Abstract
:
Proteomic tools were extensively used to understand the relationship between muscle
proteome and conversion of muscle to meat, post-mortem proteolysis, meat texture, and variation
in meat color. Developments in proteomic tools have also resulted in their application for addressing
the safety and authenticity issues including meat species identification, detection of animal byproducts,
non-meat ingredients and tissues in meat products, traceability, identification of genetically
modified ingredients, chemical residues and other harmful substances. Proteomic tools are also
being used in some of the potential areas like understanding the effect of animal transportation,
stunning, slaughter stress, halal authentication and issues related to animal welfare. Emerging advances
in proteomic and peptidomic technologies and their application in traceability, meat microbiology,
safety and authentication are taking a major stride as an interesting and complementary alternative
to DNA-based methods currently in use. Future research in meat science need to be
linked to emerging metabolomic, lipidomic and other omic technologies for ensuring integrated
meat quality and safety management. In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the use of proteomics
for the assessment of quality and safety in the meat value chain and their potential application
is discussed.

J Proteomics 2013; 96:13-28. [PMID: 24189443 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2013.10.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2013] [Revised: 09/30/2013] [Accepted: 10/24/2013] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED A 2D-DIGE proteomics experiment was performed to describe the mechanism underlying the production of geosmin, an earthy-smelling sesquiterpene which spoils wine, produced by Penicillium expansum. The strains were identified by sequencing of the ITS and beta-tubulin regions. This study was based on a selection of four strains showing different levels of geosmin production, assessed by GC-MS/MS. The proteomics study revealed the differential abundance of 107 spots between the different strains; these were picked and submitted to MALDI-TOF-TOF MS analysis for identification. They belonged to the functional categories of protein metabolism, redox homeostasis, metabolic processes (glycolysis, ATP production), cell cycle and cell signalling pathways. From these data, an implication of oxidative stress in geosmin production may be hypothesized. Moreover, the differential abundance of some glycolytic enzymes may explain the different patterns of geosmin biosynthesis. This study provides data for the characterisation of the mechanism and the regulation of the production of this off-flavour, which are so far not described in filamentous fungi. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Green mould on grapes, caused by P. expansum may be at the origin of off-flavours in wine. These are characterized by earthy-mouldy smells and are due to the presence of the compound geosmin. This work aims at describing how geosmin is produced by P. expansum. This knowledge is of use for the research community on grapes for understanding why these off-flavours occasionally occur in vintages.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE)-based proteomics approach was applied to extensively explore the molecular basis of plant development and environmental adaptation. These proteomics analyses revealed thousands of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) closely related to different biological processes. However, little attention has been paid to how peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) data generated by the approach can be directly utilized for the determination of protein phosphorylation. Here, we used the software tool FindMod to predict the peptides that might carry the phosphorylation modification by examining their PMF data for mass differences between the empirical and theoretical peptides and then identified phosphorylation sites using MALDI TOF/TOF according to predicted peptide data from these DEP spots in the 2-D gels. As a result, a total of 48 phosphorylation sites of 40 DEPs were successfully identified among 235 known DEPs previously revealed in the 2-D gels of elongating cotton fiber cells. The 40 phosphorylated DEPs, including important enzymes such as enolase, transketolase and UDP-L-rhamnose synthase, are presumed to participate in the functional regulation of numerous metabolic pathways, suggesting the reverse phosphorylation of these proteins might play important roles in elongating cotton fibers. The results also indicated that some different isoforms of the identical DEP revealed in our 2-DE-based proteomics analysis could be annotated by phosphorylation events. Taken together, as the first report of large-scale identification of phosphorylation sites in elongating cotton fiber cells, our study provides not only an excellent example of directly identifying phosphorylation sites from known DEPs on 2-D gels but also provides a valuable resource for future functional studies of phosphorylated proteins in this field.

Abstract
Covalent post-translational modification of proteins is the primary modulator of protein function in the cell. It greatly expands the functional potential of the proteome compared to the genome. In the past few years shotgun proteomics-based research, where the proteome is digested into peptides prior to mass spectrometric analysis has been prolific in this area. It has determined the kinetics of tens of thousands of sites of covalent modification on an equally large number of proteins under various biological conditions and uncovered a transiently active regulatory network that extends into diverse branches of cellular physiology. In this review, we discuss this work in light of the concept of protein speciation, which emphasizes the entire post-translationally modified molecule and its interactions and not just the modification site as the functional entity. Sometimes, particularly when considering complex multisite modification, all of the modified molecular species involved in the investigated condition, the protein species must be completely resolved for full understanding. We present a mathematical technique that delivers a good approximation for shotgun proteomics data.

Abstract
Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) produces a diverse array of bioactive benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, including the narcotic analgesic morphine and the antimicrobial agent sanguinarine. In contrast to the plant, cell cultures of opium poppy do not accumulate alkaloids constitutively but produce sanguinarine in response to treatment with certain fungal-derived elicitors. The induction of sanguinarine biosynthesis provides a model platform to characterize the regulation of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid pathways and other defense responses. Proteome analysis of elicitor-treated opium poppy cell cultures by two-dimensional denaturing-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry facilitated the identification of 219 of 340 protein spots based on peptide fragment fingerprint searches of a combination of databases. Of the 219 hits, 129 were identified through pre-existing plant proteome databases, 63 were identified by matching predicted translation products in opium poppy-expressed sequence tag databases, and the remainder shared evidence from both databases. Metabolic enzymes represented the largest category of proteins and included S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, several glycolytic, and a nearly complete set of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, one alkaloid, and several other secondary metabolic enzymes. The abundance of chaperones, heat shock proteins, protein degradation factors, and pathogenesis-related proteins provided a comprehensive proteomics view on the coordination of plant defense responses. Qualitative comparison of protein abundance in control and elicitor-treated cell cultures allowed the separation of induced and constitutive or suppressed proteins. DNA microarrays were used to corroborate increases in protein abundance with a corresponding induction in cognate transcript levels.

Abstract
Metabolic fluxes may be regulated "hierarchically," e.g., by changes of gene expression that adjust enzyme capacities (V(max)) and/or "metabolically" by interactions of enzymes with substrates, products, or allosteric effectors. In the present study, a method is developed to dissect the hierarchical regulation into contributions by transcription, translation, protein degradation, and posttranslational modification. The method was applied to the regulation of fluxes through individual glycolytic enzymes when the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was confronted with the absence of oxygen and the presence of benzoic acid depleting its ATP. Metabolic regulation largely contributed to the approximately 10-fold change in flux through the glycolytic enzymes. This contribution varied from 50 to 80%, depending on the glycolytic step and the cultivation condition tested. Within the 50-20% hierarchical regulation of fluxes, transcription played a minor role, whereas regulation of protein synthesis or degradation was the most important. These also contributed to 75-100% of the regulation of protein levels.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of proteins is a frequent post-translational modification affecting a great number of fundamental cellular functions in living organisms. Because of its key role in many biological processes, much effort has been spent over the time on the development of analytical methodologies for characterizing phosphoproteins. In the past decade, mass spectrometry-based techniques have emerged as a viable alternative to more traditional methods of phosphorylation analysis, providing accurate information for a purified protein on the number of the occurring phosphate groups and their exact localization on the polypeptide sequence. This review summarizes the analytical methodologies currently available for the analysis of protein phosphorylation, emphasizing novel mass spectrometry (MS) technologies and dedicated biochemical procedures that have been recently introduced in this field. A formidable armamentarium is now available for selective enrichment, exaustive structural characterization and quantitative determination of the modification degree for phosphopeptides/phosphoproteins. These methodologies are now successfully applied to the global analysis of cellular proteome repertoire according a holistic approach, allowing the quantitative study of phosphoproteomes on a dynamic time-course basis. The enormous complexity of the protein phosphorylation pattern inside the cell and its dynamic modification will grant important challenges to future scientists, contributing significantly to deeper insights into cellular processes and cell regulation.

Abstract
The application of genomic technologies to the analysis of wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has greatly enhanced our understanding of both native and laboratory strains of this important model eukaryote. Not only are differences in transcript, protein, and metabolite profiles being uncovered, but the heritable basis of these differences is also being elucidated. Although some challenges remain in the application of functional genomic technologies to commercial and native strains of S. cerevisiae, recent improvements, particularly in data analysis, have greatly extended the utility of these tools. Comparative analysis of laboratory and wine isolates is refining our understanding of the mechanisms of genome evolution. Genomic analysis of Saccharomyces in native environments is providing evidence of gene function to previously uncharacterized open reading frames and delineating the physiological parameters of ecological niche specialization and stress adaptation. The wealth of information being generated will soon be utilized to construct commercial stains with more desirable phenotypes, traits that will be designed to be genetically stable under commercial production conditions.

Abstract
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) is a unicellular eukaryote and contains many genes and regulatory mechanisms that are close to those of mammals. In this study, we performed a global proteomic analysis of the fission yeast S. pombe wild type h(-S) L 972 proteome. More than 1,500 protein spots were visualized on silver stained 2-D gels in the 3-10 pI range with a high resolution and high reproducibility. Protein identification was carried out by MALDI-TOF-MS and/or nanoLC-MS/MS. Advantage of the complementarity of these two MS approaches was used to enhance the identification quality. So far, 364 proteins (representing 157 different proteins) have been identified. We report here the identification of 117 new proteins on our 2-D reference map of this yeast compared to the first reference map. Of these identified proteins, 40.1% were involved in metabolism. The present work provides a very useful tool for all studies relying on S. pombe as a model organism and is a considerable complement to the first reference map of S. pombe published recently by Sun and coworkers (Sun, N., Jang, J., Lee, S., Kim, S. et al.., Proteomics 2005, 5, 1574-1579).

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into different hematopoietic lineages. To gain a comprehensive understanding of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, a systematic proteomic survey of human CD34+ cells collected from human umbilical cord blood was performed, in which the proteins were separated by 1- and 2-DE, as well as by nano-LC, and subsequently identified by MS. A total of 370 distinct proteins identified from those cells provided new insights into the potential of the stem/progenitor cells because the nerve, gonad, and eye-associated proteins were reliably identified. Interestingly, the transcripts of 133 (35.9%) identified proteins were not found by the prevalent transcriptome approaches, although several selected transcripts could be detected by RT-PCR. Moreover, the heterogeneity of 33 proteins identified from 2-DE was attributable primarily to post-translational processes rather than to alternative splicing at transcriptional level. Furthermore, the biosyntheses of 15 proteins identified in this study appears not to be completely interrupted in spite of the fact that corresponding antisense RNAs were found in the existing transcriptome data. The integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analyses employed here provided a unique view of the human stem/progenitor cells.

Abstract
We previously showed that plasma gelsolin, a major component of the extracellular actin scavenging system, is an matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-14 substrate. Here we confirmed that plasma gelsolin is cleaved by MMP-14 at the plasma level, and found that it was most efficiently digested by MMP-3 followed by MMP-2, MMP-1, MMP-14, and MMP-9, in that order. Plasma gelsolin (90 kDa) was cut into several fragments of 43-48 kDa by MMP-3. The MMP-3 cleavage sites in plasma gelsolin were determined by labeling the C termini generated by in-gel digestion with 50% H2 18O combined with peptide mass mapping, and sequencing of the N-terminal amino acids. Plasma gelsolin was cleaved at Asn416-Val417, Ser51-Met52, and Ala435-Gln436. Proteolytic cleavage by MMP-3 resulted in considerable loss of its actin filament-depolymerizing activity. This suggests that MMPs weaken the extracellular actin-scavenging system by cleaving plasma gelsolin and may, therefore, be involved in pathological conditions induced by extracellular actin, such as endothelial injury, respiratory distress syndrome, hepatic necrosis, and septic shock.

Abstract
In an effort to bring novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers or even potential targets for vaccine design for systemic candidiasis (SC) into the open, a systematic proteomic approach coupled with bioinformatic analysis was used to decode the serological response to Candida wall immunome in SC patients. Serum levels of IgG antibodies against Candida wall-associated proteins (proteins secreted from protoplasts in active wall regeneration, separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and identified by mass spectrometry) were measured in 45 SC patients, 57 non-SC patients, and 61 healthy subjects by Western blotting. Two-way hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis of their serum anti-Candida wall antibody expression patterns discriminated SC patients from controls and highlighted the heterogeneity of their expression profiles. Multivariate logistic regression models demonstrated that high levels of antibodies against glucan 1,3-beta-glucosidase (Bgl2p) and the anti-wall phosphoglycerate kinase antibody seropositivity were the only independent predictors of SC. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed no difference between their combined evaluation and measurement of anti-Bgl2p antibodies alone. In a logistic regression model adjusted for known prognostic factors for mortality, SC patients with high anti-Bgl2p antibody levels or a positive anti-wall enolase antibody status, which correlated with each other, had a reduced 2-month risk of death. After controlling for each other, only the seropositivity for anti-wall enolase antibodies was an independent predictor of a lower risk of fatality, supporting that these mediated the protective effect. No association between serum anti-cytoplasmic enolase antibody levels and outcomes was established, suggesting a specific mechanism of enolase processing during wall biogenesis. We conclude that serum anti-Bgl2p antibodies are a novel accurate diagnostic biomarker for SC and that, at high levels, they may provide protection by modulating the anti-wall enolase antibody response. Furthermore serum anti-wall enolase antibodies are a new prognostic indicator for SC and confer protection against it. Bgl2p and wall-associated enolase could be valuable candidates for future vaccine development.

Abstract
The first protein map of an ale-fermenting yeast is presented in this paper: 205 spots corresponding to 133 different proteins were identified. Comparison of the proteome of this ale strain with a lager brewing yeast and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288c confirmed that this ale strain is much closer to S288c than the lager strain at the proteome level. The dynamics of the ale-brewing yeast proteome during production-scale fermentation was analysed at the beginning and end of the first and the third usage of the yeast (called generation in the brewing industry). During the first generation, most changes were related to the switch from aerobic propagation to anaerobic fermentation. Fewer changes were observed during the third generation but certain stress-response proteins such as Hsp26p, Ssa4p and Pnc1p exhibited constitutive expression in subsequent generations. The ale brewing yeast strain appears to be quite well adapted to fermentation conditions and stresses.

Abstract
Erythritol is a noncariogenic, low calorie sweetener. It is safe for people with diabetes and obese people. Candida magnoliae is an industrially important organism because of its ability to produce erythritol as a major product. The genome of C. magnoliae has not been sequenced yet, limiting the available proteome database. Therefore, systematic approaches were employed to construct the proteome map of C. magnoliae. Proteomic analysis with systematic approaches is based on two-dimensional electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and database interrogation. First, 24 spots were analyzed using peptide mass fingerprinting along with MALDI-TOF MS with high mass accuracy. Only four spots were reliably identified as carbonyl reductase and its isoforms. The reason for low sequence coverage seemed to be that these identification strategies were based on the presence of the protein database obtained from the publicly accessible genome database and the availability of cross-species protein identification. MS/MS (MS/MS ion search and de novo sequencing) in combination with similarity searches allowed successful identification of 39 spots. Several proteins including transaldolase identified by MS/MS ion searches were further confirmed by partial sequences from the expressed sequence tag database. In this study, 51 protein spots were analyzed and then potentially identified. The identified proteins were involved in glycolysis, stress response, other essential metabolisms and cell structures.

Abstract
Vinca alkaloids are used widely in the treatment of both childhood and adult cancers. Their cellular target is the beta-tubulin subunit of alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers, and they act to inhibit cell division by disrupting microtubule dynamics. Despite the effectiveness of these agents, drug resistance is a major clinical problem. To identify the underlying mechanisms behind vinca alkaloid resistance, we have performed high resolution differential proteome analysis. Treatment of drug-sensitive human leukemia cells (CCRF-CEM) with vincristine identified numerous proteins involved in the cellular response to vincristine. In addition, differential protein expression was analyzed in leukemia cell lines selected for resistance to vincristine (CEM/VCR R) and vinblastine (CEM/VLB100). This combined proteomic approach identified 10 proteins altered in both vinca alkaloid response and resistance: beta-tubulin, alpha-tubulin, actin, heat shock protein 90beta, 14-3-3tau, 14-3-3epsilon, L-plastin, lamin B1, heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein-F, and heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein-K. Several of these proteins have not previously been associated with drug resistance and are thus novel targets for elucidation of resistance mechanisms. In addition, seven of these proteins are associated with the tubulin and/or actin cytoskeletons. This study provides novel insights into the interrelationship between the microtubule and microfilament systems in vinca alkaloid resistance.

Abstract
Epothilones, like paclitaxel, bind to beta-tubulin and stabilize microtubules. We selected a series of four leukemia sublines that display increasing levels of resistance to the epothilone analog desoxyepothilone B (dEpoB). The dEpoB cells selected in 30-140 nM were approximately 15-fold cross-resistant to paclitaxel, while 300 nM selected cells were 467-fold resistant to this agent. The dEpoB-selected cells are hypersensitive to microtubule destabilizing agents, and express increased levels of class III beta-tubulin and MAP4. A novel class I beta-tubulin mutation, A231T, that affects microtubule stability but does not alter paclitaxel binding, was identified. The 300 nM selected cells acquired a second mutation, Q292E, situated near the M loop of class I beta-tubulin. These cells fail to undergo drug-induced tubulin polymerization due to dramatically reduced drug binding. The dEpoB-resistant leukemia cells provide novel insights into microtubule dynamics and, in particular, drug-target interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-soluble liver antigen (SLA) autoantibodies are specific for autoimmune hepatitis type 1 and are the only immunologic marker found in 15-20% of hepatitis cases previously considered cryptogenic. Anti-SLA antibodies react with the 100 000g supernatant from rat liver homogenate, but the molecular targets remain controversial. METHODS We characterized anti-SLA targets by one- and two-dimensional immunoblotting analysis. The recognized proteins were identified by peptide mass fingerprint analysis after matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. RESULTS Three proteins of 35 kDa and pI 6.0, 50 kDa and pI between 6.0 and 6.5, and 58 kDa and pI between 6.5 and 7.0 were stained more intensely by anti-SLA positive-sera than by control sera. After in-gel tryptic digestion, MALDI-TOF analysis of the generated peptides enabled the clear identification of N-hydroxyarylamine sulfotransferase, isoforms of alpha-enolase, and isoforms of catalase. CONCLUSIONS Possible antigens for anti-SLA antibodies include a sulfotransferase, alpha-enolase(s), and catalase(s). Two-dimensional electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry offers a versatile tool to identify molecular targets of autoantibodies and thus to improve diagnostic tools and the understanding of the immune process.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications modulate the activity of most eukaryote proteins. Analysis of these modifications presents formidable challenges but their determination generates indispensable insight into biological function. Strategies developed to characterize individual proteins are now systematically applied to protein populations. The combination of function- or structure-based purification of modified 'subproteomes', such as phosphorylated proteins or modified membrane proteins, with mass spectrometry is proving particularly successful. To map modification sites in molecular detail, novel mass spectrometric peptide sequencing and analysis technologies hold tremendous potential. Finally, stable isotope labeling strategies in combination with mass spectrometry have been applied successfully to study the dynamics of modifications.

Abstract
We report a study on the adaptive response of a wild-type wine Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, isolated from natural spontaneous grape must, to mild and progressive physiological stresses due to fermentation. We observed by two-dimensional electrophoresis how the yeast proteome changes during glucose exhaustion, before the cell enters its complete stationary phase. On the basis of their identification, the proteins representing the S. cerevisiae proteomic response to fermentation stresses were divided into three classes: repressed proteins, induced proteins and autoproteolysed proteins. In an overall view, the proteome adaptation of S. cerevisiae at the time of glucose exhaustion seems to be directed mainly against the effects of ethanol, causing both hyperosmolarity and oxidative responses. Stress-induced autoproteolysis is directed mainly towards specific isoforms of glycolytic enzymes. Through the use of a wild-type S. cerevisiae strain and PMSF, a specific inhibitor of vacuolar proteinase B, we could also distinguish the specific contributions of the vacuole and the proteasome to the autoproteolytic process.

Abstract
Proteomics is critically dependent on optimal sample preparation. Particularly, the interface between protein digestion and mass spectrometric analysis has a large influence on the overall quality and sensitivity of the analysis. We here describe a novel procedure in which a very small disk of beads embedded in a Teflon meshwork is placed as a microcolumn into pipet tips. Termed Stage, for STop And Go Extraction, the procedure has been implemented with commercially available material (C18 Empore Disks (3M, Minneapolis, MN)) as frit and separation material. The disk is introduced in a simple and fast process yielding a convenient and completely reliable procedure for the production of self-packed microcolumns in pipet tips. It is held in place free of obstacles solely by the narrowing tip, ensuring optimized loading and elution of analytes. Five disks are conveniently placed in 1 min, adding <0.1 cent in material costs to the price of each tip. The system allows fast loading with low backpressure (>300 micro/min for the packed column using manual force) while eliminating the possibility of blocking. The loading capacity of C18-StageTips (column bed: 0.4 mm diameter, 0.5 mm length) is 2-4 microg of protein digest, which can be increased by using larger diameter or stacked disks. Five femtomole of tryptic BSA digest could be recovered quantitatively. We have found that the Stage system is well-suited as a universal sample preparation system for proteomics.

Abstract
Recent results indicate that interactions of transcription factors with other nuclear proteins play an important role in stem cell development, lineage commitment and differentiation in the haematopoietic system, and the pathogenesis of myeloid leukaemias. High-throughput proteomics by mass spectrometric analysis of gel-separated proteins can identify multi-protein complexes and changes in the expression of multiple proteins simultaneously. This review describes an application of proteomic methods (2D gel electrophoresis (GE) and mass spectrometry (MS)), which can be used to identify regulated protein targets of transcription factors important in myeloid differentiation and leukaemia. This global high-throughput functional proteomics approach could lead to new insights into the network of protein-protein interactions and target proteins involved in myeloid stem cell development and leukaemia as well as provide new targets for rational pathogenesis-based therapies of leukaemia and cancer.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics has traditionally been performed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, but recently, mass spectrometric methods based on stable isotope quantitation have shown great promise for the simultaneous and automated identification and quantitation of complex protein mixtures. Here we describe a method, termed SILAC, for stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture, for the in vivo incorporation of specific amino acids into all mammalian proteins. Mammalian cell lines are grown in media lacking a standard essential amino acid but supplemented with a non-radioactive, isotopically labeled form of that amino acid, in this case deuterated leucine (Leu-d3). We find that growth of cells maintained in these media is no different from growth in normal media as evidenced by cell morphology, doubling time, and ability to differentiate. Complete incorporation of Leu-d3 occurred after five doublings in the cell lines and proteins studied. Protein populations from experimental and control samples are mixed directly after harvesting, and mass spectrometric identification is straightforward as every leucine-containing peptide incorporates either all normal leucine or all Leu-d3. We have applied this technique to the relative quantitation of changes in protein expression during the process of muscle cell differentiation. Proteins that were found to be up-regulated during this process include glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, fibronectin, and pyruvate kinase M2. SILAC is a simple, inexpensive, and accurate procedure that can be used as a quantitative proteomic approach in any cell culture system.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a commonly occurring tumor in southern China and south east Asia. A genetic factor has now been recognized to be associated with this cancer. A new gene, named NAG7, was cloned from the common minimal deletion region in 3p25.3-26.3. In order to investigate the function of NAG7 gene, proteomic methods were used to find and identify the differential proteins and expected to elucidate the mechanism of NAG7. The NAG7 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed and transfected into NPC cell line HNE1 with liposome. Twenty-two differential protein spots in transfected cells were found significant and reproducible using high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. Nine proteins that were up-regulated and seven proteins that were down-regulated were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and database analysis. These proteins included growth arrest specific protein, DNA binding protein, caspase 6, pinch protein and ras-related protein rab-36, which are involved in cell cycling, transcription regulation, signaling pathways and apoptosis. NAG7 may exert its functions by mediating differential expression of these proteins.

Abstract
Disease, external stimuli (such as drugs and toxins), and mutations cause changes in the rate of protein synthesis, post-translational modification, inter-compartmental transport, and degradation of proteins in living systems. Recognizing and identifying the small number of proteins involved is complicated by the complexity of biological extracts and the fact that post-translational alterations of proteins can occur at many sites in multiple ways. It is shown here that a variety of new tools and methods based on internal standard technology are now being developed to code globally all peptides in control and experimental samples for quantification. The great advantage of these stable isotope-labeling strategies is that mass spectrometers can rapidly target those proteins that have changed in concentration for further analysis. When coupled to stable isotope quantification, targeting can be further focused through chromatographic selection of peptide classes on the basis of specific structural features. Targeting structural features is particularly useful when they are unique to types of regulation or disease. Differential displays of targeted peptides show that stimulus-specific markers are relatively easy to identify and will probably be diagnostically valuable tools.

Abstract
We describe a simple approach for the relative quantification of individual proteins within a mixture. The method is based on the differential labelling of the mixtures by use of a commercially available acrylamide and deuterium-labelled [2,3,3'-d(3)]-acrylamide to alkylate proteins prior to two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The tryptic digests of the separated proteins were subjected to reflector matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) analysis and the relative peak heights of cysteine-containing peptides were used to quantify their precursor proteins. This approach was tested for the relative quantification of proteins within an artificial mixture of standard proteins and for proteins observed in a 2-D map of rat serum. A good correlation was found between the measured ratios derived from MALDI-TOF data and those theoretically calculated prior to 2-D analysis via known mixing ratios of the two alkylating reagents. The described procedure has proved to be effective for comparative measurements of protein abundances within the investigated mixtures.
