With the completion of genome sequencing of several organisms, attention has been focused to determine the function and functional network of proteins by proteome analysis. The recent techniques of proteomics have been advanced quickly so that the high-throughput and systematic analyses of cellular proteins are enabled in combination with bioinformatics tools. Furthermore, the development of proteomic techniques helps to elucidate the functions of proteins under stress or diseased condition, resulting in the discovery of biomarkers responsible for the biological stimuli. Ultimate goal of proteomics orients toward the entire proteome of life, subcellular localization, biochemical activities, and their regulation. Comprehensive analysis strategies of proteomics can be classified as three categories: (i) protein separation by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) or liquid chromatography (LC), (ii) protein identification by either Edman sequencing or mass spectrometry (MS), and (iii) quanitation of proteome. Currently MS-based proteomics turns shiftly from qualitative proteome analysis by 2-DE or 2D-LC coupled with off-line matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and on-line electrospray ionization (ESI) MS, respectively, to quantitative proteome analysis. Some new techniques which include top-down mass spectrometry and tandem affinity purification have emerged. The in vitro quantitative proteomic techniques include differential gel electrophoresis with fluorescence dyes, protein-labeling tagging with isotope-coded affinity tag, and peptide-labeling tagging with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation. In addition, stable isotope labeled amino acid can be in vivo labeled into live culture cells through metabolic incorporation. MS-based proteomics extends to detect the phosphopeptide mapping of biologically crucial protein known as one of post-translational modification. These complementary proteomic techniques contribute to not only the understanding of basic biological function but also the application to the applied sciences for industry.

Objective: With the rapid development of proteomics sequencing and RNA sequencing technology, multi-omics analysis has become a current research hotspot. Our previous study indicated that Xinjiang brown cattle have better meat quality than Kazakh cattle. In this study, Xinjiang brown cattle and Kazakh cattle were used as the research objects. Methods: Proteome sequencing and RNA sequencing technology were used to analyze the proteome and transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle of the two breeds of adult steers (n = 3). Results: In this project, 22,677 transcripts and 1,874 proteins were identified through quantitative analysis of the transcriptome and proteome. By comparing the identified transcriptome and proteome, we found that 1,737 genes were identified at both the transcriptome and proteome levels. The results of the study revealed 12 differentially expressed genes and proteins: troponin I1, crystallin alpha B, cysteine, and glycine rich protein 3, phosphotriesterase-related, myosin-binding protein H, glutathione s-transferase mu 3, myosin light chain 3, nidogen 2, dihydropyrimidinase like 2, glutamate-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, receptor accessory protein 5, and aspartoacylase. We performed functional enrichment of these differentially expressed genes and proteins. The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes results showed that these differentially expressed genes and proteins are enriched in the fatty acid degradation and histidine metabolism signaling pathways. We performed parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) verification of the differentially expressed proteins, and the PRM results were consistent with the sequencing results. Conclusion: Our study provided and identified the differentially expressed genes and proteins. In addition, identifying functional genes and proteins with important breeding value will provide genetic resources and technical support for the breeding and industrialization of new genetically modified beef cattle breeds.

인삼 모상근의 프로테옴 분석에 의해 얻은 질량분석 스펙트럼 데이터는 MALDI/TOF/MS에서 얻는 질량 스펙트럼과 ESI/Q-TOF/MS에서 얻는 탄뎀 질량 스펙트럼으로 구분된다. 질량 스펙트럼은 단백질이 효소에 의해 분해된 펩타이드들의 분자량 정보를 제공하며, 탄뎀 질량 스펙트럼에서는 아미노산 단위로 분해된 절편 단백질의 분자량으로부터 아미노산 서열을 결과로 얻는다. 펩타이드의 아미노산 서열을 BLAST로 검색하면 유사한 단백질을 GenBank에서 검색할 수 있다. 이러한 단백질 동정 방법은 완전한 유전체 서열이 알려진 생물체의 경우 높은 정확도로 단백질을 동정할 수 있으나, 그렇지 않은 경우는 유사한 단백질이 데이터베이스에 존재하지 않아 분석이 용이하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 질량 스펙트럼 및 절편 단백질의 아미노산 서열을 EST (expressed sequence tag) 서열과 비교하여 프로테옴 데이터와 일치하는 EST 서열을 찾아내고 이를 BLAST검색에 의해 단백질 동정에 활용하였다. ESI/Q-TOF/MS 에서 얻은 아미노산 서열은 길이는 짧지만 데이터의 신뢰도가 높으므로 EST 서열과의 연관 관계를 밝힘으로써 단백질에 대한 정보를 보완할 수 있었다. ESI/Q-TOF/MS에서 얻은 펩타이드의 아미노산 서열을 EST 서열과 비교한 결과 90%의 아미노산 서열이 EST DB에서 발견되었다. NCBI의 nr 데이터베이스에서 아미노산 서열을 검색하여 찾은 단백질이 68%임에 비하여, 인삼 EST 서열에 의한 검색이 22% 더 많은 결과를 얻었다. MALDI/TOF/MS의 질량 스펙트럼에서 nr 데이터베이스로 검색한 결과와 인삼 EST 데이터베이스를 검색한 결과가 일치하는 경우는 47개 중 9개인 19%에 불과하여, 탄뎀 질량 분석으로 아미노산 서열을 얻지 않고, 단지 질량 스펙트럼으로부터 단백질을 동정하는 방법으로는 단백질 동정의 정확한 결과를 기대하기 어려움을 확인하였다.

Various experiments using zebrafish have been highlighted recently in the scientific community. Because it is possible to conduct practical experiment from various neurological research to area of genetic study or toxicity experiment. However, gender difference effects are nearly not considered. If the gender differences of zebrafish are considered it is possible to obtain more accurate data. In this study, zebrafish which have different genders were compared each other with NMR-based metabolomics. The extracts of male and female zebrafish were measured by 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. Statistical analysis and target profiling were conducted. As a result, muscle related metabolites were observed in male zebrafish and nerve related metabolites were observed in female zebrafish.

Subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.14) is the major extracellular alkaline serine protease of Bacillus species. Previously, we found that subtilisins did not migrate in the electrophoretic field in the Laemmili buffer system due to their high pI values (over 8.8); however, it formed a 'binding mode' at the top of the separating gel [5]. Utilizing this characteristic, four subtilisins from Bacillus sp. strains (e.g., B. subtilis 168, B. subtilis KCTC 1021, B. amyloliquefaciens KCTC 3002, and Bacillus sp. DJ-1 and DJ-4) were easily and quickly identified by an over-running electrophoretic technique with a miniscale culture supernatant (less than 20 ml) without any column chromatographic steps. Two subtilisins (DJ-l and a recombinant version) from Bacillus sp. DJ-l were characterized, and the enzymatic properties were determined by SDS-fibrin zymography and densitometric analysis. Based on this observation, the recombinant pro-subtilisin DJ-l showed the same 'binding mode,' similar to native subtilisin DJ-l. On the other hand, mature subtilisin DJ -1 without pro-peptide showed no enzymatic activity.

In this study, the global proteome of the IPEC-J2 cell line was evaluated using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a quadrupole Q Exactive^™ Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Proteins were isolated from highly confluent IPEC-J2 cells in biological replicates and analyzed by label-free mass spectrometry prior to matching against a porcine genomic dataset. The results identified 1,517 proteins, accounting for 7.35% of all genes in the porcine genome. The highly abundant proteins detected, such as actin, annexin A2, and AHNAK nucleoprotein, are involved in structural integrity, signaling mechanisms, and cellular homeostasis. The high abundance of heat shock proteins indicated their significance in cellular defenses, barrier function, and gut homeostasis. Pathway analysis and annotation using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database resulted in a putative protein network map of the regulation of immunological responses and structural integrity in the cell line. The comprehensive proteome analysis of IPEC-J2 cells provides fundamental insights into overall protein expression and pathway dynamics that might be useful in cell adhesion studies and immunological applications.

The interaction network of protein -protein plays an important role to understand the various biological functions of cells. Currently, the high -throughput experimental techniques (two -dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectroscopy, yeast two -hybrid assay) provide us with the vast amount of data for protein-protein interaction at the proteome scale. In order to recognize the role of each protein in their network, the efficient bioinformatical and computational analysis methods are required. We propose a systematic and mathematical method which can analyze the protein -protein interaction network rigorously and enable us to capture the biological and physical essence of a topological character and stability of protein -protein network, and sensitivity of each protein along the biological pathway of their network. We set up a Laplacian matrix of spectral graph theory based on the protein-protein network of yeast proteome, and perform an eigenvalue analysis and apply a perturbation method on a Laplacian matrix, which result in recognizing the center of protein cluster, the identity of hub proteins around it and their relative sensitivities. Identifying the topology of protein -protein network via a Laplacian matrix, we can recognize the important relation between the biological pathway of yeast proteome and the formalism of master equation. The results of our systematic and mathematical analysis agree well with the experimental findings of yeast proteome. The biological function and meaning of each protein cluster can be explained easily. Our rigorous analysis method is robust for understanding various kinds of networks whether they are biological, social, economical...etc

A new Bacillus peptidase, bacillopeptidase DJ-2 (bpDJ-2), with molecular mass of 42 kDa and isoelectric point (pI) of 3.5- 3.7, was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus sp. DJ-2 isolated from Doen-Jang, a traditional Korean soybean fermented food. The enzyme was identified as an extracellular serine fibrinolytic protease. The optimal conditions for the reaction were pH 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$. The first 18 amino acid residues of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of bpDJ-2 were TDGVEWNVDQIDAPKAW, which is identical to that of bacillopeptidase F (bpf). However, based on their Nterminal amino acid sequence, molecular size, and pI, it is different from that of bpf and extracellular 90 kDa. The whole (2,541 bp, full-bpDJ-2) and mature (1,956 bp, mature-bpDJ-2) genes were cloned, and its nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence were determined. The expressed proteins, full-bpDJ-2 and mature-bpDJ-2, were detected on SDSPAGE at expected sizes of 92 and 68 kDa, respectively.
