Cervico-Vaginal mucus proteins of buffalo

ABSTRACT: Cervico-vaginal fluid (CVF) plays significant roles in coitus, sperm transport and implantation. It is believed to be a good non-invasive biomarker for various diagnostic purposes. In this study, a comprehensive proteomic analysis of buffalo CVF was performed during the estrous cycle in order to document the protein expressions, utilizing SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, and immunoblot.Xcalibur software (version 2.0. SR1) was used for analyzing the mass spectrometry data. Product ion scans gathered from tandem mass spectrometry were involved in the database search software SEQUEST (TURBO) (http://sjsupport.thermofinnigan.com/project/product_support/xcal_layered_apps_turbosequest.htm). Peak lists were created from the products in the scan data (threshold set to 10,000) and these were searched against the mammalian protein sequence database from NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Modification of cysteine by carboxymethylation and methionine by oxidation modifications was allowed. The mass tolerance for the precursor peptide ions was set to 3.5 and the fragment ion tolerance was set to 1. Singly charged, doubly charged and triply charged peptides have higher cross-correlation score viz., 1.9, 2.2 and 3.75, respectively, which give high confidence in terms of protein identification. More than two unique peptides for each protein were taken for confirmation of the protein present in the sample.

Cervico-vaginal fluid (CVF) plays significant roles in coitus, sperm transport, and implantation. It is believed to be a good noninvasive biomarker for various diagnostic purposes. In this study, a comprehensive proteomic analysis of buffalo CVF was performed during the estrous cycle in order to document the protein expressions, utilizing SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, and immunoblot. The main objective was to screen the CVF of buffalo for one or more estrus-specific proteins. A total of 416 prote ...[more]

Project description:Mtb was grown as either an actively growing normal culture or as a hypoxia-induced dormant culture. Whole cell lysates of live bacteria were obtained by mechanical disruption with silica beads. ATP-binding proteins were covalently labeled with desthiobiotin-tagged ATP (ActivX, Thermo Pierce). This chemoproteomic approach profiled the ATP-binding proteins present in either metabolic state. Labeled proteins were enriched via streptavidin affinity chromatography, digested with trypsin and subjected to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the identification of proteins containing a desthiobiotin modification of lysine (K +196 Da). Differential abundance of nucleotide binding proteins between the two growth conditions were quantified using label-free spectral counting and normalized spectral abundance factors (NSAF). DATABASE SEARCHING: Tandem mass spectra were extracted, charge state deconvoluted and deisotoped by Xcalibur version 2.2 SP1. All MS/MS samples were analyzed using Mascot (Matrix Science, London, UK; version 2.3.02) and SEQUEST (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA; version v.27, rev. 11). Mascot and SEQUEST were set up to search the MtbReverse041712 database (7992 entries) assuming the digestion enzyme Trypsin. Parameters for both search engines were set to a fragment ion mass tolerance of 1.0 Da and a parent ion tolerance of 2.5 Da. Oxidation of methionine, iodoacetamide derivative of cysteine and the desthiobiotin modification of lysine were specified in Mascot and SEQUEST as variable modifications. PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION AND LABEL-FREE QUANTITATION-- Scaffold (version Scaffold_3.6.1, Proteome Software Inc., Portland, OR) was used to validate MS/MS based peptide and protein identifications. Peptide identifications were accepted if they exceeded specific database search engine thresholds. Mascot identifications required ion scores to be greater than the associated identity scores and 50, 65, 65 and 65 for singly, doubly, triply and quadruply charged peptides. SEQUEST identifications required deltaCn scores of greater than 0.2 and XCorr scores of greater than 1.8, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 for singly, doubly, triply and quadruply charged peptides. Proteins identifications were accepted if they contained at least one identified peptide in at least two biological replicates. Peptide spectra meeting the most minimum requirement were manually inspected for quality. Quantification of proteins was performed on normalized spectral abundance factors for each protein (NSAF). BLAST-BASED SEQUENCE DESCRIPTION: The most relevant description for each of the sequences was acquired based on the significant BLAST results. The homologs for the sequences were retrieved using the Blastp algorithm and the nonredundant database of NCBI. The Blast2GO suite was used. GENE ONTOLOGY ANNOTATION: The Pfam domains were mapped to Gene Ontology (GO) terms using the lookup table provided by Pfam2go (http://www.geneontology.org/external2go/pfam2go). An in-house script was written to retrieve GO annotations based on the root term as "molecular function" and their distance from the root term. PFAM DOMAIN-BASED ANNOTATION: The InterPro and Pfam IDs corresponding to the GO term "ATP binding" (GO ID:0005524) were retrieved using the QuickGO (www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/<http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/>) and InterPro BioMart web services (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/biomart/martview). The ATP-binding associated domains were queried against the ATP-binding proteome data sets according to spectral quality (high, medium, low confidence). Their Pfam and InterPro descriptions, were identified using the InterProscan Web service, which was accessed via the Pipeline Pilot (Accelrys) implementation in the sequence analysis collection.

Project description:In this project, we aim to pair-wise analyze the genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes of in-bred rats originating from two different genetic backgrounds. These two strains are Brown Norway (BN-Lx) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR). First, we re-sequenced the genomes for both BN and SHR rats, followed by RNA-seq and proteomics of their liver tissues. We then append novel predicted gene models, non-synonymous SNPs and INDELs (derived from genome re-sequencing), as well as transcript variants such as RNA-editing and alternative splicing (derived from RNA-seq) that can diversify existing protein sequences onto the ENSEMBL rat FASTA (Build 68) to build an enhanced database. For proteomics studies, equal amount of liver lysates were digested with trypsin, LysC, GluC, AspN and chymotrypsin and were individually fractionated with strong cationic exchange chromatography. Doubly- and triply-charged fractions were analyzed with an Triple-TOF 5600 with collision-activated dissociation (CAD); while electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) was applied for fractions containing triple charges and above with a LTQ-Orbitrap Velos. Data analysis: Peak List generation: For Wiff files generated from TripleTOF 5600, tandem MS spectra were de-isotoped, charge- deconvoluted and peak lists converted to Mascot generic format (MGF) files using AB Sciex Data Converter (version 1.1). For data generated from the LTQ-Orbitrap Velos, Raw files were converted to MGF files using Proteome Discoverer (version 1.3). The non-fragment filter was used to simplify ETD spectra and the Top N filter for the HCD spectra. Three MGF files were generated (one for HCD, one for ETD IT and one for ETD FT). The files with an orbitrap readout were deisotoped and charge de-convoluted. Database Searching: All MGF files were queried with Mascot search engine (version 2.3) via Proteome Discoverer version 1.3 (PD 1.3, Thermo Fisher) for submission. The spectra were searched against in-house database (NGS_COMBINED). One of the five different enzymes used (Trypsin/P, LysC/P, Chymotrypsin, GluC-DE and AspN_ambic) were selected for each file and up to 9 missed cleavages were allowed. Cysteine carbamidomethylation was set as fixed modification, and oxidation of methionine and acetylation of the N-term as variable modifications. Peptide tolerance was initially set to 50 ppm and the MS/MS tolerance was set to 0.1 Da (for TOF readout), 0.02 Da (orbitrap readout) and 0.5 Da (ion trap readout). All peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) were evaluated with Percolator for validation. We classified each PSM based on their q value. For proteins identification, we used set a high stringency filter of q = 0 (0% FDR). For peaks lists that do not yield any peptide matches, we exported them with PD 1.3 for further analysis. De novo search with PEAKS: Unassigned peak lists that are exported were re-analyzed with another software suite i.e. PEAKS Studio (version 6.0). The identification workflows is as follows. Peak lists were first filtered with a quality value of 0.65 as suggested by the manufacturer followed by de novo spectra interpretation. In this step, both peptide tolerance and MS/MS tolerance were set according to MASCOT search. To broaden the search space for these unassigned spectra, we additionally set de-amidation of asparagine and glutamine, and pyro-glu from glutamic acid and glutamine as variable modifications, on top of the other modifications indicated above. Maximum allowed variable PTM per peptide was set to 3. Finally de novo interpreted PSMs were submitted to PEAKS DB database matching, this time allowing semi-enzymatic specificity and a maximum cleavages per peptide of 2. Database used was set to NGS_COMBINED. FDR was estimated using decoy-fusion. The genomics and transcriptomics data are already deposited in the respective EBI repositories. Some of these data are derived from an already published manuscript.
