This method involves direct labeling of surface proteins of living bacteria using fluorescent dyes and a subsequent separation of the crude extract by 2D gel electrophoresis. The strategy yields a substantial enrichment in surface proteins over cytoplasmic proteins. We validated this method by monitoring the effect of the regulatory RNA MicA in Escherichia coli, which regulates the synthesis of several outer membrane proteins, and highlighted the role of Staphylococcus aureus RNAIII for the maintenance of cell wall integrity.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: The identification of pathological markers of breast cancer for either diagnosis, treatment response or for survival is of critical importance. METHODS: Serum protein profiling using 2-DE separations coupled to matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry has been used to explore protein alterations in patients with infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas (IDCA). Sera from 39 breast cancer patients and 40 healthy controls were selected for screening study using 2-DE combined with MS. The protein expression patterns obtained after the depletion of high abundance proteins was determined by coomassie blue G-250 stain after 2-DE electrophoresis. RESULTS: Six proteins that expressed differentially in the IDCA group were found. The expression levels of four isoforms corresponding to haptoglobin precursor and two isoforms of alpha1-antitrypsin precursor (alpha1-AT) were upregulated in sera from breast cancer patients. There was an increased expression of both proteins in the sera of patients with various tumor stages (I, II, III) in comparison to healthy women. Applying immunohistochemistry, we further validated alpha1-AT immunoreactivity in 51 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of breast tumors. Enhanced expression of alpha1-AT like activity has been found in IDCA breast tumors, as well as, in different histological types of breast cancer. No significant association has been found with lymph node occurrence, while in high tumor categories a tendency to an increased expression of alpha1-AT has been found, thereby suggesting a possible role of this protein in tumor growth. CONCLUSIONS: These proteins may constitute new and useful markers of breast cancer that offer a clue to a better understanding of inflammatory pathways and carcinogenesis events linked to breast cancer progression.},

abstract = {Lactobacillus plantarum susbp. plantarum is a capnophilic Gram-positive heterotroph with optimal growth in 4 % CO(2)-enriched air. At low inorganic carbon (C(i)) concentrations, the pyr genes encoding the enzymes of the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway were overexpressed, in agreement with a previous study showing that these genes are regulated at the transcription level in response to C(i) via a PyrR(2)-mediated mechanism. A previous study of high-CO(2)-requiring (HCR) mutants revealed an unknown genetic link between arginine regulation and C(i)-dependent nutritional needs. To better understand L. plantarum's adaptation to C(i) availability, additional C(i)-responsive genes were sought in the arginine biosynthetic pathway (arg and car genes) using slot-blot hybridization and a proteomic differential 2D gel electrophoresis (DIGE) global approach. Besides the nine pyr-encoded proteins, 16 new Icr (inorganic-carbon-regulated) proteins accumulated differentially in response to C(i) availability, suggesting that the C(i) response involves several metabolic pathways and adaptation processes. Among these Icr proteins only argininosuccinate lyase, encoded by argH, was involved in arginine biosynthesis. Three proteins involved in the purine biosynthetic pathway and nucleotide conversion, adenylate kinase (Adk), GMP synthase (GuaA), and IMP dehydrogenase (GuaB), accumulated differentially in response to changes in C(i) levels. Expression of the Icr protein-encoding genes argH and guaB was regulated at the transcription level or by RNA stability in response to C(i) availability, as previously demonstrated for the pyr genes. However, PyrR(2) was not essential for the C(i)-regulated transcription of argH and guaB, demonstrating that PyrR(2) modulates only a subset of C(i)-regulated genes. These results suggest that the C(i) response may involve at least two regulatory mechanisms in L. plantarum.},

abstract = {More than 70 different point mutations in human mitochondrial tRNA genes are correlated with severe disorders, including fatal cardiopathies, encephalopathies, myopathies, and others. So far, investigation of the molecular impact(s) of mutations has focused on the affected tRNA itself by seeking structural and/or functional perturbations capable of interfering with synthesis of the 13 mitochondrion-encoded subunits of respiratory chain complexes. Here, a proteomic approach was used to investigate whether such mutations would affect the pattern of mitochondrial proteins at a broader level. Analysis of several hundred mitochondrial proteins from sibling cybrid cell lines by two-dimensional electrophoresis, an approach that takes into account all regulatory steps of mitochondrial and nuclear gene expression, indeed reveals a number of up- and downregulated proteins when healthy and single-point-mutation-carrying mitochondria representative of either MELAS or MERRF syndrome were compared. Assignment by mass spectrometry of the two proteins which exhibit obvious large quantitative decreases in the levels of both pathologic mitochondria identified nuclear-encoded subunits of cytochrome c oxidase, a respiratory chain complex. This clearly shows a linkage between the effects of mutations in mitochondrial tRNA genes and the steady-state level of nuclear-encoded proteins in mitochondria. It opens new routes toward a large-scale exploration of potential proteic partners involved in the genotype-phenotype correlation of mitochondrial disorders.},

abstract = {The 1867-residue Mot1 protein is a member of a superfamily of ATPases, some of which are helicases, that interact with protein-nucleic acid assemblies. Mot1 is an essential regulator of RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription in vivo and dissociates TATA box-binding protein (TBP)-DNA complexes in vitro. Mot1-(His)(6) was purified to apparent homogeneity from yeast extracts. The preparation efficiently dissociated TBP.TATA complexes, suggesting that no other protein or cofactor is required. Mot1 behaved as a non-globular monomer in hydrodynamic studies, and no association was detected between differentially tagged co-expressed Mot1 constructs. ATPase activity was stimulated about 10-fold by high ionic strength or alkaline pH, or by deletion of the N-terminal TBP-binding segment, suggesting that the N-terminal domain negatively regulates the C-terminal ATPase domain (Mot1C). Correspondingly, at moderate salt concentration, Mot1 ATPase (but not Mot1C) was stimulated textgreater/=10-fold by yeast TBP, suggesting that interaction with TBP relieves a conformational constraint in Mot1. Double- or single-stranded TATA-containing DNA did not affect ATPase activity of Mot1 or Mot1C, with or without TBP. Mot1 did not exhibit detectable helicase activity in strand displacement assays using substrates with flush ends or 5'- or 3'-overhangs. Mot1-catalyzed dissociation of TBP from DNA was not prevented by a psoralen cross-link positioned immediately preceding the TATA sequence. Thus, Mot1 most likely promotes release of TBP from TATA-containing DNA by causing a structural change in TBP itself, rather than by strand unwinding.},

Here we present the first report on inducible antibacterial molecules in the sap-sucking bug Pyrrhocoris apterus, a representative species of the Hemiptera, which predated the Endoptergotes by at least 50 million years in evolution. We have isolated and characterized from immune blood of this species three novel peptides or polypeptides: (i) a 43-residue cysteine-rich anti-(Gram-positive bacteria) peptide which is a new member of the family of insect defensins; (ii) a 20-residue proline-rich peptide carrying an O-glycosylated substitution (N-acetylgalactosamine), active against Gram-negative bacteria; (iii) a 133-residue glycine-rich polypeptide also active against Gram-negative bacteria. The proline-rich peptide shows high sequence similarities with drosocin, an O-glycosylated antibacterial peptide from Drosophila, and also with the N-terminal domain of diptericin, an inducible 9 kDa antibacterial peptide from members of the order Diptera, whereas the glycine-rich peptide has similarities with the glycine-rich domain of diptericin. We discuss the evolutionary aspects of these findings.},

abstract = {A new molecular taxonomic method applicable to the identification of medically important Candida species and other yeast species has been developed. It is based on the electrophoretic pattern of total tRNA samples (a 'tRNA profile') isolated from Candida species and generated using high-resolution semi-denaturing urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and methylene blue staining. Species-specific tRNA profiles for the species C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. glabrata and Pichia guilliermondii were obtained. Detailed studies with the major human pathogen of the Candida genus, C. albicans, demonstrated that the tRNA profile for a given species was both reproducible and strain-independent; seven different C. albicans strains generated identical tRNA profiles. Minor strain-specific heterogeneities in the tRNA profiles of C. guilliermondii and C. parapsilosis were detected, but in neither case did they significantly alter the species-specific diagnostic tRNA profile. The potential of this method in clarifying taxonomic anomalies was demonstrated by the finding that Type I and Type II strains of C. stellatoidea generate very different tRNA profiles, with that of a Type II strain being identical to the C. albicans tRNA profile. This method offers a number of advantages over current electrophoretic karyotype methods for species identification, both within the Candida genus and with yeast species in general.},

abstract = {Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of HeLa cell prosomal RNAs, 3'-end labeled by RNA ligase, revealed one prominent spot. Determination of a partial sequence at the 3'-end indicated full homology to the 18 nucleotides at the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) from rabbit, the bovine and the human species. An oligonucleotide complementary to the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) hybridized on Northern blots with prosomal RNA from both HeLa cells and duck erythroblasts. In two-dimensional PAGE, the major pRNA of HeLa cells co-migrated with bovine tRNA(Lys,3). Reconstitution of the CCA 3'-end of RNA from both human and duck prosomes, by tRNA-nucleotidyl-transferase, confirmed the tRNA character of this type of RNA. Furthermore, it revealed at least one additional tRNA band about 85 nt long among the prosomal RNA from both species. Finally, confirming an original property of prosomal RNA, we show that in vitro synthesized tRNA(Lys,3) hybridizes stably to duck globin mRNA, and to poly(A)(+)- and poly(A)(-)-RNA from HeLa cells.},

abstract = {Shortly after injection of radio-labelled ecdysone into fifth instar larvae of Locusta migratoria, 20-hydroxy-ecdysone (ecdysterone) is the main hormone found in the blood. Some 10% of the circulating hormone are bound to hemolymph macromolecules. The ratio of bound to free hormone is stage-dependent; it decreases considerably after previous injections of non-labelled ecdysone, but increases in insects in which ecdysone biosynthesis has been blocked by extirpation of the prothoracic glands or selective X-ray treatment of the hemocytopoietic tissue.},
