Genome-wide identification of alternate bearing-associated miRNA in the olive tree (Olea europaea)

Project description:We aimed to identify miRNA regulated by alternate bearing in O. europaea. For this purpose, six olive (Olea europaea L. )(Ayvalık variety) small RNA libraries were constructed from fruits (ripe and unripe) and leaves ("on-year" and "off-year" mature -leaven in November and juvenile - leaven in July plants) and sequenced by high-throughput Illumina sequencing. Bioinformatics analyses of 93,526,915 reads identified 135 conserved miRNA, belonging to 22 miRNA families in olive tree. In addition, 38 novel miRNA were discovered in the datasets. Expression of olive tree miRNA varied greatly among the six libraries, indicating contribution of diverse miRNA in balancing between reproductive and vegetative phases. The differential expression of miRNA was evaluated on the basis of the developmental phase of the samples.

Delineation of the olive pollen proteome: A focus on its allergen families

Project description:The delineation of the olive pollen proteome and its allergogram can improve the clinical management of patients with this pollinosis. We here integrated the recently described wild olive genomic data in a comprehensive proteomic approach to get the annotated olive (Olea europaea) pollen proteome and complete its complex allergogram. Olive pollen proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS using predicted protein sequences from its genome. GO annotation, KEGG Pathway analysis and identification of allergen families were performed by bioinformatics. Recombinant DNA, protein expression and purification, and immunological analyses were used to characterize putative allergens. A total of 1,907 proteins were identified. 60% of the proteins were predicted to possess catalytic activity and be involved in metabolic processes. 203 proteins belonging to 47 allergen families were found, with 37 non-previously described in olive pollen. Of four potential allergens produced in Escherichia coli, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase -cyclophilin-, masked in the protein extract by the major allergen Ole e 1, was found as a new olive pollen allergen (Ole e 15). 63% of the Ole e 15-sensitized patients were children and showed strong IgE recognition of the allergen. Ole e 15 shared high sequence identity with other plant, animal and fungal cyclophilins and a high IgE cross-reactivity with pollen, plant food and animal extracts. Taken together, the combination of available genomic data with proteomics permitted the profiling of the olive pollen proteome, revealing the spectrum of allergen families and cyclophilin as a new relevant allergen implicated in cross-reactivity.

Proteomics of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Project description:Proteins and peptides are minor components of vegetal oils. The presence of these compounds in virgin olive oil was first reported in 2001, but the nature of the olive oil proteome is still a puzzling question for food science researchers. In this project, we have compiled for a first time a comprehensive proteomic dataset of olive fruit and fungal proteins that are present at low but measurable concentrations in a vegetable oil from a crop of great agronomical relevance as olive (Olea europaea L.). Accurate mass nLC-MS data were collected in high definition direct data analysis (HD-DDA) mode using the ion mobility separation step. Protein identification was performed using the Mascot Server v2.2.07 software (Matrix Science) against an ad hoc database made of olive protein entries. Starting from this proteomic record, the impact of these proteins on olive oil stability and quality could be tested. Moreover, the effect of olive oil proteins on human health and their potential use as functional food components could be also evaluated. In addition, this dataset provides a resource for use in further functional comparisons across other vegetable oils, and also expands the proteomic resources to non-model species, thus also allowing further comparative inter-species studies.

Human in vivo nutrigenomic effect of olive oil

Project description:Olive oil is protective against risk factors for cardiovascular and cancer diseases. A nutrigenomic approach was performed to assess whether olive oil, the main fat of the Mediterranean diet modifies the gene expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Six healthy male volunteers ingested, at fasting state, 50 ml of olive oil, and continued with the same olive oil as a source of raw fat (25ml/day) during 3 weeks. Prior to intervention a 1-week washout period with sunflower oil as the only source of fat was followed. During the 3 days before, and on the intervention day, a very low phenolic compound diet was followed. At baseline (0h), at post ingestion (6h), and at fasting state after 3 weeks of sustained consumption of olive oil total RNA was isolated from PBMC. Gene expression was evaluated by microarray and verified by qRT-PCR. Keywords: Olive oil, gene expression, single dose, sustained consumption

Proteo-metabolomic study of olive (cv. ‘Chondrolia Chalkidikis’) drupe development and maturation

Project description:Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most economically relevant tree crops in the Mediterranean basin. In this study, a comparative proteomic along with metabolomic-wide investigation was carried out on drupes of Greek olive cultivar 'Chondrolia Chalkidikis', collected across six developmental stages (S), namely seed development (S1, S2), mesocarp development (S3, S4, S5) and full maturation (S6). These stages were first characterized through the dynamics of fruit weight, dimensions and color parameters such as lightness, redness and yellowness. Combined gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and reversed–phase liquid chromatography quadrupole–time–of–flight mass spectrometry (RPLC–QToF–MS) procedures quantified 47 primary (e.g. allose, galactose, quinic acid, sorbitol, stearic acid) and 21 secondary (e.g. elenolic acid, oleacin, rutin, luteolin, hydroxytyrosol) metabolites in mesocarp samples during development. Protein analysis via nano–LC coupled to HDAM Orbitrap mass spectrometer, identified 3258 proteins from which the 350 were differentially accumulated between the final maturation stages (S5 and S6). Olive genome-based functional annotation showed that the largest proportion of identified proteins were involved in primary metabolism [i.e. lipoxygenases (LOX1/5)], energy [i.e. ferredoxin NADP+ reductase (FNR)], signal transduction [i.e. serine/threonine kinases (SAPK2, SRK2A, STK), transcription [i.e. elongation factor 2 (EEF2)] and protein destination [i.e. serine carboxypeptidase (SCPL)]. This investigation provides a reference framework for further nutritional and breeding studies, also allowing cross comparison among other olive cultivars.
