Efforts have, therefore, been carried out to understand the mechanism of salt tolerance, however, the complexity of biological processes at proteome levels remains a major challenge. Here, we performed a comparative proteome and phosphoproteome profiling of microsome enriched fractions of salt-tolerant (cv. IR73; indica) and salt-susceptible (cv. Dongjin/DJ; japonica) rice varieties. This approach led to the identification of 5856 proteins, of which 473 and 484 proteins showed differential modulation between DJ and IR73 sample sets, respectively. The phosphoproteome analysis led to the identification of a total of 10,873 phosphopeptides of which 2929 and 3049 phosphopeptides showed significant differences in DJ and IR73 sample sets, respectively. The integration of proteome and phosphoproteome data showed activation of ABA and Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling components exclusively in the salt-tolerant variety IR73 in response to salinity stress. Taken together, our results highlight the changes at proteome and phosphoproteome levels and provide a mechanistic understanding of salinity stress tolerance in rice.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":224,"journal":{"name":"Proteomics","volume":"25 5-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142567149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding proteome profiles at different seed developmental stages is key to improving seed composition and quality. We used label-free quantitative proteomics to analyze round and wrinkled pea seeds at five growth stages: 4, 7, 12, 15, and days after anthesis (DAA), and at maturity. Wrinkled peas had lower starch content (30%) compared to round peas (47%–55%). Proteomic analysis identified 3659 protein groups, with 21%–24% shared across growth stages. More proteins were identified during early seed development than at maturity. Statistical analysis found 735 significantly different proteins between wrinkled and round seeds, regardless of the growth stage. The detected proteins were categorized into 31 functional classes, including metabolic enzymes, proteins involved in protein biosynthesis and homeostasis, carbohydrate metabolism, and cell division. Cell division-related proteins were more abundant in early stages, while storage proteins were more abundant later in seed development. Wrinkled seeds had lower levels of the starch-branching enzyme (SBEI), which is essential for amylopectin biosynthesis. Seed storage proteins like legumin and albumin (PA2) were more abundant in round peas, whereas vicilin was more prevalent in wrinkled peas. This study enhances our understanding of seed development in round and wrinkled peas.</p><p>The study highlighted the seed growth patterns and protein profiles in round and wrinkled peas during seed development.

Multiple markers derived from type I collagen, such as CTX, NTX, PINP, and ICTP, have been developed. Extensive efforts have been devoted to characterizing these molecules; however, their complex crosslinked structures have posed significant analytical challenges, and to date, these biomarkers remain poorly characterized. Previous attempts at characterization involved gel-based separation methods and MALDI-TOF analysis on collagen peptides directly extracted from bone. However, using bone powder, which is rich in collagen, does not represent the true structure of the peptides in the biofluids as it was cleaved. In this study, our goal was to characterize plasma and serum CTX for subsequent LC-MS/MS method development. We extracted and characterized type I collagen peptides directly from human plasma and serum using a proteomics workflow that integrates preparative LC, affinity chromatography, and HR-MS. Subsequently, we successfully identified numerous CTX species, providing valuable insights into the characterization of these crucial biomarkers.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":224,"journal":{"name":"Proteomics","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142491727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional experimental methods for determining N-linked glycosylation sites entail substantial time and labor investment, which has led to the development of computational approaches as a more efficient alternative. However, due to the limited availability of 3D structural data, existing prediction methods often struggle to fully utilize structural information and fall short in integrating sequence and structural information effectively. Motivated by the progress of protein pretrained language models (pLMs) and the breakthrough in protein structure prediction, we introduced a high-accuracy model called CoNglyPred. Having compared various pLMs, we opt for the large-scale pLM ESM-2 to extract sequence embeddings, thus mitigating certain limitations associated with manual feature extraction. Meanwhile, our approach employs a graph transformer network to process the 3D protein structures predicted by AlphaFold2. The final graph output and ESM-2 embedding are intricately integrated through a co-attention mechanism. Among a series of comprehensive experiments on the independent test dataset, CoNglyPred outperforms state-of-the-art models and demonstrates exceptional performance in case study. In addition, we are the first to report the uncertainty of N-linked glycosylation predictors using expected calibration error and expected uncertainty calibration error.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":224,"journal":{"name":"Proteomics","volume":"25 5-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142363612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
