Comparative (phospho)proteomic profiling of wheat shoots from different cultivars
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Wheat is a cereal grain and one of the world’s major food crops. Recent advances in wheat genome sequencing are by now facilitating genomic and proteomic analyses of this crop. However, little is known about the protein levels of hexaploid versus tetraploid wheat cultivars, and knowledge on phosphorylated proteins still limited. Using our recently established (phospho)proteomic workflow, we performed a parallel analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome on seedling leaves from two hexaploid wheat cultivars (Pavon 76 and USU-Apogee) and a tetraploid wheat (Senatore Cappelli). This revealed that a large portion of proteins and phosphosites can be quantified in all cultivars. Our shotgun proteomics data revealed a high similarity between hexaploid and tetraploid varieties with respect to protein abundance. However, we could identify a set of proteins that were differentially abundant between hexaploid and tetraploid cultivars. In addition, already at seedling stage, a small set of proteins were differential between the small (USU-Apogee) and larger hexaploid wheat cultivar (Pavon 76), which could potentially act as growth predictors. Finally, the phosphosites identified in this study can be retrieved from the in-house developed plant PTM-Viewer (bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/webtools/ptm_viewer/), making this the first repository for phosphorylated wheat proteins. This paves the way for further in depth, quantitative (phospho)proteome-wide differential analyses upon a specific trigger or environmental change.
