<h4>Background</h4>Cryptosporidium andersoni initiates infection by releasing sporozoites from oocysts through excystation. However, the proteins involved in excystation are unknown. Determining the proteins that participate in the excystation of C. andersoni oocysts will increase our understanding of the excystation process.<h4>Methods</h4>Cryptosporidium andersoni oocysts were collected and purified from the feces of naturally infected adult cows. Tandem mass tags (TMT), coupled with liquid ch ...[more]

Project description:Fungal infections, especially for candidiasis and aspergillosis, claim an unacceptably high fatality. However, the determining mechanism that promote fungal lethal infections are still elusive. The energy ATP necessary for fungal cell growth and function is synthesized mainly through oxidative phosphorylation, whose key enzyme is F1Fo-ATP synthase. Nonetheless, it remians unknown how this enzyme affects fungal pathogenicity. Here we show that F1Fo-ATP synthase subunit deletion completely abrogates C. albicans lethal infection rather than leading to remarkable intracellular ATP concentration and growth defect. Mechanically, subunit deletion reduces PFK1 activity via interrupting PFK1 phosphorylation to trigger its conformational change, decreases downstream FBP level, blocks Ras1-dependent and -independent cAMP-PKA pathway, and curtails virulence factors. Based on these findings, we engineer a small molecule compound aimed at subunit that effectively protects mice from succumbing to invasive candidiasis. In summary, our findings reveal that F1Fo-ATP synthase δ subunit determines the lethal infection of pathogenic fungi and represents a potential new therapeutic target.

Project description:Aberrant regulation of angiogenesis involves in the growth and metastasis of tumors, but angiogenesis inhibitors fail to improve overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients in previous phase III clinical trials. A comprehensive knowledge of the mechanism of angiogenesis inhibitors against pancreatic cancer is helpful for clinical purpose and for the selection of patients who might benefit from the inhibitors. In this work, multi-omics analyses (transcriptomics, proteomics and phosphoproteomics profiling) were carried to delineate the mechanism of anlotinib, a novel angiogenesis inhibitor, against pancreatic cancer cells.

Project description:Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, most of which are caused by atherosclerosis. Discerning processes that participate in macrophage-to-foam cell formation are critical for understanding the basic mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis. To explore the molecular mechanisms of foam cell formation, the differentially expressed proteins were identified. Methods: In this paper, human monocytes, macrophage colony-stimulating factor induced macrophages, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein induced foam cells were cultured, and tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling combined with mass spectrometry (MS) were performed to find associations between foam cell transformation and proteome profiles. Results: Totally, 5146 quantifiable proteins were identified, among which 1515 and 182 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in macrophage/monocyte and foam cell/macrophage, respectively, using a cutoff of 1.5-fold change. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that downregulated DEPs of macrophages/monocytes were mostly located in the nucleus and upregulated DEPs of foam cells/macrophages mostly located in the plasma membrane and extracellular. Functional analysis of DEPs demonstrated that cholesterol metabolism related proteins were upregulated in foam cells, whereas the immune response-related proteins were downregulated in foam cells. The protein-interaction network showed that the DEPs with the highest interaction intensity between macrophages and foam cells were mainly concentrated in lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. Conclusions: This study for the first time to perform quantitative proteomic investigation by TMT labeling and LC-MS/MS to identify differentially expressed proteins in human monocyte, macrophage, and foam cell. The results confirmed cholesterol metabolism was upregulated in foam cells, while immune response was suppressed, which suggested that foam cells were not the population that promote inflammation. In addition, KEGG enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction indicated that the differentially expressed proteins locating in the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes may be key targets to regulate foam cell formation. These data provide a basis for identifying the potential proteins associated with the molecular mechanism involved in the transformation of macrophages to foam cells.

Project description:Ovarian follicular atresia is a natural physiological process, but its mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, a quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic of granulosa cell (GC) in the healthy (H), slightly atretic (SA), and atretic follicles (A) of porcine were performed by TMT labeling, enrichment of phosphopeptides and LC-MS/MS analysis. Altogether, 6,201 proteins were quantified, and 4,723 phosphorylation sites of 1,760 proteins were quantified. There are 24 (11 up, 13 down) and 50 (29 up, 21 down) proteins with FC>5 in H/SA and H/A, respectively. In addition, there are 20 (H/SA, up) and 39 (H/A, up) phosphosites with FC>7, which could serve as potential biomarkers to distinguish different quality categories of follicles. The results of western blotting and immunofluorescence indicated the reliability of the proteomic analysis. Further analysis of the differential expressed proteins (DEPs) and phosphorylated proteins (DEPPs) revealed some key proteins (e.g. MIF, beta catenin, integrin β2), key phosphosites (e.g. S76 of Caspase6, S22 and S636 of Lamin A/C), pathways (e.g. apoptosis, regulation of actin cytoskeleton pathway), transcription factors (e.g. STAT5A, FOXO1, BCLAF1), and kinases (e.g. PBK, CDK5, CDK12, AKT3) that involved in atresia process. Our proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling and functional research comprehensively analyze the dynamic changes of protein expression and phosphorylation during follicular atresia, and gave a new explanation for the regulation of this process.

Project description:In previous work, cephalotaxine, harringtonine, homoharringtonine were shown to be accumulated differentially after various stimuli. Especially, after MeJA treatment, the concentration of 3 cephalotaxus alkaloids all showed decreasing. We speculated that the genes expressed lower after MeJA treatment might encode some enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of cephalotaxus alkaloids. Therefore, choosing the sample treated with MeJA and the control sample for comparative iTRAQ analysis will greatly facilitate dissection of the genes involved in the biosynthesis of cephalotaxus alkaloids and even the acyl portions of cephalotaxus ester alkaloids. This approach is widely used for mining and identifying novel genes in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites without genome data in plants.

Project description:We obtained the profiles of neuronal phosphoproteome after cerebral ischemia onset by isolating mice hippocampus. Hippocampus combined from either ten sham or ten focal cerebral ischemia 2 h mice were lysed, digested, labeled with different TMT tags, then pooled and analyzed by LC/LC-MS/MS. Five percent of the pool was used for whole proteome analysis, and the remaining 95% was subjected to phosphoproteome profiling. In total, we quantified 5,174 proteins and 9,062 phosphopeptides. Interesting, 21 proteins were upregulated and 7 proteins were downregulated in hippocampus lysates of cerebral ischemia 2 h relative to sham base on fold change. S100a9, Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (Ahsg), Fibrinogen beta chain (Fga) and Complement Component C3(c3) are the top significantly changed, which were highly consistent with previous reports in cerebral ischemia injury. Using wolfpsort software to analysis the Subcellular Location, 57% of detected proteins were location to extracellular, 15% were cytoplasmic protein, another 11% were transport to nucleus, and the others were location to plasma membranes (10%), mitochondria (4%) and endoplasmic reticulum (3%). Moreover,184 phosphorylation sites of 135 proteins were upregulated and 689 phosphorylation sites of 420 proteins were downregulated in hippocampus during cerebral ischemia 2 h compare with sham operation. Employing wolfpsort software analysis the subcellular location, 50% of phosphorylated proteins were location to nucleus, 26% were cytoplasmic protein, another 16% were transport to plasma membranes, and the others were location to mitochondria (4%), extracellular (3%) and cytoskeleton (1%). Motif analysis showed that 85% were belongs to serine-type phosphorylation, about 14 were threonine-type phosphorylation and 1% were tyrosine-type phosphorylation.

Project description:Amino acids (AA) are essential molecules for life because they are precursors for the synthesis of proteins and other organic compounds. Their metabolism in plants involves more than one cellular compartment, among which the chloroplast plays a key role. From the 20 essential AA, ten (Arg, Lys, Thr, Leu, Ile, Val, Trp, Phe, Tyr and His) are only synthesized in the plastids and seven (Asp, Cys, Gln, Glu, Gly, Ser and Met) can be synthesized in both chloroplast and other parts of the cell. Despite knowing the roles of AA in plant physiology, little has been assessed in plants with albino phenotypes, lacking chloroplasts. To assess the effect of chloroplast biogenesis disturbances on AA metabolism in albino and variegated somaclonal variations of Agave angustifolia Haw., a comparative proteomic based TMT- synchronous precursor selection (SPS)-MS3 strategy was used to determine the status of AA biosynthetic pathways. Besides the 20 essential AA was quantified to underpin proteomics finding. A total of 2,442 different proteins were identified in the proteome of the somaclonal variants, from which 82 correspond to enzymes participating in AA biosynthesis. From these 82, 32 proteins were differentially accumulated. On the other hand, the concentration of 16 and 12 of the AA synthesized by the chloroplast were over-accumulated in the variegated and albino somaclonal variant, respectively. In plantlets devoid of functional chloroplasts, there is a surprising increase of AA and key enzymes of the AA biosyntethic pathways, compared to green plantlets. This could suggest que la activation of AA biosynthesis is key to sustaining albino and variegated plantlets survival that lack chloroplasts.

Project description:Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum, clinically presented as prolonged parasite clearance half-life, has been associated with a mutation in the NLI-interacting factor-like phosphatase PfNIF4, in addition to the mutations in the Kelch13 protein as the major determinant. We found that PfNIF4 predominant expression at the schizont stage and localized in the nuclei of the parasite. To elucidate the functions of PfNIF4 in P. falciparum, we performed PfNIF4 knockdown (KD) using the inducible ribozyme system. PfNIF4 KD attenuated merozoite invasion and affected gametocytogenesis. PfNIF4 KD parasites also showed significantly increased in vitro susceptibility to artemisinins. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PfNIF4 KD led to significant changes in the expression of approximately 10-25% of parasite genes during the IDC. At the schizont stage, down-regulated genes were significantly enriched in the invasion-related terms, while at the trophozoite and schizont stages, pathways associated with artemisinin resistance (e.g., mitochondrial function, membrane, and Kelch13 interactome) were also down-regulated. Consistent with PfNIF4 being a protein phosphatase, PfNIF4 KD resulted in an overall up-regulation of the phosphoproteome of infected erythrocytes. Specifically, we observed increased phosphorylation of Ser2/5 of the tandem repeats in the Rpb1 C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) upon PfNIF4 KD. Furthermore, using the TurboID-based proteomic approach, we identified that PfNIF4 interacted with the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) components, AP2-domain transcription factors, and chromatin-modifiers and binders. These findings suggest that PfNIF4 may act as the RNAPII CTD phosphatase, regulating the expression of general and parasite-specific cellular pathways during the blood-stage development.
