Abstract
The 2, 4-epibrassinolide (EBR) significantly increased plants cold tolerance. However, mechanisms of EBR in regulating cold tolerance in phosphoproteome and proteome levels have not been reported. The mechanism of EBR regulating cold response in cucumber was studied by multiple omics analysis. In this study, phosphoproteome analysis showed that cucumber responded to cold stress through multi-site serine phosphorylation, while EBR further upregulated single-site phosphorylation for most of cold-responsive phosphoproteins. Association analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome revealed that EBR reprogrammed proteins in response to cold stress by negatively regulating protein phosphorylation and protein content, and phosphorylation negatively regulated protein content in cucumber. Further functional enrichment analysis of proteome and phosphoproteome showed that cucumber mainly upregulated phosphoproteins related to spliceosome, nucleotide binding and photosynthetic pathways in response to cold stress. However, different from the EBR regulation in omics level, hypergeometric analysis showed that EBR further upregulated 16 cold-up-responsive phosphoproteins participated photosynthetic and nucleotide binding pathways in response to cold stress, suggested their important function in cold tolerance. Analysis of cold-responsive transcription factors (TFs) by correlation between proteome and phosphoproteome showed that cucumber regulated eight class TFs may through protein phosphorylation under cold stress. Further combined with cold-related transcriptome found that cucumber phosphorylated eight class TFs, and mainly through targeting major hormone signal genes by bZIP TFs in response to cold stress, while EBR further increased these bZIP TFs (CsABI5.2 and CsABI5.5) phosphorylation level. In conclusion, the EBR mediated schematic of molecule response mechanisms in cucumber under cold stress was proposed.

Abstract
The regulation of mammalian reproductive activity is tightly dependent on the HPG axis crosstalk, in which several reproductive hormones play important roles. Among them, the physiological functions of gonadotropins are gradually being uncovered. However, the mechanisms by which GnRH regulates FSH synthesis and secretion still need to be more extensively and deeply explored. With the gradual completion of the human genome project, proteomes have become extremely important in the fields of human disease and biological process research. To explore the changes of protein and protein phosphorylation modifications in the adenohypophysis after GnRH stimulation, proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses of rat adenohypophysis after GnRH treatment were performed by using TMT markers, HPLC classification, LC/MS, and bioinformatics analysis in this study. A total of 6762 proteins and 15,379 phosphorylation sites contained quantitative information. Twenty-eight upregulated proteins and fifty-three downregulated proteins were obtained in the rat adenohypophysis after GnRH treatment. The 323 upregulated phosphorylation sites and 677 downregulated phosphorylation sites found in the phosphoproteomics implied that a large number of phosphorylation modifications were regulated by GnRH and were involved in FSH synthesis and secretion. These data constitute a protein-protein phosphorylation map in the regulatory mechanism of "GnRH-FSH," which provides a basis for future studies on the complex molecular mechanisms of FSH synthesis and secretion. The results will be helpful for understanding the role of GnRH in the development and reproduction regulated by the pituitary proteome in mammals.

Abstract
Plant trichomes are specialized epidermal cells that are widely distributed on plant aerial tissues. The initiation and progression of trichomes are controlled in a coordinated sequence of multiple molecular events. During the past decade, major breakthroughs in the molecular understanding of trichome development were achieved through the characterization of various trichomes defective mutants and trichome-associated genes, which revealed a highly complex molecular regulatory network underlying plant trichome development. This review focuses on the recent millstone in plant trichomes research obtained using genetic and molecular studies, as well as 'omics' analyses in model plant Arabidopsis and fiber crop cotton. In particular, we discuss the latest understanding and insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of trichomes formation at multiple dimensions, including at the chromatin, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels. We summarize that the integration of multi-dimensional trichome-associated genes will enable us to systematically understand the molecular regulation network that landscapes the development of the plant trichomes. These advances will enable us to address the unresolved questions regarding the molecular crosstalk that coordinate concurrent and ordered the changes in cotton fiber initiation and progression, together with their possible implications for genetic improvement of cotton fiber.

Novel Translational and Phosphorylation Modification Regulation Mechanisms of Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum) Fruit Ripening Revealed by Integrative Proteomics and Phosphoproteomics. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111782.

Abstract
The tomato is a research model for fruit-ripening, however, its fruit-ripening mechanism still needs more extensive and in-depth exploration. Here, using TMT and LC-MS, the proteome and phosphoproteome of AC++ (wild type) and rin (ripening-inhibitor) mutant fruits were studied to investigate the translation and post-translational regulation mechanisms of tomato fruit-ripening. A total of 6141 proteins and 4011 phosphorylation sites contained quantitative information. One-hundred proteins were identified in both omics’ profiles, which were mainly found in ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction, photosynthesis regulation, carotenoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, chlorophyll degradation, ribosomal subunit expression changes, MAPK pathway, transcription factors and kinases. The affected protein levels were correlated with their corresponding gene transcript levels, such as NAC-NOR, MADS-RIN, IMA, TAGL1, MADS-MC and TDR4. Changes in the phosphorylation levels of NAC-NOR and IMA were involved in the regulation of tomato fruit-ripening. Although photosynthesis was inhibited, there were diverse primary and secondary metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, vitamin metabolism and isoprenoid biosynthesis, regulated by phosphorylation. These data constitute a map of protein—protein phosphorylation in the regulation of tomato fruit-ripening, which lays the foundation for future in-depth study of the sophisticated molecular mechanisms of fruit-ripening and provide guidance for molecular breeding.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is a major post-translational modification, regulating protein function, stability, and subcellular localization. To date, annotated phosphorylation data are available mainly for model organisms and humans, despite the economic importance of crop species and their large kinomes. Our understanding of the phospho-regulation of flowering in relation to the biology and interaction between the pollen and pistil is still significantly lagging, limiting our knowledge on kinase signalling and its potential applications to crop production. To address this gap, we bring together relevant literature that were previously disconnected to present an overview of the roles of phosphoproteomic signalling pathways in modulating molecular and cellular regulation within specific tissues at different morphological stages of flowering. This review is intended to stimulate research, with the potential to increase crop productivity by providing a platform for novel molecular tools.

Abstract
Brassinosteroid (BR), a steroid phytohormone, whose signaling transduction pathways include a series of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events, and GSK3s are the main negative regulator kinases. BRs have been shown to play vital roles in cotton fiber elongation. However, the underlying mechanism is still elusive. In this study, fibers of a BR-defective mutant Pagoda 1 (pag1), and its corresponding wild-type (ZM24) were selected for a comparative global phosphoproteome analysis at critical developmental time points: fast-growing stage (10 days after pollination (DPA)) and secondary cell wall synthesis stage (20 DPA). Based on the substrate characteristics of GSK3, 900 potential substrates were identified. Their GO and KEGG annotation results suggest that BR functions in fiber development by regulating GhSKs (GSK3s of Gossypium hirsutum L.) involved microtubule cytoskeleton organization, and pathways of glucose, sucrose and lipid metabolism. Further experimental results revealed that among the GhSK members identified, GhSK13 not only plays a role in BR signaling pathway, but also functions in developing fiber by respectively interacting with an AP2-like ethylene-responsive factor GhAP2L, a nuclear transcription factor Gh_DNF_YB19, and a homeodomain zipper member GhHDZ5. Overall, our phosphoproteomic research advances the understanding of fiber development controlled by BR signal pathways especially through GhSKs, and also offers numbers of target proteins for improving cotton fiber quality.

Abstract
Limited knowledge is available for phosphorylation modifications in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), especially in pepper fruit development. In this study, we conducted the first comprehensive phosphoproteomic analysis of pepper fruit at four development stage by Tandem Mass Tag proteomic approaches. A total of 2639 unique phosphopeptides spanning 1566 proteins with 4150 nonredundant sites of phosphorylation were identified, among which 2327 peptides in 1413 proteins were accurately quantified at four different stages. Mature Green (MG) to breaker stage showed the largest number of differentially expressed phosphoproteins and the number of downregulated phosphoproteins was significantly higher than that of upregulated after MG stage. Twenty seven phosphorylation motifs, including 22 pSer motifs and five pThr motifs and 85 kinase including 28 serine/threonine kinases, 14 receptor protein kinases, six mitogen-activated protein kinases, seven calcium-dependent protein kinases, two casein kinases, and some other kinases were quantified. Then the dynamic changes of phosphorylated proteins in ethylene and abscisic acid signaling transduction pathways during fruit development were analyzed. Our results provide a cascade of phosphoproteins and a regulatory network of phosphorylation signals, which help to further understand the mechanism of phosphorylation in pepper fruit development.

Abstract
Cotton fiber developmental transition from elongation to secondary cell wall biosynthesis is a critical growth shifting phase that affects fiber final length, strength, and other properties. Morphological dynamic analysis indicated an asynchronous fiber developmental pattern between two most important commercial cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum (Gh) and G. barbadense (Gb). Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation techniques, we examined the temporal changes of protein expression at three representative development periods (15-19, 19-23, and 23-27 dpa) in both species. Strikingly, a large proportion of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified at 19-23 dpa in Gh and at 23-27 dpa in Gb, corresponding to their fiber developmental transition timing. To better understand fiber transitional development, we comparatively analyzed those DEPs in 19-23 dpa of Gh vs. in 23-27 dpa of Gb, and noted that these cotton species indeed share fundamentally similar fiber developmental features under the biological processes. We also showed that there are limited overlaps in both specific upregulated and downregulated proteins between the two species, suggesting species-specific protein regulations in the development process. Proteomic profiling results revealed dynamic changes of several key proteins and biological processes that are potentially correlated with fiber developmental transition. During the transition, upregulated proteins are mainly involved in carbohydrate/energy metabolism, oxidation-reduction, cytoskeleton, protein turnover, Ca2+ signaling, etc., whereas important downregulated proteins are mostly involved in phenylpropanoid and flavonoid secondary metabolism pathways. The gene expressions of several changed proteins in this key stage were also examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Overall, the present study provides accurate pictures of the regulatory networks of functional proteins during the fiber developmental transition, therefore highlighting candidate genes/proteins and related pathways for the cotton fiber improvement.

Abstract
Verticillium wilt is a plant vascular disease causing severe yield and quality losses in many crops and is caused by the soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of the cotton-V. dahliae interaction, a time-course phosphoproteomic analysis of roots of susceptible and resistant cotton lines in response to V. dahliae was performed. In total, 1716 unique phosphoproteins were identified in the susceptible (S) and resistant (R) cotton lines. Of these, 359 phosphoproteins were significantly different in R1 (1 day after V. dahliae inoculation) vs R0 (mock) group and 287 phosphoproteins in R2 (3 days after V. dahliae inoculation) vs R0 group. Moreover, 263 proteins of V. dahliae-regulated phosphoproteins were significantly changed in S1 (1 day after V. dahliae inoculation) vs S0 (mock) group and 197 proteins in S2 (3 days after V. dahliae inoculation) vs S0 group. Thirty phosphoproteins were significantly changed and common to the resistant and susceptible cotton lines following inoculation with V. dahliae. Specifically, 92 phosphoproteins were shared in both in R1 vs R0 and R2 vs R0 but not in susceptible cotton lines. There were 38 common phosphoproteins shared in both S1 vs S0 and S2 vs S0 but not in resistant cotton lines. GO terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses displayed an abundance of known and novel phosphoproteins related to plant-pathogen interactions, signal transduction, and metabolic processes, which were correlated with resistance against fungal infection. These data provide new perspectives and inspiration for understanding molecular defense mechanisms of cotton roots against V. dahliae infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are part of genes, which are not translated into proteins and play a vital role in plant growth and development. Nevertheless, the presence of LncRNAs and how they functions in Ligon-lintless-1 mutant during the early cessation of cotton fiber development are still not well understood. In order to investigate the function of LncRNAs in cotton fiber development, it is necessary and important to identify LncRNAs and their potential roles in fiber cell development. RESULTS In this work, we identified 18,333 LncRNAs, with the proportion of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (LincRNAs) (91.5%) and anti-sense LncRNAs (8.5%), all transcribed from Ligon-lintless-1 (Li1) and wild-type (WT). Expression differences were detected between Ligon-lintless-1 and wild-type at 0 and 8 DPA (day post anthesis). Pathway analysis and Gene Ontology based on differentially expressed LncRNAs on target genes, indicated fatty acid biosynthesis and fatty acid elongation being integral to lack of fiber in mutant cotton. The result of RNA-seq and RT-qPCR clearly singles out two potential LncRNAs, LNC_001237 and LNC_017085, to be highly down-regulated in the mutant cotton. The two LncRNAs were found to be destabilized or repressed by ghr-miR2950. Both RNA-seq analysis and RT-qPCR results in Ligon-lintless-1 mutant and wild-type may provide strong evidence of LNC_001237, LNC_017085 and ghr-miR2950 being integral molecular elements participating in various pathways of cotton fiber development. CONCLUSION The results of this study provide fundamental evidence for the better understanding of LncRNAs regulatory role in the molecular pathways governing cotton fiber development. Further research on designing and transforming LncRNAs will help not only in the understanding of their functions but will also in the improvement of fiber quality.

Abstract
Cotton fiber initiation is the first step in fiber development, and it determines the yield. Here, genome-wide transcriptome profiling of Gossypium arboreum was performed to determine the molecular basis of cotton fiber initiation. A comparison of the transcriptomes of fiber-bearing ovules at -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 d post-anthesis detected 12,049 differentially expressed genes that mainly participated in ribosome, carbon metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis pathways. Genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1 and hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase, involving in fatty acid degradation and flavonoid biosynthesis, were enriched. Furthermore, 1049 differentially expressed transcription factors were identified. Among these, 17 were trihelix family transcription factors, which play important roles in plant development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In total, 52 full-length trihelix genes, named as GaGTs, were identified in G. arboreum and located in 12 of the 13 cotton chromosomes. Transcriptomic data and a quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that several GaGTs were significantly induced during fiber initiation in G. arboreum. Thus, the genome-wide comprehensive analysis of gene expression in G. arboreum fiber initiation will serve as a useful resource for unraveling the functions of specific genes. The phylogenetic relationships and expression analyses of the G. arboreum trihelix genes established a solid foundation for future comprehensive functional analyses of the GaGTs.

Abstract
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in root nodules of grain legumes is essential for high yielding. Protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation plays important role in root nodule development. Differences in the phosphoproteomes may either be developmental specific and related to nitrogen fixation activity. An iTRAQ-based quantitative phosphoproteomic analyses during nodule development enables identification of specific phosphorylation signaling in the Lotus-rhizobia symbiosis. During evolution, legumes (Fabaceae) have evolved a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia, which fix atmospheric nitrogen and produce ammonia that host plants can then absorb. Root nodule development depends on the activation of protein phosphorylation-mediated signal transduction cascades. To investigate possible molecular mechanisms of protein modulation during nodule development, we used iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses to identify root phosphoproteins during rhizobial colonization and infection of Lotus japonicus. 1154 phosphoproteins with 2957 high-confidence phosphorylation sites were identified. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of functional groups of these genes revealed that the biological processes mediated by these proteins included cellular processes, signal transduction, and transporter activity. Quantitative data highlighted the dynamics of protein phosphorylation during nodule development and, based on regulatory trends, seven groups were identified. RNA splicing and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathways were extensively affected by phosphorylation, and most Ser/Arg-rich (SR) proteins were multiply phosphorylated. In addition, many proposed kinase-substrate pairs were predicted, and in these MAPK6 substrates were found to be highly enriched. This study offers insights into the regulatory processes underlying nodule development, provides an accessible resource cataloging the phosphorylation status of thousands of Lotus proteins during nodule development, and develops our understanding of post-translational regulatory mechanisms in the Lotus-rhizobia symbiosis.

Abstract
AGPase catalyzes a key rate-limiting step that converts ATP and Glc-1-p into ADP-glucose and diphosphate in maize starch biosynthesis. Previous studies suggest that AGPase is modulated by redox, thermal and allosteric regulation. However, the phosphorylation of AGPase is unclear in the kernel starch biosynthesis process. Phos-tagTM technology is a novel method using phos-tagTM agarose beads for separation, purification, and detection of phosphorylated proteins. Here we identified phos-tagTM agarose binding proteins from maize endosperm. Results showed a total of 1733 proteins identified from 10,678 distinct peptides. Interestingly, a total of 21 unique peptides for AGPase sub-unit Brittle-2 (Bt2) were identified. Bt2 was demonstrated by immunoblot when enriched maize endosperm protein with phos-tagTM agarose was in different pollination stages. In contrast, Bt2 would lose binding to phos-tagTM when samples were treated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Furthermore, Bt2 could be detected by Pro-Q diamond staining specifically for phosphorylated protein. We further identified the phosphorylation sites of Bt2 at Ser10, Thr451, and Thr462 by iTRAQ. In addition, dephosphorylation of Bt2 decreased the activity of AGPase in the native gel assay through ALP treatment. Taking together, these results strongly suggest that the phosphorylation of AGPase may be a new model to regulate AGPase activity in the starch biosynthesis process.

Abstract
Phosphorylation events are important during cellular function. Analysis of phosphorylation in complex samples has been extensively studied using large-scale phosphopeptide enrichment methods. Quantitative analysis of the enriched phosphopeptides is subsequently performed using label-based methodologies (e.g., SILAC, iTRAQ, and others). Here we describe the protocol for the quantitative analysis of phosphopeptides, enriched with titanium dioxide micro-column, using an intensity-based label-free quantitation.

Abstract
Fiber quality and yield improvement are crucial for cotton domestication and breeding. With the transformation in spinning techniques and multiplicity needs, the development of cotton fiber quality and yield is of great importance. A genetic map of 5178 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers were generated using 277 F2:3 population, from an intra-specific cross between two upland cotton accessions, CCRI35 a high fiber quality as female and Nan Dan Ba Di Da Hua (NH), with good yield properties as male parent. The map spanned 4768.098 cM with an average distance of 0.92 cM. A total of 110 Quantitative Traits Loci (QTLs) were identified for 11 traits, but only 30 QTLs were consistent in at least two environments. The highest percentage of phenotypic variance explained by a single QTL was 15.45%. Two major cluster regions were found, cluster 1 (chromosome17-D03) and cluster 2 (chromosome26-D12). Five candidate genes were identified in the two QTL cluster regions. Based on GO functional annotation, all the genes were highly correlated with fiber development, with functions such as protein kinase and phosphorylation. The five genes were associated with various fiber traits as follows: Gh_D03G0889 linked to qFM-D03_cb, Gh_D12G0093, Gh_D12G0410, Gh_D12G0435 associated with qFS-D12_cb and Gh_D12G0969 linked to qFY-D12_cb. Further structural annotation and fine mapping is needed to determine the specific role played by the five identified genes in fiber quality and yield related pathway.

iTRAQ-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis Reveals Cold Responsive Proteins Involved in Leaf Senescence in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:ijms18091984.

Abstract
Premature leaf senescence occurs in the ultimate phase of the plant, and it occurs through a complex series of actions regulated by stress, hormones and genes. In this study, a proteomic analysis was performed to analyze the factors that could induce premature leaf senescence in two cotton cultivars. We successfully identified 443 differential abundant proteins (DAPs) from 7388 high-confidence proteins at four stages between non-premature senescence (NS) and premature senescence (PS), among which 158 proteins were over-accumulated, 238 proteins were down-accumulated at four stages, and 47 proteins displayed overlapped accumulation. All the DAPs were mapped onto 21 different categories on the basis of a Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) analysis, and 9 clusters were based on accumulation. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment results show that processes related to stress responses, including responses to cold temperatures and responses to hormones, are significantly differentially accumulated. More importantly, the enriched proteins were mapped in The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), showing that 58 proteins play an active role in abiotic stress, hormone signaling and leaf senescence. Among these proteins, 26 cold-responsive proteins (CRPs) are significantly differentially accumulated. The meteorological data showed that the median temperatures declined at approximately 15 days before the onset of aging, suggesting that a decrease in temperature is tightly linked to an onset of cotton leaf senescence. Because accumulations of H2O2 and increased jasmonic acid (JA) were detected during PS, we speculate that two pathways associated with JA and H2O2 are closely related to premature leaf senescence in cotton.

Abstract
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the world's most important fiber crops, accounting for more than 90% of all cotton production. While their wild progenitors have relatively short and coarse, often tan-colored fibers, modern cotton cultivars possess longer, finer, stronger, and whiter fiber. In this study, the wild and cultivated cottons (YU-3 and TM-1) selected show significant differences on fibers at 10 days postanthesis (DPA), 20 DPA, and mature stages at the morphological level. To explore the effects of domestication, reveal molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypic differences, and better inform our efforts to further enhance cotton fiber quality, isobaric tags for relative and absolute protein quantification-facilitated proteomic methods were performed on developing fibers. There were 6990 proteins identified; among them, 336 were defined as differentially expressed proteins between fibers of wild versus domesticated cotton. The down- or up-regulated proteins in wild cotton were involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, zeatin biosynthesis, fatty acid elongation, and other processes. Association analysis between transcriptome and proteome showed positive correlations between transcripts and proteins at both 10 DPA and 20 DPA. Differences in proteomics have been verified at the mRNA level by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and have been validated at the physiological and biochemical levels by POD (peroxidase) activity assays and ZA (zeatin) content estimates. This work corroborates the major pathways involved in cotton fiber development and demonstrates that POD activity and zeatin content have a great potential related to fiber elongation and thickening.

Abstract
Low temperature is one of the key environmental stresses, which greatly affects global banana production. However, little is known about the global phosphoproteomes in Musa spp. and their regulatory roles in response to cold stress. In this study, we conducted a comparative phosphoproteomic profiling of cold-sensitive Cavendish Banana and relatively cold tolerant Dajiao under cold stress. Phosphopeptide abundances of five phosphoproteins involved in MKK2 interaction network, including MKK2, HY5, CaSR, STN7 and kinesin-like protein, show a remarkable difference between Cavendish Banana and Dajiao in response to cold stress. Western blotting of MKK2 protein and its T31 phosphorylated peptide verified the phosphoproteomic results of increased T31 phosphopeptide abundance with decreased MKK2 abundance in Daojiao for a time course of cold stress. Meanwhile increased expression of MKK2 with no detectable T31 phosphorylation was found in Cavendish Banana. These results suggest that the MKK2 pathway in Dajiao, along with other cold-specific phosphoproteins, appears to be associated with the molecular mechanisms of high tolerance to cold stress in Dajiao. The results also provide new evidence that the signaling pathway of cellular MKK2 phosphorylation plays an important role in abiotic stress tolerance that likely serves as a universal plant cold tolerance mechanism.

Abstract
Lignocelluloses contained in animal forage cannot be digested by pigs or poultry with 100% efficiency. On contrary, Aspergillus fumigatus, a saprophytic filamentous fungus, is known to harbor 263 glycoside hydrolase encoding genes, suggesting that A. fumigatus is an efficient lignocellulose degrader. Hence the present study uses corn, wheat, or soybean as a sole carbon source to culture A. fumigatus under animal physiological condition to understand how cellulolytic enzymes work together to achieve an efficient degradation of lignocellulose. Our results showed that A. fumigatus produced different sets of enzymes to degrade lignocelluloses derived from corn, wheat, or soybean cell wall. In addition, the cellulolytic enzymes produced by A. fumigatus were stable under acidic condition or at higher temperatures. Using isobaric tags for a relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) approach, a total of ∼600 extracellular proteins were identified and quantified, in which ∼50 proteins were involved in lignocellulolysis, including cellulases, hemicellulases, lignin-degrading enzymes, and some hypothetical proteins. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD004670. On the basis of quantitative iTRAQ results, 14 genes were selected for further confirmation by RT-PCR. Taken together, our results indicated that the expression and regulation of lignocellulolytic proteins in the secretome of A. fumigatus were dependent on both nature and complexity of cellulose, thus suggesting that a different enzyme system is required for degradation of different lignocelluloses derived from plant cells. Although A. fumigatus is a pathogenic fungus and cannot be directly used as an enzyme source, as an efficient lignocellulose degrader its strategy to synergistically degrade various lignocelluloses with different enzymes can be used to design enzyme combination for optimal digestion and absorption of corn, wheat, or soybean that are used as forage of pig and poultry.

Abstract
The ZmCCT, one of the most important genes affecting photoperiod response, delays flowering under long-day conditions in maize (Zea mays). In this study we used the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technique-based proteomics approach to identify differentially expressed proteins between a near-isogenic line (NIL) and its recurrent parent, contrasting in alleles of ZmCCT. A total of 5,259 distinct proteins were identified. Among them, 386 proteins were differentially expressed between NIL-cml line (ZmCCT-positive) and H4 line (ZmCCT-negative). Functional categorization showed that the differentially proteins were mainly involved in energy production, photosynthesis, signal transduction, and cell organization and biogenesis. Our results showed that during shoot apical meristem (SAM) development cell division proteins, carbohydrate metabolism–related proteins, and flower inhibition-related proteins were more abundant in the ZmCCT-positive line than the ZmCCT-negative line. These results, taken together with morphological observations, showed that the effect of ZmCCT on flowering might be caused by its effect on one or all of these biological processes. Although the exact roles of these putative related proteins remain to be examined, our results obtained using the proteomics approach lead to a better understanding of the photoperiodicity mechanism in maize plants.

Integrative transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome and genetic mapping reveals new aspects in a fiberless mutant of cotton. Sci Rep 2016; 6:24485. [PMID: 27075604 PMCID: PMC4830928 DOI: 10.1038/srep24485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2016] [Accepted: 03/30/2016] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
To investigate the molecular mechanisms of fiber initiation in cotton (Gossypium spp.), an integrated approach combining transcriptome, iTRAQ-based proteome and genetic mapping was taken to compare the ovules of the Xuzhou 142 wild type (WT) with its fuzzless-lintless (fl) mutant at −3 and 0 day post-anthesis. A total of 1,953 mRNAs, 187 proteins, and 131 phosphoproteins were differentially expressed (DE) between WT and fl, and the levels of transcripts and their encoded proteins and phosphoproteins were highly congruent. A functional analysis suggested that the abundance of proteins were mainly involved in amino sugar, nucleotide sugar and fatty acid metabolism, one carbon pool for folate metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis. qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and enzymatic assays were performed to confirm the regulation of these transcripts and proteins. A molecular mapping located the lintless gene li3 in the fl mutant on chromosome 26 for the first time. A further in-silico physical mapping of DE genes with sequence variations between fl and WT identified one and four candidate genes in the li3 and n2 regions, respectively. Taken together, the transcript abundance, phosphorylation status of proteins at the fiber initiation stage and candidate genes have provided insights into regulatory processes underlying cotton fiber initiation.

Abstract
As the longest known single-celled trichomes, cotton (Gossypium L.) fibers constitute a classic model system to investigate cell initiation and elongation. In this study, we used a high-throughput transcriptome sequencing technology to identify fiber-initiation-related single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the wild-type (WT) Upland cotton (G. hirsutum) Xuzhou 142 and its natural fuzzless-lintless mutant Xuzhou 142 fl. Approximately 700 million high-quality cDNA reads representing over 58 Gb of sequences were obtained, resulting in the identification of 28,610 SNPs--of which 17,479 were novel--from 13,960 expressed genes. Of these SNPs, 50% of SNPs in fl were identical to those of G. barbadense, which suggests the likely origin of the fl mutant from an interspecific hybridization between Xuzhou 142 and an unknown G. barbadense genotype. Of all detected SNPs, 15,555, 12,750, and 305 were classified as non-synonymous, synonymous, and pre-terminated ones, respectively. Moreover, 1,352 insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) were also detected. A total of 865 DEGs were identified between the WT and fl in ovules at -3 and 0 days post-anthesis, with 302 candidate SNPs selected from these DEGs for validation by a high-resolution melting analysis and Sanger sequencing in seven cotton genotypes. The number of genotypic pairwise polymorphisms varied from 43 to 302, indicating that the identified SNPs are reliable. These SNPs should serve as good resources for breeding and genetic studies in cotton.

Abstract
Proteomic analysis of upland cotton was performed to profile the global detectable proteomes of ovules and fibers using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). A total of 1,203 independent protein spots were collected from representative 2DE gels, which were digested with trypsin and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization-time-offlight/ time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry (MS or MS/MS) data were then searched against a local database constructed from Gossypium hirsutum genome sequences, resulting in successful identification of 975 protein spots (411 for ovules and 564 for fibers). Functional annotation analysis of the 975 identified proteins revealed that ovule-specific proteins were mainly enriched in functions related to fatty acid elongation, sulfur amino acid metabolism and post-replication repair, while fiber-specific proteins were enriched in functions related to root hair elongation, galactose metabolism and D-xylose metabolic processes. Further annotation analysis of the most abundant protein spots showed that 28.96% of the total proteins in the ovule were mainly located in the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion and ribosome, whereas in fibers, 27.02% of the total proteins were located in the cytoskeleton, nuclear envelope and cell wall. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses of the ovule-specific protein spots P61, P93 and P198 and fiber-specific protein spots 230, 477 and 511 were performed to validate the proteomics data. Protein-protein interaction network analyses revealed very different network cluster patterns between ovules and fibers. This work provides the largest protein identification dataset of 2DE-detectable proteins in cotton ovules and fibers and indicates potentially important roles of tissue-specific proteins, thus providing insights into the cotton ovule and fiber proteomes on a global scale.

Abstract
Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is an emerging high-grade cut flower worldwide, which is usually used in wedding bouquets and known as the “wedding flower”. However, abundant lateral branches appear frequently in some excellent cultivars, and a lack of a method to remove Paeonia lactiflora lateral branches other than inefficient artificial methods is an obstacle for improving the quality of its cut flowers. In this study, paclobutrazol (PBZ) application was found to inhibit the growth of lateral branches in Paeonia lactiflora for the first time, including 96.82% decreased lateral bud number per branch, 77.79% and 42.31% decreased length and diameter of lateral branches, respectively, declined cell wall materials and changed microstructures. Subsequently, isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technology was used for quantitative proteomics analysis of lateral branches under PBZ application and control. The results indicated that 178 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) successfully obtained, 98 DEPs were up-regulated and 80 DEPs were down-regulated. Thereafter, 34 candidate DEPs associated with the inhibited growth of lateral branches were screened according to their function and classification. These PBZ-stress responsive candidate DEPs were involved in eight biological processes, which played a very important role in the growth and development of lateral branches together with the response to PBZ stress. These results provide a better understanding of the molecular theoretical basis for removing Paeonia lactiflora lateral branches using PBZ application.

Abstract
Family 1 GT, designated as UGT, is the largest and most functionally important multigene family in the plant kingdom. In this study, we carried out a genome-wide identification, analysis, and comparison of 142, 146, and 196 putative UGTs from Gossypium raimondii, Gossypium arboreum, and Gossypium hirsutum, respectively. All members present the 44 amino-acid conserved consensus sequence termed the plant secondary product glycosyltransferase motif. According to the phylogenetic relationship among the cotton UGT proteins and those from other species, GrUGTs and GaUGTs could be classified into 16 major phylogenetic groups (A-P), whereas GhUGTs are classified into 15 major phylogenetic groups with a lack of group C. All cotton UGTs are dispersed throughout the chromosomes and are displayed in clusters with the same open reading frame orientation. The expansion of them appears to result from genome duplication and rearrangement. Two conserved introns, A and B, are detected in most of the intron-containing-UGTs in G. raimondii and G. arboreum, whereas only intron A is detected in the intron-containing-UGTs in G. hirsutum. Furthermore, expression patterns of the UGT genes in G. hirsutum wild type and its near isogenic fuzzless-lintless mutant at the stage of fiber initiation were analyzed using the RNA-seq data. Overall, this study not only deepens our understanding of the structure, phylogeny, evolution, and expression of cotton UGT genes, but also provides a solid foundation for further cloning and functional studies of the UGT family genes.

Comparative proteomic and biochemical analyses reveal different molecular events occurring in the process of fiber initiation between wild-type allotetraploid cotton and its fuzzless-lintless mutant. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0117049. [PMID: 25700002 PMCID: PMC4336136 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0117049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2014] [Accepted: 12/17/2014] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore lint fiber initiation-related proteins in allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), a comparative proteomic analysis was performed between wild-type cotton (Xu-142) and its fuzzless-lintless mutant (Xu-142-fl) at five developmental time points for lint fiber initiation from -3 to +3 days post-anthesis (dpa). Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) analyses, 91 differentially accumulated protein (DAP) species that are related to fiber initiation were successfully identified, of which 58 preferentially accumulated in the wild-type and 33 species in the fl mutant. These DAPs are involved in various cellular and metabolic processes, mainly including important energy/carbohydrate metabolism, redox homeostasis, amino acid and fatty acid biosynthesis, protein quality control, cytoskeleton dynamics, and anthocyanidin metabolism. Further physiological and biochemical experiments revealed dynamic changes in the carbohydrate flux and H2O2 levels in the cotton fiber initiation process. Compared with those in the fl mutant, the contents of glucose and fructose in wild-type ovules sharply increased after anthesis with a relatively higher rate of amino acid biosynthesis. The relative sugar starvation and lower rate of amino acid biosynthesis in the fl mutant ovules may impede the carbohydrate/energy supply and cell wall synthesis, which is consistent with the proteomic results. However, the H2O2 burst was only observed in the wild-type ovules on the day of anthesis. Cotton boll injection experiments in combination with electron microscope observation collectively indicated that H2O2 burst, which is negatively regulated by ascorbate peroxidases (APx), plays an important role in the fiber initiation process. Taken together, our study demonstrates a putative network of DAP species related to fiber initiation in cotton ovules and provides a foundation for future studies on the specific functions of these proteins in fiber development.

Abstract
Plants are sessile organisms that need to respond to environmental changes quickly and efficiently. They can accomplish this by triggering specialized signaling pathways often mediated by protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Phosphorylation is a fast response that can switch on or off a myriad of biological pathways and processes. Proteomics and MS are the main tools employed in the study of protein phosphorylation. Advances in the technologies allow simultaneous identification and quantification of thousands of phosphopeptides and proteins that are essential to understanding the sophisticated biological systems and regulations. In this review, we summarize the advances in phosphopeptide enrichment and quantitation, MS for phosphorylation site mapping and new data acquisition methods, databases and informatics, interpretation of biological insights and crosstalk with other PTMs, as well as future directions and challenges in the field of phosphoproteomics.
