examined how cold tolerance changed during the initial phase of thermal acclimation to cold and warm temperatures, as well as the persistence of cold tolerance during long-term thermal acclimation. Thermal acclimation for as little as 6 hours at 8˚C enhanced crab tolerance during a 1h exposure to -2°C relative to crabs acclimated to 18˚C. Potential mechanisms for this enhanced tolerance were elucidated using cDNA microarrays to probe for differences in gene expression in cardiac tissue of warm and cold acclimated crabs during the first day of thermal acclimation. No changes in gene expression were detected until 12h of thermal acclimation. Genes strongly upregulated in warm acclimated crabs represented immune response and extracellular / intercellular processes, suggesting that warm acclimated crabs had a generalized stress response and may have been remodelling tissues or altering intercellular processes. Genes strongly upregulated in cold acclimated crabs included many that are involved in glucose production suggesting that cold acclimation involves increasing intracellular glucose as a cryoprotectant. Structural cytoskeletal proteins were also strongly represented among the genes upregulated in only cold acclimated crabs. There were no consistent changes in composition or the level of unsaturation of membrane phospholipid fatty acids with cold acclimation, which suggests that neither short- nor long-term changes in cold tolerance are mediated by changes in membrane fatty acid composition. Overall, our study demonstrates that initial changes in cold tolerance are likely not regulated by transcriptomic responses, but that gene expression-related changes in homeostasis begin within 12 hours – the length of a tidal cycle. all array data and raw images archived at the Porcelain Crab Array Database (http://array.sfsu.edu)

Project description:Comparative phosphoproteomic analysis of checkpoint recovery identifies new regulators of the DNA damage response. How cells recover from a DNA damage-induced arrest is currently poorly understood. We have performed large-scale quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify changes in protein phosphorylation that occur during recovery from a G2 arrest. We identified 154 proteins that were differentially phosphorylated in multiple experiments. Systematic depletion of each of these differentially phosphorylated proteins by siRNA identified at least 10 potential regulators of recovery. Data processing and bioinformatics: Raw data were converted to single DTA files using DTA SuperCharge and merged into Mascot Generic Format (MGF) files, which were searched using an in-house licensed Mascot v2.2 search engine against Human Swissprot 56.2 database concatenated with reversed sequences as decoy (containing 40656 sequences, 20328 forward sequences). Carbamidomethyl cysteine and oxidized methionines were set as fixed modifications; serine, threonine, and tyrosine phosphorylations were set as variable modifications; quantification was set with dimethyl double mode. The mass tolerance of the precursor ion was 10 ppm and 0.9 Da for fragment ions. The false discovery rate (FDR) was determined as < 1% (Mascot score threshold of 31) using the decoy database approach and the MGF files were trimmed at Mascot score threshold of 31 (1% FDR) by RockerBox. MSQuant v1.5 was used to quantitate the amounts of the identified phosphopeptides and determine the exact phosphorylation site within the peptide. Every phosphopeptide quantitation was manually validated; peptides with low signal:noise ratios, low number of MS scans, or overlapping peaks were not included for quantitative purposes. Histogram plots of the ratio of whole quantified peptides in each experiment were used to normalize the ratios. A program to extract information from MSQuant output was developed in-house to identify the position of each phosphorylation site and its status in current available databases (Phospho ELM and SwissProt). Panther Classification System was used to classify proteins with regulated phosphopeptides. NetworKIN was used to predict in vivo kinases for the phosphosites.

Project description:During cold acclimation plants increase their freezing tolerance in response to low non-freezing temperatures. This is accompanied by many physiological, biochemical and molecular changes that have been extensively investigated. In addition, many cold acclimated plants become more freezing tolerant during exposure to mild, non-damaging sub-zero temperatures. There is hardly any information available about the molecular basis of this adaptation. However, Arabidopsis thaliana is among the species that acclimate to sub-zero temperatures. This makes it possible to use the molecular and genetic tools available in this species to identify components of sub-zero signal transduction and acclimation. Here, we have used microarrays and a qRT-PCR primer platform covering 1880 genes encoding transcription factors to monitor changes in gene expression in the accessions Columbia-0, Rschew and Tenela during the first three days of sub-zero acclimation at -3°C. The results indicate that gene expression during sub-zero acclimation follows a tighly controlled time-course. Especially AP2/EREBP and WRKY transcription factors may be important regulators of sub-zero acclimation, although the CBF signal transduction pathway seems to be less important during sub-zero than during cold acclimation. Globally, we estimate that approximately 5% of all Arabidopsis genes are regulated during sub-zero acclimation. Particularly photosynthesis-related genes were down-regulated and genes belonging to the functional classes of cell wall biosynthesis, hormone metabolism and RNA regulation of transcription were up-regulated. Collectively, these data provide the first global analysis of gene expression during sub-zero acclimation and allow the identification of candidate genes for forward and reverse genetic studies into the molecular mechanisms of sub-zero acclimation. We used whole genome microarrays to monitor changes in gene expression in the Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Columbia-0, Rschew and Tenela during three days of acclimation to sub-zero temperature at -3°C after cold acclimation Plants from Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Columbia-0, Rschew and Tenela were cold acclimated at 4°C for two weeks. Detached leaves were then sub-zero acclimated at -3°C for 8 h, 1 d or 3 d at -3°C. Leaves of cold acclimated plants and sub-zero acclimated leaves were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix ATH1 microarrays in order to explore temporal transcriptome changes during sub-zero acclimation. For each sample total RNA was isolated from a pool of three leaves from three different plants. The experiment was performed in three idenpendent biological replicates.
