Cancer immunotherapy relies on the identification and characterization of tumour antigens that can be recognized by effector T cells. Here, we used a proteomics-based approach to identify tumour antigens recognized by serum antibodies from patients with breast cancer. Specific reactivity against a set of spots was identified and their identity was revealed by MALDI-TOF peptide mass fingerprinting. They include disintegrin and metalloprotease 10, aldolase A, beta-ATPase F1, heat shock protein 27, deaminase, pyruvate dehydrogenase protein X component, and Vimentin. Western blot analysis using recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli confirmed the specific reactivity with patient sera. Several tumour antigens were expressed on the surface of the T7 phage and shown to trigger specific immune responses in BALB/c mice following oral immunisation. Furthermore, these immune responses inhibited tumour growth and metastasis of the 4T1 mammary adenocarcinoma cell line. Collectively, the present data indicate that proteomics-based strategy can identify tumour antigens whose surface display on phages or bacteria can provide an effective strategy for mucosal cancer vaccines. In addition, arrayed phage-displayed tumour antigens could be useful as a serum-based screening test for the detection of several tumour antigens.

To know the root adjustment in response to iron deficiency, differentially displayed proteins in tomato roots of wild type and its iron uptake inefficient mutant T3238fer were analyzed by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS-based proteomic method under iron sufficiency and deficiency. Ninety-seven proteins were identified, 63 of them were classified in various metabolic pathways. About 40 proteins involved in starch degradation, TCA and ascorbate cycles were upregulated under iron deficiency and grouped in a network together with glycolysis, whereas proteins for fructose metabolism were decreased. Proteins involved in methionine synthesis, cell wall synthesis, mitochondria ATP synthesis, vacuole ATPase, HSP70/90, etc. also revealed enhanced expression under iron deficiency, while proteins about redox homeostasis, transcription factors, kinases, etc. showed diversified changes. The responses are closely associated with energy metabolism, organic acid formation, root morphological change, redox and sulfur homeostasis, and signal transduction, which enhance iron uptake, reutilization and other adaptive changes. Most of the proteins affected by iron deficiency and fer mutation showed similar effect on individual proteins or pathways, but the independent function of FER to iron deficiency were statistically indicated.

Topoisomerases are targets of several anticancer agents because their inhibition impedes the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation in carcinogenesis. With very limited information available on the inhibitory activities of peptides derived from dietary proteins, the objectives of this study were to employ co-immunoprecipitation to identify inhibitory peptides in soy protein hydrolysates in a single step and to investigate their molecular interactions with topoisomerase II. For this, soy protein isolates were subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion with pepsin and pancreatin, and the human topoisomerase II inhibitory peptides were co-immunoprecipitated and identified on a CapLC- Micromass Q-TOF Ultima API system. The inhibitory activity of these peptides from soy isolates toward topoisomerase II was confirmed using three synthetic peptides, FEITPEKNPQ, IETWNPNNKP,and VFDGEL, which have IC 50 values of 2.4, 4.0, and 7.9 mM, respectively. The molecular interactions of these peptides evaluated by molecular docking revealed interaction energies with the topoisomerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) (-186 to -398 kcal/mol) that were smaller than for the ATPase domain (-169 to -357 kcal/mol) and that correlated well with our experimental IC 50 values ( R (2) = 0.99). In conclusion, three peptides released from in vitro gastrointestinal enzyme digestion of soy proteins inhibited human topoisomerase II activity through binding to the active site of the CTD domain.

A balanced redox status is necessary to optimize force production in contractile apparatus, where free radicals generated by skeletal muscle are involved in some basic physiological processes like excitation-contraction coupling. Protein glutathionylation has a key role in redox regulation of proteins and signal transduction. Here we show that myosin is sensitive to in vitro glutathionylation and MALDI-TOF analysis identified three potential sites of glutathione binding, two of them locating on the myosin head. Glutathionylation of myosin has an important impact on the protein structure, as documented by the lower fluorescence quantum yield of glutathionylated myosin and its increased susceptibility to the proteolytic cleavage. Myosin function is also sensitive to glutathionylation, which modulates its ATPase activity depending on GSSG redox balance. Thus, like the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle, glutathionylation may represent a mechanism by which glutathione modulates sarcomere functions depending on the tissue redox state, and myosin may constitute a muscle redox-sensor.

The catabolic pathways and cellular responses of Pseudomonas putida P8 during growth on benzoate were studied through proteomics approach. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) gel profiles of P. putida cells grown on 100 and 800 mg/L benzoate were quantitatively compared using threshold criteria and statistical tools. Protein spots of interest were identified through database searching based on peptide mass fingerprints (PMFs) obtained using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Eight catabolic enzymes involved in both the ortho-cleavage (CatB, PcaI, and PcaF) and the meta-cleavage (DmpC, DmpD, DmpE, DmpF, and DmpG) pathways for benzoate biodegradation were identified in P. putida grown on 800 mg/L of benzoate while no meta-cleavage pathway enzymes were observed in the 2-DE gel profiles of P. putida grown on 100 mg/L of benzoate. The activation of both the ortho- and the meta-cleavage pathways in P. putida P8 grown on high benzoate concentration was confirmed directly at the protein level. In addition, another 28 differentially expressed proteins were also identified, including proteins involved in (i) detoxification and stress response (AhpC, ATPase-like ATP-binding region, putative DNA-binding stress protein, SodB and catalase/peroxidase HPI); (ii) carbohydrate, amino acid/protein and energy metabolism (isocitrate dehydrogenase, SucC, SucD, AcnB, GabD, ArcA, ArgI, Efp and periplasmic binding proteins of several ABC-transporters); and (iii) cell envelope and cell division (bacterial surface antigen family protein and MinD). Based on the data obtained, physiological changes of P. putida in response to growth on benzoate at different concentrations were discussed.

To gain an insight into the effects of different diets on growth and development of the domesticated silkworm at protein level, we employed comparative proteomic approach to investigate the proteomic differences of midgut, hemolymph, fat body and posterior silk gland of the silkworms reared on fresh mulberry leaves and on artificial diet. Seventy-six differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI TOF/TOF MS, and among them, 41 proteins were up-regulated, and 35 proteins were downregulated. Database searches, combined with GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that some hemolymph proteins such as Nuecin, Gloverin-like proteins, PGRP, P50 and beta/-N-acetylglucosamidase were related to innate immunity of the silkworm, and some proteins identified in silkworm midgut including Myosin 1 light chain, Tropomyosin 1, Profilin, Serpin-2 and GSH-Px were involved in digestion and nutrition absorption. Moreover, two up-regulated enzymes in fat body of larvae reared on artificial diet were identified as V-ATPase subunit B and Arginine kinase which participate in energy metabolism. Furthermore, 6 down-regulated proteins identified in posterior silk gland of silkworm larvae reared on artificial diet including Ribosomal protein SA, EF-2, EF-1gamma, AspAT, ERp57 and PHB were related to silk synthesis. Our results suggested that the different diets could alter the expression of proteins related to immune system, digestion and absorption of nutrient, energy metabolism and silk synthesis poor nutrition and absorption of nutrition in silkworm. The results also confirmed that the poor nutrient absorption, weakened innate immunity, decreased energy metabolism and reduced silk synthesis are the main reasons for low cocoons yield, inferior filament quality, low survival rate of young larvae and insufficient resistance against specific pathogens in the silkworms fed on artificial diet.

Growth inhibition in acid soils due to Al stress affects crop production worldwide. To understand mechanisms in sensitive crops that are affected by Al stress, a proteomic analysis of primary tomato root tissue, grown in Al-amended and non-amended liquid cultures, was performed. DIGE-SDS-MALDI-TOF-TOF analysis of these tissues resulted in the identification of 49 proteins that were differentially accumulated. Dehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione reductase, and catalase enzymes associated with antioxidant activities were induced in Al-treated roots. Induced enzyme proteins associated with detoxification were mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, catechol oxidase, quinone reductase, and lactoylglutathione lyase. The germin-like (oxalate oxidase) proteins, the malate dehydrogenase, wali7 and heavy-metal associated domain-containing proteins were suppressed. VHA-ATP that encodes for the catalytic subunit A of the vacuolar ATP synthase was induced and two ATPase subunit 1 isoforms were suppressed. Several proteins in the active methyl cycle, including SAMS, quercetin 3-O-methyltransferase and AdoHcyase, were induced by Al stress. Other induced proteins were isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase and the GDSL-motif lipase hydrolase family protein. NADPH-dependent flavin reductase and beta-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase were suppressed.

Natural wild-type strains of Bacillus subtilis are extensively used in agriculture as biocontrol agents for plants. This study examined two antagonist B. subtilis strains, KB-1111 and KB-1122, and the results illustrated that KB-1122 was a more potent inhibitor of the indicator pathogen than KB- 1111. Thus, to investigate the intrinsic differences between the two antagonist strains under normal culture conditions, samples of KB-1111 and KB-1122 were analyzed using MALDI-TOF-MS. The main differences were related to 20 abundant intracellular and 17 extracellular proteins. When searching the NCBI database, a number of the differentially expressed proteins were identified, including 11 cellular proteins and 10 secretory proteins. Among these proteins, class III stress-response-related ATPase, aconitate hydratase, alpha-amylase precursor, and a secretory protein, endo-1, 4-beta-glucanase, were differentially expressed by the two strains. These results are useful to comprehend the intrinsic differences between the antagonism of KB-1111 and KB-1122.

Whole proteins of male and female adult Haemonchus contortus were analysed by immunoproteomic techniques. Approximately 662 and 680 spots were detected on proteome maps of male and female nematodes, respectively, stained with Coomassie brilliant blue G-250. There were 609 shared spots. Approximately 193 and 196 spots were recognised on Western blot maps of male and female nematodes, respectively, using antiserum from naturally infected goats as the source of primary antibodies. There were 129 gender-specific spots in male nematodes and 132 in females. Twenty-three shared immunogenic spots were identified by MALDI-TOF or MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry. These proteins included glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), homologues of Dim-1, actin, globin-like excretory/secretory protein F6, glutathione S-transferase (GST), ATPase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. GDH and GST have been identified as immunogenic proteins of H. contortus previously, whereas the other proteins are newly recognised immunogenic proteins in this nematode.

The "stage albinism line of winter wheat" FA85 was a specific natural mutant strain on leaf color. This physiological mutation was controlled by cytogene. In order to reveal the genetic and biochemical mechanism of albinism, 2-DE was used to investigate the difference of chloroplast protein expression pattern between FA85 and its parent wheat Aibian 1. From the results of 2-DE gels analysis, approximately 683 spots were detected on each gel, and 57 spots were expressed differently at least two-fold. Using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS, 14 of 57 spots were identified, which could be categorized into four classes: carbon metabolism, energy metabolism, defense/stress response and signal transduction. Compared with the parent wheat, the expression of ATPase-gamma and GP1-alpha was up-regulated in FA85, and of other proteins was down-regulated. Together, we concluded that the expression of chloroplast proteins had changed obviously in FA85, which might be related to the leaf color mutant.
